Minister Manda

When reminiscing about why our dream wedding was executed so perfectly and who to thank for that, it's hard not to put Amanda at the top of that list. Months before the wedding, she had her ducks in a row. She came to the table with great ideas. Neither myself or my wife had ever been married before, so she was an ace at hand-holding us through the entire process, every step of the way. We had many touch bases prior to the wedding date, planning for the big day. On the day of, she came, early, and well prepared. She even stepped in to help in a few areas that our coordinator was supposed to, but didn't. She wrote an amazing ceremony introduction speech, instantly engaging us, while captivating our beloved family and friends. She printed our vows ahead of time, double-spaced with large font. I did not know it until that moment, but that was the most emotional speech I had ever given in my life. Emotions came crashing down on both my wife and I. Amanda picked both of us up with a few light-hearted jokes, and put us back on the tracks, and onto our I do's. I can't express how much this meant to us. We received many compliments on how beautiful our ceremony was; the words were meaningful, heartfelt, and sincere. We were told there was not a dry eye in the audience. Amanda really knows how to draw an audience in and keep them engaged. She hit a perfect balance of sentimental and humor in her speech. It was everything we could have wished for, and more. She did such an amazing job that our videographer used her ceremony speech as the main narrative in our wedding film. We will forever be grateful and would recommend her for any wedding. She's very professional and detail-oriented. It's easy for her to listen to a wedding execution plan, and know exactly where and how to spice it up. If there was one word to sum her up, I would say she's just "brilliant"! From the bottoms of our hearts, thank you again!

Amanda was a dream. My husband and I got married in Hocking Hills in July, and finding an officiant was the last thing on our list. I was so burnt out on wedding planning by the time I booked Amanda that I probably would have booked anyone, but thank goodness I happened to book the perfect person! We wanted something non-traditional for our ceremony, and Amanda executed that so perfectly. She fit in the quotes and tributes that I wanted, and, to cap it all off, we had the most perfect tequila shot unity ceremony. It was fun and sweet and sentimental all at the same time. On top of it all, Amanda is such a sweet human and was so easy to work with. I can’t recommend her enough!

Amanda was a wonderful officiant. The best I could ever ask for to marry us. We were able to speak with her and get advice from her at any moment. Highly recommend!

I have to say Amanda is amazing! She was very helpful prior to our ceremony. She was prompt, professional and knowledgeable. I would absolutely recommend her services
