A very charming and sweet ceremony

Meb was very professional and did a great job with our ceremony. I’m very type A and she handled me graciously and was always quick to reply. The ceremony was beautiful and charming and everyone loved it.

Meb From Wows & Vows Created Our Perfect Ceremony

Meb from Wows & Vows personalized our ceremony to us and our story as a couple. She's easy to talk to and we enjoyed the pre-marital counseling sessions we booked with her. She did need to reschedule a few of our sessions, but she was always quick to find a different time that worked for us. The ceremony she put together was truly one of a kind. She had us fill out a questionnaire that she then used as material in the ceremony. She's truly a professional at what she does and we're so happy she was a part of our day!

Perfect Ceremony

Nancy Goulet officiated our ceremony and it was a truly magical experience. She met with us over coffee in advance to hammer down the details and even managed to wrangle all 14 members of the wedding party to run the ceremony rehearsal (despite their best efforts to let chaos reign)! She nailed the "us" feel we wanted from our ceremony and our guests cold not stop raving about how wonderful it was, including, "literally my favorite of all time," "it made me cry and laugh—and I'm a pretty stoic guy," "it was perfect," and "the comedic timing was just *chef's kiss*". Thank you, Nancy, for kicking off our wedding with a bang! We only regret we weren't able to share dinner and drinks with you.

AMAZING experience!!!!

Meb is Amazing!! Our ceremony was so beautiful, Choosing Wows and Vows was the best decision we made. From the very first meeting with Meb we walked away know she understood exactly what we were looking for them went steps above that. A wedding can be hard work and Wows and Vows made it so simple, I don’t think we will ever run out of amazing things to say about Meb and her team! Thank You Wows and Vows!!

Meb truly cares about you and your ceremony

I can't say enough good things about Meb. From the very beginning we knew she was the one and was going to make our ceremony personalized and special. We started premarital counseling with Meb before our original wedding date in 2020 and she was delved into our family histories, personalities, love languages, and more. She was so easy to open up to. I laughed, cried, and learned so much during those sessions. She was so helpful in building our ceremony to fit us. Meb is the lead pastor at a Methodist church and she was willing to include any level of religion and spirituality that we wanted. She said a special prayer for us during our ceremony but that was optional if you want something more secular instead. She sent us a questionnaire about our life together and how we met and she told our love story during the ceremony. I have gotten so many compliments on how interesting and touching the ceremony was. But the one thing that really tells you just how good Meb is...my Catholic grandma wants to attend one of Meb's church services she was so smitten with her! Now that's a compliment!
She also worked in a prayer for my grandmother who was in an accident the day of the wedding which really touched my heart. Meb truly cares.

Absolutely wonderful

We chose Meb to be the officiant for our wedding that was originally scheduled for July of 2020, unfortunately Covid caused us to have to push back our plans to 2021. Meb was extremely gracious and agreed to officiate our rescheduled wedding despite already having another wedding scheduled the same day.
She pulled double duty with both the rehearsal and ceremony, but you would never have known by the finely detailed touches.

She made our day so special by crafting the story of our love into our ceremony. We had so many friends and family members comment how wonderful the ceremony was and what an amazing job Meb did.

I would also highly recommend the pre-marital counseling she offers for couples. The sessions with with her taught us new things about each other and ways to communicate and show appreciation towards one another. It has absolutely strengthened our relationship in ways I never could have imagined.

passionate about her job

We had Nancy Goulet as our officiant. We had a hard time finding one, but came across her and we are so happy we did! We met with her before the wedding to get almost everything figured out. She had us fill our multiple questionnaires, about what kind of ceremony we wanted, questions about each other that we didn't know the others answers that she integrated into the ceremony on wedding day, etc. She gave us many examples of different options for readings, blessing of the hands, rituals, etc. So many of our guests loved her! You can tell in almost every picture and in our wedding video that she truly loved her job of marrying people and being there to experience the love! 5/5 would recommend! She was very flexible with times and dates to meet, and very responsive with emails, texts, and phone calls.

Lots of experience, makes ceremony planning easy

Meb officiated our ‘socially distanced’ Wedding on 5/2/2020. Before, we had different plans for a bigger wedding. Meb was so flexible to change plans one week before. She met with us several times and gave us lots of ideas to make sure our ceremony was everything we wanted. We wanted 1 prayer but we wanted the rest of the ceremony to be lighthearted, simple, and short. Meb did just that! She is very entertaining and experienced. The whole thing has beer very fun.

Perfect wedding day

My husband and I were married by Meb 5/30/2020 and every part of our ceremony was perfect! We only had a short time to plan our wedding but were able to meet virtually with Meb and she put together a personalized ceremony that we will always remember. We are so lucky that she was willing to be part of our day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
