"Ashlee is truly amazing at what she does! She married my husband and I in June 2021. From the second we spoke I knew I wanted her to marry us. She was so welcoming and warm and made this part of the wedding process so easy for us. Her attention to detail made our ceremony so personal and special. She really was able to capture all of the moments that led up to our marriage. I would 100% recommended her to anyone and everyone! It’s obvious she was made to do this!"

"My husband and I could not have been happier with Ashlee's officiating services- she was absolutely wonderful and made our small ceremony feel extremely special. Ashlee has a true gift of being able to connect with people of all backgrounds and has such a positive and vibrant personality. We had great communication leading up to the wedding. Ashlee also provided us with examples and a guide on how to write our own vows which we found very helpful! We could not have asked for a better officiant and I would recommend Ashlee's services to any couple!"

E & P

"9 months later and we still get flooded with compliments on Ashlee and the ceremony that she created. Ashlee is an artist and a storyteller in the purest form, not to mentioning a glowing presence with the kindest soul. She paints pictures of love with her words. She listened to us, she learned about us, and she perfectly reflected us with the ceremony that she created. Ashlee left a mark on our lives forever, and I am lucky to not only have had the opportunity to have her officiate our wedding, but to now call her a friend."

Ashlee's professionalism, organization, and rare ability to really hear what people say showed during our meetings and our ceremony. She prepped us with homework, explained our options, and encouraged us to really make it our own. Ashlee not only wrote our ceremony, but also stepped up as a day-of coordinator, ensuring we did not have to worry about any details. We were able to get ready for the wedding without any stress because of her grounded nature and attention to detail. And she did all of this even though she was moving to Hawaii two days later! We feel so fortunate for Ashlee - she helped us start off our wedding, and more importantly our marriage, in the most beautiful way possible."
