Everything as WONDERFUL! Stephanie was a class act, very clearly loves what she does. She said, "Your officant should be the least stressful part of your day." And she absolutely was. Very efficient in the preparation, and she wrote a beautiful set of vows. She was prompt in her responses and listened to everything we said. Ours was also a little time sensitive, and she had everything ready in a less than a week. If it was the sort of thing one did more than once, we would absolutely would use her again (maybe a vow renewal down the road!) and would recommend Stephanie to anyone who needs someone for their special day!! You will not regret it!!! Thanks again!!!! -Tyler and Phillip

I am so humbled - I can't thank you enough! It was an honor to be there, to see the genuine love and joy and be able to make it official for you both. You're a beautiful couple and I am so glad we are in time when the rest of the world has finally caught up. Love and best wishes to you both!

Stephanie was wonderful. We wanted a short, sweet, and simple ceremony and that was exactly what she gave us. She was punctual and worked with us to get the perfect wording and sentiment. She was also quick to complete the necessary paperwork.

She was absolutely amazing! We had a small ceremony in Alexandria, Virginia and she made our wedding day the day we always imagined we would have. The vows she read were exactly what we requested. I highly suggest that you hire her for your special day!
