Minister Kia Durham officiated our wedding, and we could not have asked for a more spiritually…read moregrounded or inspiring presence. She carries a deep and genuine connection to God that is evident in every word she speaks and every moment she leads. Her ministry is thoughtful, sincere, and guided by faith, and she kept God at the center of everything throughout our time with her. Kia has a remarkable ability to create an atmosphere filled with peace, reverence, and true spiritual significance. She does not simply perform a ceremony--she brings a heartfelt, prayerful presence that transforms the experience into something sacred. Her grace, compassion, and devotion to God shine through in everything she does. We wholeheartedly recommend Minister Kia Durham to anyone seeking an officiant who is spiritually led, uplifting, and wholly committed to honoring God in the union of marriage. She was a blessing to us, and we are deeply grateful for her.

I dialed the number on Yelp and the officiant seemed nice enough. I did tell her that I was just…read moremaking an inquiry and would contact her if I was interested. I guess I didn't respond in a time that was convenient for her? The messages that followed seemed really pushy and a bit rude. I said that I no longer needed the services and she called me "Stupid." Personally, I had to do what's right for myself and the energy wasn't right so I didn't want to book. It's as simple as that and my decision should have been respected as a customer. Glad I followed my gut because I know officiants can't legally charge more than $50 for the service but this company quoted me $100 for some obscure travel fees. Edit: I added a screen shot of her calling and two angry voicemails later...threatening to sue me if I don't take down my review. Personally, I'm not even mad or upset. I'm happy I didn't book her and I want others to be able to make well-informed decisions based on my truth. That's the beauty of all this. Everyone has their own experience and we are able to talk about it respectfully.

Before Andrew, we were wracked with anxiety. There was so much that we didn't know, and yet there was so much that had to be done. Immediately. And while we knew that we needed help, we did not know where to turn. So as one does, we picked up our phones and looked towards Google. Andrew Roby Events ("ARE") was at the top of the list for event planning services. After scrolling through ARE's website, reading articles about Andrew's background, watching his inspiring videos and - most importantly, looking at photographs of his work, I just knew that he wouldn't be available or would be out of our price range. After all, it was clear that he was a giant in the industry. There was just no way! But I crossed my fingers and sent an inquiry anyway. I was gobsmacked to receive a positive response and to hear of his willingness to schedule an exploratory Zoom call with us to discuss our needs and wants. Things changed after our first meeting with Andrew. My fiancé and I had been lost in a thicket, but Andrew took our hands and led us to our destination. Not only were we granted complete access to a wedding database (that helped us track deadlines, our budget, and guest list), but to Andrew himself. He coached us and helped us to formulate our vision for the wedding. We told him our dream, and he not only designed (YES: HE DOES THAT TOO!), orchestrated and executed every detail - he exceeded every element of our fantasy. I've included pictures that not only showcase the beauty that Andrew created, but that also show the love that he gave us through his work. Kevin and I will forever be grateful to Andrew. What he did for us, our family, and our friends can never be repaid. He is, by far, the best.

Andrew's expertise was so appreciated and his team did an amazing job of welcoming our guests and keeping the party running smoothly. Everyone who attended said it was a stellar event and I couldn't agree more. Highly recommended!
