    Anthony is a great officiant!

    We had the pleasure of working with Anthony Behrens as our officiant last fall. He was friendly, responsive, timely, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend his services!

    Professional Officiant

    I highly recommend Emily and her husband Anthony! Anthony was extremely helpful with the behind the scenes work before the ceremony, he sent us sample ceremonies and edited our custom ceremony. He provided good feedback for the flow of the ceremony and was very responsive. On the day of the wedding Emily officiated our ceremony beautifully, she was very composed and spoke articulately. Her calm demeanor made both my husband and I feel at ease at the altar and we got many compliments on her officiating skills.

    Elopement in Oregon

    I reached out to the Wedding Judge in desperation trying to find someone who could perform my wedding ceremony on very short notice and honestly could not have asked for a more professional and smooth experience. The day of the wedding went so well, Henry was on time and very professional and the prepared speech was beautiful. Again I am so grateful I was able to find them and that they were able to fit us in! Definitely recommend!

    Excellent Officiant

    Anthony was very helpful through the entire process. We weren’t entirely sure how to approach the process but he made it so easy. He gave us a wedding ceremony checklist to assist with what we needed. He gave us good location recommendations and was extremely flexible when we decided to change our location. Henry, the officiant, was also very nice and amazing. He gave us ideas on where we could do the ceremony at Trillium Lake. The entire experience was a 10/10 thanks to both of them and I 100% recommend them for your wedding/elopement.

    Anthony was such an amazing officiant. He helped us all the way through the ceremony. With beforehand giving us a ton of tips and tricks to make things easier for us, & always welcoming new ideas or different changes to any part of the scripts. Hands down, has been super valuable and affordable for our budget.

    Made our wedding day easier

    As disorganized as our wedding day felt Anthony really made this so quick and easy. It was super helpful that he provided a guide on what steps you need to take in order to get married. I also loved how he provided a Spanish ceremony for our family who doesn’t speak any English. He was also super flexible when we had to push back our ceremony an hour later. Couldn’t have done it any better.

    Fantastic Ceremony

    Emily did an amazing job for our ceremony.
    From guiding us through creating our ceremony, through the real deal, Emily exceeded all our expectations.
    I recommend them to anyone planning a wedding ceremony.

    Anthony was amazing!

    Anthony was really helpful and responsive. He gave us step by step resources that explained exactly what to do so that we had our marriage license all ready to go. He filed it for us within a few days after the wedding! Our Christian ceremony was exactly what I had hoped it would be!

    The ceremony was great, Anthony was very kind and professional. He helped my wife with some of her lines when she was nervous.

    Anthony was great at explaining the ceremony process to my husband. He was very kind and polite, even when the plans were not layed out all the time.

    Amazing , Kind & Professional.

    Anthony was amazing ! He was on time , offered a variety of vows, honors any type of ceremony that a person wants . He is very non - judgmental and kind . I got married in prison and thought it was going to be an awful experience.. However, it was fun and Anthony’s services made it easy going and comfortable .He was definitely dressed for the occasion and his pricing is very competitive. Highly recommend!

    Knowledgeable, friendly and professional

    Mr. Behrens was a joy to work with. My husband is incarcerated and the chaplain had several officiants to choose from but the inmates heard great things about Mr. Behrens. To hear that from other inmates was hugely important because communication within the prison system is convoluted to say the least. Mr. Behrens was prompt on email responses, he is very flexible to last minute ceremony speeches, he is very good at officiating.

    We had a great ceremony despite it being in a prison, but with the love/support of family and friends and Mr. Behren we almost forgot where we were for an hour.
    You will not be disappointed in his services.

    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.

    Courthouse style wedding

    Anthony was so nice and friendly! He was very quick to respond and upfront about pricing. He went above and beyond providing all kinds of helpful information about the process. He was extremely professional and I appreciated the care and confidentiality with our personal information. He was so flexible and willing to do exactly what we were looking for on our special day. We did a courthouse style wedding and it was so easy. I highly recommend him!

    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!
