    Amazing Experience ❤️

    Retta is absolutely wonderful! She was so easy to work with and we loved how She really cared that she was able to get mine and my husband’s love story correct! That meant alot to us and we really enjoyed the whole process that went into planning the ceremony with her.
    She was able to pull together both of our stories so well! She did an amazing job the way she was able to capture it and then hearing how it all came together was just Priceless to not only us, but our families too!
    Our guests even commented (multiple times) on how Romantic the ceremony was from beginning to end! Retta played a big part in that and with her help, we ended up having the ceremony of our dreams!!
    We definitely would recommend Retta to any couple looking for an officiant.
    From day one she was in constant contact with me.
    Being an officiant she’s able to be surrounded by love and It seems to shine thru in how much she really loves what she does and how much she cares about each and every one of her couples too.
    Retta,
    Thanks again for everything, you went above and beyond for us, and you really helped to make our day that much more special!❤️

    Professional, thoughtful, amazing !

    Retta was an absolute dream to work with. She spent so much time making sure our vision came to life and was always there to answer any questions we had. She made recommendations that I really appreciated and her experience was so evident.
    Our ceremony was everything we wanted it to be. There were moments that made us laugh, made us reminisce, and made us just filled with joy.
    Thank you so much Retta ! We will so fondly remember our ceremony forever!

    Thank you so much for your very kind words! You were a dream couple to work with! Thank you for choosing me! 💕

    Wonderful Ceremony!

    Retta was an incredible officiant, she made sure the day was organized and everyone knew what they were supposed to do. Her calm and confident demeanour really helped my wife’s nerves prior to the ceremony. The way she told our love story was funny, uplifting, yet beautiful. Thank you Retta for an incredible ceremony we will never forget! I would highly recommend the ceremony maven.

    The Ceremony Maven's reply:

    Thank you for this review and the honour of being your officiant! I love your story and now you have many more chapters to write 💕

    Retta Schick

    We would recommend Retta to any couple getting married looking for an officiant! She was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond any expectations we had. Retta was recommended by our wedding planners and venue and we now know why. From the moment we had our first phone call with Retta we knew she was going to be perfect. She is so kind, welcoming and was instantly easy to talk to. We were able to meet with Retta to go over all of the details of the ceremony and she was extremely prepared and very organized (she definitely knows what she is doing)!
    She truly gets involved and gets to know you as a couple, and she even went out of her way to hear about our relationship from loved ones. Retta had given us what she calls workshops and these were questions we could answer and she would use in order to create our love story (which she presents during the ceremony for the first time), this was my favourite part because we got to hear our love story and have it shared out loud for all of our family and friends, it was so special.
    She kept our guests all interested and intrigued during the entire ceremony. Retta is amazing and we would not want to have had anyone else officiate our wedding! Thank you so much Retta!

    Truly perfect

    Retta Schick was truly the perfect officiant for our wedding from beginning to end. She had been a recommendation made by our venue. We met with Retta and instantly we knew that she was the officiant we wanted. Retta was so compassionate and genuine. She was flexible to our needs and more then helpful and very organized. She captured our story beautifully. We were able to review the ceremony in advance and I cried every time I read it. It was beautiful. She did a thorough presentation of our relationship which added to the ceremony. We truly could not have been happier. We would recommend Retta every time.

    She did a wonderful job

    Retta did the ceremony for myself and my wife Taylor. She wrote a beautiful story about how we met and how we got to where we are at the altar. Everyone who was in attendance said the ceremony was beautiful. She really did a wonderful job.

    Both of my wife and I aren't always the most eloquent speakers but she took our answers to her questions and spun a story that was beautiful from start to finish and true to actual events.

    If you place your wedding ceremony in her hands you are in good hands to have a memorable experience.

    As for the question at the start "would you recommend them to a friend?"
    I already have twice and it's only been a week since our ceremony.

    The Ceremony Maven's reply:

    Thank you so much for these kind words! | loved learning about your journey together and creating your Love story Ceremony! The best compliment I can receive is a referral so I appreciate that very much!
    Congratulations Taylor & Michael! 💕

    The most wonderful officiant

    Retta was absolutely incredible. From the first moment we spoke, my now husband and I connected with her immediately. She is warm, kind, and communicative. She was with us every step of the way, taking the time to get to know us and our story, which really translated into the beautiful ceremony she delivered for us. It felt so personal and reflective of our journey together to the altar and beyond. We are so appreciative for her time, effort and attention to detail. She was amazing at helping guide and direct our rehearsal as well as keeping us calm and excited on the big day, and she answered any questions we had about the more logistical aspects to getting married. We would highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much Retta!

    The Ceremony Maven's reply:

    Sophie, thank you so much for this review! It was wonderful getting to know you and Eric and telling your special Love Story! I am so happy that you liked it! 💕
