We were so happy we chose Your Wedding Day to officiate our intimate ceremony! We met with Vanessa twice over Zoom to go over the details and personalize our ceremony, and she was wonderful to work with. Unfortunately, Vanessa had an unexpected emergency on our wedding day that was completely out of her control. She contacted us as soon as possible, and the transition was seamless. Peter stepped in right away and did a beautiful job officiating our ceremony. He was warm, thoughtful, and made our ceremony very special. We are so grateful to both Vanessa and Peter for making such an important part of our wedding day so memorable. It was a pleasure getting to know them both, and we would absolutely recommend Your Wedding Day!

My husband and I became engaged at the end of October, 2023 and chose a wedding date of January 20, 2024. We had to quickly plan and find vendors and when we found Vanessa and foun...

d out she was available, we knew right away it was a no brainer and that she would be perfect to officiate our wedding. She is so patient, kind and you can tell she absolutely loves what she does. The written ceremony was beautiful and she listened to all of our thoughts and feelings before she wrote it and made sure after our rehearsal that we were happy with every single detail. One thing that stood out was the night before our wedding for our rehearsal. Our rehearsal was supposed to be at 4:00 but we got started probably 30-40 minutes later than originally planned, which was due to us still setting up. At the time when Vanessa arrived (early), we were still trying to figure out the arch and I was saying we could mess around with it later but she became involved and was so helpful when it came to how we got our final look for our arch, which was absolutely stunning. Thank you Vanessa so so much for being a part of such a memorable, important moment in our lives and we absolutely appreciate everything that you did for us. Wishing you continued blessings :)
