I can't say enough good things about Hazel. My husband and I are from California and had a destination wedding in Miami Beach, FL. We wanted a unique non-denominational ceremony an...
d Hazel was the perfect choice for that. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and created a personalized ceremony. We liked that she was bilingual as we had wanted to do part of our ceremony in Spanish. Hazel is professional, timely, and energetic. We could not have asked for a better officiant.
So let me start off by saying that Hazel is the best! My husband and I were really meticulous about who to choose as an officiant. We went based off reviews and photos that were sh...
ared by Hazel of herself with the couples that she wed. Every photo was filled with joy and happiness and those are feelings that we wanted to have at our wedding. This is why we chose her and we’re so glad we did. She walked us through the entire process of the ceremony. The words she shared during our ceremony were nothing short of perfect and made it as if she had known us for years. We’re so glad we went with our decision to choose her. She is professional, welcoming, kind and so down to earth. She was on time and even spent some time with me as I got ready. She was also really easy to communicate through email and text messages. Don’t hesitate to choose her for your ceremony! She is absolutely worth it! :)
Very thoughtful, energetic, and has a strong attention to detail. We were very particular about what we wanted for our ceremony—specifically, we wanted it to be no religious and mo...

She was dressed to the nines and very professional looking for our images which I greatly appreciate. Even though we had her trek down the beach to get to us she looked beautiful and was right on time. She customized our vows for us and made it original and not something I have heard before and was able to send me a copy to make a gift using them.

Hazel is the most professional, passionate and caring person I have ever ...
met! She was our officiant for our wedding in South Beach Florida and everything was amazing! The ceremony she performed was absolutely beautiful and professional and my wife and I cannot thank her enough! From the beginning when we first contacted Hazel which was months before our wedding date in July 2021 she continually worked with us and helped us out with many suggestions including wedding venues and fabulous hotels to photographers and more in the area! She was in touch with us continually right through our wedding day in South Beach Florida. She responded to every one of our phone calls and every text that we wrote to her. Hazel also took care of our marriage license including her signature and making sure everything gets to the county's clerks office for filing, and we received all our copies of our official marriage license delivered right to our home! Hazel takes a lot of pride in what she does and it made our wedding day more special! She deserves more then FIVE STARS! My wife and I would HIGHLY recommend WEDDINGS BY Hazel when you get married!!! Thank you so much Hazel… YOU ARE THE BEST!!! Valerie & Tom!!!

We would 100% recommend Hazel to any family or friends!

I’m so glad I did after speaking with her she made me feel comfortable and at ease that my day would be beyond special even if it was just a party for two. She was so professional she asked us to fill out a questionnaire about ourselves as she was writing our vows. She captured everything we wanted to say. I was beyond impressed and hired her to perform our upcoming wedding. With everything going on this year we decided to postpone our celebration and Hazel has accommodated us and made this very difficult time a little easier.
