"Valerie married us in November of this year and she did an absolutely wonderful job. Over time she got to know both my husband and I and she has such a wonderful personality and is very easy to talk to. Most importantly Valerie did a phenomenal job creating our wedding ceremony. She captured our 14 years of dating and made it come to life in a beautiful ceremony that brought me to tears. Valerie was also so very helpful in creating organization in our ceremony which is a god send when as a bride you have a million things going on. Thank you Valerie for making our day so special. We appreciate you so much!"

"I (mother of the bride) was looking everywhere for a officiant for my daughter’s October wedding. I literally looked for months & couldn’t find one that fit my daughter & her fiancé’s personality. Finally about 2 months before the wedding we were introduced to Valerie. WOW…we ALL knew immediately she was the one. Valerie is so personable, fun & really gets to know the couple as a real couple. She works so hard to make sure that the whole ceremony & vows are steered directly to the couple & their personalities. Everything was perfect!!
She is the best for anyone’s big day!!!!"

The best thing anyone could do is pick Val for their wedding! She is made for this!"
