Autrey Nassar was our officiant for our wedding in Yosemite. We met with him once prior to our…read morewedding and he and his wife were so kind and patient with us. We were in constant communication with them throughout the entire process (providing us with samples, making changes, and making sure we loved the final ceremony draft). He has a great voice and was able to project his voice without using a microphone. He also has a calming affect over you that makes you feel at ease and peaceful. He was also very patient and flexible when we had to change our venue 4 days prior to the wedding due to the fire in Yosemite. He was punctual despite the heavy traffic in Yosemite due to the gate closure. We HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant in the area.

We were thrilled to have Donny officiate our Yosemite elopement last year!…read more Our sunset ceremony at Taft Point was our favorite part of our Yosemite elopement. Donny had sent us thoughtful questions beforehand, which made the ceremony feel incredibly personal and meaningful to us as a couple. We also really enjoyed getting to know Donny on the hike in to Taft Point. He made us feel relaxed and comfortable from the start, and brought such a warm, genuine presence to the day. We had the ceremony (and hike in) recorded, and it's something we absolutely treasure looking back on. Donny was amazing, and we truly couldn't recommend him more highly.

He took the time beforehand to explain to us how the ceremony would proceed and the details of each step so that the ceremony went seamlessly.

We really appreciate Donny's option to record the ceremony and are looking forward to having a video to remember our wedding with forever! Donny's professionalism and experience was clear at every step of the process, and he is also a warm, friendly, and funny person who made us feel completely comfortable. We can't recommend him enough!

We couldn't have asked for a better officiant than Jessica. From the moment we filled out her…read morerelationship questionnaire, we knew we were in good hands. She took the time to truly understand our love story and wove it into the ceremony with such grace and authenticity--it felt deeply personal and meaningful. Jessica led the entire ceremony with confidence and care, transitioning seamlessly from our vows to the ring exchange and that unforgettable kiss. She was a calming, grounding presence during such an emotional and exciting moment, helping everything flow beautifully. We are beyond grateful for the warmth and professionalism she brought to our special day. Thank you, Jessica!

The best decision we made as an engaged couple was hiring Jessica as our wedding planner…read more From the beginning, working with Jess for our Yosemite destination wedding felt like planning with a close friend--someone who truly understood our vision and cared deeply about making our dream wedding a reality. She planned the most picturesque celebration for us, with an unforgettable ceremony in Yosemite National Park and a stunning reception at Tenaya Lodge. Jess and her team arranged a perfect ceremony site at Yosemite's Sentinel Beach Picnic Area (permit in hand), and somehow made it feel both intimate and grand for our 100 guests. Everyone was comfortable, awestruck by the natural beauty, and touched by the seamless flow that her team executed. Organized, kind, artistic, and a true wedding pro, Jess went above and beyond at every turn. She coordinated all of our vendors--no small feat in the Yosemite area--and did it with such ease and confidence that we felt completely at peace throughout the process. Her digital planning software kept us on track without feeling overwhelmed, and she was incredibly responsive and flexible when any changes needed to be made. For context, we are based in Orange County, but Jess was consistently reliable via Zoom, call, or text throughout the whole process. The reception décor at Tenaya's Pavillion was the most breathtaking room I've ever walked into, and it would not have happened without Jess's eye for detail and expert guidance. She has a rare gift for matching couples with the perfect vendors and keeping everything on schedule without making it feel rigid or rushed. She and her team also flawlessly executed our rehearsal and welcome dinner, enhancing our Western-themed event with thoughtful decor touches that tied everything together beautifully. If you're getting married in or around Yosemite, Jessica Trettin is THE person to hire. Her local knowledge, vendor connections, and creative instincts are unmatched. But even outside of the region, I would recommend her wholeheartedly. She's nimble, efficient, and an exceptional events professional from A to Z. We are endlessly grateful to have had her by our side--our Yosemite wedding would not have been the same without her.

I booked The Wandering Bride to be the coordinator for my wedding in North Fork on October 12, 2024…read moreand Jess and Maggie were AMAZING!!! I originally thought I could do it without a coordinator, but panicked after booking my other vendors and I am SO glad that I booked The Wandering Bride!! Communication was outstanding, Maggie, who was our day of coordinator, was on top of EVERYTHING and they took everything they could off of my hands so I could just focus on enjoying the day. Maggie handled all the last minute communication with the vendors so I didn't have to, including a last minute start time change that we decided on at the rehearsal. I got to use their planning software, which includes the most detailed and thorough checklist, a timeline that we could collaborate on, and a seating plan creator, all of which were super helpful. Maggie was somehow everywhere all at once to connect with all the vendors and make sure things went off so smoothly, all the while while staying in contact with me so I knew what was going on and could ask any questions or make any last minute requests. Above all else, Maggie managed to take the fuzzy picture in my head of how I wanted things to look and make it bloom into something absolutely STUNNING! Everything looked and ran so professionally and so smoothly! Everyone, including the vendors, had an amazing time! I honestly cannot recommend The Wandering Bride enough!! Thank you so much, Jess and Maggie!!!

So due to her error I can not get it until she fixes it! She fell ill about two weeks after my ceremony which I understood but she refuses to contact me in this matter. She is holding me up from getting medical insurance through my husbands work. I've even paid the fee to fix the error & had the clerk mail it to her house for convenience. Still nothing! She refuses to contact me!! I've sent emails, text messages, called & left voicemail, NOTHING! Very unprofessional!!! She was a very sweet woman her price was too good to be true (obviously) she threw in her personalized wedding vows. I will admit her vows she wrote for us were beautiful! I feel like it's been a month and a half since I got married and for her to not reach out and even send a simple text to communicate what is going on on her end is just plain unacceptable. I feel like cause I had a small intimate home ceremony I just don't fall high on her priority list. I recommend choosing someone else to officiate your wedding. Unless you're ok with flakey and unprofessional!
