We are beyond fortunate to have partnered with Windi on dozens of events, and have high confidence in any ceremony that is placed in her loving and capable hands. Windi approaches each couple with care and professionalism, and we have so enjoyed watching the magical way she brings couples together to be married. As a vendor, we could not recommend her more!
When we first met Windi, we knew that we had found the perfect Officiant for our wedding. Windi helped us polish a ceremony of our own creation, embracing our uniqueness and eclectic spiritually. Windi is absolutely amazing - we cannot recommend her enough!
Windi is an exceptional person and officiant. She played a vital role in making our wedding go smoothly and we could not have asked for a better experience. She wrote the most beautiful ceremony that reflected exactly who we are as a couple. She also helped us create a unique unity ritual (hand fasting) that all our guests loved.
Windi is so down to earth and FUN! She was amazing to work with. She handled all the details for us and told us exactly what we needed to do before, during, and post wedding. We especially appreciated her meditative moment to help calm our nerves right before the wedding.
We booked Windi through a referral I received and we could not be happier with our selection. She is the BEST, and if you hire her, know that you will get the same quality, professional, tailored-to-you experience that we received. She has been doing this for a long time and it shows. Simply the best! Thank you so much, Windi for making our day so special!
Windi was wonderful. Throughout the entire planning process and our wedding day, she helped guide us through details of the ceremony, vows, mindfulness, and even all the nuances of the marriage certification process. We trusted Windi and couldn't be happier having her lead us through our union. We can only give our highest recommendation for her.
Myself and my husband (it's still fun to say that) utilized Run to an Elopement for a signing. While it was "just" a signing - at no time did we feel like "just" a signing couple. Windi was helpful, attentive, and professional throughout the process. The Run to an Elopement website was helpful with the steps in the process of getting the license at the courthouse. Windi did a great job of matching our energy on the day of. Highly recommend!
Windi was our officiant for our wedding in September. She was easy to work with, understanding and helpful throughout the process. She brought a positive energy and attitude to the day. Everyone in attendance said the ceremony was lovely. I would recommend! Thanks again Windi for everything! :)
Windi is not only an amazing officiant, but she is an even better human being! She is a great communicator and gave us a peace of mind leading up to the big day. The ceremony was beautiful and everything that we wanted. I still get compliments on the uniqueness of the ceremony and how engaging our officiant was. We are so grateful we were able to work with her!
Windi was amazing as our officiant for our wedding, I highly recommend her. She was extremely professional, kind and energetic. I felt so comfortable with her and she really took the time to understand our story and write a ceremony that fit us. We received so many compliments on the ceremony she wrote and it made our wedding day so special. Choosing Windi as our officiant was the best choice we made and I can't recommend her enough!!
Windi was the right officiant for our wedding. We needed someone to to take care of the legal aspect of our marriage before our destination wedding but there were no dates available at the courthouse. We did not want to have two ceremonies because we were saving our vow exchange for our special day in Puerto Rico.
Windi got us officially married at a coffee shop and the experience was perfect for us!
She was efficient and very nice. I highly recommended her.
One of the best parts of our day! Loved everything Windi did and brought a great energy to the ceremony. We highly recommend doing the mindful moment before the ceremony as well.
Windi was professional while also having the best personality! She was fun and welcoming while still keeping everything on schedule, and making sure we felt okay. She did amazing on our ceremony readings as well! She made us feel so comfortable, and we were honored to have her be such a special part of our wedding!
Windi was super easy to work with and always very prompt. She also always had this great happy energy to her. We just had a little ceremony, but she got the vibe from the very beginning and did everything she could to match with what we had in mind. It worked out great.
Windi was everything we could have asked for! From the get go she was caring, pleasant, and thoughtful as well as very well prepared, confident, and knowledgeable. You can really tell that Windi has officiated many weddings and has done an amazing job at every one of them. I really appreciated how well she was able to understand our needs and wants right away, as well as knowing when to listen and when to step in to offer advice from her vast experience. I would recommend Windi to anyone!
It was the best experience that we could have asked for.
Windi is truly a gift to the wedding world. We really wanted our ceremony to feel unique and personal. She helped us develop a ceremony that was formal, but allowed us to have fun and be ourselves. She let us guide the process but provided helpful tips and recommendations. She was so supportive throughout our planning process, always offering her help beyond her job duties. I am so grateful we had her with us on our wedding day. I highly recommend her - I’d do our ceremony a hundred more times if I could keep working with her!
Windi was an amazing officiant and walked us through every step of the way. She made the whole process extremely easy while delivering a very unique, touching, and heartfelt ceremony. We highly recommend using Windi for your wedding!
We loved everything about Windi from her loving and quirky spirit to her absolutely hilarious sense of humor. She completely encapsulated exactly what we as a couple wanted from our ceremony and knocked it out of the park. Not enough words can express our gratitude to her for making our big day that much more special!
Windi was great to work with! Extremely professional, funny, very kind, and a huge help. She writes the wedding ceremony to perfection. She let us approve the words for our elopment and our candle lighting ceremony. She does respond to her wedding couples fast and is always willing to help out if she can. She is a delight to work with! We would recommend her to anyone!
We made the best decision having Windi as our officiant! From the beginning, she was great with communicating and thorough in asking the right questions to understand our vision for the ceremony. The rehearsal with our family and bridal party went very smooth and made everyone feel ready for the big day. On our wedding day, she brought an amazing energy, created a meaningful ceremony, and everything went seamlessly. We can't thank her enough for making our day so special!
Windi did a fantastic job at making our beautiful wedding come to life! She kept us on track, looked to us for our inputs but also guided us through everything, and always had us as the bride and groom as the main priority. Our ceremony was perfect and she calmed us down on our big day. Would highly recommend!
We can't say enough good things about Run to an Elopement!
When we decided to officially wed, Windi was right there to provide us excellent guidance and a time-line of items to accomplish leading up to the wedding. Her direction made the process seamless, and helped us accomplish everything we needed to do, timely.
We sincerely appreciate everything she does and highly recommend her for your ceremony needs.
Thanks again, Windi!
BEST OFFICIANT EVER!!!!!! Truly I can’t even express how much we loved windi as and officiant and as a person!!! She is so kind, warm, calming, and down to earth. She made the entire process so smooth and organized but all so emotional and spiritual. We literally cannot sing her praises enough!! 5 stars isn’t even enough to give her 10+ stars !!!!
We cannot say enough about Windi. I'm in the wedding industry and I have seen so many times couples get married and the ceremony is generic. The officiant doesn't know anything about the couple. The worst is when they read off the cell phone. We didn't want a package deal where we had no choice in who married us. This was the most important part to my husband and I, our ceremony that brought us together as husband and wife. Windi met with us online (we were 4 hours away) so we could see each other face to face and everything just clicked. We knew she was the one we had to work with. She wrote our ceremony around us. It was perfect. When we met her the day of she gave us both encouraging advice. We felt like we'd known her forever. She was 100% real with us. She even brought mints :)
We absolutely chose the perfect person to unite us in marriage. She is the best of the best!
Windi was a fantastic choice for our wedding day! She made the entire process easy. She custom wrote our ceremony for us from scratch and even filed our marriage certificate for us after the wedding. The ceremony she wrote was beautiful! I was always concerned about having a non-religious ceremony that was "interesting," as most wedding ceremonies you attend are based around religious readings. She did such a great job of creating a beautiful, love-focused ceremony for us!
Windi was amazing! I cannot say enough about how great she made our day. She was wonderful during rehearsal and she was wonderful the morning of and she was wonderful during the ceremony. The ceremony she wrote was absolutely perfect for us. I would recommend her a million times over!
Look no further. Windi made sure the ceremony went flawlessly, that there was fun, a sense of inclusion, and overall just had her stuff together! She was able to manage the crowd, made sure we were centered, and wrote a beautiful ceremony. Not a dry eye in the place. If we did it all over again, Windi would be the first call.
Windi was so great! She did an amazing job of getting everyone in order and explaining what needs to be done. She was also super flexible with some last minute changes that happened which is great. She is just so personable and caring I could not have asked for a better person to be our officiant for our wedding.
Windi made our day absolutely perfect! My husband and I eloped in Hocking Hills, OH, while we live about 4 hours away. She was able to make vendor recommendations that we probably wouldn’t be able to find on our own. She wrote our vows for us but they still were so personal and individual to us, it was exactly what we wanted to say. She helped me stay calm as I walked “the aisle” (pathway) so I was in the right mind space to say I DO! She made both of us feel so welcome, like we had known each other forever. I couldn’t ask for anything more!
We had an incredible experience working with Windi and highly, highly recommend her services. She not only created a beautiful, personal and deeply meaningful ceremony for us and our families, but she also provided us with plenty of guidance and assistance in the weeks and days leading up to our ceremony. I appreciated her reminders and check-ins as our date got closer, and I also appreciated her availability as questions or changes came up. Windi clearly has a lot of wedding experience under her belt and I know having her as our officiant made our big day so much more enjoyable for everyone.
Windi was the absolute perfect choice for our wedding. From the beginning she was very knowledgeable, personable, and just made the whole experience very simple and easy for us. She helped us tailor our ceremony to be exactly what we wanted, and was a delight to talk to! She also made sure that everyone knew exactly what they needed to do on the day of the wedding.
We should have known we picked the perfect wedding officiant during our initial consultation with Windi when she encouraged us to bring our dog if that is what we wanted, offered to help with any and all logistics, and even suggested some great vendors that we ended up using. Windi is a brain trust on all things weddings and is more than willing to let you pick her brain. However, the most impressive part was the absolutely beautiful ceremony Windi wrote for us. She has such a gift for writing and perfectly captured who we are as a couple. Then we get to the wedding day. Windi is early, prepared. Offers to hold my vows, carry our cords for the handfasting ritual, and anything else we need. After the ceremony, she helps wrangle our pup so we can get photos with and without her. I can't recommend Windi highly enough if you are looking for an all around great human who will go above and beyond to help take some of the stress out of your planning and wedding day, and will even throw in a beautifully written ceremony that will make you feel like she has known you for decades.
Windi did a wonderful job at our wedding as our officiant! She was professional and also very fun. She got a feel for our family, and all of our personalities and built our ceremony accordingly. She was so fun to work with snd made us all laugh. Would very much recommend!
Windi was amazing to work with! She is incredibly supportive and super organized. She handled everything seamlessly. I highly recommend hiring her!
Windi is an incredible human being. She spent an hour with us to learn about our relationship, our goals and how we can grow as a couple. From this discussion, she crafted the perfect ceremony script. On our wedding day, her calm demeanor helped us relax and be nothing but excited to say “We do!”. I would never want anyone but her to marry us.
I love Wendy!! She made our wedding day and leading up to it so peaceful. I highly recommend.
Windi is the epitome of both professionalism and kindness! Our wedding ceremony was beautifully written and you can feel the care that she put into it. She was by our side throughout the whole planning process and offered her support with all aspects of the wedding. She guides you through the whole process of filing paperwork and takes the stress off of the couple.
Windi brought a fun, free-spirited vibe to our rehearsal that helped to calm our nerves for the following day. She made sure we were prepared and ready to go! On the day of, she helped me (the bride) gather myself with a mediation before the ceremony.
Windi, your kindness for honoring my father on the day of my wedding will never be forgotten and your words are something I will carry with me forever. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Windi has been a dream to work with and we are so grateful that she was the one to marry us! We love the ring blessing ceremony and all the creative ideas she shared with us for writing our vows. The words were so meaningful and beautiful. Windi is so professional, calm, warm, and friendly. She exceeded our expectations!
Windi was incredible in every single way. We eloped at home with our kids/step-kids who were both difficult in their own unique way. Windi connected with both kiddos on their level and brought them along so that they enjoyed the ceremony as much as we did. To top it off, she pulled together a ceremony with almost no time at all (we contacted her less than a month before we planned to wed) and was highly organized, supportive, friendly and genuine. I am deeply grateful for Windi's professionalism and grace- she made our day special and a memory we will cherish forever.
Windi is the type of person you can’t help but be happy around. She exudes excitement and you can tell how much she genuinely loves what she does. She was all too easy to work with, helping us personalize our ceremony more easily than we ever thought possible and she was a HUGE part in helping us stay organized. We are more than satisfied with our choice to have Windi a part of our big day.
Windi Noble was fantastic!! She was very professional and organized. She guided us through every step of the process and kept us informed constantly. More importantly, Windi was warm and sincerely happy for us!
Windi is AMAZING. Highly, HIGHLY recommend!!!! She’s one of those people you meet & just know you were meant to cross paths... I was searching high & low online for unique unity ceremonies involving crystals & I landed on a blog she had written about uncommon unity rituals! Most pages I found prior were simply ideas & not quite what I was looking for. It was almost too good to be true when I realized she was a professional wedding officiant. Although we weren’t looking for someone to officiate our wedding, I knew I needed to inquire if she was willing to help us (from afar) create the unity ceremony I was hoping for. We were having a destination wedding in Mexico & our good friend was to be our officiant. After connecting with her, we had a consultation call & she even offered to write us a full ceremony script, including the unity ritual with crystals. I hadn’t even thought of having someone write our entire script & I’m SO thankful she offered her services to us because I couldn’t have imagined it any other way. Windi truly was a pleasure to work with & incredibly helpful. She loves what she does & it shows. Even virtually, she got to know my husband & I and crafted the most beautiful ceremony script. I’m telling you- it was perfect. The length, the verbiage, everything. She helped us write our vows, let us revise the script as we wished, gave endless tips, & even set up a call to coach our friend who’d be officiating to make sure everything would go as smoothly as possible for us. We could not have asked for anyone better to write our ceremony script & provide us with such thoughtful & insightful guidance. Windi, your support was beyond appreciated- Danny & I thank you from the bottom of our hearts! xoxo
Windi was amazing as our officiant. She kept us light and relaxed and was great in keeping things going. Her ceremony writing is second to none and what she put together was so amazing. She was great at touching base and always asking if there was anything she could do to help. I highly recommend using Run to an Elopement. Windi is amazing and super cool. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Windi was amazing. She listened to what was important to us, and created a hand fasting ceremony that fit our needs perfectly!
We worked with Windi from Run to an Elopement and she was great! From planning to ceremony, she helped us plan the perfect elopement and was always available and responsive to questions and concerns. Windi's written ceremony for us was beautiful, touching, and meaningful. We highly recommend her to others looking for an officiant; you'll get so much more!
Windi was great to work with! We had a short timeline—only one week—to plan our wedding due to an upcoming deployment. Windi was prompt in her communications and very flexible. I appreciated her willingness to virtually meet beforehand to get to know us as best as she could before drafting a personalized ceremony. At our wedding, she was so kind and professional. She thinks of the little things: offering mints and tissues to us and our guests before the ceremony. She even helped us move some furniture to prepare the space for the wedding. When I was saying my vows, she saw me tearing up and swiftly placed a tissue in my hands without detracting from the vows at all. Above all, she was so positive and yet professional throughout the entire experience. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!
Windi was wonderful! Very helpful leading up to the day.
Amy was nothing short of wonderful. We are not from Ohio and as a mixed race couple we wanted to feel welcomed and like our officiant cared. When looking at local officiants their website immediately made us feel comfortable. They offered a free consultation and Amy gave me such good vibes during the consultation and we immediately decided to go with them. We couldn’t be happier with how it went or how dedicated they were to making our day special. The ceremony was perfect. Thanks again Amy!
Run to An Elopement was a PERFECT addition to our wedding day! Windi was our officiant, and she wrote the most BEAUTIFUL and thoughtful wedding ceremony for us. The first time we spoke was over the phone, where she told us all about her process and asked us a ton of questions about our love story & how we met. She then integrated into the ceremony, as well as what's most important to us going into our married life together. We recieved so many comments about how wonderful the ceremony was--there was laughter, tears, and most importantly joy that really came through thanks to Windi. She was very flexible when we ended up moving our wedding due to COVID, and even met with us for coffee a month before our wedding to get to know each other even better! During our rehearsal, she did a great job organizing our wedding party and families (which we know is like herding cats) and made sure everyone was comfortable for the big day. Windi is patient, kind, transparent, and we were so lucky to have her there with us. Run to An Elopement will always have a special place in our heart. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Run To An Elopement made our ceremony perfect from start to finish! Amy was able to connect with us and understand who we are as a couple and what we envisioned for a special day in less than a week's notice! She takes the time to really understand who you are and expresses that perfectly through the ceremony she creates just for you!
Windi helped make our wedding day perfect despite the challenges with the pandemic. When we first reached out to Windi, she spent over an hour getting to know us and asking questions about what type of ceremony we wanted to have. She took our information and translated it into a wedding ceremony that was very personal and enjoyable.
She kept everything on track during our wedding planning process ensuring the ceremony was exactly how we envisioned. Windi was very helpful organizing and leading our rehearsal the night before our ceremony confirming everyone was prepared. The day of the wedding she helped relieve some wedding day stress by meeting with both sides of our wedding party for a meditation moment and making sure we had everything we needed. Windi lead the ceremony flawlessly and included a few personal moments that received some laughter and praise from our guests.
The greatest attribute of having Windi officiate our wedding was her ability to keep things light and fun without letting anything get out of control. I would recommend Windi to anyone looking for an awesome officiant who loves to bring people together. We are now the Wolfes and we give Windi a big HOWL as a thank you for such an amazing job!
We had no idea of what we were looking for or what we wanted when we first spoke to Windi but she held our hand through the whole process of planning our day. Fast forward a few months... it couldn't have been a more perfect day for my bride and I.
Windi's personality is larger than life and she couldn't have put more care and energy into giving us the perfect ceremony. If memorable and personalized are words you're using to describe your future ceremony, I definitely recommend Run To An Elopement.
Windi was amazing and worked so well with everyone in my wedding party. She did a warm up exercise to get to know everyone and it really helped the kids loosen up a bit. She stayed in contact and performed our ceremony exactly the way we wanted. I would recommend Run to an Elopement for any type of wedding.
Me and my husband had THE best ceremony. We’re very thankful for Amy because she listened to us and made everything we wanted/needed come true. She was very professional and punctual each time we reached out to her and I would most definitely recommend her to any of my friends and family.
Amy was the absolute best at helping make our elopement special! We decided last minute to elope and she worked with us even though there was barely a month of planning. She took the time to get to know us, connect, and guide us through the marriage process. We wanted to have a simple and quick ceremony, and she made sure to make it meaningful and filled with love!
Run to an Elopement was recommended to us by our photographer and we couldn’t be more pleased! Amy made the ceremony truly unique to us and took the time to create a meaningful and memorable experience. Not only was she professional and thorough, but also made us feel like we were being married by a friend.
Windi was a fantastic maestro of our ceremony. It was an unorthodox ceremony vision (layout and format), but she executed it in a way that made it seem like she'd been conducting Quaker-like Civil ceremonies with Community Call & Response for years. We wanted everyone to feel included, and she succeeded in creating an environment that was full of love and focus (because you definitely need to get people to focus during rehearsals!) We have blended families and Windi is a master of managing personalities. Skylar and I felt really comfortable with her and had a lot of fun every time we interacted. We are truly so honored she worked with us on our special day.
We are truly grateful that Amy was our officiant. She was excellent at navigating us through deciding what we wanted for the ceremony and delivered a truly beautiful service that reflected our beliefs. She truly went above and beyond to help us. Thank you so much for being with us on our special day!
From the very beginnings of our wedding planning to day of, Windi was extremely helpful, insightful, and responsive! She took the time to get to know us and she wrote a beautiful and thoughtful ceremony for our day. She gave us tips and advice leading up to the big day, and her meditative moment totally helped ground me and ease my nerves. Windi truly goes above and beyond for her couples, she puts her heart and soul into the ceremonies she writes, she touched base with everyone involved before the ceremony, even multi tasked during our ceremony to disperse the toast glasses! What a bad ass and incredible person! We can’t say enough good things! Thank you Run to an Elopement!
Amy did our service and was simply amazing. She helped us through all the craziness with having to reschedule our wedding multiple times due to COVID. In the end we decided just to elope and we couldn't be happier. Both Amy and Windi were super supportive in the planning process and helped us brainstorm new ceremony location spots. Amy spoke with us several times and created the most thoughtful and intimate ceremony. She worked with us through multiple edits and guided us with writing our vows while still keeping our individuality. She added so many thoughtful details to the ceremony from ring blessing to meditation. Our day was perfect and Amy was the absolute perfect officiant for us. I highly recommend her!
Windi and Amy were able to quickly help us out when we had to change our wedding plans due to COVID. It was wonderful working with them, and they asked great questions to get the ball rolling on what we wanted our ceremony to be. They got us to really think hard about what we wanted and why. They took great care to make sure it was exactly what we wanted and did a great job of making it very personal and special for us as we had our wedding at our home with just our closest family members. We would definitely recommend Windi or Amy to anyone looking for a very professional, organized, caring, and personal officiant :)
