    A light in the darkness

    My fiance and I were looking to elope and were fortunate to stumble onto her website. We asked every question we could think of and she answered them all and the ones we didnt think to ask. She was always super quick to respond to emails and messages. She went above and beyond even when our stressors were high. She took wonderful pictures and helped us choose the best spot. Sending everyone we know, who wants to elope in NOLA, her way.

    Just right!

    Samantha McGovern officiated our elopement ceremony perfectly! Her spirit was overwhelming sweet and pure. The readings she selected as part of the ceremony were so meaningful and aligned in such a beautiful way. She was more than I anticipated and highly recommended her services.
