Working with Ebbony as our officiant was an absolute delight! Her responsiveness and support leading up to the wedding were exceptional. We were thoroughly impressed by her expertise and professionalism during our meetings to discuss the logistics. Ebbony went above and beyond by providing us with a thoughtful questionnaire about our relationship, which she skillfully incorporated into a deeply personal and heartfelt ceremony. We received numerous compliments on how personal our ceremony was! Ebbony promptly submitted our wedding license the following Monday, even sharing photos as proof for our peace of mind. We wholeheartedly recommend Ebbony as an officiant - she exceeded our expectations in every way!

Details: Wedding • Non-religious (no mention of God) • 101 - 150 guests • Help writing vows will not be needed • English • Officiant will not be needed at the rehearsal

Ebbony is incredible & strongly recommend her. We feel so lucky to come across her page and have her as our officiant. Truly couldn't have asked for a better person on our special day. It felt like we've known her forever and she made everything so comfortable. She is an excellent communicator, flexible, and was so easy to work with throughout the process. She wrote our vows and we chose not review them prior to the ceremony. Which ended up perfect, they were a surprise and she captured our story, both of our personalities and values throughout. She radiates the love, sweetness and happiness of such a special day. We were married at the San Francisco City Hall. Ebbony was early and had already scoped out the location. We were late and she led us to where we needed to be and settled us down. Her professionalism, warmth and ability to guide us through such an important moment in our lives, is something we'll never forget. Thank you so much!

For a very reasonable price, Ebbony was a perfect officiant. She was there for Amanda and myself every time we needed to talk to her, and she also helped us be productive and get everything we needed done on time, such as finding our location and witness, writing our vows, and purchasing our marriage license. She let us know when she wouldn't be able to talk, and was available and quick to respond the whole rest of the time. She took all of our silly and sometimes outlandish requests completely seriously, and was super helpful and open to anything we had in mind. She put together a perfect and beautifully written ceremony, and was always friendly and cheerful.

Ebbony is always such a pleasure to work with. Her communication is to be admired. As a wedding planner, I always know that my clients are in good hands when Ebbony is conducting their ceremony. She is professional and reliable and makes each and every one of her ceremonies unique to each couple. I do not hesitate in recommending Ebbony to all my clients.
