    Just Perfect

    Dottie was wonderful!! She was very flexible and able to come to our home. Without giving her much info she performed exactly the ceremony we wanted! She is warm and caring and makes you feel at ease. Definitely would recommend her to anyone who wants excellence on their special day 💕

    Wonderful ceremony

    I was so glad I found Dottie here. She was amazing. I was looking for somebody that was caring and professional. Dottie was more than that. She was really patient, she was with me before ceremony to make sure I was relaxed. I got such a great vibe from her since the first time i spoke to her.

    Joyful and Positive Energy

    When my husband and I first spoke to Dottie, we immediately knew that she was the perfect person to be the officiant for our wedding. Her positive demeanor, hilarious personality, and the way she meshed into our lives so seamlessly showed us how perfect she was to be our officiant. She was communicative, patient, and supportive throughout the whole process. And our ceremony was beyond perfect!! She tailored the ceremony to who we are as a couple and individuals making it a special ceremony to be a part of. Dottie will forever be a special part of our lives.

    Amazing and sweet Officiant :)

    Dottie was very sweet, kind, and helpful! We are very happy and thankful that we found her here and picked her to officiate for our wedding :). We loved how she went above and beyond to make sure we were more than happy with our ceremony script and even did our handfasting for us! We highly recommend her to any couple looking for a down to earth officiant who will truly care about your wedding :). We both can tell how much she loves officiating and how much passion she has for what does. Thank you so much Dottie! - Nick & Jenny Youker :)

    The best officiant!!

    Dottie was approachable, professional and versatile. She provided helpful tips and advice along the way and was always prompt to reply to our questions. She helped guide us through different options and ideas and really put together such a beautiful ceremony for us. She is so knowledgable of the marriage license process and was quick to turn it in to the county office after our wedding. If you want to work with someone that offers an array of helpful guidance, is responsive and becomes a friend, Dottie is your person!

    Incredible

    Dorothy is a great wedding officiant. We had a small and private ceremony at home because the court house was under construction, we had no idea who to hire to perform our marriage, and the lady from the court house gave us the information of different officiants but non of them were as caring, sweet and professional as Dorothy were. We are so grateful she was available for our special day, she totally made the day very special and since the first phone call I had with her, I knew that we would have a great experience. If you decide to hire her you won't regret it.
    Thank you so much Dorothy. ❤

    The most amazing Officiant

    Dotty is the best person I could of asked for to marry my husband and I on out wedding day. From the first time I talked to dotty we clicked and it was like I’ve been part of her family for years. She provided so much support and love through our whole wedding planning plus rehearsal and ceremony. I love this lady with all my heart and I have only her for about a year. She is very thorough and will answer all questions. She has been doing this for a long time and great at what she does. The day of my wedding I was nervous but once she got there I knew I was in good hands. She truly is the best and I can’t wait for her to help renew my husband and I vows in a few years. Love you dotty don’t ever change you are the best and I’m so glad we picked you!!!❤️

    Love her already!

    I had a one hour consolation with her over the phone and I already love her. She has a great vision for what I’m asking for which is not traditional at all, she is open minded and knowledgeable. I really didn’t want to spend so much for an officiant, but also didn’t want the anxiety just thinking about doing it all myself . With her reassurance on all that she has to offer and her professionalism I’m back on board with spending the money. Definitely would recommend her.

    I don't know what we would have done without her wealth of knowledge and expertise

    From our very first contact to the end of the wedding day I felt my stress fade away as she imparted her wealth of knowledge onto us. She's also has an energy about her that really turns your enthusiasm into overdrive. I really can't recommend her enough.

    Beautiful Person, Beautiful Ceremony

    Dottie is an exceptional officiant who eminates good energy. It is very obvious from your first meeting with her that her experience will make your ceremony unique and cohesive. She takes her time to get to know the couple so that the ceremony feels genuine and special. If you're feeling nervous about the ceremony or even just unexcited about the process, know that she will calm your nerves and make you look forward to it. She is a dependable vendor and a kind person , and your guests will notice.

    Couldn’t be happier!

    Dottie was a DREAM to work with for our small, intimate wedding in Northern California! We contacted Dottie only 2 weeks before our wedding, and luckily she agreed to take on our ceremony and did a fantastic job! From our first phone call, she helped put us at ease as she attentively asked about our love story, our values, and what we hoped for our wedding. Dottie was very organized in how she walked us through the ceremony-writing process over our multiple phone calls and emails, and she offered the perfect balance of providing us with enough guidance and structure with many ideas and examples to choose from, but also giving us the freedom to craft something that felt completely our own. She was instrumental in helping us create a perfect ceremony that felt uniquely and totally right for us. She was also a wonderfully grounding and collected presence in the jitters and excitement of the days leading up to the ceremony. After the ceremony, so many of our guests commented on how beautiful it was and how it fit us as a couple perfectly. Dottie was also prompt and accurate with all of the wedding licensing, which we really appreciated! If you’re looking for somebody who can do a personal and heartwarming ceremony, but is also relaxed and flexible, we would definitely recommend Dottie without hesitation! We would love to have her officiate any ceremony for us again in the future.

    She is really professional and truly helped make the day special. The original minister that I was going to use had a death in the family and couldn't make it. She understood and we were able to put something quick but also was meaning full to me and my husband together. She helped with calming my nerves and she helped reassure me that everything went perfectly, which in the end it did. I would recommend her to anyone for there special day.

    Perfect ceremony officiant

    Dorothy was super sweet to talk to. I had alot of anxiety and was really unsure of what even wanted. One phone call, eased all of my anxiety. She was available and affordable when we needed her. The ceremony was beautiful and perfect for us. I truly would recommend 10/10. I can never thank her enough.

    Simply the Best Experience ever!

    Dot is, hands down, the best Officiant both on this website and on the West Coast. She is extremely personable and kind. Our own friends and family believed that we had both met her when we where younger because of the thoughtful touch she added to our vows. BRIDES, choose Dot if you want the dream ceremony that you have dreamed of without the loads of extra work to make it happen. She has a great approach to making your ceremony both elegant and fluid. I honestly couldn't imagine what our ceremony would have been without her. We had no idea how important it was to find particular details that made it OUR wedding rather then just-another-wedding. Look no futher, Dot is absolutely your best choice.

    Not only did she take her time and put a lot of thought into this, but she went above and beyond. The vows were absolutely beautiful I wouldn’t of changed anything that she said and the amount of generosity and humbleness that this lady holds is out of this world. She let us feel as though we were the center of the world but also made us feel so comfortable and warm. I couldn’t have imagined this day being done by any other person. Thank you for making it so special!!
