Abby Sent on 12/03/2023The Most Incredible & Special Wedding Officiant EVER!!!
If you’re reading this review, you likely saw that Smitten State Weddings has a VERY solid 5-star rating. As a recent Smitten State Bride™️, I am here to tell you – Emily & Smitten State Weddings deserves 1,000 STARS!
We weren’t sure what to expect during Emily’s process, but she makes it very simple! Emily takes the time to interview you and your spouse to get to know you as individuals & experience your dynamic. She then follows the interview with a written questionnaire, featuring a section for each partner and a section to complete together. Every question is curated perfectly, helping you narrate the story of you & your future spouse. Emily was there each step of the way, answering any questions.
Our FAVORITE Things & Important PROs for Smitten State Weddings:
1. Emily has the clearest, most charismatic speaking voice!
2. Emily is the most accommodating human – she got ordained in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania so she could marry us!
3. Emily delivered the most beautiful, emotional, heartful, and PERFECT wedding ceremony!! Even as we were standing on the stage, in front of over 100 people, it felt like it was just my husband & I, recounting our love story to our future grandchildren 50 years from now – a story full of love, sadness, laughter, SO much emotion, and a decade of life. A story that Emily did a FLAWLESS job of sharing with our family & friends!
To summarize this special human & her phenomenal services…
After Emily took copious hand-written notes during our 3-hour-long interview, my husband & I knew that Emily would deliver complete perfection for our ceremony. She gave us peace of mind that the most important part of our wedding would be absolutely magical, and that is the most special gift -

Ceremony of our Dreams!
I found Emily from Smitten State Weddings through my online searching sometime last year. We really wanted someone who would handle writing and executing a ceremony that we felt would fit our vibe. We wanted something fun, romantic, non-religious and special. Emily delivered that and more! She was happy to accommodate our crazy requests for things such as a mid-ceremony peppermint schnapps shot. Her energy and enthusiasm were felt not only by Steven and me, but all our guests. Many people came up to ask where we had found her as they were so impressed with her work! Thank you, Emily, for the wedding ceremony of our dreams! -

Emily performed amazingly and greatly exceeded my expectations of what an officiant could bring to me and my wife's wedding! Originally, we were planning on just having a friend get ordained to help us save some money but I am 100% certain, after working with Emily, that me and my wife would have been missing out on a really great ceremony (which is a pretty important part for a wedding)! Emily had a meeting with us and got to understand why we felt our bond was so special and used various personal stories and information that we provided to orchestrate a ceremony that would compliment the night. She let us in on the creation of the ceremony as well to make sure that we would not have any issues but (except for a few major ideas) we completely allowed Emily to create away! During the ceremony, Emily allowed for us to take our first steps into marriage with smiles on our faces and tears in our eyes, and our guests shared the same emotions.
Hands down, if I were to go back in time and redo my wedding, some food/decoration decisions would change, but I would certainly be bringing my business to Smitten State. -

Do yourselves a favor and book emily!
There is nothing I can say that will truly put into words what an amazing and beautiful job Emily did for our big day. Not only is she a great writer, speech maker, and officiant, she is also the best person we could ever have asked for to walk us through our I dos. She puts so much time, thought and effort into creating a ceremony that was unique and tailored to us. I can say with honesty that ALL of our guests commented on what a wonderful officiant we had and asked if she was an old friend because she so fully put "our story" into words as if she had watched the whole thing unfold. She was not an old friend but we are hoping we can call her that 10 years or so down the line. Honestly a true delight and I would not book ANYONE but her. I promise you will not regret it. -

Emily and I actually attended grad school together, where she gave phenomenal speeches and presentations. She's so thoughtful and clever and has such a way with spoken word. As soon as I got engaged, she was the one vendor I already knew I wanted.
As expected, Emily led us in a perfect ceremony. She also has a very easy, streamlined process. We met and discussed the ceremony early on. She sent us questionnaires to fill out in which we reflected on our relationship and shared key facts, feelings, and moments for her to utilize in the ceremony. She is so helpful, organized, and good at what she does that she even sent our marriage license in to the county on our behalf!
Emily is fantastic, and will help you have the beautiful (and at times funny!) ceremony of your dreams. -

Working with Emily has been a blast! We found Smitten State Weddings on Weddingwire a few months ago and reached out to them through email. Emily was very quick to respond and answered all of our questions promptly. My then-fiance and I had a Zoom meeting with her to discuss our plans and to see if we were a good fit, and we hit it off immediately! Emily was very funny, warm and joyful. She is professional but also fun to talk to. Being a young couple who didn't know much about weddings, she made us feel relaxed and helped answer all of our questions. We filled out a questionnaire and Emily wrote a beautiful ceremony celebrating the story of how we met. We just got married last week in a small and simple wedding, and everything went perfectly. We're very happy to have hired Emily to officiate our wedding. -

When we first spoke to Emily, we immediately clicked – she is extremely friendly, funny, and easy to talk to. After our initial meeting, she gave us a questionnaire asking about our relationship, our shared interests and hobbies, personal anecdotes, and what we love about each other. Shortly after we returned it, she sent us a draft of the wedding ceremony that we were able to review and request edits for. Her writing is beautiful, had personal touches, and was so lovely that we already started tearing up just reading the draft! During the rehearsal and ceremony, she was professional, organized, and made us feel like we were in excellent hands. Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the ceremony was written and how great an officiant she is. Overall, we are so thrilled that we chose her and cannot recommend her enough. She is amazing! -

Emily was so amazing we laughed we cried and we laughed some more. Emily ensured that we were great and the response time and reassurance was amazing. Once our big day came she kept myself and family calm when my wife was having technical difficulties. She knew we wanted everything original and not rehearsed at all just what ever happened would happen. We winged our vows and Emily was all for it. The encouragement she gave us along the way to our big day was great. It helped ease the anxiety. I recommend her over any and everyone on this app. -

I worked close with Emily who provided me and my husband Patrick with a great ceremony. The ceremony featured jumping the broom, vows, laughs, and cries. However, what prompted all these great events during my wedding was the lovely and profoundly informative program Emily presented. The way she took our experiences and wrote them into our ceremony was beyond beautiful. You'll get no better experience and the price is really too low for the amount of time and quality she puts into the ceremony. Loved my experience and now she's going to be a honorary member of my family! -
