    Wedding April 20.04.2024 Daniel and Natalja

    If you plan your wedding at Cyprus, I would highly recommend to pick Sunshine Weddings by Charlotte. We just got married April 20.2024 and OMG I must say. Charlotte made it all to be a magical memory. She got us at "hello", from the first message and than calls. She was always there for us, to guide, to support , to advise. She showed us an outstanding professionalism and she is really passionate about what she is doing.
    She never pushed us into anything, or choose things we do not want. We fell in love with Cyprus and we will never forget who made it unforgettable. Thank you Charlotte and her team.

    Hi Natalie! This review is amazing! Unfortunately I think it made it to the wrong business and I don’t want Charlotte and Cyprus to miss this! :)

    A Must Have For Your Wedding

    I learned of Madison's services 2 years ago when my brother-in-law hired her for his wedding. After seeing her in action it was a no-brainer to book her for mine and I am so grateful I did. Madison steps in at just the right time and connects all the dots. After solidifying all of my vendors and venue, Madison takes the lead with coordination and execution. I have no doubt that my wedding ran so smoothly because of her and it made the celebration a memorable night for all. Planning my wedding from afar, a lot of little details were left in the air until we could be on-site. From table sizes being smaller than what was relayed, to redoing the seating chart the day before, and dealing with a difficult vendor for rentals, Madison kept calm and was quick to come up with solutions for everything. Her attention to detail and the importance she puts on organizing and understanding the desired flow from start to finish are exceptional. Thank you for making my special day so beautiful and seamless!

    Absolute life saver

    We were struggling until we found Madison. She lifted so much stress and pressure from our shoulders with her knowledge, insight, flexibility and calm professionalism. She also officiated, and we were so happy with the outcome of collaborating with her on the script for the service, which went perfectly. After the wedding it felt like she was a member of the family. Best decision we made, after the one to get married :).

    Madison was wonderful. She went above and beyond what we expected. She made everyone feel at ease and was incredibly helpful. She was also willing to accommodate last minute changes to the ceremony. Thank you Madison!

    Excellent officiant and coordinator

    Madison officiated and coordinated our wedding. She wrote a beautiful, tailored ceremony and was professional, organized, responsive, and overall on top of everything. It was relief to have her communicate with all the vendors and make sure everything went smoothly on the day. She was lovely to work with and made our lives easier. Highly recommend!

    The absolute best!

    I cannot say enough amazing things about Madison! From the very beginning, her communication was excellent and was quick to respond and get our date secured for our wedding. She was very thorough and accommodating with what we wanted for our ceremony. My husband and I are both very goofy people and we wanted humor to be included in our wedding and she did a phenomenal job writing the ceremony and sent it to us ahead of time to get our approval. I also loved that she was able to send our marriage license after the wedding so I dind’t have to worry about it before we left for our honeymoon! I am so happy we were able to work with Madison for our wedding and she helped make it the happiest day of our lives!

    Worth her weight in GOLD!

    We are in post-wedding bliss and packing for our honeymoon and I can’t focus on anything until I tell the world what an absolute gem Madison is. Part of me wants to gatekeep her but that would be so selfish. Our day was the happiest of our lives and all of my most memorable moments were directly because of Madison. I’m in tears thinking about how special she was and how special she made me feel. She put out fires I didn’t even know were there and made our wedding absolutely wonderful. She is the very best. I am so grateful to her.

    Fantastic officiant

    We had Madison officiate our NYE wedding. We had given her a few details about our relationship when we booked her but since we ordered a custom secular ceremony, she would regularly set up meetings with us to get more information. We were able to review the ceremony and offer suggestions before the wedding. We loved her writing and everyone in our families loved it too. Can't recommend her enough!

    Madison was great!!!

    We couldn't have done it without Madison, due to various circumstances we were coming in hot, and Madison took control and saved the wedding! if we ever do another wedding, we hope that Madison is available, or else we might even change the date so that she is. Thank you Madison!!!

    Wedding Officiant

    Madison was absolutely amazing! She was super thoughtful and made our day and commitment perfect for what we wanted. She perfectly guided the ceremony to incorporate everything we wanted from our religious parents and our more spiritual personal beliefs - everyone loved it. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding!!

    Madison Pinder was Amazing

    We had our wedding just this past weekend (2.20.2022), and Madison Pinder was our Officiant there. Absolutely loved what she wrote for us, and we got a little card with the ceremony vows written to keep! Thank you so much, Madison!!

    Madison is awesome!

    We were looking for an officiant for our small elopement ceremony. I contacted Madison fairly last minute (about a month before our date) and she was able to accommodate us. She did a great job customizing our ceremony and making it very personal and memorable. Madison is very responsive and flexible. She was even willing to accommodate a possible change in ceremony time due to unforeseen weather. I cannot say enough great things about Madison and Sunshine Wedding Officiants! We highly recommend for your special day :)

    Madison was outstanding!!

    Everything about our wedding experience with Madison was above our highest expectations. She took the time to answer all our questions and make us feel comfortable before the ceremony. During the ceremony she spoke clearly, had good eye contact, and showed emotion that conveyed real meaning to her words. We, and our guests, were very impressed.

    Personalized ceremony and excellent communication!

    Our wedding was on a Sunday so the pastors from our church were unable to perform our ceremony. We are so glad we chose Madison as an alternate.

    She had great communication. She sent over a final ceremony draft for us to okay before the rehearsal dinner and worked with us to find a time for the rehearsal to occur. We liked that she brought her own speaker with our songs to the rehearsal because it was outside and it made the songs easier to hear. Everyone felt prepared on the day of.

    Madison worked with us to create our ceremony script and was able to incorporate the biblical passages and quotes I had picked out. She added personalized touches based on our story and cute touches on the day of (she commented on how we are to support each other like when my husband brushed the hair out of my face or I wiped a tear from his). She even stepped put of the way for our first kiss as a couple without us telling her to.

    Madison was exceptional! She was very professional and sweet. We loved that she printed out of ceremony script, made it into a little booklet (which she used on the day of) and allowed us to keep it. We will cherished it for years to come 💕

    Absolutely Amazing!!

    Madison was amazing! She prepared a personal ceremony for our big day; it couldn't have fit us more perfectly. We also had her as our day of coordinator. It helped everything run perfectly. Any details I missed were caught and fixed. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant and coordinator. Absolutely would recommend booking for anyone's big day!

    Made our wedding day the amazing day it was.

    Madison goes the extra mile to help her couples prepare for their big day. As our wedding officiant she took her time to write our vows for us off of information that we gave her, and we loved what she came up with. We not only had her as our officiant but also as our day of coordinator. She was a lifesaver with coordinating a day of time line and making sure it was just the way we wanted it. Madison made sure the DJ and Photographers both had the same time line and finalized all details with them and the other vendors. With our work schedules it was such a help to have someone who helped us finalize everything and stay on top of last minute things. She helped us with everything down to a packing list for the day of so we would not forget anything. The day of she made sure to be there early to know everything was where it should be and helped the day flow by so well. I do not think I can stress enough how much of a lifesaver Madison was to have as a part of our big day. She is so sweet and helpful. Thank you so much for making our day so wonderful Madison !

    Amazing officiant

    Madison did a wonderful job officiating our wedding. Before the wedding, Madison wrote and shared a draft of the script that she would read, which made us feel very comfortable leading up to the wedding. During the big day, Madison arrived early, introduced herself, and perfectly carried out the ceremony. We and our guests were blown away by her demeanor. After the wedding, she gave us a special copy of the script she had written and handled the mailing of our marriage certificate so we could enjoy our honeymoon. Thank you so much for helping make our day special!

    Wonderful personalized ceremony

    Madison was a joy to work with. She put in a lot of effort to get to know us and ensured that our ceremony was not only to our taste, but was very personal. She also helped to wrangle our bridal party at the rehearsal (which was likely akin to herding cats) and mailed our license for us, so we could enjoy our honeymoon without worry.

    The key member of our dream team

    We had the pleasure of working with Madison as our wedding officiant and as the day-of-coordinator for a small wedding in Gainesville, FL and she knocked both roles out of the park. Madison is sweet and super easy to work with. She is very responsive to your needs and concerns. She takes the time to know the couple and works hard to craft the ceremony to fit the special qualities that define your love for each other. The vows she wrote for us were better than anything we could have dream of.

    As a day of coordinator, Madison managed all of the moving pieces and worked hard to make sure everything was running as smooth as possible in all phases of the ceremony and reception: photography, food, DJ...etc.

    We cannot recommend Madison enough!

    Great experience!

    My husband and I got eloped in Saint Augustine, Florida. Madison was great to work with. She is easy to contact and replies quickly. Our vows that she wrote for us turned out amazing and so personalized! She even stepped aside for our first kiss without us asking, allowing for gorgeous photos. I know that’s odd to put into a review, but that goes to show how thoughtful she is and how much effort she puts into each ceremony.
