Best officiant!!

Elliot was so easy going and easy to talk to during the planning process and on our big day! He was very professional and helpful, and asked questions to make sure that our ceremony was about us. He made our ceremony so personalized, and we received many comments from guests about how much they loved our ceremony! We are so happy that we chose Elliot to be our officiant!

Amazing Officiant!

Elliot was exactly who we were looking for in an officiant! He was very kind, a great communicator and listened to what we wanted for our ceremony. We will be recommending him to our soon-to-be wed friends in the future.

Personable, professional, friendly, kind

Elliot officiated our wedding with such perfect finesse. He chatted with us on the phone to further get to know us, emailed back and forth quickly, and wrote an amazing story to explain our relationship. He comforted us when the pre ceremony nerves kicked in, gave words of encouragement, and made our ceremony exactly what we hoped for. He is clearly MADE to officiate weddings and has a passion for doing so. Elliot, thank you for making our day all that we hoped and prayed for.

Wonderful!

I can't say enough to express how great Elliot was to work with. Having never met Elliot in person, he did a wonderful job getting to know my husband and I, sharing our story, and making our ceremony so personal and special. He was familiar with our venue and did a great job directing us during our rehearsal. Elliot is very professional, responsive, personable, and we would recommend to anyone planning a wedding!

Wow wow wow! Amazing. Loved every word. Elliot made us feel so comfortable. The ceremony was so smooth - felt to natural, like he had truly taken the time to hear us and get to know us in a deeper level. So happy with our choice. You'll love him too!

Perfect Ceremony!

Elliot did such a great job for our ceremony! He included some of our favorite memories in his speech and made it so special. He was there for our rehearsal and ceremony and arrived early to both! He was very professional and we’re so glad he was there for us on our special day!
