She's the One You Want

From the very start, Shaughan was incredible. She was knowledgeable, attentive, and good at communicating. We were wanting to have a traditional Filipino ceremony on top of our regular ceremony, and she went above and beyond to make sure that all the details that came with the Filipino ceremony were correct and executed flawlessly.
Shaughan is incredible because she is able to perfectly pair humour with seriousness. She writes the ceremony so well and keeps it light when it needs to be which is what my husband and I were looking for when choosing an officiant. She gets little details from you about your relationship and uses it in the ceremony which makes it that much more personable.
I would definitely recommend her to anyone! So grateful to have had her as our officiant for our wedding!

Exactly what we needed

Shaughan made our ceremony exactly what we wanted it to be. It was short, sweet, and she added a bit of humor. She was flexible when we needed to move dates at the last minute due to covid.

A great fit for our ceremony

We knew when we met Shaughan that she was the one who we wanted to perform our ceremony. Her easy-going personality and punch line jokes really helped us to relax and laugh even through the nerves of standing up at the altar. She made the whole experience very easy and was extremely flexible and adaptable.
