Perfect ceremony

Rev. Sue Ellen did a wonderful ceremony.
From the first meeting and 30min talks she understood our story and her first ceremony draft and texts proposal were accurate and matching what we wanted. It made it so much easier to finalize it.
We would recommend Sue in a heartbeat.

Thank you.

Very supportive and knowledgeable

Rev Sue made our special day complete with a beautiful ceremony. Our first meeting with Rev Sue before our wedding went very well and we were very comfortable with her doing the ceremony. We did not have a lot of background knowledge in what we wanted for a ceremony but she came prepared with so many different options. She had such a variety of material and options to make our ceremony feel special to us. We wound up writing our own vows and customized our ceremony to perfect fit us, all with her guidance. On our wedding day and the rehearsal she provided a lot of support in making sure everything came together.
