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!

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

My wife and I were looking for an officiant for our SF City Hall wedding in July. 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.
