Amazing, Professional, Flexible

From beginning to end Amanda was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was flexible to our wants and needs and helped us create our beautiful ceremony. She was always willing to help with whatever we needed to make our day special and perfect. Just how we envisioned it. I cannot thank her enough for everything. She is amazing.

Charismatic, professional, perfect!!!

The professionalism peppered with genuine warmth that Dr. Lawson-Ross afforded our entire wedding weekend was not only exactly as we had envisioned and hoped for, but so too, better than we could have imagined. Dr. Lawson-Ross imbued our special weekend with a charisma that was positively contagious *and* handled all of the details with a seemingly effortless grace. Our wedding was a 3 day long event and from start to finish we found Dr. Lawson-Ross's presence and leadership through everything to be the catalyst for creating the very sort of intimate, lively, and engaging environment we were seeking for both ourselves and all of our guests. If you are looking for an officiant and planner who has the ability to truly hear your intentions for your big day and bring them to fruition in a way that leaves you wowed look no further. Dr. Lawson-Ross has become a lifelong friend and trusted steward for our marriage.

Incredible service and professionalism! Highly recommend!!

Dr. Lawson-Ross was the highest level of professional and such a life saver during the preparation of and on the wedding day. During the wedding she was amazing and took care of the little and big details behind the scenes. She is very detail oriented and has excellent taste. She was even more attentive than the photographer and made a bunch of adjustments to the placement of people/my dress/etc in the photos, and this made them turn out much better. In addition, she has such a warm, supportive and calming presence. Just being around her made the wedding prep and day 2349% better. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to have someone else take your vision and build upon it, to leave you with a beautiful wedding day with minimal stress.
