I've worked with Misty at several wedding Ceremonies and I've always been really impressed with her professionalism, tailored Love Stories, and client personalization for each of her clients.


Here's how it all started for Misty:


Misty became ordained the same day Same Sex Marriage become federal legal in the United States (6/26) as a tribute to her friends and others that could finally marry their loved ones. That was just the hook that got her in the door.


Being in business for over 9 years, Misty offers personalized wedding ceremonies and micro wedding coordination while Elopement Ceremonies on the beach is the most popular service she gets requested.


Misty's ceremonies are customized to the specific requests and preferences of each couple. Pre-Planned Wedding Decor Packages are also offered for couples looking for an easy, stress free wedding. They simply arrive ready to get hitched and then she sends them on their Married way!


Through unlimited conversation via phone call, emails, etc as well as the information provided on their contract, Misty gets to meet people from every walk of life, from every culture, from every religion where they come together for LOVE! 


What about Industry Trends and Tips?

Couples are going small and intimate to celebrate their Union compared to previous years where weddings were huge and full of all the bells and whistles. 


What advice do you have for clients when choosing an officiant?

Ask lots of questions and do a vibe check! Specifically,  make sure they can accommodate all your requests and preferences to create a beautifully written ceremony that will naturally flow. Also, don't book simply for the price. Cheaper is not better when it comes to the person who will be legally binding you into Matrimony on one of the most important days of your life. 


Misty averages 150 weddings a year with 5 star ratings from her happy clients!

She loves meeting new people plus she shares the work load with her husband. They are together 99% of the time. If she is Officiating a wedding then there's a great chance that he is her chauffeur. Team work!


Soon Misty plans to step into Micro Wedding Planning (this is where there is 30 or less guests count).


If you want to catch Misty in the near future, she'll be at the Hickory Bend Wedding Expo on November 10th, 2024! Also, here are more details on her services and pricing info:
