“Valerie Bittner was truly the perfect officiant for our wedding. From the very beginning, she was open, flexible and incredibly inclusive—welcoming all backgrounds, beliefs and traditions with genuine respect. We wanted a ceremony that blended meaningful elements without feeling overly religious or scripted, and Valerie guided us thoughtfully through our options. She was enthusiastic about incorporating unique touches that mattered to us and made sure everything felt intentional and personal.
Her professionalism and reliability gave us complete peace of mind throughout the planning process. Valerie was organized, punctual and always clear in her communication. She handled every legal detail seamlessly, including the marriage license, so we never had to worry about a thing. Knowing she had experience, structure and even contingency planning in place allowed us to fully relax and enjoy our day.
What truly sets Valerie apart is her ability to create emotional connection. She didn’t just officiate our ceremony—she led it with heart. She guided our guests through moments of laughter, reflection, and genuine emotion, transforming the ceremony into an experience everyone felt part of rather than something to rush through. So many guests told us how moved they were and how meaningful the ceremony felt.
If you are looking for an officiant who is inclusive, dependable and gifted at creating a ceremony that truly resonates, Valerie Bittner is exceptional.”
