Anita is charming, personable and a joy.

We found Anita through our good friends who she married 5 years ago. Right from the start Anita’s process was straight forward, direct and very easy to keep track of. She was incredibly sweet and a had a great sense of humor which helped my now husband and I relax. She was very responsive both in texts and emails and when we had questions or if we wanted to change something for our ceremony she was on the same page as us and understood exactly what we wanted. Not only that, but since it’s Covid, our only discussions happened virtually which can be a hit or miss. When Anita came up to us prior to the ceremony the fact that we actually hadn’t met in person until that day was lost on me. This told me that her process and her experience was so solid, nothing could shake it. She was so calming and promised to help guide us if we felt lost, which she did; subtle clues, a look or a gentle hand on our arms to direct us. The ceremony was the best part! My husband and I don’t really like to be the center of attention. So, when a bee was buzzing around us or I happened to say a certain vow in a particular way, or my friend walked away as I was trying to give her my bouquet, she capitalized on the moment and brought some light-hearted humor for all to enjoy which instantly eased everyone’s nerves! After our ceremony, a majority of our guests came up to me or my husband and told us what a great presence she was and was one of the best officiants they had seen! Anita is wonderful, go ahead and book her before it’s too late!

PS - She is really good at making sure she is not in the photo for your first kiss! ;)

Anita is fantastic!

Anita is a true professional. She spoke to everyone involved in the ceremony beforehand to make sure we were all on the same page. Her sense of humor and calm demeanor put me and my husband at ease. Our ceremony went perfectly! I could not recommend her enough!

Anita is the one!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Anita Gordon as our wedding officiant, and we can’t recommend her highly enough! From the very beginning, she made the entire process feel easy, personal, and completely stress-free.

Anita provided us with a variety of ceremony templates and a simple questionnaire that helped us tailor every part of our ceremony to reflect who we are as a couple. She calls it her “making your own sandwich” approach—letting you choose your own “bread,” “fillings,” and “toppings”—and it was the perfect analogy. We got to customize everything, from the tone and structure to the vows and readings.

On the day of, Anita delivered our ceremony with warmth, sincerity, and just the right touch of humor. It felt like it was written just for us—not something off the shelf.

If you're looking for someone who will take the time to really get to know you, make you feel at ease, and craft a ceremony that’s truly personal and memorable, Anita is the one!

Anita is Amazing!!

Working with Anita was so amazing. Once we sat down with her to meet we just knew that’s who we wanted marrying us. She is so kind hearted and has a great sense of humor. She was so helpful when it came down to creating a ceremony template and completing our marriage certificate. I don’t think it could have been an easier process for both. Day of she arrived on time and found both me and him separately to explain what was about to happen. She helped us have our dog be our ring bearer and also knew to move for the first kiss which you don’t see a lot. She has so much experience and it definitely shows. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. She definitely makes your ceremony that much more special.

We love her

We are so thankful to have had Rev. Anita Gordon officiate our wedding. She is so easy to connect with and after our first meeting we felt confident she was the perfect choice for us. She has some beautiful ceremony templates to choose from and edit, and we couldn't be happier about how everything turned out during the ceremony. She made our wedding ceremony fun and so memorable. Anita was so amazing at providing wedding advice, and even connected us with one of our vendors when we were having trouble finding exactly what we were looking for. We would 1000% recommend reaching out to her if you are looking for a wedding officiant!

Anita is awesome!

Anita is kind, professional, personable and so much more!! She is very experienced and knows exactly what advice to give prior to the ceremony to make all transitions look effortless and smooth. She went above and beyond, checking in with me and my bridesmaids, the groom and groomsmen and our families. She even brought us mints before the ceremony started! Anita is a wonderful speaker. She worked with us to customize the ceremony exactly how we wanted it and gave us simple and clear instructions to apply for our marriage license. All of my family and friends loved her! Pictures speak a thousand words so here is my favorite :)

Best Officiant Ever

Within the first couple minutes of chatting with anita over the phone, I knew she was the perfect fit for my husband and I! She’s the perfect combination of sentimental and funny, she’s super personable and down to earth and she made the planning part of the ceremony sooooo easy! Its easy to get so wrapped up in planning the reception, that the ceremony planning goes on the back burner. Anita made the process so seamless and we were able to customize it exactly how we wanted it. I got so many compliments on Anita from my guests. She’s the best!!!
