You bring the love, I’ll bring the words.

Vows by Van Otterloo is for couples who want their ceremony to feel real, personal, and unmistakably them. I strive to write and officiate thoughtful, modern ceremonies rooted in your story — not templates, not clichés, completely unique to you. Whatever your love looks like, I want to help you say the words that actually mean something in a way that feels true to you.

“Amanda did a wonderful job with our vows! I don’t think there was a dry eye in the building. She took so much time to make sure she added personal details from our story you would’ve never known we didn’t personally know her. She even met with us before the wedding to get to know us before writing our ceremony. We had her write our vows and she did a wonderful job helping us express what we couldn’t find the words for ourselves. We would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for an officiant!”
