Lynel was just the perfect officiant for us! We wanted a simple ceremony and she did a wonderful job of making that happen. She was so helpful throughout the wedding dinner and we couldn’t be more pleased with how efficient she was. She has a friendly, kind, and bubbly personality! Our guests thought she was great as well. Five big stars!

Lynel was an awesome officiant at our wedding. She got there in time to have our guest gather around and got everyone situated for the bride to make her appearance! She also helped with photo selection, she has an eye for great pictures even if she wasn’t our photographer she stilled with that as well. We are both happy that you were able to be there and come to the rescue for us. Highly recommend!!!

It was a beautiful wedding! Lynel, unfortunately, was in a car accident , and still made the ceremony in plenty of time. Who does that?
