The Best!!

Meredith was AMAZING! From our first meeting to the day of, we couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. She answered so many questions during the process, especially since we lived out of state and were getting married in a different state. She included every detail we asked, and had such beautiful and touching details. We HIGHLY recommend Meredith!!

The Best Officiant We Could Ask For!

When I say that Meredith knocked it out the park... she totally knocked it out of the park!! From the first meeting, she really took our personalities into account and helped craft a ceremony that felt like "us". When we suggested doing a private vow exchange before our ceremony with our families, she helped to lead us through such and created a really beautiful moment. We then shared our public vows at our ceremony, which were just as heartfelt. Friends & family kept coming up to us throughout the evening to compliment how great our officiant was. We truly couldn't thank Meredith enough for making our day so special!! It absolutely would not have been the same without her.

If you're looking for an officiant in Lancaster, PA- look no further!!

Our Perfect Officiant

Meredith was the perfect officiant to have at our wedding. She created such a beautiful and unique ceremony for us, and tied what makes us "us" into one of the most important days of our lives.

Amazing officiant!

Meredith was wonderful to work with. The ceremony she wrote for us was beautiful and personalized. She was also very knowledgable and gave great advice about the legal steps we'd need to take. And, she was very flexible and helpful with all the changes we needed to make due to the pandemic. We would absolutely recommend her!

Meredith is amazing!

Meredith was the best! We are so lucky we were able to hire a professional for our wedding. She was so friendly and we felt so comfortable from the moment we first talked to her! If you are looking for a great officiant, you should hire Meredith! Also, our hand written ceremony is amazing and so cute!

My perfect ceremony!!

Meredith is a close friend of mine, whom I met through my husband, so I always knew I wanted her to be involved in officiating our ceremony. We also wanted another of our friends, Brett, to be involved, too, because I had this vision of the two of them balancing each other the way Fred and I balance each other. When it came to my wedding, as unusual as it is to hear, the ceremony was really at the top of my priorities list and I wanted it to be special and personal, full of love and tradition. Meredith absolutely blew away all of my expectations. She was wonderful at communicating with me and keeping me in the loop when it came to drafting parts of the ceremony. I wanted to incorporate certain Jewish traditions, and she took the time to research them so that she could properly explain their meaning and significance. She worked so well with our friend, her co-officiant, to ensure that their parts of the ceremony complemented each other. I laughed and I cried and I’ve never felt more in the moment. Meredith was practiced and prepared with everything that she said and did in her role, all the way down to knowing exactly when and how to “duck away” right before our first kiss so that she wouldn’t be in that special photo!! Meredith’s attention to detail, along with her desire to make your ceremony the most special and meaningful that it can be absolutely sets her apart from other officiants I’ve seen/heard at other weddings; I could trust her completely and I knew that she would bring my vision to life. She is a pleasure to work with, and I can’t recommend Meredith more highly!

Perfect ceremony

We can't say enough good things about Meredith — she made our ceremony so special! My husband and I decided to do a ceremony with only immediate family the day before the reception. We were looking for someone that could do a non-religious ceremony, and after face timing with Meredith, we knew she was perfect for what we were looking for!

Not only did she conduct a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony, she also gave us a handwritten version of it. This was so meaningful to us and something we will have as a keepsake forever. Since the ceremony only included our immediate family, it was also something we have been able to share with friends and family that were not in attendance.

We highly recommend Meredith and are so thankful we had her officiate for us.

Wonderful!

My husband's sister in law ( now mine as well :) ) suggested we reach out to Meredith when I was looking for recommendations for an officiant and I AM SO GLAD I DID! Meredith did such an incredible job writing the most beautiful words for our ceremony. We are both so happy that Meredith was such an important part in our special day. I would recommend her time and time again!

A Perfect Day

I can’t say enough good things about Meredith!!! Meredith officiated our wedding this July, and my husband and I were so happy we chose to work with her. She did an amazing job! She was so helpful throughout the process and was so easy to work with. My husband and I weren’t sure exactly what we wanted said during the ceremony, but we knew we wanted a simple, light hearted, non-denominational ceremony. She lead a beautiful ceremony, exactly the style and tone we were going for, and included a lot of personal touches that made it really special. I was nervous for this part of the day to stand in front of all our guests and be the center of attention, but I was so relaxed up at the altar and just enjoyed it, largely due to Meredith. Our guests were even complimenting the ceremony, which was a surprise to me because usually all my family cares about is the food! Thank you again, Meredith, for making our day extra special! I would definitely recommend her.

Best. Ceremony. Ever!

I cannot recommend this officiant enough! She made our special day so personalized and it honestly meant the world to us. She was so flexible with our busy schedules and made time to meet with us and communicated with us to ensure we were well taken care of. Answered all questions we had and made us feel so confident in choosing her as our officiant. Our ceremony was PERFECT, I know I am bias because it was my wedding day but it truly was a reflection of me and my husband. We even got to keep a handwritten book containing the handwritten wording of our ceremony that we have on display at our home to remind us of our beautiful ceremony. Our day would not have been complete with our officiant and we had the best!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
