    The best officiant

    Julie was so warm and welcoming. She celebrated our love long before we said I do. She curated a ceremony that was unique and personal to our desires and we are eternally grateful. She responded to all of our needs and requests very quickly. She had a lot of knowledge on vendors and service providers. She recommended an amazing make up artist to us as well as an accommodating restaurant for dinner.

    Wedding Officiant Julie Dotson-Reid's reply:

    Thank you for your beautiful words! It was a true honor crafting a unique ceremony for our newlyweds. I'm thrilled you felt the warmth and joy on your special day. Your happiness means the world! Kia and John, you are indeed blessed with a love that shines bright. Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness Mr. & Mrs. Conner!

    Warm, friendly, fun

    Julie Dotson-Reid was wonderful to work with, she made our ceremony feel personal and special and it felt tailored to us. I was having anxiety the night before and she was more than understanding and comforting, answering my questions and making things feel calm and fun instead of stressful. I absolutely recommend her as your officiant for your special day!

    Wedding Officiant Julie Dotson-Reid's reply:

    Thank you so much Mrs. Conway for such kind words. It was truly a pleasure to work with you and Mr. Conway, you two are amazing! So we have one for the record, Wedding, Haunted Venue, lights goes out just to let us know they’re there… or it could have just been Ophelia!! Much to think about. To you and Mr. Conway congratulations!

    Richmond Elopement

    Was a beautiful, small ceremony in the heart of Richmond. Julie was excellent; she and her husband were so caring and jovial. She respected our desires and prepared a beautiful ceremony which spoke to who we are. My Wife and I are so happy and thankful for Julie.

    Wedding Officiant Julie Dotson-Reid's reply:

    The best Love story

    I wish I could give Julie more stars than 5, I’ve never seen a ceremony so perfectly done. Julie gets to know the couple and the service reflects her knowledge of you. She’s very empathetic and very patient, Julie will tailor your service to give you the best ceremony a couple could ever ask for. Julie was so amazing, even the guest spoke highly of her. Julie’s bedside manner’s were awesome, I am so happy to have chosen her for this very special day. I highly recommend Julie for your service, trust me you will not be disappointed. I want to say thank you so much Julie, you are an amazing person 🙏🏾❤️

    Wedding Officiant Julie Dotson-Reid's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kindest of words. It was truly a honor to be apart of such a special day! It was an absolute blessing not just for the couple, but for everyone who participated in the celebration of marriage! Believe me the day was magical, absolutely Blessed! Thank you again!

    Looking for an officiant? Look no further than Julie!

    Julie basically saved the day for us! We found out a little less than a month before our wedding that our officiant couldn’t legally marry us due to some rules in Virginia. We contacted Julie off of a list that Chesterfield County provided us and I’m so glad we did! With Julie’s help we were able to have our family friend do the ceremony, so we basically got to get married twice😊Julie has such a calming presence and gave us a great keepsake for our wedding. If you are looking for an officiant, I cannot say enough good things about Julie!

    Absolutely wonderful

    My husband and I had Julie come out to our home for our small ceremony.

    She was so nice and professional. Honestly, I think this woman is the nicest person I have ever met.
    She was kind to us and my husband's father and walked us through all the necessary steps.

    I would absolutely recommend her services to anyone looking to get married.
    I can't say enough nice things, she made the experience special for us.

    Thank you Julie!

    Wedding Officiant Julie Dotson-Reid's reply:

    Claudia! Thank you kindly for the kindest of words. You two were my joy! I really appreciate the opportunity to be apart of your special day!!! Best to you and your husband... don’t forget to wear those “Just Married” buttons! Congratulations again!

    Julie did an amazing job with our ceremony. We selected the marriage counseling/ ceremony package and were very satisfied with the services. Not only did Julie show professionalism, but true compassion. She assisted with a last minute florist, venue selection, and managed to help me stay calm! The skills we learned in our marriage counseling sessions are used daily in our home. She also contacts us every three months to see how we're progressing in our marriage (this part is optional). I highly recommend Julie Dotson to officiate any wedding ceremony, she's truly a gem!

    Wedding Officiant Julie Dotson-Reid's reply:

    Gabrielle thank you very much for the kind words. I'm very passionate about my couples you're more to me than clients! Please know it was honoring to have been a part of your special day! Enjoy all of your firsts in this newlywed year!
