I cannot say enough good things about Vow Muse. We didn't want a traditional ceremony but we really weren't sure what we *did* want. Working with Vow Muse was easy. We answered some questions about ourselves and our ceremony in a document and then talked for about an hour on the phone. When we got the first draft shortly after, we were so pleased! It was clear that Tami had really picked up on what we wanted. Editing together was also easy. After a few small rounds of edits, our final ceremony was absolutely beautiful. It felt perfectly "us" and there wasn't a dry eye in the house (seriously...my mom's MOB hankie had to be passed from guest to guest!). We are SO grateful to Vow Muse and would recommend to anyone wanting a special, personal, beautiful and unforgettable ceremony!! read more

I read about Vow Muse on New York Times - and initially, I was a bit hesitant to spend on something that I could do myself. But given I am the first child that was getting married in my family, the father's speech/toast was something I wanted to be extra special and surprised. Angie and Alicia did a fantastic job directly coordinating with my dad. They took my high-level directions, listened carefully to what my father wanted to convey, and thoughtfully composed a speech to remember. It was an absolute hit - everyone kept raving about it, including my husband who shed a tear or two when he heard my father's speech. The speech was funny, sincere, and memorable - everything I could imagine and more. At the end of the day, brides often so much money on items that wedding guests never remember (like cocktail napkins and signs, etc.), but something like a speech -- it makes the reception! I highly recommend their services to others. read more

Vow Muse - Our wedding guests loving my dad's speech! - Editorial Services Near Me

It was such a pleasure working with Angie and Alison for our wedding. We truly couldn't be more happy with such a great team at Vow Muse! I would highly recommend their services. Our vows were just what we were looking for. We couldn't dream of anyone else marrying us besides Alison :) She had such a great presence (exactly what we were looking for) and delivered our ceremony just how we envisioned. Everything was so efficient and collaborative. They both really focused on making sure our ceremony was what we hoped for and it was! We went with their ceremony template and did some customizations. Though they have plenty of other awesome services as well! We highly recommend Vow Muse to anyone planning their wedding!! read more

We had an amazing experience with Vow Muse and Tami. She took the time to chat with my husband and I for over an hour to make sure she knew exactly what we wanted and got to know our relationship. She wrote our entire ceremony for our officiant and struck the perfect tone. She found passages and readings that felt so personal and all of our guests were delighted. We had laughs and tears and we could not have asked for anything better! They were thorough and timely. I would highly recommend their services if you are looking for something entirely customized and fun! read more

We hired Vow Muse to both officiate and write our wedding ceremony. Vow Muse was the perfect choice for us. Angie and Alicia are gifted when it comes to writing ceremonies that appear to have been taken right from our minds and hearts. Our ceremony was so uniquely us that many guests thought we had written it ourselves! But that's what's wonderful about Angie and Alicia - they will take your story, individual personalities, and style, and create a wedding ceremony that is more beautiful than you ever could have imagined. Their hard work and spectacular skill solidified our wedding ceremony as the happiest moments of my life. Regarding the logistics: After reaching out to Angie and Alicia via their website, we heard back from them very shortly. Then we arranged to meet at a coffee shop near our apartment, where we essentially told them our story. They had provided us with some questions to help them craft a perfect ceremony, which were very helpful in helping us figure out what sort of ceremony we wanted. After that, they went to work on our ceremony and we received via email an unbelievably beautiful ceremony. We were able to make a few little edits here and there and then presto! All done. We also were able to pay via PayPal, which was a huge convenience with our busy schedules. Logistically, it was a dream. As anyone who has planned a wedding knows, it feels wonderful when you know that you can completely trust your officiant and that they are taking care of everything. read more

Let me preface this by saying - I am a professional writer. So, as a professional writer, I not only wanted to write our own wedding ceremony and vows, I thought doing so would be easy! WRONG! I handed our draft off to Alicia and spent a few minutes telling her what I was trying to say (and failing to say), and why my fiance and my relationship rocks. She took all of those ideas and really got to the heart of what makes our relationship work. Our ceremony was incredibly personal, unique, beautiful, and so perfectly us. Then our officiant - who we had hired months before - backed out three weeks before the wedding. I called Alicia in a panic, and she graciously offered to deliver the ceremony. It was the best thing that could have happened. The responses we got from our guests - and even from the DJ - were that this was the most joyful wedding ceremony they'd ever seen! And Alicia's delivery was a huge part of that. She gave a terrific, professional delivery, with great energy. And, as if saving our ceremony wasn't enough, she and Angie helped my father write his Father-of-the-Bride speech. Considering my father is possibly the most embarrassing dad in the world, they really saved the day for me by guiding him to create a lovely (and, thank god, appropriate) speech. read more

Angie did a wonderful job of officiating my wedding. She wrote a great first draft of the ceremony, and then worked closely with me to revise it until I was satisfied. She had great stage presence during the ceremony - she remained professional while keeping a sense of humor and making all the attendants feel relaxed. I received a lot of compliments about Angie after my wedding, and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant. read more

Where to even begin?! We had no idea who we wanted to officiate our wedding nor how to begin thinking about writing a ceremony. Thank goodness for Vow Muse! After a couple introductory calls and emails with Alicia, my husband and I knew we were in good hands. We didn't have that much time to get the ceremony coordinated, but Alicia kept the stress at bay. Vow Muse was so easy and fun to work with - it never felt like a chore! We had Vow Muse officiate the ceremony as well. Alison couldn't have been better! She was calm, cool and collected throughout the whole experience (preparation, pre ceremony, during the ceremony, etc). So many people commented on how fantastic the ceremony was. It was a pleasure having her marry us! I can't recommend Vow Muse more! They helped make our wedding go off without a hitch! We had a vision about how we wanted the wedding to go and Vow Muse helped make that dream a reality! read more

It's been 4 months since my daughter's wedding and I just recieved another compliment on my speech from a guest, "The best wedding speech I've ever heard". I was so much more relaxed knowing my speech was perfect, no wondering what to say or how to say it. I'm so happy I called Vow Muse. I loved working with them. When I think of the cost of putting on the wedding this small fee I'm happy about, one that paid off tenfold. I would do all over again! read more

Hands down the absolute best decision of our wedding planning process was choosing Vow Muse. Alicia was a superstar, going above and beyond to make our ceremony so personal and moving. We met up with her a few months prior to the wedding to get to know her and share a bit about ourselves, and it instantly felt like we were old pals. She crafted a beautiful ceremony, weaving in bits and pieces about our relationship as well as our selected readings into their standard template and by the end it felt like it was crafted specifically for us. On the day of the wedding she officiated perfectly, and we got tons of compliments on it the rest of the evening. People couldn't believe she wasn't a close friend, but by the end it felt like she was. We can't recommend them highly enough! read more

Let me just start off by saying: Everything about being a Maid of Honor is wonderful! ; but the most dreadful part is always the MOH toast/speech. I mean, come-on, who loves public speaking, especially on your best friends' day in front of all of her closest family and friends! The pressure that is, at least for me, someone who's often times a perfectionist, and just wanted everything to be perfect and memorable. Nothing is worse than a really thought out speech with lots of interesting content, but horrible flow with poor engagement with the audience. So, being the true YELP'er, I yelped for help! Vow Muse, sounds interesting enough. A muse for my vows. I met with Alicia to go over the basics, all the interesting facts about my friend, and all of our little stories. At first, I thought, how would this be possible, a quick 1 hour conversation, and she would move mountains of anxiety for me? Alas, a little more than 2 weeks later, came the first draft. Of course we have tweaked it a couple times to have it more sounding like me, and not from a write genius like these two....but the end result is what counts! The bride and the wedding guests absolutely loved the speech! I got a few laughs in , and an " Ah-Ha" moment from one of my friends' uncles. Hilarious! Don't get me wrong, I was still nervous and pacing minutes before the toast (like any other human), but at least I wasn't anxious because I knew it was going to be a hit! Thank you Vow Muse for taking the unnecessary worry away so I can actually enjoy the big day with her! read more

We got Alicia to officiate our wedding pretty last minute (about 3-4 weeks before actual wedding date) since our last officiant was a total bust. Both she and Angie were quick to respond to our emails, helped us make awesome edits to our ceremony script, and was overall just wonderful to work with. We're so happy that we ended up hiring Alicia for our wedding! We'd recommend Vow Muse to anyone :) read more

Very highly recommended. I'd give them six stars if I could! Angie and Alicia drafted a terrific speech for me to deliver at my daughter's wedding. It was my wife's idea to contact them -- it never occurred to me to ask for help with this, and I didn't think I needed it. Maybe with the public speaking part, but who better (I thought) than me to come up with some heartfelt words about my precious daughter? My wife persuaded me, though, with the thought that if professional speakers like politicians and tv news anchors have people writing speeches for them, why not try it? I'm so grateful to Angie and Alicia. The results were above and beyond anything I might have expected. They started out by asking lots of questions and listening, really listening, to the answers. Then they produced a first draft of the speech which literally brought me to tears. It addressed the things I had told them I wanted to talk about, and then went beyond those things to make some really thoughtful and appropriate comments about life and love and marriage. And that was just the beginning. Angie and Alicia were very receptive to the comments and changes I had, and through several rounds of edits the speech kept getting better. I also had a coaching session with them. That was very valuable. It was partly Public Speaking 101, which I needed, and partly an editing session, changing words and phrases here and there to make them come out of my mouth more easily. When the big day came I was able to deliver the words with a great deal of feeling and emotion. I was able to add an important piece to my daughter's wedding, and I came away feeling pretty darned good about myself. All thanks to Angie and Alicia's wordsmithing, their coaching, and to their very supportive attitude. read more

Alicia officiated our wedding (sort of last minute I might add). Every step of the way Vow Muse was there with helpful advice, a fantastic attitude, and passion for making our wedding a success. Can't recommend them enough. A+ read more

We LOVED working with Angie and Alicia -- they made our wedding spectacular! We got what they call "The Whole Enchilada" -- a custom ceremony, vows, and officiating. Throughout the entire process they were responsive, helpful, and fun to work with. They spent a few hours getting to know us as a couple and a few weeks later, sent us a draft of our ceremony and vows. The ceremony and my vows stayed pretty true to how Vow Muse initially wrote them. My husband, however, wrote a pretty different draft because he had the idea to use the letter B as much as possible (the first letter of my name). Through it all, Team Vow Muse was patient, helpful, and committed to making sure we had the exact right words to share on our wedding day. Even after we finalized the text they checked in several times to make sure we still liked it, proactively reached out to confirm final details, and even sent us some helpful public speaking tips to help us practice. On the day of the event, Angie arrived nice and early, and was a calm, joyful presence. The actual ceremony was the best 20 minutes of my life, so we're incredibly grateful to her for doing a terrific job officiating. The goodness didn't stop there -- she dropped off our marriage license for us and sent us some very sweet photos that she snapped before and after the ceremony. We can't recommend them highly enough and if we ever renew our vows, they'll be the first people we call! read more

Alicia & Angie were fantastic. The ceremony was perfect - personal and warm, exactly what we were hoping for. They even found the perfect reading from a book that we had mentioned off-hand. It was definitely one of the most memorable parts of the wedding. And for me at least, the most enjoyable and special part of the wedding planning thanks to Alicia & Angie. read more

Angie and Alicia helped me edit my matron-of-honor speech for my dear friend over the summer (yes, I am way late on writing this review). I was really struggling to make the speech heartfelt, brief, and personal. They quickly came to the rescue and I received many, many compliments on the speech. Thanks, ladies! read more
