The most loving, heartfelt ceremony we could have ever imagined!
We met Liz through our party planner, and we immediately hit off over our phone call with her! She was very detailed and laid out the plan for the entire ceremony. She asked us a lot of questions, was accommodating to what we were asking and the stories we wanted to include.
Leading up to the event, she was very communicative over email and we were really confident and no-stress leading up to the wedding.
On the day of our wedding, we met with Liz right before the ceremony! She confirmed all the details, got the marriage license ready, and gave us really great words of advice - be present! Enjoy the ceremony, and allow yourself to feel all the love that is happening. She was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and really helped put our nerves at ease with how comforting she was.
During the ceremony, she gave the most beautiful, and heartwarming speech we’ve ever heard. There was not a dry eye in the venue. Her words were incredibly moving, and it allowed my wife and I to really enjoy being up there on the altar and focus on ourselves being present. Additionally, Liz also included the crowd! Everyone was able to yell, “We do!” to bless our wedding and it was so cute and funny. After the ceremony, we were able to sign the license asap and we were married! Woohoo!
Throughout the evening, we had everyone come up to us telling us that Liz’s speech made them believe in love again. It was the most incredible ceremony they’ve heard.
After our wedding, Liz has continued to stay in contact, wishing us well and updating us on the filing of our license!
Overall, we could not be happier with having Liz officiate our wedding. There are no other words to describe it other than perfect. Thank you so much Liz for a ceremony we’ll never forget!

Being part of your wedding day was just the best, Florin! It was easy and fun to feed off the love your large community of friends and family clearly have for you both. You two were SO READY to say your vows, and I know you will be making the most of your marriage every single day. Thanks again for such an animated review! With love, Liz -

Liz is Delightful!
We had a very small ceremony with just our parents in attendance, at sunrise, in a park. Liz came to our humble ceremony with the same heart as if this were a large wedding with 200 people in attendance. All told, our "elopement" ceremony took about 8 minutes, but Liz's delivery and care made it feel like time had stopped for us. My husband and I could not recommend her enough. We both left saying "It kind of sucks that we only get to hire her once, she was wonderful." If you're on the fence about utilizing Liz, consider this your sign to reach out and book her!

You will certainly only be hiring me once, Breanna! (funny!) And yes, we should always celebrate love with the fullest of hearts, no matter who is in attendance. It was my pleasure to be with you and your parents under the pink sunrise. All my best to you and your handsome husband! Thank you! -

Liz put together a beautiful ceremony
Liz exceeded our wildest expectations. Leading up to the wedding, Liz was a beacon of calm amongst the various vendors we were working and planning with. She asked some questions right after we hired her with a very clear timeline for when she needed answers by so we knew when we needed to get back to her. Other than that, any time we had questions for her she responded very quickly. Before the ceremony, Liz checked in on each of us to make sure we were ready and to pick up our vow books so she could hold them during the ceremony. The ceremony itself was gorgeous. Liz helped us stay focused and centered on our love and commitment to each other. She also did a wonderful job telling our love story. After the ceremony, several of our friends told us that it was the most touching wedding they had ever attended. A few even asked for her info so they could hire her for their weddings and vow renewals.
Tldr; hire Liz! It will truly be the best money you spend on your wedding :)Liz exceeded our wildest expectations.

Liz is so great. She really gets to know you on a personal level. She was very professional but still made a great connection with us and shared our story beautifully!Liz is so great.

Her telling of our story created a beautiful ceremony that spoke us and to our guests.
Liz’s knowledge of weddings (because she does so many a year) was a plus for designing our ceremony as well as helping us make decisions about the flow of the ceremony. For example, after discussing it with Liz, we decided against a photo op in the middle of the ceremony because it would disrupt the attention of the guests from being in the moment during our unplugged ceremony. A couple weeks before the wedding my husband wanted to see the ceremony laid out word for word while I wanted to be surprised by the details. Liz worked directly with him, answering questions and sharing details. This was great for helping him feel comfortable with the content as well as working to the level of detail each of us needed.

Wonderful Officiant!
We loved having Liz as our wedding officiant and would highly recommend her! Such thought was put into our ceremony and she really captured the essence of our relationship. Her confidence and professionalism really put us at ease on wedding day. I loved that she stopped by to say hi to everyone beforehand and appreciated the confronting presence she provided. It was such a joy to have her as our officiant and we really appreciate everything!We loved having Liz as our wedding officiant and would highly recommend her!

Amazing Experience with Liz
We recently had our micro wedding in Phoenix at the Wrigley Mansion. Because it was a small affair we had the luxury of having every detail the way we wanted it - including our officiant! As soon as we visited Liz's website, we knew she was the one for us. In a sea of options, Liz is a gem - perfectly devoted to you & your occasion. She took time to meet us over Zoom and then sent us a detailed email with questions about our relationship. We opted to do personal vows and then used a combination of the example vows she provided to write our "I do" portion. The day of the wedding, I was feeling anxiety about doing personal vows - I wanted to be in the moment and felt that if I were trying to recall my vows, I'd not be. Liz was available and empathetic when I reached out over email and we decided to skip personal vows. There was plenty of material in our ceremony AND we got to enjoy every moment. Liz managed to craft a message so personal that our friends thought we had written it - Gorgeous words, we loved the ring ceremony & we'll forever be grateful.

You're so very welcome! 'Being in the moment' is what I try to bring to my ceremonies, Candace, and I'm so glad our last minute co-decision worked out so that you could feel fully present during your own wedding. That's how it should be. All my best to you and your handsome hubs! And adorable Bacon as well. -

Wonderful experience with Liz!
Liz was an absolute joy to work with! My husband and I really wanted to find an officiant that could provide an intimate and personal experience for our wedding ceremony and Liz delivered with excellence! The ceremony she wrote for us was highly tailored to our love story- it felt like she really knew us as a couple. She has a warm and confident presence that puts you at ease and sets the perfect tone for the ceremony. We received so many compliments about her during our wedding. We would highly recommend Liz to anyone who is seeking a personalized and special ceremony. She truly provided the most beautiful start to our wedding!Liz was an absolute joy to work with!

Great from first call to the ceremony!
Liz really gets to know you as a couple. With her emails and calls (we did Facetime) she learned about our relationship history, our story, what things are meaningful to us as a couple and individually.
She then takes all this knowledge and crafts a very personalized ceremony. So many family members came up to me after and said how she really brought up the joy and the true commitment a marriage takes.
During this time of Covid and having a small ceremony, I think choosing the right officiant really matters because the ceremony and the marriage is really highlighted at this time.
She is also great with any follow up and the ceremony script after as a keepsake is great!Liz really gets to know you as a couple. With her emails and calls (we did Facetime) she learned about our relationship history, our story, what things are meaningful to us as a couple and individually.

Absolutely Wonderful!
I can't even begin to describe how happy we were to have Liz be a part of our special day! From our first conversation, we knew that her warm and calming presence would help us both feel an immediate sense of comfort on such a big day in our lives. She was wonderfully articulate, engaging, and spoke from the heart. I honestly felt like we were getting married by a family friend. She made what could have been a stressful process very seamless. She was informative, prompt, reliable, and just an all around joy to be around. She even mailed us a copy of our vows, which was so thoughtful. We couldn't have been happier with our choice!

Your search for an officiant can end here!
I can not possibly say enough great things about Liz and the huge part she played in making our day so special. From the initial inquiry to the ceremony, Liz was beyond kind and accommodating. Although we never met in person before the wedding, our ceremony was completely unique to us and our relationship. Throughout the entire evening we had guests commenting on what a beautiful job Liz had done and even had one guest ask if we were related to Liz because of how well she knew our story. Between the dedication she has to understanding your story perfectly and the kindness and warmth Liz radiates, there is absolutely no way you could go wrong in choosing her to be your officiant. We will be forever thankful that we found her to officiate our big day!I can not possibly say enough great things about Liz and the huge part she played in making our day so special.

Amazing wedding officiant !
We found Liz through The Knot and from our initial FaceTime call to the actual ceremony, she was amazing. She made sure to tell our story and incorporate things we had talked about. She also sent us a script of the ceremony, which will be a lovely keepsake to cherish for years ahead. My husband is also atheist and he was very comfortable with the verbiage throughout the ceremony. Thank you so much Liz, it was magical!We found Liz through The Knot and from our initial FaceTime call to the actual ceremony, she was amazing.

Exceptional Ceremony, Thank you Liz!
We found Liz via her website and after her prompt response, we knew she would be the perfect officiant. We wanted something non religious and Liz offered a wide range of ideas and helpful tips that ended up making our ceremony perfect. Even though we only chatted over email, it seemed like she was with us on our entire relationship journey. She captured our love in a beautiful way that even members of our family recognized and appreciated.
She put in a huge amount of work to prepare for the ceremony, be with us on the day, and then promptly filed our license afterward. She also mailed us a keepsake copy of her wedding script.
Thank you Liz! We cannot overstate how perfect you made our day.We found Liz via her website and after her prompt response, we knew she would be the perfect officiant.

Liz was absolutely amazing!
My husband and I found Liz through Weddingwire and had the chance to watch her perform a ceremony through a wedding video we viewed. From the moment she began speaking, we knew that she was the one for us. Liz has such a positive, loving attitude and you can feel the passion she has for this industry. Liz met my husband and I for our first meeting at a coffee shop and just wanted to chat about our relationship, our wedding plans and what we had envisioned for our big day. We left that meeting feeling totally confident and excited that she would be working with us on our special day. We met a few months before the wedding and she never failed to stay in contact with us, she sent us emails with different questions about our relationship and allowed us to pick the format we wanted for our ceremony from examples that she had previously used. This process was so effortless and easy. Unfortunately, after two years of wedding planning, our wedding fell during COVID and we had to drastically change our plans. We moved up our wedding by two weeks and cut our guest list to 10 people. We called all of our vendors to see if they would be willing to attend. Liz did not even hesitate for a second and said she would do absolutely anything to make this day perfect for us. She had our ceremony planned out and ready with two days notice and she walked us through it every step of the way. When the big day came, she was a calm and loving presence and made my husband and I feel at home. Her words were beautiful, meaningful and personal, as she had loads of details about our relationship mixed into her message. My husband and I wanted to say our own vows and she guided us with ease. During our personal vows, you could even see Liz tear up, which just goes to show how passionate she is about her job. On top of all this, she is an elegant and witty speaker and my family absolutely raved about her for months after the wedding. She is amazing, personable, loving, passionate and so much fun to work with...look no further, you have found the officiant for you. Thank you Liz for making our day so special.
Love,
Sydney and NickMy husband and I found Liz through Weddingwire and had the chance to watch her perform a ceremony through a wedding video we viewed. From the moment she began speaking, we knew that she was the one for us. Liz has such a positive, loving attitude and you can feel the passion she has for this industry. Liz met my husband and I for our first meeting at a coffee shop and just wanted to chat about our relationship, our wedding plans and what we had envisioned for our big day. We left that meeting feeling totally confident and excited that she would be working with us on our special day. We met a few months before the wedding and she never failed to stay in contact with us, she sent us emails with different questions about our relationship and allowed us to pick the format we wanted for our ceremony from examples that she had previously used. This process was so effortless and easy. Unfortunately, after two years of wedding planning, our wedding fell during COVID and we had to drastically change our plans. We moved up our wedding by two weeks and cut our guest list to 10 people. We called all of our vendors to see if they would be willing to attend. Liz did not even hesitate for a second and said she would do absolutely anything to make this day perfect for us. She had our ceremony planned out and ready with two days notice and she walked us through it every step of the way. When the big day came, she was a calm and loving presence and made my husband and I feel at home.

Life sure threw us some curve balls the Spring of 2020, didn't it? But what it couldn't interfere with was your love and desire to get married! So glad we were all able to be flexible and be there for you and Nick as you exchanged your beautiful vows. I so enjoyed being part of the day and I'm so happy to hear it was a positive experience as well for you and your families. With love back at ya! Liz -

A beautiful and memorable ceremony by Liz!
We found Liz on another wedding website while searching for officiants that specialize in non-religious ceremonies. We found Joyful Unions and based on the great reviews, we reached out! Liz was quick to respond and not soon after that, we met with her and instantly connected! Liz is so personable and easy to talk to, that we knew we wanted her as our officiant. She took the time to learn our story, understand what was important to us, and did an incredible job weaving everything into the ceremony. Our families and friends loved hearing our story be told and about the love that we share. Liz also engaged the audience! It was such a memorable experience and one that we will remember forever. Thank you Liz.

Our day wouldn’t be the same without Liz!
From the beginning, Liz exceeded my expectations. My husband and I had a very small and last minute wedding, with about a week to plan the details. Being a first time bride and having limited time, Liz was a rock throughout and responded quickly and made me feel at ease.
The ceremony was exactly what we wanted and it was intimate and personal. Our family and friends continue to say how lovely Liz was and how much she contributed to the vibe of our ceremony.
I recommend Liz to anyone and everyone. A caring person who loves what she does and to have that energy during such a special day… I cannot express my gratitude enough.From the beginning, Liz exceeded my expectations.

It was my pleasure to join you and your community (both those present and virtually) to see you two married. It really was a perfect Arizona day, wasn't it? So glad you and your handsome husband were happy with the ceremony, Ashleigh. My best to you both, Liz -

A wonderful experience!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Liz! She made our day so special. My husband and I are not big on speaking in front of people and we were really nervous about saying vows. Liz made sure everything was easy and we were comfortable. Everything was so beautiful and she even was able to pivot and add in a last minute adjustment to honor a loved one who passed away the day before our wedding. If I could go back and do the day all over again, I would make sure to have Liz officiate. Thank you so much for all you before our day, on our day and even after!!I can’t say enough wonderful things about Liz! She made our day so special.

It was such a pleasure to join you and your community at the foot of the Superstitions, Alyssa. What a beautiful day. And again, I'm glad we were able to honor Austin's grandmother. Thank you for your kind words, and enjoy the heck out of your marriage! -

The best wedding ceremony - our personal love story
Liz is WONDERFUL!! If you are looking for someone who will craft the most beautifully personal and intimate ceremony celebrating your relationship Liz is the one. She was so easy and accommodating to work with. I reached out to her last minute and she was able to work with us on a very short timeline.
Our families RAVED about the ceremony - it was the first non-religious wedding for many of them and they were all really moved by Liz’s words. She was able to tell our love story so perfectly. Liz also mailed us a copy of our ceremony as a keepsake and we will treasure it forever.Liz is WONDERFUL!!

People are still talking...
Liz was the officiant at our wedding on 11/30. Having only met via email and phone prior to our special day, Liz was able to capture our spirit and connection in such a way that our guests thought we had known her for many years. She did an excellent job and would recommend her to anyone for their special day.Liz was the officiant at our wedding on 11/30.

5 star review!!
Liz is beautiful inside and out. She exceeded our expectations. Our ceremony was absolutely beautiful largely due to Liz. She met with me and my NOW husband several times to learn about us and our journey together. We truly felt a connection with her. She then crafted a script to share with our guests that personalized the love we have for one another. After the ceremony I had numerous guests tell me how amazing Liz was and how they enjoyed learning things about Todd and I they didn’t know. If you are looking to personalize your wedding ceremony and make it special, Liz is your gal!!
Liz we can’t thank you enough we for exceeding our expectations and making our ceremony enjoyable for all that attended!Liz is beautiful inside and out. She exceeded our expectations.

Perfect Ceremony
Liz was wonderful from start to finish. We knew the first time we met her that she was communicative, efficient, compassionate, professional, and very sweet, and we were beyond impressed. She wrote a beautiful and accurate love story, our ceremony was touching, and everyone in our group loved her. 5 Stars and more!! She hiked 3 miles round trip to marry us on a mountain peak, and it was great fun! Thank you Liz for making our special day more special.Liz was wonderful from start to finish.

I felt such an immediate connection to you and Chris, Tori. Thanks so much for inviting me to be part of the wedding hiking group! What a beautiful place you chose to exchange your vows -- with seemingly all of Arizona in 360 degrees around us. Love each other well. Always, Liz -
