    Stephanie 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!

    Magical Goddess!

    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!!

    Amazing 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!

    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!

    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 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!

    Beautiful ceremony

    My husband and I recently got married and had Stephanie as our officiant. The ceremony she put together was absolutely beautiful, and I couldn’t have asked for anything better! Would highly recommend!

    Exceptional!!

    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 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.

    Beautiful ceremony written by a wonderful person

    My husband and I LOVED having Stephanie officiate our wedding. She was extremely responsive and wrote the most beautiful ceremony for us! Stephanie takes time to get to know you as a couple and works it into all of her ceremonies to make a one of a kind ceremony. The ceremony that she wrote for us was very thorough yet simplistic and included everything we wanted to say. Neither my husband nor I wanted to have the "traditional I do's" and Stephanie was able to take all of our random ideas and put her own flare into it to make it everything we wanted and more. So glad Stephanie was able to officiate and celebrate with us on our wedding day!

    Stephanie is amazing!

    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!

    Ceremony of my dreams!

    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!!!

    Perfect little wedding

    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!

    Personalized Ceremony

    We searched high and low for the perfect officiant for our wedding. When we found Stephanie, we knew without a doubt she was "the one" after our first phone conversation. I loved her attention to detail and kind heart. We chose her because we wanted a personalized non-traditional ceremony, hilarious yet heartfelt, and she did exactly that! She sent us questionnaires to fill out to get to know us, and from that our ceremony turned out better than we could have ever dreamed. Our friends and family can't stop talking about how great it was. Some thought Stephanie was a friend of ours just because of how personal and perfect our ceremony matched our personalities. We would recommend her to anybody who looking for a personalized ceremony!!!!

    Sweetest women ever !

    Stephanie is absolutely amazing and the sweetest! She worked with us on making our ceremony ours. She made it emotional and vibrant! she helped with our vows by sending us ideas. She isn’t pushy on having your ceremony a certain way or strict on any religions as we are not as religious and didn’t want our ceremony to focus on that rather then us and our commitment. she even worked with me on a special handfasting even when i decided on having 6 people involved in the chaos. :) she made it all flow smoothly and made sure we were on all the same page. She was easy to get ahold of and was very easy to talk to and vent to. We loved her organization and monthly check ins. She always made us feel like number 1 never on the back burner. She also asked how I’d like her to dress for the wedding which was actually really nice considering I hadn’t even thought of that and she looked absolutely stunning :) you really couldn’t ask for a better officiant

    Stephanie is the sweetest and the greatest!

    Stephanie is amazing! My husband decided he wanted to join the Air Force before our wedding day and we wanted to be married before he left for training, so Stephanie performed a sweet and personal civil union ceremony for us at her studio. We only wanted something small and simple because we are still having our wedding next year. And she knocked it out of the park, it was perfect! And now we are even more excited for her to officiate our wedding ceremony next year in front of all of our family and friends!

    Have a wedding ceremony you'll never forget - hire Stephanie!

    We searched far and wide for our officiant and boy are we glad we found Stephanie! We went a little outside of our "area" for where we were getting married and are so happy we found Stephanie. From the moment we met with her up in Hershey, PA to the final moments when we signed our certificate she was so incredible to work with. She took over an hour to listen to my fiancé and I talk about us, our lives, and what we wanted in a ceremony and wrote a custom one specific for us. Stephanie was also helpful in making sure we got our marriage license (important!) and creating a ceremony both us and the guests would remember. She has monthly check ins with her couples too! She was such a positive light and the perfect person to officiate our wedding, I couldn't imagine hiring anyone else.

    Stephanie is absolutely amazing! She married us at Raystown Lake on 9/29 this year. If you are looking for a unique and personalized ceremony definitely use her! Everyone said how much they loved our ceremony!

    We are so thrilled with the services provided by Stephanie! She did such an amazing job putting together our wedding ceremony, we were honestly blown away. She made the ceremony very personal, and she left all the decisions up to us. She was very corteous and and prompt throughout the whole time leading up to and including our big day. We can't reccommend her highly enough! Beyond the great services she provides, Stephanie is a a great, caring, kind person, and all her positivity really shows through her work.

    Stephanie was amazing to work with! She has a very happy and bubbly personality and was genuinely excited about being a part of our special day. She is all about making the ceremony customized exactly how you want it to be including telling your love story along the way. I couldn't think of a better person to have worked with. I would highly recommend her!

    Stephanie was so great!! From the minute I spoke to her on the phone, she was so sweet and attentive. She sent us these lovely questionnaires that really helped the ceremony come together. She paid attention to the details and was open to any feedback or ideas we had when discussing the ceremonies. I was so busy with many other details of the wedding and work, but Stephanie was persistent (very helpful!!). Another few added bonuses were the reading she chose, which was extremely lovely and touching, and the fisherman's knot, which was such a nice way to end the ceremony. I highly recommend booking Stephanie. I could not have been be happier!

    I'm a photographer, but I was highly impressed with Stephanie Gundy. She took an active role, and she went about and beyond to make sure her duties were carried out professionally, and with great care. As a photographer, I noticed that she paid attention to little details, for example, you can see in my photo attached here that she stepped out of the way when the couple kissed. That's rare, but it illustrates my point--she genuinely cares and wants the best experience for her clients.

    Stephanie was very open to changes, last minute adjustments and she traveled to us for a beautiful at home cemerony. Couldn't of had a better officiant. She had us fully prepared for everything that was going to happen and we made some changes and decisions in the final moments before hand. Everything went smoothly

    Stephanie was the absolute perfect fit for our wedding. As an inter-faith couple, we wanted to make sure that we respected and honored the traditions and beliefs of all of our guests. Stephanie wrote a beautiful non-denominational ceremony that we were very comfortable with and that was deeply personal to us as a couple. Her individualized approach and attention to all the details that make us who we are as a couple made all the difference. She was a calming force for me during the wedding planning process, and her energy is just so comforting and joyful. After our ceremony, several different guests told me ours was the most unique, memorable and beautiful wedding they had ever attended. That meant so much to me, and I have Stephanie to thank for that.

    Very nice woman. What stood out for me was, she provided me with a lot of detail of how she does her ceremonies vs. the other vendors sending links to their website. Which isn't a bad thing but when you have a lot of questions and aren't sure of what you want, it's best to talk to someone via phone. And that's what Stephanie did for me!! Such a sweet lady.

    Stephanie was everything and more!! From the very beginning she was a breath of fresh air in our crazy life. Each step of the way she was checking in and making sure our vows were done (aka my husbands). She made our day so memorable and she went over and beyond for what we wanted in a celebratory officiant. Stephanie has a way about making you feel very calm, cool, and collected on your rehearsal day/wedding day. If I could do it all over again Stephanie would definitely get another phone call. My husband and I are were very satisfied!!

    Stephanie was fantastic. She took our love story and used that as the basis for creating our ceremony. It was all custom written by her and truly one of a kind. She turned an ordinary ceremony into something distinctive and special. Truly a pleasure to work with and have her unite us together.

    Our guest told us "There are weddings, and then there are weddings that you remember. This was a wedding that people will remember. "
    Stephanie was a big part of this. The ceremony that she created was filled with love. Armed with the homework that we completed she crafted a beautiful ceremony that we will always remember.

    I could not thank her enough. We we're extremely happy with our decision.

    Thank you.

    From the moment I met Stephanie I could tell she was in love with LOVE. Stephanie checked in with my husband and myself every month leading up to the wedding day. She made our wedding ceremony unique and really got to know us to make sure our ceremony (the most important part of the wedding) was tailored to our love story. I think everyone there was in tears. If you are looking for someone to make your ceremony something you, your family and friends will not soon forget, Stephanie is who you need.

    If i could give Stephanie a 10 out of 5 review I would. From our initial meeting she was so warm and welcoming. She checked in with us monthly to guide us along our ceremony journey and help create what i can only describe as one of the most moving and special moments of my life. Our ceremony was so filled with love and personality. She was more than a pleasure to work with. She was so flexible despite the rainstorm and was there to make sure our love was celebrated to fullest. I could not have been happier with how she helped us navigate the ceremony. She lead with love and understanding and let us know she was here for us through the entire day. She is one of the sweetest and kindest people i have ever worked with and it was an honor to have her officiate our wedding. We worked on the ceremony in tandem and made sure that each part reflected us and our love. A Thank you and a review will never be enough to tell her how much she did for us to make our day so special. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a truly personal and intimate ceremony experience. She will work within any parameters and she will make sure that your wedding is exactly what you want.

    AMAZING!!! I honestly can't say enough great things about Stephanie. She was exactly what we were looking for and then some. She came up with the most beautiful ceremony that really captured our story and had some really unique elements, just like us! We had so many compliments on how much our guests enjoyed it too! She was also so accommodating. We only needed a couple small changes from the original draft she sent us and she was able to get them done even though my (now husband) waited until the last second to get her the information she needed. Stephanie is also incredible because she keeps in touch every month which almost no wedding vendor ever does! I never had to worry about anything with her! She was our very own fairy godmother for the day that made sure everything was perfect. We're so glad we had the privilege of working with her! Fabulous officiant and person :-)

    Stephanie helped make our wedding more than just nice, it was amazing. I married the woman of my dreams and can't thank Stephanie enough for making it better than expected. She allowed us the flexibility to make the wedding just like WE wanted it. Her suggestions and ideas were creative and special. There were more than a few tears flowing at our ceremony, including mine. I would without hesitation recommend her to ANYONE. It was more than a simple wedding, it was a day I don't think anyone will ever forget. Thank you Stephanie!

    Our ceremony was personalized and expressed the love that we shared for each other thanks to Stephanie. Stephanie was wonderful to work with and embraced our love story and incorporated it into the ceremony. We were able to add in elements which meant a lot to us like the memory box and unity candle. I couldn't imagine having anyone else marry us other than Stephanie. Many of the guests at the wedding complimented us on the ceremony and on Stephanie.

    Stephanie was a pleasure to work with for our Wedding. She devoted her time to write up a beautiful ceremony script that included several unique ideas and our Love Story. Since it was Earth Day, we had a tree planting ritual and incorporated nature blessings and lastly a handfasting. Stephanie was always there to answer any questions through the planning process. She was a great part of our day and would be for you too!

    Please, please, please book Stephanie as your officiant! From the very beginning she was all about us and making our perfect day fun, simple, and most importantly personal. Stephanie is without a doubt the most unique, fun, caring, and passionate officiant I have ever seen. Everyone from the bridal party to the guest absolutely loved her and her calming personality she brought to the ceremony. In every picture she is in, she looks like she is having the best time of her life and we love every second of it! No one will be disappointed with Stephanie, she is a ray of sunshine and definitely makes you feel comfortable and relaxed on one of the most important days of your life! #teamstephanie

    Stephanie was so responsive from the time we hired her to the day of the wedding. She helped figure out how things should run at the rehersal dinner. Though the best part was the ceremony itself. She created a great ceremony that was all about us. We loved the entire ceremony and everyone said that it was such a great ceremony,

    We did quite a bit of searching for a celebrant before finally finding Stephanie. We wanted a non-traditional ceremony with a hand-fasting. Before we even signed a contract, Stephanie talked with us on the phone for over an hour and gave us lots of ideas while answering all of our tedious questions. She sent the written ceremony to us in advance and we were able to look it over and make any changes (although there were very few). She created a ceremony exactly how I had envisioned. We had dozens of guests tell us it was the best ceremony they had ever attended. We wanted a ceremony that wasn't too "cheesy" for lack of a better word--we wanted our love/commitment to be displayed in a more subtle manner, which Stephanie did perfectly with our ceremony. Would recommend her to anyone!

    Stephanie put together a wonderful, personalized ceremony for us that we and all our guests loved and enjoyed. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and made everything so easy to plan and execute. She took the time to really get to know us as a couple and the ceremony she put together reflected that. She made great recommendations on what kind of ceremonies to include that went along with the theme and vibe of our big day. We couldn't have written our own love story any better! She checked in with us monthly and was always quick to respond to questions we had. She also took care of all the paperwork so we didn't have to worry about a thing. We would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants a unique and beautiful wedding ceremony that gives guests a wonderful look into your relationship.

    Stephanie is one of the more beautiful souls I have ever met. She loves love and is excited to write your love story ceremony. As soon as I met her I knew I wanted her to be our officiant. She's down to earth and truly cares. Her custom touches like monthly check in calls/emails puts her far above other officiants I have interviewed. Reasonably priced too! You will not be disappointed in your ceremony if you book Stephanie!

    Aside from being an amazing celebrant, Stephanie is a wonderful person. She thrives on the love and happiness surrounding a wedding and she puts her heart and soul into preparing a personalized, meaningful ceremony. We had no idea what to ask for, and Stephanie guided us to a custom-made ceremony that touched every guest watching. We had so many people coming to us and actually "quoting" words from the ceremony. She held their attention and brought them along on our journey. We were so glad we incorporated the "tree-planting ritual" into our ceremony, as well as the "7 Blessings". Thank you, Stephanie, for marrying us. And thank you for the incredibly thoughtful keepsake, too.

    Working with Stephanie was a pleasure from beginning to end. She is sweet, professional, and super organized. Her personality brought a sense of calm and excitement to the ceremony that made it extra special. Stephanie was our 'rock' for all things ceremony related, keeping other vendors organized about how the ceremony would go, and helping us create a ceremony that was truly unique to our love story and personalities. I loved that Stephanie worked colaboratively with us to get the best end result...all the way up to the day before, as I had last minute changes. If you want something more than the cookie cutter ceremony, Stephanie is your person!

    The ceremony is the most important aspect of YOUR WEDDING because that is the moment you say I DO and make a commitment to the one you love. The ceremony should focus on the COUPLE who is getting married and should focus on their love. Choosing Stephanie was the best decision we could have made to ensure our wedding ceremony was one of a kind and truly ours. I knew when I met Stephanie she was perfect for us. She was a breath of fresh air and sweet as can be. She was very open to our ideas and flexible with changes. Stephanie checked in with us monthly to make sure all our plans were coming along and we were doing good. Stephanie came to our wedding rehearsal and ran all our wedding party through the ceremony for the following day. She arrived on time for both the rehearsal and wedding day! Stephanie worked with us to plan the BEST ceremony from start to finish. She even provided us with a wedding keepsake of our ceremony oh... and one more thing- she even mails in the sign marriage certificate!

    I cannot even begin to tell you how absolutely wonderful Stephanie is inside and out. She made our day absolutely perfect
    The process of finding an officiant is hard because you want to find that perfect fit. Someone that will capture the love, passion and special moments you feel with your partner and Stephanie did just that. I have never met someone who truly invests so much time, love and energy into what they do. This is not a job to her this is her calling! She wrote my new husband and I the most incredible ceremony and even provided a copy to us to keep which is something I will never forget.
    Through the entire process up until and even after the wedding Stephanie was so responsive and always there to answer any questions. We couldn't believe how someone that didn't know us in the beginning was able to capture our essence as a couple better then we could have ever imagined.
    Something you will not get with any other officiant is that Stephanie dedicated the entire weekend to us she did not have back-to-back weddings schedule the whole weekend she made it all about us and made us feel so important and special.
    If I could give more than 5 stars I would she now feels like a part of the family!! Trust me when I say this you want her to be your celebrant!!!

    Stephanie was a pleasure to work with and extremely good at communicating. She checked in every month leading up to the wedding and was very open to suggestions. Stephanie creates a ceremony that is more about the couple above anything else. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a little or major twist on the traditional ceremony!

    Stephanie was a pleasure to work with and we couldn't have been more pleased to have her officiating our wedding. She was prompt, detailed, and creatively incorporated all requests we had to make our ceremony extremely personal and very "us"! We received numerous compliments from our guests afterward commenting how much they had enjoyed the ceremony, particularly how engaging Stephanie was throughout. Can not thank her enough for her fabulous services! She was born to do this :)

    Stephanie was great. She created a ceremony that was perfect for us and made it very individual for us. She got to know us and learned about who we were then wrote a ceremony that was unique and special for my wife and I. Stephanie listened to our ideas and had some excellent ideas that she shared with us which we used for our ceremony. I would highly recommend her to anyone else who is looking for an officiant.

    I would choose Stephanie as our celebrant again and again and again! She was pure magic and somehow took all of our ideas and made them into a seamless, classic, light-hearted, and perfect ceremony. Each month, she would check in with us which was so great! She would see how we were doing and it was nice to know that she was thinking of us throughout the duration of the whole planning process. We actually coordinated everything via phone and email, and only met in person the day of our rehearsal! She was so organized and really made sure to coordinate with our other vendors as well to ensure everyone was on the same page. With Stephanie, there were no stresses or worries. Everyone said that it was one of the most (if not the most) beautiful ceremonies that they had ever been a part of, which really made us feel special. Everyone in the wedding, and all of our guests were able to feel so connected, which is exactly what we were looking for! If you're considering Stephanie, do yourselves a favor and have her as your officiant!!

    Stephanie was an absolutely AMAZING life cycle celebrant. She put together such a beautiful ceremony that was perfect for my wife and I. Our guests continually were coming up to us throughout the night and complimenting us on how great the ceremony was. We also go a special gift and keepsake from her which had our entire ceremony printed out for us as a keepsake to remember the special ceremony.

    She was very easy to work with, especially if you are not close to where she is from (Hershey). We met with her once in person on the way to visit my parents. It was extremely helpful meeting with her once in person but it is not necessary. She provides monthly check ins and helps you with every step along the way so that she can create the perfect ceremony. You receive a questionnaire a few months before the wedding which allows her to know the stories that make you and your future spouse work so well together. The more details you share here the easier it is for her to create the ceremony. We then could make as many edits as we wanted to make it perfect.

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

    Steph was wonderful throughout the entire process. When you first meet her, she makes it very clear that she is here to work with you and what you and your partner want for your wedding. She is great at what she does, and ended up making us a beautiful ceremony with us reading our own vows as well as readings may husband and I chose ourselves. Our guests told us that it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to! I highly recommend Steph!

    Stephanie is an absolute gem of a person! From our first meeting with her, she was so professional, sweet, knowledgable and passionate about weddings. We chatted with her for a long time and Stephanie was able to answer all our questions and way more! She had every little detail covered that we never would have thought of. She even sent us a monthly check in email which I appreciated.

    To write the completely custom ceremony, she sent each of us a very long questionnaire, which was so fun to fill out. My now husband thought he would be a smart ass and write some joke responses and she added them to the ceremony, which was sooooo fitting for him! You have no idea! He wrote in the "Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch" from "Monty Python" as a ritual he would like to perform... well... instead of laughing it away as a joke, Stephanie found a clip of that scene and wrote it in as a completely surprise ending for all our guests and called it the Holy Hand Grenade of Love. When she sent us the first draft of the ceremony, he was stunned she even did it. He was joking! But it was so perfect for us. We found some kabuki streamers and went with it! And at the very end of our ceremony, Stephanie did her thing, read the words and we threw the streamers into the crowd and made a completely memorable and unique moment for everyone. The whole ceremony was beautiful. It had it's moments that made everyone cry, and plenty of humor. Everyone was asking us how she was able to get the ceremony to be so perfect for us. People were in awe of Stephanie.

    We had an outdoor wedding, and it was a little windy. She used a lapel mic, and everyone could hear her and us with no issue. She also touched base with the venue coordinator, DJ and photographer on her own to let them know the run through of the ceremony so they knew their cues. Each of those vendors even commented to me during the evening how great she was and how much they appreciated the run through.

    Stephanie is just the best!

    Stephanie is not only an amazing officiant but one of the kindest people we have ever met! My husband and I planned our Philadelphia wedding from Houston - Stephanie made the process so easy! We first spoke over the phone to discuss our vision for our ceremony. My husband and I were looking for an officiant for our non-religious wedding ceremony. We wanted a ceremony that would be memorable for our guests. (My husband and I have been to so many weddings, but when it came time to plan our own wedding we remembered very little about the ceremonies. We didn't want this for our ceremony.) As a Celebrant, Stephanie gave us exactly what we were looking for!

    We communicated primarily via e-mail to create our ceremony. Stephanie would check in with us monthly leading up to the wedding. Two months before the wedding, Stephanie e-mailed us a questionnaire. My husband and I each completed the questionnaire about ourselves (our careers, our hobbies, our hopes for the future, etc.) and our relationship (how we met, our first date, when we fell in love, how he proposed, etc.). Stephanie also asked for our own ideas. We found a reading that we wanted to use during our ceremony but asked Stephanie to find an additional reading. She found a reading that we loved! She also wrote vows that fit perfectly with our vision. About a month before the wedding, Stephanie sent us a first draft of our ceremony. My husband and I were able to review it and make suggestions. Stephanie had no problem editing or removing parts of the ceremony. We were able to create a ceremony that we all loved.

    On our wedding day, Stephanie was able to tell our love story to all of our families and friends. I received so many compliments! She even gave us a keepsake written copy of the ceremony - we will treasure it for years. Following the wedding, Stephanie submitted our marriage license to the city of Philadelphia.

    Stephanie, I can't thank you enough for creating the wedding ceremony of our dreams!

    Stephanie was a wonderful officiant for our ceremony! She met with us together to review all aspects of the ceremony- what we want, didn't want, ideas, suggestions, etc. She put together the most wonderful customized "love story" ceremony for our big day and gave us great suggestions for readings and rituals. We couldn't be happier with her service and professionalism! Thanks, Stephanie!!!

    Let me just say, Stephanie is an absolute joy to work with! She spent so much time getting to learn about us and our love story and designed a ceremony around that love. She included special touches that we were hoping for and really made the ceremony and vows so beautiful! Stephanie does everything from her heart and that heart is filled with love and joy. If you are looking for a unique ceremony that is meaningful and designed with thoughtful care, please consider working with Stephanie!

    Stephanie is an awesome Officiant. Stephanie kept in contact with us in the months prior to the wedding. She communicated what she wanted to say during the wedding and was willing to assist us if we had any questions. She was on time for each event and helped us get through the big day. Super friendly and really sweet. She was awesome. I am glad she was our officiant!

    Stephanie was amazing to work with. After a nightmare involving my first officiant, I found myself three months away from my wedding date without someone to marry us. Stephanie definitely came to my rescue. If you are looking to have a unique, handcrafted ceremony, I would highly recommend her services. She wrote my husband and I a beautiful ceremony that included our love story and special readings that we chose. She really understood what I was looking for and she was incredibly open to all of my ideas, as well. She was also very easy to get in touch with and added a wonderful stress-free element to my wedding planning that I definitely needed. She made sure that the ceremony was seamless and even reached out to my DJ and photographer to make sure everything was in order! At the conclusion of our ceremony, she gave us a wonderful keepsake of our ceremony (plus an additional special handmade gift that was adorable!) that I will keep forever. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

    Steph was incredible! I was pretty hesitant when it came to finally finding our officiant. We wanted something non-religious and non-denominational. I met with Steph and she outlined her typical ceremony. We decided to have her be our officiant and she sent us a questionnaire to get to know us better. The ceremony she created from that was incredibly beautiful. I am not a mushy person but I loooved what she did. Throughout the entire reception, after our ceremony ended, people constantly came up to the groom & I asking about our officiant and how she came up with such a lovely ceremony. Everyone thought we had known Steph for several years because she made the ceremony so personal.

    Steph is extremely easy going and welcomes any changes/edits you want to make to the ceremonies she writes. She puts a huge emphasis on you being comfortable and wants it to be your day.

    Everyone loved her vows, the ring vows, the love story and the blessing of the hands... especially the blessing of the hands!!

    We both HIGHLY recommend Steph for anyone's wedding ceremony!!! )

    Stephanie is great! She is so professional, caring, sweet and helpful. She really finds out about you and your spouse and about your relationship. She helps you write your own ceremony. She gives you ideas like: love story, honoring parents, sand ceremony, etc. she is such a happy person and she will bring such a bright, loving feel to your ceremony. I love her! She made our ceremony exactly what we always wanted and more. I would absolutely recommend her!

    Also, brides, if you need help with your makeup on your wedding day. She is amazing!

    Stephanie was absolutely, exactly what we were looking for in an officiant! She was very responsive throughout the entire process. She worked with us to craft a ceremony that was fully customized to our wants and needs. From a value perspective (cost for quality), Stephanie would be very tough to beat.

    Stephanie was wonderful thru our entire experience, from our first meeting, to crafting our ceremony back and forth with email, and finally on the big day itself! She was able to meet and exceed all our expectations and make the whole process smooth and easy. I couldn't recommend her more highly. Thank you Stephanie!

    Very professional. Extremely knowledgable and able to "tweet" services to accommodate any special needs or requests you might have. No wonder she came so highly recommended.

    Stephanie was absolutely wonderful! So sweet, patient, and happy! She brought such a positive vibe to our wedding! We could not have asked for anyone better to marry us! Our family & friends also loved our ceremony with her as our officiant. Our wedding party loved her so much & called her our fairy godmother! They wanted her to have little fairy wings on during our ceremony! (which she would probably have been up to wearing had we thought of it sooner!) She made things very easy for us and was so open to making our wedding exactly how we wanted it! It was perfect! We would definitely 100% use her again for any type of ceremony! ( She agreed to baptize our baby in a birdbath!) So we will hold her to it!

    Stephanie is a wonderful person to work with and both my husband and I recommend with 5 stars across the board! She is extremely flexible and committed to making your ceremony exactly the way you envisioned it. She is in constant communication with you and you have full control over every aspect of the ceremony. Our wedding ceremony was everything we could have ever dreamed of! She is knowledgeable, resourceful, responds quickly, and will make your day perfect. Thank you, Stephanie!

    Stephanie is an amazing person. She made our wedding day even more special. From our initial meeting to the day of the wedding she was a pleasure to work with. She customized our ceremony just for us based on a questionnaire we filled out. She emailed us a preview of the entire ceremony so we could make sure it was what we wanted, and if not, we could make changes. She also had some great ideas to incorporate into the wedding such as our family punch. We are so happy we had Stephanie do our wedding! We will definitely recommend her to others, and hope we are able to use her again in the future.

    Stephanie was above and beyond any expectations I had about an officiant. She was so friendly and worked so hard to make our ceremony special to my husband and me. She worked with us and tailored a ceremony perfect for our venue, and that reflected our personalities and love for each other. In addition to an initial meeting to discuss what we were looking for, she always responded quickly to emails. I could really tell that she loves what she does. I'd recommend her to absolutely anybody!

    10.10.21 - Excelsior Wedding

    Stephanie built a questionnaire for couples that really allows you to tell your story from your own perspective. Definitely put the effort forth for the questionnaire - This really does build the ceremony. Stephanie did an awesome job of taking our answers and arranged a beautiful ceremony for Kelsey and I. I would definitely recommend 10/10!!
