Devin K. Sent on 08/11/2023We Couldn't Have Asked for a Better Officiant!
My wife and I cannot thank Dr. Stephan J Smith enough for officiating our wedding. He was everything we could have hoped for and more. Dr. Smith was professional, friendly, and easy to work with. He was more than willing to accommodate any of our requests, helping us create the perfect ceremony. He also helped us in ways we didn't expect by sharing anecdotes and giving advice on the many small details of our wedding that we had not even considered. His experience and knowledge was exceptional!
Our guests raved about the ceremony, and many of them commented on how Dr. Smith did a wonderful job. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant to help us celebrate our love. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding officiant who is professional, experienced, and passionate about helping couples create their dream ceremony.

Robert I. Sent on 09/26/2023Dr. Smith was amazing from our first meeting to our wedding day. He helped make our special day all the more magical!
We can’t say enough good things about Dr. Smith! He was right there for us from our first meeting through our wedding day. He made the entire experience stress free and guided us through everything from writing our wedding vows to getting our marriage license. Dr. Smith has a calming personality and a great sense of humor, our entire family and all of our friends loved him! When we were putting together our wedding vows he helped us every step of the way, finding the right passages and words that expressed exactly how we felt. It was perfect! He even presented us with a book of our vows at the ceremony that we will always treasure. We can’t recommend him enough, thanks Dr. Smith for everything!

He is very friendly. Understanding and just plain awesome. I highly recommend him to anyone. The detail he put in, and the way he understood I was very nervous and helped calm my nerves was awesome. I can not say how amazing he was and so glad we chose him to marry us!Dr. Stephan J. Smith's reply:
Thank you Angela!
I try to be the calming force in the ceremonies I perform, since I know people are nervous. I enjoy what I do and it was my pleasure to be a part of your big day!

Anastasia L. Sent on 07/05/2023Perfectly Personalized Ceremony
We are very happy with our choice of Dr Smith as our wedding officiant on June 17, 2023. From our very first meeting, Dr Smith had a confident and calming presence. Dr Smith was always quick to answer my many questions and able to use his experience to give guidance where requested. We were especially excited that he used his notes from our meeting and discussion of example ceremonies to create a ceremony and vows that were perfect for our relationship.Dr. Stephan J. Smith's reply:
Thank you Ana! I try to make it about the couple's experience. I'm always open to things that enhance the ceremony because I want your wedding to reflect your personalities and style! I wish you both the very best in your life together as husband and wife :)

Absolutely incredible vendor!!!
Stephan Smith was an incredible officiant. Although my husband and I wanted a simple and quick under 15-minute ceremony, Stephan was still able to make it personable and memorable. He is such a kind human that instantly fit right into our day as if we had known him forever. We initially met months before our wedding and he remembered every little detail, never missing a beat. I could not recommend him enough to be an amazing addition to your special day.

Thank you for the kind words Jessica. I thoroughly enjoyed being your officiant and I also loved the venue you chose. It was rustic and fun and I loved the idea of using food trucks as your reception food...they were incredible! I wish you both the very best in your lives together as husband and wife!

Wedding Officiant
Dr. Smith was an amazing officiant for our wedding on 9/17/22 and we are so glad that we choose him! He was great at communicating with us prior to the wedding and helped us to put together a great ceremony that had everything that we wanted. He also had a script prepared in advance so that we could review and make any changes and he listened to the requests that we made. At the rehersal he was very organized, friendly, great at walking everyone through the process, and helped make Anthony and I feel comfortable before the big day. He worked great with our DJ and the wedding ceremony was everything that we dreamed of! We heard many compliments about him from our guests as well. We highly recommend choosing Dr. Smith as your officiant too!Dr. Stephan J. Smith's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words. Being a part of your big day was a pleasure and meeting your families was a treat. They were all so excited for the two of you and I, too, wish you both every happiness for your bright future together!

Future couples, look no further!
I have no other words for Stephen other than amazing.
He made our ceremony so special and personal that I had guests ask if he was a family friend.
Stephen is a true professional and walks you through the entire process which puts your mind at ease.
He’s great at communicating leading up to the day of your wedding and makes the whole process feel effortless. We are so grateful to have found Stephen.
Thanks again,

Laura H. Sent on 07/28/2022Dr. Smith was a professional, warm and welcoming Wedding Officiant for our Big Day!
We hired Dr. Smith for our Wedding Officiant and were blown away by his professionalism and his help with creating our dream ceremony! Dr. Smith was very responsive throughout the months and days leading up to our wedding. My husband and I had a general idea for the type of ceremony we wanted, and based off our general idea, Dr. Smith sent us a few past Ceremony Scripts he has written. Then we were able to use his ideas and our own to make our unique Ceremony script that fit us as a couple! Dr. Smith was very helpful with crafting our dream ceremony and gave pointers and editing tips in order to get our ceremony to the desired length and the vibe we were envisioning. Dr. Smith was kind, professional, warm and welcoming as our Wedding Officiant and we could not have been happier to have him be part of our Special Day and marry us! We couldn't recommend Dr. Smith enough!Dr. Stephan J. Smith's reply:
Thank you Laura! I had so much fun getting to know you and Daniel and your families. You farm setting was amazing and beautiful and the two of you looked fantastic. I wish you many years of peace, love and happiness!

Professional, timely and kind
I would have not thought my ceremony to be my favorite part of our big day! Dr. Smith strived to make our ceremony prompt about US and even offered ideas that I did not think of but loved! There was not a dry eye in the crowd but yet there were many laughs too. Dr. Smith is professional, timely, and genuinely cares about you loving your ceremony, as you should! Also, I am definitely not an expert on the legal process to which he definitely explained it in a way I can understand. I would recommend him over again!Dr. Stephan J. Smith's reply:
Thank you Marina for your kind words. I love officiating weddings, so it's easy for me to help make a couples' ceremony everything they hoped for! I wish you both all the best in your future together.
Best wishes,

Leah and Eric,
What a pleasure it was to be involved in your wedding! The two of you looked so happy and the setting for the ceremony was gorgeous. I see a lot of wedding photos, and yours were among the most beautiful I've seen recently. I wish you both the very best in your future together!
