Testimonials

  • We had Valerie officiate for us and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We would highly recommend her as an officiant for a variety of reasons, but a few details stood out. First, she took the time to talk to us to make sure she had an understanding of exactly what we were looking to do. We weren't quite certain at the time, so she walked us through step by step and made great suggestions on how to keep our ceremony short and sweet, which was exactly what we were looking for. She was incredibly respectful of our choices and her professionalism and kindness definitely helped to keep our stress levels about everything to a minimum. Valerie is also a great public speaker and did a great job during the ceremony of keeping everything flowing nicely. If you are looking for an officiant, we would definitely
    recommend her to help you on your special day!

  • Valerie assisted my daughter and fiancé in planning their June 2022 wedding ceremony. Valerie took the time to get to know the couple, listened to the type of ceremony they wanted, and she added personal details about them during her officiating. It was simply beautiful, and there wasn’t a dry eye at the outdoor wedding. Valerie made my daughter’s wedding truly memorable. I highly recommend Valerie and her services. She is a true professional and adds a personal touch that you won’t find anywhere else.

  • Valerie has passion. It comes thru in everything that she does. Because of her passion and charisma we were able to have our one of a kind wedding ceremony. We are not your traditional bride and groom and wanted to stay true to ourselves. Valerie helped us do that and together we came up with a ceremony that was tailor fit to our personalities and our life together. There was nothing too mild or too bold that she wasn’t willing to try. While keeping our words tasteful and throwing in some of our favorite quirks we were able to truly express our love and commitment to each other, all while having a fun time and giving our guests a laugh or two along the way. Something they will always look back on with joy. Valerie was a huge staple in our wedding ceremony and has become a part of our life together today. Whether you are traditional or like “us”, Valerie has the passion to make your day as ordinary, extraordinary, beautiful or bold as you dream it can be.

  • Valerie helped create a unique and special ceremony for our wedding day. This wedding was the second marriage for both of us. We had both lost and grieved our previous spouses. It was also important to us that we were merging two families - combined we have three adult children, their spouses, and four grandchildren, all of who were included in the wedding. We met with Valerie who listened attentively, asked questions, and gave suggestions. Valerie came up with the perfect reading to summarize our relationship. I cried happy tears when I read it! The wedding ceremony could not have represented our history, relationship, and commitment more beautifully or perfectly. Thank you again for making our day extra special!!!

  • Valerie was incredible! She truly has a passion for this and it shows in how she reads at your ceremony. She also made it super easy to complete the marriage license. A reliable officiant you can count on!

    Victoria & Chase

  • We really enjoyed working with Valerie. She made the effort to meet us in person and get to know us and hear our story. She gave us a lot of ideas and showed us prior ceremony templates to use as a guide. We chose each word that went into our ceremony and felt like it truly represented us at its completion. Valerie is friendly, down to earth and professional. Her communication was always very prompt.

    Darcy T.

  • Valerie was so responsive whenever I contacted her. Putting together a small, last minute, casual ceremony with her was so simple! She was easy to talk to, friendly, responded quickly whenever I contacted her and very punctual for the ceremony. She asked me what she should wear to the ceremony. She made me feel so comfortable with her. We chatted a bit afterwards and she’s a lovely person. I’d highly recommend her if you want a friendly, casual, professional and flexible officiant.

  • I am writing to offer my highest recommendation for Officiant, Valerie Bittner. We had the privilege of getting to know and work with Valerie for our wedding in October 2021. Ours was not your “traditional” wedding & we didn’t want it to be. Valerie asked us about our love story and for some background information so she could write something up for us....& she delivered!! The words she wrote for our ceremony were simply beautiful and truly unique. In fact, I had the words printed and framed. Valerie is a true professional and is very passionate about her work which was apparent to all.
