    Kathy is a wonderful officiant. She made this day extra special. She made sure we had our vows ready and she did not have a problem to write it and she also did a booklet for us to keep. We have our ceremony English and Spanish. I will never forget her heart warming ceremony .

    My wife and I got married last year, and we weren't sure who we wanted to officiate. We couldn't think of any friends or family who would be able to do this special thing for us, and so my wife found Heartfelt Weddings online. Kathy quickly and warmly responded to our queries, and soon enough, we had an officiant and were well on our way to a beautiful, vibrant, and yes, heartfelt wedding. Kathy was an absolute delight to work with, taking into consideration our ceremony requests while also giving us plenty of framework and guidelines to help us along. She provided us with sample ceremonies that we could choose from and customize. She heavily encouraged us to write our own vows, and she even printed them on beautiful high-quality paper for us to read. She was a pro when it came to dealing with a wedding rehearsal when about a third of our wedding party was missing, and in the end, she brought a wonderful, peaceful, and loving vibe to our special day - and she gave us a bound copy of the entire ceremony! What stood out the most for us, however, was how open Kathy was as we planned the wedding. As my wife and I are both female, we understand that our wedding was a little less conventional. Kathy was thoughtful and considerate when it came to the structure and modifications of the ceremonial text and proceedings. She was very respectful when it came to understanding our wishes and the traditions we wanted to bring to the ceremony. It was a blessing to have an officiant who was so willing to work with us, and not just for us. My wife and I cannot endorse Kathy and Heartfelt Weddings enough. Truly the perfect officiant for your wedding. If I could give more than five stars, I would!

    Five plus stars for Heartfelt Weddings! Larry was our officiant on our wedding day at the Observation Post Presidio in San Francisco. We met with him in advance and we knew right away that he would be perfect to be part of our special day. He was very detailed on giving us instructions on what to do during rehearsal as well as the wedding day. Our family and friends complimented on how beautiful the ceremony was. Larry sent to us several ceremony samples in advance and we customized it based on what we were looking for. We are really happy that we met Larry. We definitely recommend Heartfelt Weddings to anyone looking for an officiant to make their wedding a memorable experience. Here's a highlight video of our wedding day: https://vimeo.com/169437387

    We were so lucky to be referred to Heartfelt Weddings! Kathy officiated our wedding on the beach in Half Moon Bay, and it was exactly what we wanted. Kathy made everything very easy for us. She gave us samples of vows and encouraged us to tweak them in the way that worked for us. She was quick to communicate with us, and if she was busy, she would promptly send an email stating she was out of town and would respond soon. There was never any anxiety or lack of communication. The day of our wedding, Kathy and her husband arrived to the ceremony site early and ready to roll. I loved our vows! She provided us with a bound book and informed me as soon as she got word that our marriage license was ready for pickup. I am so happy we were referred to Heartfelt Weddings! Thank you for making our ceremony so special, Kathy :)

    This review is long overdue, but my wife and I were reflecting on our wedding with our family, and…read moreour family was raving about Elizabeth and we knew it was time to write it out. My wife and I were married in Bodega Bay on May 18th, 2024 and Elizabeth was such a huge reason why our wedding was so special. She got to know my wife and I and was patient with us while we reflected on our relationship. She provided us with insight and examples of ceremony ideas, which really helped us figure out what was important to us. Elizabeth created a story that truly captured my wife and I, and we could not be more grateful for her! She even made copies of our ceremony for us and our moms. During our ceremony, we had a brother read song lyrics, Elizabeth read a poem, and together my wife and I planted a tree using soil from our childhood homes, and Elizabeth made sure everything ran smoothly. We still have people tell us that our ceremony was special, and we have Elizabeth to thank for that. She is wonderful and we highly recommend!

    Initially, my now-husband and I only had one option for who would perform our wedding ceremony -- a…read moregood friend who lives out of the country. We wanted someone who we felt really understood who we are as individuals and together. Well, our original wedding date was scheduled for early May 2020, so that didn't happen. When we were finally able to reschedule, it was still before people were freely traveling internationally, so our friend was out of the picture and we had no second choice. Defeated, we looked through the recommendations from our wedding planner and only one piqued my interest -- Elizabeth River. I was convinced that she was the best choice just from going through her website, but I was still reluctant that someone we didn't even know could get to know enough about us in just a couple months to be able to create a ceremony that felt personal and reflected who we are. Proceeding the wedding, our Zoom prep meetings with Elizabeth were so much fun! She was effortless to talk to and made us feel so at ease. It was like we were talking to someone we had known a long time. At this point, I absolutely knew that Elizabeth was the right choice, but given every wedding ceremony I've ever sat through, I wasn't expecting anything too original. Well I was dead wrong. The first draft of the ceremony that Elizabeth sent us was so beautiful and captured everything we could've hoped for and more! After the ceremony on our wedding day, several guests asked us who Elizabeth was to us and how long we had known her. Most people assumed she must have been a longtime family friend because of how perfectly the ceremony represented us. It was personal, funny, deeply meaningful, and perfectly tailored to us and what we wanted to express to each other and to our guests. Before we met Elizabeth we didn't put too much importance on the ceremony, but it ended up being just as magical as the rest of our day. Even now, I'm still in disbelief over how special our ceremony was. After our wedding, I wanted to print out our vows to frame but hadn't gotten around to it. On our one year anniversary, Elizabeth sent us a beautiful keepsake copy that we will use to frame! I am so proud of our vows -- they are word for word what my husband and I would like to remind each other of through the good and bad. We are forever grateful to Elizabeth for creating a ceremony for us that surpassed anything we ever thought possible. It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway -- I love my friend, but I am eternally thankful that we had the honor of Elizabeth creating and officiating our wedding ceremony for us. Thank you, Elizabeth!

She took away all the stress the day of our wedding and everything went flawless!

From the very first call, she made us feel safe, supported, and taken care of, something that meant the world to us after such a stressful experience. She jumped in immediately, learned every detail of our day and somehow managed to organize everything with total calm and confidence. She was not only an incredible planner but also such a kind friend to me through the process. I never once felt like a burden, even with all the chaos that comes with planning a wedding. On the day itself, she ran the show flawlessly. So many of our guests went out of their way to tell us how smoothly everything went and how professional and composed she was. Every single detail was handled amazingly and all I had to do was enjoy the day. You can tell from the start how much experience she has and how gifted she really is! During our reception, I asked my mom to bustle my dress but she was enjoying the music (which I'm glad she was having the chance to) and Tina pulled me aside and bustled my dress without any direction or hesitation! I was so shocked because the seamstress gave me a ten minute long video and very specific instructions and Tina did it in 5 mins, no video, just skill. If you're looking for someone who is not only amazing at what she does but also genuinely cares about you as a person, Tina is the one. She took one of the most stressful situations imaginable and turned it into something beautiful and easy. I can't recommend her enough.

I'm a pretty hands-on, detail oriented person, but I feel I would have spiraled without Sarah. She's grounded and super helpful. I really appreciated our video calls and in-person venue walkthroughs. She took detailed notes about all our preferences and made sure the day-of was perfect. With her at the helm, I got to be a jellyfish and just float along and enjoy my wedding! I know people say you can't have a perfect wedding day, but I really felt like I did. I know that would not have been possible without Sarah and the A Touch of Grace team. We had 3 different venues, and setup/teardown needed at each. Sarah made sure to pickup everything we prepared a couple days ahead of the wedding, and dropped off everything after so we didn't have to worry. Logistically it was quite difficult, but I don't think I thought about any of that the day of. Sarah and her team also styled the detail items I prepared so beautifully too. It was just a magical day. Thank you! I'd recommend Sarah without hesitation.

And on a budget!!! My husband and I are proactive but busy. I found the venue because that was the most time sensitive thing, but then literally everything else we just procrastinated. Enter Sarah, who recognized and affirmed our goals, budget, design thoughts, and most importantly, kept us on track when she realized she was going to be doing the heavy lifting cause we had no idea what we were doing. I love her and would recommend her (and have) to anyone looking to plan a wedding in the Bay Area. We said florals and photographers weren't the highest priority and low budget but somehow she came through w/ amazing flors for 2k and a 10hr photographer for 3k. We had a DJ, 2 sites (city hall and a country club), and constant communication, and threw a hell of a wedding for 50k in the Bay Area!!! Sarah can work with you however you want. If you want to be super involved she'll meet with you and work with you to find ideas and things to execute. If you want her to drive the planning, she'll have entire timelines and vendors made and lined up and you barely have to lift a finger. If I had to plan a wedding again I would choose her in a heartbeat. Additionally, we are both Chinese and wanted some Asian aspects (including a tea ceremony) in our wedding as well. Sarah handled that with no issue at all, and honestly could not be happier with her service. She does not charge enough for how much she's done for us.

After scouring…read moreYelp and Google and coming across countless options that were not a fit, we had almost given up hope. Luckily, we discovered Ryan's page about a month and a half out from our wedding! Ryan's officiating services are unbeatable. From the moment we met him, we were relieved that we had someone young, well spoken and very professional. We were asked a series of questions to get to know us, but our conversation flowed so naturally that the questions just answered themselves through our normal discourse. We had many laughs, tears of emotion, collaborative moments, emotional moments, therapeutic moments, you name it! Our meetings felt comforting and genuine and I 100% guarantee that we could not have had that experience with another person. Ryan met with us very often prior to our wedding to make sure that the final script was right. He played well into our fun and joyful moments as well as our romantic side. Great and friendly sense of humor and a neutral perspective. My wife's side is Buddhist, my side is Catholic but his speech respected both sides without issue. He got to know us very well and it reflected in his speech. Our wedding was really small and intimate with only our immediate family present, but somehow it felt as if Ryan were one of us. We wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Highly recommend Ryan!! Thanks.
