“Leslie was perfect to work with. Kristin and I are from Pennsylvania but we wanted our small ceremony at Sapphire Point in Breckenridge. We looked online for an officiant and thought Leslie would be the right person for our day. We face-timed to get to know one another, then collaborated on our vows and every aspect of our ceremony. Leslie was so easy to work with, and we loved the results – it was personal and casual, with a lightheartedness that totally captured us and our 17 year relationship. Thanks for everything Leslie!”

“Leslie, we wanted to express our gratitude for performing such a beautiful ceremony for us. Everyone in attendance raved about what an amazing job you did. One of our good friends asked how we knew you and for how long – they felt you knew us that well and truly captured us in our wedding vows and ceremony. For that, we cannot thank you enough. It is a day in our lives we will remember forever and you played an important role in making it unforgettable. Thank you, Leslie. I do hope our paths cross again in the future.”
