Stephanie J. Batterman, Notary Public, Bath ME

It was a complete pleasure working with Stephanie! My husband and I wanted a spiritual ceremony that wasn't too religious, and Stephanie was able to help us create a ceremony that fit us perfectly! She took care of all of the details, which was a huge relief. She was even able to do the programs, which were beautiful! She even helped pin me into my wedding dress at the last second after a wardrobe malfunction. :-) She can seriously do it all! I would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a very special person to marry them!

Stephanie was a true joy to not only work with for our wedding ceremony but to get to know as a person. The moment we met Stephanie we felt immediately connected, respected, and comfortable. My husband and I had been through quite a bit together and had been friends for years before walking down the isle. Stephanie listened to our wishes and helped us to personalize every detail of the ceremony so that no word did not feel like our own on our wedding day. By the time the ceremony took place, it was not just an officiant marrying us, but a true friend that I know we will stay in touch with for years to come.

Stephanie was great! She was very response throughout the process. My husband and I wanted to have a very active role in designing our ceremony. Stephanie gave us some great samples and worked with us as we wrote our own vows and ceremony. She is very professional and very pleasant. Our guests really enjoyed the ceremony and Stephanie's voice was great; she was able to project outside without a microphone and everyone could here. We really enjoyed working with her and would definitely recommend her to couples in the Bath/midcoast area!

We found Stephanine to be very professional and personable. She guided us through the process and made good suggestions. Stephanie was very responsive from the moment of initial contact to the day of the wedding. Very flexible with meeting schedules to the wedding date. We would recommend her to any one whom is interested in getting married in the Mid-Coast area.

In short, Stephanie is great. We met with a lot of officiants who were very knowledgeable able the business of getting married, Stephanie was interested in the why. When you are surrounded by dollars signs and head counts and project lists, someone who cares about the marriage more than the wedding is wonderful. I thought about lowering a few scores so I could point out how particularity awesome Stephannie was on Responsiveness and Professionalism but I think a perfect 5 plus a special call of attention is more appropriate.

I first want to say that Stephanie Batterman provided such wonderful services to my now husband and I that I would have expected from an expensive wedding planner. From the first moment I spoke with her on the phone I knew she was the one to perform the wedding ceremony I had waited 40 yrs for. She has a way about her - calming, kind and caring. She gave us information that we wouldnt have even thought about as far as getting our license, costs, locations, and many other things. She responded to emails that I sent her promptly, even when I had the tiniest little things to ask. Stephanie felt like a family member to me...which I never expected. When we finally met her the day before our ceremony, I felt like I was meeting a long lost Aunt...she made everything feel so special and is incredibly easy to talk to. After the wedding, I hugged her and cried and cried--in happiness of course!! Stephanie's husband Dean was our witness and also took a few pictures for us. He was kind, friendly and truly a patient man. These people have a special place in our heart and I write all of this with nothing to gain and in total truthfulness. If you are thinking of getting married in Maine, and dont have someone to do the job, she is the person to call. She made me feel like a very special bride even though I was married in flip flops and a cotton dress. I can not thank her enough for her services and friendship.
