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.

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.
