Amazing doesn't begin to discribe

Shelly was amazing in every sense of the word. She met with us prior to our original wedding date that had to be postponed due to COVID and worked with us every step on get things rescheduled. On the day of Shelly showed up early to talk with us and The ceremony itself was made more wonderful by her beautiful words. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to officiate their wedding!

Shelly was wonderful

My husband and I planned our elopement a few weeks before the date that we chose. We weren't sure if we were going to be able to find the right Justice of the Peace in time. Then we came across Shelly. She got back to us so quickly and she was so wonderful to work with. We were planning a more casual, small, and intimate ceremony. With this, we also wanted the day to feel sentimental and special. Shelly knew exactly what were were looking for. She sent a draft of the ceremony in advance of our elopement date and it was so easy to work with Shelly, she touched on everything we had asked for! We were expecting our first baby at the time, she was able to include a statement about this in our ceremony and that meant so much to us. Our family was so impressed by Shelly and they all felt like our ceremony was a perfect reflection of our relationship and just such a special day. Thank you Shelly!

You won't regret working with Shelly.

I couldn't be happier with choosing Shelly to be our JOP for our wedding ceremony. She is kind, attentive, and so easy to work with. With only one call and a few e-mails, Shelly was able to draft up a reading and vows that fit us perfectly without sounding generic. She sends this draft well in advance for you to look at in case there are any changes that you would like to be done. What makes Shelly a true all star is that she was able stand and execute our entire ceremony with an ankle injury without her crutches!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
