Scarlett crafted such an amazing ceremony!

I can not thank Scarlett enough for the wonderful handfasting and ring exchange ceremony she put together for my husband and I on our wedding day! She was so easy to work with and such a joy! She took everything that we wanted into consideration and we ended up with such a unique ceremony that we loved and so did our guests!

Our Wedding

Let me start off by saying how amazing Scarlett is. Since day one, she has been flexible, lenient, and cheerful to my husband and I. We got married on July 19, 2024, and I could not have asked for anyone better. She has an amazing and an affordable package with a variety of romantic acts of love during the ceremony. My husband and I chose the rope fasting of hands and it was worth it! She is very humorous to not only the bridal party but to the crowd. She also keeps everyone in check (which is much needed) during the ceremony. Her chosen prompts and poems that describe my husband and I was the highlight of our day. Having her there was cherishing and I'm glad I chose her. If you are thinking of making a reservation with her, do it!

Personalized Ceremony and So Much Information!!

Scarlet was fantastic to work with! She had so much information to give that was extremely helpful for wedding planning and going through the paperwork side of things and that was before she was offically hired! Then she personalized our ceremony and made it so fun to be a part of and added in great details for our handfasting.

Amazing! Beautiful ceremony!!

I found Scarlett online when I desperately needed an officiant last minute and was lucky enough to have found her and she was available. She was more than I could have hoped for. She took the time to learn about us and in corporate that into our ceremony. From start to finish it was lovely. We had a handfasting and she made it so meaningful and explained everything to our guests so they were not left out in case they had never been to one before. So many tears. Highly recommend.

Great experience!

We have yet to stop reminiscing about how perfect our day was! Overall, the ceremony Scarlett prepared was beautiful and everything we imagined it would be! We received many complements from guests about how much fun we had at the alter! We performed a Jaimala exchange which turned out perfectly. Scarlett did a great job describing the exchange to guests, and it was such a neat experience! A quick match of rock, paper, scissors before the ring exchange as well as “sealing it with a shot” were also fun and unique touches! We are so thankful Scarlett encouraged us to write and read our own vows. We were both so nervous to do so, but it added so much to the ceremony! Aside from that, Scarlett was timely and very organized which we greatly appreciated! Thank you again for all your hard work and being a huge part of the day we will remember forever!

Thoughtful, Considerate, Fun and Lighthearted.

Scarlett was our officiant for our wedding. She did a beautiful job communicating with us, putting together our ceremony and giving our ceremony the loving, light-hearted feel we wanted.

She made us a beautiful handfasting cord and was very attentive to our story and what was important to us. I highly recommend her if you need an officiant that is down to Earth, helpful and a beautiful writer and speaker.

Sensational Scarlett

Scarlett is a treasure of an officiant who goes above and beyond for her couples. My now husband and I had foolishly left finding an officiant to a few months before and were so fortunate to find someone whose style so seamlessly fit into and enhanced our day. Her humor, professionalism, art as a storyteller, and happy disposition made the ceremony intimate and memorable for us and a lot of our guests. Scarlett personalized the ceremony to us so it didn't feel generic or boring in the slightest. She gave us detailed information in preparation for the day so we knew what to expect and to be sure we got our vows and marriage certificate in time. She gave us invaluable input on how to structure and revise our vows so they were intimate, but not 2 pages long. She even helped sew one of my bridesmaid's broken dress straps while we were doing photos before the ceremony. Scarlett had one of the most significant roles in our wedding day and we can't thank her enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
