Highly Recommend!

We are so grateful to have had Steven as part of our wedding day. After meeting him at a wedding expo, we immediately felt at ease with him. Both of us were a little nervous about being the center of attention, so we wanted an officiant who was professional yet charismatic, someone who could help us feel comfortable – and Steven did just that. He created a relaxed, joyful atmosphere that allowed us to truly enjoy every moment of the ceremony.
The planning process was smooth and stress-free. We met with Steven a week before the wedding to finalize the details and customize the ceremony. He even suggested a few thoughtful touches we hadn’t considered. Communication was easy, and Steven was always responsive and patient.
If you're looking for someone who truly cares about your ceremony and makes the process effortless, we highly recommend Steven!

Beautiful ceremony

Steven was very responsive and easy to work with. He met with us before the wedding day in order to get to know us and make the ceremony personal to me and my husband. I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful ceremony!

Excellent!

Steven was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and professional in the time leading up to our ceremony, and knocked it out of the park when it came the day finally came! He was incredibly pleasant to work with, and made sure that he understood us and our story before crafting the ceremony to our liking. 5 Stars, HIGHLY recommended!
