We had such a wonderful experience with Stephanie, our ceremony was beautiful, and all the communication along the way was great!
We would not have had the beautiful ceremony we did without Rev. Stephanie. We worked together through marriage counselling and creating vows etc, and both of us felt so supported ...
and seen. Thank you for creating a safe space for us.
They are an extremely calm and comforting presence and hold such grace and respect for all those around her. Would highly recommend their services for anyone in the area!
We adored everything that they did to help us, which seemed to be an endless stream of knowledge and experience. We had marriage counseling sessions that provided for the most incr...
edibly personalized and tailored service that we could have asked for. Family members were touched, as we were, and they were very lovely with our families and the guests. Also they’re a really cool person, and a gifted singer! Wow!
Reverend Stephanie orchestrated a beautiful ceremony for our NYE wedding and we can't be more thankful that we found her. We had the opportunity to create a ceremony script togethe...
r & from the first draft Reverend Stephanie captured our relationship perfectly. We opted not to write our own vows, but the short and sweet ceremony still felt personal with touches added by Reverend Stephanie. Thank you so much for being part of our day (a very important part) and wishing you all the best!
Reverend Stephanie did such a wonderful job officiating our wedding! Even with me and my husband hating the spotlight, Reverend Stephanie made both of us feel as comfortable as we ...
possibly could have during the ceremony. Then what stood out to us even more was all of the care and attention Reverend Stephanie put into our pre-wedding planning. In our search for an officiant, I was concerned with finding a perfect balance in the officiated ceremony honoring our/our family's religion while excluding any wedding traditions that we felt as sexist or LGBT+ unfriendly. From the start, Reverend Stephanie alleviated all of our concerns and met with us multiple times to talk through the exact type of ceremony we wanted. She then sent us a draft of the ceremony and let us many any comments/changes in order to truly customize our wedding day. It turned out better than we could have ever expected! We also met with Reverend Stephanie for pre-marital counseling, and we can't thank her enough for so kindly walking through multiple important conversations with us. We never felt any judgement from Reverend Stephanie, just a genuine wish for us to feel as much strength in our relationship as possible, and we truly believe our conversations helped us feel closer than ever.
Hiring Rev Stephanie was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding ceremony. We met with her one time, then filled out her questionnaire- based on only that she was able to...
craft the most personal and touching ceremony and vows like she’d known us for years. Both of us were in tears saying our vows and most of our guests were too! So thankful we found her, we absolutely loved our ceremony.
Reverend Stephanie was recommended to us by our amazing wedding planner. We knew we wanted a secular wedding, but we were not really sure how we would go about planning a ceremony ...
that felt true to us and fitting for the momentous occasion. Once we met Reverend Stephanie, we instantly knew we were in good hands. Her gentle and clear way of speaking immediately makes you feel close to her, and her approach to officiating is truly so personable. We really appreciated the way she seemed to truly be invested in learning about our story and what our vision for our wedding was. We loved the process of working with Reverend Stephanie to come up with a special ceremony unique to us. She was always available to collaborate on creating the perfect ceremony. We had a lot of guests mention how our ceremony was very “us.” The ceremony was so fantastic that a couple at our wedding decided to also use Reverend Stephanie for their wedding next year! We highly recommend Reverend Stephanie if you are wanting a unique and memorable ceremony. (Side note: she was so quickly able to jump out of the frame so that we could have our “kiss” shot without her in the background! That’s the sign of a real pro!)
Rev. Stephanie was WONDERFUL to work with! After just a couple of conversations with me and the groom, she was able to craft the most perfect ceremony script. Seriously I was blown...
away. She was very prepared on the wedding day and even had a tissue waiting for me because I started crying before I even got to the altar. She was so personable and adaptive to the type of ceremony we wanted. Can't recommend enough!!
Reverend Stephanie with Many River Ministries is truly phenomenal! My fiance and I contacted her very last minute and she was very accommodating. She made us feel very at ease from...
the moment we met her and was truly a highlight at our little elopement ceremony. I can not recommend Many Rivers Ministries enough for anyone looking for the BEST to officiate their special day.
Reverend Stephanie is such an amazing person. We met at a coffee shop and had an instant connection. It was almost like we had know each other before. We talked about our relations...
hip and how we wanted to portray our love at the wedding. We told her we wanted and intimate/romantic ceremony and she nailed it. The ceremony was so perfectly written and there wasn't a dry eye in the room. Throughout this whole experience she was so personable and professional. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant.
Reverend Stephanie is the BEST! She really listened to what we wanted for our ceremony and the vibe we were going for. The service was short, sweet, and yet so powerful. I will che...
rish those words spoken forever. She made the whole process smooth and easy. I highly recommend her to any bride looking for a customized ceremony service!
Stephanie was absolutely incredible.
That is just to start. She is a voice of compassion, strength and empathy and a woman who speaks deeply of love. I was blown away when my husb...
and and I met her in late September 2017 and we knew she was who we would want officiating over us in 2018.
She was in contact often reminding us of our vows and sent a draft of the ceremony. It was beautiful and my every expectation of weddings dropped because just then I realized it was ours.
She led the rehearsal and was funny, blended our families as one (the first time they all met!) and reminded us to take care of ourselves. It was truly touching.
She arrived early, and came to the bridal suite to check on me and talked to me for a few minutes. It meant a lot to me that she had a copy of my vows...because my hands were too shaky to write them in the vow book (to my surprise).
She had confidence, communicated with the other vendors, communicated with my bridesmaids and family and even whispered words of encouragement during the ceremony.
She's an absolute delight. We love her, my family loves her, my guests love her and I haven't stopped handing out recommendations.
Thank you Stephanie, so so much.
Stephanie was a pleasure to work with and gave us a truly special wedding ceremony. We connected with her and we just loved her energy. She is very good at what she does and she re...
ally appreciates and respects what she is doing: bonding 2 people for life! She’s an absolutely lovely woman!
My husband and I both cried a little when we first read the ceremony she had put together for us. It was a perfect blend of spirituality and christianity. Nothing was overwhelmingly religious, which is EXACTLY what we wanted. She is an excellent public speaker as well, her voice carried across the open field we were in, and all of our guests could hear and understand her!
Stephanie is very organized, and helped us take care of a lot of the legal paperwork needed to actually get married. She answered all of our questions about her services as well as the legal proceedings we needed to take (either on our own or thru her).
We highly recommend Stephanie!
Stephanie was great to work with and made the ceremony easy going and smooth!
We struggled a little to find an officiant we were comfortable with, but from the moment we first met her, we knew Reverend Stephanie was the perfect match for us. In addition to f...
ully understanding our needs and desires, she helped us to create space for our families to celebrate our marriage in a way that was meaningful for them without compromising our own beliefs. In just a few conversations she helped us to articulate our vision for our ceremony and then crafted a service for us that was so far beyond perfect it was almost overwhelming. On our wedding day she was a calming presence who guided us through our "I do's" with ease and experience - she even helped us to craft our own vows that were meaningful to us (and included a few giggles, and a few choked up moments as well). We could not be more thankful for her guidance in making our lifetime promises to one another.
Reverend Stephanie and Many Rivers Ministries is the BEST! My husband and I were anxious at the thought of choosing an officiant but once we met Rev Stephanie we instantly felt at ...
ease! Rev Stephanie crafted the perfect ceremony for us and was so helpful leading up to and even after our special day! We could not have chosen a sweeter spirit to officiate our day and I highly highly highly recommend her and her services!
Reverend Stephanie is the kindest, sweetest soul and she is wonderful at what she does. We chose her to officiate our wedding after meeting her for coffee and really clicking with ...
her. We talked to her about our relationship, our quirks, our difficulties, etc. and she turned it all into a beautiful, unique ceremony which we were able to review and edit as much as we wanted before the wedding day. She arrived early and walked us through every step of the ceremony. She made us feel very prepared and very comfortable, even in front of 100 guests. And then she handled all of our paperwork for us! Reverend Stephanie is the best and we were so thankful to have had her to officiate our special day.

our personalities... faithful but not overly religious. She worked with us diligently to write and edit our ceremony. She even came to the rehearsal to ensure we were prepared and comfortable (which many people will not do without extra charges). I could not recommend her enough! 5 stars all the way!
