Anna is the best

10/10 would recommend!!! Anna Santarossa was personable, professional, and overall amazing. She put life into the ceremony and our friends and family are STILL talking about her. She adds humor and love into everything and is willing to work with any request put her way. We were so lucky to have found Anna. Prior to our wedding, she had conversations with us to get to know us further and answered any questions we had. On the day of the wedding, she was prompt and everything we could have asked for! She kept the ceremony light and had our guests laughing which we loved! She also added a few personal touches about us. We continue to get compliments from our guests on how incredible Anna was. You're not doing it right if you aren't getting married by Anna as your Wedding Officiant!!! We were so lucky to have found her! Thank you Anna, that was an incredible job. Emily&Eoin

Anna is amazing!

Anna did an incredible job as our officiant, we received so many compliments on our ceremony. Anna put together an amazing ceremony script from start to finish, she definitely made people shed tears, and laugh. Anna also showed up extra early to make sure everything was in order, and that was greatly appreciated. I will recommend Anna to anyone needing an officiant! Thank you so much Anna!

Sept 2024 Wedding

Anna officiated our wedding in September 2024. It was easy to personalize our wedding ceremony by taking pieces from her numerous example ceremonies.
During the planning process, she clearly explained each step so we knew what to expect. She was also open and friendly during our discussions.
She arrived early to the venue to set up, and that made us confident that everything would be ready on time and running smoothly.
During the ceremony, she was able to get the guests engaged, and everything went as planned.
We would recommend her services to our friends.

The Sweetest

Anna is the sweetest and we wish we could give her a 100 on her flexibility! We decided to have a Persian Ceremony and after a few hiccups of planning a civil ceremony (for the legality), we decided to give her a call 3 days before our wedding. She not only made it work, but she showed up with so much love!!! We had a quick civil ceremony in our Airbnb right before the Persian ceremony and it was the sweetest moment. She also looked over the script for the Persian ceremony and helped my aunt to ensure it included the legal jargons. Overall, we couldn't have asked for anyone better to marry us and we are SO GRATEFUL for her flexibility and kindness.

A beautiful ceremony with Anna!

We were looking for an officiant who would lead us through a short and sweet ceremony with a personal touch. Anna was the perfect officiant for us! She talked with us for a good amount of time to get our personal story which reflected in her words at the ceremony. She also gave us a nice easy to read package which explained the whole process of the ceremony with our individual customizations, and also how to obtain the marriage license. A lot of our guests commented on how touching and personal the ceremony was! Would highly recommend her.

Would definitely recommend!

Anna was very responsive and professional! Her readings on the day of were romantic and tasteful and I found that her prices were very fair. She also coordinated with my photographer for the first kiss at the altar photo which I really appreciated! If you have any special requests for your vows or ceremony definitely reach out to her as she is quite accommodating!
