Rev. Trudy was a pleasure to work with! She was very responsive throughout the whole process and took the time to incorporate each of our personalities into the ceremony. Our family was very impressed with the ceremony and also thought Rev. Trudy was wonderful!

Reverend Trudy is amazing! She is a such a sweet person and I would recommend her to anyone. She was not rushed at all, she took her time with us and made us feel super comfortable. Our wedding was everything we wanted it to be. <3 <3

I was so grateful for Reverend Trudy. She answered all of my questions and made the whole process WAY less stressful. She helped us with our vows and as I was saying mine I was brought to tears at how beautiful and touching it was. She really listened to what I told her. About a week before we were to wed I told her a few things about us and she incorporated it in our vows! I LOVED having her as my officiant! You won't be disappointed!

Trudy was so much more than my new husband and I had hoped for. She was exceptional as our officiant, not only reciting her wedding passages (I especially loved the verse about what a wedding ring means) and our vows, but in the kind and passionate way that she mingled with our guests. She was punctual, friendly and very well spoken and, if that wasn't enough, Trudy even gave us a copy of our vows to keep. We would highly recommend her.

My husband and I were Married on yesterday, it was a incredible experience. The Reverend made me feel so comfortable, her communication up until the wedding was very helpful and reassuring on such short notice, very caring and professional. The cost was so affordable and I thank her for such a rewarding experience.
