Utah Wedding Minister Rev. Anita Gordon

h a contract. I either show up, or I don't, and I've never not shown up." I liked her and I believed her so I didn't write our own. Well wouldn't you know, LESS THAN 2 WEEKS before my wedding Anita emails me backing out and providing a vague explanation that something came up, but "don't worry" her funny husband is available to officiate our wedding. I don't want a funny person doing my ceremony, especially someone that doesn't know us or our guests. That humor generally doesn't go over well. Anyways, Anita DID REFUND our deposit which I appreciate. The final blow for me was seeing on Instagram that she officiated A DIFFERENT WEDDING ON THE DAY SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO OFFICIATE MINE. I guess she liked the other bride better or was offered more money. I will add that when I booked Anita she did send a really awesome ceremony worksheet. We were able to easily build piece-by-piece our ceremony to read exactly the way we wanted it. I absolutely loved this and we gave what we wrote to the new officiant and we got a ton of compliments on it. All that being said - GET A CONTRACT :)

ng event. She made it so easy to compose a ceremony that felt personal to us and reflected our relationship. All of our guests gushed about how incredible she was and how absolutely beautiful and unique the ceremony was. The ceremony turned out to be my absolute favorite part about our entire wedding day. I just wish we had filmed it!

s we wanted it. Additionally, her natural humor made the ceremony that much more enjoyable and special.

recommend her!

utely adored her. She was super easy to work with. I only plan on getting married once, but I would recommend her without a moments hesitation. In one word, Rev. Anita was flawless!!

were still looking for. You can tell that she knows what she is doing and will help make the event smooth and easy. She was quick to get back to us when we had questions. We met with her to go over the different wedding styles she has to offer and we were able to mix and match to find the right one for us. You will definitely have a unique wedding ceremony because she has so many options. During our ceremony it started to rain and she helped direct everyone to take cover until the rain passed and then we went back out and continued. I would highly recommend Anita to be your officiant for your wedding. You won't regret it.

me time! I highly recommend Anita for your wedding day!

ig day. Needing something affordable was a large priority, she even took the time to meet us personally to explain here process and let us do our thing with reminders closer to our big day. Thank you again Anita, our day was beautiful and our ceremony was everything I thought it would be and more!

ng the ceremony really fit your personal needs. She's also just an awesome person and I felt like I had a friend marrying me instead of a stranger. We love Anita!

d elopement) without her. From our first conversation about booking and planning, to our last about the ceremony itself, I relished her warmth and calm disposition. She is the type of person that makes you sit back and think about what a good person she is (even after just talking on the phone!). Rev. Anita helped us create a ceremony that was truly unique and our own. She was so open to input and feedback and wrote in the things we really wanted (including a prayer from each of our families and two passages we really liked). She never pressured me or hurried me along. Rev. Anita drove 4 hours to officiate and my husband and I had planned on a time to meet for our ceremony. We got lost (of course) and ended up on a 2 hour detour. Anita remained so calm and composed and helped me relax when we finally made it to our location. What kind of person does that?! She had literally just driven a zillion miles and even after I delayed her trip home, she kept loving on me and making me feel wonderful. She is such a special person and will really make an imprint on your heart. Trust me when I say that her services are worth every single penny, and so much more. Rev. Anita- we love you and are so thankful to have met you. You are truly an wonderful, warm spirit and helped make our day so much more than we ever dreamed!

t Craig was. Upon meeting Craig we were immediately put at ease. He was funny, personal and great to talk with. With my husband and I coming from different religious beliefs we were concerned that we would have something that didn't reflect both of our views and beliefs. Craig was able to help us build and create the perfect ceremony for our big day. It was personal and touching. Between Anita and Craig you can't go wrong, they are a winning team.

the meeting she provided us with different versions of the readings (religious or non-religious), and even divided it up for each section, so you can literally a la carte your own readings if you would like. On the wedding day she made sure everything went well. We felt she always has our back. Thank you Anita!

st met. There is something about her that makes you know and feel, she is a very special person. She is incredibly personable yet a complete professional and an expert at her art. We are beyond elated with the entire experience from beginning to end with Rev. Anita as our wedding officiant. She writes amazingly beautiful ceremonies and picked out certain things when we met with her and told her our story that made the ceremony totally personal to us and our families. She also understood our love for our pup and our want to have him every bit part of the ceremony that we were and she made that happen! We wanted a non-religious ceremony focused around friendship and she absolutely delivered exactly what we wanted...but even better than we could have imagined. She also made sure we knew she was there for us during the whole process, including wedding day which was so comforting. She even jumped in and helped pin boutonnieres on everyone and made sure the timeline stayed on-track as much as possible! Throughout the ceremony, she discreetly made sure to give my husband and I queues to remember what we should be doing since everything we discussed before the ceremony just went blank in the moment and she also was able to read the audience and do some impromptu things that made it very personable and were so funny, fitting to what was going on and whitty! We just cannot thank and give Rev. Anita enough kudos for the beautiful and fantastic job she did. She is absolutely amazing and we would not change a single thing. We would recommend Rev. Anita to everyone! She makes us want to get married over and over again which, if/when we renew our vows...we know EXACTLY who we are going to ask! She is an absolutely wonderful officiant, a genuinely kind human being and we are so lucky to have been able to meet her.

touching sentiment to the ceremony. She was a breeze to work with as well. I'm very type A and organized and I fully trusted Anita to be on top of everything so I could relax the day of the wedding. She is simply the best.

, I was sold. But her help, demeanor, and advice along the way put her above and beyond anyone else! The Clerk's office screwed up our documents, and she even fixed that for us! She calmed my groom and dad down a bit before the ceremony. Love everything about Anita!

ceremony options. She was very easy to work with, allowing us to pick a pre-made ceremony or pick and choose parts to make ours special (which is what we did). She even caught the Clerk's Office issue on our wedding certificate and fixed it without needing anything from us. Thanks, Anita!

times, and then the wedding day. She has several options prepared for you in a folder, and you can mix and match items from ceremonies if you don't feel like they fit you. Our nonreligious ceremony went beautifully, and we got a lot of compliments from family and friends about how beautiful the ceremony was.
