Shelby was absolutely amazing! She crafted a personalized wedding script for us that was just perfect. Shelby was professional, punctual, and helped calm our pre-ceremony jitters. I would recommend Shelby to anyone needing an officiant!

Shelby was great! We were out of an officiant just two days before our ceremony and Shelby came through for us big time. She made the process very easy. She responded quickly, was very professional, and arrived early. She even took a video of our first look for us to be able to share with our families. Highly recommend her!

If I could give a 10 star review I would. Shelby did an amazing job officiating my wedding. The ceremony was perfect thanks to her. She was on time, and patient with my gigantic family scrambling to be ready on time. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a perfect ceremony. She helped us with our vows, read a really cute poem, and even subtly reminded me to breathe a few times. Thank you Shelby for making it the best night of my life, and for being there for my wife and I on one of the most memorable nights of my life.

Details: Wedding • Non-denominational (mentions God) • 51 - 100 guests • Help writing vows will not be needed • English • Officiant will not be needed at the rehearsal • Officiant does not need to be present at rehearsal

Shelby did a wonderful job for us officiating our wedding. I knew we were in great hands from the moment we spoke during our initial call. She was extremely helpful from beginning to end, and even after! She is professional, caring, understanding, and overall just amazing. She made our ceremony perfect. Thanks Shelby!

Shelby was wonderful and a calm and kind presence on our wedding day. She was flexible throughout our elopement planning and was punctual and professional! Her voice and overall demeanor was perfect for our intimate ceremony, regardless of crashing waves and other distractions along the beach where we married. She went above and beyond to make it to our difficult-to-reach location with no complaints. We’re so thankful to have found her to officiate!
