From the first contact we had with Blake Baggott, he was so very helpful and attentive to our plans. He is easy to work with, and personal. He surpassed our every expectation. If you're reading this, trying to determine who officiates your wedding, we would suggest you have found your guy. We did, and couldn't be happier.

n to decide to have a wedding 450 miles away from home. My wife and I could not have been happier with our wedding officiant. He was punctual, professional, responsible, responded in a timely manner, and adapted to how we wanted the ceremony to run. I don't ever plan to get married again, but I would absolutely recommend him for people who are going to take the leap.

ent us templates of ceremonies beforehand and did an amazing job of presenting the one we finalized. A bonus was that he also greeted my husband’s family in Spanish, which meant a lot as they are only Spanish-speaking. He made sure to arrive by the time requested, and he made us feel so comfortable - like he already knew us. THANK YOU, BLAKE!! We couldn’t have imagined our elopement going any better. You are wonderful at what you do!
