Reviews of Seattle Wedding Officiants
Amazing officiant!
The very best!
Travelling from the UK to Snoqualmie, Washington we wanted a tiny wedding at a beautiful location. Elaine recommended the Salish, Snoqualmie which confirmed what I had read and had seen online about this amazing location. Elaine made everything so easy to plan from afar! She was so responsive by email and set up a Skype call immediately. She recommended some amazing photographers, putting me in contact with them very early on - this was so helpful! She also sent through lots of sample ceremonies so that we could put together a unique ceremony that fit what we wanted.
On the day Elaine really was amazing and so flexible! I am so happy that she was the person who married us.
I think the best part for us and something we will treasure forever was the spontaneity of having our Wedding ceremony out on the rocks at the Lower Snoqualmie Falls. I can’t remember who suggested it but Elaine was up for the challenge of jumping across rocks out on the river to make this happen for us - thank you Elaine! You made our ceremony so memorable! It was just so perfect!
Do not hesitate to book Elaine! She is super efficient, helpful before, during and after the ceremony and just a really kind, bubbly person! She made our day one to remember and added to our day even more by celebrating with us afterwards! 100% recommend.
Thank you Elaine for making our day so special! (I can only apologise that it’s taken me this long to write a review!)
I hope our paths cross again!
All the best,
Nicole and Jon
She's awesome!

There are many moving parts and unexpected changes that can arise in a ceremony (weather not cooperating, etc.) An officiant has to be able to go with the flow and take charge so that everything runs smoothly. Elaine is extremely organized, focused, professional and articulate. She is adept at coordinating all the parts of a ceremony so that everything runs without any hiccups. She was very cognizant of appropriate places to add music as a special touch for the couple. It was great to work with Elaine and I look forward to providing music at the next wedding she officiates!
Elaine creates beautiful ceremonies! I've attended at least 20 of her weddings (as a photographer, not a guest ;), and have always enjoyed her thoughtful and elegant guiding of the ceremony.
I can't say enough nice things about Elaine and how well she works with clients. I have had the pleasure of working with Elaine over the years and it feels like seeing an old friend each time we work at the same event. You can tell that her clients also feel an ease when getting ready for their big moment and Elaine leading the way. You can't go wrong with having Elaine as part of your special day!
