Amanda was easy to work with and created a personal experience for us.

Amanda took the time to get to know us a bit before the ceremony to help make it a more personal experience. She helped us write vows that were traditional yet personal and individual to us. She offered options of how to do the vows to make it less stressful and easy. She helped us with the process of getting married; application, license, name changing, how to change documents. Overall, it was an easy process with a kind person who made us feel special for our wedding.

Elopement!

Amanda was so wonderful to work with, she was flexible and accommodating, and so very easy to communicate with! I reached out to Amanda and she got back to me so quickly, she was easy to talk to, so kind and caring, she truly made our wedding experience magical. She trekked thru the woods so we could say our vows in the sweetest little spot, she was patient so we could get photos. Amanda eased my anxiety in every possible way, I could not be more thankful for having her there on our wedding day. 10000/10 stars

Most memorable day of my life

At the last minute my fiance and I was scrambling to find a way to get married before the end of the year, so after putting up a post our best friends suggested Amanda. I remembered her from when she officiated our best friends wedding and she did an amazing service. Now our wedding was going to be quick and easy as it was a last minute ceremony. I messaged her right away and her response was very quick and she offered us an amazing deal. Any questions we had she responded back very quickly. On the day of our wedding she showed up early and went over everything she was going to do and since we were her last wedding of the year she added an extra knot tying ceremony as well and it was amazing. Her personality is always pleasant and bubbly. She made our wedding so memorable and magical and I will always recommend her if anyone needs an officiant. Thank you again for such an amazing day.

The best!

Amanda is one of nicest people I’ve ever worked with. I perform full-time in the wedding DJ industry with my company titled “Engagement Sounds”, and have witnessed hundreds of different officiants/pastors in that time. I can honestly say that Amanda’s enthusiasm and personality shines way above all the rest. She has a passion for what she does and it truly shows. She’s extremely professional, has a great sense of humor, and interacts with the crowd very well. Look no further than Amanda if you’re searching for a wedding officiant!

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!

10/10 recommend!

Amanda is such an easy person to work with!! If you're looking for an officiant that is professional, responsive, and timely, Amanda is your person. The varying levels of officiating packages that she offered were very detailed and helped us decide what were looking for/needed. I loved that she helped with crafting our vows (because I'm not much of a writer), but didn't edit them to the point that it didn't sound like us/original. Amanda was flexible with us, and was even able to do our rehearsal run through in the morning, even though she was attending another wedding in the evening. Talk about commitment!! We wanted our ceremony to be short and sweet, but have some fun too, and she did just that. Our ceremony was literally perfect and so special thanks to Amanda!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
