Erika is the Best of the Best!

Reverend Erika was a perfect choice for our wedding! Right away she made us feel cared for, calm, and loved. This continued and grew with every step of the way, through our big day, and even afterwards! She was an absolute joy to work with. Erika really gets to know who both of you are, makes sure to include all of your preferences and aspirations, and will work with you so that each and every part of the ceremony fits exactly what you’re both looking for. She creates a very unique and special ceremony and goes out of her way to make sure that it’s the wedding that you’ve always dreamed about. Alongside with everything being perfect, Erika just glows with good vibes, happiness and love. We could not have been happier!

Erika is, simply put, phenomenal.

Where do I even begin with our experience with Erika? We knew right from our first virtual call that Erika was going to bring energy, authenticity, and peace of mind to our wedding ceremony. She is professional, kind, coordinated, enthusiastic, reassuring, and a true light. She without a doubt took our wedding ceremony to the next level and she did so with ease. Here is a sample of what some of our guests had to say: Erika is “amazing”, “engaging”, “enthusiastic”, “very smooth and organized”, “I was very, very very impressed”, “Erika was such a great choice”, “so organized”, “I want to hire her myself!”, “She is even more than an officiant”. You will not regret hiring Erika, and you should do so promptly and with confidence that she will provide expert guidance to craft a ceremony even more special than you could possibly imagine.

A Real Pro

Working with Erika was an absolute joy from start to finish. Since we were planning a tiny wedding we debated whether to hire a professional officiant, and we are so glad that we chose Erika. Writing a wedding ceremony is a daunting task, but with her guidance it felt natural and easy. She helped us create a ceremony that felt customized and true to us, listening to our input at every stage. We loved her process of starting with multiple options for each step of the ceremony and then tailoring them until they felt right. She was also excellent on the day of. She was kind but firm with our parents and made sure that our wishes were carried out. Her gentle guidance throughout the ceremony allowed us to be fully relaxed and present as we didn’t have to worry about what to say or do next. We cannot recommend Erika highly enough. If you hire Erika you can be assured that your ceremony is in good hands.

Rev Erika rocks!! Highly recommend

My wife and I had a great experience working with Erika. She made us feel comfortable and in good hands on our wedding day. All of our guests thought the ceremony was beautiful and Erika helped create that with her organization and oration. Highly recommend!

10 out of 10 would recommend

Erika is a master of her craft. She is timely, professional and heartfelt. After our initial meeting we knew we needed to hire her for our ceremony as she already has us getting teary eyed. Erika met with us on Zoom/Facetime numerous times over the year leading up to our wedding. She incorporated our story in a genuine way and suggested a beautiful ring warming ceremony that we treasured. Erika emphasized a rehearsal which helped to ease our angest. Look no further and hire Erika. (photos from Molly Breton & Co)

The best choice you can make!

Anyone in the process of planning for a wedding knows how difficult it can be just to get people to respond to you. From the beginning, Rev. Erika was incredibly punctual responding to my queries and setting up our initial meeting.

My fiancée and I were so impressed during that initial meeting, we knew that if we went with anyone else, we'd be settling for less. This hunch was proven time and time again as we worked with Rev. Erika to craft our ceremony. She is extremely attentive to detail, approaches the process with humor, grace, and experience that will allay the most nervous folks.

We're proud of the ceremony we've crafted with Rev. Erika, and feel that it's truly unique to us while being sensitive to the breadth of our guests' backgrounds and beliefs. Her communication has remained consistent and clear over the several months we've been working with her; working with her has been effortless.

Her prices are higher than others – and for good reason, I think. I don't know about you, but I'd rather spend a little more and get something that's really high quality, than try and be thrifty and settle for something that "mostly" works. If you're on the fence about your officiant, let me help you out: you're making a mistake if you don't go Rev. Erika Hewitt.

A true godsend

It was difficult to try to find an officiant for us. We both come from very catholic families that had expectations that we do not share.

We knew this was a perfect fit after our first video chat with Erika. She brought a more spiritual rather than religious focus to our ceremony which was perfect to say the least. Every guest I spoke to was so impressed with the ceremony she designed around us.

She made it a point to check in before the ceremony, to ask how she could be helpful, and she definitely was! We couldn't have done this without her!

Incredible Officiant - Felt Like a Family Friend!

My review is just one voice in a choir of positive reviews, so the bottom line is: Rev. Erika Hewitt is a SOLID 10/10. My husband and I hired Erika to officiate our microceremony at Acadia National Park. We are from Tennessee, so we really dug through the Internet to find someone who fit what we were looking for. We combed through pages of reviews and vetted several officiants to find our right fit. We inquired about Erika's services and had an initial meeting about what she was able to offer us. Immediately, we knew Erika was the officiant for us. Our initial meeting felt like we were talking to a family friend we had known for years. Throughout the next few months, Erika worked with us to craft the perfect ceremony for us. We were able to sort through different templates of text that we best liked for our ceremony. That helped make our ceremony unique and personal. We were able to ues the spiritual language we preferred most - Erika was great at leading conversations with to better understand our spiritual comfort level. Over time, we had a few Zoom meetings that led us to wedding week. We held a rehearsal the day before the wedding, which initially we were not interested in having when we hired Erika. I thought "ohh, we're having a microceremony...that's not necessary." Erika strongly suggested it and after working through logistics of the ceremony, we decided to have one and it was 100% necessary. On the day of the ceremony, we felt well prepared for what we needed to say, how our guests would stand around us, and how the ceremony would flow. Erika made us feel like our tiny ceremony was incredibly special and unique to us. Our guests were such an important part of our day and she made them feel important, too! I know everyone values different things about their wedding day, so I will end by saying that if your ceremony is one of the most important things to you, you should absolutely work with Erika for your wedding day.

Wow! What an unforgettable experience!

Erika was unbelievable. At first we questioned her pricing, wondering why she was higher than others but very quickly understood and appreciated the absolutely priceless experience. Even though it is you and your partner making this giant commitment, we felt like it was really a 3 person experience and so finding the perfect officiant was our number one priority. Since we had a destination wedding, we struggled with the idea of someone officiating us that we didn't know or that didn't know us. From our first meeting, we felt heard and seen - Erika was genuinely interested in getting to know us and allowing us to get to know her. After many zoom calls and emails discussing every detail of the ceremony and working through Prepare/Enrich, by the time we finally met in person, at the rehearsal, we felt like we'd know her for years. Our ceremony was so special, every attendee complimented her message, the vows we three curated, and her ability to create such a sacred space! The whole experience with Erika was one we will never forget and made our wedding so much more special! Words will never be able to express our gratitude towards Erika and her process.

Wonderful and so personal!

We adored Erika. From the beginning, she made sure that our small family ceremony was truly about us. We were in Maryland, so we had several Facetime calls where she really made an effort to get to know us as a couple and what our vision was. She worked with us to craft the ceremony that we wanted, and went above and beyond to learn the stories behind everything (my great grandmothers engagement ring, the Velveteen Rabbit reading we chose, our family members' names and relation to each other). Everything was wonderful. Especially during COVID, and when it rained until 15 minutes before the ceremony, Erika worked with us to make sure that it was everything we wanted. Couldn't recommend more highly!

Pick Erika, she is the best!!

Erika conducted our ceremony at Stage Neck Inn in York Maine, May 2019. We were both tremendously impressed with Erika. My wife and I interviewed her, got off the phone, and immediately said yes to each other. I was most impressed by how well that Erika listened. I’m not religious, my wife was raised Catholic but is more spiritual now. Erika worked to understand what we wanted from a ceremony. We were able to craft most of our ceremony with help and understanding. I felt like it was about creating the day and wedding that we wanted. I’m so thankful for that. In particular, we did a ring warming and were very careful about language around god and the universe. Erika was caring and professional during both our rehearsal and ceremony. The ceremony really conveyed a lot of love and warmth, and we got so many comments and compliments on having her as our officiant. We wholeheartedly recommend Erika to other couples.

Perfect Officiant!

Erika was nothing short of amazing! She spent time getting to know us prior to the wedding via video calls and then we met in person to discuss the wedding and our mutual values. She is so easy to talk to and offers really great pre-wedding advice that helps ease the stress of planning a wedding. When it came to planning the ceremony, Erika was organized and thoughtful. She provides couples with a wedding packet to help determine how you want your ceremony to go. She customizes the ceremony based on your responses to questions and crafts the perfect ceremony for you. So many guests came up to us after our wedding to say that she was exactly what they wish they had had for their wedding. She is friendly, thoughtful, caring, and all around amazing. We highly recommend booking her for your wedding!

Created a Sacred Space

We are so grateful to Rev. Erika Hewitt for creating the sacred space she did for our Wedding. Even before the big day, she was so enjoyable and easy to collaborate with! She encouraged our ceremony and vows to reflect our wishes and style, helped with the planning, while making sure we were confident during the rehearsal so the day-of went seamless, which it did. What really made the ceremony special was Erika’s presence, endearing words, and the way she conveyed what brought all of us together that day—where several guests specifically mentioned how in awe they were of the way Rev. Hewitt conducted the ceremony. She also uses a microphone which (after attending several weddings where the officiant didn’t) is one of the little but important details she doesn’t miss—it speaks to her attention to detail and making sure the ceremony is the experience it should be for all of your guests. If we ever renew our vows for fun in the future, I would ask Erika to join us again, that’s how much we loved having her on our special day!! Thank you for everything!

I don't even know where to begin! Before you keep reading, just go book her!!! From the very beginning, Erika was amazing. My husband and I knew we wanted our ceremony to be special. We were not getting married in a church and do not go to church on a regular basis; however, we knew we wanted something more than a family member or friend. We wanted it to be meaningful and sacred. We met with Erika via FaceTime and also in person. She provided us with an outline of various ways we could go with our ceremony. Both my husband and I went through the packet, and we decided on what we liked best. Erika helped us create a ceremony that was unique to us. On the day of the rehearsal and day of the wedding, I felt completely at ease because I knew Erika was in control. She told our wedding party exactly what was going to happen and how it was going to happen. Our ceremony was absolutely beautiful. It was personalized, meaningful, and loving. I can't tell you how many of our guests told us it was one of the best ceremonies they had ever been to. They were thrilled by her energy and presence. There is a reason why Erika has all 5 star reviews! If I could give her 10, I would. I know we will continue to stay in touch with Erika. She is the BEST. oh, PS... during the final week of wedding planning, I was talking with my videographer about our officiant. She said "oh my God! I didn't know Erika was going to be your officiant! You are so lucky! She is so amazing. If I were to get married, I would absolutely use her!" This made me feel so happy when I heard this. This is exactly what I will say to people when I hear they are working with Erika. Love, Megan & Jason

Erika was amazing. I loved her writing so I knew she was good, but seeing her officiate for us live—she's really good. Our families raved about her afterwards. I think what makes her so special is that she feels the language, breathes life into it, and is so anchored in that moment that she facilitates everyone else being present--stopping what can be a hectic time to appreciate the reverence and joy of the occasion.

Erika was wonderful and exactly what we were looking for. She was extremely easy to work with, I think she really took the time to get to know us as a couple and figure out what we really needed for our ceremony. Everything was adopted to what we had asked for, I felt we had a lot of freedom in designing the overall feel of the ceremony and really making it our own. Couldn't be happier!

What’s not to love? She’s fun, engaging, and she radiates joy, authenticity and life itself. Erika was unquestionably the right choice for us. She personalized our experience in every imaginable way. Our day would not—I repeat—would NOT—have been the same without her. We eloped in October and with only a few weeks notice, we knew from our first Skype session that she was going to be a great fit. More than anything, we wanted the focus on the meaning of our relationship and the bond into which we were entering, and she found a way to make it feel like she had known us forever and she helped us “create” a ceremony experience that truly represented who we are together. She helped make it much less overwhelming with the options she provided, but because it was so customizable, by the end it still felt very much like our own. My spouse told everyone, even though he knew basically what was coming next in the ceremony, Erika made it come alive and he was transfixed by her. It was the best of both worlds. We were able to tie ourselves to the words and experience we all helped to create in advance and when the day came, we were able to truly BE in that moment and EXPERIENCE it. I can’t say enough about how important Erika was to making our day sacred, meaningful, and significant in all the ways that spoke to us. With deep thanks. We highly recommend her and are thankful to Nora McCormack from S/P films for referring us to her.

We were so incredibly fortunate to have found Erika for our ceremony. We had some ideas about what we wanted and did not want for a wedding ceremony, but there is no way that they would have come to fruition without Erika's ideas and guidance. She helped us to incorporate creative ideas that allowed us to have a ceremony that felt intimate and unique and all of our family commented on her incredible, warm presence and loving, laid back vibes. Her willingness to meet with us ahead of time helped us to discuss and flesh out our ideas and we felt incredibly comfortable with her on our big day despite not meeting face-to-face until then. Thank you, Erika, for your incredibly thoughtful work with us!

Oh my goodness, where do I even beginning?! Rev. Erika is the BEST!! She was recommended by our venue and she was the only minister that my husband and I reached out to doing our search. We reviewed her website and had a video meeting with her. By the end of that meeting, we both knew we had found our minister for our big day, without question! She made the process so easy but so detailed that we were able to customize our entire ceremony with ease. My husband and I had absolutely no idea where to begin or how to begin planning our ceremony. We were so grateful that Rev. Erika sent us a packet that had multiple different options for us to select for every part of the ceremony. We were able to pick and choose exactly what we wanted in order to make the ceremony completely ours. The day after our wedding, I had multiple wedding guest and family members express to me how amazing they thought Rev. Erika was during our ceremony! We could not have asked for anyone better to officiant our special day!

Erika was our wedding officiant on September 9, 2017. Being far away living in New York, we met via Skype. We immediately felt at ease with her manner. She listened carefully to us and cheerfully and succinctly explained her process to us. She made it clear that the fit was the most important. We did not feel rushed as she listened to our vision and perspective and even graciously allowed me to prattle on about our background and genesis story for a long while (I can get a little excited). After our conversation, for no other reason than the good vibes we felt, we ended up emailing Erika fifteen minutes later to ask her to work with us.
At the start of the planning process Erika provided information and materials to help us develop a sense of format for the ceremony and the wording we could use. It enabled us to outline what we really wanted to say and the general feeling we wanted to create. Two and a half months out from the wedding we met with Erika in person. We were impressed that Erika set aside a number of hours just to meet us and clarify the details and expectations of the ceremony.
For the wedding weekend, Erika attended and conducted our rehearsal with our wedding party. What we really appreciated from Erika was her ability to capture the attention of all present and impress upon them directives that we had previously discussed with her (e.g. specific procedures and positioning, and no phones/cameras during the ceremony). This freed us up to relax knowing that she communicated our wishes to everyone without equivocation.
During the ceremony, she was bright-eyed and spoke with a gentle but unmistakeable gravity. She incorporated all aspects of the procedural elements we had asked, and even had everyone laughing recounting my proposal story.
Three weeks later we are still hearing feedback from friends and family gushing about Erika and the ceremony.
Erika really helped us create something special and real. Can't thank her enough.

We cannot even begin to express how happy we were working with Erika. From beginning to end she exceeded our expectations and made us feel like we were the only couple in the world. She was professional, caring, upbeat and well versed. She was always in constant communication with us and made sure we stayed on task leading up to and on the big day. Without a doubt our ceremony would have not been as special and loving as it was without her. She not only created the perfect ceremony that reflected me and my husband, she presented it in a way that made all of our guests feel connected. Our guests themselves could also not stop complementing on how well our ceremony was and we know that it all stemmed from Erika. Without a doubt or hesitation we would highly recommend Erika. She is absolutely one of a kind.

When planning our wedding we knew we wanted an intimate and personal occasion. We searched for an officiant who would create the personalized, warm ceremony that we had envisioned-- and we found her!! Rev. Erika Hewitt was a pleasure to work with from start to finish(organized, prompt, so friendly...) but most of all, made us and our guests feel so comfortable and celebrated on our wedding day. Erika is a natural public speaker and her passion for what she does was evident during our ceremony. During the planning process she allowed us to customize any aspect of the ceremony, made sure we were comfortable with all of the language used, and was completely open to any special requests we had. In the end, we had one of the most memorable, happy occasions of our lives. We highly recommend Rev. Erika Hewitt!

We couldn't be happier having Rev. Erika Hewitt officiate our wedding! From the very moment we reached out over email, to video chats over Skype, meeting in person, and the actual Rehearsal and Ceremony, Erika was incredibly friendly, inclusive, and organized, and she always made us feel at ease about planning. Erika is super detail oriented and truly cares about making every moment, every word reflect our specific feelings about love and marriage, and she always took our guests into consideration (but never put their preferences over our own). To start planning our ceremony, she sent us a massive template with tons of wording options for each section and a bunch of optional sections, and she encouraged us to modify anything with our personal touches or use our own ideas to make a completely custom ceremony. Picking up details from our conversations, she even crafted the story of our relationship and shared all these special moments with our friends and family. Erika expertly blended heart, passion, levity, spirituality, personality, past and future into a ceremony that left more than a few of our guests in tears. Thanks to Erika, our ceremony was perfect!

Words simply can not express how grateful we are for choosing Erika to be our wedding officiant. Upon our first interaction, we immediately knew that she was the perfect person to officiate our wedding. Her unequalled calming attitude combined with meticulous professionalism allowed for us to be stress free throughout the whole wedding process. She was immensely thorough with her preparation and took the time to graciously learn about us as a couple and our families. During the ceremony, Erika's delivery was flawless. Her unwavering compassionate demeanor had everyone in the moment and there was not a dry eye in the house. Countless attendees approached us after the wedding and we are still receiving calls from people professing how wonderful of a job she did and how beautiful she made the ceremony. We are truly fortunate and blessed to have Erika be part of our day. She is a wonderful and caring human being who should receive nothing less than praise for her work! I fully recommend her to be your future officiant, you will not be sorry!

Erika is nothing short of incredible! From our first FaceTime meeting with her we knew that we wanted her to officiate our ceremony. We loved that we could personalize our ceremony and Erika was very helpful when it came to making the final decisions. When we finally met Erika (on our wedding day, moments before our ceremony) she had such a happy, warm, calming presence all of our worries faded away. We were a little nervous as we chose not to have a rehearsal but Erika assured us everything would go smoothly and that we would recognize her cues for our parts and she was right. Our ceremony was so beautifully done and we couldn't be happier that we chose Erika to be a part of our wedding and would highly recommend her to be a part of your big day!

Rev. Erika was absolutely amazing! There are not enough words to explain how much beauty and love she pours into her ceremonies and clients. We had so many comments about how wonderful she was from our guests after the ceremony. People from all denominations and backgrounds appreciated her words. We also did a 2-hr premarital counseling with Rev. Erika which was very helpful and encouraging. She personalizes each and every part of your ceremony to fit you as a couple and your needs. She was able to make it spiritual for us and not too religious to make it uncomfortable for others or not religious enough for some, as much as that can make sense. It was PERFECT. Rev.

Reverend Erica was the perfect choice to officiate our special day. We really wanted to make our ceremony special and Erika definitely made this happen! She was very relaxed and flexible during the planning process, which helped take the stress out of it. She took a very personalized approach to helping us prepare, took time to learn our story and make our ceremony unique to us, meaningful and an event to remember. She was very organized, passionate and exuberant about helping us tie the knot - all of our wedding guests agreed that it was a fantastic ceremony, thanks to Erika. The rehearsal was super well run by Erika as well. I highly recommend her!!!

Erika was great to work with! One of the things we enjoyed the most was the ability to personalize our ceremony using Erika's input, feedback and options. The ceremony turned out beautiful and we received so many compliments about how inclusive and unique it was. Aside from pleasing our guests, we have the memories of a truly special and personal ceremony that we will remember forever!

There aren't enough words to express the gratitude we have for Erika. She is beyond amazing! We planned a destination wedding, planning everything via phone and email. Ten days before our wedding, we found ourselves without an officiant, despite having hired a different person several months in advance, and I was completely stressed. That's when we found Erika. She has a calmness about her that immediately eased all the worry I had about the position we were in. She jumped right in with emails, did a video chat, asked us plenty of questions and ultimately planned a beautiful ceremony for us, beyond what I could have ever imagined. She even went out of her way to accommodate our wedding date and time. A simple thank you does not seem enough to express our gratitude.

Erika helped us make sure that the most important part of our wedding day -- the whole reason we were all there! -- was perfect.

We had been toying with the idea of asking a close friend to officiate our wedding, because we wanted to ceremony to feel personal. But after our first conversation with Erika we knew she was the right choice -- not only was she an experienced professional, she was warm and genuine.

Erika helped us create a unique and meaningful ceremony that spoke to us as a couple -- and our friends and family noticed. Every virtual meeting we had with Erika was a joy -- like dialing up an old friend. And that same feeling radiated through our ceremony. I can't even count the number of people who came up to as during the reception to ask how we had found Erika and compliment the wonderful job she had done. Some said it was best wedding ceremony they had ever witnessed!

We wouldn't change a single thing about her experience with Erika and feel truly lucky to have been able to work with her!

Even though Erica and we never met in person before our event, she was still able to create a very personalized ceremony for us. Her flexibility made it possible to find appointments to skype with each other despite a time difference of at least 6 hours (sometimes more).
It's not just our comfort with the way the ceremony took place, but also our guests - from Germany and the US - assured us that they thought that she had a very heartily, warmly and personal way of dealing with us.
We will try to meet her next time we travel to the US and hope to see her whenever she travels to Germany! She's always welcome in our home!

Erika was a huge part of what made our day as magical as it was. She is without a doubt, a beautiful soul inside and out. She guided us through the ceremony process, taking time to get to know us on Skype calls along the way. She even learned the names of our three dogs and made the ceremony one that was unique to who we are as a couple. Our ceremony was captivating, clean, professional, personal, and absolute perfection. We would not have chosen anyone else in the world and are elated to have had Erika as the person to make our marriage a memorable occasion for all who attended. Thank you from the bottom of both our hearts!

Erika is definitely worth the money. She caters exactly to your needs for the ceremony to be just like you want. We decided to go with a Unitarian Universalist officiant, since I was raised from a jewish / protestant family and as a result went to a UU church growing up. My wife however was raised methodist. With this minor difference, neither of us are serious church-goers at the moment. However we both wanted to incorporate a form of spirituality in to the wedding ceremony. Erika beautifully customized everything to what we wanted, with plenty of options to offer for spiritual incorporation. She shared with us plenty of options for phrasing we would like her to use, during the ceremony, when speaking. Also examples and pre-written options for each of us to use for stating our vows to one another. In her sermon she told the story of how we met, based on both of our individual answers to multiple questions she had us fill out. The end result was a story of them beautifully woven together by her. One thing we totally did not expect, was that after the wedding we received this beautiful picture frame in the mail from her as a gift!

I've been meaning to write a review for Erika since our wedding on October 1st and, to be honest, I kept procrastinating because I couldn't find the words to describe how incredible she was.

My husband and I live in Michigan but were married in Maine. Having a destination wedding is tough for a lot of reasons but one major concern was making sure that our ceremony was personal and representative of who we are. Mike reached out to Erika after we read all of her amazing reviews and we feel so thankful that she was available to officiate our wedding.

My favorite thing about Erika is that she totally gets that weddings are stressful and does literally everything in her power to help couples be at ease leading up to the wedding. We video chatted with Erika several times ahead of the wedding she could get to know us, but she left it completely up to our schedules. We also had the opportunity to completely customize the ceremony details. Erika made planning the ceremony a really fun and easy experience.

Erika genuinely enjoys learning about the couples she works with and it really showed on the day of our wedding. We had guest after guest coming up to ask asking how long we had known Erika for because she did such a phenomenal job telling our story and making our guests feel welcome. We just got pictures back a few weeks ago and every time our family has seen a photo of Erika, they comment on how amazing she is.

If you're looking for an officiant who is warm, kind, and will treat you, your fiancé and your guests like family, I couldn't recommend Erika more.

Erika provided a wonderful service for our non-denominational wedding and we recommend her whole-heartedly for your wedding in Maine! Erika was easy to be in contact with, a delight to work with, and professional and savvy in helping us to craft our perfect ceremony. The service itself was personal and intimate yet reverential, and we were very happy to have chosen Erika to create the proper feeling of celebratory yet meaningful and serious joyousness we wanted to share with our friends and family.

We couldn’t be more pleased with our wedding officiant, Reverend Erika Hewitt. Through the planning process, during the rehearsal and on the big day, Erika was an upbeat, consummate professional. My husband is of Christian faith and had difficulty finding an officiant he was comfortable with, as he is not currently a member of any particular church. I am less religious than my husband - I wanted him to have the aspects of faith in the ceremony he desired but I hoped for someone who could also incorporate diversity into the proceedings. After initial contact, Erika was immediately responsive and set up a Facetime meeting. She was receptive to our wishes and assured us she could create a ceremony catered to our specific requests. She explained she would be in contact as much or as little as we desired and she held true to that statement. Our summer of planning flew by and it wasn't until shortly before the wedding we contacted her again to finalize vows. She was again immediately available to answer questions and assist. She provided a comprehensive breakdown of vow options and we used them to create the ceremony we dreamed of. Erika was generous with her time. We requested to meet in person to review vows line by line - a tall order! She was happy to meet us and was helpful and reassuring throughout the meeting.

At our ceremony rehearsal, Erika was organized, efficient and insightful. Our wedding party gushed about how incredible Erika was at explaining and demonstrating exactly how things would go the next day.

On the day of our wedding, my mother said it best when she said "Erika had so much joy in her eyes while she conducted your ceremony." It felt as if we were married by one of our oldest, dearest friends. She smiled sincerely, spoke articulately and projected beautifully. Our guests continue to sing praises about how wonderful Erika was.

We will highly recommend Reverend Erika Hewitt to anyone searching for a wedding officiant.

Erika is an amazing person, who made our wedding day one we will never forget. We engaged Erika to be the officiant of our wedding, but she became so much more to us. Primarily Erica became a dear friend to us, who helped us in the making of important decisions about the ceremony. She really got to know us and guide us to have the best ceremony possible. We both wanted a ceremony that was both spiritual, but also inclusive to the diversity that was represented by our guest list. The majority of the guests at our wedding told us it was the best ceremony they had ever heard. We appreciated her advice, guidance, and suggestions to make our ceremony special to US. We hope in the future we will be invited to a wedding that Erika is performing the ceremony. We are truly grateful to have her in our life - now and forever!

If you want your wedding ceremony to be the most intimate, thoughtful, and joy filled experience look no further than Reverend Hewitt. She truly listens, connects and helps to tailor your vows so they reflect you and your soon to be spouse in the most honest and flawless way. We could not have asked for a better officiant and our guests were absolutely blown away by her eloquence and energy. Erika is truly a unique and lovely person and will without a doubt do a fantastic job officiating your special ceremony . The worst part was saying goodbye to her after our ceremony was through!! Thank you Erika for everything- our day was beyond magical largely because of you! - Abby & Mat

Finding an officiant for your reception is a really big deal. They are the person who will guide you and your partner through one of the most special and personal times in your life. It’s hard to find someone that you you feel comfortable doing that with. That’s why my wife and I feel so lucky that we found Erika to officiate our wedding.

We spent a lot of time looking for an officiant, but when we first Facetimed with Erika, we knew that she would be perfect! In the time between meeting Erika and our ceremony, we emailed a few times to talk about the ceremony, and Facetimed once again to finalize. She worked with us to create the ceremony that would be meaningful for us and our guests, personalizing the language to be everything we hoped for.

Erika showed up before the ceremony to spend some time with us and make sure that everything was in order paperwork-wise. Before and after the ceremony she mingled with our family, and it felt so natural to have her there.

Before the ceremony started, she asked our guests to please keep their phones away - something which afterwards everyone said how nice it was to have a technology-free ceremony. For us, we really appreciated that she did it before we were standing in front of everyone.

The ceremony felt completely comfortable for us. Erika was professional yet allowed us to have fun, smiling with us and helping us to focus on each other and celebrate the event.

Erika did an amazing job creating our story to share with our families, combining answers that we both privately submitted into a beautiful narrative that helped bring everyone together for the moment to celebrate our marriage. For us, and for our families that had heard our stories before, this was a really special moment.

Now, we can’t imagine how the ceremony would have gone without Erika as our officiant.

Erika understood us. From the first time we met with her, we knew she was the missing piece of the ceremony that we were looking for. We had toiled around with the idea of having a friend marry us, but the details and process she spoke about sealed the deal; her calming nature and experience was reassuring to us. Erika sent us a series of different ceremony options and we reviewed and selected, after which it seemed as if our wedding was more real.

Erika also worked with us on pre-marital counseling. She was a true professional during this session, she thoughtfully reviewed our pre-work results and had talking points and suggestions for us. We’ve been together for almost 8 years and still found the counseling process to be very informative and essential in prepping us for marriage.

Now on to the best part, the ceremony! Erika arrived to our wedding venue and despite not meeting in person yet, we felt like one of our closest friends had just arrived. She had a huge smile on her face and gave us a big hug. The ceremony itself was everything and more; tailored to us, each aspect of the ceremony was poignant and significant. Many of our guests continue to remark about how the ceremony was the most meaningful and unique wedding ceremonies they’ve seen and we couldn’t agree more. Erika was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and we’d choose her over and over again. Thank you Erika for being such an important part of our day!

We can't say enough good about Erika! She took the time to interview us twice, listened carefully to us and made it all into a unique and relevant wedding ceremony that we feel was a true reflection of our values, spiritual and otherwise. Erika guided us and helped us explore how we wanted the service to be. We received many compliments on the ceremony, in particular on Erika's conduction of it. We highly recommend her as a wedding officiant!

Erika was the absolute perfect officiant for our wedding. As soon as we talked to Erika over FaceTime we knew we had found the perfect person to marry us. Erika was an absolute pleasure to work with, professional, friendly, and fun. Our wedding couldn't have been more perfect, right from the start everything was easy and tailored to what we wanted. This was the ceremony we both had pictured and talked about. I'm glad I got a chance as Erika was leaving the venue to track her down and say thank you for how amazing our ceremony was.

My husband and I are very pleased with our decision to hire Erika Hewitt to be the officiant for our wedding on September 3rd, 2016. From the moment we first met with Erika up until after the wedding, Erika was completely engaged in making sure our ceremony was well planned and executed. Erika took the time needed to understand our story, our lives, and our needs for our ceremony which was obvious when the big day / ceremony occurred. We were pleased with Erika's ability to adapt to the venue (which she had never been to before) and with her friendly way of keeping the wedding party in-line during the rehearsal. We have been to many rehearsals in the past that were quick and vague. Erika's rehearsal was not rushed and went over every single detail so that everyone was prepared for the wedding day. After the ceremony we had several guest come up to us and ask where we had found her which is why we can also say our ceremony would not of been the same without her. We would recommend Erika to any couple who is looking for a professional and elegant wedding ceremony.

We live in Georgia and got married in Maine. Erika communicated clearly, listened to us, provided various ceremony options, suggested vendors when we were in need and officiated our wedding in a professional yet personal way. Her kind words and genuine enthusiasm leading up to and during our wedding were perfect. There are many little stresses that can occur when planning even a simple wedding so please know if you choose Erika you will not have to worry about the ceremony; she will take care of the ceremony expertly!

Reverend Erika officiated our very small wedding ceremony on August 14th 2016. She worked with us to develop a ceremony that upheld our non-traditional spiritual beliefs. My husband and I live in Florida and were unable to meet Erika face to face prior to the ceremony, but after meeting with her via Facetime, we felt very comfortable that we were making a good choice. Erika wanted to get to know who we were and about our beliefs so she could help us create a ceremony that reflected who we are as a couple and we were very happy with the result. She even helped ease the flow of the ceremony as we did not have any rehearsal prior. Erika had my husband and I answer some questions about how we met, how we knew each other was "the one," etc., and gave a small story about us, which was my favorite part of the ceremony, as it held a little surprise for both of us (she told us not to share our answers before, and now I know why)! Erika has a warm, inviting personality, is very professional, and we cannot give her enough praise for our wonderful ceremony!!

Erika is quite simply-put, AMAZING! We contacted her after having email chats with a few other officiants who we felt were very transactional. Erika's energy and magnetic personality shone through even via email. When we met her over Skype, it was clear she was the one for us. She shared some written word ceremony options for us (both spiritual and not) and let us pick the direction we wanted to go in - there was no pressure to do anything BUT what we were comfortable with (we went the spiritual, non-religious route), and she remained 100% flexible and accommodating. When we met her in person, our love at first sight was confirmed. The ceremony was thoughtful, present, and emotional - she was right in there with us, and we felt blessed to have her bring us together in marriage. I would seriously run, not walk, to snag Erika for your wedding or elopement.

I'm so glad we picked Erika to marry us. I can't tell you how many people commented on what a "great ceremony" we had - which i feel is hard to come by...she truly engaged and connected to the audience, placed emphasis on what was important, & made sure everyone was prepared for what was happening beforehand (through a well thought out rehearsal).
We planned our Maine wedding from the Boston area & from our first Skype call, we could tell she was a good fit! Charismatic, eloquent, joyful, present. She put us at ease through all the planning, and let us move at our own pace with making decisions. She provided ample guidance and options, while still allowing us to add our own ideas too. Highly recommended!

Erika was a pleasure to work with from the first time we spoke with her and leading up to the wedding itself. She spent a lot of time with us to ensure our ceremony would be exactly what we were hoping to be. She has a unique way of being able to develop connections with us and our guests which made our ceremony feel more intimate and personal.

She is a fantastic addition to anyones ceremony and we are so happy we chose her to be a part of our special day.

When it came to planning our wedding ceremony, we knew what we wanted in our hearts, but did not know where to begin or how to actually translate that feeling into a program. From our first meeting with Erika she was able to immediately put us at ease, and helped us craft a ceremony that completely represented us, our love for each other, and the love of our family and friends. Her attention to detail in every aspect of the ceremony before, during, and after the wedding day is impeccable. She is incredibly professional and is a comfortable leader, while at the same time making communication extremely easy and open. We received countless compliments regarding the beauty and inclusiveness of our ceremony from our guests, and Erika made it a moment in time that we will treasure the rest of our lives. We highly recommend Erika for her obvious passion and devotion to celebrating the miracle of love.

I would highly recommend Rev. Erika to anyone in need of an officiant! She was the best decision we made, our wedding wouldn't have been the same without her. Erika was great to work with and really took the time to fine-tune a ceremony to fit our exact needs and wishes. We nearly had a friend officiate our ceremony, but in hindsight you cannot underestimate the experience and expertise that someone like Erika has in this department.
She is very eloquent and poised in person, this presence allows her to deliver a wonderful, unique ceremony that you'll remember forever and that your guests will be raving about. She is totally caring and totally professional. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found and worked with her!

Choosing Erika as our officiant was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We both have Catholic backgrounds, but are not as religious as our families and had our hearts set on an outdoor wedding. She incorporated our values into the ceremony and balanced it with the expectations of our families. I also came in from a Filipino background and wanted to include some of our traditions (veil, cord and coins). Erika was very open to the idea, even did some research on her own, and executed it beautifully, placing it in the perfect place in the ceremony.

We planned most of it from afar in Boston, but met with Erika once before the ceremony and it made all the difference. Friday before the wedding was incredibly stressful for us, but when we saw Erika right before the rehearsal, we immediately relaxed. She orchestrated the smoothest rehearsal for us and our huge wedding party with ease. The ceremony went beautifully and really was an amazing reflection of us and our relationship and values and we wouldn't have had it any other way. Our families, including my strict Catholic parents, were thanking her for an amazing job well done. She was absolutely fantastic, and a huge reason our ceremony was everything we ever hoped it would be.

Erika recently officiated our very unique wedding, she did it with flexibilty, open-mindedness and style! We had a blast planning the event with Erika, she met with us at home over tea and made a potentially awkward situation comfortable. I knew we had made the right choice with her when she spent one visit on our kitchen floor loving up our golden retriever as we edited and finalized our vows. She embraced our concept of simplicity and our idea about wanting to be outside in a special place-even when it included a hike through the woods in some less than ideal weather conditions! We appreciated Erika's guidance and advice on logistics; greatly admired was her positive attitude and how her big bright smile energized the day!

Erika lead a beautiful wedding ceremony for us this fall and we are so happy that she was a part of our planning and our wedding day! Our entire experience working with Erika was very positive - we had fun talking with her about ideas for our wedding, she was very responsive through all stages of our planning, and she did a wonderful job of creating a sacred space around us with our friends and family during our outdoor ceremony. Many of our guests later told us that the ceremony she lead was one of the most special wedding ceremonies that they had witnessed. We definitely recommend working with Erika if you have the opportunity!

Erika was the officiant at our wedding. She did an excellent job! Me and my husband have different beliefs and she was able to bring the two together in the ceremony, or use wording that we both felt comfortable with. She skyped with us on several occasions and we went through several drafts of the ceremony. She provided me with A LOT of material and suggestions for the ceremony. When we weren't sure what to do for something she always had a helpful suggestion. I would recommend doing a rehearsal with her, even though it is quick it helped a lot and she brought up things we didn't think of. I would highly recommend her! so kind and helpful!

Erika is a wonder. We found her solely from recommendations on Wedding Wire after I spent hours searching for an officiant who could provide a spiritual ceremony, without being too heavy-handed on "God", someone who believes in what we believe in (the shared humanity of all people and marriage equality for all) and someone who could help us craft a ceremony that was personal, meaningful and full of love. I narrowed my search down to two UU ministers, and from our first Skype meeting, we knew Erika was the officiant for us. She's an incredible human, first off, warm, caring, whip-smart and thoughtful. She's genuinely interested in who you are as a couple, and helped us craft a ceremony that seems like it was written from your own heart. I loved that we were able to participate in the development of the ceremony, and we always felt like she just "got" us (especially since my husband and I are not incredibly demonstrative with our love and affection!). The ceremony itself was magnificent. Erika just draws you in. We, along with our guests, were truly present for the ceremony -- engaged and involved, sharing in such a momentous event in our lives. I cannot thank her enough for being the person standing with my now husband and I as we said "I do".

Erika is an incredible officiant. From our first meeting, her warmth and experience put us at ease and throughout out the process she was extremely responsive and attuned to exactly what type of feeling we wanted to create. At the ceremony, the sense of calm pervaded the room, and even though we were nervous, we felt confident and relaxed in knowing she would handle any hiccup that may arise. Our guests were deeply moved and incredibly impressed by her ability to “hold the space” and create a feeling of inclusive spirituality. We are so grateful for all her guidance and feel lucky she was with us during such an important moment in our lives. We highly recommend Rev. Erika to any couple!

Let’s start with this: if you are here looking for an officiant who is warm and welcoming, insightful and engaging, a wonderful public speaker and someone who will help make your wedding day really perfect… you’re done! Looking back we cannot imagine our ceremony coming together so perfectly without Erika.

Having an officiant with gravitas, someone who could help communicate the weight and meaning of our commitments, was a high priority for us. Our friends and families range from fervent evangelicals to ardent atheists. Her charisma really kept everyone engaged (no small feat, given her crowd). We even had two complete strangers attend (friends of friends) who were brought to tears by her! Surely that is a sign of a fantastic officiant!

From the very beginning Erika was warm, communicative and so incredibly perceptive. She is a wonderful listener! Our friends and family were shocked to learn she wasn’t an old friend or distant relation, because she took time to get to know us well and was able to share facets of our story that not even some of them knew.

Our ceremony plans were non-traditional and we wanted to be able to incorporate a lot of our own ideas. Erika was wonderfully helpful; she gave us so many options and ideas to craft the ceremony, but was also always able to give advice when we needed some direction. It was a spiritual ceremony that was truly unique to us.

We cannot recommend Erika highly enough.

Erika was fantastic! My husband and I really had no idea how to find an officiant and then we came across Erika online and instantly knew she was perfect for us. Erika gave us a lot of guidance as to how to structure our ceremony, what would fit and work based on our religious and spiritual beliefs and she made it so personal. Most of all she kept our wedding party in line and made sure they knew EXACTLY what to do. Her level of professionalism and her genuine and kind personality were perfect for us. Everyone raved about our ceremony!

Erika was wonderful to work with. We really had no idea what we wanted for the ceremony, and she made the process so easy from start to finish - and we ended up with a ceremony that was truly a representation of us and exactly what we wanted. We hadn't anticipated spending that much on our officiant, but she is worth every penny and we wouldn't have changed a single thing! Thank you Erika!

Finding an officiant was one of the last things on our wedding to-to list, and once we started looking, we quickly discovered we should have booked one far earlier in the planning process. By a stroke of luck, Erika happened to be available for our wedding date in September. Her website was very informative and even gave detailed info about her upcoming availability for the next year or so, which was quite the time-saver for us. Once we contacted Erika, she got back to us promptly. She set up a "Skype date" with us and it gave us a good glimpse as to how she operates. She explained her whole process and was not pushy about getting us to sign a contract with her. She was very flexible in her options and once we did hire her, she gave us plenty of great material to start crafting our unique ceremony.

After putting lots of thought into our preferences, we had another Skype date with Erika. Similar to many modern families, we had guests from lots of different backgrounds and beliefs. Erika was so much help in figuring out a way to make everyone feel welcome and involved! Unlike many other officiants we've seen, so is so open minded and willing to go with whatever you think works for you. She also gave us the idea for an "unplugged wedding" where she politely asks guests to put away their cell phones during the ceremony. Great idea!

Overall, my husband, our families, and I were very impressed with Erika. We feel that our ceremony really encompassed our beliefs and was heartfelt, intimate, and involved our most beloved family and friends. We'd certainly recommend her to a friend!

We found Erika online about a year before our wedding and we were incredibly lucky that she was available to officiate our wedding. We had never met Erika before our first skype meeting (because we don't live in state), but once we skyped we clicked instantly. She was so easy to talk to and everything flowed naturally, and once we met her in person at the rehearsal, we felt like she knew us so well. As far as our ceremony went, we wanted to keep it more secular in nature, but we also knew that our family would appreciate a mention of god as well, and Erika was able to pull this off perfectly. Our ceremony consisted of a lot of traditional parts, with some non-traditional bits that were important to us, as well as a few stories about us that added a very personal touch and Erika did it all beautifully. Erika allowed us to really design our own wedding, she had so many options for each section of the wedding, of which we were able to tweak to fit us personally. Once our wedding was over, we had so many friends and family members telling us how great our ceremony was, how awesome our Reverend was, and how truly impressed they were with the wedding. We would highly recommend Erika to anyone that is looking for an officiant who would perform a religious wedding, a secular wedding or a mix of both, as well as a couple who is looking for a respectable officiant who will organize the wedding as you would like it. It was the best day of our lives and we have nothing bad to say about Erika, she was amazing.

We had an absolutely amazing wedding and could not have imagined it any better. Thank you so much Erika for helping us create such a beautiful ceremony and making it come alive. Everyone that was there commented on how special it was and everyone that sees the pictures can feel how happy the occasion was. From the very beginning of working with Erika we knew we made the right choice for the Officiant of wedding. By the day of the event, it felt as if an old friend was marrying us and our familes loved her too.

Thank you Erika!!! We would do it all again tomorrow if we could and wouldn’t change a thing!!

Erika is a beautiful person inside and out. One can really see that to her, this isn't just a job, it's her passion. She goes above and beyond for her clients. Erika has a presence that makes you feel at peace and ease. She will make sure that NO ONE will ruin your moment with your partner (we eloped and had a somewhat intrusive individual who was very sweet, but was unfortunately getting in the way and Erika helped by politely asking the individual to step aside). She is professional, kind, easygoing and funny! (Basically she absolutely amazing and cool!) She pays attention to you, your story and your ceremony wishes. We didn't have family or friends with us when we eloped but Erika set the mood and we felt totally enveloped in the moment with each other and with the love from those who weren't there with us. We were so lucky we found Erika and she was available (we literally planned in a week to come from Canada to elope in Maine!). Please if you are looking at getting married, stop reading and looking around for other Officiants. Rev. Erika is exactly what you are looking for! Here, I can only try to put words down to describe the experience Rev. Erika provides. It's literally impossible.
Thank you Erika for a beautiful day and going above and beyond your duty as an officiant. With much love, forever your (Canadian ;) ) friends, Amanda and Dave.

Erika did a wonderful job bridging the gaps in our faith during our wedding ceremony. I am a Christian and my husband is agnostic. It was very important to us to have a ceremony that met both of our needs and made us, as well as our families feel comfortable. Two families, both from different backgrounds attended our wedding and everyone said it was a beautiful ceremony. Erika was extremely flexible and allowed us to make the ceremony our own, but she also gave us a nice outline to use so we had somewhere to start. We booked Erika almost a year before our wedding, and she did a great job getting to know us even though we didn’t live in the same state. We organized a few skype dates to aid us along in the planning process. We had a wedding rehearsal the day before and Erika did a great job at organizing both families and people who were in the wedding. She was a great team leader. The rehearsal helped a lot and the next morning, we felt relaxed knowing how things would go. Erika was very organized throughout the entire process. She always responded to our emails very quickly and was very pleasant to talk to. She made us feel comfortable and at ease.

Erika is a breath of fresh air, truly. My husband and I are not religious people and we were almost dreading the process of picking an officiant because of the fear that this person just wouldn't "get us" or that our ceremony would feel impersonal or overly preachy. I will say that from the moment we started talking with Erika she gave us such a sense of calm. She wants to know what you want and what will make your ceremony most meaningful to you. We were from out of state so we skyped with her on multiple occasions. She asked us questions about one another and had us review options about ceremony wording and details. The day of the ceremony she calmed everyone's nerves, and since we eloped she even helped me into my gown! She was absolutely spectacular and a pleasure to work with!!

Erika was professional, personable, energetic, and versatile. All members of my wedding party felt that she was down to earth and treated them like they had known her their whole life (actual words from the wedding party). We never met prior to the ceremony because we are from different states but we couldn't have made a more perfect choice.

Words cannot express the powerful experience that Rev. Erika Hewitt facilitated during our wedding ceremony. Her positive energetic spirit radiated throughout every interaction not only with us but also with our children, family, and friends. We felt that we were able to craft our ceremony together with her to truly reflect us as a couple. We had only 32 guests at the ceremony so the intimacy of this small gathering allowed Erika to really connect with everyone and engage our guests in the ceremony. Rather than just being a witness to our wedding, everyone shared that they truly felt a part of our ceremony. This experience was moving and truly transformative. She was prepared, comforting, engaging, positive, warm, loving, and could also be playful and spontaneous. It was everything we had dreamed of and even more. She is a beautiful person and spiritual soul that radiates love, compassion, and warmth. We will never forget this day for the rest of our lives. - Christina & Roy

Erika was an essential part of our big day. She is professional and organized, yet easy going. We were a little nervous about writing our own vows, but her suggestions and examples made it a piece of cake. We felt like the words perfectly captured what we wanted to promise each other. Our beach ceremony was simple, but genuine and sweet. Erika's bright smile and positive energy really impacted everyone - putting us at ease and pulled our families together. Meeting Erika was fortuitous and we are so grateful for having her officiate our wedding!

Erika was a joy to work with from the moment we first met on Skype nearly a year before our wedding to the big day itself. Erika knew exactly what questions to ask to get to know us and our story, and she created a meaningful ceremony that perfectly represented who we are as a couple. She always responded quickly and helpfully to any questions we had throughout the planning process. When we met in person for the first time at the rehearsal it felt like we were reuniting with an old friend. At the rehearsal, Erika was able to take control in a way that inspired confidence and allowed everyone to feel comfortable in their roles. She made a point to learn everyone’s names, and ran the rehearsal smoothly and professionally. On the day of the wedding, Erika was amazing! Her warm and positive demeanor was just what I needed to calm my nerves. The ceremony itself went beautifully. Guests came up to me and my parents throughout the reception to comment on how meaningful the ceremony had been and how much they liked Erika! We could not be happier with our choice to work with her!

My husband and I absoloutely loved Erika, we're so happy that we found her for our wedding. Throughout the planning process she sent me guides for our ceremony with different examples, and we got to mix and match our favorite parts, and add in or take out anything that we wanted. She did an amazing job at our rehearsal, she cleared up all of our questions and was very quick and efficient. I was very nervous to be up in front of so many people, and she was very calming and helpful. I've had so many people tell me how beautiful our ceremony was, and two couples who recently got married said they wished they had Erika as their officiant. We're so happy we had Erika play such an important role in our big day, she was amazing! I would highly recommend to anyone!

Working with Erika was hands down one of the best parts of our wedding. We had a beautiful location, wonderful family and friends, a great reception, and even an evening sail for everyone, and still the number one thing our guests talked about the entire day (and for days after the wedding) was how wonderful Erika was and how beautiful the ceremony had been. We both felt like we had known Erika our whole lives and our guests also seemed to think that our connection went way back—that is how personal she was able to make our ceremony feel and how easily she was able to connect with our friends and family. She brought light and love, calm and joy, and an energizing and uplifting presence to our entire day. Erika is delightful to work with and she helped us craft a ceremony that was deeply moving, artful, and inspired.

Erika did a wonderful job supporting us through our planning process and fulfilled all our hopes for our wedding ceremony. We would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone.

When my husband and I started planning our wedding, we wanted an officiant who could bring together our families from very diverse religious backgrounds. We were seeking a ceremony that would be spiritual but not religion-specific, celebrate our relationship, and allow space for all our guests along the religious spectrum to feel included. Beyond that, we had no clue what we wanted in our ceremony and felt pretty lost. Luckily, Erika put us at ease and her ceremony planning resources did all the work for us. We felt much more comfortable letting her ceremony suggestions guide us. She has a beautiful way with words and everything she suggested was so much better than we could have done ourselves!

Erika put a lot of time and care into getting to know us and our story. In particular, she immediately picked up on the dynamic of our relationship (myself, the bride, being much more outspoken than the groom!) It meant a lot to my husband that she went out of her way to make sure he felt ‘heard’ even though he was so quiet during the planning.

Erika also did a phenomenal job managing our rehearsal. She quickly took the lead and didn’t get frazzled by the mild chaos! She also did a wonderful job preparing the children in our ceremony. She was able to engage them and get them eager to do their part well. The rehearsal also gave us space to really emotionally prepare for the day—which made all the difference on the wedding day!

And finally, Erika exudes light and positivity that is absolutely infectious, our friends and family quickly became her biggest fans upon meeting her. We got so much positive feedback from our guests about how much they enjoyed the ceremony. We couldn’t be happier to have had her be a part of such a special day in our lives!

Rev. Erika Hewitt was our officiant for our wedding on May 30, 2015. I planned my Maine wedding from afar and Erika was amazing to work with, setting up Skype sessions to get to know my husband and I. When we did meet in person at rehearsal, it felt like we already knew each other. She pulled off a smooth rehearsal with a rowdy group of 12 in the wedding party, and on the wedding day, she was so inviting and made everyone (including myself, the bride) feel so at ease. She incorporated little parts of stories we had told her about our relationship into the ceremony, and I can not tell you how many people I had coming up to me saying it was the best officiated wedding they had ever been to. I would highly recommend Rev. Erika Hewitt as she is professional, experienced, and really loves what she does!

Everything about Erika was absolutely wonderful. She is one of those people that you meet and feel like you've known her forever because she makes you feel so comfortable. We weren't able to meet in person before the wedding but Skype meetings and emails made things go very smoothly. In fact, after our first Skype meeting, we canceled meetings with other potential officiants because we knew we'd found the perfect one! My husband and I were nervous about writing vows and speaking in front of our guests and she worked with us a lot to help us make the perfect ceremony that felt like us and was also inclusive for the variety of people in attendance. When she arrived on the wedding day I was feeling a little sick and she took care of me right away which I really appreciated! She kept all of our nerves in check while we waited for the ceremony time. Afterwards, nearly every single person in attendance told me how much they liked Erika and the ceremony that she helped us design. As far as business goes, she always responded to emails very quickly and made sure we had everything we needed from her. She was willing to communicate with We felt that her prices were very reasonable and having her be our officiant was worth every penny and then some! We highly recommend her to any couple needing an officiant.

We feel so blessed by the ceremony that Erika conducted for us at our wedding. She had the amazing ability to truly connect with both of us and make our vows personal and special, while also connecting with and bringing together an entire room of our family and closest friends. She held all of our undivided attention for the entire ceremony through the beauty and passionate delivery of her words. Thinking back on our ceremony we feel nothing but pure joy and happiness and we cannot thank Erika enough. So many of our guests continue to talk about how special the ceremony was and how they were so moved by her words, and how the beautiful ceremony really set the tone for the rest of the day and made everything so enjoyable. We are so thankful that Erika played such a large role in our amazing day, and would highly recommend that any other couple take advantage of the opportunity to work with her!

It did not take long for us to realize that Erika was perfect to officiate our wedding after only a short conversation with her. Like a true professional, she took many notes throughout our meeting and like a true caring person, intertwined our experience throughout the perfect ceremony. We could not imagine a more kind or caring soul than Erika and feel blessed to have been drawn to her.
It was important to us to keep the mood light, yet meaningful at the same time and she made the event very simple for us by making suggestions on the flow of the ceremony while allowing us the flexibility to go in whichever direction we deemed appropriate. We highly recommend Reverend Erika Hewitt not only as a wedding officiate but also as a human being.

For us, it was important to hire a pro to conduct our wedding. We felt that the ceremony was the most important part--we really wanted it lead by someone who was comfortable, experienced, and knew what they were doing. Erika definitely fit the bill! From the get go she was incredibly responsive. We had two skype conversations with her to go over our expectations and the ins and outs of the ceremony. She provided us with multiple options for our ceremony from which we picked our favorites and crafted something that felt truly personal and meaningful. Erika has a great attitude, a warm presence and is obviously skilled at what she does. We highly recommend her as a wedding officiant!

I can't say how happy we are that we chose Erika to be our officiant! From the initial email to the last follow up email, Erika has been so incredibly warm and friendly, but so knowledgeable and professional. Since we live a state away, all of our contact with Erika before the wedding was via email or Skype. Even with this being the case, I always got the feeling that Erika cared very much about our feelings. She gave us lots of options to create the ceremony of our dreams, and was very supportive of other ideas that we had to add to it. When the day came to have our rehearsal, Erika was able to corral a big group of excited people and instruct them in a way that was easy for everyone to understand and remember. She coordinated wonderfully with the venue rep and helped identify any potential problems before they happened. Erika was so wonderful with all of our family and friends and took time to interact with everyone. Our ceremony was beautiful, and so us. Everything went so well. Let me say that Erika has a gift when it comes to reading people's feelings and sending them calming vibes. My husband told me before the ceremony started and as it began, he was incredibly nervous and she helped to calm his nerves. I had many people comment on our ceremony and ask us about Erika. She is such a caring, warm, incredible person that she feels like an old friend, even if it's your first time meeting. THANK YOU Erika for making our day so perfect!

We had the pleasure of working with Erika for our wedding. I knew on our first meeting that I would love her. She is sweet, kind, and a little quirky! I knew I had to have her and that no one else would compare. When we started the actual process of getting what we wanted in our ceremony, there was more than one occasion that left me tear eyed. You can feel how much she loves what she does in her words. I will be recommending her to everyone I know that gets married!

My wife and I found Erika very early on before we realized that we were going to have a very intimate elopement rather than a full wedding. Month's went by and we found ourselves with less than 2 months to plan our elopement and decided to meet with Erika to see if she could accommodate such short notice.

We were delighted by Erika's great sense of humor, willingness to help us, her professionalism, vast knowledge, and suggestions.We knew she was the officiant for us!!

Having Erika as our officiant was amazing, though there were only a couple of us there, she made us feel like the most important couple she'd married-even in jeans and barefoot! Erika was warm, kind and loving and having her with us was just like having a close family member marry us.

When the time comes in the future and we are able to afford all the bells and whistles of a full party/wedding to renew our vows-we will absolutely be calling upon Erika Hewitt to again share in our special day!!

Happily enjoying married life,
Amanda & Heather

I'm not sure I can even write this review without getting teary - Erika was everything we had hoped for and more.

I found her website while searching for a UU minister. Even via the website I had a good feeling and I loved what I read on reviews and quickly reached out to her. After meeting her on Skype and discussing our hopes and wishes for the ceremony, we chose her without hesitation.

She worked with us to create and absolutely beautiful ceremony that touched on all the little things that were important to us. She counseled me and kept me calm as I moved through the wedding day without my father at my side and helped us honor his memory during the ceremony in an absolute beautiful, yet not overwhelming way.

What I can most truly say about Erika - and even my brother who is a rough, tough Marine said this to me after the ceremony - is that she carries a warmth around her that is infectious. She makes you feel good just by her presence and she spreads that energy to anyone she speaks to.

We 100% recommend Erika as a wedding officiant. She is so very well spoken and made our day so amazing and special. Everything was perfect and beautiful. I couldn't have asked for more.

Rev. Erika Hewitt exceeded our expectations as our wedding officiant. Our guests couldn't stop commenting on how beautiful our ceremony was. They were very impressed with Erika and felt she not only did a nice job, but was real and genuine as well. If I am being completely honest there are no words to describe how amazing she was in adding to our very special day.

Erika was a fantastic officiant for our wedding! It was an absolute pleasure to work with her. She truly listened to what my husband and I envisioned for ceremony, which was extremely important to us We had so many of our guests afterwards tell us how it was one of them most beautiful wedding ceremonies that had ever been to. Also Erika was timely in responding to e-mails and flexible, which helped make planning the ceremony much easier. I would highly recommend Erika to any couple considering her as an officiant!

I had initially found Erika on a website, loved what I saw based on videos, reviews, and write-ups from her website, and quickly reached out to her. She responded right back and we set up a Skype meeting where she told us more about herself, she got to know us- and she never pressured us into making a decision to choose her (in fact, she encouraged us to really take the time to decide what was right for us). We chose her without hesitation!One of the best things about the way Erika creates a ceremony is she really wanted the ceremony to reflect what we wanted, and the three of us (Erika, my husband, and myself) all worked together (mainly based off of her ideas and templates) to create a unique and special ceremony that reflected what was important to us. I told my mother, I think this is going to be the most beautiful ceremony you've ever been to, it's going to be really personal and special. I was 100% right. Erika did a beautiful job and I have had COUNTLESS wedding attendants (most of which were my very Christian family members), telling me how wonderful they thought Erika was and what a beautiful ceremony we had. Everything was perfect and beautiful. I would HIGHLY recommend Erika as a wedding officiant, the bottom line is she is personable, well spoken, and helps to create BEAUTIFUL personal weddings. She played a huge role in making our wedding day as amazing as it was.

When we made the decision to marry in Maine, quite a distance from our home, we knew we would have to put ourselves in someone else's hands. After talking with Erika, we felt confident in selecting her as our officiant. From beginning to end, she had our wishes in mind, making sure she knew what we wanted the ceremony to be. She met with us, via Skype, several times and assisted with all details. She was flexible with the day and time, when it looked like the weather would be a factor. We had the perfect wedding ceremony for us.

Erika was the officiant for our very small (as in just us), intimate wedding atop Mount Battie in Camden, Maine and she was amazing. Every bride and groom wants their ceremony to reflect who they are as individuals as well as a couple and Erika took her time to listen and guide us in our ceremony selections. She was able to understand our needs and help us develop a special program that was a perfect fit for us. We did all the planning long distance but with skype, phone calls and emails, we felt that all of our wants and needs were addressed along the way. We HIGHLY recommend Erika for your ceremony. We are so grateful to have found her. Our ceremony was perfect and we will forever remember the kindness, sincerity, honesty, smile, and special spirit she brought to the best moment of our married lives.

Erika provided exactly what we needed during a very challenging time (there was a family medical emergency a week or so before the wedding). She is experienced, accommodating, calm, direct, and respectful. She also beautifully captured the essence of what we wanted to say during the ceremony and she delivered it with maximum grace and skill. Her contributions extended far beyond officiating and we're deeply grateful for her help.

How do I start..Erika was nothing less than spectacular. Being from New Hampshire and getting married in Maine, my wife and I were looking for someone that we had a good feel for and would listen to what WE wanted in a ceremony. After several attempts with other who were attempting to tell us what we wanted....We finally met Erika Hewitt... From the very first Skype session through the ceremony, Erika was there for us. We had questions and thoughts and she gave us ideas and guided us..all the while remembering and respecting that this was our wedding, unique from anyone else's wedding and that we wanted to dictate how the ceremony would unveil. (Unveil..that was wedding humor lol) Erika was fabulous throughout..she came the day of the wedding and the first thing she did when she saw me was come and give me a big hug and then looked for my bride to be to hug her and see how she was doing.. she is such a warm and giving woman. I can say that I can't imagine anyone else performing that special moment in our life. We will be forever grateful for you Erika. I would say to others.. if you are looking for a so-so wedding look at someone else.. if you want to really remember your special day and care about having input in your day.. you can not look anywhere except Erika Hewitt. .. we love you Erika..
