I cannot express my gratitude enough for the remarkable assistance he provided. Despite having only a 24-hour notice, we had no concept of what to do or where to go. However, he skillfully directed us through the process in no time. It was undoubtedly the most perfect wedding celebration I have ever witnessed. Even when things got chaotic, he remained composed and managed the situation exceptionally well. Notably, it was an outdoor ceremony and although it was raining on and off, he still showed up and delivered an unforgettable experience. Words cannot adequately describe how appreciative I am of his guidance, especially as a mother. Although organizing this wedding for my daughter was challenging amidst the issues I was facing, he stepped up to ensure that everything went smoothly. I am forever grateful.

Our wedding was a fairytale come true on Valentine's Day 2015, on the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, with William Hedge as our officiant. William was the perfect choice for us and an absolute pleasure to work with. He is a consummate professional with a generous, calming, and intuitive spirit. William is attentive to the needs of the couple and made the planning process seamless, even though we coordinated everything over Skype, email, and phone calls since we were not from San Francisco. William is highly knowledgeable in all aspects of marriage ceremonies and has extensive familiarity with getting married on the Golden Gate Bridge. He is committed to bringing your dream wedding to life with his "Your Wedding, Your Way" philosophy. We cannot thank William enough for making our wedding a flawless and unforgettable event. We highly recommend him to be your wedding officiant on your special day. Jeff and Carolyn

William was exceptional when it came to communication before and after our wedding day. I appreciated how he made sure we were at ease and prepared on the big day, and how he involved us in selecting the readings for the ceremony. We were hesitant about finding an ordained minister who could conduct a non-religious ceremony, but William exceeded our expectations.

Working with William as our wedding officiant was an absolute pleasure. Our guests were enamored with him and many approached us to express how much they appreciated his sincere and heartfelt ceremony.
Aside from being an excellent officiant, William possesses an incredible warmth and compassion that my wife and I admired greatly. He dedicated hours of his time leading up to our special day, offering coaching and guidance over the phone or FaceTime.
William even went so far as to help me sing during our ceremony, creating beautiful piano recordings for me to practice with beforehand. It was a major hit with our guests and a highlight of the entire wedding.
In addition to his skills as both an officiant and musician, William was an absolute joy to work with. He had a natural ability to put everyone at ease and make us feel incredibly comfortable. We highly recommend him to anyone in search of an officiant who can create a beautiful ceremony and also has a deep appreciation for how music can enhance such a meaningful event.

We had the honor of having William Hedge officiate our wedding and it was an absolute delight! Despite living in Sparks, NV and getting married in Lodi, CA, we were able to connect with William via Skype, and we're grateful for his willingness to accommodate us. Although we didn't take him up on his offer to be available for any questions or concerns, it was greatly appreciated. Since we didn't have a wedding planner and our family took charge of the organization, William truly went above and beyond by guiding us through the rehearsal, which was not part of his responsibilities. He maintained a lighthearted atmosphere with his upbeat attitude and humorous quips. The ceremony was stunning, and our guests were impressed by the beautiful vows. Thank you so much, William, for your abundant kindness and assistance!
