My fiancé (now wife) and I came across Trish from I Do, Too while searching for an officiant and we couldn’t be happier with our choice!! First, let me start with the fact that we are a same sex couple and we were specifically looking for someone to marry us who would not only agree to perform the ceremony (not all officiants will perform same sex marriages), but would do so HAPPILY without making us feel any different than any other couple—we found exactly that in Trish.

On her website there are many pictures of her officiating weddings, but I couldn’t help but notice a prominently displayed picture of her doing a lesbian wedding which really made us feel like she was truly all inclusive and catered to everyone. After emailing back and forth, she set up a time to speak to both of us on the phone and get to know our story and US—as people. We really felt like she CARED about us and that this wasn’t just a job for her, but something that she enjoyed and loved doing. She was so helpful in the planning process by sending us sample passages of readings, poems, and different versions of vows that we could read through and select our favorites. I enjoyed that it wasn’t just a simple “one-size-for-all” wording used during the ceremony and I liked having a little say and choice in what she would say during the ceremony. Although, if you prefer a more hands-off approach, Trish is more than capable to handle the wording on her own—I just preferred to be very involved in the process.

As for the ceremony itself, Trish was a lot of fun! We had a rather strange request for Trish during the ceremony which was to hold up and present a pair of handcuffs to our friends and families which we then used to handcuff ourselves to each other. Trish had no hesitation in agreeing to our special request and seemed to love the idea!

All in all, Trish was great to work with—She was prompt in replying to emails, had plenty of samples of vows and readings during the ceremony for her to read that we could pick and choose from, showed real interest in getting to know us and our story, and showed up early for the ceremony handled all the paperwork efficiently. She was incredibly professional yet relaxed and competent and I can’t recommend her enough. You really can’t go wrong with her, and it also was heartwarming to know that she offered a discount to military and first responders, which just goes to show how much she values people. Hire her NOW!!

I'm already thinking of using Trish again for vow renewals down the road!! She let us enact our vision while providing guidance along the way. She was patient and understanding during an emotional time. She made the process extremely easy for us, even providing printed out instructions for how and where to pick up the marriage certificate after our honeymoon. Highly recommend!

Trish is the most wonderful person and we’re so thankful that she was our officiant. The first time we spoke with Trish we felt like we had known her forever! My husband and I were nervous for our ceremony because we’re a bit shy and don’t like attention, so standing in front of 150 people was not exactly in our comfort zone. But Trish just exudes the most loving, calm and comforting energy, so we knew we would be just fine standing up there because we had her support!

Trish held our hands through the entire process and helped us write the most beautiful ceremony script. I’m not even exaggerating when I say every guest came up to us to compliment how beautiful and intimate our ceremony was. We were so nervous leading up to the wedding because we wanted to read our own personal vows to each other but weren’t sure we would be able to get through them once it came time for the ceremony. Trish encouraged us and helped give us confidence, but also made sure we had a back-up ceremony script just in case we weren’t feeling brave enough in the moment. Luckily we got through our vows just fine and were so thankful we did because it made the ceremony so much more personal and intimate.

Trish also took care of our marriage license which was great not having to worry about that after the wedding. She also gave us a bound book of our ceremony script, vows, and other important documents from our ceremony as a keepsake, which was super thoughtful and touching! We couldn’t be more grateful to have worked with Trish!
