The Best Officiant

Judith was so wonderful to work with! Throughout the planning process she ensured that we had the exact ceremony that we wanted with our own uniqueness. Throughout our ceremony our love story was shared and we even had the chance to choose a few special readings by select guests. We cannot thank Judith enough for her attention to detail, caring spirit, and professionalism during the time we worked together. We highly recommend using her for any wedding!

Awesome Experience!

We loved working with Judith. From the start she made everything easy with suggestions and pre-written material we could choose from to customize our ceremony; she was always open to our specific ideas, desires, and comfort levels though. In the end we wound up with a ceremony that was exactly us, and it felt so genuine and perfect.

Judith showed up early on the day of wedding and made everything just as we wanted it to be. She made us the focus of the ceremony, she did not stray from the script unnecessarily, and she was a gracious ceremony leader.

We had an awesome experience and would recommend her highly to other couples!

Amazing ceremony

Judith was so wonderful to work with throughout our wedding process. From the start, Judith was pleasant and responsive - we had an introductory phone call with her and she immediately made us feel comfortable and calm, as if we’d known her for years! She wrote a great ceremony for us, taking in all of the details and tailoring it to our personalities. Our guests raved about the ceremony and we couldn’t have asked for more. Judith quickly filed the paperwork for our marriage certificate and even gave us a special certificate for framing. It can be nerve-wracking to find someone you don’t know to officiate such an important ceremony, and Judith truly put us at ease and did a wonderful job. We would highly recommend her as an Officiant!

Judith was an absolute joy to work with. Our vision for our ceremony was not particularly religious in nature, though we wanted to respect our parents' faiths while creating something that was uniquely our own. Judith helped us do just that! She walked us through what a "typical" ceremony script looks like (with religious and non-religious versions of each portion) and provided us with various readings, unity ceremonies, etc., to pull from. From there, she helped us to customize the ceremony to truly reflect our personalities and what we had envisioned for our big day. Judith was always polite, professional, and nothing but helpful as we sent drafts back and forth until we reached our desired final product. Judith was even kind enough to join us at our reception and recite a blessing of our choice before we ate dinner. We highly recommend Judith and her officiant services!!!

We absolutely adore Rev. Judith O'Connor. Ever since the first day we met her, we knew she was the perfect match for us. She is such a wonderful person and it definitely shines through. After multiple meetings, we feel blessed to have her in our lives. We got married this past Saturday and the ceremony was beautiful. We got lots of compliments on how perfect it was and how wonderful the readings were. It was personalized and not a cookie cutter ceremony, and it fit us perfectly. We even heard compliments on how great Judith was with just going with the flow. If finding someone who takes the time to get to know you and your significant other prior to performing your ceremony is important to you. If finding someone who will make your ceremony special and unique is important to you. Judith is absolutely the way to go! We can't recommend her enough!

Rev Judith officiated the wedding of a good friend of mine several years ago. I loved how personal the ceremony was and because of that it was an easy choice to have Rev Judith officiate our wedding. Her goal really is to create the ceremony that you want. We picked our own readings, wrote our own vows, and worked with Rev Judith to create the perfect ceremony. During our first meeting with her, Rev Judith asked my fiancé and I why we loved each other. It was an emotional experience to articulate our feelings out loud and those words were what Rev Judith used to describe us in her gathering words. Very organized and professional. I would highly recommend Rev Judith!

Judith is so great. She spent a ton of time getting to know us, wrote a beautiful one of a kind ceremony, and has been a great help in organizing the processional and such, too. I am so happy we found her!

Reverend Judith was an amazing officiant. She was recommended to me by a friend, and was exactly what I was looking for. We did not want a church wedding, but also did not want a "JP" 5-minute ceremony. Reverend Judith worked with us to make our ceremony completely unique to us. It was so personal and touching. Just beautiful. She truly cares about her couples and goes above and beyond to make their ceremony perfect. My parents and in-laws still talk about our wonderful ceremony. We are so happy to have worked with Judith and recommend her to anyone looking for a very special and unique wedding ceremony.

I found Rev. Judith O'Connor at a bridal convention and I instantly knew I wanted her for our wedding. She was so friendly, accommodating, and easy to talk about what you envisioned your ceremony to be. When my husband and I first met with her, she wanted to know all about us, OUR story, and was interested in it. We had a very calm positive feeling about her.
Planning my wedding, I was reluctant because I always thought I would get married in a Catholic Church and I knew that is what my family would want. Having my husband not baptized hindered this from happening. I asked Rev. Judith If there was a way if we can make it life a Catholic ceremony and personal to fit our needs, she succeeded very well.
Our wedding ceremony was perfect! Very personal about the two of us, and exactly the feel of a catholic ceremony without being in the church. She sent us drafts of our ceremony before and let us know exactly what was being said which was awesome.
After our ceremony, many of our guests including my parents were very pleased and told me that was one of the best wedding ceremonies that have been to.
Thank You Rev. Judith for doing a wonderful job and for marrying us! We couldn't of been more happier! :0)

Rev. Judith O'Connor officiated our ceremony in February. She worked with us to create a personalized ceremony that fit us as a couple, it was a mixture of traditional and "us." We met with her in person at first where she learned about us and our stories. Then as the wedding day approached, she worked together with us via email tweaking the draft of our ceremony until we were pleased with the final product. Our family and friends all commented on how beautiful the ceremony was and that it was nice that it was clearly made for us. After the ceremony, we invited her to stay for the reception. She mingled with our guests and our grandparents, who really enjoyed getting to know her.
