Wedding at SFO City Hall
Great experience all together.
Highly Recommend Working With Officially Hitched!
Neither of us knew what we wanted in a ceremony, but Rachael was extremely organized and prepared and knew all of the right questions to ask to guide us through the process and take our ideas into consideration. We had two video calls with her, a questionnaire, a few emails, and that was all it took for her to craft something perfect for us! Very low stress, which is exactly what we wanted for our elopement.
We had the best ceremony right by the ocean and we are so thankful that Rachael was able to make it feel so personal and special.
Rachael was AMAZING!
We held our wedding ceremony at San Francisco city hall and it wouldn’t have been the same without her. Since day one she was professional, organized, and made the entire process very personable. Even though we didn’t know Rachael prior to the wedding, her sincere and benevolent attitude made us both feel incredibly comfortable, almost as if we’ve known her our entire lives. In fact, many of our guests commented they thought we were long time friends. Rachael was knowledgable and was always there when we needed help all the way up until the special day. Her calming presence right before the ceremony was very much appreciated. We don’t live in San Francisco and were grateful for how she would go above and beyond by providing directions/parking to recommendations for restaurants and activities. Our families were very impressed with how professional Rachael was as the officiant and felt the flow of our ceremony was perfect. They said she was genuine, had great projection, and overall was absolutely wonderful. Overall we would highly recommend Rachael, you won’t regret it!
Kind, friendly, professional, organized, communicative
On the day of the wedding, Rachael was well-prepared. She conducted the ceremony with grace and poise, and made sure everything ran smoothly. Her words were heartfelt and touching, and she made the ceremony feel intimate and personal. We received a ton of compliments from our guests, and some even thought Rachael was someone we've known for a long time!
Overall, we would highly recommend Rachael to anyone looking for a wedding officiant. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, and helped to make our special day unforgettable. Thank you Rachael!
Amazing and Flexible Experience
