    Anthony was more than willing to let us take the lead and make up our own ceremony script. He was always there when called upon and always willing to listen to suggestions without discrimination. He never told us we could not do something he simply said "if that's what you prefer". My husband and I were very pleased with his mannerisms and he was up beat and friendly during the entire process. He also photographed well which was a big thing for us. We needed some one who was photogenic and he certainly fit that bill. Thanks Anthony for everything, you made our day a little extra special. Sincerely, The Hagerman Family

    I wouldn’t want anyone else to marry us if we did it again

    Emily was amazing, she showed up in all black which match our guest attire to a T which was perfect. Emily was so professional it was amazing. Emily rolled with any changes but we only had one which was to announce an unplugged ceremony. When my father in laws phone went off Emily paused and picked up like nothing happened. During vow reading Emily stepped aside. Emily knew the lay of the land it was amazing.

    Perfect Halloween wedding on the beach

    Anthony made the whole process so easy and fun! We couldn't have been happier with our ceremony and we will both recommend Anthony to anyone getting married in the area. Great price, amazing ceremony, hassle free. We were married on Halloween and thought it would be so cool if our officiant was in costume and Anthony nailed it! Thank you so much for helping make our day so special!

    Very Personable and Charismatic!

    I’ll be honest, I had no idea what I was doing planning this thing, and it was a little past our ceremony start time and everyone was still chatting. I told Emily that we were needing to start soon and I was struggling to get everyone in their seats, so she made an announcement for me, everyone got seated quickly, and we were able to get started. She even reminded the family to stand up when it was my turn to walk with my dad, which I totally forgot was a thing and definitely made me feel like a princess!!!!

    Amazing and super flexible!

    We got a response back in less than 24 hours. They were super flexible and worked with us and made the process extremely simple. We just did a legal signing but Emily still made it super official and put a loving twist on it. I would highly recommend her!

    Perfection

    Anthony performed our wedding ceremony and it was perfect! He was calm, confident, and professional. Anthony was easy to communicate with prior to the wedding and was flexible with our last minute request of adding a ring warming ceremony. The variety of scripts to choose from were fantastic. The ceremony was our favorite part of the wedding day! Anthony was also very helpful afterwards with guidance in regards to licensure. 10/10!

    Perfectly Us

    Emily empowered us to have every single detail of our special occasion to be for and about us and exactly how we wanted it. She was an incredible resource during preparations before and the day of. She gave us the reigns while still making sure things went forward.

    Amazing!

    We were more than happy with our experience. Anthony was very professional, responsive and helpful with any questions that we had. He sent us links, information, and broke down the process step by step which relived us with all the pressure that comes with planning a wedding. Our officiant that was assigned to us, Emily, was on-time, friendly, responsive to any of our questions that we had and meeting her in person was such a delight. She made us feel so happy on our wedding day and made lovely comments that boosted us through out our day. 10/10 AMAZING!!!

    Anthony was absolutely amazing. Out of all our vendors we hired, Anthony communicated with us the most. We appreciated Anthony’s personable and professionalism during our ceremony. He truly made the ceremony special.

    Wonderful Ceremony thanks to Anthony!

    Anthony was one of the easiest vendors to work with and was very professional in his communication with us. My husband and I were very overwhelmed with the planning of a wedding and Anthony had a variety of ceremony styles to offer us. We did not want the additional stress of having to write our own vows, though he did offer this to us, or having another vendor to have to communicate with frequently/ meetings so Anthony was perfect for us. Anthony has a very pleasant voice which made him easy to listen to and did not detract from our ceremony. I had so many people come up and complimented us on the beautiful message of the ceremony. Anthony did file our marriage license for us which was a huge help since this was a destination wedding for us. Anthony was not involved with the rehearsal and we met him during our ceremony. This is what we were looking for, someone to just show up and marry us! However, I can see how some couples would want a more involved process with their officiant. I thought it was a very fair price for the delivery of a beautiful ceremony.

    Most painless part of the process

    Anthony is a well seasoned officiant - easy to work with, kind, organized, and knowledgeable about the business aspect of the marriage. He did wonderfully during our ceremony and we even heard from guests that he had the “perfect voice” to officiate such a beautiful occasion. Haha!
    Thank you Anthony!

    5-Star seasoned wedding officiant who speaks English & Spanish

    Such a great experience hiring Anthony to be our wedding officiant. His vibe is more relaxed and less formal which is what we wanted. He knew exactly what to do and made us both feel comfortable during the whole ceremony. He even filed our marriage license for us so we could take it off our plate. Highly recommend hiring to officiate your wedding. - Kevin & Berenice

    Amazing Officiant

    Anthony was the best! I changed the ceremony time maybe 4 times and the location of the ceremony three times due to weather. He was so understanding and kind about the changes. Very professional and personable.

    I found myself in a pinch the day before my wedding day in OR (we are from MO) and needed a minister asap! I couldn't believe the responsiveness Anthony gave, it was so kind. Anthony was very kind and very helpful the day before and the day of! It was the easiest and best experience start to finish! We are so glad things worked out and we go to share our day with Anthony!

    Communicative and reliable throughout!

    We really enjoyed working with Anthony for our ceremony. From the initial reach out to the after ceremony email to inform us how to obtain copies of our marriage license, Anthony was always quick to respond and provide us with the information we needed. For the ceremony script, he provided us with a packet containing sample scripts to go from, and we could feel free to modify them as we liked. All his actions during the wedding itself showed that he is a true professional! Thank you Anthony!
