She was amazing to work with. Very accommodating and sweet. We were just flying by the seat of our pants with everything and she just went with it!:) She had so many sweet things to say about our family and our chosen ceremony place. I will not be needing her services again, but I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful officiant to share their special day with. She is professional yet down to earth and very personable! Thank you so much Susie for helping us and being a part of our special day ❤️

Susie created our fairytale wedding. I can not express enough how brilliant she is, and I couldn't have dreamt of a more perfect person to officiate our wedding. Her kind words and the wedding she created made our day magical. The best way to begin our adventure as husband and wife. Thank you so much!

We chose Suzie as our officiant for our wedding this June. We met with her a few different times to straighten out the details that we wanted and she gave us exactly what we wanted. She is truly a professional and personalized our wedding to fit us. She was easy to work with and always responded to questions quickly. We received a lot of amazing comments about her after our ceremony. We would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone that is looking! She did a phenomenal job!

Susie was awesome! So easy to work with and very accommodating to whichever wedding suits your style. She was very nice and considerate. My husband has a gender neutral/more traditionally female name (Tracy. I always forget to write on paperwork that he is in fact a male) and when her and I talked on the phone, she didn’t assume Tracy was one or the other and referred to him as my partner until they met for the rehearsal, we always have to correct people when they don’t know. That might not be a huge deal for most people, but it was nice! What we paid for her services, we thought was an appropriate amount, especially if you’re having her write the vows and deliver all the paperwork to the correct spot afterwards, it’s was a huge weight off our shoulders so we wouldn’t forget. We would highly recommend Susie!

Details: Wedding • Non-religious (no mention of God) • 51 - 100 guests • Help writing vows will be needed • English • Officiant will be needed at the rehearsal

Lovely, patient, engaging lady that we are so thankful to have had as part of our special day. Truly an honor to have her as our officiant. She answered all questions, walked us through the process, incorporated our ideas, and made the day run more smoothly than we could possibly have imagined. Having Susie officiate felt like having a longtiime family friend do the ceremony. We can't recommend her enough.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My base fee is $250.00 through 2021. This covers all phone call, email and texts. Meeting and getting to know the bride and groom, writing a wedding script for the couple. I conduct the rehearsal if requested and then officiate the wedding. If the couple would like me to say grace at the reception I do that too.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to meet with couples ahead of time, at no obligation, to make sure they are happy with what I offer. I like to get to know the bride and groom a bit so I can write the perfect ceremony for them.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I routinely take part in web cast trainings and networking with other officants. It is nice to get fresh ideas of what went well and what didn't from others officiating as well. I am always on the look out for books to help guide me.
