Love Those Love Notes - 2015 Best Officiant My Wedding

We have been very blessed during our years of officiating ... and continue to be grateful as wonderful things make their way to us.

Many years ago we realized it is the people we officiate for and work with who are the gracious ones.  

Thank you for being part of our lives.

Joan and James to Wed at the Willows Lodge

Joan and James having fun at their home pool - Patricia Stimac, A Heavenly Ceremony
I was delighted to hear from James and Joan about officiating their wedding ceremony.  This lively,  fun couple lives in Texas (yes, that's them poolside) but they have family in Seattle and decided to marry at Willows Lodge.

Then, I learned that Joan's niece is Alaina Fox who does wedding photography.  Our paths have already crossed.

Now not only do I get to work with Alaina, I also get to meet more of her family.  A pleasure!


When Joan and James visited Seattle, Alaina took their engagement pictures.  Of course, there had to be some photos at the iconic Pike Place Market.

Whimsical Winter Wedding Cake

Cake made of snow, carrots and birdseed - Posted by Patricia Stimac and Kent Buttars, Seattle Wedding Officiants
Thanks to Family Fun Magazine
Wouldn't this be a fun addition to a winter wedding?

Being warm and cozy inside the reception hall and looking out at this delightful creation.

Plus, while your guests are enjoying delectable cake, wild creatures can be  nibbling on their own tidbits.  A win-win situation for all!

And, if you are looking for equally creative ways to make your ceremony your own, give us a call at 206-789-9788 or contact us through our website.  Another win-win decision.

Nice Couple Creates "Nicer Foods"

Jesse & Kate with their daughter, Zannie - Ceremony officiated by Kent Buttars, Seattle Wedding Officiant
Kent had the honor of officiating for Jessie and Kate (seen here with their daughter Zannie) last year on Camano Island.

As we reach out to couples and their support for the Seattle Bride Magazine Best of 2015 poll, we often hear back what people are currently interested in and what the news is in their lives.  We love those emails!

Heard back from Kate and Jessie that they have been really, really busy starting a new business:  Nicer Foods, which specializes in protein bars for people with digestive issues like Crohns, colitis, etc.

Kate is a dietician and developed bars that are wheat free, dairy free, corn free, soy free plus are low in fermentable carbs called FODMAPS.  This is a wonderful combination.  The bars can be purchased online at Nicer Foods.

You or someone you know may find this of interest.  Please share.


And here's to hearing from couples and where life has taken them!

Destination: The Quintessa on Whidbey Island Occasion: Alexi and Matt's Wedding

Matt proposed to Alexi at Christmas at the California beach cabin - Patricia Stimac, A Heavenly Ceremony
I'm so looking forward to this wedding!  

First the background.  Matt proposed to Alexi on Christmas Day at their cabin on California's Pacific Coast.  Sigh ... that sounds so romantic.

The two decided on a destination wedding for about 40 people at The Quintessa on Whidbey Island.  This is a vacation house just a bit from the Clinton Ferry.  It is huge - with nine bedrooms and a cottage - so everyone will be together yet will have some private space.

It will give people a chance to relax, get to know each other better and to celebrate this very important day in Alexi and Matt's life.

Wishing the lucky couple the best with their wedding plans!

If you were engaged over the holidays ... or perhaps anticipating a proposal on Valentine's Day and are looking for a wonderful officiant, give us a call at 206.789.9788 or contact us through our website.
