Amazing officiant for your wedding!

Norman is amazing! He officiated my wedding on April 5th and did a phenomenal job! Our family and guests raved about his storytelling ability and unique way to make people laugh.

Some wedding ceremonies are long, drawn out and boring but not with Norman. He kept our ceremony lowkey, enjoyable and fun! I can’t recommend Norman highly enough! Book him now! You’ll be so happy you did!

Thanks for everything Norman!

Outstanding Officiant crafted a perfect ceremony!

Norman was an absolute professional and a pleasure to work with! His unique style of crafting a personal narrative of our story for the ceremony had our entire family in tears. He was attentive in the months leading up to the wedding and willing to accommodate any and all requests made of him. The ceremony itself was the perfect combination of romance, humor, and love.

If you are looking for a unique and memorable wedding ceremony, look no further! Norman will give you and your fiance the time and attention you need to feel comfortable and confident that your wedding day will be nothing short of perfect!

Great Interfaith Ceremony!

We chose Norman to officiate our wedding and couldn’t be happier with how things turned out. My wife and I are an interfaith couple (Christian / Jewish) so we were up front with Norman about wanting to incorporate traditions from both religions from the start. There were no issues and Norman was happy to accommodate things that were important to us. For many parts of the ceremony he has a few “scripts” for us to choose from which was a big help when you’re already making dozens of decisions for other parts of the wedding planning process. Norman had us fill out a questionnaire in order to learn more about us as a couple, including how we met, what we love about each other, some funny stories, etc. All of this info ended up going into a “story” Norman read at our ceremony. He did a really great job and had the crowd laughing and “awwing” throughout. We never met Norman in person until the rehearsal, but I’m sure a few people at the ceremony probably thought he knew us as a couple for some time!

All in all, I would recommend Norman. He was easy to work with and happy to accommodate any odd requests you may have to make your ceremony just the way you want it.

Not only were we (the bride and groom) satisfied, everyone at our small wedding was impressed how well our very short notice wedding went.

We are so grateful to have had such a wonderful experience! Mr. Conner was great and everyone at the wedding thought we knew him prior because he is so kind and personable. We recommend his services to anyone who is looking to get married.

Norman was the PERFECT officiant!

Norman was the perfect wedding officiant for me and my husband! Absolutely hire Norman!!!!! We are so fortunate to have worked with him! He had so many recommendations for us and helped us create such a personalized and meaningful ceremony that we will cherish forever! Our friends and family gave us so many compliments about how beautiful and unique our ceremony was! He not only got to know us super well but he reached out to our friends to gather their input on us a couple to incorporate into our “story” too for our ceremony. He had such creative ideas and he definitely went above and beyond our expectations! He was so easy and reliable to contact via phone, email and text. He also coordinated his day-of attire with our wedding party, arrived early and executed speaking during the ceremony so perfectly with his tone, volume and cadence which not all officiants pay attention to. We cannot say enough good things about Norman! He is so kind and will work with all couples no matter their beliefs or background. We appreciate him so much!

We couldn't be happier with Norman!

• Norman did a phenomenal job officiating our wedding. We couldn't be happier with it. Since we are military and our families don't live here one of our main qualities we were looking for in an officiant was someone who could make us feel comfortable and for the ceremony to not feel like a stranger was preforming it. The first time we met him we already felt like we knew him for years. His questionnaire he has his couples fill out really helps him achieve this. He uses it to create a personalized ceremony which made our ceremony so special and meaningful. Our ceremony was perfect. He captured our love story perfectly and it flowed very nicely. He listened to what we wanted and didn't want in the ceremony. He traveled quite a distance as well for the ceremony which we really appreciated. We would 100% recommend Norman to be apart of anyone's special day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
