My husband and I loved working with Elaine on our wedding ceremony. She's been in this industry a…read morewhile and it shows! Which meant a lot since we were absolutely clueless. Before we signed anything, we had a quick "get to know you" type call to see if we'd be a good fit and vice versa. After we booked her, she sent over pages and pages and pages of materials for different parts of the ceremony to include and where, readings, a couples questionnaire, and even a guide on how to change your name when all is said and done, if that's your thing. Even though she has a lot of pre-written materials and a template for the ceremony, none of it felt cookie cutter, and I really appreciated the structure of it all. It felt really personalized with our content from the couples questionnaire too. Nothing will come as a surprise either - we got the script beforehand and made little edits here and there. We got so many compliments on how personalized and special our ceremony was! In addition to all of that, she walked us through what happens at each part of the ceremony, who walks in and when, when to hand off your bouquet, etc. We elected not to do a formal rehearsal, so Elaine got to our venue early to coach our wedding party and us before the ceremony began. Throughout it all, my husband and I had the best connection with Elaine and it made our ceremony that much better. It felt like a dear friend or family member married us, and my only regret is that I can't live that day over and over again. Thank you so much, Elaine! Our big day was made all that much better with your care and love and guidance :)

I am happy to provide a simple and loving ceremony for any loving couple. Maybe you are pressed for time and need a quick "no-frills" elopement.

Whatever you have in mind, let me know and I'll see what I can do to help you. I specialize in impromptu and last minute ceremonies! ​ Pacific Northwest weddings don't need to be complex religious ceremonies, and a cold public courthouse isn't your only wedding alternative. You deserve to have your wedding ceremony exactly as you want it, formal or informal, with or without all the hoopla.

We hired Betsy for the Customized Ceremony Package to act as officiant for our wedding in Sept…read more2019. I would rate Betsy a 1 out of 5 stars. She hardly communicated with us before our wedding, and her communications were not prompt. After we signed the contract with her in April, she sent us the ceremony samples (71 documents in total), and we heard from her only once more before our wedding day. In June, we sent her a draft of the text we chose for our ceremony, asking for feedback, but she did not reply, even to confirm that she received it. We followed up in August to confirm the order of the ceremony on our programs before they went to print. Her reply came, but it was three days after the programs went to print. The actual ceremony, thankfully, went okay. By then, we had handed off communications with Betsy to our day-of-coordinator. Betsy showed up on time, got briefed on ceremony logistics by our coordinator, performed our ceremony reading the draft we had sent her, and witnessed the signing of our marriage license. We opted to file the license ourselves since we could receive copies of the license immediately from the county office, and frankly by this time she hadn't earned our trust that she would file the license in a timely fashion. My wife and I were DIYing our wedding, and those who are planning their own weddings know how extremely stressful the process can be. We had hired Betsy because the services listed on the We Do I Dos website indicated that we would receive assistance and guidance with our ceremony, but we didn't. The services listed on the website that we didn't receive are: -- We can have one additional planning session several weeks before your celebration to finalize your ceremony. (We would have welcomed a discussion about our ceremony plans, but we didn't even get a reply about our draft.) -- We can provide assistance with creating personalized and heartfelt wedding vows. (We didn't receive assistance with the vows, except for receiving the ceremony samples. Much of the text included in these documents was repeated, so it's not like every document was unique.) -- We can guide you in choreographing the processional and with the placement of your attendants. (Nope. No help here. Fortunately we were able to get this done with the help of our day-of-coordinator.) -- You will receive a final draft of your ceremony approx.1 week prior to your wedding for your final approval. (Nope. No final draft received; no confirmation of our draft was made.) In summary, Betsy did perform the essential duties to get us married, but we came away with the feeling that it was just the bare minimum of effort.

Whether you are planning a regal ceremony with hundreds of guests, or a quaint little gathering I can provide the service, professionalism and quality that you desire. Let's ease some of the wedding jitters and work together to make an unforgetable moment for you and your partner. Your wedding ceremony will be in your style and in your location. It can be a non-denominational or civil ceremony reflecting your personal taste or family traditions. Simple or elaborate, formal or informal, the wedding can take place indoor or out, at a home, hotel, park or elsewhere. Occasionally couples choose a small, private ceremony in their home or garden. A couple begins by contacting us by phone or e-mail and reserving a wedding date and time. Some couples will reserve a date a year or more in advance. Other couples will call just days or weeks before a wedding. I can meet informally with most couples well before the wedding to plan the ceremony and to learn all the surrounding details e.g. size of the wedding party, music, photography, etc. Then we sketch the outlines of a ceremony and respect the current values and traditions of each couple. Each wedding is a statement of love and commitment, of deep hopes and fondest dreams. I will work with you so that your unique wedding ceremony will be perfect for you, your families and guests.
