Reviews for Irene Ryckman - Marriage Officiant
Perfect Wedding Officiant!
We did a rehearsal the day before, which she was a part of, and she went through everything with us multiple times. This made us much more comfortable the day of!
We decided to do private vows and recite one of her "standard vow" options at the altar. Prior to this, she let our guests know that we did private vows earlier in the day. We did not want any religious pieces in our ceremony, and that's exactly what we got with Irene. She checked in on us before the ceremony and asked if we had any last-minute questions (we didn't, because we had gone over everything multiple times the day before).
The ceremony itself went off without a hitch. She welcomes everyone, reviews "housekeeping" items and talks you through everything (repeating after her during the ceremony). We had multiple compliments from our guests that this was the best wedding ceremony they had been to - because there wasn't any filler or extras - it was just exactly what we wanted. Short, but heartfelt.
Irene is a professional and you will not regret booking her for your wedding!
