Gail was professional, kind, understanding, and helped make our wedding day fantastic! I would certainly recommend Gail to any couple searching for an officiant!

I highly recommend Gail for your officiant needs. After the initial consultation, we communicated on several occasions well before the wedding date to plan details specific to the ceremony. Communication throughout the entire process was very professional and thorough, which made for a stressless experience. Drawing upon her experience, Gail brought insightful suggestions and recommendations that aligned well with our specific needs. Our ceremony and experience were exactly as described and we couldn’t be happier. I would highly recommend Gail and her services to anyone, friends and family.

We’re beyond thrilled to have found Gail for our special day. We reached out to her on a tight timeline for a non traditional wedding at our home and she was able to accommodate us. In our initial call, she asked all of the questions that we didn’t even consider - she’s thorough, detailed, and a consummate professional. We’d highly recommend Gail…if we could get married again we’d make the same choice in a heartbeat!!

I cannot say enough about this wonderful lady. She was on top of everything. She went over every single detail and spent probably two hours of her own time just getting to know us and what we wanted before I even hired her! She is number one for a reason. She cares, this matters to her. She is not just a person who marries you but is a huge part of seeing you happy and it brings her joy. Will send pictures once available! Thank you Mrs. Olberg for being a part of our very special day!

Starting with our first phone conversation, I knew there was something special about Gail. She was very informative, professional and put me at ease with bridal worries. I booked her months in advance because after speaking with her I had to have her officiate my wedding. She listens to what YOU want and envision for your day. Do yourself a favor and reach out to her now..I was beyond satisfied, my now husband loved her and we got countless praise from our guests on our ceremony. It was a night full of love and happiness and I'm certain Gail Olberg played a crucial hand..

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I am authorized to perform weddings throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. Because I travel throughout the State, I have a base fee plus an additional fee for travel that varies subject to venue location. I am happy to provide a total price when I receive information about the selected venue. For couples who are in a hurry for their Certified copies, I am willing to travel to hand deliver the Marriage License to the applicable Court (as required by Virginia law) to expedite it's processing. I offer this service subject to availability with additional compensation required.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I offer a convenient complimentary consultation by phone to discuss everything to be included in your ceremony. We continue to stay in contact right up to the day of the event for any last-minute change request you may wish for your ceremony. My couples are encouraged to reach out to me with any questions, concerns, changes or additions regarding their wedding day. I’m only as far away as a phone call, text or email.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I specialize in Civil and Non-denominational wedding ceremonies throughout Virginia receiving awards and 5-star reviews for my ceremonies and services I provide. (Civil meaning non-secular and may or may not include mention of God and Non-denominational being of no particular faith but containing mention of God. For example: in a prayer). I marry couples with no guests in attendance (Elopements), formal ceremonies with 300 guests, and everything in between. Occasionally, my couples engage my services at the spur of the moment for an elopement or for other reasons, but usually my couples reserve my services between 3 – 24 months in advance of their wedding date. Even for elopements.
