    An amazing ceremony

    I highly recommend choosing Toni Maddi as your officiant on your big day! She responded promptly to my initial inquiry and all of my questions, handled everything with professionalism, and worked with us to customize our ceremony (and she presented us with a ton of options that were incredibly inclusive as a starting point). The ceremony itself was beautifully orated and Toni made sure we had everything we needed!

    Thank you, Sam. Again, congratulations! It was such a delight to be a part of your wedding. I wish you all the best in your married life!

    Exceptional!

    Our ceremony went beautifully, and any small hiccups were gracefully handled by Toni. It is easy to tell that she is an extremely talented and experienced officiant! Her calm and professional demeanor really helped set the tone - we could not have asked for a better officiant for our wedding. Thank you, Toni!!

    Personalized Ceremonies by Toni Maddi's reply:

    Thank you, Andrew! Your wedding was so elegant, intimate, and beautiful. I was honored to be a part of it.

    Toni was a pleasure to work with! She was so professional, organized, and prepared. She helped ease our nerves the day of the wedding.

    I can’t tell you how many amazing compliments we got about Toni on the day of our wedding! She is very well spoken, extremely easy to talk to, she listens, and makes you feel comfortable and at ease. She made the ceremony so memorable for us and our family and friends. We can’t thank her enough! I highly recommend her!

    Briana, thank you for taking time to leave a review. I enjoyed working with you and Patrick and being a part of your ceremony. I wish you all the best in your married life!

    The day wouldn't have been the same without Toni!

    We surprised our friends and family at our engagement party by getting married! Toni knew it was a surprise and was so patient with us while we waited for enough people to join the party before making the announcement. We hadn't practiced the ceremony beforehand, but Toni made everything so easy. She was personable, professional, and gentle in her directions for us. Our family can't stop talking about how great she was!

    Personalized Ceremonies by Toni Maddi's reply:

    Thanks, Emily. Your wedding was so fun! I loved the idea the minute you contacted me. I was glad to be a part of the surprise.

    Perfect Day!

    After postponing our wedding day and changing our plans multiple times, we needed to hire an officiant for our intimate civil ceremony this January. With only about a month notice, we found Toni Maddi. She had phenomenal reviews and we totally understand why! We met with her for an initial video call and she was so professional and came prepared with tons of options for our ceremony. We were able to completely customize our ceremony and make it unique to us as a couple. When our wedding day came, she came early, helped instruct our bridal party in their roles, and had several helpful tips of things you would never even think of! She took our casual, slightly unorganized little day and turned it into a completely beautiful, organized, and legitimate ceremony. She went above and beyond making our day so special and even beyond what we could have imagined. Her words made everyone in the room emotional and we can't thank her enough! Even after the ceremony, she emailed with all the steps for getting our certificate and changing names, etc. We are so incredibly grateful we found her to help us with our day. We cannot recommend her enough!!

    Samantha, your wedding was so sweet and totally you. It was an absolute pleasure to be a part of your ceremony.

    The best there is.

    Toni is a wonderful officiant. She knows how to take control of the room, she knows how to make you(bride and groom) feel COMFORTABLE. We could not be happier with our experience with Toni. She really made the day better and she made the easier. We also hired her for the Rehearsal and that was worth every penny. THANK YOU TONI!

    Hi Nick and Stephanie,
    It was a genuine pleasure to be a part of your wedding! Yours was the first real wedding I've officiated since the pandemic started and I enjoyed every minute of it. I wish you all the best in your new life!

    She was absolutely perfect!

    When my husband and I first met with Ms. Toni, we were nervous and full of questions. Immediately upon shaking hands, there was this sense of calm about her. She was very professional, very organized, very thorough, and quite the delight to work with. Her options for our personalized ceremony far exceeded our expectations. We left our first meeting with full confidence that she was a perfect match for us. When our wedding morning came, she was early, calm, and far more prepared then anyone. She helped us through every step, every word, and we couldn’t thank her enough. Not only did we feel the love, but every guest at our ceremony felt the same and continue to compliment her.

    Thank you for helping us create the perfect day we will forever cherish in our hearts Ms. Toni Maddi. You were perfect.

    Elopement Wedding

    My husband and I booked Rev. Toni last minute and she was super accommodating and responded quickly to every message I sent her. She took the time to help us find the perfect words and the perfect ceremony for us. She was awesome at working with last minute changes we had.

    Truly a blessing.

    Toni was truly a blessing to work with. We had a very small, intimate ceremony and she walked us through the whole process. She is a true professional and am grateful that we found her. I will recommend Personalized Creations by Toni Maddi to anyone. Whether the wedding is big or small, she will make sure it is what you want and she will make you feel even more special. We are very lucky to have had her officiate our ceremony.

    Beautiful, Straightforward Ceremony

    Toni is a clearly a veteran at the top of her game. She coached us, kept us calm, and officiated over a beautiful ceremony. She has poise, confidence, and a great voice. She was very responsive throughout our communications prior to the wedding and accommodative of all the details we wanted. You can't do better--we highly recommend Toni if she if available on your date.

    Highly recommended!

    I am so grateful that Toni was our officiant on our wedding day! Toni is incredibly personable and we immediately felt very comfortable with her. We also appreciated all her expertise and she gave great advice that really helpful with our overall wedding planning. On the wedding day itself, I was a bit overwhelmed with all the emotions of the day and Toni was an immediately steadying, positive and reassuring presence. Our ceremony was perfect and we felt it reflected who we are as a couple and our wedding guests were all very complimentary of it. I’d highly recommend Toni as a wedding officiant for her wonderful approach and personalized ceremony - I am so thankful she was part of our wedding day.

    Holy cow this lady is incredible!

    I’m not implying we the bride and groom weren’t show stopping 😆 😙 because of course we were, but Toni really captivated our audience in a way scared newly weds can’t even imagine! This lady is worth thousands more than she charges to make an appearance. Her level of grace under fire, I got this it’s cool, is next level. She is a natural born leader. I had no idea how badly I needed a minister like her until I hired her and let her work her magic, wow! Folks, not a dry eye in the house! If you choose anyone besides this lady to be your minister you’re making a mistake! Toni is top notch and so crazy good at what she does, she will make you look good, even if your terrified and didn’t rehearse a thing! This lady is like an auto-pilot for your wedding ceremony! Worth every penny! Thank you for making us look like rockstars on our special day! You are the best!

    Toni Maddi was incredible to work with, both leading up to our wedding ceremony, and especially at the ceremony itself! She was so responsive, understanding and kind throughout the whole process of the initial consultation, choosing a script, making sure our vows were in order, and any extra quirks/personal touches we could have ever wanted for our ceremony. And at the actual ceremony...wow. What a perfect balance of professionalism and nurturing care. She was fantastic when it came down to getting us ready for the big moment, going over the process, and even making little suggestions on how to class things up in the eyes of friends and family (she gave me, the groom, a tissue to keep on hand in case I needed to wipe away my wife's tears of joy during the ceremony...never would have thought of this otherwise!). Toni was clear and well-spoken during her part of the ceremony and did an incredible job of leading the whole production. I couldn't believe what great hands were in. Toni, thank you so much!!! We will be reaching out to you when we need you for the next big event!

    Toni was wonderful in officiating my wedding. My father in law praised and loved when she put in her own words of wisdom. Now let me tell you, my father in law is not a mushy type of person so for him to say how her words had a great affect on him really spoke volumes of her being there. I highly recommend Toni. It will surely put your mind at ease with the stress of planning a wedding having Toni there.

    Toni was the best! We were from out of town, so she first met with us via Skype to get to know us. We exchanged several emails, and then met in person to tailor our ceremony. She was able to help us come up with something as unique as we are. :) On the day of the ceremony, she kept everyone calm and moving along. Everything was perfect - we laughed, we cried, and we GOT MARRIED! Definitely recommend.

    Toni was an excellent officiant! We're so thankful we booked her for our wedding. She was extremely professional and responsive in the time leading up to our wedding day. She made sure we felt confident and comfortable with everything regarding our ceremony. We had a lot of freedom and options in tailoring our ceremony and we never felt judged or pushed in any direction. Her goal was to make the ceremony exactly how we wanted! We definitely received that:) On our wedding day she officiated a really special ceremony and I was even more moved by our ceremony experience then I expected to be. I would highly recommend Toni to any couple and I'm confident she'll provide a special and customized experience!

    I cannot recommend Toni Maddi enough, she assisted me through the whole process of writing the vows to helping on my wedding day. She is very calm and listens to your needs and wants. She helped make my ceremony personal and gave me recommendations whenever I was at a standstill. She catches the attention of the audience and the guests at my wedding even said how great she was. I would highly recommend going with Toni, she is the best!

    Toni was absolutely amazing! We had actually contacted her when our first officiant couldn't do our ceremony. We only had 3 weeks until the wedding and she made the process so easy. Everyone commented how beautiful and personal the ceremony was.
