Rev. Simone Shepard was awesome! We were able to FaceTime for our meetings with her which made it super convenient for our busy schedules (and being a couple+ hrs away from her). She was available for our Thursday evening wedding which was also a plus. She wrote a beautiful ceremony for us and went into great detail getting to know us in order to make sure it fit us perfectly. She was always professional and very responsive to the many emails we exchanged. She arrived the day of the wedding and immediately started coordinating with other vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. We are so thankful we came across her and couldn't have been happier with how our ceremony went!

Simone was a truly wonderful minister and she made our wedding ceremony perfect! She was so kind and caring, and adapted our ceremony to suit us perfectly. She communicated with us very clearly and efficiently, and answered any question we had along the way. She also coordinated our wedding rehearsal, and the ceremony the day of. My husband and I are so very proud to have had her marry us, and I would recommend her to any loving couple looking for a terrific minister!

Rev. Simone Shepard is absolutely WONDERFUL!!! I meet Simone at a networking event and hit it off immediately. When my husband and I were deciding on what do do for our wedding, we knew Simone was our lady. She was so calm and helpful with everything. She wrote our ceremony for us specifically...and she was open to changes that we wanted to make. She did not get upset or hurt that we wanted to change a few things with the ceremony. She also got into our quirkiness. She did not judge that we wanted to have a fun and very laid back wedding. We didn't do much traditional at our wedding and that was fine with her. She encouraged us to be ourselves and enjoy our day. Choosing to have Simone marry us was one of the best wedding planning decisions we made. We not only got married, but we made a friend for life. Thanks Simone!!!
