It seems only fitting on our one year wedding anniversary to share with future brides-to-be our wonderful memories and experience with Bethel Nathan. To put it simply, she is an amazing person. We felt so blessed and honored to have her officiate our wedding. From the very first moment we met her to the moment we hugged her goodbye, she was more than our officiant. She was a good friend, one that we felt we’d known forever. She shaped our ceremony into something that was a true reflection of us and our relationship. Her ceremony was simple, engaging, and personal, exactly what we wanted. My husband and I both appreciated the time she took to get to know us as a couple both in person (during our first meeting) and over email (no need to worry..Bethel is a great communicator and does so seamlessly and smoothly via email).

Never planned a wedding ceremony before? No problem! She forwarded us pages and pages of “creative inspiration” to look through for readings, vows, and other ceremony ideas. We thoroughly enjoyed her “homework” assignments :-) they made us remember the cute things about us, how we met, what we love about each other, and what brought us to this happy moment. What I truly love is the element of surprise that she builds into each and every ceremony. We each answered the same questions as part of our homework assignment only we had to keep our answers hidden from one another. Only Bethel knew what we wrote and as our wedding conductor she used our answers to develop our very own perfect opus. Laughs and tears were had by all as she shared our "answers" with not only our guests but with each other. What a moving experience that was.

She is so thoughtful, genuine, and sincere. She really made our ceremony shine! Not only did we receive countless compliments from our guests at the reception, but we continue to receive compliments a year later! We were so very lucky to have found Bethel. Our ceremony was perfect because of her energy, and thoughtfulness. My husband and I will be forever grateful that she sent us on our lifelong journey with such good tidings.

If you’re lucky enough to get her, do not hesitate! We simply can’t recommend her enough! She’s a jewel in every sense of the word.

Thank you, Bethel. From the very bottom of our hearts. It was a privilege and an honor to be married by you AND to be your 100th wedding. We wish you nothing but the very best of luck in everything you do. Here's to 100+ more happy weddings!
