Perfect!!!

Highly highly recommend! We had David Tropea, and he knocked it out of the park! He was super receptive to our wishes (no prayer/religion) and wrote an absolutely beautiful ceremony. We had 2-3 phone meetings with him, and it's clear he really TRULY cares about understanding who we are and getting to know us. He sent us the ceremony script and asked if any changes should be made, and we loved it and didn't want to make a single change!! He had our guests laughing and smiling, and it was indeed short & sweet, but also so tasteful and PERFECT!!

Short & Sweet but Very Personalized

Gary Motal, did a wonderful job officiating our wedding! He was easy to work with and he made the ceremony feel personal and intentional without taking all day. We would highly recommend Short and Sweet Weddings for anyone looking for a great officiant for their big day!
