Beach wedding ceremony

Reverend Erin was awesome!
We cannot say enough good things about our experience with her as our officient! From the beginning , she was warm, welcoming and sincerely wanted to get to know us and our wishes for our unique ceremony. She provided excellent resources for readings, vows and fine tuned our sand ceremony.
She was accessible, well organized and even came early to Block Island for the ceremony.
We highly recommend Rev Erin !

Erin is incredible!

Choosing Erin as our officiant was one of the best decisions that we made in our wedding planning process. From our first meeting, we instantly felt like we were in good hands. Erin is warm, kind, a great listener, and took her time to incorporate all of our personal wishes into our ceremony. She helped us select readings for our ceremony, gave us notes on our personal vows, and overall crafted such an intimate and special ceremony, even better than we could have imagined. We’ve had so many family and friends come up to us and tell us that it was one of the most beautiful ceremonies they’ve ever been to, and I could not agree more. Erin truly has a gift, and we are so thankful she shared it with us to make our wedding absolutely perfect!

Look no further, Rev Erin Goodman is your perfect officiant

Rev. Erin Goodman was such a pleasure to work with. She is such a calming presence and so respectful of different backgrounds, ideas, and traditions. We liked her from the first moment we met her, we didn’t even interview other options because we just got such a really good feeling from Erin. She helped guide us in developing the perfect day - she had great ideas, suggestions, and resources. The day of, she helped ground us in the moment and made us really present for our experience. Every part of your ceremony is customizable and she really gets to know you as a couple to deliver the experience that you want. Look no further, Erin is the best choice!

Kind, compassionate professional who loves what she does

Erin is wonderful! She is so patient, kind, compassionate and professional! She really took the time and effort to understand us as a couple so that she could provide us with the ceremony we wanted. She asked all of the right questions and had some fantastic suggestions to make our ceremony even more special. In our case, we are a blended family, and it was really important to us to incorporate our children. She did this perfectly! We had a beautiful, memorable, special ceremony, thanks to Erin!

Covid Wedding

I am so beyond happy I found Reverend Erin Goodman! My now husband and I had quite the long engagement and took some time to figure out what exactly we wanted to do for our ceremony. Both of us being spiritual, we wanted to do something different. After lots of research we decided on a “Nature Based / Native American” wedding ceremony. In this ceremony we addressed Mother Nature along with the elements that have brought us together. We also added in a sage ceremony. I then reached out to Erin and we met up for our first meeting. During that meeting, Erin did such a wonderful job easing our minds and making us feel confident about our different but meaningful wedding ceremony. I could not have pictured a better person with any better energy to perform this ceremony for us. Erin took her time asking us plenty of questions and really getting to know us in order to personalize our special day to the best of her ability! She was also very flexible in our change of plans due to Covid and a freak Fall snow storm! We are beyond happy to have had her involved in our big day and can’t wait to use her again for any future needs!

Excellent!

Erin was the officiant for our very last minute Covid wedding. We didn't have a lot of time to put together the ceremony, so it was very helpful that Erin was so responsive and made the process stress free and easy. She made the ceremony feel unique and intimate and brought the warmth to the ceremony that we were looking for. We were happy to have chosen Erin for our wedding!

Amazing officiant!

We worked with Erin for our wedding at the Towers in Narragansett, RI in January, 2020. We absolutely loved working with her. From our initial email exchanges with Erin, to meeting with her in person, planning our secular ceremony, and the wedding itself, Erin was responsive, friendly, punctual, and thoughtful. She asked very thoughtful questions about how we wanted to feel and how we wanted our guests to feel at our wedding. She provided guidance on how to structure our ceremony, select readings and craft vows that would complement each other. She tailored all of her language to our wishes and comfort (e.g., not assuming we wanted to be announced as Mr. and Mrs. Husband’s last name). Our ceremony was exactly what we wanted and envisioned it to be, and that is in large part thanks to Erin! We cannot thank or recommend her highly enough.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
