Taliah is THE BEST! We had a bit of trouble finding an officiant we clicked with, but as soon as we had the first call with Taliah, it was obvious. The whole process was so easy, it felt like chatting with a friend, and she worked her magic to put it together into a beautiful ceremony with exactly the laid-back, funny vibe we wanted. To top it all off, she was an absolute joy to have around on our wedding day!!! I couldn’t recommend her more!
We had the pleasure of having Taliah as our officiant and premarital counselor. She was AMAZING!!!! Her energy and expertise is unfounded. She pushed us to ask deep questions that truly brought us closer and set a foundation for our marriage. We enjoyed having her as our officiant because she knew all the tricks of the trade when it came to the day off. She made sure our ceremony was special and catered to who were are as a couple. She was on time, professional, and present! She was truly a highlight of our marriage journey. Book ASAP!!!
Taliah did a wonderful job officiating our wedding! She was able to make it very personable from just a few meetings with us. She made the experience fun and easy. We would recommend her to anyone looking to have an enjoyable experience!
Punctual, professional and friendly. Made the whole process exciting and refreshing.
Taliah was SO amazing!!! She was one of our top 3 favorite vendors for our wedding. From start to finish she was so incredibly organized, professional, and detailed. She really guided us through the process and gained our trust quickly. The wedding script she created for us was so genuine and tailored to our personalities, it truly made our wedding so special! She is one of those people who you feel like you've known your entire life. I could go on and on but long story short - Taliah will exceed all expectations you have of a wedding officiant!! She is truly amazing at what she does!
Simply the best. Taliah felt like a close friend from the beginning. She made the process simple and fun for us! Our wedding ceremony was beautifully done by her and her words will stick with us for forever. Please consider Taliah to marry you because honestly you won’t regret it! Thank you again Taliah!!!
Within a few minutes our first consultation with Taliah, we knew that we picked the perfect wedding officiant. She was punctual, pleasant and purposeful in getting to know us and what brought us together - our love story. She asked great questions and listened intently. It was so easy to talk to her. She made it fun! She did a great job in helping us to connect the dots in preparing to write our personal vows: those "dots" she skillfully used to share our love story and ideals for our marriage at our wedding. Taliah's combination of professionalism, personality, creativity and energy complemented our beautiful wedding so well. We highly recommend her services!
Taliah, thank you so much for being such an integral part of our wedding process. You understood us to our core after only meeting us twice on zoom and I am still mind blown over that. Not only did you make our day such a memorable one, you also helped make our rehearsal memorable by taking part in dinner with my (crazy) family and sharing that fellowship with us. Again, thank you so much for everything and if i know of anyone getting married in the Atlanta area, I will send them your way!
Thank you !
Taliah is the absolute BEST! We’ve been seeing her for about a year now and she has helped us tremendously. She did our marriage counseling and recently officiated our wedding ✨ 10/10 I would definitely recommend. She is such a sweetheart and so fun to work with. I absolutely look forward to our sessions with her ♥️
Taliah was exceptional to work with! As a wedding coordinator, there can be officiants who arrive just to do the job, but Taliah arrived ready to be a part of the Brenner and Rieves Wedding. She was on-time, interactive, kind and reassuring throughout the entire ceremony and she remembered to get the marriage license after the ceremony which is a personal blessing! We cannot recommend her enough!
100/10 recommend Taliah! So many wonderful things I can say but if you are looking for an officiant who truly gets to know you as a couple and individuals, she is it. She customized our entire ceremony as we wanted short and to the point and delivered it flawlessly. Taliah will go the extra mile to make sure your ceremony is perfect. We also participated in marriage counseling with her as well and it was worth every minute. We absolutely love her and we will be hiring her for our renewal one day. They truly don’t come as good as Taliah and my husband and I are so grateful to have found her.
My married boo and I decided to have a quick and small signing ceremony at our house, and were lucky to have found Taliah! She set up a video call with us and we decided she'd be great for our actual signing...and she was! We loved that she stayed and hung out with us and our families after the signing. It was the loveliest of rainy days!
Taliah is AMAZING!! From our pre-martial counseling to officiating our wedding, Taliah was professional, relatable and truly wonderful to work with. Don't wait to get on her schedule!
The stars should say "The Bestest EVER!" Taliah is seriously the best hands down. Our conversations were always so relaxing and fun. She was always on time or waited if we were behind, especially when it came to our work schedules. So understanding and flexible. She took the time to answer any questions at any time of day and helped us create a beautiful/fun ceremony. Even though our day kind of turned into a beautiful disaster with thunderstorms and our DJ vanishing; she stepped in to help us make sure things ran smoothly until we could take over. Even made sure we ate something! Even when she really didn't need to...Taliah is a blessing and we would recommend her to anyone who wants their day filled with love, laughter, admiration and kindness.
My husband and I felt like we went through weeks of interviews finding the right fit for premarital counseling and officiating services and we went with Taliah because the experience felt personal from when we first met her. She also was the only person in our initial consult that asked questions about our story which really resonated with us. Taliah rocked with us for months and guided us through our counseling to healthier conversations and methods we can implement as married. She brought really great ideas to the table regarding our ceremony and her script was perfect to officiate our wedding. We love Taliah and highly recommend working with her! She got you!
Taliah's personality and humor is literally unmatched! I do not think that we could've found a better officiant for us. Our ceremony was perfect because of her words, she customized a script that mirrored my wife and I beautifully. Our guests still rave about her! She was organized, on-time, and went out of her way to make sure that the ceremony was flawless. Her pre-ceremony sessions were detailed and very inclusive, we never once felt judged by our responses or rushed to finish a session. We enjoyed her so much! If you're looking for an officiant and stumbled across Taliah, you've just found the most perfect officiant I promise.
We hired Taliah for premarital counseling and for officiant services. We wanted the opportunity for the person marrying us to have a relationship with us before hand and this was the 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.
Taliah worked with us before our wedding for pre marital counseling! She was flexible on the location we met initial and was able to meet via Zoom which was helpful for our schedules! Also, we really appreciated how well Taliah listened and was able to remember things about us as the weeks progressed and she got to know us more. It was great that we got to personalize what we discussed each week inside of sticking to one strict schedule. Thanks for your time and expertise, Taliah!
My husband and I hired Taliah as our wedding officiant after using her counseling services for several months. She made it her priority to know Irving and I on a deeper level, even asking friends and family about us to create a personalized script. Her script was tasteful and far from “traditional” (per our request). It was perfect because she kept each guest engaged, and even entertained, while also embodying everything about who we are and what be believe. Her script is so special to me and is etched into my heart forever! Thank you Taliah!
Taliah is amazing! She is so down to earth and really listens and gets to know you. Having her as our officiant for our wedding was like having a friend do it. She is the best at what she does.
Taliah is a gem! From our initial conversation, we knew her amazing spirit and energy would be a perfect fit for us. Not only is she an amazing listener which aided in her attentiveness to our wants and needs, but she is knowledgable about her industry and passionate about her craft. Thank you so much Taliah for contributing to the perfection of our wedding day, and for turning this Ms. into a Mrs.!
Taliah Ayers was amazing! Throughout the interview process sir gathered all information she needed in order to deliver an amazing speech to our friends and family. She made the day so comfortable and gave us a feeling of love through her speech. I would recommend her to anyone.
After having many issues with finding an officiant and pre marital counselor, we found Taliah by the recommendation of another officiant. She came highly recommended so we decided 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!
Oh my goodness, where do I begin! Taliah is absolutely amazing. So professional, and personable. She gets to really know you as a couple and the way she portrays your love story during the ceremony is amazing. She is just an overall amazing person. We are so glad she was the one to complete our union.
Africa and I are so very happy that we selected Taliah to be our Officiant. She was professional and really made our wedding day special. We took advantage of the pre-marital counseling, 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!

Taliah is THE BEST! She’s super sweet and she made our day so easygoing and fun! I highly recommend her for ANY wedding! Doesn’t matter how big or small, she will make the day so special! She took such good care of us and I LOVE that she offered to get our marriage license certified at the courthouse and mailed out to us in less than a week from our wedding! Thank you again so much, Taliah!
Taliah was a dream officiant for our quickly planned elopement! She walked us through the ceremony options over Zoom, asked insightful questions about our relationship, and crafted a beautiful ceremony script that felt very personal to us - all on a tight timeline, for a reasonable rate. Her love for her work shines through, and she made the whole process feel easy and joyful. I can't recommend her strongly enough!
Taliah is amazing! We did our premarital counseling with her and she officiated our wedding. She is patient, kind, and knows exactly what she's talking about since she is married too! Now we just need her to start doing baby christenings!
Taliah was absolutely incredible to work with from the very first step! Contact and a first video call were seamless and easy to coordinate. Taliah made the time to make sure she was 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.
Thanks Taliah <3
Working with Taliah was absolutely amazing! Because of her our wedding ceremony was the perfect representation of my husband & I. She got to know us & our personalities over a very short period of time. We didn’t know what exactly we wanted our ceremony to look like, but with her guidance it came together wonderfully. SHE NAILED IT 1000%.
Taliah was the best thing that happen to us. Even during COVID! We definitely picked a gem. Thanks for everything. Her service was right on point and she did everything and more. Our sand ceremony was awesome. Thank you.
My husband and I chose Taliah A. to be our wedding officiant, we got married during the mist of the pandemic. Believe it or not it went very smooth sailing. She was very professional, she wore a mask , and she corresponded very often via email. She allowed us to be hands on on exactly what it was we wanted. She answered all of our questions and made us feel very special. She listened to exactly what we wanted and she delivered. A lot of our family and friends told us how awesome and professional she was. We would recommend her to anyone who is getting married. Thanks Taliah! :)
We utilized Taliah's pre-marital counseling services, and she was our ceremony officiant. She was AMAZING! We really enjoyed the pre-marital counseling session. She facilitated great conversation between us and helped us talk through topics that are important to have before getting married. She was always on time and responded very quickly to emails. She also created a wonderful ceremony script and was very supportive the day of the wedding. I would highly recommend Taliah!
Taliah is a pleasure to work with and makes the counseling process a breeze. Initially my fiancé was hesitant about completing counseling, however by the end he stated how much he enjoyed the experience and can not wait for our 1 year check-in. The topics covered over our 6 week experience gave us an opportunity to dive deeper into topics we have skimmed over in our relationship. Taliah has equipped use with the tools necessary to ensure our marriage will always be in tip-top shape. We love her so much and will miss meeting with her! We highly recommend her services for pre-marital counseling and beyond!

THIS EXPERIENCE WAS WONDERFUL. TALIAH WAS VERY RELATABLE. SHE HELPED US TO CONFRONT AREAS THAT WE INDIVIDUALLY WERE CONCERNED ABOUT. SHE DID NOT ATTEMPT TO STEER CONVERSATIONS WHEN IT MIGHT SEEM TO BE AT AN INTENSE POINT BUT HELPED US TO WORK THROUGH OUR DIFFERENCES, AND RESPECT THE DIFFERENCES. I AM SO GLAD WE HAVE A FOUNDATION OF TOOLS WE CAN USE TO KEEP OUR RELATIONSHIP HEALTHY AND THRIVING.
I cannot say enough good things about the Better Together 365 program & Taliah’s guidance through the process. She provided a welcoming environment to speak freely about our feelings, opinions, and beliefs. I can honestly say that her expertise and warm personality allowed my fiancé and I to feel comfortable while gaining many necessary skills for a successful marriage. If you are on the fence, DO IT. It is the best investment we have ever made into our relationship. Thank you, Taliah!
