I think that Rev Oliver is a Wonderful Officiant although my wedding was temporarily postponed my first verbal conversation with her was wonderful and after the call I felt reassured that we were going to have a Blessed ceremony. I will definitely look for her services when I have another wedding date.

Dr. Oliver was amazing with officiating our wedding. The vows she created for us were beautiful, and she also offered some wonderful words of encouragement after our ceremony was over. We look forward to working with her again in the future!

My now husband and I plan to have a destination wedding this Summer however we really wanted to make things official 2/22/22. Ms. Sonja was absolutely exceptional. We had an opportunity to meet via Zoom where she offered some great insight and advice for married couples. She even went above and beyond to make sure we were announced as husband and wife at exactly 2:22 for a simple vow exchange in our home. We will never forget her and her sharing in the moment of sending us a receipt of purchase for 2 items that totaled $2.22! We highly recommend her service and expertise to any other couples joining together in holy matrimony! Thank you.

This is the best person to get the job done on getting married. She came out of her way to have me and my wife married under unfortunate circumstances on our end. The best person I’ve met in a long time.
