Wow, Heidi was an incredible officiant and helped me and my husband craft the most perfect ceremony. I've seen many weddings and sometimes the officiant makes it about themselves, or thinks of it as a tight 5 comedy special, but not Heidi. She was professional, well-spoken, and truly understood our needs to help us create a perfect day. We eloped in Joshua Tree and she drove out to us, and helped us figure the how to's of getting married every step of the way. I highly recommend working with Heidi if you want a ceremony that is special, filled with joy, and has heart and soul. I will definitely be recommending Love Story Vows to anyone I know getting married. Thank you Heidi! :) - Holly & Evan.

I can’t say enough good things about Heidi from Love Story Vows! In my search for an officiant, I was overwhelmed with all of the choices and didn’t know who to choose. I ended up asking my friend who had been her sister’s officiant and she pointed me to Heidi—and I am so glad she did! Heidi worked with us every step of the way to create a personalized ceremony that was everything we wanted: short, non-religious, funny, and sweet. She had our guests raving about it being one of the best ceremonies they had ever seen, and several guests asked if she was a friend of the family because it felt so personal! Heidi also has great ideas for unity ceremonies—the “tying the knot” ceremony was a big hit at our wedding. Cannot recommend her highly enough! -

Heidi was simply fantastic!
We came from Canada to have our wedding in California. Heidi’s service, communication and attention to our wedding was second to none. She involved us fully in our ceremony, gave us some great ideas and then knocked our ceremony out of the park. We could not have dreamed up a better ceremony involving our 6 boys. -

Heidi was wonderful to work with. She helped us every step of the way and even gave us tips to help us in our new journey of being a married couple. Heidi felt like close family to guide us on this journey and truly made our wedding a joyous occasion. I will recommend her to anyone getting married in the future. Also, she is connected to Love Story Photography and they are amazing as well!!! -

Heidi is awesome! We had wanted to have a personalized ceremony that reflected who we are as a couple, but we had no idea where to start. Enter Heidi, who walked us through every step and had lots of ideas on crafting a customized ceremony. She not only made sure we got the fun stuff done, but she helped us with the legal process as well. As a busy bride, I appreciated her reminder emails and texts, helping us stay on top of the whole process. She gave us "homework" to complete, so she could write our ceremony, which was helpful to prevent things from being done at the last minute. She also sent rough drafts for us to read over, so we could make changes if necessary. She made it easy and fun to work on our ceremony, and the day of, she helped calm my nerves! Guests really liked the ceremony we put together, and most importantly, we loved our ceremony! We will have memories for a lifetime! Thank you Heidi, for being a part of our special day! We couldn't have gotten married without you! Photo is of our 30 sec pre-ceremony photoshoot for our guests. We had a unplugged ceremony for obvious reasons 😂 -

A very happy couple!!!
I HIGHLY recommend using Love Story Vows for your most special wedding day. I felt a connection with Heidi during our first call and she left me feeling confident she would do a great job. I was wrong….she did a PHENOMENAL INCREDIBLE JOB! All of our guests were blown away with the uniqueness and sincerity of our custom ceremony and I couldn’t agree more. I am truly thankful to have hired Love Story Vows. -

Patrick G. Sent on 07/23/2023Heidi to the Rescue
Two days before our wedding our officiant got sick and we needed an officiant quickly. Our wedding planner had many recommended officiants, but Heidi was the quickest to respond. Within minutes of reaching out to her, she called me and went right to work to create a memorable ceremony for us. Heidi took our tiny ceremony and created the most memorable part of our wedding that I won't ever forget. She made the whole experience effortless and she had the most graceful command skills. If you're on the fence about who to pick you won't regret picking Heidi!Love Story Vows's reply:
Thank you so much Patrick! I feel so lucky to be able to share your wedding day with you, your husband and your wonderful sons! I want you to know that I am here if any of you need anything, you have the most wonderful family and you're both such amazing fathers! Enjoy your summer and I wish you all so much love! -

Mary B. Sent on 12/28/2023We Loved Working With Love Story Vows
Heidi was wonderful to work with! She was communicative, supportive, and professional every step of the way! She was knowledgable about the Southern CA wedding scene and connected us with a bakery for our wedding cake when we told her we will still looking for one.
The ceremony she wrote & conducted was beautiful, funny, and perfectly represented us as a couple, which was only possible because of how much time she spent learning our story and getting to know us.
After our wedding, there was a small issue with our marriage license that required us to resubmit the application. She quickly met us, resolved the issue, and handled resubmitting the application within days of us reaching out.
She truly went above and beyond for us throughout our entire planning journey! -

Heidi's Awesome!
Heidi was amazing! She was super helpful during the whole process. She checked in multiple times to see how we were doing with planning and helped calm us down when we were getting stressed from planning. She officiated our wedding at Lake Arrowhead Resort & Spa and the whole event was perfect! She even showed up early to make sure we weren't too stressed out before the ceremony. The ceremony was tailored to us and what we wanted. We got to express how we feel about each other and Heidi helped to keep it light and fun.Love Story Vows's reply:
Thank you!!! I loved putting together your ceremony with you. You were both so much fun and your bridal party members were awesome, I absolutely loved getting to know your Maid of Honor, such a wonderful woman! I hope you both are happy, healthy and remember, I'm just a text away if you ever need me! -

Abril I. Sent on 11/24/2022I will never forget our beautiful Ceremony. Heidi is incredible!
Heidi is absolutely amazing! Right after the ceremony ended and even throughout the Reception and Brunch the next day, I heard from EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR 65 GUESTS about how ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, PERSONALIZED, ROMANTIC, EMOTIONAL, ORIGINAL AND FULL OF SENTIMENT our ceremony was. Their expressions as they shared this with us is something I will never forget.
My husband and I come from somewhat religious backgrounds but we really wanted to go a different route for our ceremony; something that represented US, captured our journey, our future, and incorporated the things that we love to do and geek out together, as well as making both our families happy. As many people who don’t really know where to start looking, I began conversations with a bunch of officiants who could perform nondenominational ceremonies. However, none of them seem to have that warmth and caring enthusiasm that Heidi has. During our first call it came out that Heidi also likes the very same things that my husband and I enjoy geeking over and we just knew that we had found her. She provided that connection that elevated her from just someone doing a service, guiding us through a process that they’ve done about a hundred times with other couples… to someone with whom we actually felt super comfortable to be ourselves, say silly things, allow ourselves to be completely honest and vulnerable, and have absolute trust in her guidance. Working with her as we customized and build our ceremony was so seamless. She was super open and flexible to new ideas from us. We did the Celtic Handfasting and a twist on the traditional Hispanic ritual of the coins, as well as provided our own suggestions for readings. More importantly, she was super understanding of how stressful this planning journey can be, and she was always there to cheer us on. She goes above and beyond on everything. Minutes before the ceremony, she talked to our photographer to let him know about the Celtic Handfasting and they agreed on where would be the best place to be for photos! The Ceremony was so beautiful and fun. When we weren’t holding back tears, we were laughing! Her telling of our Love Story seemed to bring everyone together, witnesses of our journey. Again, everyone’s expressions as they came up to us to share their feelings of the ceremony, as well as their best wishes, is something I will never forget. Even after it was all over, Heidi stayed to talk to us and encourage us on our exciting future together. Tears were shed! The rest of the night seemed to go so fast for me, but the Ceremony lives suspended in my memory.
Thank you so much Auntie Heidi!Love Story Vows's reply:
I loved our journey together! You’re both such creative and wonderful people! Geeking out with both of you and putting together the most unique and original ceremony was a glorious adventure for me too! The ceremony on the roof of the Natural History Museum was so magical too! I adore you and I am always a text or phone call away!❤️ 🤗❤️ -

Heidi is PHENOMENAL. She was beyond amazing every step of the way! She is so kind and patient, and listens intently to what you and your partner want for your wedding ceremony. Within moments of speaking to her, it's evident that she genuinely cares about YOU and that she deeply enjoys her work. I cannot recommend her enough! My husband and I were so lucky to have Heidi officiate our intimate elopement. She crafted a beautiful ceremony and went above and beyond on the day of our wedding to ensure that we had the most perfect day. We are forever grateful for the ceremony and memories she helped us create!Love Story Vows's reply:

Katie K. Sent on 11/08/2022Ceremony of my Dreams!
After two years of planning, we finally tied the knot this past October! Having pretty much planned the whole celebration ourselves, we had our share of road bumps along the way…and that included securing an officiant.
In the last week leading up to our wedding day, we found ourselves without an officiant, and I was in a state of panic. After confiding in a friend, she started sending me a list of possible alternatives and the first name that appeared was Heidi from Love Story Vows.
At this point we only had about four days to spare and I immediately sent Heidi an email, not holding out much hope that she would be available on such short notice. When she emailed me back promptly and informed me she was available, I could not believe our good fortune, and we immediately got down to planning. In just a few days over a series of emails and a few phone calls, Heidi crafted the absolute PERFECT ceremony!
Heidi is so kind, easy going and more than accommodating and I still can’t believe how amazing everything turned out.
On October 21, 2022, we had our ceremony at Arrowhead Pine Rose Cabins in Twin Peaks, CA, and it was everything I ever dreamed of.
If you are looking for an officiant who will create a ceremony that is personal, meaningful and beautiful, I couldn’t recommend Heidi enough! She really came through for us when we truly needed her and we will be forever grateful!
Love Story Vows's reply:
Katie, thank you so much for letting me share your day with both of you! Your love for each other is magical and I am so lucky to be able to help you create a ceremony that touched your hearts. It was so beautiful to be a part of your nature themed wedding in the forest! Blessed be, my friend! -

Heidi, our extraordinary wedding officiant! She created our special day into an intimate celebration that was undeniably "us." From the moment we met her back in 2019, after getting our wedding canceled for April 2020, she continue to communicate with us and was there for us September 2023. Heidi demonstrated an unparalleled commitment to making our ceremony uniquely reflective of our love story. She took the time ensure she learn about our relationship and created a ceremony that seamlessly weaved together the threads of our journey. What sets Heidi apart is her remarkable ability to make the experience all about us—her words not only encapsulated the essence of our love but also captured the hearts of everyone present. With a perfect blend of professionalism and personalization, Heidi ensured that our wedding day was not just an event but a heartfelt narrative, leaving an indelible mark on our hearts. Her dedication to making our day truly ours transformed a ceremony into a cherished memory that will forever be etched in our minds. Thank you, Heidi, for turning our love story into a beautifully orchestrated celebration that surpassed all expectations. -

I feel truly lucky my husband found Heidi to officiate our wedding! I couldn't be happier having her be part of our wedding, in the way she was able to keep my nerves down and tell our story :) Heidi really helped guide us since the beginning. She was our "auntie Heidi" and she understood our love and told our story so beautifully. She was a true light in our wedding day, thank you so much HeidiLove Story Vows's reply:

Could not recommend enough! Heidi was so great. From the moment we reached out she made herself available right away. Communication was phenomenal and she made sure that our ceremony was special. From help with vows, checking in a few days before, and following up with us after we could not be happier. Incredibly personable and just an absolute rockstar. She made our ceremony exactly how we had pictured it (even better). -
