I loved Renee! I was a bridesmaid for my best friend's wedding where she was the minister and she did amazing. You could see how excited she was and she was so sweet and passionate. She also had a warm smile the entire time!

Renee was awesome! We spoke over the phone, and within a day or two she already had our entire ceremony written out (minus a few personal details). Immediately we knew we had to go with her. She arrived an hour early to meet with us individuall...
y and my wife even told me that she was so sweet and gave her some advice (my wife was so nervous before our ceremony). The actual ceremony was beautiful. Renee has such a calming presence and when she started speaking everything just felt right. She was so good at making our ceremony personal to us while being very confident in her dictation. We wanted to do a ring warming ceremony which she was previously not familiar with, and she took the time to do her research to make sure everything was perfect for us. We couldn't have asked for anyone better. Thank you!

Renee was outstanding! She was actually recommended to me by my mother, and as soon as I spoke with Renee I didn’t hesitate, I knew she was exactly what we needed for our big day. I can not thank her enough for her beautiful work. One of my fav...
orite things about working with Renee, is that she would set up meetings via phone call, to go over her wedding script for our special day. She was extremely accommodating and would always ask if there was anything I wanted to keep or change in the script. This allowed me to be a little less stressed because I knew exactly what to expect on the day of our wedding :). Renee is a sweet heart and she was such a special touch to our wedding. She was always available if we had any questions or wanted to update anything as well. I’m so grateful that we found her!

Renee was warm and caring. The ceremony was perfect for the outdoor, casual setting of our wedding. Rene and her presentation of the vows exceeded our expectations.

Renee was beyond wonderful! We got married yesterday and she did an amazing job. I recommend her to everyone! She's professional, yet, her passion is what really makes her great; she makes you feel 'at-home' and her wanting to help give you ...
one of the best days of your life really shows! She is the absolute best! Renee is always on time, always has a smile on her face and creates the wedding with what you want said, not said or any activities included. We had her help us perform the candle ceremony where we lit 2 candles separately and we both light a 3rd candle together with our 2 candles to signify our love is now one. I can't say enough about Renee! She really was perfect!!
