Not enough praises for Norman’s mentorship program! I truly enjoyed my 8 weeks, identified areas for improvements and have an actionable plan. Each week, I felt super comfortable, supported, and heard. Norman gave great suggestions I hadn’t considered and kept me accountable to my goals all while pouring into me and laughing with me. Great experience! Proud of you

I had the pleasure of attending Serne & Malik’s wedding, where Norman Graham was the officiant. He delivered a truly memorable and touching ceremony. The way Mr. Graham spoke, it was clear that he had a deep understanding of the couple's journey and crafted the ceremony to reflect their unconditional love for one another. He also engaged the audience by including a real time selfie making it a standout part of the celebration. It was a ceremony that truly felt personal and special. I highly recommend WedByNorm to anyone looking for an officiant who brings warmth, energy, humor, and sincerity to their wedding day.

Norman from Wed by Norman was an outstanding officiant. He conducted an excellent rehearsal and arrived on time for the ceremony. Going above and beyond, he even brought Liquid IVs for the wedding party to prevent hangovers. His exceptional service makes him the best officiant I’ve worked with as a wedding coordinator. I highly recommend him!

Thank goodness for Norman! We dropped our previous wedding officiant (barely a month before our wedding) and were panicking if we would be able to find a replacement who incorporated what we wanted for our ceremony. My amazing cousin referred Norman and he was able to make a last min appt with me (the next day!). It was kismet because myself and my partner instantly knew Norman understood what we wanted for our ceremony and presented beautifully. So much so that I was adamant that he stayed for the rest of the ceremony and party with us. 😂 I am referring him to any one who’s planning on eloping/getting married. He will also be there for our vow renewal. 🤎

Norman was such an awesome officiant at my friend’s wedding ceremony. He managed to capture their love with the kindest words, as if he had known them for years! Outdoor summer weddings can be brutally hot, but he remained professional and made the crowd laugh quite a few times. You will not regret booking him for your wedding!

Norman officiated our Ten Year Vow Renewal, and he is very professional, courteous, and very organized. Norman traveled from New Jersey to Colorado, to officiate and celebrate with us, and exceeded our expectations. He was so prompt in responding to our emails, questions, and gave us some great feedback while planning our ceremony. We received SO many comments on how beautiful our ceremony was, the words were meaningful, and sincere. Thank you, Norman!

I recently attended a lovely, 10 year vow renewal, facilitated by Norman. This ceremony included traditional, cultural aspects of the couple, which Norman tastefully embraced. In his delivery of the service, you could tell he took time to understand the couple’s story and dynamics, in advance of the ceremony. If you’re looking for a wedding officiant or one to facilitate a vow renewal, I’d highly recommend Norman.

Norman had a personality and aura that is calming, fun, humorous, and personable and his passion in presiding over the couple’s union transcends well through his ceremony script. His humor was refreshing and appropriate in setting a calming, but fun tone for the couple who naturally were a bit nervous. As an attendee of the wedding, and friend of the bride, It was truly a joyful experience having Norman as the wedding officiant and I already told him, when it’s my turn to walk down the aisle, HE’S MY GUY!! 10/10 would recommend!

I was a maid of honor at a wedding Norman officiated in Mexico, his first international wedding. Norman engaged with the bride and groom throughout the entire trip, and watching him during the ceremony was amazing. He was professional, caring, and patient during the ceremony while also keeping the guests engaged and providing an easy atmosphere. My boyfriend has hired him for our wedding before he's even proposed lol. Norman is a pleasure to work with and I would recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing wedding experience.

Norm was amazing to work with. He made sure he took our experiences we shared with him and made our ceremony so much more special and personal. At the last minute my husband and I decided to surprise our families with the news that we're expecting and without hesitation he was able to incorporate it into our ceremony script. He flew to Cancun to officiate our ceremony and was able to politely tell the onsite officiant the resort offered that he was already taking care of matters. Norm was pleasant and organized. He made sure to make himself available to us. In the days leading up to the wedding he took time to spend with us and our families. Norm was amazing.. we are glad we had the opportunity to work with him.

Norman was a great person to consult with when planning our wedding. He was able to help execute our wedding during the planning stages, and day of. He was able to provide excellent guidance, inspiration, and care. He showed his dedication to our special day, and assisted us with attending wedding expos, viewing venues along with helping secure our wedding venue, photographer, videographer, major wedding logistics, and final touches. He recognized the challenges we faced due to COVID19 and helped us pivot our plans when necessary.
