Down to Every Detail

Letting someone else into your life and sharing your story can be very scary, but truly you'd be in no better hands than Steven. Every detail my husband and I gave him made it into our ceremony and we wouldn't change a thing. Anytime we had a question it was handled quickly and with care, truly cannot recommend Steven enough

Great Care and Attention

Steve did a great job with our ceremony. He took the time to meet with us multiple times, including together and apart, to get a real sense of who we were as a couple. He was able to then create a ceremony that celebrated us as a couple and hit all the right notes. As a couple that got married shortly after COVID, he was able to do a great job introducing us as a pair to a lot of friends and family, some of whom were just seeing us as a couple for the first time. Would highly recommend Steve for couples who want a lot of thought and care put into their ceremony!

The ceremony of your dreams

VaVow Ceremonies came to be when I first asked Steve to be my officiant. I knew he hadn't done it before, but I had full confidence that he could do it wonderfully, and boy did he exceed expectations. So much so that some of my wedding guests, complete strangers to him, asked him to marry their friends or family members. That was almost 15 years ago. Since then he has continued to bring creativity, thought and tremendous care into the ceremonies of couple after couple.

Steven and I were friends, but there was much for him to learn about my relationship. He took the time to understand our unique journey and the dreams we held for our ceremony. Whether it was video calls or in-person meetings, his communication was clear and consistent, leaving us confident and excited for the big day.

The ceremony itself was nothing short of magical. Steve wove our story with such eloquence and humor, even incorporating details about the historic venue that added a special touch. We were touched by the way he included personal anecdotes without feeling scripted, and several guests even commented on how heartfelt and personalized the ceremony felt.

Steve's ability to connect with everyone present was truly remarkable. He managed to seamlessly weave in stories about our families and bridal party, adding an extra layer of intimacy and making the ceremony resonate with everyone there.

For us, incorporating some meaningful traditions from our backgrounds was important. Steven embraced this aspect wholeheartedly, taking the initiative to research and understand their significance. He ensured they were incorporated in a respectful and authentic way, making the ceremony a true reflection of our blended heritage.

Throughout the entire process, Steve was a calming and supportive presence. He was always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and put our minds at ease. His passion for creating personalized ceremonies that honor each couple's love story truly shines through.

If you're looking for an officiant who goes above and beyond to create a ceremony that is heartfelt, meaningful, and reflects the essence of your love story, look no further than Steve. He made our wedding ceremony an unforgettable experience, and we'll be forever grateful for his dedication and expertise.
