‘Sam is incredible! We actually changed the time or our elopement so that Sam could be our celebrant - We’re forever grateful that we did. Sam is calm, kind, organised and professional. We were stressed about planning an elopement in Portugal from the US and Sam really stepped up and helped guide us through.’
