About this vendor
Taliah Ayers provides relationship enrichment to 30-40 couples a year through officiant services, relationship education, and premarital counseling. She specializes in crafting unique wedding ceremonies that are cultivated around the personality of the couple. She has done non-religious ceremonies, and even ceremonies where the rings were blessed with holy water!
Her favorite part of weddings is the unity ceremony because of the creativity that comes into play. There are the usual ones like the sand ceremony or jumping the broom, but she has also created brand new ceremonies like MAKING a candle during the wedding! Don't want the usual? Great! She is up for the challenge.
Her premarital counseling sessions explore the depths of your relationship surrounding children, finances, love languages, apology languages and so much more. Her educational background from The University of Georgia, certification through PREPARE-ENRICH and The National Council on Family Relations, and real life experience as a twenty-something spouse and mother give her a leg up in this arena. Let Taliah help you obtain the tools you need to create a thriving marriage. An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure!

he best way to do it. Taliah was warm and so inviting, it made the premarital process so easy for us. She was super flexible with our schedule and we had a mix of in-person and Zoom sessions. These sessions really provided us with some great tools to use in our marriage.
For officiant services, she provided us with tools to assist us with writing our vows and gave us a bunch of ideas for a unity ceremony that we never even thought about doing. We decided to go with a tree planting ceremony and it definitely added a special touch to our ceremony. She worked so will with my wedding venue and planner, everything LITERALLY WENT PERFECT the day of my wedding! It was a BEAUTIFUL ceremony! She is absolutely worth every penny!
Taliah is the best hands down and I'm happy we were able to have her as our officiant for the wedding.

asking friends and family about us to create a personalized script. Her script was tasteful and far from “traditional” (per our request).

to set up a meeting. From the first meeting we knew she was the one. Our sessions were like no other. They were easy, fun and non-judgmental. It was like talking to an old friend. Talia is very relatable and gives actionable tips to have a lasting marriage. We loved that she incorporated our personalities and things she learned about us from our sessions and blended it into the ceremony. She also gave modern options for the ceremony that we didn’t know about. The ceremony was amazing! And we LOVED having her there for the reception!
This wedding was done the way weddings should be done. Beautiful, memorable, exciting & fun!

seling, which was an awesome way to help prepare us for the wedding. Taliah took the time to provide a personalized wedding experience and even dressed up according to our 1920s theme. Words cannot express our heartfelt gratitude for the services she provided to us.
Our original officiant had to back out due to COVID and we found Taliah less than 2 months before our wedding date. She responded very quickly and her communication throughout the planning process was very reassuring. We also loved how we could set appointments with the click of a button. If you want a sincere, professional, LGBTQ friendly experience, you should choose Taliah. You will not be disappointed. Thank you so much for everything you did for us!

as available and gave our first call her upmost attention. She was very understanding, flexible, & contributed sweet ideas for our last minute elopement ceremony when our big plans had to be rescheduled. She took the time to get to know both of us & our relationship before writing the most beautiful personalized script for our ceremony. She gave us very helpful tips for writing our own vows & helped us truly think about our relationship and the reasons why we wanted to solidify our relationship through marriage. On the day of she helped calm my nerves when it seemed things were stressful and chaotic as delays in our day of timeline were happening. She was so warm, kind, understanding, professional, & we felt like we could truly be friends with her outside of this. We wholeheartedly recommended her and wish her all the best and success for her growing business!
We love that Taliah meets us at our home. She has been very flexible with our schedules and she has challenged our minds in many ways during our engagement.
