Meaghan + Andrew, Yosemite, July 2022

We are so happy we chose Amanda to be our wedding officiant! Amanda was thoughtful and skilled in personalizing our ceremony, right from our first planning meeting.  It was clear that she is super experienced, and we were confident the entire time that our wedding ceremony was going to be perfect. 

We really appreciated that she had  us fill out a questionnaire about how we envisioned our ceremony,  and was able to translate our list of disconnected thoughts into something that turned out to be a beautifully crafted  story.  It felt really special to hear Amanda tell our story at the ceremony, just like we discussed  in our planning meetings.  

She was also really helpful and open in reviewing the vows that we wote. Sharing them with each other at our ceremony  was one of  our favorite parts of our wedding day. 

Amanda was a lifesaver when we needed someone to coordinate our guests before the ceremony.  Since our wedding was small, in a remote location in a national park, and we didn’t have any other pre-planned wedding coordination, we were especially thankful that Amanda was there for us and was able to guide our guests and the wedding party during the ceremony.  

Our wedding truly felt like “us,” in a place that was inspiring and meaningful, and with our closest friends and family. Amanda’s grounding, calming and confident presence helped everyone stay connected to the meaning.  We felt secure knowing Amanda had our backs, and are so grateful for her time, care, knowledge and skill every step of the way.
