Absolutely Wonderful

Steven was so wonderful to work with in creating a positive and meaningful wedding ceremony. He virtually met with us first to get to know us, our relationship, and our vision for the ceremony and I knew he was the perfect officiant for us. He worked with us to make sure it was exactly what we wanted. We had a part in our ceremony that was something he had never done (a Native American blanket ceremony) and he not only welcomed that idea with open arms, but did research and added his own touch to the ceremony in a respectful and caring way. We received so many compliments from our guest about the ceremony in part to his planning, carefully selected words, and energy. I highly recommend working with him.

Wonderful Officiant

Steven was everything we could have hoped for in an officiant- he really guided us through the process and put in a lot of time upfront to make sure we were happy with the ceremony. The end result felt personal and intimate. We had an early morning wedding for a small group outdoors (no microphone) he did a great job with delivery and guests in the back row complimented that they were able to clearly hear the entire ceremony. Overall tone was professional, friendly and charming!

Wonderful experience

Steven was an integral part of our wedding, and a big part of why it turned out so well. When we first began planning our wedding, we weren't exactly sure what we would want from an officiant, we just knew what we didn't want. In our initial emails with him, we could tell that he was the right fit for us and when we met with him in person, we felt even more comfortable. Steven has a very positive and reassuring way of connecting. He wanted to know us, who we were, what drove us, and what made us fall in love with each other. Throughout the planning process, he offered us helpful tips and genuine insight, and we each corresponded with him individually so that he could incorporate our inner feelings and appreciations for one another into the ceremony. I would wholeheartedly recommend Steven; I really feel that he helped us elevate our words and our ceremony to levels we had not considered prior to working with him.

Great ceremony

We had to organize our ceremony from abroad, and Steven was very accommodating. He provided examples of different ceremonies and allowed us to be creative in adapting sections to fit our couple. We did lots of back and forths to polish the final result and even though we didn't meet in person until on the day I felt everything was in good hands. He was very professional and present during the ceremony - he gave me some welcome and subtle reminders to breath! Many people commented on how beautiful and uncommon the ceremony was. I'd recommend in a heartbeat!

Pure Perfection

Steven was our 1st choice & proved to be pure perfection! He guided us every step of the way, from pre-ceremony preparations, writing our vows, and aligning his ceremonial delivery to express our vision + values. His light-hearted demeanor & humor coupled with his depth & devotion to his craft left us feeling confident and held at the altar, and our guests feeling sublimely entertained and dewy eyed. Steven holds a powerful + pleasing space, leaving everyone with the feeling of being touched, moved and inspired.

BEST of the best!

If you are looking for someone to tell your story with emotion, genuineness, and humor...look no further! Steven is your man! He worked with us from the beginning to create the perfect ceremony. You and your partner will have so much input into the word choices and feel of the ceremony, that it feels so personal. Several guests came up and talked about how amazing Steven and the ceremony was - which I think is rare! He has the most sincere and charming personality and lights up the room with his positive energy. I cannot recommend him enough! I wish I could give him 10 out of 5 stars!

Steven Made Our Wedding Magical

Eric and I were referred to Steven by another Austin-area officiant. We met with Steven twice, the first time so he could get to know us and the kind of ceremony that we wanted. He gave us some great advice and a list of "types" of ceremonies that we could use to build our own, custom features.

We got so many compliments from our guest on how wonderful Steven is (we already knew that) and how the ceremony/vows were like nothing they had ever heard. It was beautiful and fun and exactly what we wanted.

We love Steven and cannot recommend him more highly!

Amazing officiant

We found Steven through the glowing recommendation of our original officiant when we switched venues and the original officiant couldn't make it.
Im SO GLAD we were able to work with Steven! From the first meeting, he got us excited to plan our wedding ceremony instead of uptight and stressed. Essentially after the first meeting, we did all of the planning through Google Docs and it was super easy. His words really captured the essence of our relationship and we couldn't be happier with how the ceremony turned out. The ceremony wouldn't have been the same without him! :)

We found Steven quite by accident, and are so glad we did!!! After our first FaceTime call with him (we were planning the wedding from out of town), we both felt EXCITED to work on our ceremony, instead of just stressed! Steven is such a kind person with a great positive energy. We instantly knew that we wanted him to be the one to marry us. He has a ton of helpful materials/ideas to get you started, and can be as involved as you want or need, providing helpful advice and feedback along the way. In the end we worked together to produce a very customized ceremony that everyone loved. Our guests were very impressed with his delivery. He also took care of mailing in our marriage license after the wedding! We highly recommend Steven to officiate your ceremony!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I had the great pleasure of helping Steven learn the art of being an officiant. Really though, I mostly only helped with infrastructure. Because the thing about Steven is-- he is so warm, effusive, intuitive, compassionate, and twinkly that he came to the world of weddings pretty much fully equipped to deliver extraordinary ceremonies. Plus, you know, he has that great Scottish accent. I adore this man!
