We loved working with Megan!

Megan was the perfect person that you would want standing with you during a wedding ceremony. We loved working with Megan from start to finish, she was so flexible and creative in developing our ceremony. She really took the time to get to know us and she was such a steady presence during wedding day. It was also so nice to know that she would file the Marriage License for us. Thank you Megan!

Best Officiant- Highly Recommend

Megan was absolutely incredible in helping us plan our elopement on a freezing February day! Despite the 4-degree weather, she kept everything organized, calm, and joyful, making the experience unforgettable. Her warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made us feel cared for every step of the way. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant and guide to help us celebrate our special day. We highly recommend Megan! 11/10

Elopement officiant

Megan officiated my elopement at Toughannock Falls and it was a beautiful ceremony. We wanted to keep it on the shorter side since we were using a public space, and Megan gave us a few options to choose from to personalize the script a bit. She also offers to add in or personalize any other parts of it you may want. It was a beautiful ceremony and she was very easy to work with! I highly recommend!

Extraordinary officiant

I needed an officiant last minute and Megan was able to save the day! She was so thoughtful throughout the whole process and made sure that we loved our script prior to the ceremony, despite our last-minute booking. The ceremony was beautiful and we are so grateful to Megan for her central role in making our wedding so special.

Perfect day

Megan was absolutely fantastic as our wedding officiant! She took the time to understand both my love for woo-woo and symbolism and my wife's desire for a more classical and elegant ceremony. We worked together over the course of 8 weeks or so to get her all the details, but once she had everything, she crafted a ceremony that beautifully blended our individual styles. Megan seamlessly wove important quotes and personal stories into the ceremony, making it feel incredibly personal and special. From incorporating meaningful rituals to including elegant touches, she made our wedding day everything we hoped for and more. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant. Thank you, Megan!

Perfect choice!

Megan made our wedding ceremony memorable! We just wanted a very small family get-together on the lake, and she showed great flexibility and good-natured humor (our dog was the ring bearer on the boat dock!). I am not the best communicator, but Megan displayed amazing patience and professionalism in our conversations! She used our personal stories and descriptions of our life together to make our ceremony one-of-a-kind!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

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!!
