Magical & Personalized - An Eventective User from NJ

Rev. Annie isn’t just an officiant—she’s the heart of the ceremony. From our very first call, we instantly felt at ease and knew we were in the right hands. Her thoughtful and well-organized questionnaire helped us not only understand how the ceremony would flow, but also reflect on what truly mattered to us as a couple. We couldn’t do an in-person rehearsal, so we had a scheduled call instead. Honestly, nothing was missed. Annie made sure every detail was covered. On the wedding day, she showed up on time, brought great energy, and had such a calming, confident presence. Everything felt smooth and meaningful. She created an inclusive wedding that felt deeply personal and welcoming—we couldn’t have asked for more. If you're looking for someone who truly cares and will guide you through the process, book with Annie and cross one more thing off your to-do list. You won’t be disappointed.

Exceptional Rev. Annie! - An Eventective User from Dana Point, CA

We had the immense pleasure of having Rev. Annie as our wedding officiant, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the exceptional experience she provided. As soon as we relayed our plan to have a fairly quick elopement, Annie went above and beyond, walking us through a variety of scenarios, and working to understand our vision in order to create a ceremony that truly reflected our unique love story. On our wedding day, Annie crafted a magical atmosphere in our intimate setting. With her knowledge and experience, she helped us address even the tiniest of details, making our ceremony feel both personal and enchanting. Her warm, genuine and grounded presence set the perfect tone, calming any “wedding jitters” and making everyone feel welcome and involved. We were blown away by her ability to put into words such a deeply personal, unforgettable ceremony. It was truly just for us and we wouldn’t have changed a thing. Annie has a remarkable ability to blend professionalism with heartfelt emotion, and her extensive experience was evident in every moment: spoken or unspoken. Our friends and family were equally impressed, and all commented on how beautiful and touching the ceremony was. We wholeheartedly recommend Rev. Annie to anyone looking for an officiant to create an unforgettable, warm and loving experience. Thank you, Annie, for making our wedding day everything we dreamed it could be and much, much, more.

Amazing officiator and fair pricing - An Eventective User from Boise, ID

My now wife and I recently eloped to NYC to get married. Due to the short-notice of our plans, we were initially planning on getting married at the Manhattan City Clerk’s Office. However, after consulting with our photographer Cynthia Chung, we decided we should instead plan on having our ceremony somewhere else like Central Park and we needed to find an officiate. Cynthia gave us a couple of recommendations including Rev. Annie. We checked out her website and decided that we’d like to move forward with her so we reached out via her website contact form. She offers several tiers of ceremony, and we decided that for our intents and purposes we would go with her Simple Ceremony option. She quickly emailed us back and we scheduled a video-call consultation. She was extremely warm, friendly, and helpful! We told her our thoughts and ideas and what type of ceremony we were looking to have. She gave really helpful insight and advice and answered a ton of questions we had, especially regarding the legal aspects of marriage such as how to apply for and receive a marriage license. She gave several good location options and we eventually decided upon either having the ceremony on our hotel suite’s private balcony (if it was large enough) or to have it in Central Park. She even helped us come up with a primary, secondary, and tertiary plan depending on how things ended up playing out such as the location, marriage license, etc. Due to the short-notice, she already had her mid-day timeslot reserved on our wedding day, so we decided upon her morning time slot. Even choosing the second-to-cheapest offering, Annie sent us a form to fill out to further get an understanding of what we expected from the ceremony. With the Simple Service, however, you aren’t able to review the ceremony text beforehand. This was not an issue for us, and the ceremony was beautiful! On the day of the ceremony, Annie got there early to help walk us through how she was going to do the ceremony and work with me regarding the marriage license. The ceremony was very thoughtful and perfect for my wife and I. We will never forget our special day and the ceremony that Annie conducted for us. We would strongly recommend her to anyone needing a very experienced officiate, especially if you are also planning on eloping!

Incredible - An Eventective User from Dublin Ireland

We were lucky enough to find Annies services on Google. Once we got in touch, she was so helpful, kind and informative from the very start. Our small group of guests could not stop raving about how incredible the ceremony was and just the whole energy about it. We could not have picked anyone better, and if it wasn't for Annie, it would not have been the same. Thank you Annie for making our day so special and celebrating with us. J & L
