  Thoughtful and Flexible

  Shannon was an absolute joy to work with and the perfect officiant for our intimate ceremony. She reached out to us ahead of time to learn a little bit about our story and hear our thoughts on matrimony, which was great, as it made the whole arrangement seem less transactional. On the day of, she was flexible and understanding, as we were running ridiculously late! She had a great calming energy, as we were running around frantically. She even helped pin my corsage to my lapel!
  For the ceremony itself, she did a great job of integrating some of the thoughts we shared with her ahead of time with her own, as well as giving us the space to share our vows with each other. She pitched in on good ideas of photos and all around just had great energy. You can tell she just loves love, so it was a great vibe to have for what was just me, my spouse, her and the photographer. Would highly recommend!

  Your wedding ceremony may have been small, but the love felt between the two of you wasn't small at all. I was truly inspired by your love story and the vows that you shared with one another. Thank you for choosing me to be a part of this very special moment in your love story. Wishing you a lifetime filled with more love, growth and gratitude.

  No need to look further! Shannon is the best!

  My now husband and I decided to elope before we have our big wedding next year. We contacted Shannon on short notice and she able to officiate our marriage. She gave the best advice on beaches for the ceremony and was super helpful navigating through everything and made feel extremely comfortable. I couldn’t have asked for a better officiant.

  She was beyond awesome!!!

Brought chills down my spine and made me tear up a little because it was absolutely wonderful and straight from the heart!!!! She was meant for this and it shows!!! Wonderful job on the ceremony Shannon!!!

  Shannon helped make our day so special!!

  Shannon was absolutely wonderful! Her personable and kind demeanor made us feel that we had known her for years upon meeting her for the first time. She really took the time to ask questions and get to know what was important to us on our wedding day and offered creative ideas and suggestions. She also helped guide us through the legal side of the marriage license and obtaining our marriage certificate. You can consider yourself lucky to have Shannon be a part of your special day!

  Your ceremony was everything we envisioned and more. Being in nature, surrounded by trees, with the very warm sun shining down upon us....which was just an indication of the warmth in your hearts for one another. It was an honor to officiate this truly heartwarming ceremony for the two of you and your family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

  Personal & Meaningful

  I wasn’t sure where to start with planning my ceremony especially because my husbands family and mine have different faith beliefs. Shannon took the time to plan a ceremony for us that both of our families would appreciate. Everyone present said that our ceremony was truly unique. We have Shannon to thank for that. The level of customer care that she provided to us throughout the experience was more than we expected. She even gave us a book about love as a wedding gift.
  Thank you Shannon!

  Expectations exceeded!

  Shannon was, by title, the officiant for our wedding. But she was SO much more. She is organized, professional with an abundance of warmth, sincerity and heart. She also gave me ideas on how to integrate my children into our ceremony. There were too many nuances to mention from our conversations which made our ceremony great vs "very good". I interviewed 3 officiants for 15mins each. Out of the gate, I knew Shannon was a great fit. A lifetime of thanks from Peter and Angela, Shannon.

  I truly enjoyed working with you both to create a truly unique and intimate beachfront ceremony complete with handfasting. I see you all as soul family and know that our paths were meant to cross and trust that they will again sometime in the future. I hope that the gift book I sent to you truly resonated with you as much as it did for me. Happy 7 month anniversary.

  Magical!!!

  We both liked shannon immediately because she was really interested in us and she proved our initial impression by preparing a very personal ceremony with us and never stole the spotlight
  I would highly recommend shannon.
  It’s a special day, it’s important. Shannon filled the day with kindness and care. We couldn’t ask for more than that.

  She did a fabulous job

  Shannon did a great job of capturing who We are and doing exactly how I wanted the ceremony to go. She was thorough and the write up of our ceremony and everything I wanted included as well as the filing of our marriage certificate. I would definitely recommend her.

  Magical Moment

  As a pagan I was worried I would not find someone to understand the difference in detail of the ceremony. Shannon not only took the time to inquire with me personally but me personally but also did her own diligent research research to come up with the perfect idea idea to present. The day of the event I could not have asked for anything better in terms of her delivery her words were compassionate, Genuine and heartfelt. The composure of her delivery was poignant and hit all the right marks without droning along leaving anyone to lose interest. I truly feel that there were magic in her words and a spell was cast to bind my husband and I together forever

  Your wedding was truly unique and I learned so much officiating it. What is important to me is that each ceremony is meanigful to the couple whatever their beliefs are. I truly loved all of the spiritual and nature based themes in your ceremony. The hadfasting was very fun and meanigful as well as the jumping of the broom tradition which was new for me to facilitate.
