The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart.

Thank you so much for making my special day run smoothly. I really appreciate you taking control of the situation and being so organized even though the weather didn't work out like we planned. I will email you some pictures as soon as I get them. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you being part of our special day.
Thank you ~ Rachel & Keith R. (Married at Lake Weir Yacht Club)
We can not say thanks enough! You did a wonderful job, and were such a pleasure to work with. I will most certainly recommend you to anyone!! Everyone loved Andrew too! I had so many compliments about you both at the reception!
I'll be forwarding some pictures to you soon as well! Thanks again!! ~ Hillary & Davide L. (Married on Clearwater Beach)
I wanted to tell you how much we appreciated everything yesterday. My family kept saying over and over how beautiful the ceremony was. Some were skeptical about how it was going to work out and were pleasantly surprised about how it turned out so wonderful. My dad was hanging on for the ceremony and I am so pleased we were able to do it for him. Unfortunately, my dad passed away last night around 7pm. I am not looking at our wedding as a sad event, more as an honor to provide a man with his dying wish. ~

Thank you so much for meeting us on such short notice.
It really meant alot to us. :) Thanks again ~ Natasha & Brent E. (Married in the historic gazebo, downtown square, Ocala)
(He made silly faces at her to make her laugh in the middle of the ceremony!!...) We had an awesome time getting married to each other! Yeah, Stacy did that cause he saw me tear up. He is a joker for sure - life of all parties, even his own wedding!! Thank you again ~ Jaime & Stacy D. (Married at their Home, Bronson)
Dear Wendy (and Mr. Drew, the famous photog!) We surely appreciate that someone was there with a camera! Sometimes these details are forgotten...it was lovely to meet you and I wish we'd had more time to visit. We also got the thank-you note, which was a nice thing! My goodness! Absolutely, you can use whatever photos you like in the website. Who knows, Brad might get discovered...he is so devilishly handsome...! I think they exemplify the 'simple ceremony' and the location really well. I hope you get to do many ceremonies there; there is a true sense of peace under those oaks. I loved it!
Love and best wishes ~ Jen & Brad W. (Married at Sholom Park, Ocala & pictured in photo below)
My guests were very complimentary of your professionalism and congratulated me on finding you as well as congratulating us as a couple. My daughter-in-law, especially, was so impressed with you and the presentation of the ceremony in narrative...right down to your business card. I am impressed because you never left me guessing. You were always in close contact and reassured me every step of the way. You have a way with saying the right things in such a meaningful way, and your ideas were precious to me. I will always think to you with a fond memory. ~ Sarah & Skip B.
Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day as amazing as it was - we could not have hoped for a more suitable person to officiate the ceremony. ~ Freja & Thompson H.
I am still receiving many wonderful compliments on your directional blessing! Thank you and Andrew again for making our day such a rememberable one! You make a fantastic team together and you were such a big help for us. ~ Melissa & Ben B.
Thank you so much for the ceremony. It was perfect. We were so happy with how it all went and without you we would have been a little stuck. ~ Amelie & Alphonso W.
I hope you enjoyed the whole experience as much as we did. That was so much fun surprising everyone! Thanks again for everything. ~ Dee & John B.
I will never forget how you just kept going like nothing was wrong when he realized right in the middle of the ceremony that he left the rings in the dressing room! And you made us comfortable when we were very nervous being in front of all those people. Thanks so much. ~ Jenni & Corey T.
