Kimberly H. Sent on 10/31/2022Stephanie creates truly magical ceremonies that leaves everyone in awe!
My husband and I were looking for something unique, memorable, fun, and representative of us as a couple. From the moment we talked on the phone I was certain Stephanie was exactly what we were looking for! She is so sweet and is one of those rare souls you feel instantly comfortable with, as if you've known them forever. She really got to know us as a couple and threw out the most amazing ideas to incorporate into the ceremony. It completely embodied who we are and she even found a creative way to include our young children (it meant so much to us and our kids). Stephanie had our guests completely engaged the whole ceremony, everyone laughed, cried, and was totally in the moment. The rest of the evening, and even weeks later, we had guests and even vendors coming up to us and were raving about Stephanie and how amazing the ceremony was! I cannot express how grateful we are for everything she did for us! -

Stephanie = the best
Stephanie was awesome and we couldn't have asked for a better celebrant! She helped us prepare from beginning to end. She was more than helpful during our rehearsal and helped us stay calm on our wedding day. She performed a handfasting ritual to "tie the knot" at the end of our ceremony. It was perfect. All of our friends & family loved the ceremony. I highly recommend Stephanie for your wedding day! -

Stephanie was able to help us have the ceremony we envisioned and more!
I felt connected with Stephanie from the moment we first spoke on the phone. She made our wedding ceremony everything we wanted and more! She was very calming and shared in our excitement for our special day. Stephanie helped to capture the love my husband and I share and express the feeling to all of our guests. She even included my children in the ceremony which meant the world to us. I couldn't have asked for a better person to marry us. She was loving and kind and took the time to make sure every moment was exactly what we envisioned. I highly recommend Stephanie for your wedding day! -

Personalized & One-of-a-Kind
Working with Stephanie was such a pleasure! Her enthusiasm for what she does makes you excited about the possibilities she can create for your wedding ceremony. My husband and I were looking for someone who could take our wedding beyond the cookie cutter format. Stephanie took our guests on a personalized journey of our love story through her magical storytelling. She incorporated our ferry boat venue into the ceremony with the fisherman's knot to signify our marriage bond. I highly recommend Stephanie to any couple who wants to add a special, personalized touch to their big day!

Stephanie is a magical goddess! Finding the right officiant is so important and right from the first phone call we knew we wanted Stephanie to be our celebrant! She has the kindest soul and truly loves love! She told our love story so perfectly that multiple friends and family members asked us after the ceremony if she was a longtime friend of ours! She had our guests laughing, crying, and engaged the entire ceremony. There were so many different parts to our wedding ceremony; my sister did a Bob Marley reading, we jumped over a branch, and our favorite part was we did the wedding tree ritual! Me and my husband picked out a baby tree to bring to our ceremony and Stephanie talked about how trees are like marriage; putting down roots, surviving storms, and growing together. We planted our wedding tree in our backyard after and it will forever remind us of our perfect day! All of our guests were raving about how unique and awesome the ceremony was. We are forever grateful!!

Marriage Officiant
We are exceptionally please with Stephanie!!! My girlfriend (Now WIFE) and I didn't have alot of time to find someone to officiate our wedding so this was a very stressful time. From the moment we found Stephanie we knew we were done looking. She was very responsive and extremely helpful. Her amazing personality and attention to detail made us feel special and truly like it was her honor to do this for us. She paid such close attention to detail wanting to make each aspect of our ceremony personal. We LOVED that, it really made our special day so heartfelt!!! We truly appreciate Stephanie for all she did for us to make our wedding day a day we will cherish forever!!! -

Stephanie was beyond AMAZING! She exceeded our expectations - we reached out to her last minute and she made everything come together so beautifully!! She made our small, intimate ceremony so magical and perfect, you would have thought she knew us for many years prior! She even incorporated a hand fasting ceremony (which was a beautiful surprise) from our commitment ceremony, which included our guests participation! Stephanie went so above and beyond, words cannot express our gratitude!!Stephanie J Gundy, Celebrant's reply:
Katelyn, it was wonderful getting to know you and your family! You are all welcome at my studio any time. ... and yes, it does feel like we've been friends for many years. -

Christina Sent on 10/20/2020Stephanie literally saved our wedding day!
I'm not sure this review with be able to convey just how awesome Stephanie is! We contacted her just two weeks before we were set to get married back in August. We had previously had another officiant, however, ideals were not aligning and we felt it was best to part with the idea of that particular person marrying us. We set out with literally 14 days to find someone new, get to know them, and have them show up on the big day! It was a lot to manage!
Well, in comes Stephanie to the rescue! :-)
It was so daunting to Google potential celebrants so close to our wedding day - my (now) husband and I were in official freak-out mode! However, Stephanie responded to my email request within an hour and asked for a meeting to get to know us. I cannot tell you how relieved it made us both feel to hear back from her so soon and for her to tell us it would be okay and that she had our date open and was more than happy to accommodate us on such a short timeline! I literally cried tears of joy reading her email!
As soon as we spoke, I knew immediately that it was meant to be and that she was the one who needed to marry us. As others have mentioned, it was like speaking to an old friend. She is super warm and really a great conversationalist (easy to open up to). In addition, she had some really amazing ideas on what she recommended we incorporate into the ceremony to make it really special to us. She completely understood our situation with the other officiant and was helping us feel okay with everything so that we would feel happy and comfortable on our big day with her.
We simply adore her and truly I wish I would have met her sooner and gotten to spend more time with her during the planning process just because I enjoyed her service so much, however, with the time she had to come up with our wedding plan and vows, it went off beautifully and we couldn't be happier with our ceremony.
We highly recommend Stephanie for any couple who needs an amazingly kind, fun, bubbly celebrant to share in their big day (even with a tight deadline). USE HER! She's fabulous!
Thank you so much, Stephanie! We love you!

Amanda M. Sent on 07/23/2021Amazing officiant
Stephanie was great from the very beginning. Not only did she officiate our small ceremony (due to COVID) but she also officiated our renewal of vows a year later. She makes everything very stress free, she’s very organized and really wants to know all about the love you share to personalize the ceremony for you. She couldn’t have done a better job, she made both experiences so special, light, romantic and refreshing. She is so positive which is much needed when planning a wedding! She really is the sweetest human as well! If you are looking for an officiant look no further! I would hire her again and again! -

Stephanie create a magical moment for us...
Stephanie went above and beyond to officiate our wedding ceremony! Through radiating positive energy, being so flexible, and thoughtfully guiding us through this process, we were able to tie the knot in such a special way. We are incredibly happy with our experience and give Stephanie our highest recommendation.Stephanie J Gundy, Celebrant's reply:
Meera, I loved your sweet ceremony so much, outside of my studio with many of your family and friends joining through facebook live. It was absolutely beautiful! -

After asking my friend to do our ceremony I thought we didn’t have anything to worry about. But we didn’t hear from her so we had to change our plan of action. That is how we found Stephanie. Since my husband and I are not religious people Stephanie’s style was very appealing to us. Since she is a celebrant she can make the ceremony about anything we wanted. I had requests and she cooperated with me with every single thing. We met with her to go over our questionnaire and talked for 2 hours. She really spent a lot of time to get to know us as a couple which I thought was amazing. We got so many compliments about the ceremony from our guests and they thought she was my long time friend!!! Our ceremony was all about OUR love story. It’s what WE wanted it to say. Not some default prewritten ceremony you find on the internet. She is an AMAZING writer and storyteller. I can’t say enough good things about her. She was worth every single penny! Thank you so much Stephanie! -

I knew as soon as we met her that I wanted Stephanie to perform our ceremony! She took the information we gave her and she created a beautiful ceremony that focused on our love story. Stephanie has a lot of creative ideas, is open to any suggestions, and worked very hard to make sure the ceremony was how we wanted it. She is prompt and organized. We were provided with a keepsake copy of our ceremony, which is a very nice touch. Thank you!!! -

We were looking for someone to marry us in a very private short ceremony. We had no one present but a photographer and Stephanie and it went wonderfully. Stephanie helped us come up with beautiful vows and tailored the ceremony to just what we wanted. We both highly recommend her! -
