Stefanie was so incredible to work with! My wife and I just got married on 4/6. Stefanie was so helpful throughout the planning process. She made it very easy to communicate thoughts back and forth. She was very open to our opinions and went above and beyond to make sure it was exactly what we wanted. The execution wedding day was flawless. We had many guests tell us they thought the ceremony was really great, specifically because of Stefanie! We would highly recommend her for anyone in need of an officiant!

You two were amazing and so was EVERYONE I got to interact with on the day.
Thank you again, darlings!

I can not tell you how special and amazing Stefanie is. From the moment I read her bio, I knew she was the one. We met her over Zoom, and it felt like we were best friends just catching up. My husband's grandfather passed away three days before our wedding, and when we reached out to Stefanie to tell her, she knew exactly what to do. She adjusted her script to include Grandpa so he could still be a part of it and was so supportive and understanding that our day was now so bittersweet. She told us she also did funeral services if we needed her, but the family had already made arrangements with someone else for the service. She was a bright shining light during our wedding ceremony. She brought so many laughs and also made everyone cry, in the best way, of course. I couldn't have been more grateful. But then, 2 months after the wedding, my husband's brother passed away in a tragic accident. When his wife asked for help with arrangements, we immediately reached out to Stefanie. The kindest soul on Earth, she changed her plans for the entire weekend so that she could be available for us. Stefanie, words can not express how grateful we are that you exist and the help and hope you've given us. We got married a year ago, and I am so sorry it has taken us this long to spread the word about what an absolute angel you are. If you are looking for the perfect person for your wedding, you have found her. Thank you so much, Stefanie. Love, Marna & Brandon <3
Response from the Vendor on 05/28/2024
Marna - I don't even have words. You two were incredible. Even with everything going on, you were calm and collected. I was so proud of both of you. The changes you needed were simple to make, even if a little sad, and I was MORE than happy to ...
be there for you two. Thank you again for having me.
PS - good lord. Those pics. However, the one with me smack-talking Brandon while waiting for you might be a new favorite. :)
Reverend Stefanie was absolutely great! She was helpful, easygoing, and just plan incredible. She is professional and very thorough with her work. Highly, highly, recommend!
Any questions?
Stefanie was amazing. Our ceremony could not have gone any more smooth. We got to customize to an extent and I loved that feature!!
Pick Stefanie! She was a joy to work with. Our guests loved her energy. She was easy going and fun. Really matched our vibe.
Stefanie did an amazing job of writing our script, communicating, and calming our nerves the day of. We had so many guests asking if we knew her personally after the ceremony and all we had to say was “No, she is just genuinely involved with her clients!” We really felt like she was an old friend throughout the entire process. My husband and I could not recommend her enough!
Revvie Stefie was INCREDIBLE!!!! I absolutely didn't want a stiff, boring, cookie cutter ceremony for our elopement and she DELIVERED! She had a very thorough questionnaire, a great meeting, and the process for tweaking all the parts of the ceremony was so easy and perfect.
I always thought that an officiant would just say "What kind of ceremony do you want?" and then you just get whatever they give you on the wedding day.
Stefanie was SO thorough about including details, inside jokes, advice, and wisdom in our ceremony and she gave us full ownership of tweaking/changing each and every section.
She was SO good with my new stepdaughters and even though we had a section for them in the ceremony, the girls decided to write their own vows and surprise us with them. Stefanie took the time to go through the ceremony with the oldest to find the perfect spot for the girls to read them to us, and she made them feel so involved.
Stefanie was absolutely a ray of sunshine on our day and we wish we could've spent more time with her!
Response from the Vendor on 09/25/2023
Not me crying while the girls read those vows. I was TOTALLY calm and composed!
Tyssa, you and Neil and the girls were just ... amazing. Clients like you are what makes what I do so fulfilling. Lovelovelove all four of you! Thank you again fo...
r trusting me with your day.

Reverend Stefanie was the perfect person to officiate our wedding. She instantly made us feel comfortable upon our first conversation and she helped everything feel so natural. At our ceremony, we had several friends as if she was family. That is how good she was. We love Reverend Stefanie! ❤️
When planning our wedding, hiring Stefanie was the best choice we made. She made sure our ceremony went flawlessly. She had a plan and she guided us through the chaos. She made our guests laugh, she made them cry, and she remained cool and collected the entire time. 11/10

Stefanie was so amazing and everything we could have wanted in an officiant. She was the perfect mix of funny, goofy, and heartfelt and was happy to make any adjustments so that we got exactly what we wanted. On the day of the wedding she was there for both of us and very supportive. We will always have such great memories from our wedding and Stefani was a big part of what made the day of so special!

I cannot recommend Stefanie enough. She is exactly what we wanted and hoped for in an officiant. From the first time we spoke we felt like family with Stefanie, she wrote the funniest but also most beautiful and genuine ceremony that had everyone in tears of joy. Multiple guests said when they get married they would love to have her apart of their day. Words cannot describe how great she really is so you should just book her for yourself and see, you won’t regret it. 🤍🤍🤍

Reverend Stefanie was the best to work with! From our first meeting to the wedding, I have absolutely nothing negative to say! She wrote the perfect ceremony for us based on our lives and what we wanted. She helped us with our vows, and made sure everything came up perfect!
Guests still rave about her to us! Everyone was in love with her and the ceremony!
I would recommend Stefanie in a heartbeat to anyone looking for someone who will truly celebrate a personalized wedding ceremony!

I honestly have no words, but will try my best. My husband and I fell in love with Stefanie from our first consultation. She was funny, quick-witted, and focused on bringing us out of our shells to get to know us. She wrote and delivered the most amazing ceremony speech. With her added personal touches, you would have thought we've known Stefanie for years and years. She made our ceremony so memorable, and we are so grateful to her and would recommend her for ANY and every event that needs officiating.
Response from the Vendor on 02/01/2023

We love Stefanie! As soon as we finished our consultation meeting we knew she was the one. I was an anxious bride, particularly being in front of all of the guests. The first thing she did when she arrived was make sure I was supported, as well as when I reached the top of the altar. EVERYONE commented on how amazing she was! Love her to pieces!

Stefanie was so AMAZING!!!! She listened to what we wanted and added input in certain aspects I wasn’t sure about. I requested a nondenominational romantic ceremony and she hit the mark. It had my family in tears from how amazing it was. She even found a way to include my dogs into the ceremony!!! During the reception everyone came up to us and said how much they loved her Stefanie’s energy. I am so happy I found her because she made my wedding so much more special!!!

Stefanie was so fun and easy to work with! Everyone raved about our ceremony and all the special touches we included. Reverend Stefanie also helped me surprise my now husband during the ceremony which was really cute too! She was also very professional, and followed a timeline for developing the ceremony script so that we were able to approve it and have it ready weeks before the big day! She also was very thoughtful and organized with the ceremony materials and included a little packet of our things. I would recommend her for any couple - well, only if you're fun! :)

If you are on the fence about hiring stefanie let make the decision for you—lock her down! From our first conversation we were hooked! It is very important to Stefanie that there is chemistry between the couple she is marrying and herself! She genuinely wants to know your story, how she can make your ceremony special and she certainly delivers. She is super sweet, very funny and 150% there for you! I had a lot of anxieties about my wedding day coming together and she was always there to offer advice, a kind word and just general support. If I had the chance to go back in time and redo aspects of my wedding I would hire Stefanie again without a question! She is completely worth looking into and I would recommend her to any couple! Thank you again Stefanie for making our wedding so incredibly special! 💜

Alexis - thank you!! I adore you and Demetric. Your wedding was just lovely and I am so grateful I got to be there.
I absolutely adore Stefanie!! From the first email response that I got from her, I knew she was the one to officiate our wedding. Then right after our zoom call, we definitely were ready to get married right then and there! With each little detail that we wanted in our ceremony, Stefanie made our day even more special. She brought her humor and wit and we were really appreciative of that because it definitely helped with all the nerves. I would wholeheartedly choose Stefanie over and over again!!

Jaclyn - thank you (and Austin!) so much for including me. I had a wonderful time!

Stefanie is absolutely wonderful! My husband and I wanted to find someone who could make us feel comfortable on our wedding day. Stefanie is incredibly energetic and funny, but she can adjust to whichever mood you want for your ceremony. She’s very quick to respond and is always so kind to check up on us. Many of my guests have told us that they really enjoyed our ceremony because her presence helped keep order and energy in the space. I highly recommend her because she can really make you feel grounded and very comfortable on your wedding day!

Reverend Stefanie is amazing!!! She is incredibly sweet, kind, and truly cares about you having an amazing experience on your wedding day. We knew after our first meeting with her we wanted her to marry us. She makes the ceremony reading completely custom to you and sends you a draft before it’s finalized. She does an incredible job and we absolutely loved the ceremony reading she wrote for us. It was the perfect mix of what we wanted, and we will cherish it forever.

Our day was amazing because of Reverend Stefanie!! I was so relaxed knowing she had us and she brought the perfect sense of humor we wanted and I just can’t imagine having anyone else apart of our day. If one thing in our wedding went amazing it was our decision in having Reverend Stefanie apart of it. Do yourself a favor and GET HER ASAP!!! You will NOT BE DISAPPOINTED AT ALL!! Every single person in my wedding asked us how we found her and how they wanted someone like her. I love you so much Stefanie for being apart of my day and making me feel so comfortable up there!! You are truly amazing person!!! 🥰🥰 - Love the Kirk’s (09-25-22)

Kylie. Sister. I think you've got that backward. I just showed up with my usual sass and you tried to kill me at the altar!! I haven't laughed so much or enjoyed myself quite like that in years! You and Justin were just amazing and Olivia is my...
new BFF. Please tell her I said hi and that I still love her boots.
Love you all!

We could not have asked for a better officiant for our wedding! We completed Reverend Stefanie’s questionnaire and were so impressed when she wrote her draft and we didn’t have to or want to change a thing! She was truly a blessing on our big day and we absolutely LOVED her! 10/10 recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 08/11/2022
Amber. Seriously.
My job is made super easy when I have clients like you and Ellie. You're also clients that remind me why I love what I get to do! XOXO
Stefanie has amazing energy. She is super creative, responsive and collaborative. We wanted a non-religious yet somewhat "spiritual" ceremony with personal vows and a handfasting portion. We added some quotes from our favorite writers, and she captured everything splendidly with a relaxed, easygoing vibe. Helped us feel comfortable throughout the whole process, even working with us independently on our vows. So much fun to work with and adds a personal touch.

JAYME! You and Chris were just lovely to work with, and your wedding was simply gorgeous! Thank you SO much for including me! XOXO

Kristen - you two were amazing and I adore you both. XO
Stefanie is the best! If you are looking for someone who is fun to work with and that can make you laugh, she is perfect! She was even able to include our kids in the vows like we wanted and it made our day that much more special!
Response from the Vendor on 07/05/2022
Chelsea - you two were amazing to work with and I ADORE your family. I am SO glad you included me! XO
Stefanie is AMAZING! We had an odd situation and she was MORE than willing to help us out. We’re dual military and I came down on orders to leave months before our actual wedding. I sent her a message, moved our ceremony to an elopement, at a random park, months earlier than planned, and she was ALL IN. She drove over an hour, to meet us halfway, for a 15minute ceremony and there never wasn’t a smile on her face. Although I was panicking about all of the changes, Stefanie made this experience, carefree, organized, and wonderful all the way around! I cannot wait until December where she will be able to marry us a second time in front of our family and friends.
Response from the Vendor on 07/05/2022
I LOVE YOU TWO SO STINKING MUCH! XO
Stef was exactly what we wanted for our wedding! We couldn't have chosen a better officiant. She was kind and funny and made us feel comfortable immediately. She was great at communicating with us, from the initial inquiry, through our consultation over cocktails, right up until our wedding day. We never once had a doubt that she was the right choice for us. She wrote the perfect ceremony for Laurie and I. It felt unbelievably personal, with a touch of humor and faith...exactly what we wanted. We can't say enough great things about Rev Stef!
Response from the Vendor on 03/07/2022
OMG.
Jen - you and Laurie were an absolute dream to work for, and I'm completely smitten with you both. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for letting me be there for you.
XOXO
From our first Zoom meeting, Stefanie had this energy and excitement that no one else could match. She was genuinely excited to write our ceremony dripping with pop culture references. Each email showed her growing excitement for our big day. When that day came she was everything and more- kind, genuine, funny, and paid special attention to me (bride) to keep me from breaking down at any given moment. She performed the ceremony flawlessly and received nothing but praise from our guests. You only get married once and you want it to be memorable. Stefanie did just that. Everyone needs Stefanie for their officiant.
Stefanie was amazing from the beginning and all the way through the ceremony. She was incredibly on top of every aspect, especially genuinely happy to be there. Our ceremony was full of pop culture references and humor. She did every part spot on and did the ceremony without skipping a beat. There is no one better. She will help you make a very personalized ceremony to fit your wedding.
Loved her OMG. I didn't get the pleasure of meeting her in person prior to the ceremony, but even as I was getting ready I had some of my bridesmaids tell me how much they already love her after she arrived to the venue.
As I stood at the ceremony site all I could think of was "omg she is so cute I love her!!" then I had to quickly remember I am in the middle of getting married! lol
She made the whole process smooth and lighthearted just as we wanted. So happy with Reverend Stefanie!

There isn’t enough space to list all the things we loved about Stefanie and working with her! She was incredibly communicative, easy going, supportive, and cared so much about creating a space where we could be very authentic with each other. Not only is she hilarious and the absolute sweetest, but you can tell that building rapport and genuinely getting to know her couples is so important to her. By the time our elopement rolled around, it truly felt like she was one of our friends marrying us. I’d get married again if it meant Stef got to officiate!
Response from the Vendor on 11/02/2021
Sara, my sweetest girl - I cannot believe how absolutely wonderful your ceremony was. Hands down my favorite elopement to date. Love you both oodles!! XOXO
Stefanie was beyond what we could have hoped for for our wedding! She got to know us before our wedding so she could create the most perfect ceremony for us. She was incredibly responsive in all of our communications and in the time leading up to the big day. By the wedding day, I was so comfortable and calm with Stefanie that it felt like one of our best friends was marrying us. She handled all of the challenges flawlessly and truly put me at ease throughout the whole thing. When I reached the end of the aisle for our ceremony, she smiled and winked at me, reminded me to breathe, and I knew everything was going to be perfect. Both my husband and I cried tears of joy during our ceremony and it was amazing. I would recommend Stefanie to absolutely everyone, she was such a joy to work with. Our ceremony was fantastic and memorable, and it was all thanks to Stefanie!
Response from the Vendor on 10/13/2021
TAYLOR! I love you so! You and Justin were absolutely incredible to work with. Everything about your ceremony was just wonderful. Especially you two!

Stefanie went above and beyond in creating the perfect ceremony for our big day. She worked her butt off making changes constantly and the final thing was just incredible and what we wanted. She is patient and wonderful and even drove three hours just to do the job. We can't thank her enough! Book her now!
Response from the Vendor on 06/15/2021
Heidi, you and Brooks were an absolute pleasure to work for, and your wedding was just beautiful. Absolutely worth the drive time!!
XOXO
Hands down the BEST of the BEST!! We could not have asked for a better person to marry us!! Not only is stefanie unbelievable sweet she is such a people person! Everyone absolutely loved her at our wedding! She gets to know you before your wedding so know instead of it feeling like a complete stranger marrying you it’s like one of your friends! I will recommend her a 10000x’s!! If she’s not marrying you are you even actually getting married 🤷🏼♀️Our wedding won’t be what it was without her💕
Response from the Vendor on 06/15/2021
Thanks, Lacy! You and Justin were entirely too much fun to work with!
XOXO
Really understood the couple and clearly spent time to make her officiant speech unique to them! Joked, kept the mood light, and focused on the bride and groom only. Lovely human overall.
Stefanie was super great in getting our wedding license signed. She offered to give us personalized touches in a sermon and even presented us with a small gift. I would 100% recommend using her (and would use her again if I ever needed to). You couldn't find a more thoughtful person for this position in your special day!
Response from the Vendor on 04/30/2021
Awww, thanks, Riley. Kitchen table ceremonies are one of my favorites!
XOXO
Amazing to work with and a lot of fun to have as a part of your big day. Recommend her to anyone I know thinking about a wedding.
