Awarded Best of Zola
“One of the most complimented parts of our entire wedding day was our ceremony, and that’s all thanks to our incredible officiant, Evan. From the beginning, we knew we wanted a ceremony that felt meaningful and personal, and Evan delivered that and so much more. He met with us ahead of time, walked us through everything, and really took the time to understand our story. When the big day came, he absolutely nailed it. He shared our love story in such a heartfelt and light-hearted way, beautifully weaving in some of my favorite scripture. There was laughter, happy tears, and so much joy…he truly set the tone for the rest of the day, and helped calm my nerves more than he probably realized. To top it all off, Evan is a true jack of all trades, his company also offers bartending services! Right after the ceremony, he jumped behind the bar and kept the good vibes going. So many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed chatting with him and how great the service was. If you're looking for someone who can do it all,and do it with heart….Evan is your guy.”

She told us everything that we needed to do leading up to the wedding, she included a prayer and catered to our religious beliefs by including that in our ceremony. She was so accommodating and supportive and even though we forgot our marriage license the day of the wedding, she didn’t panic or worry because the very next day we were able to meet up with her and give her the license to complete and sign so it could go out right away. If you are looking for someone to officiate your wedding and do a wonderful job doing so, look no further cause she is the best!
