Dr. Sharyn Ingrum was wonderful!
I hired Anna to be my officiant mainly because I wanted to have a non-religious ceremony and the idea to have it be officiated by a woman enticed me. I guess I just didn't want to be traditional in this sense. She was quick to get back to my request. Checking in a few months later, she was unfortunately booked for another wedding the same day, but she mentioned she had a partner that she works with, Dr. Sharyn Ingrum, and recommended her to officiate my wedding. From there, we had a Zoom meeting with her to go over our expectations of the ceremony itself, which was to keep it short and sweet and non-religious, but also to mention my dad who passed away and to give him recognition on one of the biggest milestones in my life. Dr. Ingrum was so sweet and I'm glad she officiated our wedding ceremony.I hired Anna to be my officiant mainly because I wanted to have a non-religious ceremony and the idea to have it be officiated by a woman enticed me.

Wholesome and at ease
Anna was a great officiant. She took the time to do some research on the couple and tried to make the ceremony as personal as possible. On the day itself she made me feel at ease and spend time with both of us
She felt like a friend and not like just a hired vendor. Would absolutely recommendAnna was a great officiant. She took the time to do some research on the couple and tried to make the ceremony as personal as possible. On the day itself she made me feel at ease and spend time with both of us

Anna was such a kind and thoughtful officiant.
Anna was amazing as our officiant at my wedding! She took great photos at our wedding that we actually used to send to guests. And after my wedding when I had questions or concerns she made sure to reassure me and gave me guidance. She is so kind, wise and welcoming I would recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant.Anna was amazing as our officiant at my wedding!

A life saver!! Absolutely amazing.
Anna went above and beyond for our wedding. Not only did she interpret the ceremony in English and Spanish. But she literally saved my groomsmen from walking down the isle without their bow ties tied.. picture it..15 mins before the wedding 5 groomsmen in the mirror, watching YouTube trying to figure out how to tie bow ties. Boom.. in walks Anna.. she helped them all get ready and we still made it down the isle in time!!Anna went above and beyond for our wedding.

The list of praises for Anna as our officiant can go on forever! She worked with us through many difficult situations before and during or ceremony. She exceeded all our requests while adding memorable moments that wile didn’t even think of. She was very patient, accommodating, and kind.

Can't say enough about how great Anna is - would recommend her for any occasion!
Anna was one of our favorite decisions that we made for our wedding day - she is warm, earthy, supportive, flexible, and adaptable to any setting / situation. When we set up a consultation with her we had reached out to two other prospective officiants as well, but after our 20-minute call, we decided we didn't want anyone else! Anna also was really proactive about addressing what formality of ceremony we had and the steps throughout the ceremony, offering lots of ideas. Both the groom, myself, and most of our guests were in tears because the wedding felt so intimate and special. Thank you, Anna! For all prospective couples, just set up a call with her - you won't regret it!Anna was one of our favorite decisions that we made for our wedding day - she is warm, earthy, supportive, flexible, and adaptable to any setting / situation.

I had to change our officiant with a little less than 2 months till the desired wedding date. Anna was very time efficient and flexible. She worked with us and even walked us through the process since it was our first marriage and we were out of state. Needless to say, even with me being late, Anna and my husband stayed in the stormy weather.
