“Carol Ann Ross is the only wedding officiant you should ever consider if you want something tender, funny, charming, friendly, informative and FUN. My husband and I could not have picked a better person for the job. She was on target with all the facts, and the way she spoke to us was from the heart and with profound sincerity. She really believed in us and what she was saying.”

“We would love to recommend Carol Ann as your officiant. She writes beautifully crafted stories about the couple and she tells them in a glorious fashion. Her articulate use of language makes everyone feel as though they are part of an intimate ceremony to salute a beautiful love. She listened to everything we said and transcribed the information to the written word in a delicate tribute to our love.”

I would like to recommend that you hire Carol Ann as your wedding officiant. This woman’s sunny disposition, coupled with her infectious positivity and enthusiasm for everything is infectious. She is simply spectacular at her craft and no-one does it better. Her voice is melodic, her words are poetic, and her content is spot on. We are simply thrilled that we found her in time to make the decision to hire her for our wedding. I cannot imagine having anyone else do it better. Thank you

All around, a wonderful experience! Getting through the wedding planning was tough for my wife and I but every time we met with Carol Ann we were gifted with a renewed excitement. That is just part of her personality that spreads to the people she touches. We loved her thoughtfulness and care which was evident the whole way through the process. We feel we gained a new friend a long the way and we will never forget her being part of this incredibly memorable day. We can't express enough gratitude! We received nothing but wonderful feedback about the ceremony from our guests who all loved how our story was weaved throughout. Many of our guests didn't even know some of the details about our story that Carol Ann highlighted! They (and we) were all so impressed with warm and personal touches to the entire ceremony. We couldn't be happier

Amani Officiant was AMAZING!!! We enjoyed the fact that she took so much time interview and create our story. Although her rates were higher than others, her services are superior! We recommend her without reservation! She is a wonderful human being!

Carol Ann prepared a vow renewal for my husband and I that meant so much to our family and friends. Her description of our life together, our love, our failures and our triumphs, was nothing short of brilliant. We would recommend her to anyone who is thinking of hiring her. She is a joy to work with.

Carol Ann wrote the story of our love. She got it! She listened so well to what we told her. When it came to our vows, my husband and I needed help here too. We wanted something unique but couldn’t get inspired. So she had another meeting with us and came up with some vows that matched us perfectly and we were comfortable to recite. Carol Ann - you made our day incredible. Thank you so much.

From the first moment we met with Carol Ann to the moment where she performed our wedding ceremony, we enjoyed the experience. Carol Ann has so many years in the event industry and was able to answer so many questions for us, that she simply demystified the entire wedding industry for us. Whenever we thought we were being taken advantage of, we conferred with Carol Ann and she was able to advise us. Wherever we were indecisive about decision making, Carol Ann was there to steer us in the right direction at every turn. When it came to the writing of the ceremony, her words filled our hearts with love. She expressed our feelings perfectly in her own words, carved from her questions and the answers we gave. She was a professional to deal with business wise, and a compassionate and beautiful soul when it came to personalities. We loved having her so much that we invited her to stay for the wedding dinner. We are looking forward to our vow renewals in a few years time.

We were one of the last weddings before Covid shut down the world. Good thing we didn’t have to postpone as Carol Ann worked so hard on our ceremony. She asked such fabulous questions that gave us the tools to come up with fabulous answers making for a fabulous ceremony. She has the compassion to write what you want to hear and the skill to phrase it in the way you want to hear it. Carol Ann Thank you for your expertise and attention to detail. You are the absolute best. 5 STAR.

My husband and I were in no doubt as to whether or not we should hire Carol Ann. Upon meeting her, we were just blown Away with her compassion and kindness. She is also a master artist and she brings an incredible theatrical spirit to the wedding ceremony. Her experience with events calmed our nerves and her hugs made us feel nurtured before walking down the aisle. Our guests felt she was so approachable as she greeted everyone in such a non invasive way and made them laugh before The beginning of the wedding ceremony. She is a PRO. Her years of event experience have given her skills to fend off all The issues that arise. She is SUPER CALM and every wedding needs that. We love her.
