From start to finish, Rev. Erin Goodman was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is a genuine and caring person, and these qualities were reflected in every aspect of our time working with her.
My wife and I would both be placed in the “spi...ritual, but not religious” category, and we were unsure of what we could expect from a non-denominational officiant. We didn’t want a traditional religious wedding ceremony, but we were also a bit wary of having a ceremony that felt too “new-agey” for us. In short, we were looking for something that felt personal and pleasant, but still maintained a classic feel. Erin delivered on all accounts, weaving together a ceremony that we loved on that day, and will love many years from now.
Erin really took the time to get to know us, and it made all the difference. My wife and I would drive down on Sunday afternoons to meet with Erin in her (very cool) office and talk about what we were envisioning for our wedding ceremony, our relationship, our background, and our hopes for our marriage. Erin is an adept listener, and it was clear that she paid great attention to everything we discussed. We always drove home feeling happy and at ease - not always a feeling you can count on when planning a wedding!
Outside of these meetings, Erin was professional and responsive, and it made communication very easy. She was a pleasant, reassuring presence, whether it was months before the wedding, or mere minutes. She lead a beautiful ceremony, made thoughtful remarks, and was incredibly comfortable with our guests afterwards.
Thumbs up all around! Rev. Erin Goodman is a great officiant, and an even nicer person. We’ll always be happy that we chose her to steer our wedding ceremony.
