Steph was very friendly, professional, and wonderful to work with! We were looking for a simple legal ceremony and Steph walked us through every step of the process. Since we had m...
oved here from out of state, she made it very convenient by providing the two required witnesses and even performed the ceremony in our home. She was very easy to plan and communicate with, and her prices were a great value for the service provided.

Choosing Steph as our officiant was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, she took the time to get to know us and helped craft a ceremony that...
was both personal and heartfelt. On the wedding day, her presence was warm, calming, and professional, which made us feel completely at ease. Our guests kept telling us how beautiful and meaningful the ceremony was, and we couldn’t agree more. We are so grateful to Steph for making such an important part of our day so special.

Steph was absolutely fabulous. The effort she put in to meeting with us prior to our agreement to use her as our officiant was perfect.
Throughout the process, we felt understood,...
considered, and supported. She worked with us to craft the perfect day even for a small elopement (4 people) in our small home. Her attention to detail regarding everything from our story to the pronunciation of names was excellent. We felt like she truly found great joy in learning our personal story and customizing our ceremony to that story.
Since our wedding day, we have been telling everyone about her and hope that she continues to have amazing success making others feel as special as we felt.

We worked with Steph at Peak Ceremonies to plan a surprise elopement at our wedding rehearsal. What could have been a simple commitment exchange was made into something beautiful, ...
memorable, and thoughtful. Steph's attention to detail, from quick communication, to the questionnaire we filled out to help her write her ceremony was just incredible. Her kindness in a stressful time was so wonderful and I would highly recommend her to anyone who asked.

When you’re selecting the person that is going to marry you, it’s a difficult decision. This person will be a part of the most important day in your relationship- and most of the t...
ime, you don’t even know them. With Stephanie, she immediately feels like family. She took care to learn about our story and shared hers. She made the process of building our ceremony seamless and fun. We enjoyed working with her. We had so many compliments on our ceremony. My only regret is that we can only get married once because we genuinely loved working with her.
If you want someone who is going to care about what you care about, support your story and you declaring your love in front of your family and friends in a way that feels authentic to you and your partner- Stephanie is the only choice! We cannot say enough good things about her.
