Candace treated us with so much kindness & respect & she created the most beautiful ceremony for us. The entire wedding was in tears because of how touching the blessing was & I felt like I was in a fairytale. There was not a moment where we did not feel supported by Candace with Woods + The Wild. Whether you know exactly what you what in a wedding or if you need help with all the things, Candace is a miracle worker & can get it done. I am a little more spiritually inclined & my husband is more traditional. She was able to craft a ceremony which was the perfect ‘marriage’ of what we wanted. She also helped me breathe & ground myself right before the wedding. I can’t forget to mention that Candace handled our rehearsal! Our two families met for the first time during rehearsal & Candace broke the ice & helped us warm up to one another. I’m generally very reserved & a bit shy so I definitely appreciated how she could read the room & knew exactly what was needed. I cannot express how grateful we are to be blessed with Candace as our officiant. She will forever be family in our hearts. 10/10

Highly highly recommend Candace as your wedding officiant! We really wanted our ceremony to not feel like an afterthought, and to find someone who wanted to get to know us so that our ceremony would feel custom and special. She absolutely delivered on that! We were worried about finding an officiant that felt authentic to us since we are personally not religious, and we can tell that Candace works thoughtfully with every kind of couple. Our ceremony was such a special way to start our day. We decided to exchange our personal vows privately the morning of our wedding and we were hoping that the ceremony wouldn't feel generic if we weren’t exchanging our personal vows- that was far from the case! I don’t think there was a dry eye in the place. She is so thoughtful, a confident and comfortable public speaker, and has such a warm personality and presence. Many of our family and friends approached us afterwards asking about our officiant and if she knew us from prior! THANK YOU Candace for giving us such a special start to our perfect day!!!

Candace was absolutely amazing! She wrote the most beautiful speech for our wedding. She checked in on us frequently and even gave us some very good tips for the ceremony. We would 100% recommend her services. Thank you, Candace for being amazing and making our day extra special.

From start to finish, working with Candace was such a pleasure. Throughout the process, she was incredibly organized and professional, keeping us up to date and on track with everything we needed for our ceremony. When it came time to figure out what we wanted our ceremony to look like, Candace was thorough in her questions and even helped us incorporate some elements that we hadn't even thought about. As for the ceremony itself, the result was so heartfelt and felt so personal to us and all our guests agreed. We got so many compliments! I wholeheartedly recommend working with Candace. Our wedding wouldn't have been as beautiful without her!

Candace was everything we were looking for when it came to finding an elopement officiant. She was quick to communicate and flexible when it came to the script for the day of the elopement. Even in the rain, she took her job very seriously and we couldn’t have found anyone better suited for the job!

Candace officiated my wedding on 8/2/25 and did such a beautiful job. My husband and I both agree that she was everything we could have wanted in an officiant. We got so many compliments on our ceremony. It was beautiful, emotional and overall just so sweet. She took such great care in getting to know us not only as a couple, but as individuals and crafted that into the ceremony so it truly felt personal. We are eternally grateful for Candace and highly recommend her to anyone who wants a beautiful and meaningful wedding ceremony. -Love, Elliana & Kevin Alaniz

As a couple in our 60s celebrating our second marriages, Candice was a wonderful choice. We opted for a simple elopement. Candice was responsive to what we wanted and created a unique ceremony. She allowed for us to create our own vows and captured them in a spiritual celebration. We couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!

Candace officiated our September 2024 wedding, and we are incredibly grateful we found her! She was thoughtful, easy-going, inclusive, creative and supportive throughout the process. We also did her relationship chaplaincy in the four months leading up to our wedding, and we felt so lucky to get to know Candace better and feel more connected the day of. In our initial search, we were a little nervous about working with someone we didn’t already know, but Candace was truly the perfect fit for us. She made space for all our hopes and concerns, and she made our very small, intercultural wedding feel intentional and authentic. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant!

Candace is a treat to work with. She's communicative, responsive, reliable, professional, and most important, an absolute joy to be around. Candace crafted the perfect ceremony, capturing the essence of our connection with each other and with Colorado. She incorporated all the things that are most important to us. She kept the perfect mix of light & meaningful. It was special to us and we received endless compliments from our guests about the ceremony itself. We chose to do chaplaincy sessions leading up to our wedding, which helped us deepen our relationship and even learn more about ourselves, which helped us understand how to best show up for each other throughout this season of life. We truly felt cared for by Candace, and are so glad she was part of our wedding day.

Candace was very personable and really worked hard to make the ceremony memorable and perfect!! She included everything that we wanted into our ceremony! She is such a warm and vibrant person and can get along with anyone!!
