le process and the guidance she provided on the ceremony script and details. The day of our wedding, she was so engaging with the guests and really set us at ease before going down the aisle. Even the license signing and process was so smooth and we received everything in the mail within a few weeks. I couldn't have asked for a better officiant for our wedding, and I would highly recommend her to every couple looking to get married!
