*as of 10/9 this situation has not been resolved and alan has yet to refund a dime*…read more posting my experience to yelp to protect and warn all future couples from using this horrendous company. IN MY EXPERIENCE, if I could give zero stars I would. Our experience with great officiants was horrible from start to finish. Their office is incredibly unorganized, had to re-explain to us how to fill out their own application multiple times for the marriage license when all the confusion was due to their incorrect wording on their own application. Second on the wedding day, the officiant Alan shows up with a piece of paper for us to sign which he would mail in. About a week after the wedding I get a notice from the county that there was a giant red stain on the application and they couldn't process it. So after all of this me and my husband aren't even married on our wedding day. A day that we can never get back. The one day that all of our family and friends were present in one place to witness us. I can never get that back. That was back in June. Now it's almost halfway through September and I never received a license. which Alan promised would be coming in the mail weeks ago. I still don't know if I'm married. I sent great officiants another message expressing our frustration in the situation and their office responds to me with an 800 number and asks me to let THEM know what the delay is about. I want my $800 back. after all of this headache, I'm not even married? and your office can't help me figure out what's going on when you are the reason that we're not married in the first place??? no instead you send me an 800 number and ask me to get back to you about what the delay is. The delay that GREAT OFFICIANTS caused. administrative mistakes aside, the speech that he gave for our ceremony was completely embarrassing and you can tell that he made zero effort. He kept mentioning multiple times that my husband and I enjoy eating. Literally mentioned it at least 10 times. It's like he took the one thing that he paid attention to on our phone call that interested us and plugged it into a bunch of blank spaces in some generic recycled speech. do not use the service!!! you will end up having to get remarried and paying for it by yourself months later.

It was only me, my mom, my baby, and husband. I uploaded photos... I chose not to purchase extras or florals and just look at my backdrop!! . I chose the bohemian look and it was such a dream. Marni and Shaunte were ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL... So helpful, kind, and sweet! The photographer, Michael, what an amazing personality and just person all around! He was making us laugh and smile the entire time.. he is such a natural with his camera.. he made us feel so good and the shots he got were fantastic..

In 2011 we used the services of Pastor Larry to have a nondenominational service for our father. He listened carefully to the details of our father's life story and accomplishments and gracefully added appropriate favorite sayings and anecdotes we chose and some he offered to us to choose. He guided the service and cues for music, family speeches and the releasing of the doves we wanted. Everything he said was thoroughly thought through and all were filled with our father's warm spirit. Again in 2014, we searched for several months to find only Larry to officiate for our mother's service as his contacts had changed. He took the time and listened well again to her journey and guided us through another heartwarming and personal celebration, gracing our mother with a deserving and lovely service that all denominations could relate to. Because of her long years with Alzheimers in the last years of her life, it was important to us that our mothers' accomplishments in the special lifetime she had lived were brought out and remembered well. The attendees at each of our parents memorials were extremely complimentary and touched with many remarks to my brother, sister and I on how they were very impressed that the services could not have portrayed their lives and journeys any better and they felt very uplifted instead of saddend at the end of our loved ones journeys, as did all of our family.

I called a couple of places in the area super last minute (we decided to get married and set the date two weeks later) which didn't give us a ton of options. With that being said, a quick google search brought up the wedding center and I was blown away by the pictures and availability. The evening I called to inquire about dates, everyone was extremely helpful and dedicated to finding the right time/date. Once we found one that worked, we booked and payed everything. We also ordered the photo package which is DEFINITELY worth it, my family and friends enjoyed the ceremony without worrying about pictures. To say everyone cried is an understatement. Our officiant was the best and truly spoke to everyone in the ceremony and it resonated beautifully. The photographer spent a good amount of time making sure we got a photo with everyone and accommodated any picture requests. I cannot reiterate that the location has everything already set up. You walk in and everything is perfect. That took so much worry off of everyone and we really enjoyed the experience. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Also price was perfect! Definitely a great place. It also looks like a castle!!!

From the beginning, his approach was so helpful and straightforward. When it came to constructing the script for the ceremony, we had dozens of customizable, beautifully written options to choose from. And since we were involved in selecting excerpts in a collaborative way with Eric, we really felt like the ceremony was true to us. The script is one thing, the experience of having Eric officiate on the day is another! He arrived promptly and immediately put us at ease with his gentle and charming nature. He had excellent advice before the ceremony so that my husband and I could be fully present and engage with one another. This advice made the ceremony so intimate and shook us out of our jitters completely. The ceremony itself was so poignant, moving and a major highlight of the day. Eric spoke beautifully and brought the words on the page to life. You know that he loves what he does because the passion pours out of him. Our guests were all in tears and commented that ours was the most moving ceremony they had ever experienced. It's hard to be objective, but they were echoing our own feelings. What we experienced was so rare and beautiful and we couldn't have had a better leader in Eric. Thank you so much for making our day so special!
