Brenda M. Owen - Wedding Officiant, Minister, SC Notary Public

Brenda, the ceremony you wrote for us was perfect. Everyone commented so much about the family vows , sand ceremony and especially the reading part. That was the part that got me crying but at least I didn't bawl! The prayer was very meaningful to us. Thank you for being flexable with our last minute changes. We so truly appreciate everything that you did for us! David & Meredith

Rev. Brenda Everything was perfect; just the way we wanted it! Thank you!" - Carmen & Duncan - What a beautiful ceremony; I can tell you really care about your couples. The ceremony was beautiful, meaningful and heartfelt. - Linda ~ Mother of the Groom

~ September 2008 - Clemson, SC - Clemson Botanical Gardens - " Brenda, Thank you so much for all of your patience and concern for our family on such a special day. The ceremony was precious and it meant soooo much to us for the kids to be included. It was wonderful and everything was perfect! You are such a nice woman and I know with all my heart that we made the right decision choosing you. We will definately recommend your services to everyone! Special thanks for making it all possible."

Brenda is absolutely amazing to work with! We met with her once before the day of our wedding and felt like we have known her forever. She was very helpful with helping me find other vendors. She personalized our ceremony to fit what we liked. She had the option for a wine ceremony (which i had never heard of) and we a lot of compliments from our guest about the wonderful officiant & the ceremony she performed. Brenda was completely prepared and it was a pleasure to have her perform our wedding ceremony!!

Brenda is amazing. She is wonderful to work with not with just the ceremony part, but she is willing to help with anything. She is great at giving suggestions and advice as well. Brenda is great at personalizing your ceremony the way you want it to be, down to every detail!!! She won't just make it perfect for the couple, but she makes the guests feel special too!!! Brenda truly made our wedding day absolutely wonderful and unforgettable. I would definetely recommend her to anyone who wants to get married whether it be an elopement, private wedding, small wedding, or large wedding. She will make it perfect!!!

Brenda married us on June 20th at The Pond House is Starr, SC and we couldn't have been happier with the ceremony. The words she wrote for us were very beautiful and had very special meaning to us both. Even though it was elopement, she seemed to put just as much effort into writing our "just for 2" ceremony as she would have for a wedding of 400. Her communication with us leading up to our day was fantastic. She always responded to our emails within an hour or two which made our long distance planning so much smoother. She is such a sweet lady with a great sense of humor and a wonderful laugh. :-) She's very professional but also puts you completely at ease as she guides you easily through the most anticipated day of your life. We could not give a higher recommendation for an officiant than Brenda. She made our day absolutely perfect. We couldn't have asked for more. Thanks, Brenda! We promise to stay in touch. Much love to you! Brian and Kim

Brenda was awesome! We have loved her since our first time meeting to discuss our wedding! She performed such a fun, unique ceremony that we will never forget. Brenda really puts the 'extra touch' in when writing your wedding vows. She is also kind of enough to speak with you all along and gives you wonderful wedding tips! We love her so much, we will stay in touch with her from here on out!

Brenda did a great job. She was so much fun and made everyone laugh! She was also helpful with the planning process. I received so many compliments on the service, especially on the wording of the ceremony.

Brenda, Thank you for the pictures from our wedding (they are some of our most favorite so far!) and for conducting the ceremony. We got so many comments and you really made this process less stressful for us! I gave you a rave review, of course! Thank you again for everything, you were an absolute pleasure to work with & we will recommend your service to anyone in need of an officiant! Our Review: The whole situation of planning and getting married was very stressful, but Brenda really alleviated some of my stress by showing up to the ceremony early, providing a table for our sand ceremony, and by walking us through the whole process. I was nervous about arranging an officiant, but she was really nice and actually rather funny! When I think about an officiant, I think of someone who is rather stuffy and all business. I have seen other officiants when I attended weddings as a guest, and Brenda was by far the best one! She helped my clueless husband and I through the whole ceremony process. She suggested that we get pictures of us signing the marriage certificate, which I would never have thought about. We integrated a poem into a semi-religious ceremony. We also included a sand ceremony. Since we had never seen anyone do this before, let alone participate in one, Brenda's guidance was much needed and she was right there to help us. Many of my guests commented on Brenda's work as an officiant. They thought she was fun and personable. We both love, love Brenda and are so happy she was our officiant! I would highly recommend her services to anyone! She is flexible and ready to adapt to the situation at a moment's notice. Thank you Brenda! Natalie & Chris

Brenda, We will gladly write a review for you! Again, thank you so much for everything! You were wonderful to work with and I appreciate you being so on top of everything and efficient! In addition, the ceremony you wrote was amazing! I have a couple of girlfriends who know Nick and my situation and they said some of the things you wrote and said in the ceremony were so relevant to us and our situation and they thought your ceremonywas excellent as well. Thanks so much! Sincerely, Jennifer and Nick xxooooxxxooo

Brenda, Thank you so much for officiating our wedding. We loved the ceremony you wrote for us. You were a true professional and you were a tremendous help during the planning and the unexpected moments (crazy rain, missing parents!) that seemed 'so big' but ended so perfectly. Our wedding was a dream come true and we're so glad you helped us bring it all to life. All the best, Yong & Bethany

Brenda was our officiant for our April 17th wedding at Twigs Tempietto in Greenville.Brenda was absolutely perfect from beginning to end! She took the time to get to know us, and personalized our ceremony to fit our family. She is very friendly, efficient and a very good hearted person who is pleasant to work with. We would recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant. I'm sure she gives the same personal attention and overall experience to all of her customers:)She's great!Diane & Xavier M

Really great to work with! She made our day so special with the personalization of our ceremony. Anything we wanted for our ceremony she did and made it work. The communication was great, always returned emails within a few hours of sending them. She helped us with writing our own vows, and she even gave us great pointers and tips for other things. Brenda is truly a great person to have officiate your ceremoney.

Rev.Brenda has a wonderful, big heart and it shines through in her ceremonies. She takes the time to get to know each couple and add something so special to every union, her words will live on in each marriage. She is more than just an officiant or minister, she has a great knowledge of all things "wedding" and is happy to share.

Brenda and I have worked together during several weddings. She is great and really knows what she is doing. She is a professional that makes the Bride and Groom relax and just enjoy the moment. She always advises the Bride & Groom the times the photographer will take pictures, so they are ready and look their best for the camera. I really don't endorse many companies, but Brenda Owens is my favorite officiant!!

Not only is Brenda an AMAZING officiant, but she works so hard to make sure her brides have all the information they need to plan their big day. She goes above and beyond to network and recommend great vendors. She truly loves weddings and takes great care of her couples.

I recommend the services of Brenda M. Owen to make your Wedding Day a one-of-a-kind event that will be remembered and cherished by you and all your guests for years to come. ~~ Angela www.calligraphybyangela.com 214 957 2155Dallas Calligrapher

Brenda knows exactly what it takes to make sure your ceremony is special, memorable and flawless. Her level of professionalism during the planning process, the rehearsal, and the day of the ceremony reflect her experience and ability to put the bride and groom at ease.

Photographers see and hear a lot of officiants and Brenda Owen is 'a cut above'. She is a wonderful Officiant / Minister and her ceremonies are fresh and different... not the 'same boring wording' you will get from most. She writes a beautiful wedding ceremony from her heart and has lots of great ideas and recommendations (if you need any). Brenda is upbeat, fun and a joy to work with. I always look forward to the weddings we work together. http://SusanGrayPhotographer.com

Reverend Brenda is an officiant/minister we always look forward to working with. She has a motherly way about her that makes every bride feel comfortable and relaxed. She always takes her time in getting to know the couple and writing a personal ceremony for them, she is articulate and every word comes from her heart.

Working with Brenda was such an enjoyable experience. She puts such love and enthusiasm in her work it is truly touching. She went above and beyond in her duties, even helping myself (the catering director) with the final touches and helping direct guest as to where to go. But Brenda's biggest asset is her ceremonies. I have never heard someone speak the way she did - it unbelievably touched my heart so much that I plan on using Brenda for my own wedding. I highly recommend her and hope I get to work with her much more in the future.Sheena Womack - www.greenvalley.cc
