Wows and Vows

erfectly us - it told our love story with tears, laughter, and so much joy.  The long version: my husband and I had no clue where to start when looking for an officiant. We wanted someone who could coordinate the ceremony, made the process easy, and aligns with our progressive views (LGBTQ+ rights, for example).  Amy M. was all of this and more. She made planning so easy! She asked if we wanted the ceremony religious, if we wanted to do our own vows, who we wanted in the ceremony, etc. She even mentioned a Celtic hand-fasting ceremony after learning of our trip to Ireland, and we ended up doing one! It was such a special moment. We decided to do our own vows and repeat traditional vows, something we didn’t even know was an option.  At the rehearsal, Amy navigated family dynamics, older relatives with mobility and hearing issues, and our stage fright with ease. She worked well with our other vendors, like our venue-provided coordinator and our dj on microphone set up. She made us feel so at ease! At the ceremony, Amy was a rockstar! She helped with last minute nerves and an issue with my mom’s dress that I only found out about weeks later! As for the ceremony itself, it was PERFECT! It was sentimental, goofy, loving, and full of happy tears.  My favorite moment was when Amy finished my husbands vows, and tried to start mine. I misheard “I, Sophia” as “Hi Sophia”, cheerfully said “Hi!” And stared at her for seconds until realizing my mistake. The ensuing laughter washed away all my nerves and made for a memory I will never forget.  We cannot recommend Amy at Wows and Vows enough!!!! Thank you for everything!

r date for Meb booked fast! She responded quickly and highly recommended Amy. Everyone loved her!! She made our ceremony feel personal and told our story so wonderfully. We had multiple guests come up to us and say how great Amy did during our ceremony. We cant thank Amy enough for everything!!

n the day of our wedding, she did exactly what we asked for and delivered a ceremony that felt deeply personal and just right for us. We got married at the Ohio Statehouse, which is a beautiful but acoustically challenging space. Amy handled it with such grace—her voice carried perfectly, and she made the whole space feel intimate despite its grandeur. She was professional, kind, and genuinely present throughout the entire experience. We can’t recommend her enough!

nt faith so finding someone that would honor that and help us navigate that was important to us. Meb provided examples of readings/prayers/stories/vows to get an idea of what we could use. She also sent us questions separately and then used that information to customize our ceremony. Meb has so many other added personal touches that made us so confident in choosing her. She has such a calming presence that were very welcoming at the reception and day of wedding! We had several guests compliment her presentation and were impressed with how the ceremony flowed. She is a true professional...no need to worry if she steps out of the photo for the first kiss or how to hold hands or your bouquet during the dip :) We found Meb via the "Preferred Vendors" at our venue. We feel we have a new family member now :)

very thoughtful. I didn't want a traditional ceremony since we were already married but Grace gave us great ideas that worked for us. I would highly recommend Grace to anyone. She was a blessing.

epth about them. Meb customized our ceremony perfectly to fit us and I truly feel as though we gained a family friend in the process.

and even took time to ask us about our love story. You would have thought that we knew Grace for years the way that she talked about us. This was an amazing experience.

listed under wedding officiants and sent them a message. I received a message back the same day from Grace Gerber and instantly booked with them. With only one phone call and a few emails back and forth, she put together a wedding ceremony that fit our blended family to a tee. It seemed as if the words spoke straight to our family as if she had known us for years. I can’t thank Grace enough for making our wedding day so special!

hat we wanted while still keeping the ceremony heartfelt and meaningful. We appreciated her making our day so special!

y was. She included what she knew about us and questionnaires me filled out in our ceremony which took it to another level. 10/10 would recommend.

ersonalized the readings perfectly based upon our discussed requests. She also provided a calm demeanor in which allowed our nerves to subside a bit during the ceremony. We received numerous comments about how lovely the ceremony was and how amazing/well-spoken she is. We can’t thank her enough for giving us the perfect wedding ceremony that we will never forget! -Michael and Hannah Popovec

hire an officiant, thinking we might have a friend do it for us. However, fate led us to Amy just a month before our big day, and it turned out to be the best decision we made throughout our wedding planning journey. From the moment we connected with Amy, she demonstrated unparalleled dedication and professionalism. Her communication skills were amazing, and she took the time to truly learn about our story and what made our relationship unique. Amy went above and beyond in crafting a ceremony that was not only beautiful but deeply personal. One of the many highlights was the stress-free experience Amy provided on the day of the wedding. Not only did she run our rehearsal, but she also orchestrated our ceremony flawlessly. Her calming presence and attention to detail made the entire process seamless, allowing us to 100% focus on the joy of the day. We knew we did a great job when guests came up to my husband and me all night to tell us how much they loved our ceremony. We got SO many compliments saying that it felt intimate, personalized, and incredibly touching. Amy's ability to connect with our audience and make them feel a part of our big day was truly remarkable. In hindsight, we can't help but think how fortunate we were to have found Amy. Her passion for what she does shines through in every aspect of her work. We would hire her again 100 times over and wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple, even those who might initially think they don't need an officiant (like us!). Amy at Wows and Vows is a true gem in the world of wedding ceremonies, and we are forever grateful for the magic she brought to our special day.

alized! She was so communicative, thoughtful and kind throughout our entire planning. The ceremony was so perfect and personalized to us and we just can’t recommend her enough!
