A wonderful and thoughtful experience

Tami was a fantastic wedding officiant who helped craft the ceremony exactly as we wanted -- putting time and care into creating the speech as well as conducting it. She worked with us prior and was open to making our loving ceremony just right. She was definitely a memorable part of our wedding experience. Affordable, flexible, kind and to-the-point. Would recommend.

Could Not Have Been Better

I met with Tami briefly when in search of an officiant and walked away from that meeting with a friend. She understood that, while we had 80 or so guests, this moment was for me and my husband. To many officiants, performing wedding ceremonies is just a job. That's not the case with Tami. She made our ceremony an intimate one. She was available with any questions I had, her price was more than reasonable, and she handled the tiny details that, as a bride, sometimes escape you. I'm so glad she was a part of our special day!
