Mr. & Mrs. Lopez Bend OR.
Rev. West helped us create the most beautiful ceremony. She was a mind reader when it came to writing our vows. She noticed small details in our conversations and even included them into our ceremony. The Rev. is an amazing writer. She was key to our wedding rehearsal and very experienced when it came to creating the precession. We couldn't have done it without her! We highly recommend Promised and Pronounced.
Sarah Facer, Roseburg WA.
Chenin was so wonderful. We had a destination wedding on our Grandparents farm in Washington. On our wedding day, there was a tragic car accident that blocked our guests and vendors from getting to our event. Our DJ was stuck on the freeway... so we played our processional music from someone’s car speakers on Bluetooth!
Chenin kept things moving along and made sure our ceremony still went on beautifully! She was right by our sides reassuring
us as we kept making adjustments.
So many adjustments! She really helped to ease our stress. Chenin was so eloquent in her delivery of our ceremony. She captured the spirit of our relationship. She pulled everything together and it was exactly as we pictured. There wasn’t a dry eye in our entire group, our wedding was truly unforgettable.
Jennifer Thomas, Taos NM.
We flew in from Taos to get married in the Columbia River Gorge. Rev. Chenin West was not only an amazing officiant but a tremendous guide. She helped us plan and suggested the perfect spot for our dream ceremony at the foot of a waterfall. I was beyond happy with Chenin's dedication to our event. She truly captured US in her writing. Thanks a million Rev. West!!
