Megan B. Sent on 07/10/2024Vanessa is amazing
Vanessa is hands down the best. From our first phone call, she made me feel at ease about the whole process. She sent us some vow examples and was always quick to respond to my questions. She ensured the readings for the day were exactly what my husband and I wanted. Vanessa was at the ceremony site before we even arrived. She speaks so well and made us feel comfortable throughout the ceremony. We are lucky to have found her.Vows by Vanessa's reply:
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was an honor to be a part of your special day. Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness! 💕 -

Gabriel Sent on 05/02/2024Simply amazing!
Vanessa skillfully forged a heartfelt bond with both my partner and me before our elopement ceremony, fostering a sense of ease and comfort throughout the entire occasion. As a same-sex couple, we needed to choose a wedding officiant who not only embraced inclusivity but also exuded professionalism, qualities that Vanessa exemplified flawlessly. Vanessa curated a hospitable atmosphere, centering our special day on our shared love as a couple. The presence of Vanessa as our officiant was integral to the essence of our elopement ceremony.Vows by Vanessa's reply:
Thank you for your lovely review! It was a joy to be part of your wedding day. Wishing you a future filled with love and happiness! -

Vow Renewal Perfection
What can I say that won’t sound cheesy!!?
Vanessa gave away a vow renewal at her Ribbon Cutting and it actually was an event we could attend so I jokingly put our name in because our five year wedding anniversary was coming up and then WE WON!
Our first elopement was us & our kiddos/parents and we were in the middle of some heavy things in life, I knew I wanted to renew more privately this time to renew our relationship.
Vanessa helped us do just that 🫶🏻 she put together the perfect intimate ceremony for us and really made it feel so ❤️Vows by Vanessa's reply:
Thank you so much for the incredible review! Your words truly touched my heart. It was such an honor to officiate your vow renewal, especially knowing the wonderful work you do as a wedding photographer. From winning the ceremony at my ribbon cutting to celebrating your love story, every moment has been a joy. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness and love! 💕💍 -

May Wedding Ceremony
Vanessa did such an amazing job at our ceremony in May 2024. Vanessa made the effort to get to know us before the ceremony to make it personal. Me and my husband’s family were also very happy with how the ceremony turned out and still talk about how “beautiful” our ceremony was. We have nothing but great things to say about working with Vanessa!Vows by Vanessa's reply:
Thank you so much, Ashby and Dakota, for your wonderful review! It was an absolute honor to officiate your wedding and be a part of your special day. Wishing you both a lifetime filled with love and happiness! -

Best Officiant Ever!
Vanessa did a beautiful job of conducting our wedding ceremony. She made it personable and so memorable for my husband and I. We ran into some hiccups with obtaining our marriage license due to my husbands career and Vanessa went out of her way to help us and found a way for us to get our marriage license in time for our wedding. We are forever grateful for her!!Vows by Vanessa's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind review! It was an honor to be a part of your special day and to help bring your vision to life. Your words mean the world to me, and I'm thrilled to have been able to contribute to your celebration! -

Sara M. Sent on 03/25/2024Responsive, professional, & personal!
We loved working with Vanessa and having her be part of our special day! We first connected with Vanessa when I wanted a family friend to perform our wedding ceremony. She had many resources and steps to help us ensure the ceremony checked all the boxes and was legal. When it ended up not working out for our friend to perform the ceremony, Vanessa agreed to drive from Lynchburg to Richmond to perform the ceremony for us, helping us incorporate our family friend as a guest speaker! She was kind, well spoken, and a joy to be around. She was so quick to respond and answer all of my (many) questions during the wedding planning process. We appreciated all she did to help our ceremony flow well and to make our day special to us.Vows by Vanessa's reply:
I’d like to extend my heartfelt thanks for your wonderful review. It was a privilege to officiate your wedding and share in such a beautiful moment.
Wishing you endless joy and love in your journey together! -

Brenda B. Sent on 10/23/2023Vanessa Saved our Perfect Day!
Admittedly, Vanessa was an officiant recommended to us by our original officiant who had to cancel a week before our wedding. Despite the circumstances, Vanessa stepped up to the plate with great energy and passion. She was incredibly reassuring, supportive, and calming throughout the entire process. With only a week to get to know us, she treated us like old friends. She assertively took charge of both the rehearsal and wedding ceremony and everyone followed her lead. Even before the ceremony, she came to both my spouse and me to ask if we were okay and if we needed anything. She took pictures with us and even got a tattoo from our tattoo artist that was offering Friday-the-13th style tattoos during the reception. With something that could have been a disaster, she gave great guidance and saved the day! We would highly recommend Vanessa to any couple wanting an officiant that is open, accommodating, supportive, and kind.Vows by Vanessa's reply:
Thank you so much, Brenda & Alex! I’m so happy our paths crossed and you trusted me to officiate for you. I’m even more thrilled that you loves your ceremony. Wishing you both many years of love and laughter! 🤍 -

Vanessa was an outstanding officiant for our wedding! She took the time to get to know us as a couple and wrote a beautiful and personal ceremony. We received so many compliments from our guests on how warm and intimate the ceremony felt. She also helped us come up with a unique unity ceremony that fit us as a couple and made each of our guests feel special and included. She overall set the tone for how we wanted to experience our ceremony. It was an honor to be married by Vanessa and we would recommend her to anyone!Vows by Vanessa's reply:
Reading this put the biggest smile on my face and in my heart! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to have fun with your ceremony. I loved being able to add in so many extra special moments, allowing your guests to have an intricate role in your ceremony. Working with the both of you was smooth and I enjoyed it very much! Wishing you, Tyrell & Emma, many many years of love, long walks, and laughs. ☺️ -

Vanessa was so great with the whole process. My husband and I contacted her about 2 weeks before our date to elope and even though it was kind of last-minute, Vanessa made it less stressful! She was so interested in our story and really wanted to make our ceremony special. She even helped us pick the location to make it the best it could be!Vows by Vanessa's reply:
Thank you, Lindsey and Travis! It was such an honor to officiate for you and what an absolutely beautiful place to have your elopement! I hope you both have the greatest time in DR! -

Fantastic experience
Vanessa is absolutely wonderful! Despite already being booked with two weddings on the day we wanted, she was so kind to fit us in. Vanessa asked us questions about our relationship to give us a beautiful tailor-made ceremony. After the ceremony, Vanessa left us a copy of the script to keep as a memory of our special day. She was really friendly and made us feel comfortable from start to finish. Thank you so much!Vows by Vanessa's reply:
It was such an absolute pleasure getting to know you and Sam! I’m so excited for the both of you to build your life together here in the US. Wishing you many years of happiness and love. ☺️🤍 -

Elizabeth V. Sent on 11/15/2022A wonderful officiant
We were referred to Vanessa after the original person we were referred to was unable. From the first conversation we had we loved her. She loves what she does and the shows. It also meant a lot to us, we both come from different religions backgrounds and wanted to find someone who valued being an officiant. She helped us with our marriage license and was able to come to our rehearsal dinner, which we are very happy we had her there to help us figure our procession line up. I would highly recommend her to any future brides and grooms!Vows by Vanessa's reply:
Elizabeth & Terry… I cannot begin to express how thrilled I was to meet you both and how honored to tell your love story. Thank you so much for your kind words. You are a couple that will stay in my core memory bank always. Congratulations again! 🤍 -

Mallory E. Sent on 05/06/2022An Officiant Who Genuinely Cares
Vanessa was our favorite vendor out of everyone we worked with on our wedding day. Communicative, kind, and dedicated to her work, I felt from the first conversation that she truly cared about our wedding as much as we did. She really listened to us, and took the time to get to know us with intentionality. Our wedding ceremony was just perfect. She used what she had learned about us so wonderfully in her writing, and she was there to guide us every step of the way. If you choose Vanessa, you will know without a doubt that you have a team player who is always in your corner.Vows by Vanessa's reply:
Oh my goodness! Reading this made me tear up. Thank you for taking the time to write such kind, heartfelt words. You both made it extremely easy and fun to work with. I truly enjoyed my time with you and your beautiful family and friends. I wish you infinite years of love and happiness! -

Our ceremony was so heartfelt, fun and just exactly as we wished it to be. Vanessa took what she knew about us and created the most genuine vows and ceremony we could have ever asked for. She is sweet, reliable, affordable and sincere. Our ceremony was short, but brought laughter and tears to both our in person and live streamed guests. Thank you so much, Vanessa! You are amazing!Vows by Vanessa's reply:

Perfect Fit
I thought I would be able to have my wedding officiate come from my church. Cut to me frantically searching fo someone reasonable a week before the wedding. I am very ill so I needed the wedding to last less than 30 minutes. She did that. I needed the service to honor my Catholic parents, my Christian friends, and my husband’s Muslim Faith. She did that. So reasonable compared to what we found while we were searching. So kind. So considerate. She was perfect.Vows by Vanessa's reply:
Thank you, Angi and Dji! I’m so happy I had the opportunity to meet the two of you and spend a beautiful afternoon, marrying an even more beautiful couple, in Central Park. You are an inspiration and I feel blessed to have been a part of your special day. Warmest wishes and blessings to you both! -
