About

I am currently on hiatus and am not accepting new clients at this time. Wedding Wire doesn't allow vendors to pause or remove their accounts so it looks like they have more options than they do.

Good luck with your search.

Very helpful

Scott was a pleasure to work with and helped my husband and I through every step of planning our ceremony. I love that he offers different packages at different price points and a variety of options within each package. Our ceremony was beautifully written and spoken and made our day very special. I would highly recommend him for your big day!

Incredible!

Scott worked with us through 2 weddings (our tiny 2020 pandemic "micro-wedding", and our 2021 larger renewal celebration). Scott is an absolute pleasure to work with, and we cannot thank him enough for being a part of both celebrations. He is very professional, charismatic, and incredibly easy-going. You will be in for a fantastic, memorable ceremony with New Traditions. We cannot recommend Scott's services enough! Thank you so much, and we wish you all the best!!!! :)

So happy we hired Scott

We didn't want a religious ceremony but still wanted something special and not your typical ceremony. Scott gave us so many different options to choose from that we decided not to write our own vows and picked something from the list that was perfect for us. We even got to pick how he started the ceremony and a reading. Our choices were probably a bit different than most but we loved it and so did everyone else. There were tears and there was laughter it was great and this was only the budget option I can't even imagine how incredible his personalized ceremonies are

Excellent!

Scott was great. He was incredibly helpful walking us through what we needed to do and gave us great examples for readings and vows. We loved that he tailored the ceremony to what we wanted so that it was original. He was easy to work with, especially during COVID. Our original wedding was postponed, but Scott made it possible for the two of us to get married on that date. Scott was also flexible with rescheduling the ceremony. It turned out to be an extra special and unique experience and we appreciate everything Scott did to help make it that way.

Would Recommend to Anyone!

We used Scott as our Officiant for our wedding. Scott is reasonably priced, and very easy to collaborate with. He presents with great organization and communication skills. He made planning our ceremony feel like a breeze with his level of professionalism and knowledge in planning ceremonies. The day of our wedding, Scott was a pleasure to be around and stepped in to assist as he could. We are beyond grateful for his role in our big day. Would recommend to anyone!

Perfect Officiant

My fiance and I were having a low-key wedding, but despite this, Scott offered us SO MANY options! We could choose so many elements of the wedding and really personalize it. Scott connected with us quickly and efficiently, and answered all of our questions in a timely fashion. His initial meeting with us was very thorough so we got to really share with him our vision. We felt really supported and informed throughout the whole process.

On the day of the wedding, Scott performed our wedding exactly how we pictured it - with warmth and and respect for the day, but without it being too serious. It was perfect.

Wonderful Experience

Scott did an excellent job as our officiant. We were skeptical about several officiants early in the process, either due to personality conflicts or a lack of understanding what we wanted. But we experienced a breakthrough when we met Scott, who separated himself in a critical way: He was himself.

He sold us on his capabilities without being “sales-y” at all. He presented himself as understanding, personable, and informative. He does this full time as a profession, and it shows. He answered all of our questions, and he expertly directed our rehearsal to be as smooth as possible while ensuring that everybody understood their roles and responsibilities. The ceremony went perfectly largely because this direction!
When the time came to craft a script, he nailed it. It was personalized and heartfelt, as it beautifully captured the mood for the day. All of our family and friends were raving about it, and we teared up more than once. He speaks with a calm but warm tone, and he demonstrated the ability to adjust as necessary. When a helicopter flew overhead in the beginning, he made a great joke to keep things fun.

Overall, if you’re looking for a wedding officiant to handle your big day, Scott would be an excellent choice!

Scott made our ceremony amazing and unforgettable!

I am SO happy we hired Scott for our wedding ceremony. He did such an amazing job! We got the completely personalized ceremony, and I would 100% recommend getting that option!! He did such an amazing job combining both of our stories into one. The guests (and us of course) at our ceremony absolutely LOVED how he told our story as part of the ceremony. So many people came up to us after and told us that it was the BEST and most personable ceremony they had ever been to! He was great to work with, showed up on time, and answered any questions we had. Definitely Recommend! Can't thank him enough!

The ceremony we didn't know we needed!

We are SO thankful that we found Scott and chose to have him officiate our wedding ceremony! Scott gave us the ceremony we didn’t know we needed! Many guests commented on our ceremony, saying how they loved hearing our story and learning more about us since we typically don’t share much about our relationship. Scott also recommended writing our own vows, which we were a little nervous about, but I’m so glad for his recommendation. Personalized vows made the ceremony that much more special and our vow books (also suggested by Scott) are something we will treasure forever. If it weren't for finding Scott, I feel we would have had a very typical ceremony but instead we had the most personalized, emotional and memorable ceremony I could have ever imagined.

Very personable and reasonably priced

Scott was terrific from the first time we contacted him all the way through to our ceremony and when after he continued to guide us through the post ceremony legal questions we had. Will recommend Scott and New Traditions any chance we get.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
