Just married

What the.....? I don't have the words.


That was grossly inappropriate on her part. Especially as it was not part of the rehearsal. I take it she had never mentioned she would do this? If not, it sounds to me like this is grounds for at least a partial refund. I'd discuss it with her at length and if she defends this action I'd leave a bad review. She shouldn't EVER do this to anyone else without consent.

Looking at the other responses, I can see this was not part of tue rehearsal. Which I would say is grounds for some type of reimbursement. My officiant also did not allow my husband to see me until I got to the front. The Groomsmen and everyone else could see me but he had his back towards me and it was very cute to see his reaction when he turned around, he almost fainted haha! But this was definitely part of my rehearsal so we knew it was coming. I'm sorry to hear you went through that especially since it was out of the blue. I'd definitely warn future couples of this.

View quoted message Nope she never did it at rehearsal. Nothing was said at all it was sprung on the day of.

Did you have a rehearsal? Did the officiant say she was going to do that at the rehearsal or was it sprung on you two on the day of as a surprise? If this was not mentioned at the rehearsal and that the groom not seeing the bride until she's at the altar was a condition of their service, you certainly have a case for some kind of reimbursement.

That's not her call yo make on your day. She should have said this before yo make him aware. It would be good to leave something saying beware of this happening when booking this Officiant.

She's done this before????? I would defiantly write a review to let other couples know about this so it doesn't happen to others

Wow, that was uncalled for, Sorry you went through that and I would do a review. It's not up to her to decide to do that, and again just because she did it to others doesn't give her the right to continue. I would be pissed as well. Stevie is right, you had a great day, a wonderful marriage and he was probably still breath taken when he saw you, don't dwell on it to long, write your review to prevent this to happen to other brides, she should apologies to you and at least give you a discount for ruining a perfect moment.

View quoted message She said she's done it many times and that no one ever complained until I spoke up

View quoted message Yup she told me she did it to others and no one complained I thought well obviously those people don't speak up like I do.

What the ****???? Make sure you leave a review and let other people know before booking them. I’m so sorry that happened but please know that it doesn’t take away from how your husband felt when he saw you right in front of him. You are going to have a beautiful marriage! But also…get your money back 😡

Oh my gosh I am so sorry that happened to you. I have never seen that before. I would possibly write a complaint
