Stephanie is an absolute professional. I have never experienced such a multi-faceted wedding officiant. Not only did she guide us through the expectations and her process, she really took the time to get to know us as a couple, how we met, and what we loved about each other; all so she could interpret those experiences into her own presentation to us and our guests.
She is friendly, engaging, punctual, available, and a wonderful communicator. But this is just speaking to her role as officiant. There is SO much more to Stephanie. In addition to leading the wedding ceremony, Stephanie and her amazing guitarist, Enoch, performed live music during the cocktail hour and throughout dinner. It was magical and added so much to the experience. She has an amazing voice and repertoire of songs that hit just the right note, with many singing along. I cannot even express how impressive it was that they learned the music and lyrics to our first dance with just a few weeks notice and completely nailed it. It was PERFECT.
Now, if that were not enough, Stephanie then KILLED it as DJ for the party after the wedding dinner! Who else can do that? We had a true 'micro-wedding' of 12 in a beautiful villa in Tamarindo. A super intimate and close knit group. Stephanie joined the festivities and really adding to the good vibes on the dancefloor. We'd use her 100 times again and strongly recommend you do too!
Stephanie did an amazing job in really getting to know us. She paid special attention to our wants, helped craft the moment and helped us every step of the way. It simply could not have been a more beautiful and heartfelt ceremony. It is a memory we will carry for a life time.
What an incredible day with Stephanie! We are so grateful we found her to perform at our wedding. Planning a destination wedding in Costa Rica is definitely challenging, but Stephanie made the process so much easier. She is kind, lovely, and has an amazing voice! Stephanie was able to put together an amazing 6 piece band and followed our requests perfectly. If you are looking to have a live band or even DJ at your Costa Rica wedding, we would highly recommend that you work with the amazing Stephanie Waltrip!
Stephanie was truly amazing to work with. We hired her as both our ceremony officiant and our reception DJ. She absolutely crushed it in both roles. She created a beautiful ceremony script for us, and when it came time to party after dinner, she read the room perfectly and queued up the best songs. More impressively, she sings in a band and would be perfect for any events where that fits your criteria. If you're looking for a talented, professional, and charismatic individual, don't hesitate to contact Stephanie!
It was top notch! Stephanie you are made for this! Your creative ideas, energy and commitment fulfill the space with joy. We are truly happy to have chosen you to officiate our wedding ceremony. You go far beyond expectations.
Stephanie was awesome! She really took the time to get to know us. She made it personal. She is upbeat and multi-talented. She mad it easy and wanted the very best experience for us, no matter what that meant for her. Come to Costa Rica and let Stephanie perform your ceremony under the shade of the palms, to the beat of the waves, and with the ocean breeze blowing your jitters away. You’ll love every minute of it.
