    A job well done

    Rose officiated my wedding in August 2023. She did an amazing job! She made sure the ceremony flowed perfectly. She paid attention to what we wanted for our ceremony and spoke beautifully. She also handled all of the paperwork for our marriage license, so it was nice having one less thing to worry about on our big day. My husband and I definitely recommend her as an excellent officiant.

    Just perfect!

    Rose was so great to work with! She is super flexible and thorough. Every request my husband and I had she was able to accommodate for. We also happened to get married on a super hot day, and Rose was able to change everything on the spot to make sure we got out of the heat quick. We were so grateful for her flexibility and how smoothly everything went on our special day!

    Thank you!!

    My husband and I met Rose at a wedding fair and immediately knew she was the perfect person to have marry us! Working with her was such a pleasure. We chatted through email and on the phone several times leading up to our big day! Rose provided us with a few of her sample ceremonies to read over and my husband and I made a few minor tweaks to what she had written, and then were able to add our own additional parts that we wanted included.
    On our big day Rose arrived ahead of time and met with us making sure everything was set and ready to go! Our ceremony was absolutely beautiful with a huge thanks to Rose! After the ceremony was complete and we had a chance to go over everything with her, Rose immediately went and turned in our marriage license and we were able to quickly pickup the marriage certificate from the county. Thank you again for such a wonderful experience Rose!

    Look no further, rose is the best!

    Originally we planned for a pastor to minister our wedding. Someone whom we shared a personal connection with and shared our faith in God. Being that my husband and I had settled into a new church a few months before our wedding, we never had the chance to ask the pastor of the church to minister our ceremony. I’ll admit I was a little worried that we headed in a different direction, but Rose did a phenomenal job! My Grandmother even approved of Rose, which was surprising since she is very traditional and disliked the idea of not being married by a Pastor.
    Rose catered to our needs and even had an outline of a Christian based ceremony. She also worked with us by allowing us to put a personal twist in our ceremony. I loved opening with a prayer, as it was important to highlight our faith. There was even a mishap on my end and Rose eased the situation like a pro! I forgot to remind my Uncle and Grandfather (who walked me down the aisle) to life up my two tier veil after giving me away. My husband quickly tried to lift it off my face, but Rose so graciously whispered to us, “You can lift it off before you kiss her.” She then looked at me with a calm smile and said, “It will look beautiful with the wind.” I’m so happy that we chose Rose to officiate our wedding and have ZERO regrets! She has the most tranquil voice, and her tone was seamless throughout the entire ceremony! Our families also loved her so much! Please do not hesitate to select Rose as your wedding officiant. She is passionate in her line of work and extremely professional! No matter what your walk of faith may be, she gives her all to accommodate the needs of her couple's.
    We love you Rose!

    Rose the Grand Officiant

    Rose was an amazing officiant, so bright and cheerful to have with us on our wedding day. She was amazingly flexible and so very kind and understanding, she even offered and came to the rehearsal! I can't imagine how the day would have gone without her standing up there with us! Thank you again Rose, you are the best!

    THE Best!!!

    We found Rose through our wedding venue, The Inn at Occidental. Rose was an absolutely amazing officiant. She was a ray of sunshine on our special day. We are not from the area, so we did not know what to expect. She made us very comfortable by contacting us a number of times prior to our arrival. That in itself made it that much more personal. I'd recommend her for your special day. Cheers to Rose!

    Rose gave us the wedding ceremony of our dreams!

    We found Rose through our wedding venue, Auberge du Soleil, in the Napa Valley. She is one of their preferred wedding officiants and was highly recommended to us. After reading through countless rave reviews and testimonials from couples who have been married by Rose, my husband and I knew that we wanted her to officiate our ceremony. When we met Rose in person, we found that she is every bit as warm and wonderful as they say! Rose is a great listener. After talking with her about our relationship, our blended family, and our differences in religion/spirituality, she helped us to pin-point what was most important to us for our petite micro wedding ceremony. She immediately put us at ease and offered thoughtful and creative solutions for handling our marriage license and designing our ceremony. Rose made our wedding day so incredibly special and gave us a ceremony beyond our dreams. Even through a little light rain, her calming presence helped us to stay focused and in the moment during our ceremony. When she speaks, her words carry so much meaning and intention. Being married by Rose felt like we had chosen a close family friend to officiate our ceremony. We are so happy that our gorgeous ceremonial wedding certificate bears her signature. We will always think of her warmly for being such a huge part of our special day and for giving us one of the most precious memories of our lives!

    Special Circumstances & Special Officiant

    Rose was extremely responsive and called me within the first day of emailing. We chatted on the phone and was extremely helpful as my now husband and I were going into this blindly. Due to covid we had to push our wedding to next year. However, we needed to have our marriage documented before school began (as it is an Adventist school and I am not allowed to live with my fiancé). I was not sure how to go about this and she offered to meet up with us, do all the paperwork AND still give us a beautiful small ceremony with family without any hesitation. I can not wait for our actual wedding next year and for her to be officiating! Cheers to Rose!

    Wonderful officiant for your wedding day!

    Rose was very easy to work with and helped answer all of our questions to ease our concerns. She communicated well with us in preparation for our wedding and came on time and prepared! She asked the right questions to get to know us and it was great to not have to worry about the officiant. Would recommend Rose to anyone looking to get married!

    One of the best!

    Rose is a phenomenal officiant. We were looking for someone who could give us flexibility with our ceremony while keeping it laid-back and personal. Our short and sweet ceremony was absolute perfection mainly because Rose was able to quickly pick up on our "vibe" and matched it beautifully. She was also very helpful with our marriage license process, which we were unfamiliar with being an out-of-state wedding. Rose is a wonderful person and I highly, highly recommend her!

    Refined Warmth

    Let me just begin by saying...thank GOSH we found Rose!!! Her warmth, professionalism, refinement, and poise is what you want on your wedding day. It's money well spent to hire a professional officiant (spoken by someone who began with the intention to have a relative do the job) and I don't mean just ANY professional officiant (spoken by someone who interviewed several and can attest that they all have very different perspectives, Rose's stood out above the rest!). Rose executed our ceremony with precision and grace, she exuded ease and joy, and allowed us to completely melt into the moment without any anxiety or doubt. She guided us astutely through the steps of the ceremony and included every single bit that we wanted included (but in the haze of being bride and groom would never have remembered to say or do ourselves!). I cannot recommend Rose more highly. If you want to be in capable hands and able to relax fully into your dreamy wedding day, choose Rose to be your officiant.

    Wonderful Officiant

    Rose was great to work with and did a wonderful job! Many of our guests even came up asking how we found her and telling us how nice they thought the ceremony was. She was able to make the ceremony personal without too much effort from us. I would definitely recommend her services!

    Magical, personalized, flexible, great attitude

    Rose helped us craft a customized ceremony based off of her terrific template to make a ceremony that was perfect for us. She travelled further than we initially discussed and was absolutely flexible with us as we ironed out the details of our small elopement during the Coronavirus pandemic. Rose truly made our ceremony and our words to one another feel magical; we felt like we were the only ones there.

    Go with Rose!

    Rose was the perfect officiant! She uses the initial meeting to get to know you as a couple and what you want out of the service. Then she has some really beautiful ceremony scripts and ideas she offers - for instance she incorporated advice from several of our family members, which was particularly nice because so few people could be there (covid). My other vendors all loved working with her as well. She even coordinated with the photographer to make sure we’d be well positioned for the pictures. We would definitely recommend her!

    Rose is wonderful. She helped make our special day even more special. The ceremony that she performed was absolutely beautiful. I could not have pictured a more perfect day. I am so thankful that we had Rose to join us on our incredible day. 100/10 would absolutely recommend Rose to any and everyone. :) Thanks so much Rose!

    Rose was a wonderful officiant for our wedding! Everything was simple, streamlined and efficient. Since we had not planned to recite our own vows, Rose provided different options that allowed us to include personal touches during the ceremony. Highly recommended!

    An officiant to suit your needs!

    We booked Rose to officiate our Sonoma wedding. While we struggled with the decision to have a family member/wedding guest officiate, we ultimately decided to go with an outside nondenominational officiant with experience. Her pricing was reasonable, and the process was very straightforward. We had an introductory call with Rose, where she shared her normal ceremony scripts, and we had the opportunity to make some tweaks and edits to match us and our needs. She also offered to do a final read through of our personal vows to confirm that they matched in length and tone.

    Rose did a great job at our wedding, and even stepped in with her back-up lapel mic when the wind caused the handheld mic's power to cut out. If you're looking for a professional and experienced officiant for your wedding, I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to Rose!

    The perfect officiant!

    Rose was exactly what my husband and I needed for our wedding day. She was incredibly well-spoken, and all of my guests said the ceremony flowed beautifully and naturally thanks to Rose. She was extremely helpful leading up to the ceremony and truly wants the script to reflect the couple as much as possible, letting us customize and add in phrases where we felt was best. Her style and tone is the perfect mix of casual but still reverent and professional. I would highly recommend to other couples!!!

    Our wedding July 2019!

    Rose was so wonderful from the start! Quick to respond and so helpful with verses and putting your own twists on everything. She was caring and made sure to check in! I highly recommend her!
