I'm trying not to cry writing this! Reading through some of the older reviews, it's clear how many lives Tirzah has touched, and we are no different. She is truly a gem, there is no one else like her. My spouse is non-binary, and we're both queer and spiritual, so it was important for us to find someone who reflected our values and made us feel comfortable (we're straight-passing and from Texas, so that can get a little dicey in our neck of the woods)! We initially reached out via our wedding coordinator, and from there we immediately clicked with Tirzah after our intro call! We had so much fun in our ceremony creation sessions getting to know her, and getting to talk so deeply about our relationship. We felt that she truly knew and understood us at our core, and that itself is priceless.

Two days before our wedding, we had a severe falling out with some family members due to our queerness, among other things-- shaming our wedding, my spouse's upbringing and income, our life we've built together, and ultimately doubting the love we have had for each other over the past five years. It was so devastating and heartbreaking for us, to be told we were a mistake, as I'm sure many queer couples experience.

I (wife) probably could have handled this better and protected my partner more had it happened at any other time in the past 5 years, but of course it never plays out that way. We were both so anxious for those 48 hours, we were truly afraid the day would be ruined, but as soon as Tirzah arrived to the venue that morning wearing her (incredibly slay) outfit in our wedding colors and her bright smile, all of that fear melted away entirely. I was so relieved, my spouse and I got ready separately so I can't speak for them, but somehow, knowing that Tirzah, (with her own life, family, etc to worry about) showed up for me in a way that my parents wouldn't... it's slapped some Gorilla glue on my little gay heart and gave me so much strength to get through the day. As soon as the custom ceremony she wrote for us began, we knew just how SEEN and considered we were, and the love this one human being had for us, basically two strangers, outshone any and all negativity and doubt that tried to weasel its way in. Our ceremony was PERFECT. It spoke to who we are as people, and who we are striving to become together. We were able to read our own vows, perform a handfasting, AND do a ring warming/exchange, and it all went so smoothly and effortlessly! Tirzah is a true professional and, I'm not even biased when I say this, it was the best ceremony I've ever seen. Tirzah is a force for love in all forms!!

We cannot recommend NearlyWed enough. This is a business created by a person who cares about you at the deepest level, and your journey as a couple, and it goes so much further beyond just signing a marriage license. If you're seeking someone to marry you and dive into your relationship in a meaningful way, please seek out their services!! Tirzah, we've said it a million times already, but we'll never forget what you've done for us and we're so thankful to call you a friend!!! Elliott and I love you dearly!

We seriously don’t have the right words to explain how amazing Tirzah is. My now wife and I met Tirzah at a LBGTQ Wedding expo. She was the first vendor we saw as we walked in. We stopped to talk to her and felt an immediate connection.
From there we decided to do premarital coaching with Tirzah as well as have her officiate our wedding.
My wife and I had some huge breakthroughs with Tirzah in our pre marital coaching sessions. I really believe these sessions strengthened our relationship and helped us learn a lot about each other. We immediately felt comfortable talking with Tirzah and she has such a calm and caring demeanor.
After our pre marital sessions we started our ceremony creation sessions. Tirzah leaves no stone unterned when it comes to ceremony creation. She sent us a document with so many questions to answer about our relationship and different ceremony elements. It was so fun to go re live our relationship from the beginning and chat about it with Tirzah so she could create the perfect ceremony. She was so helpful in giving ideas for the ceremony and helped guide us to what was perfect for us.
The actual ceremony day and ceremony were beyond perfect. Tirzah arrived early and mingled with our guests before the ceremony. She worked seamlessly with our venue coordinators and made us feel so confident right before the ceremony started. My wife and I were both so nervous to stand in front all of our family and friends but Tirzah has the most calming presence about her, so standing in front of everyone with her we definitely felt a sense of ease.
The ceremony script was so beautifully written and came across more perfect than we ever could have imagined.
At the reception I had so many guest come up to me and tell me how impressed they were with Tirzah. They expressed that she felt so genuine, well spoken, it felt like she really knew us, and that she was just fantastic overall.
We seriously cannot reccomend Tirzah enough. You will not be sorry for choosing her to officiate your wedding.

Tirzah was amazing to work with and really took the time to get to know my partner and I so by the time we were going over the ceremony it felt as though she had a very deep understanding of our relationship and what was important to us. I can be very nit-picky when it comes to the way things sound and they did an incredible job of incorporating all of our requests. The day of, of course there were some challenges with other aspects of our wedding but Tirzah was super calm and made adjustments to ensure we got what we wanted. Thank you so much, and I hope this helps anyone who is looking for a great officiant!!!

Tirzah was an incredible officiant, and she helped us craft a unique and personal ceremony that had us (and many of our guests) crying tears of joy. I appreciated that she had thorough questions to guide us through the ceremony creation process, that she met with us multiple times in person and over Zoom in the months leading up to the big day, and that she even spoke with both of our sisters to add extra special touches to the ceremony. We would absolutely recommend working with her!

Tirzah put together the perfect ceremony for our wedding. She spent so much time with us helping craft a truly unique ceremony that was specific to our love and all of our guests commented on how much they loved the ceremony! She was a joy to work with leading up to the wedding and helped alleviate many of our worries regarding the ceremony and helped answer various other wedding questions we had along the way. If we went back and did it all again we would absolutely choose Tirzah as our officiant again!

My wife and I were struggling with finding a way to access premarital counseling that wasn't Christian and was queer friendly. We had almost given up after doing some initial consults with counselors but then my wife found Tirzah. Tirzah met my wife and I where we were at in our relationship and gave us the tools to move our relationship forward. She didn't shame either of us for how we each viewed an issue or conflict, rather she validated both points of view and assisted us with viewing things from each other's point of view. We learned skills that we use often to repair conflict, communicate more efficiently, and to make sure we are both working to maintain and grow the relationship. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to any couple that is interfaith, and not heterosexual passing and I know we will be quick to book maintenance sessions with her as well.

Tirzah and Falon did such an amazing job with our wedding ceremony. They really spent time getting to know us and our story to craft a beautiful ceremony that felt so true to us. We are so happy with how it all turned out!

Tirzah and Falon understood us so well, they composed such a lovely ceremony and helped us all along the way with ideas and suggestions all while getting to know us individually and who we are together

We worked with Tirzah and Falon through NearlyWed Coaching and they were both amazing! Tirzah met with us a couple of times over zoom to discuss everything about what we wanted for our ceremony and to get to know us better as a couple too. Falon was the one that was officiating our wedding and joined some of those calls as well which was great. We felt completely comfortable around both Tirzah and Falon and were beyond thrilled with the touching, sweet and personal script they worked with us to write and deliver during the ceremony. We went in to this with no idea about what we really wanted to be said or done during the ceremony, and Tirzah suggested so many wonderful ideas that made us beyond happy with the final idea. Our ceremony was beautiful because of Tirzah and Falon. You will not regret going with NearlyWed Coahing. They offer such a safe and inclusive space for all and it was all around perfect! :)

Tirzah is truly a one of a kind rockstar when it comes to wedding counseling. When we began our search for a wedding counselor, we were feeling flustered with our wedding planning process. As a queer couple it was incredibly important to us that we have a wedding that was representative of us as couple, this led to a unique and very personal approach that felt very stressful at times. When we met with Tirzah, she quickly assessed the situation with both empathy and compassion. We then decided to book 4 sessions to move forward with the process. Each session we were able to tackle emotionally activating conversations in an affirming and safe place to process and make decisions that felt aligned with our most authentic selves. Throughout these sessions, Tirzah went above and beyond in providing insightful questions, personal experiences and comforting reassurance. We truly felt like we came out of this journey stronger both as a couple and as intentional planners of our big day. We will forever be thankful for the meaningful lessons and conversations we had guided by Tirzah. We highly recommend Tirzah to anyone who is looking to deepen and broaden their wedding planning journey and relationship with each other.
