    Best Officiant EVER

    WOW! Meredith was absolutely amazing to work with. I can not even imagine having a different officiant at our wedding. Our wedding ceremony was absolutely perfect because of her. She has a very calming presence and has great ideas to incorporate for your ceremony. When we asked her about certain ideas she had a lot of great recommendation to fit exactly the style and vibe we were looking for at our wedding ceremony. The ceremony was very touching, heartfelt and absolutely perfect. We can't recommend Meredith enough!!!

    Personable, calm, and attentive. These are all adjectives that describe Meredith!

    My husband and I were honored to have Meredith officiate our big day. From the day we booked her services to the day of our wedding, her communication was consistent and clear. Meredith laid out our entire ceremony with us, including offering examples and resources for writing our own vows, popular readings that we could choose from, and various types of traditional vows we can use as well. We love that we had the choice and the opportunity to make the ceremony capture us as a couple. Through a questionnaire, Meredith was able to piece our love story from both my perspective and my husband's perspective into a beautiful representation of who we are as a couple. Her presence was calming (which is so important for a wedding ceremony) and she had a beautiful elegance to her demeanor and through her words. In addition, she included our family and friends and was able to bring soft humor into our ceremony as well. I would highly recommend Meredith to anyone who was in search for a personable, calm, and attentive wedding officiant.

    Meredith made our elopement so special!

    We had Meredith officiate our elopement and it was perfect. Her presence is so calming and natural, and she is super easy to work with. On the day of the elopement a bunch of smoke blew in and messed up our initial outdoor location plan. She proactively coordinated an alternative location with our photographer and called to suggest it a few hours in advance of the ceremony. We are forever grateful to Meredith for making our ceremony so meaningful and better than we ever imagined!

    Capturing the couple

    The officiant plays the most important role on your big day as they have to capture and convey the story of the couple. When it came to choosing Meredith to tell our story we knew she was the perfect fit. Her friendly demeanor was inviting and her expertise in the field ensured we were in good hands. She provided us with helpful information about the entire process from the ceremony planning to obtaining a marriage license. She took time to listen to our story and intertwined our answers from her detailed questionnaire to incorporate, which made the ceremony so personal and special. Another great thing is how flexible she is. She really tailors to the couples wants and needs so every ceremony is custom while still incorporating traditional elements. Our guests also raved about how she had the perfect tone and voice which set the mood.

    Could not have been better

    Meredith was amazing throughout the entire process.
    She was extremely friendly and worked with us to find out exactly what we wanted and executed it perfectly. She also was so so calm on the day of the wedding which helped everything just run that much smoother. Thank you so much!

    The most AMAZING officiant!

    Meredith was an absolute pleasure to work with. Not only was she professional, organized and communicative, she also delivered the most beautiful ceremony for our wedding. She had us choose between different readings and sent us each a questionnaire to answer beforehand. She took the time to get to know my husband and me and personalized the ceremony in such a way that our guests thought she was a long time friend. Meredith also came early to my venue on the day of my wedding and checked in on me to make sure I was feeling okay. It was such a calming feeling seeing her standing with my husband at the end of the aisle because by the time our wedding came around, she didn't feel at all like a stranger. My husband and I attended multiple other weddings this year and after each ceremony we both said to each other "it was good, but it wasn't Meredith". So THANK YOU MEREDITH for making our wedding day that much more special!!

    Meredith made our ceremony the most special part of our wedding day!!

    Meredith is the best!!! We had met a couple (who also got married in Tahoe) while traveling in Alaska who said the 1 vendor for a Tahoe wedding you have to hire is Meredith and we're SO glad we did!


    She spent so much time upfront getting to know my partner and I before our ceremony (both in-person and with individual surveys/ questions via email), which enabled her to create a super personalized and professional ceremony. Meredith was calm, intentional, and created a space where my partner and I could truly soak in the joy of the ceremony and feel present, despite being in the spotlight in front of 150 of our friends and family.

    We had debated whether or not to have a friend/family member officiate our ceremony and I'm SO happy we chose against that- Meredith presented so many different options and variations of ceremonies and allowed us to still feel empowered to create one that was unique to us and our priorities. We had SO many of our guests share that the ceremony (and particularly officiant) was the best they've been to.
    We also so appreciated Meredith's easy-going and inclusive demeanor. Would absolutely recommend Meredith to any and everyone looking for a personalized, love-filled, and intentional ceremony. THANK YOU, Meredith!!! We're so grateful for you

    Meredith is awesome!!

    Meredith was our officiant for our elopement in July. She was absolutely amazing to work with and she went above and beyond to make our ceremony perfect. She really took the time to get to know us and created a wedding script that far exceeded our expectations. She was incredibly accommodating and an absolute joy to be around. We felt like she was a trusted friend who was genuinely delighted to celebrate with us. Her energy is very calming and she exudes kindness and warmth. We are so glad she was our officiant and we wholeheartedly recommend her!

    The perfect officiant!

    We absolutely loved working with Meredith. I had an immediate connection with her during our initial consultation and all communication during the planning process was clear and easy. She created a one-of-a-kind ceremony, tailored to me and my husband. Everyone (even my Catholic parents who would have much preferred I had gotten married in a church with a priest!) found the ceremony to be incredibly special and meaningful. I definitely recommend Meredith regardless of your religious (or non-religious) preferences as she caters to all and ensures a unique, meaningful and intimate ceremony.

    Meredith was wonderful!

    So glad we chose Meredith as our officiant! The ceremony she prepared was absolutely beautiful. In fact, she was the vendor we got the most compliments about from guests. My husband and I are not very religious and she did a great job of coming up with a spiritual and moving ceremony without the religious aspect. In preparation for the big day, she arranged a video conference call to get to know us better (we are not local to Tahoe.) She also sent us both a list of questions to answer about our partner that we sent directly to her so our responses were a surprise to each other on the big day. My husband and I did not write our own vows so these responses that Meredith shared with our guests really helped make the ceremony more personal to our relationship without us having to speak ourselves (win!).

    Meredith Richmond Wedding

    Meredith was extremely helpful and talked us through both the legal steps of getting married as well as the practical details of the wedding itself. She did the ceremony in a very personalized way that made it feel unique to us, incorporating details, anecdotes and jokes that no other wedding in the world would have. Meredith didn't just feel like "the officiant", she felt like a vital part of the ceremony itself. Would highly recommend. She was also very personable and easy to coordinate with, even giving us tourism advice on where to eat and what to see while we were in the area. Outstanding all round.

    Created a calm, relaxed and peaceful ceremony

    Meredith created a calm, relaxed and peaceful intimate ceremony. She took her time getting to know us and provided the support and guidance that is much cherished when eloping. We couldn't have asked for anything more.

    Grateful and Blessed for Meredith

    I am so incredibly grateful for Meredith! She made the experience incredibly special between my now husband and myself by getting to know us individually and as a couple. She truly made the ceremony and wedding day more special than I could have ever imaged. Meredith is such a kind, generous and loving person- we were so blessed to have her as our officiant!

    Meredith is the best!


    Can’t say enough great things about Meredith and the services she provided for our Lake Tahoe elopement. She was very knowledgeable and helped us with the legal logistics of our ceremony and even found out we could get our marriage license in Texas and bring it with us to marry in California. Making our ceremony personal to us was her top priority, she took the time to get to know us beforehand and checked in several times to make sure she wasn’t missing any special details. She was flexible throughout the entire process when some last minute hiccups happened which we really appreciated about her. I would hire her again and again, thank you Meredith!

    Very accommodating!

    We were very specific with the readings we wanted and the ring exchange wording. Meredith was happy to accommodate. Because we eloped there was not really any prep, but the ceremony and wording went mostly as we had intended (we experienced a little confusion during the ring exchange wording, but it was fine overall). Meredith is lovely.

    Highly reccomend!

    Choosing Meredith to officiate our wedding was one of the best decisions we could have made. After just meeting her once before the wedding via zoom, she was able to create a simple but wonderful ceremony. She said all the things we wanted to to say in the most beautiful way (which was perfect because reading our own vows was something that both us were very uncomfortable with). She just has such a way with words. We highly recommend her for any type of ceremony, she is a delight to work with and one of the sweetest people we have ever met!

    Beyond My Highest Expectations!

    We will forever remember Meredith for creating the most phenomenal, meaningful, out-of-this-world wedding ceremony this past September. She takes the time to really understand you as a couple and creates a seamless script that engages the whole audience and expresses the rare intimacy of the moment. We even put Meredith in our wedding album because she was such a key part of our wedding being unforgettable. We love Meredith and would recommend her without a doubt to anyone who wants a personalized, once-in-a-lifetime ceremony that makes you feel comfortable, prepared, sentimental, and magical.

    Amazing and Personalized

    Meredith was absolutely exceptional. Our family has continuously told us how beautiful the ceremony was. Meredith took time to get to know us and the way in which things were worded, fit us so well. It really meant the world to us and couldn’t have asked for anything more.

    Tahoe elopement

    Meredith was absolutely wonderful. We eloped in August 2021, our day couldn’t have been more perfect and Meredith played such a huge part in our day. She was very involved from the beginning and gave us such a piece of mind. She was extremely professional and flexible with our needs. She is also very knowledgeable and goes above and beyond to make your day special. I would 100% recommend Meredith to anyone. Our sincerest thanks, always!

    She is Magical!

    Meredith was more than we could ask for. She is the sweetest and kindest spirit and really puts any anxieties you may have at ease. Meredith highlights not only your relationship as a couple but your qualities as individuals and combines all of the above and more to make one amazing ceremony experience. If your looking for someone to tell your love story in a unique fashion than she is the officiant for you! There were so many intimate moments throughout our ceremony that we and our guests loved. I really appreciated her thoughtfulness in checking in with both of my fiancé and I answering any questions about the process along the way. Meredith truly cares about the couples she weds and it shows in her questions, professionalism, her media, and personality highlighting everyone she comes across. Our dog was a big part of our day and she allowed him to be present with us and have his moment in our ceremony, I loved every moment of the ceremony and wish we could it again! I love how she created a social media reel showing our day from her view. It was all around amazing and we still get compliments for what a magical ceremony Meredith created for us. I highly highly highly recommend her if you want the same for your special day.
