    The Best Wedding Officiant

    We were so lucky to have Bonnie as our wedding officiant! From the start, she made the entire process incredibly smooth and stress-free. Bonnie took the time to get to know us and customized the ceremony to reflect our personalities and love story perfectly. Her attention to detail and thoughtful approach made our ceremony truly special and unique.

    Working with Bonnie was a breeze. She guided us through every step of the marriage process and legal procedures, making sure we knew exactly what to do and when. Her helpfulness and expertise were invaluable, and we felt completely at ease knowing she had everything under control. If you're looking for an officiant who is professional, caring, and will create a beautifully personalized ceremony, we highly recommend Bonnie!

    5/11/2024 Wedding

    I came across Bonnie on Wedding Wire while starting my search for wedding vendors after getting engaged and let me tell you … absolutely STELLAR from start to finish! I am so incredibly thankful we chose Bonnie! She made it so comfortable for us, worked with all our questions and concerns early on, and really made the entire ceremony so personal and heartfelt. All our guests told us afterwards how amazing, professional, and captivating she was. I truly would recommend her for any couple needing an officiant!

    Outstanding Wedding Celebrant

    If you arre looking to get married in Bradenton, Saratosa or Anna Maria island, looked no further than engaging Bonnie Sanchez. She was very efficient and informative from the very first time we reached out to her. She made the whole process seemlesly (we are from Australlia) and she have us lots of tips, recommended vendors, and reply to all our questions. We have a zoom conversation with her to go over some questionnaire she has previously sent us, and she put together the whole brief for the ceremony- we were able to choose our wedding vows, poems and she was the warmest and authentic person on the day of our wedding. She was also open to storing our suitcases (the airline lost them for 7 days) at her place while we arrived in Florida . So nice of her!

    Sincere interest and just perfect!

    Bonnie is wonderful! She takes time to get to know you and shows she honestly cares! We knew immediately after speaking with her she would be perfect and we couldn't be happier. She is helpful, full of ideas, knows the area (we are from out of state) and you can tell she truly enjoys and puts her heart in what she does 💕

    The BEST officiant!

    Bonnie was the cherry on top to the most beautiful day ever! Our wedding ceremony was so beautiful because of her. Her words are authentic during each ceremony. And, the words that she used during ours simply blew us away! Our guests RAVED about how amazing she was. One thing about Bonnie is that she is extremely passionate about what she does. She is one of a kind, and I highly recommend her!

    Bonnie goes above and beyond!

    From the moment we first spoke with Bonnie, her genuine warmth and heartfelt words moved us to tears. It was abundantly clear that she approaches her role with an unparalleled level of dedication and care. Throughout the entire process, Bonnie went above and beyond to ensure that our ceremony was not just a formality, but a deeply meaningful and personal expression of our love. What sets Bonnie apart is her genuine desire to connect with her couples on a deep level. She took the time to truly get to know us, listening attentively to our story and incorporating personal touches that made our ceremony uniquely ours.

    Having Bonnie as our officiant was an absolute honor, and we are eternally grateful for the love and care she poured into every aspect of our wedding day. If you're searching for an officiant who will go above and beyond to create a ceremony that is both memorable and deeply meaningful, look no further than Bonnie Sanchez. Thank you so much Bonnie, we will cherish your words forever!

    Truely, Bonnie is AMAZING!

    I could write paragraphs to express how amazing Bonnie is but unfortunately, I don't have the time. That being said, Bonnie is WORTH EVERY PENNY (and to be honest, is quite reasonable for her amazing services).
    For some background, I looked into hiring an officiant and paid a $75 deposit for their service to essentially save the date. After that was when I things went downhill for me. This person did not want to meet with us but acquiesced after my repeated inquires of "do you need to speak with us or get any information from us for the ceremony". When we did finally speak, the conversation was all of 8 minutes. She didn't ask or care to know one single thing about us and really just asked operational questions about the wedding (will there be music, who is walking me down the aisle, etc). I understand that's important but that was the entirety of the chat. I didn't want to push getting to know us any further. We ended the call and I sat silently (concerned and upset). My partner and I both had a pit in our stomach after the conversation and knew we had to find someone else.
    In comes BONNIE. My partner somehow found Bonnie and she was just so much different. A breath of fresh air! She cared about getting to know us! She wanted to know our story! She inquired about our backgrounds! She laughed with us. She shared her background. It felt wonderful! We knew within 5 minutes of the call, Bonnie was the woman for the job! Lots of exclamation points in this review but that is just how lovely a person Bonnie is, I need exclamation points everywhere. In addition, she didn't require a deposit before she would speak with us. This was huge after my previous experience. She was gracious with her time on that initial call and even gave some good tips regarding open enrollment things for our jobs to keep in mind. Additionally, she gave us a really well thought out worksheet with some questions. This helps her form her ceremony talking points and is quite fun to do. However, my partner and I did need a bit of reminder to submit it. And again, Bonnie was on top of it with reminder emails. She also was so flexible and willing to chop or amend anything to make us most comfortable and stay true to our vision. She was personable, professional, kind, funny, and just the best person for the job.
    Remember- Your officiant is going to be presiding over your ceremony (big or small). How much effort or time they put into preceding over your ceremony will show. Dont go for the cheapest option (unless you just want to get it done and in that case might just make sense to consider elopement--which I think is also a great option). We wanted some thoughtfulness behind the person speaking over our union. Mission accomplished. Everyone gushed about Bonnie, almost as much as they gushed about me. Everyone thought we KNEW Bonnie, like for some period of time- she never came across as a generic officiant. Officiants set the tone for your ceremony. You will not regret her as your choice. Lovely lovely person and thoughtful, well executed service. My partner and I couldn't thank her enough!

    Fantastic and wonderful

    Bonnie was absolutely fantastic! She not only prepared a wonderful outline for our ceremony but also performed it with such grace and care. Her communication throughout the entire process was excellent, and she took the time to truly understand us. Our ceremony was filled with love and included all the elements we had hoped for. Bonnie felt like family to us on that day, both in spirit and appearance.

    Top Officiant Choice in Florida!

    Bonnie is absolutely AMAZING and truly has a gift with words! From day one, she was absolutely wonderful and incredibly helpful! We had constant open communication, and she made a real effort to get to know us, ensuring our ceremony was not just special but uniquely personal. I cannot emphasize enough how much I recommend her!

    Bonnie has a beautiful way with words

    Bonnie created the most beautiful ceremony for me and my husband. We interviewed several officiants in the Tampa Bay Area for our November 2023 wedding and was by far the most responsive and caring officiant we got to know. She asked us questions about how we met in order to share our story for our ceremony. Our friend and family were teary during our ceremony especially during the vows.

    Bonnie was an absolute pleasure to work with and we are thankful she took part in our wedding day.

    Easy and amazing

    When I say Bonnie knocked it put of the park… I truly mean it. She was wonderful and so helpful from day one. There was always open communication and she strived to get to know us to create a unique and personal ceremony for us. She guided us when we had questions, and then even on the spot responded to some of our quotes in our vows. We 100% recommend her if you’re looking for a fabulous officiant. On top of it, she sends information on how to obtain your marriage license AND how to change your name. Super thankful we came across Bonnie on Instagram!

    Five Stars are not enough!!!!!

    We have only the most beautiful words regarding Bonnie and the wonderful ceremony she so kindly crafted for us. During our first chat with her, it became very quickly apparent how positive, easygoing and attentive Bonnie was. She answered every annoying question I asked 😉! She took away, every big or small concern.
    We connected right away and I decided that very Moment, that she would be the one, our wedding officiant. Bonnie gathered so many important details about us, our families, and our love for each other that she weaved into her speech. She hit every single point and even I was surprised to remember we told her certain facts! Our friends was amazed by her too and surprised that we just met once before the big day! THAT is how good she is at connecting with her couples and sharing in their joy for an event as special as a wedding renewal! It felt like we had known Bonnie forever.
    Even a one year delay (because of personal setbacks), couldn’t stop Bonnie to stand by our site and keep the connection! She went above and beyond for us and gifted us with THE Vow Renewal of our dreams!
    We could not recommend her enough - you will not be disappointed!

    Absolutely grand!

    You will find no better officiant than Bonnie. She was always fast at answering any questions, emails and texts I had. She was beyond helpful in picking out a location for us as well! Being from out of state, she sent several areas that she recommended highly us to use as we had no idea what each one would look like. She helped with parking there, and times were very flexible. The most friendly person I've met in Florida yet!

    Down-to-Earth and Professional

    Bonnie was able to do an impeccable job with just a few weeks notice. In fact, a number of our elderly guests said that it was the best ceremony to which they’ve ever been. Bonnie took the time and effort to connect on a personal level with us which allowed her to crate a vibe that was relaxed and humorous but also romantic and professional. She helped us through every aspect of the process, providing information and guidance. We cannot thank her enough for making our day unforgettable!

    A wonderful and beautiful ceremony

    Bonnie was the best. She was there every step of the way and really took the time to get to know us (even deeper than expected) to really make the ceremony as personal as could be. By the end it was like having an old dear friend as our officiant. We could not have asked for a better event.

    Most thoughtful officiant you can ask for

    We’re SO glad we had Bonnie officiate our wedding! She is an absolute gem who puts her heart and soul into her craft. She does not use templates or shortcuts - she writes personalized scripts from scratch based on YOUR UNIQUE story. She's completely thoughtful of us as a couple but also of our guests. We cannot tell you how many people came up to us after the ceremony to tell us what an amazing officiant Bonnie is and how some have NEVER heard such a great speech during a ceremony. There was not a dry eye at the ceremony. She already has a process in place to ensure you get the best ceremony pictures and how to get your guests engaged. Working with her was a pleasure - she is prompt, responsive, detail oriented, and empathetic (she knows her couples have a lot going on!). We would recommend Bonnie’s services to anyone and everyone getting married. She was perfect!

    Bonnie Sanchez created a personal and engaging ceremony

    We had a small in person wedding and broadcast on zoom to about 70 people. It was very important to us that our ceremony be compelling for those people on screen as well as in person. Bonnie was able to guide us, through asking all the right questions, to make our wedding everything we wanted it to be. Many guests commented on what a beautiful ceremony Bonnie officiated. She was also helpful navigating the legal aspects with great advice and guidance. Highly recommend her.

    The best officiant in FLorida!

    If I could gave 100 stars and more I would! Bonnie did ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL JOB! I couldn't be more happier with the ceremony she created for us.The process was easy and flawless because Bonnie made it so! Very detailed, she went over everything and made it easy while we were a little overwhelmed with all the wedding preparations and I knew the ceremony was one thing i didn't have to worry about because Bonnie definitely is the best in Florida! From questionnaire provided by her, Bonnie created beautiful speech with our love story and good laugh, guests LOVED it! Super responsive and very efficient. She took care of all documentation for us and followed up with instructions and FAQ's after the wedding. Like I said out of the whole wedding prep process(and I know how stressful it is, I had to organize it myself) one thing I didn't have to worry about was my ceremony because I had Bonnie as my officiant:) If you are looking for an one - look no more! Bonnies is absolutely the best! Thank you Dear Bonnie!!! I will recommend you to everyone I know! Love and hugs from both Valeria and Farris!

    Beautiful wedding ceremony

    Bonnie really helped make our day special. She created a beautiful ceremony crafted around my husband's and I's love story. Bonnie really took in the things we told her about us and how we viewed each other and crafted a beautiful wedding ceremony. There was not one dry-eye in the house. We even got my mother-in-law involved in a prayer for the marriage and we had Bonnie do a blessing of the rings. A lot of our guests asked "where did you find her?!" because she did such a fantastic job and really helped guide us through the ceremony. It was absolutely beautiful.

    Bonnie Made Our Wedding So Very Special

    Bonnie is an AMAZING OFFICIANT!! When we first contracted with her, she sent questionnaires to my new husband and me, along with samples of readings and vows, and then she used our responses to create a beautiful story of our relationship leading up to the wedding. It was a lovely departure from the usual "I do, you do, repeat after me," I've seen at so many weddings; the ceremony was unique to us and that made it so very special. Bonnie was beautifully dressed in colors that coordinated with our wedding colors, and she's just a lovely person inside and out! Anyone would be lucky to have her officiate at their wedding!!!
