Thoughtful and Helpful Officiant

Bobbie helped up craft a ceremony that really reflected what we wanted and who we are as a couple. We didn't want a lot of padding or fluff. She helped us streamline everything but still ensured that the ceremony was thoughtful and moving. She also helped us navigate the marriage license process and turned all the paperwork in for us. I highly recommend her!

Handfasting ceremony

It was wonderful working with Bobbie. She made our ceremony so intimate and special. She knows exactly what she's doing and always prioritized our vision. My family keeps talking about how beautiful the ceremony was and I have only good things to say about our experience. We cannot recommend Bobbie enough! :)

Fantastic Officiant!

We found Bobbie through WeddingWire, and she was exactly what we wanted in an officiant. We met a few times via zoom to get to know each other and wrote a beautiful ceremony. On the day of, Bobbie did a great job with the ceremony and her calming presence was very much appreciated and helped us feel at ease to enjoy the ceremony. Our guests commented on how much they loved the ceremony and what a great job she did. We would highly recommend!!!
