Danielle was a FANTASTIC officiant. We were a little picky about what we wanted in our wedding ceremony (non-religious, no mentions of "fate" or "only one" or "belonging to each other"), but we didn't know exactly what we wanted the ceremony to... say.
We met with Danielle for an hour prior to hiring her so we could get a feel for each other. Danielle was supremely professional, taking notes on everything we said, asking us to talk about our relationship, what we meant to each other, if we wanted readings, etc. As we left our first meeting, we felt the ceremony was more or less written already! It was a casual, no-pressure situation that made us feel really comfortable hiring her.
Writing the ceremony with Danielle was an easy, collaborative process. We felt comfortable telling Danielle where we had hard lines on specific language and Danielle respected them. She came prepared with ideas for language or even specific parts of the ceremony, such as suggesting a memory box for the unity ceremony, which turned out to be our favorite part of the ceremony!
The wedding itself was fantastic. Danielle came with print-outs of our vows and of the readings we had selected. She came up to us prior to the ceremony to ask if there were any last-minute things she needed to know, and we sincerely appreciated the proactive check-in! When there was a medical emergency later during the reception, Danielle helped a guest who was feeling anxious to calm down, which was going truly above and beyond.
We wholeheartedly recommend Danielle to anyone looking for an officiant. Working with Danielle was easy and comfortable, and we always felt like we were in good hands.
