Weddings By Bonnie

o go and she gave wonderful suggestions. The ceremony went so smoothly we couldn't have asked for a better experience. After the wedding, Bonnie checked in and answered any questions we had with the marriage license. We are so happy we had Bonnie every step of the way!

our expectations with her level of detail, guidance, and dedication to make the day special. We couldn’t imagine being married by anyone else!

to find Bonnie given the amount of already amazing reviews she had on the Knot. We reached out and from the moment we hung up the phone with Bonnie, we knew she was meant to be our officiant. Aside from the ceremony itself, Bonnie was incredibly thoughtful. We were set to marry on September 30th, 2024, just days after Hurricane Helene. However, from watching the news, we made the hard decision to postpone our wedding to November, which also miraculously was enough time given that Hurricane Milton was following shortly after. No words can describe how insanely positive Bonnie was through the whole process. She was so beyond optimistic that she made it feel like that was what was meant to be, and we truly believe that now. The day was worth waiting for and her ceremony did not disappoint! Her kindness, warmth, and overall genuine passion for celebrating love made our wedding day truly unforgettable. Not only did she take the time to understand our love story through a very well thought out questionnaire, but she also crafted a beautiful ceremony that felt perfectly tailored to us. We felt as if we had known her for years before by the way she had pieced words and stories together. Every word resonated with us so deeply, and her ceremony was just as memorable as the vows we wrote to each other. My husband and I have continually mentioned Bonnie being the best person to fulfill this position and we RAVE about her to everyone and don’t think our elopement would have been as perfect as it was without her.

. After our wedding day, everyone at the ceremony asked us if we knew Bonnie because of her heartfelt message. They also told us that was the best officiating they had ever seen at a wedding. Bonnie made our day even more special than it already was. Hire her, you won’t regret it!

s well before wedding day. She went above and beyond and we are grateful we chose her to marry us. Bonnie was excellent with communication, very organized, kind, and professional. We enjoyed building a relationship with Bonnie and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding officiant.

our wedding day was flawless. Bonnie’s kindness, attention to detail, and professionalism made everything run smoothly. We felt so supported and cared for, and our guests had a wonderful time. If you’re looking for someone who will make your wedding day extra special, Bonnie is the one to choose. Thank you, Bonnie, for making our day so magical!

first time we reached out to her. She made the whole process seemlesly (we are from Australlia) and she have us lots of tips, recommended vendors, and reply to all our questions. We have a zoom conversation with her to go over some questionnaire she has previously sent us, and she put together the whole brief for the ceremony- we were able to choose our wedding vows, poems and she was the warmest and authentic person on the day of our wedding. She was also open to storing our suitcases (the airline lost them for 7 days) at her place while we arrived in Florida . So nice of her!

d was always very quick to answer any questions we had! She was on top of everything, and we had so many compliments on how perfect our ceremony went! I also loved how Bonnie took the time to get to know us through her questioner that was sent to us as we had a destination wedding, so that was extremely helpful! I can’t thank Bonnie enough for everything! I strongly recommend you use her as your wedding officiant, you wont regret it!

she used during ours simply blew us away! Our guests RAVED about how amazing she was. One thing about Bonnie is that she is extremely passionate about what she does. She is one of a kind, and I highly recommend her!

ach ceremony she officiates. We especially loved Bonnie’s super clear and helpful pre ceremony checklists and process, which helped us collaborate on the perfect customized ceremony for us. We loved that she knew exactly the right times to say the right things or move out for a picture, while also bringing so much care and color into our ceremony. Highly recommend working with Bonnie!!

of contact to wedding day, and even beyond wedding day, Bonnie was very responsive, knowledgeable, and delightful to speak with. She walked us through the entire process of preparing for our ceremony, including detailed steps on how to obtain our marriage license, which we greatly appreciated being from out of state. By the custom ceremony Bonnie prepared, you would have thought that she knew us for years and years, she is that talented. We asked for a combination of light hearted and funny, while also being sentimental and meaningful, and we got that and then some! Almost all of the guests in attendance went out of their way to let us know how great our ceremony was. Bonnie also filed our marriage license for us the day after our wedding, which was a huge help and one less thing we had to worry about. We are so incredibly grateful to have worked with Bonnie, our ceremony and working with her will be so fondly remembered by us for all the years to come!

process was excellent, and she took the time to truly understand us. Our ceremony was filled with love and included all the elements we had hoped for. Bonnie felt like family to us on that day, both in spirit and appearance.

o the questions provided.

l of dedication and care. Throughout the entire process, Bonnie went above and beyond to ensure that our ceremony was not just a formality, but a deeply meaningful and personal expression of our love. What sets Bonnie apart is her genuine desire to connect with her couples on a deep level. She took the time to truly get to know us, listening attentively to our story and incorporating personal touches that made our ceremony uniquely ours. Having Bonnie as our officiant was an absolute honor, and we are eternally grateful for the love and care she poured into every aspect of our wedding day. If you're searching for an officiant who will go above and beyond to create a ceremony that is both memorable and deeply meaningful, look no further than Bonnie Sanchez. Thank you so much Bonnie, we will cherish your words forever!

f the most dismissed vendors is a wedding officiant, but they really can make or break the ceremony. With Bonnie, you always know your couple is taken care of and the ceremony will be perfect. She has such a calming, yet energetic, demeanor, which my couple's love! Heck, I love it too. I highly recommend Bonnie to anyone looking to have a wedding officiant on their big day :)

ble for her amazing services). For some background, I looked into hiring an officiant and paid a $75 deposit for their service to essentially save the date. After that was when I things went downhill for me. This person did not want to meet with us but acquiesced after my repeated inquires of "do you need to speak with us or get any information from us for the ceremony". When we did finally speak, the conversation was all of 8 minutes. She didn't ask or care to know one single thing about us and really just asked operational questions about the wedding (will there be music, who is walking me down the aisle, etc). I understand that's important but that was the entirety of the chat. I didn't want to push getting to know us any further. We ended the call and I sat silently (concerned and upset). My partner and I both had a pit in our stomach after the conversation and knew we had to find someone else. In comes BONNIE. My partner somehow found Bonnie and she was just so much different. A breath of fresh air! She cared about getting to know us! She wanted to know our story! She inquired about our backgrounds! She laughed with us. She shared her background. It felt wonderful! We knew within 5 minutes of the call, Bonnie was the woman for the job! Lots of exclamation points in this review but that is just how lovely a person Bonnie is, I need exclamation points everywhere. In addition, she didn't require a deposit before she would speak with us. This was huge after my previous experience. She was gracious with her time on that initial call and even gave some good tips regarding open enrollment things for our jobs to keep in mind. Additionally, she gave us a really well thought out worksheet with some questions. This helps her form her ceremony talking points and is quite fun to do. However, my partner and I did need a bit of reminder to submit it. And again, Bonnie was on top of it with reminder emails. She also was so flexible and willing to chop or amend anything to make us most comfortable and stay true to our vision. She was personable, professional, kind, funny, and just the best person for the job. Remember- Your officiant is going to be presiding over your ceremony (big or small). How much effort or time they put into preceding over your ceremony will show. Dont go for the cheapest option (unless you just want to get it done and in that case might just make sense to consider elopement--which I think is also a great option). We wanted some thoughtfulness behind the person speaking over our union. Mission accomplished. Everyone gushed about Bonnie, almost as much as they gushed about me. Everyone thought we KNEW Bonnie, like for some period of time- she never came across as a generic officiant. Officiants set the tone for your ceremony. You will not regret her as your choice. Lovely lovely person and thoughtful, well executed service. My partner and I couldn't thank her enough!

to create a unique and personal ceremony for us. She guided us when we had questions, and then even on the spot responded to some of our quotes in our vows. We 100% recommend her if you’re looking for a fabulous officiant. On top of it, she sends information on how to obtain your marriage license AND how to change your name. Super thankful we came across Bonnie on Instagram!

s for our ceremony and she researched and helped us achieve our vision. She is a wonderful and skilled officiant with the experience to create an outstanding ceremony. We will always be thankful we found Bonnie and the connection we now share with her.

ade our vows so personal, people asked how long we've known Bonnie, which is a testament to how good she is! She even went the extra mile for our Friday the 13th wedding and wore a Jason mask down the aisle, which we loved! Thank you for making our day so special and personal!

positive, easygoing and attentive Bonnie was. She answered every annoying question I asked 😉! She took away, every big or small concern. We connected right away and I decided that very Moment, that she would be the one, our wedding officiant. Bonnie gathered so many important details about us, our families, and our love for each other that she weaved into her speech. She hit every single point and even I was surprised to remember we told her certain facts! Our friends was amazed by her too and surprised that we just met once before the big day! THAT is how good she is at connecting with her couples and sharing in their joy for an event as special as a wedding renewal! It felt like we had known Bonnie forever. Even a one year delay (because of personal setbacks), couldn’t stop Bonnie to stand by our site and keep the connection! She went above and beyond and gifted us with THE Vow Renewal of our dreams! We could not recommend her enough - you will not be disappointed! Pictures Bamboo Dreams Photography

emplates or shortcuts - she writes personalized scripts from scratch based on YOUR UNIQUE story. She's completely thoughtful of us as a couple but also of our guests. We cannot tell you how many people came up to us after the ceremony to tell us what an amazing officiant Bonnie is and how some have NEVER heard such a great speech during a ceremony. There was not a dry eye at the ceremony. She already has a process in place to ensure you get the best ceremony pictures and how to get your guests engaged. Working with her was a pleasure - she is prompt, responsive, detail oriented, and empathetic (she knows her couples have a lot going on!). We would recommend Bonnie’s services to anyone and everyone getting married. She was perfect!

monies she puts on. I was nervous originally booking an officiant online, however, after talking with Bonnie online and seeing her attention to detail in planning our ceremony, I was sold and was no longer worried. She took the time to truly get to know us and deliver a life-changing ceremony. I will cherish those memories forever. We highly recommend Bonnie!

cause Bonnie made it so! Very detailed, she went over everything and made it easy while we were a little overwhelmed with all the wedding preparations. I knew the ceremony was one thing i didn't have to worry about because Bonnie definitely is the best in Florida! From the questionnaire provided by her, Bonnie created beautiful speech with our love story and good laughs, guests LOVED it! She is super responsive and very efficient. She took care of all documentation for us and followed up with instructions and FAQ's after the wedding. Like I said out of the whole wedding prep process(and I know how stressful it is, I had to organize it myself) one thing I didn't have to worry about was my ceremony because I had Bonnie as my officiant:) If you are looking for an one - look no more! Bonnies is absolutely the best! Thank you Dear Bonnie!!! I will recommend you to everyone I know! Love and hugs from both Valeria and Farris!

ove how she included “our story” and truly tailored it to fit us perfectly. Not only did she help us with obtaining marriage license, but also directed us with my name change afterwards! Bonnie was a blessing and we are so happy she was apart of our special day! Highly recommend.

add in some special readings we requested, along with a handfasting ceremony. It was obvious that Bonnie didn’t simply tweak a pre written script to add some custom words, this was completely written for us. Bonnie listened to our preference on tone of the ceremony as well and hit the perfect level of light hearted but respecting the beauty of the moment. The communication was also so fast when I would send additional information or ask questions. As we got closer to the wedding her communication was a real comfort and helped me feel confident it’d go off without any issues. Bonnie, thank you so much for the care and attention you put into our wedding, anyone that has you as an officiant is lucky.

rocess go smoothly. She did a great job at the ceremony and had a great sense of humor. She gets to know the couples ... it is not just a job. We loved everything about her . As the brides mother, I would highly recommend her!

ew her hahah. Honestly even I felt like I really did know her because she has such a calm and welcoming energy that is perfect for walking down the aisle to get greeted by her warm smile!

she knew us forever! She made our wedding even more magical! I highly recommend her!!

d how we viewed each other and crafted a beautiful wedding ceremony. There was not one dry-eye in the house. We even got my mother-in-law involved in a prayer for the marriage and we had Bonnie do a blessing of the rings. A lot of our guests asked "where did you find her?!" because she did such a fantastic job and really helped guide us through the ceremony. It was absolutely beautiful.

readings and vows, and then she used our responses to create a beautiful story of our relationship leading up to the wedding. It was a lovely departure from the usual "I do, you do, repeat after me," I've seen at so many weddings; the ceremony was unique to us and that made it so very special. Bonnie was beautifully dressed in colors that coordinated with our wedding colors, and she's just a lovely person inside and out! Anyone would be lucky to have her officiate at their wedding!!!

g we said and felt and express it through the ceremony. She incorporated all of our family that was present and even those who had passed, but with us in spirit. I am so happy to have found Bonnie and that she was the one to marry my husband and I. She truly is the best at what she does.

name after the wedding. Her speech while officiating our ceremony was absolutely perfect, and she is the absolute sweetest. I’d recommend her to any couple getting married soon!
