    Wonderful and professional experience

    We both had such a great experience with Conrad as our wedding officiant. He was very responsive throughout the entire process. He put in a lot of effort to get to know both of us during the planning process. We had meetings (both virtually and in person) to help perfectly plan our ceremony. He had us laughing through the ceremony as well as making it feel very special. He knew us so well that some of our guests had assumed he was a close family friend. We very highly recommend Conrad as a wedding officiant.

    Listens to the couples to allow ceremony to be personalized

    Conrad is amazing! He listened to us and was so personable. He created the family oriented ceremony of our dreams. All of the guests thought that we had known him for a long time. He’s just so personable and sweet.

    Drawbridge Lane Weddings's reply:

    Angi! Thank you so much for your kind words.
    You both started telling me your story right away and I did listen. You both just seemed to "fit" so well together.
    If I am nothing, I am "sweet". This is my first "sweet" review and I love it! I try to reflect my couple's personalities and their story. So perhaps the sweetness was your reflection.
    Love and Happiness to you both. Conrad

    Conrad really understood our "story".

    We could not be happier with the services we received from Conrad Marsili. We have a rather unusual "story", and he really listened to it and captured the essence of it during our ceremony. He was so kind, and detailed, and flexible on the time. He definitely made it a memorable ceremony. Thanks Conrad!

    Conrad doesn’t disappoint!

    Conrad was the perfect officiant for our wedding and we’d HIGHLY recommend working with him. Our hesitation with finding an officiant online was that it would feel impersonal, but our experience with Conrad was quite the opposite. Conrad spent over 5 hours getting to know us and chatting in the months leading up to our wedding. By game day, Conrad was telling jokes like he was a close friend or member of the family. We were ask repeatedly, “where did you find your officiant?! How long have you known him?!”
    Conrad was completely flexible to how we wanted to structure our ceremony: the length, the level of religious involvement, etc… It was so nice to not feel pressured to do things Conrad’s way, and instead be encouraged by Conrad to do things OUR way.
    People often tell you to be flexible because there are bound to be things wrong with the ceremony. Our ceremony went EXACTLY as we had imagined it, and that was thanks to Conrad!

    Choose Conrad, you won’t be disappointed!

    Drawbridge Lane Weddings's reply:

    Thank you so much, Sarah and Griffin!
    Your kind words are heartwarming to me because I do indeed want you both to have a ceremony that is indeed an event.
    I love the pictures you sent! You know, I was having a good time too from the photos. I suppose it's because I did feel like a member of the family. Happiness always. Conrad

    The Most Romantic Ceremony

    Conrad was absolutely wonderful start to finish! He took the time to meet with us and personalize the ceremony. He has such a special way of bringing everyone into the ceremony and making each guest feel special. It was such a romantic and intimate ceremony! Our guests and our parents could not stop talking about how wonderful Conrad was and how much they enjoyed him. He really takes the time to make your ceremony special. Throughout the night multiple guests kept telling us that "this was the most romantic wedding ceremony" they had ever attended. We would recommend Conrad to anyone and everyone that's getting married!

    Drawbridge Lane Weddings's reply:

    Thank you Laura sincerely for your kind words and recommendation.
    Your venue was wonderful which helped to make for a more intimate experience.
    Your guests stopped me and remarked with warmth about the ceremony as well so I know you were delighted to hear how your wedding will always be remembered with love.
    Best Wishes Always
    Conrad

    Great experience

    Definitely helped us with every last detail. Does his best to make your day is perfect! Was always quick to respond. And answered every question we had in detail. Honestly if it weren't for him we wouldn't have even knew what order to walk down the aisle haha. Always early which I loved because I'm a worry wart, and everyone definitely enjoyed his service. Book with Conrad and have your wedding stress free!

    Drawbridge Lane Weddings's reply:

    Thank you so very much, Lynette for your most kind words.
    Your wedding was beautiful and indeed, the wedding party's entrance was wonderful and full of smiles.
    Best,

    Book Conrad for your wedding, you won’t regret it!

    Conrad was AMAZING! I was searching on weddingwire to find an officiant and came across his name. He was quick to respond and set up a zoom call so we could “meet” face to face. I knew right away he would be perfect to marry us. He puts in so many extra hours to make your wedding day perfect and it really shows. I got so many compliments after the wedding on how personable he was during the ceremony.

    AMAZING Wedding Officiant!!

    We were searching online for an officiant for our wedding day in June 2022. We were drawn to Conrad because of his awesome reviews! Well, they are all very true! Immediately after talking to Conrad, we felt very comfortable and confident of having him marry us! We had an initial meeting over zoom where he got to know a little bit about us and an idea of what we would like for the ceremony. Afterwards, he sent us a rough draft of vows that he invited us to add/edit anything we'd like! Conrad even set up an in-person meeting (almost two hours long!!) where he took time to get to know us, go over the vows, and finalize details. Conrad truly cares about getting to know his couples personally. I felt that this made a HUGE positive impact with the ceremony as it felt like someone we knew marrying us, not just someone we found online (: Conrad connected with our guests, acknowledged all of the locations they had come from, referenced how we met and our interests, and just overall made the ceremony very personal to us! Conrad also ran our rehearsal the night before the wedding and was able to keep a large bridal party organized while also keeping it fun! We HIGHLY recommend Conrad as a wedding officiant!!!!

    Drawbridge Lane Weddings's reply:

    Thank you Taylor for your wonderful review!
    You have personalized my process from the couple's view in a way that profoundly moved me.
    To spend so much time with a couple seems to some excessive and not profitable. However, when the result is enhancing a ceremony that is by its very nature, the ultimate event of the most profound day of a person's life, then my goal has been accomplished.
    To have you so moved to write such a comprehensive outline of my process is an honor and an endearing thoughtfulness.
    Best Always,
    Conrad

    Conrad is amazing to work with. He goes over the top to make your ceremony everything that you want it to be! He was easy to schedule meetings with and answered any questions we had whenever we needed. He was so helpful during rehearsal and handled our silliness with ease. Thank you Conrad!! We are so happy you were our officiant!

    Officiant review

    Conrad went above and beyond the norm, to get to know Bill and I, to ensure that our day was special. All of our guest gave great compliments of the ceremony that Conrad performed. It was personal and very endearing. He put his heart into all the details, and believe me, it showed. I would highly recommend Conrad to any couples looking for an excellent officiant.

    Amazing Day

    Conrad is personable, helpful, and reliable. He did a great job with walking us through the process, which was very helpful to me because I didn’t have a wedding planner. He always responded promptly to my emails and texts with any questions. Conrad really took the time to get to know us, and in result did a beautiful job telling our story to our guests. He also did a wonderful job making the wedding party and guests feel a part of the ceremony themselves. We highly recommend Conrad Marsili!

    Perfect fit for our wedding

    We booked Conrad for our wedding one June 18th, 2022. He is an extremely friendly, personable, and funny guy. I’m so glad we hired someone who could portray our vision while bringing laughter and memories to our ceremony. Highly recommend Conrad for all your wedding ceremony needs.

    Drawbridge Lane Weddings's reply:

    Thank you Jessica, you and Ben were fun from the first.
    Your wedding venue in the wine Cellar had a special feel and all were so happy and charmed immediately.
    Best to you both always. Conrad

    Personable & professional

    We loved working with Conrad! From the first time we met him, he made sure to really get to know us and learn about us as a couple! The vows were wonderful and he was really able to personalize the ceremony! Another thing we loved about Conrad was that he really made sure the photographer and videographer got the important shots they needed! He also worked with us through everything that happened with covid this year and rescheduling our wedding!

    Perfect Wedding Ceremony

    We used Drawbridge Lane Weddings to officiate our wedding on August 1st. Conrad was genuine, kind, and thorough. He was flexible when we had to re-schedule our wedding due to COVID-19. When we first contacted Drawbridge Lane Weddings, Conrad wanted to have an in-person meeting with us. He wanted to learn about us and how we became a couple. Conrad presented us with a script of the Wedding Nuptials. He let us customize the Wedding Ceremony Nuptials to our liking. We had a follow up phone call with Conrad a few days prior to our wedding to go over everything with us. On our wedding day, he went over everything with us again at the ceremony location. Conrad keep our guests interested and engaged throughout the ceremony. His words painted a beautiful picture of our relationship to our guests. Our ceremony was flawless, and we were completely satisfied with Drawbridge Lane Weddings. Thank you, Conrad!

    Drawbridge Lane Weddings's reply:

    Kelsey your words are so very kind.
    You have told the story of my process. It is the process that in your words allowed me to have "painted a beautiful picture of our relationship to our guests."
    You opened up to me in a way that allowed me to trully know the love between you and Sam. So I could find the words that so moved the 💕 of your guests. Happiness always. Conrad

    Beautiful Ceremony

    Everyone I talked to prior to my wedding, had their doubts about hiring someone random to do our wedding ceremony. However, Conrad had everyone biting their tongue by the end of our ceremony. He had a way of lightening the mood while also being so personal with our ceremony. He gave us so many great ideas to make our ceremony more personal and intimate. I am so happy with our decision. Book him, you definitely won’t regret it!!

    Conrad did an incredible job at our wedding. He is professional and made the ceremony roll without a hitch. Make sure you have tissues for the guests! He met with us prior and it felt like we were meeting with a friend that we have known for forever. He put our minds at ease. Conrad even took the time to officiate our wedding the day before his own sons! Thanks for everything!! -The Breeds

    Conrad took time to meet with us and have phone conversations with us on a few different occasions to make sure he knew what we wanted. Would recommend his services!
