    I wish I had attended a wedding she officiated before hiring her for mine. My venue had her listed…read moreas a preferred option and said she was good. I spoke to a friend, and he said she married him and he was happy enough with her services, so we went with her. My fiancé and I met with her, and she asked maybe 6 questions about us, and said she would write our ceremony and send us a copy to review. When we got the copy, I thought it was a joke. When I realized this wasn't sent in error, I felt physically ill. It wasn't personalized to reflect us or our relationship at all, the flow was horrible, and I believe it was a cut and paste job from a few internet sources. We opted to write our own ceremony, which was heartfelt and definitely represented us and our personalities. I was hesitant to send it and ask that it be used instead of what was written for us, but Montana agreed to read it for us. Fast forward to our wedding day. Montana showed up and appeared to be irritated. She asked where the marriage license was and asked if the money was in the envelope. She asks for a $100 deposit, but wants the rest paid in cash on the wedding day. I can only assume this is to avoid taxes on the other $200+ we paid. I can't come up with any other logical reason cash payment would be mandatory. During the ceremony, Montana told me I was standing in the wrong spot, even though venue staff told me which side of the altar to stand on. During the ceremony, I couldn't listen to what was being said. It wasn't because I was worried I was going to get emotional. It was because she was reading it like she was reading a children's story. Crazy inflection every few words. I had several guests comment about it after the wedding, and it wasn't to say that it was well done. When the ceremony was over, she quickly left. When we got our wedding photos, I discovered that in every single photo, she had RBF. She looked like someone made her drink a cup of lemon juice. I don't know if the attitude is typical, she was having a bad day, was unhappy with the little bit of humor in our ceremony, or was not happy to do a same sex wedding (which she previously said she was fine with). Whatever the issue, I regret going with Montana, as it caused some unnecessary tension on our wedding day. I should have gone with my gut from the beginning. Lesson learned.

    I found Bird of Paradise Weddings (and specifically the officiant, Montana Meadows) after a quick…read moreGoogle search. I'm surprised Montana doesn't have any Yelp reviews yet... because SHE IS WONDERFUL. My husband and I eloped in Phoenix in January 2014, and we hired Montana to officiate our "ceremony." (She called it a sign-and-file, because it was a very short ceremony!) She was courteous, professional, and friendly. Our sign-and-file consisted of a sweet intro from Montana, a reading, ring exchange, "I do's," and of course the kiss. We are not religious at all, so it was very nice to have an officiant who respected our preferences and ideas. Montana was 100% willing to customize her officiant duties to suit our needs. I think that is very important for anyone looking for a personalized, distinctive ceremony. I should have written up a Yelp review ages ago, but I was reminded to do so again after-- get this!-- we received an anniversary card from Montana! It was a personal note, thoughtful and handwritten... an excellent move on her part, and so special for us to be reminded of how much fun our day was, thanks in part to Montana Meadows and Bird of Paradise Weddings! I would definitely recommend this business to anyone looking to get hitched in AZ!

    We are so incredibly grateful for the beautiful ceremony that Anthony Montana delivered on our…read morewedding day. From the start, he brought such a warm, genuine presence, along with an energy and excitement that made the moment feel so special and alive. Anthony took the time to truly understand us and our faith, and it was reflected in every word he spoke. The ceremony felt deeply personal, Christ-centered, and perfectly aligned with who we are as a couple--it never felt scripted or generic. Our guests are still talking about how heartfelt and meaningful it was. He created an atmosphere that was both sacred and joyful, and guided everything so seamlessly. We wholeheartedly recommend Anthony Montana to any couple looking for an officiant who will honor your relationship and your faith in such a powerful and authentic way.

    Wow! If you need a professional officiant or any wedding service in Arizona, I would highly…read morerecommend Better Together Matrimonies. Our wedding venue recommended this company, and we chose Pastor Ray Jones to officiate our wedding. Not only was Ray professional and well equipped to officiate our wedding, he became FAMILY. He connected with us a few times prior to the wedding and really built rapport with us before our big day. Ray really made our wedding day special, and we are so happy with the outcome of our ceremony. Tony followed up a few days after to confirm our marriage license was submitted successfully. Overall, this was a great experience and I would recommend Better Together Matrimonies to any couple who is tying the knot in Arizona!
