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. -

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.Seattle Wedding Officiants's reply:
Thank you so much Prabhjot and Shengjiao for your lovely review,
It was a pleasure to meet you yesterday and officiate your small wedding at the arboretum. I hope you warmed up and had a nice lunch celebration.

Elaine is The Best! Dont Hesitate!
We had recently gotten engaged and already had a trip planned to the beautiful Pacific Northwest, we figured this was the ideal opportunity for an elopement and amazing ceremony in the woods! We found Elaine and from the very start she was amazing, super accommodating to our vision; right up until the day before, we really wanted the perfect natural location and were told about this amazing State Park that sounded perfect, we communicated with Elaine about the change of location, she contacted the photographers and 1-2-3 it was done, it was happening in our dream spot (and what a spot it was)! Needless to say it was magical and a memory we will never forget!! She guided and assisted with all the required paperwork, license, etc. Even advised us exactly where to get the license from so we could get it in the mail, didn't have to go to some license office somewhere! We couldn't recommend Elaine more; don't hesitate, shes the best! Thank you so Much Elaine!

Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for your review, Lee and Connie. Your wedding was truly remarkable and I'm so grateful everything worked out with the change of location. It couldn't have been more beautiful. Your love, the river, the Pacific Northwest...everything was amazing. Please come back for a vow renewal! -

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. -

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. -

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! -

Great Experience
My husband and I planned a small destination wedding in Seattle, and found Elaine online. Elaine was easy to communicate with very flexible (we were in town for a planning trip and her tire blew out on her way to meet with us - she was very accomodating, moving her schedule around to make sure we could still meet in person before we left). Elaine's services included ceremony planning, a rehearsal ceremony, and taking care of the marriage license (a big plus for a destination wedding). Elaine has a nice system for developing the wedding ceremony - she provides multiple sample ceremonies from which you can pick and choose pieces you like. Developing the ceremony did take a good amount of time, but my husband and I chose to adjust the sample ceremonies significantly in order to make sure the final draft was exactly what we wanted. Elaine was also very accomodating of incorporating desired cultural elements (we included the Jewish tradition of the breaking of the glass). Elaine was very professional, and all of our family and friends told us how much they enjoyed the ceremony. -

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 of sample ceremonies so that we could put together a unique ceremony that fit what we wanted.
On the day Elaine really was amazing and so flexible! I am so happy that she was the person who married us.
I think the best part for us and something we will treasure forever was the spontaneity of having our Wedding ceremony out on the rocks at the Lower Snoqualmie Falls. I can’t remember who suggested it but Elaine was up for the challenge of jumping across rocks out on the river to make this happen for us - thank you Elaine! You made our ceremony so memorable! It was just so perfect!
Do not hesitate to book Elaine! She is super efficient, helpful before, during and after the ceremony and just a really kind, bubbly person! She made our day one to remember and added to our day even more by celebrating with us afterwards! 100% recommend.
Thank you Elaine for making our day so special! (I can only apologise that it’s taken me this long to write a review!)
I hope our paths cross again!
All the best,
Nicole and JonSeattle Wedding Officiants's reply:
These elopements are what I live for and this review is another reason why. It was a personal experience for me right from the first Skype call I shared with my Nicole and Jon in London. And the grand finale was jumping rocks on the Snoqualmie River to find the perfect spot for the perfect wedding ceremony. What it all comes down to for me is being able to provide a personal experience with exceptional results. Thanks Nicole & Jon for putting your faith in me. You were remarkable to work with and I'll never forget hopping around those rocks on the river! -

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!Seattle Wedding Officiants's reply:
Taylor and Andy,
Thank you SOOOOO much for such a lovely review. I enjoyed working with you from the minute we met and had fun customizing your ceremony. Your venue -- including the crab cakes and bacon wrapped dates--was over the top fantastic! Thank you for hiring me to be your officiant. You are a lovely and loving couple and I wish you many years of happiness together on this next journey! -

Pete V. 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 sheets with our wedding vows which we read to each other, they were printed in beautiful stock so we could keep them as mementos.
Elaine's reading style was peaceful and made me feel emotional, and most importantly connected to my partner during what was certainly the most important day of my life as it gave start to my own family.
Both were gentle and friendly to us, furthermore she provided assistance to Rick, our talented photographer, to take breathtaking shots despite the harsh and unexpected weather.
We received a preview of the photos from Rick, and we were both amazed by the results (as were our friends and families) - Thank you Rick.
Elaine joined us in one of our photos and it turned out to be one of my favorites. I was really glad that she did so as she certainly was instrumental in turning the day into something I will always remember, captured in beautiful pictures.
She went beyond the call of duty by suggesting some angles and shots on a beautiful meadow-like area close to the beach where my partner and I eloped.
Rick did a phenomenal job in capturing the scenery, our emotions, and the nature around us. Both worked under rain and strong winds, thinking quickly to make the most out of the situation.
Both of us would wholeheartedly recommend Elaine and Rick, we feel ever so grateful for their services and believe any couple would love them to be part of their wedding.Seattle Wedding Officiants's reply:
Peter and Jason,
We loved everything about working with you. You were SO easy-going and went with the flow when we were suggesting ideas for you. I just can't say enough about how grateful I am that I got to be your officiant. I wish you much love and peace as you begin this new journey together. Your loving adventure has just begun.
