    A Magical Experience; January 2023

    Taffy exceeded all expectations, and we are so grateful to her for performing Our Handfasting Ceremony.
    We Are Starting Our 2023 Year Off Right! :D

    From the first moment we met for our coffee/consultation, she listened closely to the story of our 15 Year Relationship, and talked about ways she could include Our Love Story to help personalize Our Ceremony.
    And then we just kept talking! She is very easy to talk to and just makes the whole process a comfortable one.

    From how and when we met in 2008 to getting Engaged while performing "If I Were A Carpenter" by Johnny Cash & June Carter Song for a Lip Sync Battle at his Company Holiday Party in 2016.

    And then onto the October 2017 Fires that caused us to postpone Our Original Wedding Plans; to my Father in Law and our Best Friend/Officiant both passing away unexpectedly the year prior and everything in-between.

    Taffy was kind & patient and she brought several creative ideas, and adepth of knowledge to the whole ceremony that we wouldn't have had otherwise.

    My now Husband 🥰 is a Rustic/Non-Religious Man and I am Witchy/Spiritualistic Woman and our guests ranged in varying degrees of Faith. Taffy took all our ideas and needs and created a Ceremony that moved everyone regardless of their Faith with its emotion. All our friends & family loved her.

    My Husband & I cannot recommend Taffy's services enough. She is a beautiful Spirit and a Wonderful Person.

    We Will Remember This Day Always.
    Thank You & Blessed Be;
    From Mr & Mrs. Melton.

    Nothing short of magical

    Taffy was seriously the BEST part of our wedding, aside from my beautiful bride of course. She came highly recommended from a Facebook group, and I absolutely understand why. She was thorough, communicative, and very involved leading up to the ceremony. She wrote a beautiful ceremony for us and checked in throughout the process to make sure we were happy and gave us the opportunity to add or remove anything as we wanted. The ceremony itself was magical, and I get teary eyed just thinking about it. She stood in the pouring rain and didn’t rush through anything, and instead embraced the blessing and didn’t miss a beat. She is LGBTQ+ friendly, affordable, handled all the paperwork, was happy to travel, and even checked in with us the following day to see how we were doing. If you are looking for the most sincere, thoughtful and downright amazing officiant, Taffy is your person!

    Taffy Dugan did an outstanding job as officiant.

    We really didn't know what we wanted for a ceremony beyond wanting to be married. My family are very Catholic while his is Mormon and neither of us practice the faith we were raised it. We wanted a ceremony that fit our more Nature based spirituality without offending either side. Taffy worked with us to build a unique, customized ceremony that was perfect. I can't imagine doing it without her help. When the day arrived, she was so professional but still very warm and approachable. Her confidence helped everyone involved feel more at ease about the ceremony. She wore a beautiful robe that looked perfect in the photos. She spoke so eloquently making the words we so carefully crafted come alive. Both families were so impressed. Our friends were impressed. Most importantly we felt that the ceremony spoke to us and fit us. What a beautiful way to start our lives together.

    Such a warm and caring person who really "got" us!

    My fiance and I knew that we did not want a religious officiant, but someone unique who would understand us and help us come up with the perfect wedding ceremony. Taffy definitely fit this bill! We met her through a friend and made an appointment to sit down and talk. We talked about how we met, our favorite things about each other, and other tidbits of info. She came up with the perfect ceremony and on the day of the wedding, everything went so perfectly. She is so sweet and kind and really made the day amazing for us. We didn't have to worry about how it would go, honestly, because we had so much confidence in her. I highly recommend Taffy!

    Absolutely Fantasic!

    Taffy was absolutely fantastic! She gave us a packet of pre-made ceremony options and we were able to pick and choose what we wanted and didn't have to worry about trying to make a ceremony from scratch but still have it be personalized. Taffy introduced us to handfasting and it had the biggest, most loved, reaction during our ceremony. I am so happy with the way everything turned out, I would definitely recommend Taffy to anyone looking for an officiant
