*Your Florida Wedding Notary & Officiant2Wed.com

Up until the day of my wedding, I was pleased with everything I got from Trish. My mother and I met Trish and her husband, Robert, at a St. Pete bridal show 7 months before my wedding. I booked them right away as they were both very enthusiastic people and we enjoyed talking with them. Over the course of that 7 months, Trish was super helpful with making plans with me, making suggestions of things that she thought would work well. We conversed mostly via email but we did talk on the phone on several occasions as well and when I went to Florida 5 weeks before my wedding on a business trip, she cleared her schedule so she could meet with me in person. I ended up having Robert officiate the wedding and Trish was the coordinator for the ceremony. I had such pleasant interactions with Trish throughout those months that my fiance and I extended an invitation to the both of them to attend our reception as guests. Now, to address the coordinating aspect of the day: I don't know what happened or didn't happen but I know my family was not at all pleased with how things were handled down on the beach in getting ready for my ceremony. I don't know how much of it may have been Trish or if it was just the fact that there was another wedding happening literally right beside us. I was preoccupied and didn't bother to ask what the issues were because I didn't want to be stressing out over them before the ceremony and didn't want them to ruin my mood after the ceremony. I do know that right before I was getting ready to leave the hotel to walk down to the beach my bridesmaids were talking about her not having the music for the ceremony, even though we had talked about it the night before. When we got down there, she did have the laptop setup and she appeared to be playing music but I couldn't hear a single note so I don't know what was playing. It seems from reading reviews that it is hit or miss with how well organized she is the day of a wedding. I don't know what happened to them (because they are in the itemized list of what I paid for, marked as $0) but she was supposed to bring rose petals for my flowergirl but there were none and moments before my wedding I was left trying to keep a 5 year old from crying because she thought she couldn't be a flowergirl if she had no flowers to throw. As for the ceremony itself (officiating): Since Robert was the one performing our ceremony, I was a little concerned by the fact that Trish came to our rehearsal instead of him. I had also requested a prayer and he completely ommitted it from the ceremony. I didn't want anything specific, just a simple little blessing over the marriage and we got nothing. I am still waiting for a copy of our vows/reading/etc to be emailed to me. My main issue for the whole thing: Several times in the 2 months prior to the wedding I had talked with Trish about prices. She knew that I was concerned about our budget because I had just changed jobs and she assured me multiple times to not worry about it, that we could set up a payment plan. However, the day of the wedding I received a text message from her with the total we owed and wanting to know who her husband should get it from. As a stressed out bride, I just went ahead and wrote the check but I had to email her twice before I got an itemized list of what I had paid for. There were several items that, had I known how much it was going to cost me to borrow them, I would have just found a cheaper alternative myself. For instance, I loved the little pail my flower girl carried but it cost $10 for me to borrow it. I could have spent $10 on one myself (I actually turned down buying a used one for $3 because I wanted the beach themed pail) and then had it for my flowergirl to keep or to re-sell myself. Same goes for the treasure-box card box I borrowed at a rate of $25. I know wedding items are expensive but I feel like I could have come up with a cheaper alternative. I suppose, because of how well everything had gone up to this point, had I mentioned to Trish something about the payments on the day of the wedding, she may have recalled the conversations we had but I just needed to get things done and didn't have time to argue anything. Also, in looking at the invoice Trish emailed me there are some things she didn't even charge me for, like helping me by fixing the boutonnieres the night before the wedding after I had struggled to get them finished the way I wanted them. So even though it wasn't perfect and there were rough edges I do think I would still recommend them to a friend. My main suggestion to a bride would be to make sure somebody other than yourself knows what to expect, so you can make sure all is being done as it should be. Like I said before, my family wasn't happy but I don't know WHY they weren't happy and I don't know if maybe their expectations were higher than what I...

Trish was very friendly, professional, flexible, and helpful during the planning and the ceremony. Out of all the other officiants, she was the one that instantly got back to me and her prices were more than fair. She was open to having us read part of the vows in a different language, which made it very special for us.

DO NOT use Trish Schachinger from Your Florida Wedding Notary for your wedding!!!! She did the officiating and the flowers at my wedding and both were a DISASTER! I have NEVER had or heard of such awful service on the day of my wedding. Do not be fooled. She was very responsive and attentive up until the actual week of the wedding. I actually referred her to 2 of my friends before my wedding even occurred as she seemed too good to be true. Well, she was definitely too good to be true! She failed to show up for a meeting a week before the wedding- no call, no show. After contacting her 2 days later she brushed it off as a phone mix up with her husband. After rescheduling, we scheduled a meeting where she was to go over all the details of the wedding day and bring all my flowers. She failed to bring the flowers, and the one sample she had was the complete wrong color. She assured me she would fix it. She called 30 minutes before my rehearsal stating she was running late and wouldn't be able to make it so I had to run my own rehearsal. The morning of the wedding she dropped off my flowers to me and they were still all the wrong colors, but of course I had to deal with it. The grandfather boutineers were about 1 inch big and were hideous. She said she would redo them and bring them to the ceremony, which I never got. She forgot the flower petals for the flower girl and aisle so she proceeded to try and buy roses and pluck off the petals (wrong color and didn't have nearly enough to be seen) She forgot the flowers for the top of the cake and the best man boutineer. But worst of all...she showed up 2 hours late to the ceremony. She was supposed to be there at 3 to set some things up, ceremony started at 4....she arrived at 4:45!!! She went to the wrong venue...twice....which was on the papers I had sent and wouldn't have happened if she showed up for the rehearsal. And then she had to set up the candle lighting and memorial that she was in charge of. The guests and wedding party were flipping out, not knowing why the ceremony hadn't started, not to mention the stress I was going through with the flowers and her being late! She avoided me when she arrived and when she left (still has not said one word to me) We had to chase her down to sign our marriage license after the ceremony. , I had written the ceremony script WORD for WORD for her....and she still messed it all up! How do you do that when it is verbatim! And to top it all off, she used paint on the flowers (to try and get the color right, I suppose) and failed to tell me. As soon as my bouquet touched my dress, it was dyed hot Pink...before the ceremony and pictures! Ugh....steer clear of Trish Schachinger from yourfloridaweddingnotary.com Worst experience EVER!!

Trish was amazing! She truly is a pleasure to deal with and is very accomodating. We told her the type of ceremony we were looking for and she gave us exactly what we wanted. Our ceremony was beautiful. Trish was so helpful throughout all our planning and offered to do anything to accomodate us. We couldn't of asked for anyone nicer to perform our ceremony. Thanks for everything Trish! You made our day so special!

Trish, you are wonderful and everything that I was looking for in a ceremony officiant! We planned everything from the decorations to the sky and everything turned out perfectly. You answered every email and phone call with patience, kindness and a genuine desire to help me fulfill my dream ceremony. I believe your affordability goes along with your sincere desire to spread joy in the lives of couples and families alike. \r\nYour daughter/assistant is also an amazing young woman who was gracious and most helpful on our big day. I gladly recommend your services, business and person to anyone that wishes to marry or reaffirm their vows. I really am unable to thank you enough!!

Trish was an amazing woman to work with. She was very flexible with everything. She listened to everything I was looking for in a wedding. She made sure everything ran smoothly. She helped me get my flowers which were perfect. Everything turned out perfect and I would recommend her and her services to anyone. Thank you Trish for everything!

My fiance and I had a very difficult time choosing an officiant for our wedding. Since the officiant sets the mood and theme of the whole wedding, we had pretty high standards. We wanted someone who could conduct a non-religious ceremony and that would also be able to do some day-of coordination with busting our budget. Trish did it all! We met with her before the wedding, and discussed everything... and more. We were really comfortable with her right away and knew that she was the officiant for us. We discussed and finalized the ceremony mainly through email and we sent her a list of everything that needed to get day of. And that is all we had to do! She did everything else :) The ceremony was beautiful and the whole day went off without a hitch.

I could not recommend Trish and Rob at yourfloridaweddingnotary more highly! They provided the most incredible personal service at such amazing value. From my very first contact with Trish I was reassured and put at ease... she was so friendly, flexible and helpful when I was feeling very nervous and completely out of my depth... she was also incredibly accomodating considering the last-minute nature of my wedding. We had a small ceremony on the beach on Anna Maria Island with just my family and a friend. I arrived with my parents just before the ceremony was due to start, and Robert came over and introduced himself to me and clarified a couple of details for how I'd like the ceremony to go. He is such a truly lovely man it would be impossible not to like him instantly, with a lovely style for conducting the ceremony... he said he wanted to make sure it went the way we wanted it and he really went out of his way to ensure that. My husband and I honestly wouldn't change a thing about our wedding, and a huge part of that is thanks to Robert... we feel very lucky to have been married by him. Trish and Robert had a lovely selection of ceremonies and vows to choose from and we found one which was so perfect for us that I cried almost the whole way through my vows. I have a copy that we were given after the ceremony and they still make me cry when I read them... they are beautiful. We then chose an Apache blessing which finished the ceremony off beautifully. Trish and Robert made our day amazing... I have been to so many weddings and never felt such sincerity and warmth from the officiant. My new husband and I can only thank them from the depths of our hearts for making our day perfect. If I had all the money in the world to plan a wedding I would choose them every time.

Our officiant Trish, was wonderful. She was willing to meet with me anytime I needed to. She sent us several wedding vows to choose from and even gave us other ideas for our ceremony. She was perfect!!!

Trish & Robert were amazing! Trish coordinated our ceremony and Robert officiated. They were both great to work with and extremely helpful. We would highly recommend them!

Trish was wonderful! I decided to go with the option of having her be the "Day of Coordinator". I am so glad I did. She did a great job of making sure everything was in order. She was very flexible and professional when the rain forced me to get dressed and ready at the venue which was not the original plan. She also helped set up the ceremony programs I had printed. She worked very well with the other vendors and was very professional with working with them. I gave her the checks for the vendors and she made sure everyone received them. I wrote out the ceremony based on some of her suggestions. It was a short, small ceremony and it was exactly what we wanted. Trish was also very responsive to my calls and e-mails and arrived early to the ceremony. I would definitely recommend her.

We were very happy with Trish for our officiant. We met with her a few times and talked for hours, she very personable and easy to work with. She shared alot of great ideas and went above and beyond to make our wedding beautiful. I highly recommend her!

Trish was Great.. We were going to get married on the beach, but it started raining Trish was willing to go on the beach in the rain, just to make me happy. Also Trish went and picked up my wedding cake for me and got my sand and vessells, that saved me time. Trish always answered my questions and always responded to my questions in a timley manner, no matter what the question was. I loved that she took the time and drove hours to meet me and my husband, so I did not have to drive two hours to meet her. I would always recomended her to anyone because she took the time to get to know me and give me exactly what I wanted. My day was the greatest because of her. Mattie Brooker

Trish actually meets with you before the wedding to answer any questions you may have. She will help you with flowers, picutes and what ever else you may want. A lot of the other companies I found on the internet did none of that. Most of them you don't even meet face to face until the day of your wedding. Trish was awesome and I hightly recomend her to anyone that wants to do a beach wedding!

I wish we could give higher ratings a 5 doesnt do justice to Trish!! She is an 11+ all the way around! We were so pleased with her from the first email of many, to our lovely ceremony right up to saying goodbye in the driveway! Trish is an amazing gal, I couldnt have pulled this off living in PA and being married in Florida without her. She truly went over and beyond with helpful information prior to our ceremony, she isnt afraid to research and make your day what you want it to be. It was all about us and what we wanted in a ceremony. I would highly recommed her to anyone who wants to have a memorable and enjoyable wedding. I trusted Trish with my special day, she made everyone feel at ease and far exceeded our expectations. We, absolutely loved her!!! Connie & Steven Mcneal

I decided that it was time for my husband and I to renew our vows, I wanted to surprise him with it though, so it was really fun planning it with my wedding officiate Trish. Trish was absolutely AMAZING! she answered my endless amount of questions right away! In fact i got so used to recieving her emails on a daily basis that now that its all over with i miss her! She let me know that I could call or email anytime (which i took advantage of) and with this being a surprise she handled everything accordingly. I could not have asked for a better wedding planner/officiate. My ceremony was absolutely perfect and everything that i had requested was there and done beautifully.On top of that it was very reasonably price, I would go so far as to say that i thought it would have been more expensive. The whole process was virtually stress free for me which was an important factor! i would recommend Trish's services to anyone! She handled everything with ease,professionalism,honesty, and warmth. I am beyond pleased with everything.

She was very responsive to our needs and incorporated out ideas into the perfect wedding.....Couldn't have asked for anything more.

Trish went out of her way for us and took the time to go over things with us when we were not sure what to do. She planned everything out and made us feel as comfortable as she could. She was great all around.
