“Vanessa was beyond phenomenal. We were almost an hour late to our elopement and she was there with a huge smile on her face! Not only was she there, but she also brought her husband who was one of our witnesses AND she helped carry so many things! She also made sure every detail previous to the big day was seamless and so easy to work with her. We wanted to change a few things and she gladly changed for us! Anyone looking for an officiant - look no further! We love Vanessa!!!”

“After weeks of searching for an officiant and being turned down due to our remote location. I found Vanessa and it changed the trajectory of my whole wedding in an amazing way! She custom wrote a script for us and made our day absolutely wonderful. Not only an amazing officiant but an incredibly beautiful human being. Did I mention she is also an accomplished potter??? Thank you!”

“If there was a way to give Vanessa a million stars, we would! She was an absolute hoot to work with from start to finish. She nailed EVERYTHING in our wedding script that we wanted and really managed to capture the warmth and love we hope to put out in the world. She also didn’t mind that we asked her to hike up a mountain with the wind whipping all around at sunrise! Her communication was spot on, and I can’t say enough about just how please we are. Thank you, Vanessa, for helping make our day so special!”

“Vanessa was INCREDIBLE from day one. She was so easy to communicate with and helped to make our special day so much fun. Aside from her beautiful and eloquent service, Vanessa was willing to take the 30-minute hike with us in the freezing cold and dark to get to our location. She went above and beyond just her officiant responsibilities and by the end of the day we truly felt like she was one of our friends. You can tell that Vanessa has a passion for what she does, and we are beyond thankful we stumbled across her because our special day would not have been the same without her. The *now* Howards.“
