We had a small outdoor backyard wedding and was made even more of perfect wedding having such a kind, friendly and professional officiant. She was on time and prepared a beautiful ceremony and you can tell she cares as looking back at some pictures I noticed some tears being wiped away. I would highly recommend this service to anyone and can honestly say you won't regret it. Thank you again for making my special day so incredibly perfect!!

Barbara was an absolute pleasure to work with! We wanted our friend to perform the ceremony, but still needed an officiant present on the day to make everything legal. Even though Barbara did not perform our ceremony, she was always available to answer questions, and still helped me write my ceremony, providing guidance and templates, and ensuring all of our pre and post wedding paperwork was taken care of. I would absolutely reccommend Barbara! She was also way more pleasant to deal with than some of the bigger local companies we looked into.

Barbara was an excellent officiant. She helped us personalized our service so that it was a reflection of us and that made the day extra special. I would definitely recommend Barbara for her professionalism, dedication to personalizing our ceremony, and flexibility as well as her positive and accommodating approach to us and our day. Thank you for helping to make our day memorable.

My husband and I were married on NYE during the day and Barbara made it extra special! She really got to know both of us and was very accommodating in all areas of the wedding ceremony itself! We were given choices that fit exactly what we were looking for and felt so comfortable with her officiating our wedding. We could not have asked for anyone better!!

Barbara was amazing, her professionalism and ability to work with our ambitions on our wedding day made it so easy!
From the first contact, to greeting myself (the bride at the car) everything just flowed perfectly.
We cannot express our gratitude enough, our wedding would not have been the same without her and we cannot recommend her enough for anyone considering her services for their day.

Thank you Barb!

Barb was fantastic! My husband and I needed to get married under a time constraint and within a small window due to him leaving the country for work and Barb was really accommodating with our timeline. She was very professional and very quick with replying to all of my questions. She allowed us to check off on how the ceremony was going to go ahead of time and it was perfect. I highly recommend.
