We had a couple of hiccups (late guests & bride's bouquet MIA) but Deanna was super accommodating and patient. Would pick Deanna again (hopefully won't have to)! July 2023

Deanna Hannaford-Wilcox was super friendly and helpful. She was very willing to make sure everything went the way we wanted and even helped out with some venue issues the morning of to make sure everything was done properly. She was also funny which helped make us all be far more comfortable. Additionally, she took the time to explain and go through everything so everyone understood and there would be no surprises.

We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant than Deanna Hannaford-Wilcox. She was such a joy to work with and so easygoing. Our vision changed multiple times and she just went with the flow and was so supportive with everything we decided. She spoke so well at our small ceremony and everyone there commented on what a beautiful job she did. She answered all of my phone calls or emails with happiness and was so helpful when I had a question a couple of weeks after my ceremony. I would highly recommend Deanna to anyone and everyone getting married. May 2022

Deanna Hannaford-Wilcox was incredibly helpful and on top of everything administrative so that Mary and I did not have any worries on our day. She was also flexible with the location, including a last-minute change to a covered venue to avoid complications from rain. Highly recommend her, very professional, courteous, and great to work with! Christian & Mary-Margaret April 2021

Deanna Hannaford-Wilcox was wonderful! These are strange times indeed but she was so friendly and lovely even on such a brief occasion. I hope someday we can connect with her again, she seems like a truly lovely person and we were fortunate to have her conduct our very abbreviated ceremony. :) Skyler & Madisyn January 2021

Deanna Hannaford-Wilcox was fantastic!!! She learned our personalities through our pre-wedding (covid conforming) “meetings” - aka emails & Face Timing! She injected the appropriate amounts of humour & seriousness at the appropriate times through the service! Her suggestions ensured we had the exact ceremony we wanted! Scott & Anna December 2020
