Amazing officiant

We were thrilled with Bobbie. From the very beginning, her communication and organization was incredible. We were over the moon after she gave us her script for our ceremony and impressed with how easily she “read” us and was able to put together a script that worked perfectly for us. She stayed in touch to follow up with us, edited things upon our request, and arrived early with a smile the day of. We loved having her be a huge part of our wedding!

March 2026 Wedding

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Bobbie at our wedding. Meeting her virtually before the wedding date and discussing all the options she provided made every detail on the actual wedding day run so smoothly. Bobbie is a wonderful kind soul her captured and delivered perfectly our vision.

Bobbie is the best

From the day we first met Bobbie over zoom we felt comfortable with her and having her perform our ceremony. She was always prompt to respond to emails or even jump on the phone. Whenever we had questions or suggestions for our ceremony script she was flexible! And when it came to the day of, she handled everything like a pro when our dj’s mic went out. She’s the best!

So grateful for Bobbie!!!

We found Bobbie a little over a month before our wedding. We only met with her a few times through Zoom but knew from our first meeting that she was who we wanted to work with! My *wife* and I had so many nerves going into our wedding day, and Bobbie helped soothe all of them. Her calm, professional demeanor was exactly what we were looking for to help our big day run smoothly. She was patient and flexible with us, and helped us through each step, asking questions to get to know us better and understand what we wanted. We have received so many comments from guests about how great she was! A true professional!!!

Bobbie’ the Best!

My wife and I planned a very last minute and intimate wedding with our closest family. Bobbie helped guide us through the process quickly and efficiently while making the day extremely special for the both of us. I highly recommend making Bobbie a part of your special day!

Bobbie Makes Your Special Day Special

Bobbie really did a great job making our son and daughter in law’s wedding very special. She met with them several times prior to the wedding to understand them and what was important to them on their wedding day. It really helped reduce the stress levels leading up to the big day and made the ceremony extremely memorable.

The day of the ceremony Bobbie communicated with them several times before arriving which was very comforting. The ceremony itself was so beautiful and Bobbie did an exceptional job making it personalized, thoughtful and memorable.

Couldn’t be more happy and thankful for Bobbie

Great officiant!

We used Bobbie as our officiant earlier this month and she did not dissappoint. We were looking for someone professional but heartfelt. She was just that. She answered all our questions and was super easy to work with. She made the whole process so much easier for us and was a memorable part of our special day!

perfect LBI wedding

I have absolutely no words for how perfect our ceremony was. Bobbie was outstanding. There was not a dry eye in the house. Friends and family thought that we knew Bobbie for YEARS with how well she told our story during our ceremony. It really made it seem like she was there on the sidelines during our love story with how she told it during our wedding. We can’t thank Bobbie enough!! She was amazing and answered every question and really took our meetings to the next level with how personable our ceremony was.
