    It was perfect!

    Brooke got back to me right away and we were so lucky she was available! We wanted a very simple, easy, and private ceremony and that's exactly what we got, it was perfect.

    The Marriage Mate's reply:

    Thank you for the kind review! I am happy I could help out with your special day! I wish you and Michael the best life together!

    Fun and easy ceremony with Brooke

    Brooke was very easy to work with, asked us questions about our relationship and provided us with the perfect ceremony. She thoughtfully incorporated items from the conversations we had with her and captured the sentiment we were going for.
    Multiple people told me that they really liked the officiant throughout the night and I would respond “us too!!”

    The Marriage Mate's reply:

    Thanks so much Faith! You both were so easy to work with, I really appreciated it! Loved being a partvof your day!!

    Great Communication

    Recommended by my friend who had work with Brooke before, he gave me a great feedback with Brooke so I chose Brooke as my Elopement ceremony. She was very responsive and flexible on the requests I asked her!

    The Marriage Mate's reply:

    Thank you ChiaYu! I appreciate the kind words. Thoroughly enjoyed the great day at Gas Works Park! Fabulous spot!!

    Brooke is awesome!

    It was a pleasure to work with Brooke as our officiant! From the beginning Brooke was friendly, communicative and professional. She made the process seamless and we received compliments of her ceremony during our reception. Most of all, Brooke was so thoughtful and even offered to help me with my train once I arrived at the alter *swoon*. Thank you again, Brooke!!

    The Marriage Mate's reply:

    Thank you Patricia! Your ceremony was so quaint and intimate. I live going to St.Edwards, the grounds are beautiful, even enjoyed the extra onlookers, that stayed to enjoy the ceremony.... everyone enjoys love ❤️!

    Brooke is Special

    Brooke is hands down the best there is & can’t say enough good things about her. We knew as soon as we met her, she was the one. She’s very thoughtful, warm, organized and gently guides you through the process. Her ceremony that she put together was amazing and was open to making changes to better fit our relationship. Our only regret is that she doesn’t live closer otherwise we’d adopt her as one of our best friends.

    Re: pics, (if that’s important to you) she has an incredible understated yet modern style that will only compliment your photos AND knows exactly where to stand so when you get your wedding photos back, you’ll be incredibly pleased.

    Hands down no regrets and worth every penny. Should probably charge more if we’re being honest.

    The Marriage Mate's reply:

    Thank you for the generous review Mattina, I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of your and Michael's day! Wish you were closer! But anytime you're in the Bellevue area, please look me up!

    Fantastic and highly recommended

    Brooke was simply fantastic. Professional and prompt in her communications, and when we met in person the day of my wedding I could tell she had a calm and patient way about her. She is thorough and lets you know the plan ahead of time which does wonders for your nerves the day of! I would recommend her to anyone who asks. Brooke, thank you for the wonderful experience! This happy couple appreciates it.

    The Marriage Mate's reply:

    My pleasure, ofcourse! I really enjoyed being a part of your special day.

    Flexible & Inclusive

    Brooke was great to work with. We wanted to do a personal ceremony that was unique to us, and she was more than happy to oblige. She wrote up a new ceremony draft for our unique parts, and worked with us as we finalized the draft. She printed our vows, and created a space that was welcoming to all. We would highly recommend her!

    The Marriage Mate's reply:

    Thank you Michael! Was my pleasure to work with you both. Congratulations and best wishes forward!!!!

    I felt confident with Brooke.

    We had such a great experience with Brooke, she is really relaxing, easy going, but also had such sweet and deep questions for my partner and I to get to know us. We received a copy of what she was going to say beforehand and she really worked with us to keep the tone, content and feeling to what we wished for. We were very happy.

    Thank you Dru and Alex, you were both great! Volunteer conservatory was beautiful, and Drusilla, you had the best dress I have seen... loved😍 it!!

    Absolutely wonderful

    Brooke worked with us in very short notice, within just a couple weeks of our wedding day. We did an elopement-style wedding and she was very responsive and clear about the whole process. We did a zoom call with her where she answered all of our questions. It was a very affordable and fair price. She gave us a template ceremony script and we got to tailor it exactly how we wanted it. She arrived at the ceremony site bright and early (probably about 15-20 minutes before her “scheduled” time) and had no issue coming out to a park to do our ceremony. She made sure to ask what kind of attire we would be wearing (in case we were eloping in casual clothes) so that she could dress appropriately for it. Meeting her in person, she is so kind and so great to have for a ceremony! Plus, now I get to tell everyone we got married by an officiant from Love is Blind 😜

    The Marriage Mate's reply:

    Thank you Lori for your kind words! It was an absolute pleasure to go to such a beautiful park to do your ceremony! I wish you both the very best!

    Lots of options, especially for budget weddings

    I appreciated how Brooke offered the Daisy package, which is "we come to you" offering, so we met her in a Bellevue park along with our witnesses and it was beautiful! Brooke was great - professional, quick, accommodating and overall warm and kind. Thanks, Brooke!

    The Marriage Mate's reply:

    Thanks so much Sandie! It was great to be a part of your special day! Loved the track suits!!

    Absolutely phenomenal!!

    We found Brooke through our wedding venue as she was on their "preferred vendor list" and let me tell you... she did NOT disappoint! Brooke was absolutely phenomenal!! From the very beginning stages, to the wedding, and even after in helping us secure our marriage license. I do not have enough good things to say about this woman! She was absolutely amazing and it was such a pleasure working with her. We absolutely adored her! She went above and beyond and I feel so lucky that we had her as our wedding officient.

    The Marriage Mate's reply:

    Thanks so much Chelsea for the great review you guys were awesome as well I thoroughly enjoyed my time with your family

    Brooke exceeded all of our expectations. She was highly professional and guided us through the entire process. She assisted with all paperwork and venue. She always responded to our questions, needs, and requests in a timely manner. Highly recommend!

    Brooke was perfect.

    Very happy that we chose Brooke to officiate our wedding. We appreciated her communication, her flexibility, and how she accommodated all that we wanted from our wedding. We did not have to worry about the legal aspects either as Brooke handled that so we could fully enjoy the experience of our wedding.

    Won't need her again but wouldnt hesitate to recommend

    Brooke was such a rockstar. She was professional and helpful through out the entire process and did exactly what was discussed. She took our families in stride even when one told a story about a lucky cricket in Mulan. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

    Dream Officiant!

    Brooke is a gem of a human being and truly deserves all the good things in the world! We could not have been more lucky to find her and have her marry us not once, but twice! In May of 2020 when the world was in turmoil we decided to postpone our original wedding plans and elope. It was just the two of us, Brooke and a photographer in an elevated elopement ceremony in our home and Brooke made as feel as if we were at our originally planned wedding. She took so much care in making sure our day was so special.
    She truly left a mark on us and her support of the LGBTQ community meant the world to us!
    Fast forward to 2022 when we called her to tell her we would love for her to officiate our sequel wedding and she was as thrilled as we were.
    She followed our unique request to wearing white and she showed up looking like a goddess!
    She took her time to work with us and make sure the layout of the ceremony was exactly what we wanted. She even made us a commemorative wedding certificate for our second wedding!
    So thoughtful!! Truly meant to be doing the work she does. Thank you so much Brooke. You made both of our weddings so special and so personal to us and we couldn’t be more thankful!

    The Marriage Mate's reply:

    Thank you so much! You both were a joy to work with! It was my pleasure to be a part of both of your special days! Much joy to both of you

    Beautiful service

    We wanted our wedding to be the most casual affair and we expected the service to be that too. Brooke was easy to contact and easy to book, very friendly and timely. She managed to surprise us, as she elevated the ceremony from our expected casual to a very touching, emotional, and unforgettable time. Her words about marriage were pure poetry, with wise and tender advice interlaced at every step. It showed that she put a lot of thought and heart into it, and that she found the right inspiration to pass on to those taking the marriage vows.

    The Marriage Mate's reply:

    Thank you so much Daniela! You family and friends were so sweet and kind. It was my pleasure to do your ceremony.

    Brooke was the best!

    Brooke was AMAZING! We were very short on time with finding an officiant. I messaged her late in thee night, and the next morning she replied to me. I told her the date and time we were getting married (in 4 days) and she said she could make it work! She made the ceremony very meaningful with her words as well. I am very glad to have worked with her.

    Brooke is awesome!

    My husband and I got married in May 2021 and Brooke officiated our wedding. She was very responsive during our initial communication via email and she took the time to meet with us in person to get to know about us and allowed us to get to know about her before we even booked her. We loved her honesty, transparency and enthusiasm and the way she connected with us. That reflected in the ceremony outline which was personalized, light hearted, meaningful and not too formal, just like how we wanted it to be. She also made the process of signing our marriage certificates and getting certified copies very easy and straightforward. Brooke is awesome and we highly recommend her if you are looking for an officiant who will make your ceremony memorable!
