Spellbound Ceremonies

Montana was very efficient in helping us organize and plan our ceremony. We roughly had 3 weeks to complete everything (a very short deadline) and she was fantastic in helping with the process. Also, something important for us, Montana was incredibly knowledgeable about numerous religious and non religious practices for the wedding. We had a beautiful handfasting done and overall could not have been more happy with the process. She made it a breeze!

Montana was wonderful. my husband and I could not have been happier with the ceremony she put together for us. she really took the time to listen to us and get to know us. We loved meeting her and have made a connection with her and she's a wonderful friend.

The officiant did a commendable job organizing a group of hopelessly lost souls into a thoroughly efficient wedding party. Given the short amount time available to complete the task, that's pretty darned good.

Montana exceeded all of our expectations!!! From our very first meeting with her we could tell she took her responsibility as a celebrant very seriously. She went very in depth with her questions about us as a couple so she could create the perfect ceremony. She has such a warm and kind personality that it was very easy to open up to her about ourselves. She basically gave us a list of questions to answer about us - how we met, what we love about each other, questions about our families and also what we wanted out of our ceremony. She knows her stuff because she asked us questions that we would not have even thought about but that really came in handy when it came to planning our ceremony. She even made a point to ask if she should stand off to the side during the wedding so the photos would just show the two of us. So thoughtful and definitely not something I would have thought of!! She sent us a first draft of what the ceremony would be and she would let us look everything over, make edits and return it to her - we would do this about four or five times until we all agreed that it was perfect. Everything went very smoothly with writing the ceremony and she always responded very quickly if we sent her an email about little details we wanted to add. She made everything so easy!!! She went above and beyond and answered every single question we had about her ideas - she even gave us lists of possible rituals, poems and music to use just to give us some ideas. We loved that she was able to give us a draft to work with, but made sure that everything was tailored to us as a couple. The ceremony wasn’t cookie cutter and really felt like someone who had known us for years had written it. We loved our wedding and having her perform the ceremony was definitely one of the best choices we made for our wedding. Everyone who attended our wedding said it was a beautiful ceremony. It was filled with our love story, funny moments we’ve had, and what we love about each other as well as the more traditional aspects you would see in a wedding. It was such a joy to work with her and we would definitely contact her again for her services because we know she would do an incredible job in any situation. Thank you again Montana!!!!

Montant was amazing! She helped us through every step of the planning process for our perfect ceremony. Personally, the ceremony and the vows were the part of our wedding I was most nervous about - but she helped us to stay focused and on-track for all of the planning part. Also, her many years of experience brought advice in many areas that were not even related to the ceremony necessarily, but proved invaluable!! It wasn't just the words that she helped us write, but the overall order of events and also the choreography for each person's placement during the ceremony. Honestly, we would have been lost without her help! She also worked will with our families and all of the different personalities and opinions throughout the process. We got many many compliments after the wedding that it was the best ceremony many of the guests had ever witnessed. She also helped my husband with a special surprise that I didn't know about until during ceremony. Wow I wish I could go back and relive it all! :) Thanks Montana - I would recommend you over and over!

Montana created a beautiful and unique ceremony for us - it was simply perfect! She took our ideas and visions for the ceremony and brought them to life. She was able to share our love story from how we met, to the proposal, to our hopes and promises to one another with our guests - truly a touching and personal ceremony!

Montana is very professional and is perfect for those looking for a non-traditional, but amazing ceremony. Montana was able to craft a ceremony that fit our expectations to a tee. We had many, many guests say it was the best ceremony they've ever attended.

WE LOVED MONTANA. I met her at a bridal event in Elkhart :) I walked up to look at her table, and from the conversation there, I was so excited. Every other vendor was pushy and in your face, but she was like a nice quiet, happy retreat to rest. At first we were nervous because we had the option to spend next to nothing to get someone to marry us. But when we sat down with her, she just felt like family to me (my husband would never say that). I honestly would have loved to spend a day with her. I cannot say enough positive words about her. It made me feel that more people should be like this woman. There was never an ounce of judgement, or unprofessionalism. As a bride, finding the right people, decorations, venue, dress, etc is stressful! Not only did Montana help us write our vows, she wrote the best, funniest, heartfelt ceremony we could have asked for. My father in law said "I've never seen a ceremony done that way, it was really refreshing." And it was! We chose not to do any type of grace, prayers, unity ceremony, etc. We just didn't want to pretend to be people we weren't . The ceremony was still so warm, and looking back and thinking about why, and how that was... it was Tom and I. That was OUR love story, and it was all real and fun. She was SO supportive in every aspect. My dad and the rest of my family don't get along well, and he's not easy to deal with. But she shared stories of her personal life with me that made me feel that I was not alone. She asked questions that made us THINK about each other. And for us (after 8 years), it was nice to remind ourselves and each other that we love so deeply that sometimes we take things for granted. I HIGHLY recommend Montana for your wedding day, if you are looking for a sweet, favorite-aunt, warm person to guide you through your ceremony. She was also more than happy to help with other vendors, or give advice! THANK YOU SO MUCH MONTANA!!!

Such a beautiful and personal service put together by Montana for my son's wedding. The ceremony she created using indepth interviews with my son and his fiancee (now wife) was filled with moving moments and laughter, so much symbolism. I was so impressed. I can't imagine that the ceremony could have been any more perfect than it was!

Montana created a completely personal ceremony for our wedding! She got to know us and talked with us about what we wanted in a wedding ceremony, and then she used her vast knowledge of wedding ceremony options to create a beautiful ceremony that was exactly what we wanted. Everyone at our wedding loved her and said that we had the best ceremony they'd ever attended. Additionally, she was a wonderful friend and support throughout the wedding planning process. You will not be sorry if you choose Montana as your officiant.

Montana's understanding and dedication told our story about our special journey, as she learned what was important to us. I could tell by her questions that Montana did her homework and she followed up to make sure she understood she was truly expressing our desires. We appreciated the suggestions Montana offered once she came to know us, along with her experience combining our different wishes. Montana certainly made our ceremony very special!
