We couldn’t have dreamed up a more perfect officiant than Amy from Choose Love Weddings. From our first conversation, Amy’s approach made us feel so comfortable. She took the time ...

to truly understand our story, values, and vision. She crafted a ceremony that was not only heart-felt and profoundly personal but also filled with warmth, love, and a touch of humor that allowed everyone to experience the depth of the moment. Amy’s presence on our wedding day was calming, reassuring, and full of joy. She effortlessly created an inclusive and welcoming space, ensuring that our love was celebrated in the most authentic way possible. Every one of our guests raved about how beautiful and moving the ceremony was, and we couldn’t agree more! If you’re looking for an officiant who is kind, thoughtful, and passionate about celebrating love in all its forms, book Choose Love Weddings. Amy, we are forever grateful!

e wedding ceremony process, which we were especially grateful for. To be completely honest, my husband and I felt pretty lost when it came to even knowing where to start with finding the right person or team to officiate our wedding. We were so thankful when my sister came across Amy and Caroline from Choose Love Weddings, because from the very beginning, everything just clicked. We were able to connect with them only a couple of months ahead of our wedding date, and they absolutely knocked it out of the park. Beyond their professionalism, Amy and Caroline genuinely took their role to heart. They led such meaningful, thoughtful conversations with us that helped shape the flow and tone of our ceremony in a way that felt deeply personal and authentic. Amy and Caroline are truly some of the kindest people — you can immediately tell that they love love, in all its forms. We feel so lucky to have worked with them on such an important day in our lives and cannot recommend Choose Love Weddings enough to any couple looking for an officiant team that truly cares.

My partner and I were married in November 2022. Besides preferring to keep the ceremony short and nontraditional, we were uncertain what we wanted overall. Caroline made us feel so...

We were comfortable putting the ceremony in her hands and she officiated it beautifully with much love, intention and laughter!
