Piece of cake, before the cake!

My husband and I met with Dee to finalize our marriage legally, prior to having our wedding ceremony. Dee was on time, organized, and kind. She made it a comfortable, seamless and timely process, that felt calm and natural. We will certainly be requesting Dee for our ceremony in the near future.

Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

I was in a panic because my out of state officiant couldn’t get the permit from the state of VA to sign our marriage license and make it legal. Dee stepped in and signed our license, talked us through the whole process, made us feel so at ease and genuinely just radiates kindness. I can’t recommend her enough. It was a wonderfully special and private moment for us to be married by Dee separately and still be able to have my uncle be our celebrant for the ceremony. I am forever grateful for her!

Quick and Easy!

My husband and I wanted to get quick signing of our marriage license and were able to do so easily with Dee, no stress. I reached out to her and she responded back a few hours later the same day. Dee was very professional, kind and helpful with the entire journey and I couldn’t be more satisfied. Also her price was cheaper than everyone else I came across!
