My husband and I were engaged for over 10 years, but due to the cost of healthcare once married, we were never able to actually get married. When our situation changed and we could... finally tie the knot officially, we didn't want to wait at all. We contacted Rachel on a Wednesday and ended up having our ceremony two days later, on a Friday afternoon. We just wanted it to be the two of us and were truly only looking for someone to sign the papers and take care of the legal stuff, but, my goodness, we got so much more!!!
Thanks to Rachel, our wedding ended up being one of the most special things we've ever experienced. It was a beautiful fall day, and rather than doing the ceremony at our house, Rachel suggested we walk to the park across the street where she found the perfect spot between two trees near the river. Keeping with the theme of fall, her message compared the changes we would see in our life together to the changes we were seeing around us in nature. (We asked for a non-religious ceremony and she totally respected that.) Through her incredibly thoughtful message, she made us feel even more connected to each other and to the world around us. It was just so beautiful and perfect. And as it turns out, it didn't end up being just the two of us there at all--a flock of geese were nestled in the grass behind us. It was a moment we'll never forget, and that is all because of Rachel.
As for the more logistical things, Rachel was easy to get in touch with and always responded promptly to each communication. We had most of our conversations via text which was really convenient for me and my preferred way to communicate. Her fee was very reasonable, and she, of course, was super knowledgable about all the marriage legalities. She took care of filing our paperwork promptly and even gave us a timeline so we would know what to expect with getting our marriage certificate.
All in all, it was a smooth, hassle-free, personal, and deeply meaningful experience. I whole-heartedly recommend Rachel to anyone getting married in any type of ceremony. We feel so lucky we found her!!
