About the Founder of AZ Weddings By Amy

Amy Stephens

Amy has been organizing events and public speaking for over 2 decades.

Officiating Weddings since 2015, Amy was asked to support a friend for her wedding ceremony. Amy’s calm voice and loving words come from her yoga teachings and energy healing sessions, which are spiritual and nature-driven.

Each of Amy’s couples states the most how supportive, organized, patient, and in tune with them she was both before and during the ceremony. Anxiety doesn’t need to run high when working with Amy!

Due to my schedule (and yours), the best way to start our communication is to START HERE and provide me with some details.

This photo represents one of the windiest weddings I have ever performed. The bride lost her veil, we were all planted firmly and going with the flow. We had to laugh and that is an important feature of outdoor weddings.

  • “I am so happy that we chose Amy to officiate our wedding

    “. Neither my husband nor I were wanting to have a religious based ceremony, but we still wanted something traditional and personal. Amy totally nailed it.

    When we first spoke with Amy we could tell that she really wanted to make our wedding special and completely aligned to our vision. She took the time to get to know us and gathered information about us individually to create a heartwarming and elegant custom made script for the ceremony.Am

    y was also very professional. She was detailed oriented, very organized, and always easy to get a hold of. She managed the rehearsal well and made sure everything went smoothly the day of the wedding. We highly recommend her!”

  • “I HIGHLY recommend AZ weddings by Amy!

    She made our day so special. It was exactly what we wanted! Just a little more personal than a courthouse but nothing too crazy and extravagant.

    The set up was perfect and calming!! Thank you so much Amy for being a apart of our day!”

    — 5* Oliva & Morgan (Sept. 3, 2019)
