Even though my husband and I aren't affiliated with an organized religion, it was really important for us to have a wedding ceremony that respected and honored our spiritual beliefs. Reverend Sebero not only took the time to understand our spiritual beliefs, she also got to know us as individuals and as a couple, making the ceremony even more personal and special.

We are so grateful to have Stephanie as our wedding officiant. She was more than accommodating and understanding. We started planning the wedding 3 months before our wedding day, a little later than we should. Since we did not have a wedding coordinator and we haven't been to many weddings, we had a lot of questions of how things would flow on that day. When Stephanie met with us the first time, she answered all our questions. I wanted to have a unity sand ceremony and involve my stepdaughter in the process. Stephanie helped me find some vases for the unity sand and also addressed stepdaughter in the ceremony. It was very sweet and my stepdaughter loved that she could be a part of this important day. Stephanie really personalized our ceremony and that was exactly what we were looking for! Thank you!!

We had a fantastic wedding day in October and were blessed to have such a kind, loving, and thoughtful minister. Reverend Stephanie was available at short notice and delivered with a calming ease, settling both mine and Samantha's nerves. Reverend Stephanie was accommodating to our every need and tailored her words to best suit us best as individuals. I would strongly recommend Reverend Stephanie for any ceremony! Thanks again!

Reverend Stephanie is the most down to earth, understanding, and most modern minister we know. She is so connected to our generation by her great listening skills, and continues to stay open-minded to future relationships.

We were impressed with her style, the way she blended both of our cultures together and how she uniquely integrated both of our family's religions.

Everyone of our family and friends loved her personality and the way she described our story during our vow exchange. "It was not the typical boring bible verse you hear at every wedding." - were our guest's exact words. She picked the scripture that best described our story and read aloud to our family and friends exactly how we felt about our wedding.

We appreciate her marrying us and would highly recommend her to any couple. Remember what's important to You and Your Spouse. No matter what religion you follow, or who you choose to witness your exchange of vows, the one marrying you should believe in your future as much as you do. Their spirit will not only support your promises , it will strengthen your happiness as well. 

Reverend Stephanie married my husband and I in a small but beautiful outdoor ceremony in November. We did not know her before our first meeting and I was very nervous about using someone we had found online. She tailored the ceremony to our exact specifications and was sweet, loving, calming and extremely helpful from start to finish. By the time we had our reception, she felt like an old friend. We highly recommend Reverend Stephanie. She did a wonderful job!

Reverend Stephanie, Thank you for everything you did to make our wedding day so special! We loved our ceremony so much and greatly appreciate your support throughout the day as well. Thank you again!

Wow! We fell in love with Reverend Stephanie at the moment we met her. It was like meeting an old friend for lunch that we hadn’t seen in a while. Stephanie made both of us feel so comfortable, and it was so easy to open up to her about us, our friends, family, and our 15 years of commitment. Stephanie was so respectful of our beliefs and also helped us to consider the beliefs of our guests as well. She helped us from start to finish and was there for us every step of the way. She met us at our home and really took the time to get to know us and the wonderful life that we have built together. She created an elaborate ceremony based on all the details she carefully gathered from us. It was written so beautifully and most of us were in tears during the ceremony. It fit us AND our guests perfectly. She also gave us a great idea for a ceremony within the ceremony. The wine box ceremony was spot on!!! Scott and I never really dreamed that we would be able to legally marry; however, the Supreme Court made that possible for us on the cusp of our 15th year anniversary. We chose that day for our wedding ceremony, and it was a historical day. I can’t tell you how many of our friends and family said, “That was the classiest wedding I have ever been to.” This was possible because of you Reverend Stephanie, now Friend. Thank you from the deepest chambers of our hearts!!! With all of our love….Scott and Bert!

"Stephanie was a pleasure "

Stephanie was terrific throughout the whole process. She was prompt and clear with all of her communications. We had some weather issues to deal with and she went and bought umbrellas for everyone! You will not be disappointed with Stephanie. Highly recommended wedding officiant.

Rev. Stephanie was AMAZING! Our initial officiant, who was a family friend, canceled on us last minute and we were worried we wouldn't be able to find anyone. When we met with Rev. Stephanie we knew immediately she was the one. She went back and forth with us, writing several drafts to make sure our ceremony was perfect for us. She was extremely responsive and even texted us the day of to remind us not to forget rings and marriage license. She went above and beyond to make us feel special! She arrived early, came to the rehearsal at no extra charge, and didn't charge for an extra draft. She really made us feel important - not just like another couple. So many of the officiants treat you like just another couple, just another day, charging you basically for every interaction you have with them. Rev. Stephanie didn't nickel and dime people and was truly an amazing support during the process. I'd whole heartedly recommend her to anyone!

Thank you, Rev. Stephanie!! You are amazing!

Reverend Stephanie was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was very willing to work with us to make sure everything was tailored to our liking. We couldn't have asked for a better person to work with!

Stephanie brought genuine beauty and depth to our wedding. We worked with her pre-wedding on relationship, communication, and commitment. Stephanie was a wise guide and good friend. We are indebted.

Rev. Stephanie was Awesome! Throughout this entire process she was very responsive and prompt when making changes to vows. No matter the request, she went above and beyond our ask. Thank you for helping make our day special.

Reverend Stephanie was amazing. I called her on a Thursday/Friday (can't remember which) and asked her to do our wedding that same weekend. She responded immediately and wrote vows for us that fit our personalities and needs perfectly. She was extremely friendly and professional. Would definitely recommend!

Reverend Stephanie was a pleasure to work with. She is very personable and easy to communicate with. It was important for us to create a ceremony that was specific to our needs as a couple and Reverend Stephanie made that happen. The words she wrote were beautifully written and quite memorable. She spoke with us many times during our engagement and offered counseling when necessary. We were able to get through difficult challenges with her help. She helped me get ready on my wedding day and made me feel comfortable when my nerves were high. We would recommend her services to other couples. She made our special day unforgettable. Thank you so much! 

We struggled a little to find an officiant we were comfortable with, but from the moment we first met her, we knew Reverend Stephanie was the perfect match for us. In addition to fully understanding our needs and desires, she helped us to create space for our families to celebrate our marriage in a way that was meaningful for them without compromising our own beliefs. In just a few conversations she helped us to articulate our vision for our ceremony and then crafted a service for us that was so far beyond perfect it was almost overwhelming. On our wedding day, she was a calming presence who guided us through our "I do's" with ease and experience - she even helped us to craft our own vows that were meaningful to us (and included a few giggles, and a few choked up moments as well). We could not be more thankful for her guidance in making our lifetime promises to one another.

Reverend Stephanie and Many Rivers Ministries is the BEST! My husband and I were anxious at the thought of choosing an officiant but once we met Rev Stephanie we instantly felt at ease! Rev Stephanie crafted the perfect ceremony for us and was so helpful leading up to and even after our special day! We could not have chosen a sweeter spirit to officiate our day and I highly highly highly recommend her and her services!

Reverend Stephanie is the BEST!! She took the time to get to know my husband and I and we instantly knew that we had made the right choice in having her officiate our special day! If I ever had a question or wanted to make a change she was more than willing to help us! Reverend Stephanie crafted the most beautiful ceremony for us and even helped to calm my nerves as I stood before our guests reading my vows. Reverend Stephanie is truly great at what she does and coupled with her amazing spirit and energy we are so blessed to have had her standing with us on our day! Definitely highly recommended!!

Rev. Stephanie is the absolute best! She is patient, helpful and such an amazing presence. Not only did she make my biggest wish come true, to marry my best friend. But she was so sweet to our families. She was willing to jump in and help with anything, not only there to be the officiant. I would recommend her over and over. 

Stephanie was a pleasure to work with and gave us a truly special wedding ceremony. We connected with her and we just loved her energy. She is very good at what she does and she really appreciates and respects what she is doing: bonding 2 people for life! She’s an absolutely lovely woman!

My husband and I both cried a little when we first read the ceremony she had put together for us. It was a perfect blend of spirituality and christianity. Nothing was overwhelmingly religious, which is EXACTLY what we wanted. She is an excellent public speaker as well, her voice carried across the open field we were in, and all of our guests could hear and understand her!

Stephanie is very organized, and helped us take care of a lot of the legal paperwork needed to actually get married. She answered all of our questions about her services as well as the legal proceedings we needed to take (either on our own or thru her).

We highly recommend Stephanie!

My husband and I were married by Stephanie on October 28th of 2018. I have to say one of the things about Stephanie that you come to realize is that she encompasses and embodies what it means to be “of love”. She sat with me minutes before the ceremony was set to begin and helped calm my nerves (probably because I forgot to drink water- even though she reminded me many times), she had a copy of my vows on her because I ran out of time writing them down because I was focused on everything else, AND she had tissues because before anything else she prepares for you - knowing you like nothing else. I am beyond thankful for her. She thought of a soft rug for our ceremony for kneeling. And was graciously accepted and loving welcomed into our family throughout the night as we danced on. She is not 5 stars, she is 10 stars.

I highly, highly recommend her to anyone getting married in Charlotte or surrounding areas because she is prepared, accepting and will think of you and your personality in her ceremony writing and will include your thoughts into it.
