I felt like I had no idea what I was doing and that the day was going to not be what I pictured it to be but Anna was amazing in walking me through the steps of getting a marriage license, she turned it in for me. She checked up on me and was there early. She definitely calmed my nerves and was amazing. Couldn't have asked for a better officiant.

Anna was a great officiant for our small wedding. My spouse and I were unsure of how our ceremony would run, but Anna was very helpful and gave us a very structured overview of how it would play out.

She performed our ceremony beautifully. Perfect for our intimate ceremony. We would definitely highly recommend Anna!

I contacted Anna at the last minute after deciding I didn’t want to use our friend to marry us. Even with it being super close to the wedding date, she said she was available which was such a relief! I wanted an officiant to marry us who was professional, caring, nice, and who new what they were doing. Anna was that and much more! Such a sweet person and offered help for anything I needed for my wedding. She did a wonderful job on the wedding day; our ceremony went flawlessly. Cannot thank her enough for the time she put into writing our ceremony and making such an important moment in our lives so perfect. Thank you, Anna!
