A Simple Ceremony

ly no problem doing that. We also had her help out with a rehearsal the day before. My entire bridal party was all men and she helped us figure out the best way to get 6 guys down the aisle without it looking corny. It ended up raining on the day of our wedding, so all the outdoor rehearsing we did had to be tweaked for an indoor ceremony, but once again, Stacey did a great job managing everyone. I really liked that she asked all the guests to silence their phones, pronounced both our names properly, and asked how we would like to be announced right after the marriage. She didn't just assume we wanted to be announced as Mr and Mrs Trower (which I absolutely did not want). Bottom line, Stacey is awesome at her job and is very willing to work with you to give you a beautiful ceremony.

no to a different officiant after meeting him). She was prompt, professional, and several people after the ceremony commented how well-run the ceremony was. She also came to our rehearsal and made sure everyone was prepared for the next day. She's great, especially if you're looking for a non-religious ceremony.

s. It was definitely "us". Thanks Stacey!

smoothly. In my mind it couldn't have gone better. Bravo Stacey!!

a general Google search. She was very easy to get in contact with by both phone and email. She answered all of my questions prior to choosing her, and was very helpful throughout the planning process and even since the wedding. I found finding an officiant to just be an awkward process in general... To have to find someone you don't know to preside over one of your most memorable days and to make it seem personable just felt uncomfortable to me. BUT I really liked Stacey for allowing us the ability to personalize our day as much as possible. She had 5 or 6 templates to choose from and you can make changes/suggestions as you wished. We read through each section in each template and just starred the ones we liked most and pieced it together from there. We sent her "our story" off of our wedding website and she weaved it in seamlessly to the ceremony. Her templates are also non-religious. She also gave us a copy of the readings. She provided us with a lot of input for ceremony timeline. We also had our 4 month old son with us at the altar and she did very well keeping us at the center when the baby was making noises. The $400 included the rehearsal and ceremony (I can't remember if it included travel or not) and she does all the licensing information for you after you pick it up from the courthouse! Very much worth the money. Wouldn't think twice about recommending her!

y that felt like us. Her personal touches made it even better. Several guests commented how great of a job they thought she did with our ceremony. We're so glad Stacey was a part of our wedding day!

d relaxed (something that is needed when planning a wedding). Stacy honestly went above and beyond to make our day amazing. She even made maps from the wedding to the reception for our guests the night before! I don't know what we have done without her! Thank you Stacy!!

ance could hear her perfectly. The sample ceremonies and readings are great, and we easily found a mix and match ceremony that fit us well. I would definitely recommend her!

ceremony so very memorable and special to us for the awesome readings and literature she had put together. My husband and I are not religious and had discussed in the past while attending weddings that we want our readings and ceremony message to be something that actually has meaning for us. We knew we would not be getting married in a church, but all the ceremonies we had ever been to were religious and we weren't sure how to make the ceremony our own. Stacey did an AWESOME job helping us with this - she has several sample ceremonies and readings to reference on her website to help you piece together a beautiful ceremony that is all your own and that speaks to you and your spouse! I would recommend Stacey very highly. She is a pleasure to work with and ensures you make the most of your ceremony and your big day.

ove", personalized as it was to tell the story of my husband and me, was so perfect. When reading the rough drafts she sent to me, I would laugh out loud at the intense "That's IT! That's perfect!" feelings it inspired. I am also not a weepy kind of girl, but I teared up reading it, and when Stacey performed the ceremony, there wasn't a dry eye. The humor in the ceremony that leavened the sentimental bits, the references to both real scientists and science fiction, it was all so perfect for a couple of geeks who met on a silly game online, and had packed the room with nerds of a similar bent for the ceremony. I can't recommend her highly enough! If I could give her 10 stars out of 5, I would.
