Where do I even start- Shawna was seriously the best officiant we could have picked for our wedding. From the beginning, Shawna was so communicative, understood what we were wanting for our ceremony, and went above and beyond. She came over the night before to go over the ceremony, which was so reassuring to us. She understood all our cultural values, and spoke in English and Spanish during the ceremony, as well as perfectly told our friends and family about the Ukranian and Mexican traditions in the ceremony. Wherever we had to improvise, Shawna was on top of it all and made the ceremony so seamless. We forgot our vow books and Shawna went out of her way to mail back them to us! My husband and I made a mistake on the marriage license and Shawna had no issue at all redoing her part on the license and mailing it for us. Another sweet touch was Shawna printing out the script of the ceremony, which we will keep forever. We are truly blessed to have had such a caring, understanding, flexible, thoughtful, amazing officiant. Thank you so much again Shawna!! -Masha & Celestino

Such an amazing officiant! We had a wonderful time with Shawna, and she helped the wedding run smoothly. We're not a very religious couple, so it was really nice to have an officiant about to make a beautiful speech on spirituality instead.

I love Shawna. She is so charming and charismatic. At our initial meeting, I touched by her sincerity to get to know my husband and me. She had many insightful questions that help...
ed us narrow down what type of ceremony we wanted to have. She is very open to any ideas and very collaborative as well. She was very helpful in telling us how to navigate getting our marriage license. She helped my husband, and I come up with a custom ceremony that I felt was truly reflective of us! It had the perfect mixture of humor and sweetness. It was also a little nerdy, as my husband really wanted a sword involved. That part I think blew everyone's mind! I received so many compliments on how awesome my ceremony was! Shawna was absolutely amazing, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant!
