About This Vendor

For a Magical Start to Your Wedding Day!

Your wedding ceremony begins your life as a married couple, and should be personal and unique to the two of you! As your officiant, I spend time getting to know you, and work with you to make your ceremony something that you will cherish and remember as one of the happiest moments of your life! There are a lot of officiants out there -- what makes my services different? From the VERY beginning, I offer a much more personalized experience for the two of you by not only spending time with you prior to your booking my services, but during the entire process, so that by the time of your wedding day, the three of us are very familiar with one another, which makes for a much more relaxed and personal wedding ceremony. My #1 goal is to have both of you excited for your wedding ceremony -- not nervous! If you read my reviews, you'll notice one theme running through them -- which is that the couples felt very comfortable with me, their wedding ceremony, and the entire experience of knowing what was going to happen, from beginning to end. That makes a big difference! I truly care about the couples I serve -- to me, a wedding ceremony should not be a "production," or "cookie-cutter" -- one size does not fit all! When you work with me, you are working with an individual, from start to finish -- no other people are involved with your ceremony except the three of us! Are you looking for an officiant who truly cares about you -- who will assure that your wedding ceremony will be the highlight of your day, and something that you'll always remember? You've found the right one here! Please contact me, and let's talk about your wedding plans!

Renee Silverman - A Lovely Ceremony Reviews

Reviewed On 8/01/2022 by David F
Honestly, there aren’t enough words to say how grateful we are because Renee performed the most pivotal part in our wedding day. Renee took the time to get to know us beforehand, and by the time we had our rehearsal, it was as if she was alread...
y part of the family. Renee was gracious, professional, very well prepared and above all- truly genuine. We could clearly tell that this wasn’t just a “legal ceremony” that Renee was performing, but a celebration of our love and joy. If you’re anything like we were on our wedding day and the days leading up to it, and your nerves are overtaking your ability to focus on everything and everyone pulling you in different directions, you can rest assured knowing that Renee will guide you through it all, with a gentle tone and a beautiful smile on her face. When we informed our Disney Wedding planners that Renee was going to be our officiant, they jumped with joy and on the day of our wedding she worked seamlessly with the entire Disney team as if they had done this hundreds of times before (which I’m sure she has!). My wedding guests could not stop raving about the ceremony and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. If you’re looking for an officiant, let the search stop here with Renee. My husband & I will forever refer to her as our “fairy godmother” because with a wave of her wand, she gave us our happily ever after!

We are absolutely thrilled we chose Renee to officiate our wedding! Renee is so kind, personable, and easy to work with. On our first phone call, she really took the time to get to know my now husband, Dan, and I. A few months later when it was...
time to write the first draft of our ceremony, she remembered so many details about Dan and I from that first phone call. This helped to make our ceremony so personal. Renee also made the process of getting our marriage license out of state super easy! She sent over all of the necessary info with plenty of time for Dan and I to complete everything. We were even able to get the license mailed to her, so we didn't need to remember to bring it with us on the day! Dan and I loved our ceremony so much. It was exactly what we wanted. We received many compliments from our guests as well. I would recommend Renee to any couple looking for an officiant! She is fantastic!
Response from the Vendor on 07/29/2022

From the moment we first spoke to Renee on the phone, to the moment we were hugging goodbye following the end of our ceremony, we knew we had picked an amazing officiant. Steven and I got married back in March of 2022 at the Grand Floridian Wed...
ding Pavilion, and it was perfect. Disney had provided us with a list of officiants to choose from, and when we saw Renee's website and other couple's testimonials about working with her, we immediately picked up the phone and called Renee, and the rest was history. Renee is a quick and efficient communicator, very knowledgeable, and extremely patient and kind. She took her time explaining to us the different ceremonies we could do, let us take our time in deciding, and then followed up with us in order to confirm details. Prior to the ceremony, she also gave us a checklist for how to remain calm and enjoy our celebration, and then after the wedding she sent me a packet to help walk me through how to change my name! In terms of the marriage certificate, she contacted us right when it was time to submit the paperwork, followed up to make sure we had no problems submitting, and took care of everything else, to the point where the only thing we had to do was sign our names and it was done! SHE IS A ROCKSTAR! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone who is looking for a kind, competent, and responsible wedding officiant. Thank you so much Renee, you MADE our wedding day amazing!
Response from the Vendor on 06/15/2022
Elizabeth, thank you so much! It was such a joy and honor to be a part of your wedding day, and making sure that the two of you were both comfortable and happy during your ceremony is what the day is all about!

Having Renee officiate our wedding was the perfect choice. I cannot explain how happy we are that we went with Renee. From the moment we had our call with her to the time of typing this review, every interaction and experience with her has been...
amazing. She truly knows what she is doing and makes it so stress free on the couple. Planning our ceremony was made easy with her pre-set ceremony options, we ended up combining a few and it made for the perfect ceremony. Every email we sent was quickly responded to(in a day or less!) and she even did her own follow ups and reminders, so great. Day of, meeting her was just like meeting a long time friend or even a family member with how sweet and kind she is. The ceremony went flawlessly and a huge part of this is due to her talking it through with us and giving us her tips. We got a lot of compliments from our friends and family on how Renee was just like our very own fairy godmother. Renee is an incredible officiant and I cant recommend her enough!

Let us just start by saying that if you want the BEST officiant, you would not go wrong choosing Renee Silverman. She was our officiant just recently and from our initial consultation up and through our ceremony, we were continually impressed!...
Renee, not only listened to everything we wished to include in our ceremony, she was able to collaborate and ultimately ENHANCE our dream wedding. We made a friend through the process. If that does not say it all, we do not know what will. If only we could give more than 5 stars!!

I tend to overthink everything and get myself stressed out for no reason. However, I didn't have to overthink anything about our ceremony because Renee was so helpful! Each time I sent her an email to ask a question, I received a very detailed ...
response within the same day. Renee was very thorough and made planning a Disney wedding from Ohio a breeze! On the day of the ceremony, she spoke with my family and I and explained how the ceremony would go. She was very calm, never stopped smiling, and her directions were clear. My friends even commented that she was the perfect person to perform a Disney wedding because of her joyful spirit. Though I did not meet Renee until the day of the wedding, I felt like I had known her forever because of the frequent communication. Leading up to the ceremony, she gave us several options to choose from for our ceremony and took the time to get to know my Fiance and I. I would recommend Renee to anyone who is looking for someone to officiate their wedding. She was absolutely wonderful and my guests still speak positively about her a week after my wedding. I am so happy with my decision to choose Renee. She was a real-life Fairy Godmother! I truly never had to worry about a single detail of our ceremony throughout the entire planning process. I just felt like we were in good hands with Renee! She is WONDERFUL!

l conversation with her was so joyful and full of laughs. We knew before hanging up our phone that we wanted her for our ceremony. Renee gives you the choice to pick her wonderfully scripted ceremonies, or to work together to build your own. She has examples of vows you can use, or she'll assist you with your own if you choose to write them yourself! She made us feel so comfortable through the whole wedding process. And I cannot stress enough how awesome she is at answering emails- we would wait for weeks to hear back from Disney. But with Renee, we'd get a response the same or next day! As for our ceremony, we get to look back on the best day ever and remember it filled with so much love, and so much laughter! Renee even improvised a line at the end of our ceremony that emphasized how much humor and laughter meant to us because it was so evident to her. We loved that! Then she tops everything off with her magic wand- she's a true fairy godmother! We definitely, 100% recommend Renee!

Her 1-2-3 steps that she told us really helped calm my nerves too! We didn't meet in person until the wedding day, but she was so warm and friendly that I felt like we had known her for a long time.

I honestly I could go on and on about how amazing this woman was. She was literally the least stressful thing about my entire wedding. Which says a lot when she's the one conducting the most important part of it. From the very get-go this woman...
was on it. Informative emails, always sweet and courteous. Tons of information and suggestions that made everything go so much smoother. Everybody in our family just loved her to death. They raved about how great our ceremony was. I loved the options from different ceremonies that we could choose. And the Wand waving was just the cherry on top of the cake. She was so sweet before the wedding to give thoughtful suggestions to make the ceremony so much better. It really did help calm the wedding day nerves. I can't go on enough about how above and beyond she goes. From offers to print out our wedding vows for us, to sending us Post ceremony pictures to have until professional ones came in. She really is just Aces. If you're hung up on the price, just do it. You're not going to find a better officiant. She is worth absolutely every penny.

The vows she has to choose from if you're not comfortable writing your own we're so spot on, our families were raving about how sweet it was that we wrote our own! After I spilled the beans, they couldn't believe we hadn't written them ourselves - they were that perfect. On the day of the wedding, she provided so much reassurance to calm our nerves (even to my husband as I walked down the aisle!). The ceremony was beautiful and our families commented on how perfect it was. So many people don't put a ton of thought into the actual ceremony. Renee was incredible and made our ceremony truly memorable for both us and our loved ones.

love for Disney, we wanted someone who would embody the Disney spirit. First, we researched all of the officiants on the list- google searches, web sites, pictures- everything. Something about Renee stood out immediately. Her website really conveyed her excitement for what she does. Being one that exhausts every decision, I needed more. I emailed all of the officiants that were of interest. Their responses set them apart. They were all kind, but Renee's response had a warmth behind it. It was more than words in an email or a business transaction. In between the lines, you can really sense that Renee has a deep love and passion for what she does; she wants to make this day magical for you. Her emails were very detailed and thoughtful- she really has a desire to make that connection with couples. In the spirit of Disney, I said to my fiancé "she reminds me of the Fairy Godmother...I think I want her." He agreed. We scheduled a phone call with her, and she thoroughly went over every detail of the ceremony, fine-tuning it to personalize everything to US. She had so much to offer that we didn't even think of! The 3 of us talked for well over an hour, and even though it was our first phone conversation, it felt as if we'd known her for years. She made us feel so comfortable and reassured. Until that point, the wedding was just a list of things we had chosen through Disney's coordinator- but Renee brought it to life and got us even more excited! She made it more real in that phone call. As the wedding approached, she was in constant contact- reminding us of important dates, keeping us informed on everything we needed, even helping us pick out elements for our ceremony when we were unsure. And then the actual day came. I emailed her the morning of with a little freak-out moment. She called me immediately to offer reassurance and answer all of my questions until I was comfortable. We finally met that afternoon right before the ceremony. It didn't even feel like a first meeting because we had gotten to know each other so well over the months prior. The ceremony was obviously perfection and Renee performed it effortlessly. Some of the guests had roles in the ceremony, and beforehand, Renee was sure to go over everything carefully with them to make sure it was seamless. I was so worried they would arrive and be confused about what to do, but Renee made sure she talked to them and explain everything so they would be comfortable. I've never said to other people after their wedding "wow, we really liked your officiant," but the days following the wedding, we received so many comments from our guests about how much they loved Renee.

My fiancé (at the time) asked Renee for advice while he wrote his own vows, and she helped him through it with helpful suggestions, which resulted in an absolutely beautiful piece that came from his heart.

ect!’ How right were we! Renee spent a lot of time with us going through every little detail for the ceremony and also getting to know the two of us. Our ceremony was tailor made and had some ‘moments’ which all turned out perfectly on the day. One thing that really struck us was how calming Renee is. A wedding can be a nervous moment but having our ‘Fairy Godmother’ :-) running the show, we had nothing to worry about! I really can’t recommend Renee enough, an absolute pleasure to work with and the perfect person to deliver our ceremony. We had such a good time on our journey putting all the details together. We can’t wait for the video to be produced and sent to us to watch it all back, it truly was a fairytale day. Thank you so much, you really contributed massively in giving us our perfect day.

ross her website. The variety she offered, and that magic wand, made me SO excited for the possibilities for our ceremony. Renee quickly set us up with a phone consultation. During that two-hour conversation (sorry that I ramble when I’m both excited and nervous, Renee!), it became evident to my fiancé and I that Renee would be far more than a trusted officiant for us- she quickly became a trusted friend in our planning process. She had genuine excitement when discussing our day- something our own families often lacked. We wanted a unique ceremony, one that tied us together not just with each other but with our little one as well. Prior to the phone consultation, I had been burning my fingertips off frantically scrolling Pinterest for ideas. Renee put an abrupt stop to that stress. She assured me she would handle all of the research and idea creations. I put my faith in her and stopped stressing about it. She also provided us honest, useful recommendations for other vendors we were struggling to choose and walked us through the process to attain our marriage license. She made wedding planning fun, something else everyone before her had failed to do for me. With her guidance, we attained our marriage license and had it mailed to her (so awesome not having to stress about remembering it on the busy wedding morning). Renee was at our venue early when I arrived. She gave me the best hug I ever received, like a long-lost friend I hadn’t seen on ages, and spoke with me- calming all of my jitters. She helped coordinate the ceremony with our Disney planner and photography team. As I prepared to walk down the aisle, she appeared to tell me a little story about how I was marrying the right man- while I was sure of that long before it was time to walk down the aisle, to have someone stop me right before the big moment and remind me what it was all about to begin with meant the world to me. She delivered a FLAWLESS ceremony- one that brought my little family together officially. It was so beautiful. Just re-living it in my memory brings a fond tear to my eye. Ending the ceremony with the wand was such a magical surprise for all of our unsuspecting guests (highly recommend it)! If you are in need of an officiant for your special day, book Renee today before the next lucky bride gets her- you will not be disappointed!!!

call my now wife and I had an instant rapport and immediately made the decision to have Renee to perform the ceremony. Not only did she work with us to provide us with a ceremony that would be both elegant as well as comedic, but she was able to assist in a number of facets that we, as Non-Florida residents, were uncertain about. For instance, Renee was knowledgeable about the marriage license application process and timeline which allowed us to easily complete it from hundreds of miles away. Due to circumstance, our rehearsal was held in a ballroom and our wedding was slated for a different venue. Renee was knowledgeable of the details of our Disney venue and was able to inform us on where certain markers would be. As a result we were able to visualize where we would stand, where to walk, and how to face. This made the actual ceremony comfortable and minimized the amount of faux pas on our part. Because of this, the ceremony went exceedingly well. Renee has a wonderful sense of humor that complemented our somewhat goofy personalities but is very professional to ensure the integrity of the ceremony. She is extremely personable and she was invested in our ceremony to ensure that it was as magical as we could have imagined.

Renee introduced to the “Wine Box Ceremony.” It was another fabulous idea that my husband and I absolutely loved, as well as our wedding guests. Renee worked with us to keep our wedding ceremony at 10 minutes or less in length, which was very successful. We can’t thank Renee enough for making our wedding ceremony absolutely magical, heartfelt, and memorable!! If you are looking for an officiant, I encourage you to contact Renee. She is truly amazing!! Thank you again, Renee!! Sincerely, Mr. and Mrs. Bradford Davis

ce during the planning process, she was always there for us and really quick to respond to any of our questions or concerns. On the day of the wedding i felt so comfortable and happy because i knew what Renee had put together for our ceremony and just her overall presence created the most magical atmosphere! I would reccomend Renee to everyone out there getting married, she is so trusting and knowledgeable about creating and presenting ceremonies. She makes every ceremony unique and special and we could not have been more thankful. The whole process was amazing and if we ever do a vow renewal she will be the first person we contact! We love you Renee!!! Happily in Love, Pat & Jess

sh us a Happily Ever After! Over several months and many emails, Renee helped us write a ceremony that had so much personal meaning for both of us. She started by sending us a lot of ideas and sample ceremonies, and we told her which ideas we liked. Then a rough draft, and more edits as time went on. It honestly felt like collaborating on a masterpiece. If you want a special and unique ceremony, Renee will work with you to give you that. By the time our wedding day arrived and we finally met in person, Renee felt like an old friend. On the big day, she gave us some good tips about how to keep our minds focused on the moment and keep it that much more meaningful. She helped us feel relaxed and calm and grounded to what really mattered. Our ceremony was full of pure joy. We want to get married again because it was so much fun the first time! Renee Silverman was absolutely the right choice for our wedding ceremony, we are so lucky to have worked with her.

My new husband, Todd, and I worked with Renee on our ceremony for our wedding in Walt Disney World earlier this month, and we can't say enough about how special she made our wedding day for us. From the intial point of contact to the wedding da...
y, she worked with us on creating a truly unique, memorable ceremony that was EXACTLY what we wanted. We had a very small wedding with immediate family only, and we didn't get any sort of rehearsal included in our wedding package with Disney...but our ceremony was extremely important to us. We knew we needed a non-demoninational ceremony, and we wanted the ceremony to be all about us -- how we met, our shared passion for running, and, of course, incorporate a few touches of Disney magic. Renee not only helped us write a ceremony that captures so much of what makes us unique as a couple, but she took the time to schedule extra calls with us to ensure that we always felt comfortable and knew exactly what to do on the big day. She was always quick to answer e-mails and offer support and guidance on everything from the process of filing for a marriage license to offering feedback when we were writing our personal vows. On top of all of that, she is super sweet, personable, and an absolute pleasure to work with -- I was actually a little disappointed that we didn't get to spend more time together on the wedding day! If you are looking to create a wedding ceremony that's personal and unique, we can't recommend Renee enough -- hiring her was, by far, one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

a truly different custom ceremony to go with our beauty and the beast themed wedding that she did a fantastic job meeting all our expectations. Honestly she made the process so easy and fun and stress free by taking care of all the large and tiny details. After one draft we basically had a ceremony that needed no changes and that we had been beyond excited about! Also even in times where things got hectic for her she never didn't reach out and was always a call or email away no matter what! We feel so blessed to work with Renee as she truly is unbelievable and so sweet. Our day could never been as special without her help and her presence. We love you Renee we are forever grateful to have had you be apart of our happily ever after!!

't sure at all where to start. Renee sent us some ideas over to start with which then meant we could add some little personal touches in here and there which worked really well. She is SUPER professional. Communication was fabulous. Renee decided to skype with us to get to know us as a couple (and our cat Boo! haha) which was just so lovely. From there on, any email sent was literally replied to in an instant, which just shows how dedicated she is to the couples she works with. This was excellent when planning a wedding in Disney Florida when we are from the UK. Knowing that someone is that easy to speak with really put your mind at ease. Our ceremony was just magical. I have been a massive Disney fan since I was young and had been dreaming of the perfect Disney Wedding. Renee really managed to capture the magic of Disney. All of our guests commented on the little Disney touches that we decided on, including the 'magic wand' which was a last minute addition. My father was quite emotional in walking down the isle and when we reached the bottom he had to sit down and missed his cue to say who was giving me to marriage. We hadn't noticed this until we watched back a video that was taken. Renee, I'm guessing you noticed this but dealt with it brilliantly so that none of our guests noticed. I would like to thank you for that. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts for helping us to create such a truly memorable ceremony. You are such a genuine, kind, funny and overall amazing person. We were so lucky to have met you. If you haven't gathered already we would HIGHLY recommend Renee to anyone looking to get married. She is FABULOUS!! Hannah and Martin x

Owner
I've been performing wedding ceremonies since 1977, when I officiated at the wedding of a dear friend -- it lit a fire in me that has never gone out! Since that time, I've had the honor and privilege to be a part of so many weddings -- each one unique to the couple who's being married -- and it never gets old! "Do what you love -- love what you do" is so true! There's no better job in the world!
