Absolutely Beautiful and Personal Wedding Ceremony

I am so happy that we chose Reverend Linda to be the person to officially marry my husband and I. We live in Houston, but were planning to get married in Austin, so we looked online to find ideas for officiants. We came across Rev. Linda and had a phone call with her to see if she would be a good fit. I knew immediately that she was the person we wanted to marry us. She has such a warm and loving demeanor, and I could just tell that she loves being a part of people’s most precious day. She really put in effort to get to know us as a couple and to understand what we were looking for in our wedding ceremony. She wrote an absolutely beautiful ceremony for us and was open to any and all feedback we had in how to tweak it to make it just right for us. We chose to write our own vows, but Rev. Linda offered to review them for us to make sure we were on the same page with tone, length, etc. The ceremony turned out absolutely perfect! It was a perfect mix of serious, funny, romantic, and emotional. Rev. Linda was awesome at controlling the flow of the ceremony and “ad libbing” when needed if anything unexpected popped up (like the lapel mic not working, and her quickly making eye contact with the DJ to switch to the handheld mic). She was truly a professional and was able to execute the ceremony without missing a beat. Throughout the night we had guests coming up to compliment us on how it was one of the most personal and beautiful wedding ceremonies they had ever been to. I am so happy that we chose Rev. Linda to be a part of our wedding day and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a beautiful and personalized wedding ceremony.

Making Ceremonies Seamless and Special

As a wedding venue owner, I’ve worked with many officiants, and Rev. Linda is truly exceptional. She is professional, warm, and incredibly thoughtful in every ceremony. Couples love how personalized and meaningful their experience is, and we always appreciate how smoothly things run when she is involved. A true pleasure to work with and someone we’re always happy to recommend.

Absolute MUST!

What an incredible pleasure it was to work with Rev. Linda at a recent wedding! She is an incredibly lovely person, and her ceremonies even lovelier! Communication with her was easy, clear, and prompt. She is extremely professional and as equally personable. The ceremony she performed was sweet, authentic, and truly captured the couple's heart and vision. Everyone was pleased - the guests were filled with laughter and tears of sentiment and joy. Highly Recommend!

She made our day perfect!

One year later and I still have guests talking about what a lovely job Linda did. She was so easy to work with and guides and easy tools to help get the messaging that we wanted - we didn't want it religious, we just wanted it full of love and tell our story. She made it magic. I couldn't imagine having any one else.

Linda is the best!

Linda was beyond anything we could ask for in an officiant. She was immediately so comfortable and friendly with us when we first met her for coffee so she could get to know us. She was quick and efficient with writing our ceremony script and I loved that we could read it first and give feedback and edits. When the pandemic hit, she was flexible and supportive. Then, when we finally were able to hold the wedding, she was a calming and competent presence. We loved her, our wedding party loved her, the families loved her. I truly cannot say enough good things about her and highly recommend that any couple in the greater Austin area hire her for their wedding.

Truly grateful

Was really our saving grace on the big day. We didn't have a planner and we didn't really rehearse the timing or anything. She hoped it and took charge and made sure everyone was were they should be. We had a beautiful ceremony done in Spanish and English. Very accommodating and we are truly grateful for her services.

Best wedding officiant

Me and Susie were married about 4 months ago and every time I look back and think about our ceremony it still warms my heart and fills me with so much happiness. Rev. Linda conveyed our story with so much emotions it touched all of our friends and family- probably our vendors too. It was true and full of love. Some asked us if we've known Rev. Linda for a long time. They were amazed of how beautiful the wedding was and how they laughed and cried. We had multiple meetings with her. We're about 5 hours away from Austin so we had to do video calls but it was really easy. She's really friendly, easy to talk to, and respectful with the traditions that we'd want to incorporate. She gave us an e-book as a resource, which helped us tremendously. She helped us with our own vows too. She's timely, easy to reach, and professional. She's diverse- she was knowledgeable of our traditions and culture. I highly recommend Rev. Linda, if we'll renew our vow, we'll for sure choose her again.

Perfect for Bilingual Ceremony

Rev. Linda did an amazing job. We meet with her in person to share our ideas for the ceremony and our love story. From that meeting, Linda created the perfect ceremony transcript. We got to review it and give feedback before the ceremony. She was able to incorporate all our ideas while keeping the bilingual ceremony personal, sweet and short.

The day of the ceremony, she showed up early and checked in to make sure we had all that we needed to get started on time. She quickly became/acted like a member of the family by making herself available to help in any way. Linda went above and beyond my expectations. I would definitely recommend her as an officiant for any ceremony.

After the ceremony, she stayed back and took a couple of pictures with us. She mailed our marriage license for us and emailed tips on name change. Linda definitely made the entire process less stressful and was extremely helpful with everything.

We received nothing but great compliments of the ceremony, the guest thought she was a long time friend because she made the ceremony personal. You can tell she truly cares and is a genuine and caring person.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
