• Rhode Island Minister (Officiant)

Home Base: Rhode Island

Areas Served: RI/MA/CT

Learn more about her & get in touch

Minister Tressie Seymour of Rhode Island Minister is a sweet, laid-back, easy-going & very open-minded wedding officiant who’s committed to giving couples their dream ceremony. “The reason I started this business was because I LOVE love!” she shared with me when I asked about her “why.” “Many couples say when they are meeting with officiants, they’re noticing they have certain beliefs on marriage and weddings that are a little old fashioned. I feel that you should be able to have your ceremony how you want it, and I am just there to make it happen. If you’re in love and want to be married, you should be able to be married! I never judge and accept everyone for who they are.” If you & your love are like many of my couples and want to do things a bit differently on your big day, Minister Seymour might just be your perfect fit (especially if you’re thinking about planning a Disney-themed wedding—it’s her dream to officiate one!).
