A WEDDING WORTH REMEMBERING

Every wedding is unique and every couple's needs are different. I seek to personalize and customize each wedding to reflect these individualized needs.

It is important to meet with couples to not only ensure that they are comfortable but also to understand their needs for their wedding ceremony.

I provide free consultation with Bride & Groom
*A personalized ceremony that includes your story and other elements that will customize your ceremony.
*Working closely with Bride & Groom -providing unlimited ceremony revisions until satisfied.
*Officiating your ceremony - signing and filing of marriage license . (We mail or deliver to courthouse)
*Rehearsal Coordination - I will walk you through and provide options for your consideration if requested.
*Arrive with plenty of time before your ceremony to fully coordinate. I will make announcements to guests afterwards and I will help you and your wedding party transition into your reception.

Weddings aren’t repeated often and a once-in-a-lifetime event deserves some special planning and a special treatment

If you are thinking of a courthouse wedding or an elopement - I am generally available to provide marriage services within 24 hours

Susie did a great job with our ceremony! She was wonderful with answering questions via message or in person. We loved that she really made it a personal ceremony, so it wasn't just like every other one that has been done. We picked readings we really enjoyed, and she made sure they fit with the ceremony perfectly. All of our guests were commenting on how beautiful it was! Thank you again Susie!!

We wanted a wedding that was short and sweet with very little speaking for the bride and groom. She did exactly what we asked her to do, and for a very reasonable price!

Susie West was amazing! We had switched to her after we had chosen another officiant because she is a family friend and we are glad we did. She was very flexible and able to sit down with us and help us plan our wedding ceremony. Throughout the next month or so, she frequently sent emails giving us suggestions or letting us know how things were coming along. Two days before the wedding, Susie made a special trip to check out the ceremony space and talk to the event coordinator so she was able to tell us how things were going to happen- This was extremely helpful! She sat down with us at our rehearsal dinner and went through everything with us and then coordinated the rehearsal with the entire wedding party. Susie was extremely supportive for us during the planning and the actually ceremony. We really appreciate all that she did for us to make our wedding so special and we wish her the best with her journey :)

So professional and sweet

Susie was always so prompt and quick with any text or call I sent up till the day of the wedding. She arrived early and walked both parties through how it would all go and what to do. We had dogs running around nothing seemed to bother her or throw her off at all. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an awesome ordained minister 💖

Susie officiated our wedding. She wrote a beautiful ceremony and had great ideas on readings. She was very easy to work with and listened to who we are as a couple. It was perfect!!!

Susie was amazing to work with! She gave us a very personal and meaningful ceremony that was tailored to me and my husband. I am so glad I chose her to be our officiant and would recommend her to anyone!

irresponsible and unprofessional

brought up divorce 3 times in our ceremony. tried to shoehorn in a reading from Matthews even though i specifically requested NO RELIGION. didn't reach out to us for months after initial deposit was made (1/2 total cost) and couldn't remember our married name at either rehearsal dinner or DURING CEREMONY. started ceremony 5 minutes early without asking anyone, causing some chaos. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND made our guests cringe

She forgot our wedding!

We talked to her the Monday before the wedding. She said she'd be there Sunday. Sunday came, wedding at 2pm. At 130pm we call. She says she forgot, had wrong month, yet her calender book, later viewed had us there. My bride was in tears fir hours. Wedding guests waited 2 hrs. We are first at that point, when she finally shows up the service was a joke. We chose a religious ceremony but what we git didn't mention God even once. Our day was ruined by this unprofessional person. DO NOT TRUST THEM!!!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
