I'm ready to start looking into booking an officiant. My fiance and I (and our families) are not at all religious people. We are getting married at Fox Hollow. I am a very sentimental person though, and I really want it to be a meaningful ceremony. Does anyone have any one they have seen/booked with they would suggest? And a quote would be great too.

Thanks!

Have you looked into having someone you know perform the ceremony? Almost anyone can get ordained on the Internet and having someone you know is great because they know details about you and your fiancé that would make the ceremony extra special.

This! My fiancé and I are having his cousin perform our ceremony, he got ordained online and it was as simple as that. I will say though he definitely has the personality to do something like that which is important to consider as well if you ask a friend or family member.

Rev. Deb is awesome she did my sisters wedding and sat down to get to know them and their story before the wedding. The ceremony was very personal to the two of them and short, sweet, to the point - Id say no longer than 15-20 minutes which is awesome.

Rev Tom Fiorillo -SayIDoNY That's who we are using. Met with him to go over preliminary stuff. He is amazing and has all different ceremonies he hss done recorded so you can listen and get a feel for him. Definitely recommend him! Good luck!
