I am a nerd about organization, a romantic when it comes to love stories, and an artist when it comes to writing.
In my work, this translates as worksheets and systems devoted to helping couples profess their love and promises to each other, and using all of that to provide a meaningful day.
As a Love Warrior, I am passionate about equality, acceptance, and kindness.

We were blown away by Amy. She was excellent and exactly what we needed in an officiant. She was calm, confident, humble and kind, guiding my partner and me, who are admittedly anxious little beans, along every step of the way. She even accommodated us having a “plan b” with vows she prepared, in case we were too emotional to read the vows we had written ourselves. Luckily, we didn’t need them!
An officiant was not something we originally budgeted for, as everybody knows someone that knows someone that became ordained to do some friend’s wedding. You will not regret going with a professional like Amy instead of that friend of a friend, or that person that’s known you your whole life, but has never done this before. Amy made the process stress free, crafting a ceremony perfectly tailored to us, our temperaments, and our views on love and life.
Amy is professional and polished with her business, keeping you on schedule with paperwork and planning, and providing resources on everything from unity ceremonies and writing your own vows to changing one’s name. I love to dance, and our wedding day went as smoothly as one could hope for, but I think the ceremony was my favorite part. Amy, who was a stranger to us a year ago, managed to create a ceremony that was personal, intimate, and an extremely meaningful experience.

We highly recommend Amy. She is so kind and thoughtful, she is a calming presence during the whole process.
(which can be overwhelming at times) She is extremely flexible and helped guide us on how to include personal touches into our ceremony. She is judgment free, and made the process way less nerve wracking. She always sent reminders to help keep us on track, which was super helpful. Our ceremony was so beautiful and perfect, I wish we could do it again! She helped make our day incredibly special.

We found Amy through Wedding Wire and felt an instant vibe match. From our very first conversation, she made us feel completely comfortable. Her experience was incredibly reassuring, and her guidance helped us create a ceremony that felt deeply personal and meaningful.
Coming in from Germany to get married, we loved how she seamlessly incorporated elements of German heritage into our unity ceremony—it was such a fun and special touch! The worksheets she provided helped us shape a ceremony that truly reflected us as a couple. She’s an absolute pro at what she does.
Beyond that, Amy has such a modern and inclusive approach. It was clear from the start that she creates a space where everyone feels valued and seen.
My dad kept mentioning how much he liked her and even asked if we had known her for a long time—that’s how natural and welcoming she was. She also helped us refine our vows, which made them even more special.
We’re so grateful to Amy for making everything come together so beautifully. Highly recommend!

We were so fortunate to have Amy as our wedding officiant! From the very first meeting, we could tell that she was not just going through the motions—she genuinely wanted to get to know us and understand our story. Her approach to writing and officiating our ceremony was truly unique and so personal. She took the time to craft a ceremony that reflected our values, personalities, and love for each other, which made it feel even more special.
Throughout the process, Amy was incredibly thoughtful and communicative. She guided us through every step, providing suggestions while also making sure that we felt comfortable with every decision. It was clear that she cared deeply about making our ceremony meaningful, and that sense of care truly showed on the day of the wedding.
On the big day, the ceremony was nothing short of beautiful. We received so many compliments from our guests about how warm, heartfelt, and unique it was. People commented on how personal and intimate the ceremony felt, and how perfectly Amy captured the essence of our relationship.
If you’re looking for an officiant who will take the time to make your ceremony truly special and tailor it to you as a couple, we highly recommend Amy F. Aurore. Her professionalism, warmth, and ability to create a memorable, personalized experience made our wedding day even more incredible!

Our entire wedding weekend was perfect, but the best part was the ceremony - and that's what I was most nervous about! Working with Amy was incredible. She was so amazing in helping us create a bespoke wedding ceremony that was not only deeply meaningful to both of us, but also both fresh and timeless. We didn't know Amy before working with her, but her ceremony was so personal that many of our guests afterward asked how long we had been friends with her. We would absolutely recommend Amy to any kind of couple!

We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our special day! Amy was a fantastic communicator from start to finish. She took the time to understand exactly what we wanted for our ceremony and worked closely with us to craft a custom experience that was uniquely ours.
Her support was invaluable as we wrote our vows; she reviewed them with care and provided thoughtful feedback that made them even more meaningful. The result was a non-traditional ceremony that perfectly reflected our personalities and relationship.
Everything went off without a hitch, and we received so many compliments on how personalized and touching the ceremony was. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. Thank you, Amy, for making our wedding day so memorable and special!

We are so lucky to have found Amy and to have been able to hire her for our wedding! My husband and I knew we wanted to have a personalized, unique ceremony, but really didn’t know where to begin when it came to planning it. Luckily, from our first call with Amy, we knew we were in good hands and could sit back and actually enjoy the ceremony planning process! Her questionnaires helped us narrow down what was most important to us in a marriage and in our ceremony and her final script was a beautiful reflection of us and our values. We especially loved the “love story” section she included from our private answers to her! We have received so many compliments from our guests on Amy and our ceremony and truly cannot thank her enough for being the one to help shepherd us into this next chapter of our relationship. <3 Highly recommend!

Amy was the officiant for our wedding in WV. From our first virtual meeting to the ceremony, she was professional, attentive, thoughtful, and organized. We loved that she had worksheets to help us with writing our vows and to set some themes for our ceremony. These also helped us set an intention for our life together. Amy came up with a touching and personalized ceremony script and helped us to think about ceremony additions like a rose ceremony. She also made sure we were organized and had the proper documentation and for the ceremony. We thought the ceremony and what was said was beautiful and received many compliments from our guests. We would highly recommend Amy as your wedding officiant!

Amy was so great! We really enjoyed the way she made our ceremony feel special. She made she we got exactly what we wanted in the ceremony. During our vows, she gave us space to just tell each other our vows which I thought was really special. She was very quick at responding whenever I had questions and she was just super pleasant to work with in general. We could not recommend Amy more!

We chose Amy as our officiant for our October '23 wedding. We had a meeting with her and knew right away her skills and expertise were exactly what we wanted for our wedding! And she amazed us on our wedding day! We worked together through her process to create something so unique and original that our ceremony felt so true to us. I can't describe how well the ceremony embraced everything we value in each other and our relationship. She truly has a way with words and an understanding of the union of two people! We are forever grateful to her and the beautiful ceremony she helped create with us and in honor or us!

Amy is absolutely amazing!!! We are so happy that we hired her to officiate our wedding!! From initial consultation, we immediately knew she would be the perfect for us and we were absolutely right! Amy took the time to get to know us and our love story and used those details to handcraft our ceremony. She helped us brainstorm and incorporate many things that we knew we wanted but didn’t know how to bring them to life. From an anniversary love letter box as a unity ceremony to a family “I do” and personal vows, she really hit it out of the park to make our ceremony feel true to us!
One of our favorite things that Amy does, is asking us each individually (without the other knowing) simple questions such as what we love or admire about our fiancé and what we want our marriage to look like and used this information in the ceremony. This was such a great surprise to hear things my husband said he loved about me aside from our vows, and was one of our favorite parts of our ceremony!
We got sooooo many compliments on how great our ceremony was and we owe that all to Amy! We are so thankful for Amy doing such an absolutely wonderful job marrying us and we would recommend her to absolutely anyone!
If you’re looking for a non-generic ceremony that you and your guests will remember, hire Amy as your officiant, it will be the best decision you ever made!!!!

She helped us so much in determining the best type of ceremony for us as well as learning who we were as a couple and tailoring the ceremony to that. We received tons of compliments from all of our attendees about how great she was and we personally were amazed by her care and insight.

It felt very personal and like she has known us for a long time. She also did a great job at giving directions and expectations of guests during rehearsal and ceremony day. We would recommend her over and over for anyone looking for a down to earth officiant that knows their field well.

Amy was exactly what we wanted for our wedding! When we started planning our wedding, we wanted to make sure it was decided with our vision at the center. We were able to continue that goal with Amy. She met with us early on and talked to us about what we wanted out of her and how we could best work together. She then gave us a questionnaire later that she used to help format her script and even had us review it before the wedding. Come rehearsal, she was there on time and was extremely helpful in keeping everything on schedule and organized. Lastly, at the wedding, she was the vendor I had to worry the least about because she was there on time, killed the ceremony and we even got a picture with her after! We would recommend Amy for any wedding!!

After meeting with a different officiant who showed us cookie-cutter ceremony scripts, we decided to keep looking. We are so glad we did because we found Amy.
Amy has been a dream to work with. It is so obvious she loves what she does and puts so much heart into her work. Amy listened to us and delivered exactly what we wanted. She was there for us every step of the way through the planning process. Extremely professional, reliable, punctual, kind, and a gifted writer. So many of our guests commented on how great Amy/ceremony was. Can't say enough good things about Amy!

Amy was absolutely wonderful. We spoke with about 10 different officiants and she was the first that took the time to get to know exactly what our dynamic was as a couple. During the ceremony she had everyone in tears with the wording she used and displayed eloquence with the verbiage she used throughout. If you want an officiant that shows genuine interest and has well thought out ceremonies then Amy is absolutely the person to work with!

We knew instantly that Amy was the perfect person to officiate our wedding ceremony! Emily and I felt so comfortable sitting down and opening up to her about our story. She really listened and understood what we wanted out of our ceremony and the results were beyond what we could have hoped for! She made the ceremony so personal and intimate and we got so many compliments about how beautiful it was. It was truly so special for both of us. She helped curate a moment between Emily and I that we will never forget. It was exactly what we wanted- perfect! I couldn't recommend Amy enough.

Let me just start off by saying that Amy is simply the best. She took the time to really get to know us by meeting with us before the ceremony. This made the ceremony more meaningful instead of “a cookie cutter” ceremony. During the ceremony she used personal stories that made our ceremony so special to us. She walked us through the entire process of writing our vows and they came together beautiful. I highly recommend her unique ring blessing ceremony. It was perfect for outdoor ceremony. I am so happy I made the right choice and included Amy in our special day!
