• "Our experience with Hillary was simply fantastic. From the start, she showed incredible dedication to understanding our unique love story and crafting a personalized ceremony. Her guidance and expertise helped us remember all the important moments, and her ability to weave them together into a heartfelt speech left us truly moved. When we watched the recording of our ceremony, we were overwhelmed with joy and couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience."

    - Stephen & Sophia

  • "RJ was a great officiant for our wedding. I didn’t know a lot about what goes into creating a ceremony and he made it really easy! After he had the ceremony drafted, he ran through it with my fiancée (now wife) which was nice so we knew what to expect, ensured it was everything my we envisioned it to be and gave us an opportunity to tweak a few elements! But he still some kept some elements a surprise which was cool. Overall the ceremony was great, it brought me to tears and was an amazing part of our wedding day. I loved that he made sure to acknowledge my family who traveled all the way from Brazil, and for those who couldn’t make it from Brazil, RJ helped facilitate a Teams video call which was more special than I expected. I’m so happy we had RJ as our officiant and recommend you have him part of your big day!"

  • "Hillary is everything that we could’ve asked for in an officiant. She was very timely with her communication, always prepared, and overall just such a dream to work with. She worked with us to create a custom script that suited our personalities and the vibes of our wedding. She even worked in a chance for my aging grandfather to speak so he could be involved in the wedding ceremony. Hillary really went above and beyond, helping with things I never would’ve thought of, like printing out our vows for us last minute and showing our best man when and how to present the rings. She is a very eloquent speaker and she had our guests laughing one minute then tearing up the next (the good kind of tears!) 10/10 would recommend her to ANYONE."

    - Katherine & Alec

  • "RJ was the perfect officiant. He captured the nature of our relationship so well! RJ had a great process to get the info he needed from us to structure the ceremony (one less thing the bride + groom need to worry about). He did a good job incorporating our journey together in the perfect amount of time, as well at a great pace. He was very articulate and our guests were engaged! He was able to weave in sentiment, humor, and even some Portuguese. (He knows a few languages so he may be able to pepper in some for you too!) Our guests said that it was one of the best ceremonies they have witnessed! We were honored that he officiated our wedding and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. I highly recommend that you hire RJ to be your officiant."

    - Genevieve

  • "We reached out to Hillary about a month before our wedding, because our first officiant (a family friend) fell through. Hillary just happened to be free that weekend and it felt like fate! I knew immediately after our introductory meeting that she was the perfect officiant for us. She was so helpful over the next few weeks with detailed instructions about how to apply for our marriage license. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful and so personal to our relationship. The perfect mix of funny and heartfelt. It was the best part of our wedding and I can't thank Hillary enough for that memory!"

    - Maddy & George

  • "I loved working with Hillary! She worked with us to create a ceremony that fit us as we're non-secular and didn't want any language that seemed like a property trade. She gave us options to create our own vows or to use something she had already prepared. Our service had our own personal touch in so many ways so much so that my sister-in-law came up to us afterwards saying how much it sounded exactly like us. It was really lovely working with Hillary and I am glad she was there to work with us through the wedding licensing as well."

    - Heather & Aaron

  • "Hillary was prompt, professional, and her system with couples made for a incredibly sweet and memorable ceremony. We had a teeny tiny micro-wedding and she was totally accommodating, never made us feel like it was any less special. Highly recommend!"

    - Yaoyao and Drew

  • "Hillary is amazing at her job and I am so glad my mom found her while looking for an officiant that conducts a non-denominational/non-religious ceremony. She personalized the ceremony perfectly to what we wanted and we didn’t rehearse at all! We loved being surprised and the ceremony was short and sweet, just how we wanted. My family really appreciated how Hillary addressed the audience and family members that were not in attendance. Another amazing thing about Hillary is that she donates a portion to human rights charities of your choosing. That really spoke to me because I knew our hearts were in the same place to begin with."

    - Sydney & Sam

  • "Hillary was amazing & we are so thankful we hired her to officiate our wedding. She was so professional, helpful, fun, and organized. Her guidance and customization were exactly what we needed. She took all of our thoughts and needs, and created a one of a kind ceremony for us. Hillary was also very helpful in providing assistance in writing vows, and reminding us about the ever important marriage license application & process. Any time I had a question or request, Hillary was on top of it, and made our day so special. I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you for everything, Hillary!"

    - Liz & Ryan

  • "Hillary was a fantastic officiant! From my first inquiry she was very responsive and friendly! My husband and I met with her via video chat before the big day where she addressed every topic we never even thought about and - thankfully - never had to worry about. She was flexible with her style, which I greatly appreciated and did a BEAUTIFUL job incorporating our love story into her delivery. I couldn't have wished for someone better on our special day. I highly recommend her and will be telling all my friends and family to hire her for future events. Thank you, Hillary! <3"

    - Kassandra & Chris

  • "Hillary is awesome! We really enjoyed working with her and appreciated her kindness and professionalism. She spends time preparing and working through all of the details before and after the ceremony and is an excellent communicator. She helped to make our elopement ceremony more special and go more smoothly than we ever could've hoped. All of our guests were equally impressed. We were lucky to haver her as our officiant and give our highest recommendation."

    - Brandon & Yuki

  • "I’m a 2023 bride and had such an amazing experience with Hillary! My husband and I had such an amazing ceremony, the way she writes the ceremony is absolutely beautiful and was a perfect start to our marriage. It can be very nerve racking being in front of so many people during your ceremony but I felt at ease seeing my husband and seeing Hillary knowing it’s all going to be great and I’m in good hands😊 if you are looking for an officiant I highly highly recommend❤️"

    - Gretchen & Armando

  • "Everyone should hire Hillary IMMEDIATELY for their wedding. We were hoping to have a family member officiate, but after we had a family member back out, we were able to hire Hillary. I was personally nervous about having someone who didn’t know our love story personally officiate, but Hillary was the perfect balance of professionalism, great public speaking, and tons of warmth and heart! She sent us each individual forms to fill out where we got to express more about ourselves, and then took our ceremony writing from there. She gave us the option to either read it or not, which we chose not to. I was almost as excited to hear what my partner had written there as for the vows! It was one less thing off my wedding plate to not have to write the script and I trusted Hillary so much. She balanced tears + laughter perfectly during our ceremony, took care of our marriage license, and made us feel supported all along the way! I’d also strongly recommend having your officiant there for your rehearsal, I felt like we may not need it, but Hillary gave expert advice about microphone placement, ceremony flow, and helped everyone feel super comfortable with the process. Hillary is also incredible inclusive in blending different faith traditions, nontraditional ceremonies, and will work with you every step of the way. On top of that, she donates 10% of her proceeds to charity. Hire her, today!"

    - Erin & Ben

  • "Hillary is an outstanding officiant. She did my wedding May 6th 2023, and did an incredible job. I love that she came up with a personal statement to say about my husband and I, as well as the variety of suggestions she had for vows. Hillary is flexible and was a pleasure to work with!"

    - Hailie & Henry

  • "Hillary was absolutely fantastic! After the ceremony I got so many compliments about how loving she is! She was great about communicating with us and answering our questions. She also sent us some examples of vows which was a huge help! And also sending the documents back to our county which makes everything so much easier! She was so sweet, kind and caring toward us and made us feel so comfortable. Beyond 5 stars!!"

    - Natalia & Austin

  • "We could not have been more blessed to have found Hillary to be our officiant. She made the whole process as stress free as possible. She took care of all of the whole licensing and was so knowledgeable and helpful through it all. She was so responsive and thoughtful in her communication. She took the time to get to know us, and had us fill out these amazing form that allowed her to conduct the most amazing ceremony. Both my husband and my guests were blown away by how beautiful and perfect the ceremony was. She enraptured our relationship perfectly and represented us so well. There is so much to think about and take care of on your wedding day, but Hillary relieved so much off of our plate. Before the ceremony I was so anxious with all of the things I had to think about, but as soon ss she got to the venue I was instantly much calmer. Her public speaking skills blew me away. She is so comforting and so profesional. She is one of the highlights of my wedding that I will cherish forever."

    - Eddy & McKenzie

  • "Hillary was absolutely fantastic to work with - she made our experience so easy when we were daunted by the filing process and she also brought a beautiful warm energy to our intimate ceremony! Can't recommend her enough <3."

    - Ezra & Megan

  • "Hillary officiated our elopement and we could not have asked for a better officiant! She was professional, very quick to respond to every text and email and was extremely helpful with answering all of our questions. Working with Hillary made this entire process so much easier and stress-free. When we reached out to Hillary, we didn’t have a specific place in mind, so she helped us choose a place by sending a list which was extremely helpful. We wanted a very simple elopement and she still made it even more special by including our son in the ceremony. We couldn’t be happier with how our wedding day turned out! Thank you!"

    - Serena & Termaine

  • "Hillary was an excellent officiant in every way. She took the time to get to know my husband and I both individually, and as a couple. She was also at our rehearsal and made that run smoothly, taking one less thing off of my plate. The day of our wedding, she lead the most beautiful ceremony, and peppered in some laughs just like we wanted. I highly recommend her."

    - Keesa & Daniel

  • "Hillary was great! She’s one of those people you meet and it feels like you’ve already met / known her forever. Our ceremony was so smooth, organized, full of love and laughs. It was everything we wanted it to be."

    - Rowan & CJ

  • "Throughout the process, Hillary was friendly, professional, and flexible! She understood what we wanted and delivered beautifully. We booked her basic elopement service plus vow writing assistance (both very reasonably priced). We had a joint Zoom session and individual ones for the vow writing. She arrived a little early to the ceremony spot make sure we were ready to say our vows on schedule. She sent us tracking for our mailed paperwork and followed up to let us know that it had been processed and accepted. Hillary made us feel comfortable and we had a great experience!"

    - Andre & Zoe

  • "I am so pleased we went with Hillary to officiate our wedding. We let her know we wanted our ceremony to be relatively brief, non-denominational, and personal... but beyond that, we didn't really know what to expect. Hillary expertly guided us through the process; all we had to do for preparation was provide Hillary answers to a few thoughtful questions. She ended up weaving parts of our answers into her script, culminating in a heartwarming ceremony that had all of us shedding a tear! Hillary is an excellent and professional public speaker and a true joy to work with. Thank you, Hillary, for a ceremony we'll always remember!"

    – Taryn O.

  • "We had an elopement ceremony at a Seattle park and Hillary was our officiant! From our very first conversation to go over the details of our ceremony, Hillary was always on top of things. She had some great suggestions for ceremony locations and some beautiful pre-written vow options to choose from. The ceremony was quick and exactly what we wanted it to be. She also immediately mailed in our license to the county office and handled all the paperwork seamlessly. Would highly recommend Hillary for your PNW wedding!"

    - Dhansree & Arpan

  • "Hillary was wonderful! She was so easy to work with, flexible, professional, and gave us exactly what we wanted. Highly recommend using her for your ceremony!"

    - Carly C.

  • "Hillary was our wedding(elopement) officiant and working with her has made our wedding very easy. It was a smooth and amazing experience for us to have the simplest celebration that' we'll treasure forever. She truly cares about what you need and how you wanted your celebration to be. She's been so easy to talk to, and very active in replying to queries from day one until even after the celebration. Hillary is very friendly and professional, and most importantly, very kind. Hillary comes highly recommended and will be very lucky to have her as their wedding officiant."

    - Riz & Dalton

  • "Hillary was the perfect officiant for our wedding. My partner and I wanted a short but meaningful ceremony, and that's what Hillary gave us: an 11 minute ceremony with plenty of moments of laughter and tears. Afterwards, several guests told me it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever been to. I would highly recommend Hillary for anyone seeking a wedding officiant."

    – Andy V.

  • "As newly weds, of course with no prior experience with weddings and all that goes into it - it almost felt as if we bit off a little more than we could chew. In spite of the long hours of preparation, all that could possibly go wrong prior to the ceremony itself, went wrong. Nevertheless, Hillary turned it all around and made our special moment a success! We both can't speak highly enough of how accommodating, understanding and patient she was with us. At her price, she was more than a bargain and worth every penny, in making our wedding day so special. She was incredibly easy to work with, very organized, flexible and made us feel at ease all throughout the process. It honestly wouldn't have worked without her and would definitely highly recommend her!"

    - Kundiso N.

  • "We needed a quick ceremony and Hillary was able to accomodate us with a 2-3 day notice and she was PERFECT! She was quick to respond to emails, pleasant to deal with and flexible. She arrived on time and made us feel comfortable and special, we adore her! She followed up with us every step of the way, beginning to end. We highly recommend Hillary for your ceremony, book her!"

    - Sandra M.

  • "I’m so thankful to have Hillary as my wedding officiant. She was professional and very responsive. She followed up with me of any details I needed to know so I didn’t have to worry about anything about the script and paper work. Our ceremony came out so beautiful and it was flowing with tears and laughter. We loved every second of it. Big thanks to Hillary!"

    - Catherine W.

  • Hillary went above and beyond to make Andy & Taryn’s ceremony special. She spoke with the couple often and asked them about key points which she then took the time to weave into the ceremony in meaningful ways. She stayed in touch and guided them through the process and also gave support to each family on the day of the wedding. She truly helped to make it a special day and we are very grateful.

    – Ellen V.

  • "Hillary was an amazing officiant- she was really great about tailoring the ceremony based on our preferences. I would recommend her to officiate your ceremony!"

    - Lydia T.

  • "The ceremony for Taryn and Andy, officiated by Hillary, was the best I have ever been to. It was neither rote nor trite. Rather it was custom scripted, touching and humorous. Hillary is a very polished, experienced and articulate speaker, so kept everything on track. All the guests loved the ceremony, including its brevity. That left more time for everyone to celebrate!"

    – Ross O.

  • "Hillary was an excellent officiant for a wedding I attended recently. She clearly took time to understand the couple, what they wanted from the ceremony, and delivered a polished, yet very personal, ceremony. She is an experienced speaker and deftly handled small deviations to the plan, such as the microphone briefly cutting out. Would absolutely recommend Hillary to anyone seeking a kind, invested, and flexible officiant."

  • "Hillary made the process easy and stress free for us. She proactively gave us information before we even asked her questions. She was easy to work with and professional at every step. Thank you!"
