Beautiful ceremony by an amazing officiant

There was never any question about who our officiant would be for our wedding, it was always, always going to be Tammy. We had both seen her in action at multiple weddings and each time we were so impressed by her beautiful ceremonies.

As expected, working with Tammy was a dream. We had no idea where to start and she took the time to walk us through the process step by step. She worked with us to create a beautiful ceremony that felt true to who we are as a couple. Tammy was very responsive, so professional and a joy to work with.

Tammy, thank you so much for being a part of our special day and making it more beautiful than we could ever imagine.

Tammy was amazing

Tammy was the perfect officiant. She gave us multiple options for ceremonies and provided a lot of flexibility if we wanted to customize things. At the time of rehearsal she gave clear direction that everyone understood, and the wedding day went smoothly. Thanks Tammy!

Tammy was so great. She was fun, professional, not too sappy and she has a nice voice too! I know a lot of wedding officiants can be control freaks too, she is not. Super laid back and will do whatever you want her to do for your custom ceremony. :)

Tammy was incredible!

Right from the first communication I had a feeling Tammy was going to be a perfect fit. She is extremely professional, flexible and truly a pleasure to work with. She holds a zoom meeting to get a feel for the couple and then sends some suggestions for ceremony and vows that might fit, always open to revisions or changes. Our day was absolutely perfect and Tammy was a big contributing factor in that. Highly recommend!

Professional and personable

From the moment we met Tammy, we knew she was the perfect fit to officiate our wedding. Her genuine interest in getting to know us as a couple made the planning process enjoyable and stress-free. Tammy's calm and reassuring presence on the day of our wedding helped us relax and fully immerse ourselves in the moment. She delivered a ceremony that was beautifully crafted, heartfelt, and filled with love. We can't thank Tammy enough for her kindness, professionalism, and the unforgettable memories she helped create. She truly went above and beyond, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had her by our side on our special day.
