Elaine was a joy to work with!

Elaine was such a pleasure to work with. She has a lot of experience to offer and it really showed. Elaine was very responsive, organized, and easy to work with. The process of working with her was very smooth and seamless. We didn't have any worries leading up the the Wedding.

She offers extensive documents to help you curate your ideal wedding ceremony and offers help whenever needed. She also includes additional, useful documents such as name change process, processional list, and ordering marriage license copies.

Elaine was a joy to work with. We can't thank her enough.

So happy with Elaine!

Elaine was great from our first contact with her. She answered all our questions and communicated well. She provided us with a variety of examples of vows and ideas, and was supportive in helping us create a beautiful custom ceremony. At our wedding, she was professional, personable, and kind. We were so happy to have chosen Elaine to be our officiant and would highly recommend her.

We all loved Elaine

Elaine was a joy to work with on our wedding ceremony, from the initial meeting to The Big Day. All of our guests also raved about how well Elaine conducted our ceremony, the wording of the vows, and her great interactions with a broad scope of ages and backgrounds among our family and friends. It was like we had known Elaine for years and years.

There are many moving parts and unexpected changes that can arise in a ceremony (weather not cooperating, etc.) An officiant has to be able to go with the flow and take charge so that everything runs smoothly. Elaine is extremely organized, focused, professional and articulate. She is adept at coordinating all the parts of a ceremony so that everything runs without any hiccups. She was very cognizant of appropriate places to add music as a special touch for the couple. It was great to work with Elaine and I look forward to providing music at the next wedding she officiates!

Elaine creates beautiful ceremonies! I've attended at least 20 of her weddings (as a photographer, not a guest ;), and have always enjoyed her thoughtful and elegant guiding of the ceremony.

I can't say enough nice things about Elaine and how well she works with clients. I have had the pleasure of working with Elaine over the years and it feels like seeing an old friend each time we work at the same event. You can tell that her clients also feel an ease when getting ready for their big moment and Elaine leading the way. You can't go wrong with having Elaine as part of your special day!
