Lynn was everything we had hoped for in a marriage officiant and more.
My husband Steve and had been engaged for a year and a half and had become professional procrastinators when it came to planning our big day. We were so excited at the t...hought of getting married, but neither or us wanted the fanfare or the stress that sometimes comes with a wedding.
One night over dinner, Steve jokingly asked me if i wanted to elope in New York (we're Aussie's btw). We had already planned and paid for a month long tour of America and were planning to be in New York over New Years Eve. A few nights later, i went back to Steve and told him that i wanted to talk seriously about his 'joke'. By the end of the week it was settled. We would be married on the Gapstow Bridge in Central Park on NYE. After breaking the news to our families i immediately started research on elopements in NYC and became super excited.
First matter of order? A fabulous wedding celebrant. I jumped straight onto 'The Knot', my go to wedding guide, and searched for officiants in Manhattan. My eyes were immediately drawn to Lynn's friendly and warm profile picture and after my first contact with Lynn, i knew she'd be perfect for our occasion. No fuss, no muss. Lynn got straight to the heart of what we wanted for our day by asking the right questions and listening to our wishes. Steve and i are not dedicated to a particular faith, so we didn't want any reference to religion in our ceremony. Lynn took this into consideration and crafted the most beautiful ceremony, albeit 10 minutes long. We wanted something short and sweet and she certainly delivered. Standing on the Gapstow Bridge in her fabulously groovy officiant attire, she opened with as verse from each of our favorite musical artist's which didn't leave a dry eye on either of our faces. Everything that followed, right up until the official announcement of 'i now pronounce you man and wife'was said from the heart, which clearly shows that Lynn loves doing what she does.
Lynn, i am honored to write this testimonial for you and again want to take the opportunity to thank you for making our day so memorable and special.I hope our paths cross again some day.
If anyone is considering eloping or marrying in New York, i highly recommend you get in touch with Lynn. You won't be disappointed.
Summah and Steve
