I first wanted to say thank you so much for making our wedding ceremony perfect. We got many compliments on it and are so thankful to you for making it perfect and smooth. You played a huge role in it and set the mood we were looking for. Especially the way you included our kids and made them feel comfortable and a part of the big day! The unity tree was an absolutely brilliant idea! We will keep them forever. Your personality and ability to commect are amazing. Thank you so much, Steph!
Stephanie creates truly magical ceremonies that leaves everyone in awe! My husband and I were looking for something unique, memorable, fun, and representative of us as a couple. From the moment we talked on the phone I was certain Stephanie was exactly what we were looking for! She is so sweet and is one of those rare souls you feel instantly comfortable with, as if you've known them forever. She really got to know us as a couple and threw out the most amazing ideas to incorporate into the ceremony. It completely embodied who we are and she even found a creative way to include our young children (it meant so much to us and our kids). Stephanie had our guests completely engaged the whole ceremony, everyone laughed, cried, and was totally in the moment. The rest of the evening, and even weeks later, we had guests and even vendors coming up to us and were raving about Stephanie and how amazing the ceremony was! I cannot express how grateful we are for everything she did for us!
Stephanie was awesome and we couldn't have asked for a better celebrant! She helped us prepare from beginning to end. She was more than helpful during our rehearsal and helped us stay calm on our wedding day. She performed a handfasting ritual to "tie the knot" at the end of our ceremony. It was perfect. All of our friends & family loved the ceremony. I highly recommend Stephanie for your wedding day!
Stephanie is wonderful to work with. Even when we got news that caused us to marry legally prior to our large event in October, Stephanie was there to guide us. She created a small, quick (emotional) ceremony in May, that was perfect and a beautiful ceremony in October. She allowed us to be a part of every portion of the process and including some unique parts to our ceremony, paying homage to our heritages. She wrote a ceremony that captured our love for each other and our personalities perfectly. Our Celtic Hand-fasting and Stefana crown portions of our ceremony were marvelous. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone getting married and anyone desiring a non-denominational ceremony.
Stephanie is a magical goddess! Finding the right officiant is so important and right from the first phone call we knew we wanted Stephanie to be our celebrant! She has the kindest soul and truly loves love! She told our love story so perfectly that multiple friends and family members asked us after the ceremony if she was a longtime friend of ours! She had our guests laughing, crying, and engaged the entire ceremony. There were so many different parts to our wedding ceremony; my sister did a Bob Marley reading, we jumped over a branch, and our favorite part was we did the wedding tree ritual! Me and my husband picked out a baby tree to bring to our ceremony and Stephanie talked about how trees are like marriage; putting down roots, surviving storms, and growing together. We planted our wedding tree in our backyard after and it will forever remind us of our perfect day! All of our guests were raving about how unique and awesome the ceremony was. We are forever grateful!!
I'm not sure this review with be able to convey just how awesome Stephanie is! We contacted her just two weeks before we were set to get married back in August. We had previously had another officiant, however, ideals were not aligning and we felt it was best to part with the idea of that particular person marrying us. We set out with literally 14 days to find someone new, get to know them, and have them show up on the big day! It was a lot to manage!
Well, in comes Stephanie to the rescue! :-)
It was so daunting to Google potential celebrants so close to our wedding day - my (now) husband and I were in official freak-out mode! However, Stephanie responded to my email request within an hour and asked for a meeting to get to know us. I cannot tell you how relieved it made us both feel to hear back from her so soon and for her to tell us it would be okay and that she had our date open and was more than happy to accommodate us on such a short timeline! I literally cried tears of joy reading her email!
As soon as we spoke, I knew immediately that it was meant to be and that she was the one who needed to marry us. As others have mentioned, it was like speaking to an old friend. She is super warm and really a great conversationalist (easy to open up to). In addition, she had some really amazing ideas on what she recommended we incorporate into the ceremony to make it really special to us. She completely understood our situation with the other officiant and was helping us feel okay with the situation so that we would feel happy and comfortable on our big day with her.
We simply adore her and truly I wish I would have met her sooner and gotten to spend more time with her during the planning process just because I enjoyed her service so much - however, with the time she had to come up with our wedding plan and vows, it went off beautifully and we couldn't be happier with our ceremony.
Thank you so much, Stephanie! We love you!
Stephanie is lovely! She personalized and provided a beautiful service for us!
My husband and I LOVED having Stephanie officiate our wedding. She was extremely responsive and wrote the most beautiful ceremony for us! Stephanie takes time to get to know you as a couple and works it into all of her ceremonies to make a one of a kind ceremony. The ceremony that she wrote for us was very thorough yet simplistic and included everything we wanted to say. Neither my husband nor I wanted to have the "traditional I do's" and Stephanie was able to take all of our random ideas and put her own flare into it to make it everything we wanted and more. So glad Stephanie was able to officiate and celebrate with us on our wedding day!
Stephanie was great! She worked with us to make a custom ceremony that worked for us and was flexible when we had to change up a few things when my father was unable to attend the day of. She is super sweet and easy to work with and she filed our paperwork right away so we had our official license when we got back from our honeymoon! Highly recommend her!
Stephanie is amazing! My husband decided he wanted to join the Air Force before our wedding day and we wanted to be married before he left for training, so Stephanie performed a sweet and personal civil union ceremony for us at her studio. We only wanted something small and simple because we are still having our wedding next year. And she knocked it out of the park, it was perfect! And now we are even more excited for her to officiate our wedding ceremony next year in front of all of our family and friends!
We searched far and wide for our officiant and boy are we glad we found Stephanie! We went a little outside of our "area" for where we were getting married and are so happy we found Stephanie. From the moment we met with her up in Hershey, PA to the final moments when we signed our certificate she was so incredible to work with. She took over an hour to listen to my fiancé and I talk about us, our lives, and what we wanted in a ceremony and wrote a custom one specific for us. Stephanie was also helpful in making sure we got our marriage license (important!) and creating a ceremony both us and the guests would remember. She has monthly check ins with her couples too! She was such a positive light and the perfect person to officiate our wedding, I couldn't imagine hiring anyone else.
Stephanie is absolutely amazing and the sweetest! She worked with us on making our ceremony ours. She made it emotional and vibrant! she helped with our vows by sending us ideas. She isn’t pushy on having your ceremony a certain way or strict on any religions as we are not as religious and didn’t want our ceremony to focus on that rather then us and our commitment. she even worked with me on a special handfasting even when i decided on having 6 people involved in the chaos. :) she made it all flow smoothly and made sure we were on all the same page. She was easy to get ahold of and was very easy to talk to and vent to. We loved her organization and monthly check ins. She always made us feel like number 1 never on the back burner. She also asked how I’d like her to dress for the wedding which was actually really nice considering I hadn’t even thought of that and she looked absolutely stunning :) you really couldn’t ask for a better officiant
Stephanie was amazing to work with! She has a very happy and bubbly personality and was genuinely excited about our special day. She is all about making the ceremony customized exactly how you want it, including sharing your love story if you want. I could not have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend her!
Stephanie was the absolute perfect fit for our wedding. As an inter-faith couple, we wanted to make sure that we respected and honored the traditions and beliefs of all of our guests. Stephanie wrote a beautiful non-denominational ceremony that we were very comfortable with and that was deeply personal to us as a couple. Her individualized approach and attention to all the details that make us who we are as a couple made all the difference. She was a calming force for me during the wedding planning process, and her energy is just so comforting and joyful. After our ceremony, several different guests told me ours was the most unique, memorable and beautiful wedding they had ever attended. That meant so much to me, and I have Stephanie to thank for that.
Stephanie did an amazing job with our ceremony! She was extremely helpful throughout the entire process of customizing our ceremony to exactly what we wanted. She was always available for a quick phone call to talk through what needed to be or if we just had any questions. I would HIGHLY recommend her!!
Thanks again for everything Stephanie!!!!
Stephanie was absolutely wonderful for our wedding! We were looking for a short, sweet service that captured the two of us but didn't bore our guests. She delivered! We were pleased with her service and did our best with her questionnaire and she created a wonderful ceremony. I loved that she was kind enough to mention my father, who had long since passed away, in our ceremony. My grandmother said it was the most touching way to incorporate his loss and many guests appreciated the moment of silence we held for him. She submitted our marriage license as well, which was one less thing for us to worry about after the wedding.
STOP LOOKING NOW AND CONNECT WITH STEPHANIE!! She was amazing! Everyone at our wedding said it was the best ceremony they have ever been too! She takes time to get to know he couple and makes the ceremony so personal. On top of her officiant duties she kept the bride calm, confident, and excited about everything. Highly recommend ❤️
AMAZING!!! I honestly can't say enough great things about Stephanie. She was exactly what we were looking for and then some. She came up with the most beautiful ceremony that really captured our story and had some really unique elements, just like us! We had so many compliments on how much our guests enjoyed it too! She was also so accommodating. We only needed a couple small changes from the original draft she sent us and she was able to get them done even though my (now husband) waited until the last second to get her the information she needed. Stephanie is also incredible because she keeps in touch every month which almost no wedding vendor ever does! I never had to worry about anything with her! She was our very own fairy godmother for the day that made sure everything was perfect. We're so glad we had the privilege of working with her! Fabulous officiant and person :-)
Stephanie was wonderful in every sense of the word. She wrote us an absolutely beautiful ceremony and helped us plan our unity cocktail idea. Our wedding story was amazing and everything we wanted and more!
Stephanie is one of the more beautiful souls I have ever met. She loves love and is excited to write your love story ceremony. As soon as I met her I knew I wanted her to be our officiant. She's down to earth and truly cares. Her custom touches like monthly check in calls/emails puts her far above other officiants I have interviewed. Reasonably priced too! You will not be disappointed in your ceremony if you book Stephanie!
