    Amazing officiant

    We are so happy we chose Gizelda as our officiant because she went above and beyond for us on our wedding day! It was very important for us to hire a Black woman, and we couldn’t be happier to find Gizelda. She was very detailed and responsive, which made us feel at ease throughout the planning process. She was always prompt and made sure that she was a part of every moment necessary.

    We had a major issue the morning of our wedding when the hotel staff mistakenly discarded our marriage application and you can imagine - It was very very tense and stressful. But remained calm and assured us that she would make sure that we would get things fixed. She helped us every step of the way and we couldn’t be more appreciative for all of her work and her kindness. Our family all commented on how nice she was, and it was great to see her talking and connecting with our family and friends. we would definitely recommend her and certainly hire her again, and again!

    The Officiant was very nice, welcoming, and professional.

    Awesome wedding officiant! We had a surprised 70s Themed wedding. She made the ceremony’s so smooth and welcoming. It was also my 40th birthday, but the sweetest thing was it was her birthday as well, and she still made time to be a part of my event.

    Took us under her wing.

    Mrs. Toomer was highly professional. She took us under her wing & held our hand through the whole process like she was our mom. She was very respectful of our heritage & traditions. Our day was a success because of her. Though we had a few bumps here & there on our end, she helped us remain calm & got us to our goal. I would recommend her to everyone I know that's getting wed.

    Fantastic!

    Miss Toomer was excellent, she was timely and communicated with us every step of the way. Being from out-of-state and unfamiliar with Louisiana’s marriage process, she was a God-send to us as she gave us instructions, directions to the venue, and very reasonably priced. She is friendly and personable, we would recommend her services to anyone in-state or visiting to tie the knot!

    Toomer's Tax, Notary and Wedding Officiant Services's reply:

    I am so excited for you two. It was such a pleasure to share this special day with you. I wish you all the success in your marriage. Feel free to contact me anytime.

    An Amazing Officiant

    Gizelda Toomer was such an amazing officiant!

    She was open to all of our questions before the wedding, reached out about a month prior and then 5 day before the wedding with some information. She showed up to the wedding at the right time and checked in with our planner. Her professionalism and mannerism were much appreciated on our hectic day. We were a little worried since we were coming to New Orleans as an out of state couple and didn't formally meet Ms. Toomer in person but she was definitely the right fit for our wedding.

    Although my husband and I were basically fascinated by each other during the whole wedding, we did hear everything that was explained and she did a very thorough job of explaining the meaning behind what was going on such as sharing our own vows, our sand ceremony, and jumping the broom. We received many compliments from our guest on Ms. Toomer. She also took some beautiful photos of my husband and I after the wedding (I wish we got more photos with her though to post to this review).

    Also, we were very appreciative of the amazing wedding gift she gave us as well. If you are searching for an officiant, Gizelda Toomer is absolutely amazing, we HIGHLY recommend her. Thank you!

    Hi Jade and Justin,
    It was definitely a pleasure officiating your wedding. You were simply a beautiful bride. Everything turned out beautifully. I wish you the very best in your marriage. Congratulations!

    Gizelda was incredible to work with and we would recommend her to any couples looking to get married in New Orleans! The ceremony she performed was beautiful and had us tearing up. We had multiple guests come up to us during our reception and compliment how wonderful our officiant was. Thank you so much, Gizelda!!

    Excellent Service!

    We had a small, intimate ceremony this past Saturday and Gizelda was amazing! We wrote our own vows, but the words Gizelda used for the rest of the ceremony were absolutely beautiful! She was very responsive throughout all of our communications. I have already requested her services for the "post-COVID" ceremony we will be having next year! I absolutely recommend her!

    Amazing wedding officant

    We had to hold our wedding in the difficult period of the pandemic. It was a simple ceremony held on our porch with social distancing guidelines. We are so glad we had Gizelda as our officiant in these difficult circumstances. She had such a kind and strong presence and made everything easier. The vows she prepared were beautiful. I strongly recommend her!

    Gizelda Toomer made our wedding ceremony special!

    We were a wayward couple with no plan, no witnesses, and could not even find the venue. Gizelda and her family found us, directed us, and created a very special ceremony/memory. She was patient, her words were beautiful, and her presence was calming. I would marry my husband all over again, just to spend another afternoon with Gizelda. She is a gem!

    Toomer's Tax, Notary and Wedding Officiant Services's reply:

    Aww, that is so sweet! It was such a pleasure meeting you two. It was a perfect day for a marriage ceremony. It was simple and beautiful. So happy I was able to unite both of you in marriage. I wish you the very best in your new life together.

    Ms. Gizelda gave us a stress free and reliable experience for our wedding ceremony. She was on time and was very patient when our ceremony fell a little bit behind schedule. She gave a warm, calm presence during the entire ceremony. I highly recommend Ms. Gizelda if you are looking for a flexible, reliable and stress-free Officiant!
