We couldn't have asked for a better officiant!
We truly could not have asked for a better officiant than Valerie!
From the very first time we met her, we knew we were in such good hands. She is one of the sweetest, most genuine and caring people, and she made the entire process feel so easy and personal. No matter what crazy or unique request we came to her with, Valerie was always completely on board and somehow made our ideas even better.
We chose to do a really unique tree planting ceremony as part of our wedding, and Valerie went above and beyond to help us bring it to life. She helped us plan every detail, thought of things we had missed, and executed it absolutely perfectly on the day. It ended up being one of the most meaningful parts of our ceremony, and we are so grateful for the care she put into making it special.
Our ceremony felt completely like *us* — personal, meaningful, fun and full of love — and so much of that was because of Valerie. She made us feel comfortable, supported and genuinely cared for from beginning to end.
Valerie, thank you so much for everything you did for us and for playing such an important role in our wedding day. You helped make our ceremony more special than we could have imagined, and we will always be so grateful that you were the one standing up there with us. We cannot recommend you enough! ❤️

Valerie was the absolute best wedding officiant we could have asked for. She made our ceremony deeply personal, kept us calm with her warm, sweet nature. She customized our script to fit both our cultures perfectly. She handles paperwork and ceremony details flawlessly. We give her five stars and highly recommend her to anyone! -

Amazing Officiant!
Valerie was absolutely wonderful to work with! From the beginning, she made the whole process easy and helped guide us through choosing a ceremony that felt right for us. She was friendly, organized, and made sure we knew exactly what to expect.
On our wedding day, she was amazing. Even when things didn’t go quite according to plan (the groom forgot the rings!), Valerie didn’t miss a beat. She quickly adapted, kept everything moving, and made the moment feel completely natural instead of stressful.
We are so thankful to Valerie for being part of our day and helping make our ceremony so special. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant!Valerie Russell - Humanist Officiant's reply:

My husband and I liked Val's vibe from the beginning, and she provided a lot of great options for ceremony scripts that felt meaningful but not overly formal. She was very happy to help us customize even very small aspects of the ceremony.
Everything on the day went perfectly and we got so many comments on how beautiful our ceremony was. We'd highly recommend Val to all couples! -

Val is the best!
Valerie was a wonderful officiant, and was exactly what we wanted for our wedding. She was super informative and helpful throughout the whole process and helped us make the ceremony personal, while still providing structure and flow. Even after the wedding she was helpful in regards to next steps. Would definitely recommend Valerie! Thanks so much Val.

Valerie was amazing! She accommodated all of our venue changes, prepared us for our big day by printing off our vows for us, i have a lot of social anxiety and stumbled and forgot a few words but she helped me get through it and even the process after the wedding she has been helpful with.
This is the one you'd not regret marrying you and your partner :) -
