About this vendor
Hello! My name is Sue!
I am more than a wedding officiant, I am a wedding celebrant. I get to know you and your family and your ceremony will reflect what I learn.
My motto is, “Your Day, Your Way.” I will work to ensure that your wedding ceremony is everything you want. I write a ceremony that is as unique as the love you have for one another. You and your fiance, along with your guests, will laugh and cry as I read your love story.
My prices begin at $ 200.00 for ceremonies, and $ 100.00 for rehearsals.
Areas Covered
I perform ceremonies in Orange, Seminole, Osceola and the surrounding counties. Please note that there may be an additional fees added for parking, tolls, and travel.

Do not waste your time with this lady. I have been trying to get in touch with her for days. I have called, texted, emailed, sent messages through the knot. She refuses to get i...
n touch with me. I'm thinking I might have to try to find another officiant with less than a month before my wedding.
I have not heard back from Sue since November 1. My wedding is the first week of December and I’ve left voice mails and emailed 6 different times. The last I heard from her she sai...
d she wanted to set up a phone conference to go over the ceremony details. She never contacted any of my family or friends and I ended up writing my own ceremony. At this point now that I saw that she didn’t show up for another person’s wedding, I will have to get someone else. I am hoping that something bad didn’t happen to Sue, but I can’t get a hold of her and there doesn’t seem to be any information online for why she isn’t responding. At this time, I can’t recommend her. It’s sad, because our phone conversation at the start months ago were fantastic. I am out the deposit money, but at this point I need to find someone who is responsive.
Will ghost you. Save yourself the money.
Sue was amazing! She asked lots of questions to personalized our ceremony and even went out of her way to get quotes from our friends and family too.
Very professional and great!! Helped make our day beautiful! 😊
I cannot say enough good things about Sue and her services. If you are looking for a truly beautiful ceremony that you will never forget - you must have Sue there. Sue comes prepar...
ed to tell your love story that is constructed by you, your spouse and select loved ones in your life. You can tell that she carefully crafts this story and really goes above and beyond to make it your own. I don't think there was a dry eye for any of our guests because of how much passion Sue communicated during the ceremony. I'm telling you - she is the BEST!
Sue was great! She captured our relationship beautifully!
Honestly, I can’t say enough good things about Sue. She was patient and kind with us. The ceremony was everything we wished it would be. We highly recommend her!!
Sue was so easy to work with and answered all my questions either if it was on our call or if I texted her. She wrote us a beautiful love story and she really got to know us as a ...
couple. I would highly recommend her to any couple for their big day.
Sue was a dream to work with! She’s responsive, detail-oriented, and calm (for those of you like me who have lots of nerves!). We couldn’t have asked for a better ceremony.
Sue was AMAZING! She was in contact with us multiple times in the months leading up to the wedding and she genuinely wanted us to have the ceremony of our dreams! She requested inf...
ormation/stories from us and our loved ones and used these stories in our ceremony! Sue attended our rehearsal and made sure we were comfortable with our performances before we left. She was very personable, punctual, and has a very friendly/calm voice, which was perfect for the ceremony! Sue was absolutely amazing and the sweetest officiant. Definitely recommend!
Her ceremony speech was very thoughtful and everyone who contributed felt included. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish.
I don’t even know exactly how to put into works how amazing Sue is. Planning a wedding is hard. Planning a wedding from another state entirely is a whole different level of hard. S...
ue went above and beyond in everything she did. Communication was excellent, she had no problem working with our crazy schedules in a different time zone. She helped with ideas, planning the ceremony, brought up things I never would have thought about at all! Sue is so passionate about her work and it really shows. We did the custom ceremony and I am so thankful we did. Sue captured our story from our first time meeting to marriage and everything in between so beautifully. Her glowing personality and bright smile added to our ceremony as well. She truly made everyone feel so welcome and excited. Sue had everyone (especially myself) crying AND laughing. Sue truly is a blessing and and artist in her field. I couldn’t have imagined our day without her.
When my fiance and I were looking for an officiant, we knew we wanted someone who would be able to personalize a ceremony that would tell our love story. Sue was the absolutely the...
best to work with! From the beginning, she made it clear that she would essentially be able to tailor our ceremony to however we wanted it to be. Even though we only spoke through the phone and email prior to the wedding date, we feel like Sue was able to grasp our story and who we were and create a personalized ceremony for us! She is quick to respond to messages and so fun and easy to talk to. We loved hearing how she put our love story together during the ceremony and there wasn't a dry eye! We highly recommend Sue to anyone who is in need of an officiant in the Central Florida area!!
Sue was absolutely amazing. I knew she was the one for our wedding after the 1st conversation we had. She was so sweet, funny and personable. I cant even explain how easy she was t...
o work with. We absolutely LOVED sue!
My husband and I were married 1/16/21 at Cypress Grove Estate House. We hired Sue as our ceremony officiant. She was very kind, helpful, and thorough throughout the planning proces...
s. At the last minute we found out from the venue that she needed special insurance. She worked really hard and fast to meet that requirement and we were so grateful. She sent my husband and I separate questionnaires as well as to our close family and friends to get a good read on who we are and what our story is. This is a great system if used correctly. We did not know what she was going to say at our ceremony aside from all the regular formalities. We wish it was not a surprise because we felt that the "story" portion of the ceremony dragged on a bit and was not the best representation of us and how we wanted to be presented as on our wedding day. It seemed as though she read answers verbatim from each questionnaire instead of using them to form a nice, inspiring ceremony spiel. Overall, Sue was a good choice and she truly knows what she is doing. I would recommend her but I would also recommend you confirm that what she plans on saying paints the accurate picture you want painted of you at your wedding.
Helpful and knowledgeable, offered us choices of ceremonies. Very friendly.
We had a rescheduled wedding due to covid and found out a month before that our original officant couldn't make it. I contacted Sue who had no problem stepping in for us on shor...
t notice. She has this cute way of telling your love story as part of the ceremony.. that is something I never even thought about doing. We ended up with a wonderful ceremony where all our guests got to hear our unique story. Thank you Sue for being a wonderful part of our special day!
We were scheduled to get married during the absolute worst of the pandemic lockdowns, and Love Bird worked with us through every problem that popped up. Reschedule? No problem. Cha...
nge all the plans we had made for the ceremony? No problem. Do a second elopement ceremony so we could keep our special anniversary date? No problem! Love Bird was fantastic every step of the way.
The ceremony (both of them, actually) was unique to us and felt so personal and special, too. A lot of work was put into that, and it made us feel special. Love Bird also helped us plan everything, and even sent us check lists and deadlines ahead of the date, to make sure everything went perfectly.
Very reasonable rates, as well.
We could not have been happier.
Sue was everything I could Imagine! My grandfather, a who baptized me and did my first communion was supposed to marry us but due to covid we didn’t want to risk it. Then we found ...
Sue. During our first call just feeling out officiants, we knew instantly that she was the one to marry us. She made a personal story for our wedding and It was better then perfect! She even had my grandfather participate virtually and had a special spot in the ceremony to include a reading from him. So many laughs, also had one of my bridesmaids and parents crying, just listening to the story of me and my husbands life thus far together. I 10/10 recommended her if you are looking for an absolute perfect ceremony! Thank you again Sue! You made our day even more special!
Sue was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. She was responsive from day 1. She met us before we booked her so we could get a feel for her. She answered any questions we had ...
and kept in contact until the wedding day. The ceremony and story she prepared were perfect and we, as well as our guests, loved it.
Sue has been absolutely amazing with us so far. Helping us with things we didn’t even know we needed. She’s insanely sweet and such an amazing person all around. I will definitely ...

ond my expectations at the wedding, walking down with us and taking a video of our plunge in a cold spring!
What meant the most is that she sat with us afterwards and ask us about our history together. It was the 40th Anniversary of our first date.
Sue was great! She helped with all of the questions I had and always responded very quickly. The ceremony was beautiful. She was very nice. So glad we chose her to do it for us.

I am from Massachusetts and was looking for JOP to renew my vows while in Disney. Sue was very responsive getting back to me within 24 hours. I contacted her about 4-5 months bef...
ore the planned renewal and we touched base frequently. From the moment I spoke to her I knew she was the right fit, very easy going laid back personality and a Disney lover was the icing on the cake. The day of the ceremony she was absolutely amazing! We had a little hiccup no result of her but she was willing to stay to make sure everything went smoothly and I had the most amazing day!. My husband and kids absolutely love her! I highly recommend her 100%
These guys were great. They helped us nail finishing touches to our memorable wedding. They went with flow for our unique wedding. Ultimately they help make our dream wedding real....
Sue is so knowledgeable and is comforting to work with.
