"Rev. Annie has become such a good friend. I found her on the internet loved her webpage, met her and knew she was the spirit we wanted to join us. She wrote us our own ceremony and guided us with love and patience. She added our children in the ceremony and was excited to marry us on her birthday. Thanks Annie you are awesome."

"Our wedding day… 9-7-09… Labor Day and our lucky numbers! It was a perfect day for Jim and me, the 2nd time around. When we began searching for someone to “just marry us” we became gifted with Rev. Annie. After my first meeting with Rev. Annie I knew she was exactly what we were looking for! Jim and I met with Annie together to discuss what we wanted and were overwhelmed by her kindness, laughter, shining personality and love. Being that this was a 2nd marriage for us we didn’t need or want all the “hoopla” of a big ceremony. We only wanted a few brief words along with prayer, non-spoken vows, verbal ring exchange and pronouncement. We also wanted it to be summer casual attire, so that’s what it was. I think it was Annie’s first ceremony in her stocking feet! Sounds pretty boring, huh? But Annie made it as we wanted… short and sweet… with the extra blessings of it being very personal, emotional and very, very special for us and our grown children. We ate, visited and gained a new friend with Annie. I’m so proud she was the one to marry us! Rev. Annie is truly a spiritual lady with the uncanny ability to produce exactly what you desire for your ceremony! We love you, Annie!"

"Brian and I were married May 23 2009 in Kearns Utah at my mothers home. I searched the internet for wedding officiants and made a list of all I could find. When I found Annie and first talked to her I knew she was the one I wanted. She was so pleasant and warm, exactly what we were looking for. We worked together on the ceremony and it came together so easily. Annie was a blessing and made everyone feel at ease. Her personality and sense of humor were wonderful. The ceremony was everything I expected it would be and it was because I was fortunate to find Annie as our wedding officiant and a new lifetime friend. Thank you so much Annie. We love you."

"My husband and I got married in Midway, UT in November of 2008. We are from Louisiana so I got on the internet and searched for someone to marry us. We are so blessed to have found Annie. She worked with us for months before the wedding, she got to know us and wrote the most touching and compassionate vows for us. I lost my youngest son just the year before and Annie wrote our vows to include Jacob in them. She is part of our family now. We could not have done the wedding without her. Her spirituality shines through. She genuinely cares about people."

"Our experience with Rev. Annie and the wedding of our daughter Leslie could not have been better. Rev. Annie consulted with Leslie and Brandon before hand, got to know them and tailored a ceremony to fit them and who they were. Then she came to the rehearsal and in a very unhurried and calm manner, got to know the family and the wedding party. She walked us all through the planned ceremony, adapted it to the location and requests from the participants, then stayed to socialize. Her presence was a calming influence on the group actually. She was there on "the day" in plenty of time, taking care of any last minute questions and concerns. The ceremony was unrushed, and beautifully delivered; there wasn't a dry female eye in the house (and a lot of male if they will admit it). Our day was perfect, not in small part because we had the good fortune to choose Rev Annie to conduct our service."

"Annie Benjamin married Allen and me on August 13, 2008. The ceremony was the most warmhearted, complete, joyful expression of love. She brought us together in the very presence of God. We wanted to write vows but; with Annie's wisdom and gift with words, she had the vows there for us. She understood us. Every feeling that could be shared by two uniting in love was given to us through Annie's gift. I would tell anyone who wanted to be married and had an idea for their wedding ceremony that Annie is the only person who can bring you together and describe your love and commitment to each other. She is a gifted reverened and you will be blessed by asking her to marry you. It was an Honor to have Annie marry us."
