My wife and I feel extremely fortunate to have had Stephen as our officiant!
From the first phone call, it was clear that Stephen would be a warm and reassuring voice of experience in the wedding planning process. We were unsure of how to stru...cture our ceremony, but Stephen provided an eclectic trove of quotes, readings and vows to help us tailor it to our liking. He was always prompt to answer my emails and open-minded yet honest when it came to fielding some of our more unconventional ideas (like having the ceremony after the dinner, which didn't happen).
At the wedding, Stephen was a professional and calming presence at a time when many people were curious to know how nervous we were. Thanks to the excellent advice he'd given us at the rehearsal, the ceremony went off beautifully, in fact went so well that afterward several couples said they wished someone like him could have officiated THEIR weddings, which seems the highest unsolicited praise a married couple can offer.
Thank you again, Stephen, for all of your kindness and support, and if we had to get married again next weekend we'd hope you could marry us again (if you weren't already busy).
