Please recommend your officiant

Hey girls. I need your help. FH and I decided to use an ordained friend as our officiant. However, after thinking about it, we aren't sure it's the best idea. We want someone experienced that will help make the most important part of our day run smoothly.

Who did you use or who are you using.

with 67 days to go, i'm starting to get nervous about this.

TIA

We used Rev Alison Caiola and I have heard nothing but good things about Pastor April

I am getting married at my Church so I don't need an officant. But my friend April got married almost 2 years ago @ Majestic Gardens and had an awesome Officant. She lives in Queens I believe. But she has told me stories how she would tell them about love and how it made her cry! Even her husband got teary. Let me know if you would like the info!

Joey is scared of getting a 'loon' (his words, not mine)

Good Luck Danielle. I unfortunately don't know anyone since I am getting married in a church. But I am sure you will be able to find someone great and who can make the most important part of Joey's and your day a very special one!!!

I don't know if I'd say it that way, but I was a little worried myself. This was a difficult decision for me...I put a lot of thought into it. I was nervous about finding someone we were comfortable with and that would be able to make it more 'personal' without really knowing us. I was relieved that we were able to find the right person for us.

Rev Deb Viola.

We had called Pastor April first and she was booked and recommended Rev. Deb. We met her and really liked her. In fact, she was the only vendor that we booked on the spot.
