go and made sure everything was perfect. We can't thank you enough Anissa! Her tone throughout the wedding was sound and stayed true to the loving and vibrant night. The script was truly blissful.

ding. She worked with us to get the perfect script written and asked for our feedback along the way. She helped us with our vows and made the perfect ceremony come to life. She did a great job of having the attention on us and our words to each other which coaching us along the way. I can't imagine our day with anyone else standing up there with us that day. Thank you Anissa!

to officiate our Civil Ceremony. We were trying to surprise our families with something special rather than just a simple notary, and we definitely achieved that goal. Anissa’s custom script/service truly made everything that much more special and personal. My (now) husband is very serious and even he clicked with her and said he thinks her service really made our intimate gathering feel magical! She really takes the time to meet and understand her couples in order to make the experience simple, effortless and special! If I had to do our wedding day all over again I wouldn’t change a thing in our choice of choosing Anissa! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

went above and beyond. If we had to do it all over again we would choose Anissa!

is she!!) She was well articulated and professional. She was accommodating to all of our wishes and knew exactly how to put together what we wanted to say to each other in front of our loved ones in such a beautiful way. I would recommend her for anyone’s special day!!!

as it actually was. We are so grateful to have had her to officiate our wedding.

ript for our wedding. Our ceremony felt so personalized and intimate which is exactly what we wanted. Anissa was extremely informative and responsive during the process. Thank you Anissa for making our day so special! Thank you! The Adorno’s

was incredible throughout the entire wedding process and helped from start to finish in so many ways. She met with my wife and I before the wedding in order to make our ceremony reading more about us than just a general reading. She even coordinated with our musician, photographer, videographer, and event coordinator from the hotel in order to help make the wedding flow. I would highly recommend Anissa to anyone and everyone who is getting married. She was one of the first people we hired for our wedding and we would hire her again without pause. Anissa, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

it over again I would choose Anissa!!!

with Anissa, I knew she would have our best interest in mind and make this the special moment we've been dreaming of. She took the time to meet with both of us, and was flexible to do video calls since we are from out of town. She wrote a beautiful ceremony and involved us in the process to make sure it incorporated everything we wanted. Anissa was also really helpful when it came to writing our vows- she offered advice that helped us get started and reviewed them the week before our wedding. She made sure we didn't have to worry about a thing on the day of- she ran a great rehearsal, and on the day of she had our vows and all the readings printed out. Anissa has such a calming presence and made us feel calm and live in the moment- we are so grateful!

Anissa wrote a script that was perfect for us. She still made everyone, including us, cry. She told our story and used the perfect script meant for us. She definitely felt like family. She will meet you before you’re day, get to know you as a couple and then she creates a masterpiece. Words cannot express how thankful we are that we found her. Book Anissa if you want the perfect ceremony 💕.

beautiful and she made sure everything went smoothly and very easy for us. We could not recommend her more!! Thank you Anissa for a magnificent ceremony!!

oned due to Covid and she was so accommodating. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made!

ct; we highly recommend Gracefully Wed!

t generic at all!

erfectly fitting ceremonies possible - and we received so many compliments on her professionalism and our amazing nuptials!

tional script. I can’t thank her enough. She had half of our guests tearing up. Don’t hesitate, book her!! You will not regret it :)

y so well. My ceremony is somewhat of a blur still, but she gifted a pretty copy of our ceremony and had everything ready for us. She's very kind, caring, and I would highly recommend!

t we were looking for in an officiant. It felt like we were talking to an old friend and she understood exactly what we were envisioning! She wrote the most beautiful, personal ceremony script that really embodied our relationship what we wanted to express at our wedding. She also helped us find a service that would take care of our dogs so they could be involved in the ceremony! I received so many compliments from family and friends about her ceremony script and how impressed they all were! Anissa was so easy to work with, she explained the process to us and all the different moving parts and helped us decide what was right for us. She is extremely professional, organized and most importantly - easy to talk to! By the end of it, it felt like a friend was marrying us! I highly recommend Anissa from Gracefully Wed & Gracefully Small Weddings to anyone loking for a wedding officiant, you won't be disappointed!

one meeting with Anissa, we were able to put all of the worries behind us! Thank you, Anissa for taking the time to get to know who we were as people, our story, and for helping us to create such a beautiful ceremony. Our wedding was perfect and it wouldn't have been the same without you. It was a pleasure to work with you. Alex and I cannot thank you enough for everything!

first time we met to editing the script and working with us on our ceremony vision, she was so accommodating and delightful to talk to. I would highly recommend her.

ing next to us at our wedding, she truly felt like an old friend. Even if she tried, Anissa could not be more warm, gracious, engaging and professional! She is an absolute precious gem and we felt beyond lucky that we found her, I can't imagine having had anyone else there beside us. One of the best things about Anissa's approach is the time and care she takes in getting to know you. My husband and I had a long phone call with Anissa where she asked lots of questions about us as a couple and we were able to share stories about our relationship with her. This allowed her to craft a wedding ceremony that was personal and meaningful to us. There was nothing at all generic about our ceremony. And she was the consummate professional, when we asked for a few changes to her first draft of our ceremony, she was entirely gracious and accommodating, never making us feel awkward about anything! Her goal was very clearly for us to have a ceremony that was perfect for us. And that is exactly what we got - an absolutely beautiful, touching, and personal story of us. So don't hesitate in the slightest to make adjustments until your ceremony is perfect for you, without a doubt that's what Anissa would want. On the day of our wedding Anissa made sure to come and meet me in person ahead of the ceremony, greeting me with a hug. I immediately felt so comfortable and at east - she felt like an old friend. While we were standing with her saying our vows, she was a comforting and calming presence by my side. Furthermore, our guests just loved her and enjoyed engaging with her as well! Another key piece of information is that Anissa reviewed the personal vows we wrote to one another - to help us make sure that our length and tone were complementary. And then she printed out our vows so we didn't have to. Anissa also printed out a beautiful copy of the ceremony so we could have it as a keepsake. By the time we said goodbye, Anissa felt like a true kindred spirit! You are the absolute best Anissa, we are so grateful to have shared our dream of a day with you!

resence made us feel at ease and even assisted in our vows. Anissa also provided us with our vows printed on nice paper for the big day so we wouldn't lose them. She truly made our wedding amazing and we couldn't have asked for anyone better to marry us. Thank you Anissa. Team Beatlo

nissa helped us with the outline but was super flexible about incorporating stories and readings that spoke to as a couple. One of our favorite parts of the process was meeting with her before the wedding. She really took the time to get to know us as a couple and learn about our relationship. She used that information and incorporated it into our wedding script; which we heard for the first time at the ceremony! It was so fun to hear our story told by her and shared with our guests. We recommend being active in the script writing process. Don’t be afraid to make changes it should feel authentic, work on it till it feels right! Anissa thanks for everything, Kailene & Marcus.

had back and forth and wrote an amazing script that captured our relationship perfectly and brought me to tears every time I read it. Anissa is so friendly and helpful and makes the whole process very smooth and stress free.

as a couple and custom write a ceremony for us. From the first moment of speaking to Anissa I knew she was our gal- kindhearted, warm and understanding. She knew exactly what questions to ask my now husband and how to involve him in a way that made him comfortable and she got all the details that were important to me. She also ran our rehearsal the day before and made sure that everyone was comfortable and happy. Anissa took the time driving to our venue and waiting for all of us to arrive (in afternoon traffic and with delay) and then even offered to take my in-laws back to town as their Uber did not arrive in time. That is just exactly who she is as a person- loving and kind. The ceremony she wrote for us was perfection, and it was my favorite part of our wedding! Anissa gave us a little folder with the printed out version of our ceremony and the poems that we used - which is such a sweet sentiment for us to have! Thank you so much for making our ceremony dreams come true! For all the couples that are yet to get married - do not look any further, Anissa is the best out there! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

r any questions or concerns we had, as well as walking us through the process in great detail. She also helped us with our vows and when everything was said and done she handled all the paperwork for us and had a beautiful decorative license made for us that we have hung up in our bedroom. Anissa truly helped tie everything together, and I can’t say enough good things about her.

y step of the way to create a personalized ceremony and reception. She was receptive to our ideas, helped us find vendors, and opened our eyes to things we never would have thought of! Anissa is incredibly organized, insightful and kind. Anissa and her team made our ceremony day as stress free as possible. It is evident that Anissa truly loves what she does and wants to make every marriage and ceremony a success.

ur expectations. Even talking on the phone to her before the wedding so we could give her an idea on how we wanted the script to be. She just made us so excited and we felt so positive about our special day. Our guests at the wedding couldn't stop commenting on how professional and sweet she was. Couldn't have asked for any one better and we are so glad we chose her to officiate our wedding. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Andrea & Jacob Lakins.

vendors. The ceremony script she created was specific to us and made it all so special. I honestly cannot recommend Gracefully Wed enough!!!

officiant services and she not once did I feel like a stranger to her during our phone call. The most uplifghting voice I have ever heard full of love and passion for what she does! My husband and I also offered her to help coordinate our wedding. I can’t exlain how many times she went out of her way to make sure that our dream wedding happened. My first wedding venue canceled on me and my DJ canceled on me the day before my wedding... Anissa made sure that didn’t stop us! After we found our new venue at the beautiful Merchants Hall, Anissa and Mallorie were available at anytime of the day to speak to me and give advice, inspiration, etc. If you want to achieve your dream wedding and have a stress free process, please hire these women. Our wedding script had us in tears during the first draft!! It’s like Anissa had known us for the past five years. I can’t say enough things about her.... we have so much love for her and her desire to make her bride and grooms unbelievably happy! GRACEFULLY WED IS THE BEST OF THE BEST!!!!!!!!!

te for our ceremony. The old fashioned ceremony and vows are fine, but my husband and I wanted something more unique that fit our personalities and Anissa really captured that. She helped make our day truly memorable. I would highly recommend her!

e to suggest places we should visit in town. Anissa was on time and very welcoming!

even working directly with other vendors. We enjoyed the entire process that led up to a very memorable day for us.

s especially helpful since we were planning a wedding in another state. Her message during the ceremony was great and she made us feel so comfortable. Thank you very much for everything Anissa!

ow me and my fiance'.

more perfect! I can begin by saying that the moment we spoke via phone, I knew she was the one! I felt as though I had known her for years! We had a follow-up phone call where she wanted to get to know both of us (how we met, 'our love story', families, when we knew we were in love with one another...) - then even blessed us more by meeting at the location of the ceremony when we arrived in town, to walk through everything step-by-step! Anissa is an exceptional communicator and listener! She has an amazing attention to detail and leaves not one single detail out! Anissa even made signs for our lost loved ones and reserved seating for them at the ceremony with beautifully made signs~ To top it all off, she placed wooden butterflies around the signs, because she heard me mention my love of butterflies during our 'walk-through' appointment. We knew when we selected Charleston how many people are married in the City and travel to be married in this beautiful City - and especially knew how busy Anissa was -- but we NEVER felt rushed - we NEVER felt as though she had other appointments - we ALWAYS felt like we were the most important people on her schedule! I just cannot say enough about Anissa's kindness, warmth, genuine spirit, love for what she does, attention to detail, ability to listen so well, her kind delivery of our vows, understanding...the list goes on and on! Anyone that works with Anissa will find that she will make your wedding even more special just by having her there! She has a glow around her! Anissa even gave us our printed vows to frame!! I feel so blessed having met her and having her share in this moment with us~ Every single guest commented on Anissa after the ceremony and said it was one of the best weddings they had ever attended! I want to repeat the ceremony, just to have her be a part of it again! :):):) xoxo

ook the time to FaceTime us to get to know us a little better and that went a long way. She created a script and story for our big day that was custom made specifically for us. You will NOT be disappointed with her services. I would recommend her a thousand times over

ateful that she took time out of her day to deliver our paper work back downtown for us. She truly went above and beyond.

nd even post wedding Anissa has been so genuine and thoughtful. It was the most beautiful day of our lives, and it wouldn’t have been so without such a wonderful officiant! Thank you Anissa, and we appreciate your recent support and contact on the cusp of so many life changes! Next time we’re in Charleston we absolutely have to catch up :)

organized the rehearsal brilliantly. We enjoyed her leading the rehearsal and I can tell she loves what she does. I especially appreciated the historical information about Magnolia that she shared with those attending the rehearsal, the information really helped set the mood for the wedding. I know my family was very impressed and grateful as well!

xactly what we dreamed of. A beautiful, stress free , Charleston ceremony with all the southern touches that I desired!! Flowers, transportation, brunch, even an amazing tour of Charleston for our friends and family. It was perfect!! I highly recommend Gracefully Wed and hope to use them again for our next milestone anniversay!!

was such a pleasure to have her as our officiant and she truly made our day so special!

t that point. It was awesome, and I will always this day for years and years to come!
