Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Your wedding ceremony should sound like you — not like a plug-and-play script. At Linden Grove Occasions, we write and officiate ceremonies that feel romantic, a little playful, and full of heart. The kind that tell your story, make your guests feel connected to the moment, and leave everyone saying, “That was so them.”
We believe the ceremony is the beginning of your marriage, not just the warm-up before the reception. So we take the time to get to know you — your personalities, the silly things, the quiet things, how you met, what you’ve built together, and what you’re dreaming up next. Then we turn it into a ceremony that feels like home.Whether you’re envisioning a joyful custom ceremony, a small elopement, a vow renewal, or a family-focused wedding with kids and blended families, we’ll help you create a moment that’s sincere, relaxed, and unforgettable. We warmly welcome all couples, including LGBTQ+ couples, interfaith and intercultural families, and those who prefer spiritual or completely non-religious ceremonies.
On the day of your wedding, we bring a calm, confident presence — handling the details, coordinating timing with your vendor team, and guiding everyone through the “I do’s” with clarity and heart. You won’t have to wonder what comes next or worry about nerves. Your only job will be to look at the person you love and take in the moment fully.If you’re dreaming of a ceremony that’s meaningful without being stiff, fun without being cheesy, and personal without being overwhelming, we might just be a perfect match.We’d love to learn your story. Send us your date and venue to check availability — and we’ll take it from there.
We are honored to be a featured vendor with Marmalade Lily, Madison Event Center, Hotel Covington, The Ohio Barn, Wiedemann Hill Mansion, Magnolia Estate and Oscar Event Center.

My husband and I are so happy to have had Tracey and Sam as our officiants for our wedding. The amount of time and thought that they put into our ceremony is incredible. They sat d...
own with us on multiple occasions just to learn about us as people and what we envisioned for our wedding. They even worked on our ceremony / love story while they were on their own honeymoon simply because they love what they do! Not only that but they sent us multiple rough drafts in the process to get our thoughts and make sure it was exactly the way we wanted it. Tracey and Sam are two of the most caring, selfless, creative, personable & professional people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. In the end our wedding ceremony was the perfect depiction of the love my husband and I share. All of our guests were captivated by the words they had written and tears were flowing! Thank you both for taking such care with our ceremony & the dedication you put into your passion!

We used Tracy for our wedding, and her and her husband went all out to make the day magical. We had several meetings leading up to the event where they helped us write our love sto...
ry, our vows, and were available to answer any questions that arose throughout the months leading up to the wedding. One of the first compliments I got from our guests after the wedding was how much they enjoyed how our love story was a part of our ceremony. It gave our ceremony a unique and personal touch. I am so happy that I chose Tracy as our officiant, and I couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you!

Words hardly capture how grateful we are for Tracy and the beautiful presence she brought to our wedding day. From the moment she began speaking, there was a warmth in the air, a s...
oftness, a peace, a feeling of being held in something sacred. It was as if she wrapped our ceremony in love itself.
Tracy didn’t just “officiate” our wedding… she breathed life into it.
Her voice carried comfort.
Her words carried blessing.
Her energy carried every emotion we hoped to feel; joy, romance, gratitude, and that deep, quiet sense of this is exactly where we’re meant to be.
She honored our story with such intention and tenderness, making our ceremony feel intimate, personal, and truly magical. Every line she spoke felt perfectly crafted for us, and the way she delivered it made the whole moment feel timeless, something we will hold in our hearts forever.
We felt blessed in every way:
blessed by her presence,
blessed by her spirit,
blessed by the warmth she brought into the room.
Our ceremony had all the “fuzzy” feelings we dreamed of, the kind that make your heart swell and your eyes well up. Tracy created an atmosphere that felt sacred and romantic, yet calm and comforting. She allowed us to be fully present, fully connected, and fully in love.
Tracy did an extraordinary job, truly above and beyond. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant to stand with us on one of the most important days of our lives. She gave us a ceremony we will remember forever, and we will always be grateful for the way she blessed our union.
To anyone looking for an officiant who can bring heart, warmth, authenticity, and beauty to your wedding, Tracy is the one.
Thank you, Tracy, for making our day feel heavenly. We will cherish you always. 💛✨

Working with Tracy and Sam was an incredible experience. They approached our wedding with a level of care and intention that made us feel as if we were in good hands from start to ...
finish. Beyond being extremely accommodating with meetings and wedding prep activities, the team at Linden Grove Occasions demonstrated a commitment to making our day as special as it could be that at times rose above and beyond what anyone could reasonably ask. This was exemplified by their willingness to meet us where we were, in terrible conditions, to be of assistance to us in what could only be described as the worst of times. Booking Linden Grove Occasions was among the best decisions we made in the process of planning our wedding, and I am beyond certain when I say that had we booked another vendor, our event would not have risen to the level it did in their care.
Choosing an officiant for your wedding is among the most important decisions you can make in the planning process. Take it from one happy couple to you, that choosing Linden Grove Occasions and placing your trust in Tracy and Sam is a decision you most certainly will not regret.

lpful when we went to write our vows. She also came to our rehearsal dinner to help us get everyone organized before the big day. My husband’s family and friends are from India, so this was their first American traditional ceremony and Tracy took extra time to explain the ceremony and the meaning behind each part. I also love how she was able to incorporate some of my husband’s traditions into the ceremony as well. We wanted a traditional American Ceremony, but she did offer to learn how to conduct the ceremony using southern Indian tradition. She and Sam were so accepting and kind to both of us and our families and friends and took all of our families traditions in stride. She also was able to include our dogs in the ceremony. My husband and I now look back on our happy day and know she had a big part in making sure that everything went well. Thank you Tracy and Sam!

While our speech itself was great and the ceremony went beautifully, it was very obvious that our day-of officiant did not have the same level of care or professionalism as Tracy. Despite this, I would still recommend them as Tracy was fantastic to work with and very flexible.

I cannot thank Tracy and Sam enough for making our wedding day so incredibly special. My fiancé and I live in Las Vegas, but we decided to get married in Columbus, Ohio, during my ...
family reunion and my father's 80th birthday. We were planning a surprise wedding—which, as you can imagine, came with its own unique set of challenges. From the moment we reached out to Tracy and Sam, we knew we were in good hands.
Tracy and Sam were beyond accommodating, especially considering we were coordinating everything from a distance. They took the time to get to know us, and they were genuinely excited to help us pull off this surprise for our families. They provided us with guidance and support every step of the way, and their communication was always clear and responsive, making us feel completely at ease.
When the day arrived, they executed everything flawlessly! Not only did they lead a beautiful and heartfelt ceremony, but they also kept the secret, making sure the surprise remained intact until the very last moment. Our family was shocked and overjoyed, and it’s all thanks to Tracy and Sam’s incredible professionalism and enthusiasm.
The ceremony itself was perfect—personal, meaningful, and delivered with such warmth and authenticity. Tracy and Sam's passion for what they do truly shines through, and it made all the difference in creating such a memorable day.
If you're looking for an officiant who is not only professional but also kind, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making your wedding day everything you dream of, look no further than Tracy and Sam. They went above and beyond to make our surprise wedding one for the ages, and we will forever be grateful for their role in our special day!
Thank you again, Tracy and Sam—you made our dream wedding a reality!

t it would be precisely how we wanted it to be. Both Tracy and Sam are very attentive, and have a strong passion for the work that they do. They helped us write our personal vows in a way that we were able to have a similar length/tone without having to see the other person's vows prior to the ceremony so that it could be a surprise on the day of the wedding. Tracy did a wonderful job officiating our ceremony, and we really enjoyed working with her while planning our wedding.
