Need an Officiant or DOC- She’s Your Gal!

We first saw Stephanie at our friend's wedding last year. She performed their ceremony beautifully; we liked her presence and her style as an officiant. When the time came for us to get married, it was pretty easy to choose who we'd like to perform it. As an LGBT couple, we were so happy to know that Stephanie celebrated love in all forms, and we wouldn't have to ask if she would be open to officiating. Our wedding vendor selections were about supporting small, women-owned, LGBTQIA+-owned, veteran-owned, and Latina-owned businesses, and Stephanie ticked multiple of those boxes for us. Since we did most of our wedding planning, we knew we needed a day of coordinator, and we're so lucky that was part of Stephanie's wheelhouse. A few weeks before our wedding, she scheduled walk-throughs with our ceremony and reception sites, asked us questions we didn't know we needed answers for, and helped us decide what would make the most sense for our wedding while making sure we still felt like it would be "us" Every suggestion offered by her was, "Traditionally, XYZ is done at this time or in this order. How does that sound to you guys? Would you like to change it?" We never felt pushed into a decision. We felt completely supported and guided throughout our process. I am a very Type A person and we had more than a handful of decorations for our reception, so I was nervous that what we envisioned for our tables wouldn't come out exactly as planned, but let me tell you I was WRONG, everything came out as we had envisioned. I sent her photos of what I wanted our setups to look like, a thrown-together Word document with makeshift tables and the order they'd be in, and she followed it to the letter. It was such a relief to walk into our reception not wondering, "Is it going to look good? I wonder if they put this or that out." EVERYTHING was just as I had described or sent pictures of, EVERYTHING. As an officiant, can I say, prepare for the waterworks; there wasn't a dry eye in the house for our ceremony. Stephanie crafted a beautiful ceremony script, and it was 100% us. I could continue gushing about Stephanie, she was awesome- she's a great person and we love her for helping make our wedding everything we dreamed of and more. Your search for an officiant and/or a day of coordinator is done. Look no further- she's your gal. — Jessi H., married on 11/13/2022
