Mandy - A Magical Experience
I don’t even know where to begin ~ Bobbie was incredible. I would recommend her to family, friends, and/or strangers in a heartbeat. We chatted with many potential officiants, but once we met Bobbie we knew she was the one for us. Not only did she guarantee that our ceremony would genuinely reflect who we are (which it did), she also provided us with ideas, reassurance, & validation that we didn’t even know we needed. She has the kindest soul and truly guided us to the magic that was our special day. She was available to us whenever we needed her, she was always on time and ready to go, she handled all of our paperwork to make it as stress-free as possible, and the way she treats people brings so much grace and elegance into a room. I am a BIG fan of Bobbie Ellis and would choose her over and over again to stand between my new husband and me on our special day. If you are looking for a sign, this is it!!! You need Bobbie at your wedding!

We found Bobbie through WeddingWire, and she was exactly what we wanted in an officiant. We met a few times via zoom to get to know each other and wrote a beautiful ceremony.

Very put together, responsive, and helpful!
We got the ceremony of our dreams with the help of Meaningful Ceremonies! Bobbie was very kind and helped guide us through our marriage license process. She curated a beautiful ceremony and was incredibly responsive to any little tweaks we had. I would not have changed a single thing about what was said during our ceremony, and that is so much in part due to Bobbie.
100% recommend using Meaningful Ceremonies if you're looking for an elegant, emotional, romantic, beautiful wedding!
