Shannon is Fantastic!

Shannon made our ceremony absolutely beautiful. She really understood my husband and I’s relationship. So many of our guests asked if she was an old friend because she nailed it so much. She had everyone laughing including my husband and I. She also spoke with such grace and light. By the end of the ceremony there wasn’t a dry eye there!

Shannon was a breeze to work with ( which I can’t say the same for any of our vendors…) she was responsive, patient, helpful, and most of all personable. Our meetings together did not feel like business at all. Instead we were having coffee together at 11AM on a Saturday just chatting about ourselves. If I could do it all over again, I would change A LOT of things; but I would pick Shannon to marry us every single time. She’s awesome.

Incredibly Thoughtful and Effective Officiant

Shannon is everything we were hoping for in an officiant and more. She has a very calm and thoughtful demeanor, and guided us through the process with such kindness and professionalism, from the first call through the wedding day. Shannon took the time over several calls to get to know us and customize the ceremony to our personalities and needs. She was especially helpful to my husband and I in combining a religious and non-religious background into a ceremony that was comfortable and meaningful to both of us. Her knowledge base spans multiple religious traditions and wedding customs (as well as legal and paperwork requirements), and her focus is entirely on the couple and their wants. She was fantastic at our rehearsal, interfacing with both the venue and the wedding party/families, wrangling everyone expertly into their places so we were fully prepared for the next day. Shannon was an incredibly helpful and impactful part of our marriage preparation and wedding day, and I recommend her wholeheartedly.
