Lilly Sent on 03/16/2025Amazing officiant!
My husband and I loved having Elaine officiate our wedding! She makes it so easy to craft the ceremony by sending you a document with tons of examples for each part of the ceremony. She also attends the rehearsal! My favorite part was of the ceremony was that she included bits we wrote for our personal love story so that it was more sentimental and tailored to us. Lots of our guests said it made them tear up or cry. She did a wonderful job and we're so thankful we hired her! -

We will forever be so thankful that we came across the Seattle Wedding Officiants website! We knew from the first moment we met Elaine over Skype that she was the perfect fit for our small elopement!
Travelling from the UK to Snoqualmie, Washington we wanted a tiny wedding at a beautiful location. Elaine recommended the Salish, Snoqualmie which confirmed what I had read and had seen online about this amazing location. Elaine made everything so easy to plan from afar! She was so responsive by email and set up a Skype call immediately. She recommended some amazing photographers, putting me in contact with them very early on - this was so helpful! She also sent through lots... -

She's amazing, and really helpful. We were in hurry to get married with little planning. But she walked us through the steps of getting our marriage certificate, writing our own vows and everything. -

My husband and I are delighted that we chose Elaine to officiate at our wedding ceremony last week! She is very warm and personable, and took care of all the legal details for us (obtaining the license, filing the marriage certificate, etc.). Elaine handled the wedding ceremony with dignity and grace, and nearly all of our guests commented on how beautiful the ceremony was. We really can't recommend Elaine highly enough. She's fabulous! -

Taylor Sent on 08/29/2019Pleasure to work with!
Elaine was an absolute pleasure to work with! Our ceremony was so special and authentic and true to ourselves. We wanted something that wasn't religious and reflected our personalities and views. After filling out couple's questionnaires and hand picking exactly what we wanted, we were left with something so personal and real. I will forever cherish our ceremony. Elaine is extremely professional, caring and quick you respond. She ran our entire rehearsal and made everyone feel so comfortable. If we could get married 100 more times we would use Elaine everytime. Thank you for making our day that much for special! -

Pete Sent on 07/16/2019Great team that created a memorable day.
Elaine was such a great officiant who made me and my husband feel totally at ease during our same-sex ceremony. She and Rick, who works alongside her providing the photography, were flexible with dates. Rick attended despite having an unexpected event around his family, we could not be more grateful.
Elaine gave us ideas to inspire us in creating our own ceremony.
We sent her our version and she delivered it flawlessly on the day.
Both Elaine and Rick arrived early at the venue, a beach near Seattle, so we were able to start before the rain and tide prevented it from going ahead since the weather had changed suddenly.
She also prepared two... -

Evelyn Sent on 07/08/2019Happy we chose Elaine to officiate!
Elaine was a pleasure to work with! She was available for an in person meeting and had all the information we needed to put together our special ceremony. She went to the courthouse and picked up our marriage license, which was a lifesaver. She was very quick to respond to all emails and she worked with us on last minute details up until the night before our ceremony. She definitely helped make our wedding day stress-free and to top it all off, she even filed our marriage license at the courthouse the following week. -

Elaine is the best, despite the rain made our day so beautiful. Found a way to get us married in front of the waterfall as our kids wanted!!! Best planner, Gave us many options to pick readings and poems to integrate our kids making our ceremony so unique. -

Elaine provided a lot of time and support for our ceremony. Between in-person meetings, numerous emails and helpful suggestions; she was by far the best value out of all our wedding costs. -

We are from Oklahoma and wanted an intimate elopement in Seattle. I worried about getting everything taken care of from a distance, but Elaine was so great. She made the entire process easy for us! The wedding photographer Jeannie was amazing and captured our wedding perfectly. They even drove an hour to come to our cabin on the river. I would recommend them both to anyone looking for beautiful photos and a stress free elopement process/wedding. The are both so sweet and really did a great job with everything. I cant say enough good things. -

Kristen Sent on 12/21/2015We loved working with Elaine for our wedding. She is very professional, personal, and very detailed. Elaine made us feel excited for this journey together and was there throughout the process. She was amazing during our ceremony and when I started to get choked up during the vows, she helped me by telling a sweet joke that got me to laugh and was then able to finish the vows. We highly recommend her! -

Kainoa Sent on 05/23/2015Elaine was nothing short of amazing!! We could not have wished for a better officiant to marry us and can't say enough positive things about her. She was incredibly respectful of our wishes and ideas and helped guide us through the proces of getting married. She was also very professional while being incredibly warm. She made us feel so comfortable and eased our nerves the day of...we will truly look back on our ceremony as the highlight of our whole day, thanks in part to the AMAZING Elaine Way!! -

Geena Sent on 03/15/2015Elaine is the most amazing officiant. She is very affordable, and helps you with everything including your marriage license. Her packet to set up your ceremony made me cry time and time again as I was putting together my own ceremony. I seriously do not think our ceremony would have gone as well as it did without her and her amazing expertise. Plus she is a wonderful woman that was just a joy to work with. Always attentive and responsive. She even got a flat tire on the day of the wedding and still made it on time!!!! I seriously love her and recommend her to anyone. -

Tonya Sent on 10/30/2014Elaine is amazing. We live in Atlanta, GA and were flying in for our planned elopement at the Salish Lodge. I was so uncertain about so many things because I had never been to Seattle. Not only did Elaine answer my questions about her officiant services, but she helped answer questions about everything else too. By the time we arrived in Seattle, I was confident everything would be perfect, and it was.
The photographer Elaine had contracted with was wonderful. We loved out photos. Elaine performed an amazing ceremony. It was exactly what we wanted. She and the photographer even worked together to make sure I had an opportunity to “walk down the aisle”, which was actually... -

Kate Sent on 10/22/2012From the first time we met with Elaine, we felt she was a great fit for our wedding. Her professionalism, paired with her experience and calming demeanor made her an easy choice. Elaine worked with us to perfect our vows and ensure the ceremony was a true reflection of our relationship. The day of our wedding she made sure the wedding party knew what to do and everything went off without a hitch. Elaine, thank you so much for being a wonderful part of our most special day! -

Our March 2015 Seattle Elopement remains magical
Elaine Way made it all simple - we remain so grateful. We flew from Eagle River, AK after all the in-person, phone and emails exchanges during our busy work schedules. Elaine made our goal of a small, private ceremony possible and the logistics simple. We found her experienced, a careful listener, articulate, poised, flexible and committed to what we had in mind. Lodging, dining, privacy, photography, venues, licensing and other documents... We suddenly had this long-time friend who knew how to get all these things done. We trusted her right away. One day we expect to revisit the Washington Park Arboretum in March - hoping to catch those cherry blossoms again - and maybe visit Elaine too! Thank you, Elaine! -

Elaine was a joy to work with!
Elaine was such a pleasure to work with. She has a lot of experience to offer and it really showed. Elaine was very responsive, organized, and easy to work with. The process of working with her was very smooth and seamless. We didn't have any worries leading up the the Wedding.
She offers extensive documents to help you curate your ideal wedding ceremony and offers help whenever needed. She also includes additional, useful documents such as name change process, processional list, and ordering marriage license copies.
Elaine was a joy to work with. We can't thank her enough. -

Even with a broken foot she was amazing!
We loved working with Elaine. She helped us to create the perfect ceremony by spending the time to get to know us and recommend ceremonies that would fit our style. My friends and family commented that the ceremony matched our personalities perfectly. -

Perfection
We had a private ceremony in Everett, WA. I hired Elaine to coordinate our ceremony. She was responsive and organized. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. -
