Highly Recommend!

My husband and I could not have asked for a better experience! Ann is kind, genuine, professional and really took the time to get to know us to make our ceremony individual and sacred to us. She helped create such a beautiful ceremony and vows, and her energy is so positive and gentle. It was a beautiful ceremony and we owe so much of that to Ann!!

Collaborative writing of a special, custom ceremony and wonderful delivery

Ann was easy to communicate with throughout the whole process, is very affordable, and very collaborative! We were also particularly impressed by crafting a ceremony draft with her using the materials she provided to come up with a beautifully unique and tailored ceremony! She kindly delivered the ceremony in the rain with us and made an impactful message with her delivery. Ann also filed the marriage license quickly the week after the wedding.

Excellent!

Ann was really easy to work with, very responsive, and did an excellent job writing and delivering a ceremony that felt very personal. We received many compliments after the ceremony about how nice it was.

Excellence!

Ann was exceptional! She picked up where we (I, the bride) dropped the ball. She is a beautiful writer. She worked with very little knowledge of us as a couple. I know we weren’t easy, being from out of state and never meeting in person until the day before our wedding. She was well spoken and organized. Punctual. Accommodating. I would highly recommend Ann for any of your ceremonial needs.

Amazing Officiant

We hired Ann from Splendid Ceremonies to officiate our wedding, and she exceeded our expectations! Not only is she kind, approachable, and organized-- but was extremely flexible and worked with us through several edits to get the script just right. On the wedding day, she arrived on time and came dressed perfectly for the occasion; she looks great in the photos, smiling and pleasant, while also brilliantly managing to move out of the important shots. Her diction and cadence was notably good during the ceremony (lots of people teared up). We found her pricing to be quite fair for what she provides. She submitted the paperwork on our behalf immediately, so we received our license lightning fast with a cute printout of the ceremony script. Of all the vendors we hired, she was easily one of the best.

Perfect day!

Ann helped create the perfect ceremony for our special day. We had an interfaith wedding, with my sister performing part of the ceremony. Ann incorporated everything we wanted and made the ceremony personal and heartfelt. My tough hubby even cried. It was a perfect day. I highly recommend her!! Very quick to respond to messages and very professional. We didn't have to guess or worry about anything. She had the best suggestions and helped us design the perfect ceremony. 🥰

Incredible!

Ann was so helpful when we prepared our ceremony. We had some unusual ideas (like quoting a musical for our vows), and she just went with the flow and made suggestions to make the ceremony flow naturally. She was easy to talk to, and one of our easiest wedding vendors. 11/10, would recommend to a friend!
