Made the day so special!

We contacted Tammy to officiate our wedding on a friend's recommendation; I had been in the friend's wedding party several years prior so I already knew how lovely she was. We arranged for a Zoom meeting to discuss what we were hoping for, bounce some ideas around, and for her to get a feel for what we were like as a couple to help with personalizing our ceremony. She drafted a few options for our ceremony and left it entirely up to us to pick and choose which parts to keep so that it would feel meaningful to us. We were actually surprised (in a good way!) at how meaningful her words ended up being to us both as people and as a couple right out the gate.

The big day went off without a hitch - Tammy was SO supportive onsite, checked in with both of us prior, and her big smiles and positive energy helped calm our nerves. We wrote our vows in a book that she held onto until it was time (so we didn't have to worry about losing it) and she handled everything with our paperwork. We just had to get our marriage license, and she sorted everything else, even including some keepsakes (printed ceremony and wedding certificate).

But even beyond that, the thing that floored me most was that Tammy was able to incorporate an unexpected addition to the ceremony - as we'd mentioned we are both huge science nerds, she snuck in closing remarks that combined the concepts of love and science in such a beautiful way. It was a wonderful surprise for us.

The kicker was finding out she'd actually married several couples who were guests at our wedding - a testament to how highly recommended she comes. I will also add that the value of her services was fantastic - in my researching, I found other officiants charged far higher fees for far less value than what we had going with Tammy.

Thank you for making this day so wonderful and easy for us! Your name will be first on our list if we are ever asked for recommendations in future.

Beautiful Ceremony!

Tammy was absolutely wonderful to work with! She was so kind and down to earth, we connected right away. Our zoom consultation was so easy, we had no idea what to expect or how to plan a ceremony but Tammy flawlessly walked us through everything. Just with that conversation she came up with 2 options of to use for our ceremony, both were lovely, but one just fit us perfectly. Tammy showed up early to meet us and see the venue. She preformed a beautiful intimate ceremony for us and our small family, she even included a small shout out to our one cat who had made an appearance in our zoom consultation in the ceremony. She took care to step to the side during our vows and for the first kiss so both those moments could be just for us and we received a lovely copy of the ceremony along with our temporary marriage certificate. Tammy really helped make our small ceremony just that little bit extra special, I would 100% recommend her!

Tammy was amazing from the start of our experience working together to the finish. In our first meeting she got to know each of us and create the perfect ceremony that seemed so fitting for our personalities. Everyone told me they were so moved. Thank you Tammy for being apart of our special day!

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. :)

Wedding Ceremony with Tammy Banting: July 2024

Tammy was absolutely fantastic as our wedding officiant! From the moment we first contacted her, she was incredibly organized and responsive. She took the time to understand our vision for the ceremony and tailored every detail to perfection. Her confidence and clear speaking voice helped calm our nerves on the big day, and she delivered an amazing ceremony that truly reflected us as a couple. We received numerous compliments throughout the day about how wonderfully she conducted the ceremony. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant and would 100% recommend Tammy to anyone looking to tie the knot!

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!

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.

She delivered a ceremony that was beautifully crafted, heartfelt, and filled with love.

She truly went above and beyond, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had her by our side on our special day.
