A Day to Remember by Stephen L. J. Hoffman

ile but it ended up working just like we planned. As a speaker he is tremendous - he listens to what you want your ceremony to be like and he customizes it to you.

said and done, I was so happy with his ceremony with us on our wedding day. He truly helped us to ensure that our ceremony was perfect for the two of us, he eased all of the nerves...not that there were many, and he kept us and our guests laughing. At the end of the ceremony he surprised us with a little tid bit about ourselves, and it was beyond sweet. I still hear compliments about Steve from my family and friends. He was so much fun to work with! Such a chill and laid back man!

sted readings for us to choose from. My mom is a critic and she even commented on how great our officiant was...that says a lot :) He was very prompt with email responses which was very helpful and appreciated. Thanks for all your help.

beginning and there were many laughs throughout the ceremony and beyond. I'm so happy to have him in my memories of our special day.

meeting, we were already laughing and cutting up with him like he family. At that same meeting, he contributed an idea that we incorporated into our ceremony -- the guys walked in to the theme from the Blues Brothers. And on our wedding day, Stephen Hoffman was right there with us in a dark hat and sunglasses. After the ceremony, our guests commented on what a great job he did of keeping the ceremony upbeat and memorable.

the reviews, I really felt that I need to respond. First, I would like to say that my wedding is almost a year away and I have meet with him twice now! The first meeting was set up a week after I spoke with him on the phone. He was very personable during his meeting and very funny. He gave my fiance and I tons of suggestions and ideas regarding our wedding. He suggested MANY vendors in the area as well. VERY HELPFUL! Our meeting with him lasted over an hour and I really feel that I got to know him as person. As I am sure he got to know us as well. My second meeting with him was by chance! We ran into him in public, my fiance recognized him and although he probably had no idea who exactly we were (he DOES marry tons of people), Steve still stoped and talked to us like we were old friends! That said a lot to me! I would also like to say that the reason I decided to book with Steve is not because of any website I went to or because I found him in a phone book. I booked with him because I have now been to two weddings that he officiated and have had two other people recommend him because he officiated their wedding. He is an awesome speaker! He is funny when appropriate and serious when appropriate. Word of mouth is the best form of advertisement and I have yet to hear anything bad about him! LOOK FOR MY REVIEW NEXT YEAR! The only reason I did not give him five stars is because he has not married me yet!

r their weddings. If you remember I came with my Aunt on New Years Day! Thank you for being a big part of our life and showing us the right way.

any explanation, but I decided I would look past it. However, I truly was in shock at how rude and disrespectful he was the entire time. He took a phone call right in the middle of our meeting, which lasted about 10 minutes. I was still willing to look past it because who knows, maybe it was an important phone call that he couldn't get out of. However, he also flat out refused to answer any of my questions, kept playing on his cell phone, and would interrupt me EVERY TIME to talk about completely random topics.I just felt like this was clearly not important to him, and I didn't want to use someone that didn't care about our wedding whatsoever. When I emailed him later to let him know we were going with someone else and thanking him for his time, his email was just as rude as I expected. : ( I've never written a review like this but I just want to save everyone out there from wasting their time!

l turned out beautifully. The ceremony he preformed was perfect- I couldn't ask for anything better. So, all in all, I would give Stephen three of five stars for the whole experience.

decide that Mr. Hoffman is right for you please keep this in mind: he will show up to your wedding unprepared. Your rehearsal will be a waste of time unless you are in complete control and demand that run-down of the ceremony be repeated over and over until it's to *your* satisfaction. He can't keep names straight. He is unorganized and thus, whether this is intentional or not, seems flippant toward the ceremony, as if he doesn't care, and doesn't care if you care. I will finish in saying that the ceremony went well only when we had to scramble to get him what he was supposed to read for the ceremony. He "forgot" it at his office.

o a church, I would have rather used a minister, however for such a short notice little connection, Stephen Hoffman did a great job. He was very unique, but entertaining. He was fantastic at working around our schedule.

is a great speaker.

act periodically to see if I need anything or had questions! Highly recommend!
