We thoroughly enjoyed working with Stephen as our wedding officiant. He was very attentive to all the elements that we wanted (and didn't want) to be included in our ceremony. He and his wife joined us for the reception afterwards, which was great! We've seen other officiants at other weddings do their thing and bail immediately, so the fact that they stayed and ate with us gave it a much more meaningful and personal feel.
Stephen will definitely bust out his teacher voice for the rehearsal, which was absolutely required for our group of friends and family. It was very appreciated that he took the reigns and made sure everybody knew what needed to be done.
We would absolutely recommend Stephen for your wedding!

We were overjoyed that Stephen was our officiant! He was very responsive, thoughtful, and professional from the very beginning. He gave us helpful tips on how to frame and personalize our ceremony. Being an intercultural marriage, we wanted to incorporate a Chinese tea ceremony into our wedding to honor the bride's heritage. We were thrilled when we found out that Stephen actually had experiences traveling to China and had a good understanding of the Chinese culture and language! He wrote a wonderful introduction for our tea ceremony, and was able to incorporate both western and Chinese traditions into our ceremony. It was a perfect day! Thank you, Stephen!

It was a perfect day, indeed! The "Spirit of Ethan Allen" cruise was a wonderful setting for your intercultural celebration - I was so please at how both families were included, giving equal weight to both languages and both cultural traditions... this says quite a bit about the kind of people your are, and the kind of relationship you share. 百年好合!

Stephen married us this past August and he was fantastic! Always helpful with suggestions, and easy going to make sure the ceremony was just what we wanted! Great at communicating, and kind when it took us a bit longer to get back to him. The ceremony was gorgeous and just what we wanted! He arrived early and made sure all was set and he was very prepared! Highly recommend. :)
