After connecting with several officiants, Bryan and I setup a Zoom with Bill and both knew when we ended that call that Bill was the officiant for us! Bill understood our vision of a non-traditional ceremony as he himself had a non-traditional ceremony (although he performs all types). Through our sessions, Bill shared other examples of ceremonies so we had some base structure to mold to our liking but we weren't left in the dark on building our ceremony. Bill helped us build our customized ceremony and even helped us fine tune our vows which made our wedding day so unique and special. Bill added a special intro that was unique to the location of the wedding which really added a special touch. We got many compliments on our ceremony and vows and Bill was a huge part in that. Bill promptly mailed off our wedding license as well. My only regret was that we forgot to get a picture with Bill in it!! So sad! Would highly recommend Bill!!

We started working with Bill 6 months before our wedding and we did the vows workshop with him. Bill was so supportive and helpful throughout the process! My spouse and I decided to create a custom ceremony that blended our different religious backgrounds into something that represented us; in our case, this blend was non-religious and Catholic. We worked on creating religious undertones but making sure the language fit us in the present. It took some back and forth as well as navigating pressure and emotions from our families. However, we were in good hands because Bill is masterful at this! On our wedding day, he did an expert job at creating the right atmosphere. He made us so comfortable standing up there in front of everyone. My husband was nervous about this, since he's very introverted. Bill put him at ease and directed the energy in the room to join us rather than watch us. Our wedding would not have been the same without him, the ceremony is still our favorite part to remember.

We couldn't have asked for a better officiant for our wedding. Bill was not only kind and well-prepared but also incredibly patient. Despite our friends being late, he waited in cold without a hint of complaint, showing remarkable understanding and support. His professionalism shone through every step of the way, from our initial meetings to the ceremony itself. Our ceremony is simple setup and different from the traditional one. Bill took the time to truly understand our vision for the ceremony and crafted a service that was perfect for us. His words were heartfelt and meaningful, making the moment even more special. Throughout the entire process, he remained calm, reassuring, and dedicated to ensuring our day was everything we hoped for. We are grateful for his unwavering patience and support, and we can't recommend him highly enough to anyone looking for an officiant who not only performs their duties flawlessly but also brings warmth and understanding to the occasion.

The most professional and friendly officiant you could ask for. Bill was always on time. Efficient and organized. He was respectful of what we wanted and gave suggestions when we were clueless. He lead us to write very powerful vows that tugged on everyone's heart strings. Bill officiated our non-religious somewhat non-traditional wedding. He also handled the marriage licence for us. -A&M

We could not have asked for a better officiant for our wedding. We were looking to have a unique ritual style wedding, and Bill brought that vision to life. We had requested a small list of things we wanted to incorporate in our ceremony and things we wanted to exclude, and not only did he do that for us but he was able to seamlessly add elements that tied everything together perfectly. He was extremely professional, warm, and helped guide us through what we needed to do from beginning to end. Thank you so much Bill! 10/10

We met Bill when looking for an officiant for our wedding and we couldn't have been happier with Bill's work throughout the wedding process. From the start, his organization helped us understand how the ceremony would play out along with his flexibility to cater to our needs. This allowed us to collaborate and create a ceremony that works best with our style since we wanted some elements that were traditional and some that were more modern. Throughout the wedding planning and day-of, the ceremony played out perfectly with the guidance from Bill. Additionally, Bill is very thoughtful when working with us as he would check-up with us during the rehearsal and wedding day on how we were feeling. This act of support helped alleviate some stress as I felt Bill would be there for us if needed. Bill also ensured to the crowd the focus was on the bride and groom as he expertly narrated throughout the ceremony that even our parents who doesn't understand English can feel the professionalism and care from him. Overall, we will recommend Bill to anyone needing of an officiant or support throughout their weddings as he has been great a pleasure to work with.

If you’re looking for an officiant to make your wedding day meaningful, well thought out, and celebratory, I highly recommend working with Bill. As a person who finds a lot of meaning in words, especially finding importance in crafting vows, Bill has a wonderful selection of examples and references to cater your day to showcasing the most important part: the love you have with your partner. Bill read a beautiful passage that really illustrated that for me and my partner. His work and presence added so much meaning and dimension to our big day. It’s the moment of getting married you look back on as one of the biggest milestones in your life, so having Bill by our side as such a wonderful representative to express that made the moment all the more special. He is not just an officiant that only cares about pleasing a crowd, he’s one that will care for you and your partners’ needs and plan around that—he’ll work hard to make sure your day is about you and your partner. I’d recommend him to everyone I know.

Bill worked with us for months leading up to the wedding. He helped us stay on track and make sure that our ceremony really felt like it represented us and the commitment we were making to each other. Bill is a wealth of ideas and education on wedding traditions. On the weekend of the wedding, our coordination team remarked on how well the rehearsal was handled, and we heard from so many guests how impressed they were with Bill's handling of the ceremony. When planning a wedding, so much of the focus can be on the reception and event planning details. We are so grateful to Bill for helping us prioritize the important part--the vows & ceremony--and at the end of the day, the ceremony was my favorite part of the weekend.

Bill was absolutely AMAZING to work with! He helped us design a fully customized and unique ceremony, and put in so much time and effort on our behalf to make it something that was fully us, and absolutely beatiful. He listened to us, got to know us, and I absolutely feel like we went with the right person! So many guests after the ceremony commented on how beautiful and touching the ceremony was. Bill was just fantastic to work with, and started working with us around 10 months in advance to create this custom event. Everything was so organized, professional, and yet still entirely heartfelt. You can tell how important it is to Bill to make a truly memorable ceremony, and he succeeded! Bill submitted our marriage license packet to the state for completion and, a few weeks after our ceremony, we also received a copy of the ceremony used on our wedding day with a lovely letter wishing us all the best in the years to come. Best officiant!

My (now) husband and I made the decision to elope on a rather tight timeline, and choosing an officiant who we trusted and felt comfortable with proved pretty difficult...until we found Bill! Bill has a magnetically peaceful and warm energy about him; we were immediately at ease from the moment we had our first Zoom call. In just over a month, he crafted our ceremony and vows into something truly beautiful- even though it was going to be just us and our witnesses, he treated our wedding with so much care and detail, and not once made our elopement feel small or diminished. He met with us over Zoom about once a week leading up to the ceremony and was incredibly helpful and receptive to us and our ideas. Bill even (unwittingly, perhaps) provided some counseling to us in our planning! The thoughtful and caring questions he asked to help write our vows led to some deep and wonderful conversations between my husband and I. On top of all of the design work he did for our ceremony, his work as an officiant on the day of was outstanding: that same peaceful, warm energy was an absolute godsend for our wedding jitters, and he had us and our witnesses laughing and joyous throughout. It's been a few weeks since our wedding, and my husband and I are still over-the-moon about every aspect of that day- and we owe so much of that to Bill. We are forever grateful to him for making such an important day in our lives so magical and would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone and everyone. Thank you so much, Bill!

My husband and I have so much gratitude for Bill and the role that he played in helping us design a beautiful ceremony that felt deeply personal. He helped us think outside the box and create a ceremony that truly reflected our values as a couple. Bill is funny, intelligent and warm and put as at ease which is saying something as we were both nervous about the ceremony. We felt relaxed and present and were able to soak in the love from our family and friends. I highly recommend Bill!

Bill was amazing and the cherry on top of our wedding day. He went out of his way weeks ahead of the wedding to make sure the ceremony was completely planned out and walked us through every step. Bill made us feel so comfortable and really showed our unique story and allowed us to share that with our friends and family in the best way on our big day. We can't thank Bill enough and HIGHLY recommend him to officiate your wedding.
