Thank you Megan for your wonderful review! It was such a pleasure creating your ceremony script and officiating your beautiful wedding. I wish you and Michael the happiest of times as you two build your lives together.
Hands down the best officiant there is. He works so well with you, to get to know each couple and find the right ceremony for them. No two wedding are the same. Every wedding is customizable, our the groom and the wedding party walked into with...
the sounds of the Imperial march and we also did a tree planting ceremony at the end. He lets the ceremony be about the couple and who each couple is. He will listen and anything that needs to be changed, he find the best way to change it and make it work.
Walter, is also amazing because we had an out of town wedding, so he was out at the venue site the night before (for the rehearsal), and he didn’t even bat an eye to help pitch in afterwards, as he saw that we hadn’t fully finished setting up.
Walter, is a wonderful, funny, wholesome, helpful officiant.
