Mrnmrs Sent on 08/28/2018Warm, genuine, responsive, responsible, detail-oriented, organized, empathetic, and sincere-- those are just a few adjectives that come into mind when my new husband and I think about our experience with having Elizabeth as our officiant. There's a ton more, but we're trying to be "succinct" here. =) I half joke that Elizabeth was not only our officiant but also my therapist in the time leading up to our wedding since I was a ball of anxiety planning everything. Elizabeth was EVER so patient and responsive with my flurry of nonstop emails and questions, as well as providing constant reassurance which I know was far beyond her job description.
Elizabeth really goes above and beyond, not only providing a huge variety of personalized scripts for your wedding (if you so choose), professionalism of making the legal process very easy, but she also takes the time out of her personal life to get to know you as an individual and as a couple, so that if you choose, you do not feel like you are getting married by a stranger, but rather an old family friend.
Thank you so much for being THE best officiant, friend, and guidance for us in one of the more stressful times!
P.S. This raving review comes from a couple that self-describes themselves to be pretty high maintenance and picky! =)

User2571489 Sent on 04/08/2016A friend recommended Elizabeth's services to us - it was one of the best recommendations that we got. Elizabeth was one of the best choices we made. We are very thankful for all of her helpful tips, her calming presence, and her reminders of what marriage is really about.
We got so many compliments on the ceremony and how beautiful it was. Thanks to Elizabeth we also planned some parts of the ceremony that were very meaningful and memorable to us, to our close friends, and to our parents. We also wanted to incorporate some cultural elements into the ceremony with a hand blessing. Elizabeth helpfully suggested an arrangement for where a table for the ritual should be placed.
Elizabeth also has a lot of wisdom about love and life. Many of our family members seemed to be quite contemplative during and after our wedding. Her message made us all stop and think and reassess our relationships and our efforts to love one another.
Before the ceremony, Elizabeth was always super prompt with responding to emails. She also help prepared us mentally for the day in terms of carving out some time to spend one-on-one together, warning us of competing demands for our attention, and reminding us of the importance of what we were doing among all the fuss and fancy of the wedding day.
We were working in a short time frame, and Elizabeth was on top of everything. She helpfully kept us on track in terms of sending us potential readings/wordings, receiving feedback from us, and sending us revisions. She is a true professional, organized, and a kind and generous soul.
Elizabeth also went above her duties in meeting us on a Thursday night before the wedding for some paperwork to save us some time on the wedding day. She also printed out beautiful copies of our vows, readings, and messages to our parents. Our parents loved the cards that she printed. These were delightful surprises. Thank you, Elizabeth!

User919796 Sent on 09/02/2012Elizabeth is a little more expensive than other officiants, but it is well worth it. We had so many compliments the night of our wedding on the ceremony and how they felt the officiant had a connection with us as a couple. We wanted to include some Greek customs into our ceremony and Elizabeth was truly energized and excited about doing so. She researched a bit to make sure she got it just right and it turned out perfect.
Elizabeth also is a notary so she handles all of the marriage license paperwork for you, which is a nice add on. -

Marie Sent on 11/20/2013We were first introduced to Elizabeth by our wedding planner who had also used her in her own wedding. Our wedding needs were a bit untraditional in nature; Although my husband and I are both agnostic, we wanted to recognize both our families by incorporating a ritual from our families' religions. This was a bit tricky since my parents are Catholic and his are Buddhist. Elizabeth took the time to not only to help us personalize ceremony andvows, but research some of the background info. on the different rituals we could incorporate. Our ceremony was everything we wanted.
Elizabeth is very warm, and provided much reassurance during this exciting/hecting time in our lives. She was full of great advice, easy to talk to, and very easy to work with. We can't recommend her enough!
