Amazing experience from start to finish! From the very first meeting until after we said goodbye on the wedding day, Megan was the easiest person to work with and was a brilliant craftsperson for our ceremony. The one thing that our guests kept saying over and over was how much they loved the ceremony and how impressed they were at the level of storytelling presented by Megan. With Megan's helpful suggestions to us asking for small elements here and there all along the way, she was able to work with us to make a ceremony that was both short and sweet but also had all the tailored elements we wanted such as cultural greetings from both my husband's background (Irish-American) and mine (Japanese-American). We also loved Megan's suggested readings for the younger kids in our families, and her careful orchestration of a Celtic tradition of physically tying the knot called hand-fasting. Since we had never met Megan in person until the wedding day, we thought the greatest compliment came from a guest who is also an officiant. He asked, "How long have you and Megan been close friends?" He was surprised to learn that we had never met before and that she still captured our ceremony as if she were a lifelong friend.

Wonderful experience with Megan
Working with Megan was a joy from start to end. All of the guests were very complimentary of the ceremony as she created a very sweet and personalized ceremony for us and was flexible to deliver exactly what we wanted for our wedding. Cannot recommend her highly enough as she was so warm and caring and this definitely came through at the ceremony. We enjoyed working with her, and truly treasure the memories of our ceremony.

Personalized and professional!
Megan wrote a completely personalized wedding ceremony for us that fully captured our relationship and personalities. Amazingly, she got all the information she need to do this with just a brief Skype call and a couple of questionnaires that my husband and I filled out. As a busy couple, we *really* appreciated how efficient Megan's process was, and thrilled to see her ability to personalize. All reception, people kept asking how long she'd known us, was she one of our close friends, etc. She really "got" us and it showed.

Beyond the ceremony itself, Megan was an absolute professional - she communicated clearly with us, gave us a sense of the timeline, let us see a draft of our ceremony to make edits before hand, and did a ton of behind the scenes work to coordinate the little details that really matter (e.g., calling our DJ to make sure the sound system was going to work for her). Her professionalism really shone through.
We recommend her without question!

Absolutely wonderful officiant. Highly recommend Megan and her beautiful smile, amazing personality and joy doing what she loves shines through on your wedding day.
Many people don't think they need a "Megan Barber" in their life when it comes to such a celebratory event as a wedding, but using her talent will make the actual "ceremony" what it should be. Something that is meaningful that celebrates YOU. She makes this act of getting married truly memorable. I totally believe in what she does and how she approaches the task at hand. I totally believe in her work. What she accomplishes at the ceremony is more valuable than anything you put into the reception!!
