My fiancé and I have been together for almost 16 years, so when he graduated from college (for the last time) we knew it was time to get married. We planned our ceremony in less than a week and it was made possible with the guidance and kindness of Guylene. She answered us right away, got us on a phone call within minutes, and helped us get organized. She was a light to have at our service, made everyone smile and brought a warmth we will be forever grateful for. Happy to have her as a part of our special day.

Guylene was excellent. I couldn’t ask for a better officiant. She was early, very responsive, attentive and down-to-earth. We had a wonderful time with her and we would highly recommend her. She took photos for us and made our special day even more beautiful. We are very thankful we found her.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing as a wedding officiant is flexible and varies depending on the type of ceremony and location. Whether it's simple elopement or a more elaborate ceremony, I work with each couple to provide a fair rate that reflects the time, preparation and personalization that goes into making your special day perfect, my goal is to offer a memorable and profesional experience at an affordable price. I'm happy to discuss details upfront so there are no surprises, and I can tailor my services to meet your needs,
For my Mobile notary services, my pricing is straightforward and competitive. The fee typically depends on the type and number of documents being notarized, as well as the distance travel to meet you.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My typical process working with couples begins with getting to know the couple and understanding their vision for the ceremony, I usually start with a consultation to discuss their preference, any special rituals or vows they'd like to include and the overall tone they want for their wedding day. When someone needs a mobile notary, my process is simple and efficient, I confirm the details of the documents that need notarizing and arrange a convenient time and location for the meeting, upon arrival, I verify the identity of the signer ensure all necessary documents are in order and proceed notarizing them.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
