AMAZING! Hire her!!
Julie was absolutely fantastic! Although the wedding was outside and bitter cold, she took her time and made us feel on top of the world. She did not rush us, and took fabulous photos as well! It was fun, sweet and the perfect memory for years to come!

Hire this angel
Julie is amazing. She is organized, professional, friendly, and kind. We knew immediately she was the one for us! She has so many options and ideas to make your ceremony unique and customized perfectly to your vision. She was available to talk and plan in the months leading up to the wedding, and she was a calming presence right before and during the ceremony. She made everything so easy and special and fun. She even saved the bride (me) from a makeup disaster by sharing her makeup bag right before the ceremony! I can't say enough good things about Julie so I will end with this: hire this angel. You won't regret it.

Choosing an officiant for your wedding used to be easy...there was no choice, you simply had whoever your church or synagogue assigned to you. Today's couples have the opportunity to plan every aspect of their ceremonies, making them truly personal.
