Orlinda was absolutely wonderful! She was professional, organized, and created the perfect ceremony for us as a non-religious couple. Everything felt genuine, personal, and exactly what we were looking for. We highly recommend her!

Orlinda was amazing!! She does an excellent job customizing your ceremony to your preferences, she communicates well, and made the process so stress-free. She made our ceremony positive, sentimental, and eloquently spoken. So many of our guests came up to me complimenting her officiating. She exceeded all expectations, and we couldnt have had a more perfect ceremony. She is the BEST!!!

We loved having Orlinda officiate our wedding. Being out of state, we had a phone call with her for our initial meeting. She then had us fill out a questionnaire and send it back t...
o her. From this, she wrote out a first draft of what she would read out at the altar. She managed to make it feel very 'us' and was open to any edits and thoughts we had. We wanted a snowy wedding and Orlinda didn't complain, and somehow managed not to shiver, as she was marrying us. We loved what she wrote and it very much felt like she actually knew us and our relationship. She did such a great job. Thank you, Orlinda!
