    Fabulous!

    The Wedding Officiant is a beacon of kindness, compassion, peace, stillness, and HUMOUR in this do too much time. I have been wanting to attend her Friendship Retreat for over a decade, and am still savoring the experience months later. I can’t wait to attend another one of her retreats!

    Excellent attention to detail and deeply aware of spirituality in everything.

    Heather is an outstanding Retreat leader whose spiritual center shines through in planning and execution. She is creative, wise, funny, thoughtful, compassionate, generous. She follows the Spirit's lead to let organic/emerging conversation/activities happen. She is attentive to the individual while also aware of group energy and needs. She is a gifted leader!

    Heather is kindness and connection personified

    I had the joy of attending a retreat Heather led. This was my first retreat and I can’t wait for the next one. Heather’s ability to connect with people is truly remarkable. When talking to Heather you can just feel her listening and being right there with you. She wants to understand and acknowledge your story and is eager to know more about you. I will always treasure the connections and friendships I made during the retreat. I look forward to future retreats with Heather.

    She not only officiated my wedding but I also attended her friends retreat.

    The friends retreat was located at a beautiful beach. Yummy healthy food was served. Heather had bonding activities planned for all of us who attended. It was a wonderful weekend, full of laughter (and crying), healing, bonding, making new friends and memories. I can’t wait to go next year.

    Life Coaching

    Heather Mack is positive, relaxed and efficient. She got to the heart of the matter, by first discussing my most pressing issues, then giving me ideas and strategies to help support each one of them. Though I was hazy on envisioning my future career path, Heather quickly helped me zero in on what my interests and passions were, giving me the simplest validity in going forward with pursuing them. Heather Mack is a gem of an individual, and a valuable ally in the pursuit of a well balanced life. Many thanks

    Most patient and kind!

    Heather is so compassionate about what she does. She truly cares about your ceremony being personalized which really makes the moment more special. We had no idea what to expect but she was there to help! She was so patient with us, she helped in every way that she could and I really appreciated it. We got so lucky to find her so last moment.

    Heather exceeded our expectations.

    Heather did a wonderful job officiating our elopement ceremony. She was super responsive via call, email or text and answered all of our questions. On the day of the ceremony, she showed up on time and well prepared. We highly recommend Heather!

    Great service! Amazing woman!

    Heather is a Wonder Woman! She is professional, but gets to know you on a personal level, so that she can better assist you and make your wedding a dream come true. She was prompt, friendly, and professional when she came to the venue and waited to officiate our wedding. We also enjoyed that she took a picture with us so we could have that memory for life. Would highly recommend her services to anyone looking!

    Heather was amazing! She helped us organize our vision for the ceremony, she even assisted us with some of the wedding planning, and worked with us to incorporate all the details that were important to us. We met a few times prior to the wedding to ensure everything was perfect. On the big day she arrived 110% prepared and even had an ipad with our vows to read. Her demeanor was very calming and helped me (a nervous bride) relax on the special day. I highly recommend her!

    I have been to three of Heather’s retreats and every time I come I feel welcomed and cherished. Each time I leave, I feel rejuvenated and I know that I have new friendships with women who genuinly care. Heather has a gift for bringing women together and creating ways for us to bond and enjoy each other’s company.

    I recently attended a "Miracle" themed beach retreat with Heather and it was amazing. We did a scavenger hunt for miracles, created poetry together, talked, danced on the beach, and her Mom made all of the food which was terrific, who does not like truffle cheese? I had the best time and made so many new friendships and memories I am so looking forward to next year event.

    Heather Mack created a unique weekend beach retreat bringing woman together. Heather is an expert at creating activities to promote friendship, self awareness and creativity. Heather is highly experienced and consistently eager and excited about her work. Heather is an excellent wedding officiant, and I would recommend her unique retreats, friendship circles, house/room blessings, or counseling services with confidence!

    Our event was the annual Beach Retreat. Heather Mack leads us in exercises designed to help us know ourselves better and in creating new friendships. We are free to speak, cry, laugh and play without the feeling of needing to be somewhere else, or to be someone else. She provides us with food for our bodies, minds and souls.

    This was actually a weekend retreat run by Heather, and it involved a range of activities, all of them designed to enable the participants to cut through the myriad details of daily life and to look inside ourselves, at our true nature and at our connection with each other. It showed us the need for creativity in our daily lives, and the need to celebrate life itself. It was fun, thought-provoking, and left us feeling that the weekend was well-spent.

    Heather is providing marriage coaching for my fiance and me, and she is wonderful. We met and talked about the service she will provide, and we have planned our specific "package" and I am excited to start! My fiance is happy that this isn't a traditional "marriage counseling" pre-wedding counseling, but rather the facilitation of meaningful conversation and open communication. I love the personal attention and individualization we will receive.

    Heather Mack officiated at the memorial service for my father. The family sincerely appreciated the inclusion of three generations in a meaningful, loving, personal service for a Dad, Grandpa, and Great-Grandpa. Rev. Mack took time with several family members to really get to know the man he was and the values by which he lived.

    Heather traveled from Portland, OR to McCall, ID to officiate our wedding. On a day that is often known to be stressful, she put both my husband and me and ease. She met with us to discuss exactly how we would like to tailor our wedding, and it was a perfect reflection of what we wanted.

    Heather was available as needed for any questions. During the ceremony she also had the friend who introduced my husband and I stand up so that they could be acknowledged. I LOVED this extra touch. I would highly recommend Heather Mack.

    Heather Ann,
    We are very grateful to you for helping us to make our wedding ceremony unforgettable!
    We felt very comfortable with you. You were very enthusiastic about our stories and open minded about the way we wanted to have our wedding ceremony.
    You were willing to work with people from two cultures (Dutch and Guatemalan) speaking different languages (Dutch and Spanish).
    You are a very kind and flexibel person.

    I have attended several of Heather's retreats, and each time it quickly becomes obvious that she puts a lot of care into planning a retreat that truly feeds the soul. Her thoughtful creativity provides a self-enhancing weekend full of fun, laughter and fostering friendship. She is very understanding, and knows how to guide people into getting what they want out of their experience.

    Heather is deeply committed to assisting ALL couples at this most important times of their lives. She meets with couples for extended lengths of time before the "big day" to ensure that the actual ceremony is a symbolic event to be cherished and remembered. Nowadays, people are so concerned with the wedding websites, invites, and registries, sometimes the ceremony is lost in the chaos. Heather reminds couples to focus on love, shared spirituality and partnership. Her sense of whimsy is also a bonus! Queer LGBTQ and trans friendly.

    Heather is very sweet and accommodating, I am glad we had a very informal ceremony, and that she worked with us on her pricing for officiating our wedding...because, if we had paid full price, I don't think I would have been satisfied. I have worked with other officiants before, but she was a bit awkward during our ceremony...and even before...and she even mis-pronounced my husband's surname. All in all, it was a sweet ceremony, but the reading of the vows didn't exactly come out the way it was written. She did try...maybe she was having an off day?
