“Linda is just amazing! We wanted someone who would take the time to personalize our wedding ceremony, who would help it feel rooted in our religion in a way that wouldn't feel overbearing. She did just that! We had a short meeting to discuss our needs prior to booking, then signed a contract and provided payment. Soon thereafter we met with her over coffee to share our story, and she had a draft of the ceremony script done only a week or two later, that we were free to edit as needed. She was quite flexible as we changed the readings and order of ceremony events. We really felt like Linda listened and was interested in sharing a beautiful and true-to-ourselves story. Our marriage certificate was ready for pickup at the vital records office a week after the wedding, indicating that she'd put our license in the mail ASAP as she'd promised. A gifted writer, Linda is also such a kind, non-judgmental, and genuine person whom I highly recommend if you're looking for a personalized ceremony with someone you can trust.”
