Absolutely outstanding! We wanted a simple backyard wedding with friends and family. Bill listened to what we were looking for and the ceremony turned far better than we could have hoped for.

Bill was fantastic as an officiant for our untraditional wedding! He was always reachable and very prompt. He was very pleasurable to speak with, and was so friendly to my family and friends during my ceremony. Bill was so accomodating for our location choice and was very flexible in scheduling. We greatly appreciate his services for this special time in our lives! Thank you so much Bill!

Pamela is the absolute best wedding officiant. She went out of her way to make sure we had the ceremony we wanted. She even came to the house to help us design the perfect ceremony. By the time our wedding day came we felt as if Pamela and her husband were family. I also suggest her husband, Bill, for ceremony music. They are just an amazing couple and will do whatever they have to to make sure you have the perfect day!

Pam brings to a wedding a unique and very special blend of personal gifts that she is happy and excited to share with couples in love. She is not just an "officiant" by title, she is an officiant by calling in my eyes. She worked with us to provide exactly what we wanted and tailored the ceremony according to our wishes while at the same time adding her own surprisingly perfect touches. It was an amazing day and Pam was a huge part of that.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
