So communicative and friendly

Amanda ROCKED this whole process! She is communicative, timely, professional, and so, so personable. I felt like I was chatting with an old friend every time we talked on the phone. Amanda is also extremely clear with everything we needed from the big things (getting the marriage license) to the littlest details (keeping our personal vows safe!). Thank you, Amanda, for being such a wonderful officiant and making us a very happy couple. Highly recommend!

Excellent Work

For our wedding, my wife and I were looking for an officiant who could work with us to create a unique ceremony that felt true to our interests and relationship. Amanda was the PERFECT choice - she made us feel very comfortable from our first meeting and she went out of her way to make suggestions that allowed us to create a script that was exactly what we were looking for. She responded quickly throughout the entire process, and she gave us some peace of mind with her professionalism and calming presence before and during the big day. We could not have been happier with her work, and would recommend her to anyone looking for a beautiful ceremony.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
