    The Novak’s

    Bobbie is the best! She was so helpful throughout the entire process. She did a spectacular job at the ceremony. I couldn’t have picked a better person to officiate our wedding. ❤️

    Bobbie was wonderful!

    Bobbie was wonderful! We wanted a simple, non-religious ceremony. She was able to give us that plus so much more. She was very helpful in shaping the ceremony but also gave us the flexibility to provide our own input and make it uniquely our own. She provided different poems and quotes for us to look through to decide to use (and we did!). Bobbie was very kind and patient throughout the whole process. We are extremely grateful and thankful for having her be a part of our wedding day!

    Meaningful Ceremonies's reply:

    Thank you Corey! I hope you and Gerrianne have a beautiful life together. I so appreciate being such an important part of your wedding day.
    Warmly Bobbie

    Thoughtful and Helpful Officiant

    Bobbie helped up craft a ceremony that really reflected what we wanted and who we are as a couple. We didn't want a lot of padding or fluff. She helped us streamline everything but still ensured that the ceremony was thoughtful and moving. She also helped us navigate the marriage license process and turned all the paperwork in for us. I highly recommend her!

    Meaningful Ceremonies's reply:

    Thank you so much, your ceremony was so heartfelt and filled with love and passion. Wishing you both a beautiful life together!!!
    All the very best always,
    Bobbie

    Handfasting ceremony

    It was wonderful working with Bobbie. She made our ceremony so intimate and special. She knows exactly what she's doing and always prioritized our vision. My family keeps talking about how beautiful the ceremony was and I have only good things to say about our experience. We cannot recommend Bobbie enough! :)

    Meaningful Ceremonies's reply:

    Thank you Michaela,
    Your wedding ceremony with handfasting was so beautiful and intimate. I love the backdrop of the woods. Just perfect!
    I hope you and Andrew have a wonderful love filled life together!
    I so appreciate being a part of your wedding day!
    All the very best,

    Fantastic Officiant!

    We found Bobbie through WeddingWire, and she was exactly what we wanted in an officiant. We met a few times via zoom to get to know each other and wrote a beautiful ceremony. On the day of, Bobbie did a great job with the ceremony and her calming presence was very much appreciated and helped us feel at ease to enjoy the ceremony. Our guests commented on how much they loved the ceremony and what a great job she did. We would highly recommend!!!

    Meaningful Ceremonies's reply:

    Thank you so much Taylor! It was such a love filled ceremony! I hope you and Peter have a beautiful honeymoon in Hawaii!
    Many sweet blessings,
    Bobbie 💞

    A Magical Experience

    I don’t even know where to begin ~ Bobbie was incredible. I would recommend her to family, friends, and/or strangers in a heartbeat. We chatted with many potential officiants, but once we met Bobbie we knew she was the one for us. Not only did she guarantee that our ceremony would genuinely reflect who we are (which it did), she also provided us with ideas, reassurance, & validation that we didn’t even know we needed. She has the kindest soul and truly guided us to the magic that was our special day. She was available to us whenever we needed her, she was always on time and ready to go, she handled all of our paperwork to make it as stress-free as possible, and the way she treats people brings so much grace and elegance into a room. I am a BIG fan of Bobbie Ellis and would choose her over and over again to stand between my new husband and me on our special day. If you are looking for a sign, this is it!!! You need Bobbie at your wedding! 🤍

    Meaningful Ceremonies's reply:

    Oh Mandy!!!
    Thank you so much for this incredible review! I wish you both the best life and show your love always…..
    Many sweet blessings,

    Amazing Ceremony!

    Bobbie was amazing to work with and made preparing for the ceremony a breeze. She was extremely flexible and found the perfect balance for our wedding. The ceremony was beautiful! I can’t recommend her enough. Our families really enjoyed the wedding.

    It was a lovely ceremony! May you both know nothing but happiness. I loved creating a beautiful ceremony together.

    Hire bobbie

    My name is Jacquelyn and I'm the owner of The Wedding Plan & Company...as a wedding planner my team of 10 planners and I work with many, many different vendors and our entire team of planners have always LOVED partnering with Bobbie. When it came time for me to plan my own niece's wedding there was only ONE officiant I wanted her to use...you got it...Bobbie! Bobbie has a special way of making her couples feel so special by helping them curate a truly personalized ceremony. Bobbie is SO easy to work with and communicate with. She brings so much joy to wedding day...I wouldn't have trusted anybody else the same way that I trusted Bobbie for my own niece's wedding. THANK YOU BOBBIE for being a wonderful partner in all of the wedding we do together and especially for making Brennan and Kyle's day extraordinary.

    Meaningful Ceremonies's reply:

    it was my pleasure Jacquelyn,
    I so apprecIate you entrusting me with your family. This wedding on the beach with over 100 white roses at sunset with a full moon in the sky!!!! Is one of my favorites! Looking forward to collaborating again soon!

    Very put together, responsive, and helpful!

    We got the ceremony of our dreams with the help of Meaningful Ceremonies! Bobbie was very kind and helped guide us through our marriage license process. She curated a beautiful ceremony and was incredibly responsive to any little tweaks we had. I would not have changed a single thing about what was said during our ceremony, and that is so much in part due to Bobbie.
    100% recommend using Meaningful Ceremonies if you're looking for an elegant, emotional, romantic, beautiful wedding!

    Meaningful Ceremonies's reply:

    Thank you so much Jessica! May you and Matt enjoy your beautiful life together filled with the love I witnessed on your wedding day!!!!
    Many blessings,

    Perfect Officiant for Our Wedding!

    Bobbie was incredible to work with! She was so informed about the wedding ceremony and pre/post marriage license processes - it made what can be an overwhelming process feel easy. Bobbie wrote our ceremony thoughtfully and lovingly. She really got to know us as a couple and incorporated our personal touches into the ceremony so it was "ours". We heard laughter and saw tears during our ceremony, which is exactly what we were hoping for, and received so many compliments after. Highly recommend working with Bobbie and Meaningful Ceremonies.

    Meaningful Ceremonies's reply:

    It was my pleasure Erica and Steve! You are such a warm and loving couple. A joy to work with. Many happy years filled with love!!!
    Thank you so much!

    Bobbie really made our special day so much more special. From the second I found her on WeddingWire, I had a great feeling she’d be our officiant. The entire process with her was professional yet personal. She worked with us to build our perfect ceremony and it was even more perfect the day of than we could’ve imagined. It was beautiful and heartfelt and really captured the love we were feeling. Thank you Bobbie for such a memorable experience and wedding day!

    Meaningful Ceremonies's reply:

    Oh Amanda!
    Thank you so much! Your unique and beautiful ceremony will be one of the highlights of my year. I so loved your family and the way the children were included. And your very personal vows to each other captured the love you share. May you know only happiness and when there are challenges, may your deep love see you through.
    Do reach out if you need anything further.
    Blessings,
    Bobbie

    Bobbie is amazing!!

    I cannot say enough great things about Bobbie. She was always reachable and answered any questions we had. We were unsure of what kind of ceremony we wanted and Bobbie had many options and was able to show which ones worked best for us based on our vibe. We went with a sand ceremony and it was great to have a take away from the ceremony. Bobbie came to our rehearsal and took control when it was her turn to run the show. Bobbie was very dependable and we trusted her from the very beginning. You must consider Bobbie for your wedding ceremony!

    Meaningful Ceremonies's reply:

    Thank you so much Nicole! Your wedding will go down in my memorable history. It was a beautiful ceremony. I hope you have a beautiful life together filled with love. In line warmly,
    Bobbie

    Bobbie is absolutely the best officiant out there! She took her time with myself and my husband to create the most beautiful ceremony that was super special to us.

I cant thank you enough for being apart of our Wedding day. We are so happy and lucky to have found Bobbie!

    Highly Recommend

    My husband and I got married on October 30, 2021, and we absolutely loved working with Bobbie on our ceremony. Bobbie was incredible and helped to ensure that our ceremony was exactly as we envisioned it. She came to us with a fantastic template, great ideas on flow and how to include special moments, like honoring Seth's late brother and sharing the story of how we met. Bobbie was thorough, fast in her replies, and overall, very patient with us. If you are looking for someone to make your day even more special, Bobbie is the right choice. We are so happy to have found her and we could not thank her enough for making our day magical.

    Meaningful Ceremonies's reply:

    Thank you Lauren and Seth! I so loved helping make your day so special!
    All the best as you move through married life remembering your personal vows and commitment to one another.
    I am always here if you should need anything,
    Warmly,
    Bobbie

    Couldn’t Recommend enough!

    Bobbie completely understood what we wanted in our ceremony and customized it to be perfect for us! She is well spoken and professional and even helped guide us through the whole process of applying for our license and getting our marriage certificate. I couldn’t have asked for a better officiant - she truly made our ceremony a dream!

    May your days ahead be filled with love
    Bobbie
