Erin D. Married on 24/07/2021Absolutely Amazing!!
We are SO glad that were were referred to Shirley to officiate our wedding ceremony!
We had a zoom meeting before the wedding day, and she walked us through the ceremony so we knew what to expect, Shirley was always there for us if we had any questions, or needed something changed!
On our wedding day, she was on time, organized, personable and made sure everything went smoothly-which it did!
Shirley was an amazing officiant, and we couldn't be happier with the way our ceremony went, she made it so special and beautiful, and something we will remember forever!
I HIGHLY recommend Shirley!

We could not say enough wonderful things about Shirley. Our ceremony was perfect. Without knowing us for very long, Shirley made our ceremony so personal and it was such a perfect reflection of our relationship. Shirley was very supportive during the difficult process of planning a wedding during this crazy time and I truly appreciated her kindness. We received SO many compliments in regards to our ceremony and we owe it all to Shirley.Shirley Kennedy - Wedding Officiant's reply:
