Brooke is Top Tier!

Brooke is awesome. We were amazed by her professionalism and dedication to our ceremony. We met only once over a video call and then showed up on the wedding day. She prepared a wonderful elopement style ceremony for us and spoke eloquently and with kindness in her voice. She was responsive and always reachable. She also handled the signing of the certificates smoothly. She kept the communication clear and flowing about writing our vows and other things needed from us. We highly recommend Brooke as a wedding officiant.

Amazing!!!!

Brooke was so amazing! The ceremony was absolutely beautiful. Everyone at our wedding was very impressed and got emotional during the ceremony. Brooke arrived early and was super flexible. A week prior to the wedding we asked if she could change her arrival time and she responded immediately letting us know she could. Her timeliness, responsiveness, thoughtfulness, kindness, and positivity truly impressed us. Highly recommend!!!

Great experience with Brooke!

Brooke officiated our wedding and she was amazing! We loved working with her.

She kept us in the loop on the different things we had to do about the marriage application, she had a great ceremony speech foundation that she customized for us after talking with us, and she had some good ideas for how to adjust it on the day before the wedding when a key family member referenced in the ceremony was unable to attend. Multiple guests asked us after the fact where we found her because they loved her speech.

We would definitely recommend Brooke to anyone looking for an officiant!

Working with Brooke was great! She was thoughtful in her communication and elegant in her delivery during the actual ceremony. So much so that she seemed like a friend of the wedding couple. An excellent choice.
