    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!

    My son and soon to be daughter in law asked my 11 year old twin granddaughters to create and…read moreperform their wedding ceremony being held in Colorado. Of course they were thrilled, however had no idea where to start. I reached out to my beautiful friend Melissa for advice. Melissa was amazing! She asked me a few questions about my son, Delana and the girls and came up with a ceremony that was perfect in every way. It was so special. She came up with something that was inclusive of everyone and embraced this beautiful blended family. My son Brian and his bride Delana were very happy with the outcome. I can not sat enough good things about the person that is Melissa. From the minute you hear her voice you are immediately at ease knowing that at the other end of the line is a smile that goes on for days. As long as I have known her (about 15 years) never have I left her presence felling short of blessed. Thank you my friend for all you do and just being you!

    It will be a bit of a challenge to express in words how grateful we are for Melissa, but I will try…read moremy hardest! From our first conversation with Melissa, well before our wedding, we instantly felt connected to her. She started off by facilitating an over-the-phone conversation to learn all she could about my husband and I's relationship. Melissa spent well over an hour on the phone with me while she asked the most valuable questions, and conversed with me as if we had known each other for a lifetime. We laughed, I cried, she absolutely lifted me up with her positivity and genuine charm. Throughout the planning process Melissa stayed in touch, checking in on me frequently, and upholding her positive loving attitude the entire time. She is not just an individual you hire to officiate on the day of your wedding or ceremony, she makes it her mission to find out the "why" and then applies it by adding her own unique ideas into the ceremony, tying in very important factors in the relationship. Melissa is full of grace, dedication and true support. If you need help writing vows, she will dedicate time to help you find the words to express your feelings. In my moments of fear and anxiety she was supportive, validating, and genuine in talking me through my worries. We are so grateful that we found her, and could not have asked for a better experience. I could go on and on about all the things we love about her, but I think you get the idea. Oh, but I cannot forget, her sense of humor and her love for smiling and laughing is contagious! You'll see what I mean

    We had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Saundra as our wedding officiant. From the…read morevery beginning, she was nothing but helpful and supportive throughout the entire process. All of our meetings with her were incredibly informative, she guided us step by step on what to expect when getting married and made everything feel smooth and stress free. Saundra was always available whenever we had questions, and her communication was excellent. We truly appreciated how responsive and reliable she was. It also meant so much to us that she took care of delivering our marriage license to the city hall clerks and even provided a tracking number for added security. The ceremony she delivered was absolutely beautiful. We loved her questionnaires and the way she used them to craft something so personal and meaningful. She really took the time to get to know us as a couple, which made the ceremony feel authentic and special. On top of that, she brought such a fun, warm energy while still respecting everything we wanted for our wedding. We highly recommend Saundra to anyone looking for an officiant who is caring, organized, and truly dedicated to making your day unforgettable. Saundra, thank you so much for everything you did for us. We are incredibly grateful for your support and for helping make our wedding day so special.

    Saundra was recommended to us by our wedding planner and we were glad we choose her. We were…read morelooking for a more casual and non-religious officiant for our wedding and Saundra was more than willing to accommodate our preferences. Our first intro call was extremely informative. She laid out her process and her experiences with other couples and different types of weddings she's officiated in the past. It was clear she was an experienced officiant from the well-established process she had. Her communication was very effective. Her meetings were tailored toward new couples who have zero experience with weddings and she was always responsive to any questions we had through email or text. We received many compliments about the Ceremony that she officiated. Saundra had developed 90% of the script herself and personalized it based on our preferences. Her delivery and energy was less officiant-like and more casual/home-like which was what we were hoping for. I definitely would recommend Saundra as an officiant for any wedding. Her support and preparation for our wedding left no ambiguity during the ceremony.
