Bill is a Keeper!!

Go, Bill, Go, Bill! My husband and I would recommend Bill to anyone looking for an officiant that is flexible, attentive, and so much fun to work with! He was always quick to communicate with us and when I had any typical bride-worries, he assured me that he would do his very best to ensure the ceremony went smoothly…and he did exactly that! When we discussed our vows, Bill gave us many wonderful ideas to chose from and also then let us tweak one of his ideas to be exactly what we wanted! Thank you for all you did to make our day just right!!

From the beginning of our planning, Bill was very helpful and accommodating to what we had envisioned for our wedding! He made the process so smooth and stress-free despite us being all over the place in the days leading up to the wedding. We are so grateful for his flexibility and professionalism throughout the whole process! Our family and friends loved him and we are certainly grateful for him being a part of the most important part of our day!
