Reissa was wonderful!

My husband and I could not have asked for a better person to marry us. Reissa was kind, professional, and a joy to work with. She provided us with a warm and memorable ceremony. We were very pleased with the way she listened to our requests and paid attention to detail. We would highly recommend her!

A most heartfelt ceremony

Reissa was our officiant for our vow renewal in St. Croix. We could not have been happier with the ceremony. Reissa contacted us well in adavnce of the event and worked with us on choosing several readings and incorprorated our son into the ceremony as well. Her words were heartfelt and truly beautiful and I was holding back my own tears throughout th event! I highly reccommend Reissa and her company for any wedding or vow renewal.

So Glad we Found Reissa. She's Perfect!

Reissa was not the only minister we could choose from, but she was, without a doubt, the only person for us. Reissa has a warm and eloquent way of making your ceremony unique to you. She makes your wedding commitment very special and memorable.

Loved our experience

We loved Reverend Reissa and are so grateful to her for all the information and guidance she provided to us before our wedding ceremony. She gave ample advice, directions, and templates and allowed us the flexibility to incorporate our own requests. We could not have been more lucky to have selected her in this process. Our ceremony was perfect and we both felt so comfortable with her. What a dream!
