and personal atmosphere that truly reflected us as a couple. Everything was beautifully done. Professional, heartfelt, and memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. — Mr. and Mrs. Ryan Feasal

ure no mistakes were made, and provided us with a copy of the ceremony afterwards for us to hold onto. He also waited for one of our guests to come back with our marriage license that we forgot. He was patient, very professional and wrote a beautiful ceremony. He did a wonderful job and I would highly recommend.

o. They were all so beautiful, but we ultimately chose one and modified it slightly to best match us. Dr. Smith was so accommodating and he did a wonderful job at our wedding. During the rehearsal dinner, he went over every detail and we were well rehearsed for our special day.

us several months in advance to go over how things would go and give us tips on how to make the ceremony go well. He also sent us several ceremony options to help us decide what we wanted in a ceremony. Stephan was open to letting us create our own ceremony and even made it into a bound book as a keepsake for us! He attended the rehearsal and was very helpful as our coordinator was unable to make it. On the day of the wedding, he was there early and helped put us at ease. He spoke clearly and his voice matched the occasion. Stephan was especially great with helping us calm our nerves as the emotion of the day got the best of us while reading our vows...he even had a new hankerchief ready for my husband! Another big plus, he knew to step out of the way for the kiss so we would have amazing photos. We would highly recommend hiring Stephan as your officiant!

We received numerous compliments on how meaningful and unique the ceremony was. We highly recommend Dr. Smith to any couple looking for a truly special and memorable wedding experience!

meeting, Stephan had a genuine interest in our story, interests and how we'd like the ceremony to play out. He made recommendations on what's traditional, what's not and what's trending. This was very helpful and helped us understand the specific script we wanted to take. He also provided several sample scripts that we could read through. These helped us craft the perfect flow. The ceremony ended up being beautiful with the perfect blend of humor, sentiment, and tradition. Stephan's delivery was heartfelt and engaging, capturing the attention and emotions of all our guests. Many of our friends and family commented on how lovely and unique the ceremony was, and we owe that to Stephan.

in his responses. Although our needs were simple, he went above and beyond and made sure we were comfortable. The ceremony was heartfelt and tearful, and he even handed a clean handkerchief to us shortly after the ceremony.. That action alone showed us Dr Smith's pure kindness. We highly recommend him.

l comfortable! Would 100% recommend him to anyone!

d with us before the wedding to help craft our ceremony, and was very helpful by providing several excellent examples for us to draw inspiration from. We had a non-religious wedding, and using the examples he sent us, we were able to craft a wonderful ceremony we were both happy with. He is very responsive, extremely thorough with all the important information we needed to know as an engaged couple, and extremely easy to work with. He was extremely flexible with what we wanted implemented in our ceremony, I changed my mind several times throughout the process and he was accommodating every time. We were also planning our wedding out of state, and this was never an issue during the planning process with him. When it came to the big day he spoke very eloquently, all our friends and family were raving about how beautiful the ceremony was. He helped run our rehearsal, while also communicating back and forth with our wedding coordinator, which made us feel much more comfortable come the day of the actual wedding, we worried for nothing knowing it was in good hands! We would highly recommend hiring Dr. Smith to officiate your wedding, we could not be happier with how our day turned out, we will look back fondly on our decision to have him officiate for us.

also comes prepared with many different scripts for the ceremony for you to pick from which was very helpful. Would 100% recommend him!!

s beautifully written for all of our friends and family that attended. He was helpful from the very start, meeting with us and helping to answer any questions we had for our big day.

We can’t thank him enough for his guidance and patience in putting together our vows. He even presented us with an awesome little book of our vows he made, that we will always treasure.
