    Wonderful Val Sayers

    Valerie is a wonderful, thoughtful, helpful officiant. She asked exactly the right questions so that she could understand exactly what we wanted, and she was very respectful of different cultural traditions. She allowed us to adapt her scripts for the wedding ceremony, which was just what we wanted to do. She really cared about our wedding.

    Valerie Sayers - A Simple Ceremony's reply:

    Thank you Glenn. Itwas such an honour to marry you to your beautiful Polish bride, Alejandra. It was a wedding I’ll remember forever.

    I would highly recommend Val. She was great. She was able to meet with us multiple times throughout the planning process. She brought great ideas and provided different options for the ceremony that would fit us as a couple. She was very professional (always early and never late!). Responded to her emails promptly. Lastly, she helped make our day special and unique.

    Valerie was amazing, sweet, kind and super paient. She met us at a near by resturant and made sure we had everything that my husband and I wanted. Little did we know her grand-daughter was my husband's friend in elementary and mine in high school! Valrie was on time during our wedding ceremony and was very paient even when the ceremony was running late. I definatly recommend her and will ask her to preform out vow renewal. THANK YOU VALERIE!!!!

    Valerie did our ceremony and we loved her! From our first meeting she had all the info we needed, friendly and answered our questions. As our wedding date approached we had multiple questions for her and she answered them all right away. She even directed our rehearsal for us and kept everything short and sweet and to the point since we had a short rehearsal time booked. At the ceremony everyone could hear her and she did such a great job! We were really lucky to have found someone so helpful and friendly! Thanks Val!

    The service was fantastic. We were in a bind as our original officiant didn't work out, and this officiant was able to do our wedding AND our rehearsal on a week's notice. She did everything perfectly and exactly to our liking. I couldn't be happier with her services.

    Val was great through the whole process. She has a spiritual quality that can relate to everyone regardless of beliefs. Val answered my questions promptly, was always on time, and we felt she shared our happiness. If you would like a calm, professional, and mostly caring person to perform the service of choice, I would recommend Val in a heartbeat.

    Valerie Sayers - A Simple Ceremony's reply:

    Thank you Pat. It was delightful working with you both and you can borrow my umbrella anytime.
