The couple approves the final draft, and the script is uniquely theirs!

Custom Vow Renewal
The perfect way to tell your partner that you would marry them all over again! Renew your marriage vows privately or share the experience with family and friends. A Vow Renewal includes the same features as a custom wedding ceremony with one difference. Instead of filing a marriage license with the court, the Officiant creates a commemorative Vow Renewal Certificate for the couple. Pricing is the same as a custom wedding ceremony because the same amount of work and time go into creating both.

She is your girl!
Valarie is seriously amazing at what she does! She wrote an entire custom ceremony for my husband and I. We had conversations about how religious we are, readings we liked, even about our families. She offered ceremony suggestions and we ended up doing a beautiful cord of three [strands] that’s now hanging in our bedroom! She also helped SO much with writing our vows! No amount of Pinterest helped me get started on my vows, but she sent a guide and I finished within an hour! She is your gal!”
Wonderful Experience
ATL Wedding Officiants was very professional, reasonably priced and most importantly, performed a beautiful ceremony for our wedding. They helped us write our ceremony script and we were able to personalize it however we wanted. On the day of the wedding they were on time and ready to go. We were very happy with the job they did.
