Tara was amazing. She communicated well with us and offered suggestions and assistance where needed. She made sure our marriage license was signed before the wedding so we didn't have to worry about it after. The script she wrote for our wedding was absolutely perfect. I would highly recommend her for every wedding ceremony!

Tara Robinson

Owner

I love "love" and have been very fortunate to find my person. I am an agent for love and want to help bring loving individuals together to become the couple of their dreams. I am a spiritual person and was asked by my sister to perform her wedding in 2018 and I was honored. As a poet, spoken word artist, current Toastmasters speaker, and budding comedienne, I have the gift of bringing calm (or hype) to a room as well as looking at a situation and getting it orderly quickly, LOL! Still, I know I'm just the conduit to allow the beautiful couple to have their glorious experience.

emony that was heartfelt, personal, and unforgettable. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful our ceremony was and how much they loved Tara. So many people commented on her warmth, professionalism, and the genuine love she poured into every word. As if making our ceremony perfect wasn’t enough, Tara surprised us with the most beautiful personalized keepsake—a heart-shaped dish with our names and wedding date. It was such a thoughtful gift that we’ll treasure forever. That level of kindness and attention to detail says everything about who she is. Thank you, Tara, for making one of the most important days of our lives so meaningful. You gave us a ceremony we’ll never forget and memories we’ll cherish forever. If you’re looking for an officiant who truly cares about her couples and makes your love story shine, Tara is the one. With love and gratitude, Sara & Shonta Fierce ❤️

de so her insight made the biggest difference in our special day. Her attention to detail and encouraging, kind words are something you don't find often these days. We got so busy with life after the wedding that we didn't realize it was our 1 month anniversary. Well you know how we realized it, Tara. She messaged to share more of her amazing spirit with us and made a day that would have just passed by something special. She will remind you several times it's you two against the world and in marriage that is something you need to hear and remember. I could go on about her forever but if this is someone you are considering just stop looking and make the choice. At no point will you regret it.

Could not imagine having another officiant at our wedding! When we first met Tara (via zoom) we knew instantly she was the officiant for us. The warmth and kindness she radiates ...

just immediately puts you at ease, which is oh-so more extra special in what can be a stessful time leading up to such a momentous occasion such as a wedding. Having her presence on the day of your wedding was also (for us) just such a joy. We opted to write our own vows with prompts Tara provided. In addition to hearing each other's vows for the first time that day, another surprise was hearing Tara's observations regarding our story and vows. She takes the time and care to review not just we say (or in this case write) about each other but she's able to provide an insight and perspective about us as a couple as if she's known us for years. It was truly special.

Tara is a wonderful officiant who accomodated our special requests and was so helpful as we planned our ceremony. She was so calming, and really listend to exactly what we wanted a...

nd delivered, I couldn't recommend her enough. Like so many others, the pandemic caused us to postpone our original wedding date, but we chose to tie the knot privately with our friends and family still in 2020, while moving our big celebration to November of 2021. My big direction (and probably the only one really) was to "make it feel like it's the first time we got married" and she REALLY delivered. Tara is a delight, and I can't recommend her enough!

Tara is a wonderful officiant, who is kind, patient and approachable. From the beginning, she took time to understand our needs and requests and get to know us for who we are. Tara...

made us feel comfortable, and her calming presence put us at ease throughout the entire process. On our special day, Tara designed a beautiful ceremony that was heartfelt and genuine. It had a good balance of humor, personal anecdotes and positive affirmations — everything was very touching. Overall, we had a great experience with Tara and would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding officiant, especially one who specializes in many types of ceremonies. She is a true professional and is knowledgeable and passionate about what she does.

Giving her a 10/10! The best officiant ever! Tara took her time with each session to get to know us individually and as a couple. She NEVER was biased, or judge mental. Very profes...

sional, understanding and was very patient with us, as we were opening up and being vulnerable. My husband (fiancé at the time) even said that he was very happy we ended up doing the sessions, and he was against it at first. We both came out learning a lot from our sessions. I even decided to take some one on ones with her. She even helped with our rehearsal! The best part about it all is she had us so comfortable we were able to share laughs with her. And she’s SUPER affordable. Thank you again Tara for everything. 🥰🤍
