"I do not have enough good things to say about Sue! Our experience with her on not just our wedding day, but the weeks leading up to it, was amazing. She took the time to get to know my husband and I to give us a ceremony that was perfectly us and her attention to detail shone brightly during the ceremony. She went out of her way to be our officiant as we didn’t find her until less than two months before our wedding. We had the most beautiful ceremony, largely in thanks to Sue. She will always have a special place in our hearts"
~ K.S.

Sue is incredibly kind and altruistic. We asked for a non-religious ceremony and she gave us beautiful words respectful of our wishes.

"Sue is a profoundly gifted healer with the soul of a true medicine woman. Before working with her I was struggling with an issue that was draining me of my time and energy. Sue did some healing with me, and it’s as if the entire issue was erased from my body — and from my life. I’m finally able to breathe again. And I feel deeply relaxed for the first time in years.”
