Shawn woods was amazing. She went above and beyond for us, video chatting beforehand, keeping in touch with texts, and was just so warm and kind. She really made us feel like she cared. She was so accommodating and thoughtful, even gave us a lovely card and copies of our vows afterwards. I can’t think of anything. Just that Shawn was great! September 2022

I heard about Shawn woods on a Facebook page when someone had asked about a wedding officiant they’d used and liked. We eloped, and it was an easy, quiet evening with just myself, my husband, our officiant (she brought her daughter and husband as our witnesses) and a photographer. It was exactly what we wanted.

Dylan & Ashley
Shawn Woods was the best officiant we could have asked for! Shawn was punctual and very easy to communicate with. We had so many guests raving about her amazing presence and demeanor. Shawn made my husband and I feel so comfortable, and had so many helpful suggestions for us. Our wedding day was a bit stressful due to COVID changes, but she definitely put us at ease for our big day. We would definitely recommend Shawn to family and friends! Ashley & Dylan June 2021

Shawn Woods made Lucas and myself feel more than comfortable during our ceremony. Shawn helped us to remember our steps and constantly made us smile and remain calm. A wedding ceremony is a very important moment in ones life and we couldn’t have had a better experience with Shawn as our officiant. We are so grateful Lucas & Michelle June 2019
