We hired Elegant Events to officiate our wedding, and boy were we happy we did! As two woman getting married in the state of Florida, we weren't really sure how the process of getting an officiant would go. We were referred to Elegant Events by one of our other vendors, and Betty immediately answered all of our questions and was very responsive to our emails. We hired Allen to be our officiant, and he did a wonderful job!! He was so sweet and really was exactly what we were looking for to find in the person that would be standing up there with us as we said our "I Do's" :)
In hindsight, as we just received our pictures back last night and noticed this, the only thing I wish was different was that both our names were spelled wrong on the binder that Allen read off of. So now in all of our photos at the alter you see "Kaitlin & Brandy" instead of "Katelin & Brandi." During the Ceremony, Allen accidently said "Candy" instead of "Brandi", but that was humorous and we all laughed so if anything it was nice because it helped calm our nerves, but this is something a little more permanent as it is in a lot of our important pictures (especially zoomed in ones of our hands when we are putting on rings). I am sure this was an oversight, and in the grand scheme of things is pretty minor, but I wish there was a little more attention paid to this detail on their parts. Didn't ruin the wedding or photos (not everything can go right in a wedding), but just something that I would recommend to other brides to check for so it doesn't happen in your wedding as well.
Other than that, we truly did have a great experience with Elegant Events, and if we had to go back and choose an officiant all over, Allen would definitely be the one that we pick :)
Thanks Betty and Allen for helping to make our day special! read more
