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!

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!
