Michael, thank you very much! You were awesome! I wanted to let you know that we are so grateful that we had you as our officiant. Everybody liked the ceremony because of you. Thank you again!

– Lourdes & Rob

We had many guests come up to us after the ceremony to tell us how beautiful and moving it was and to ask if we knew Michael personally because he really seemed to know us!

I can’t tell you enough how lovely, eloquent, entertaining and charming you made our wedding ceremony. It fit our personalities and said what we wanted to say, to each other and to our friends and family. I was a bit worried because ours was the first in my family not to be held in a church. I thought some family members would think it was not as meaningful, but the opposite was true. 

Nicole & Mike

Celia, we cannot thank you enough for the beautiful ceremony you created for us. We both agreed that it was hands down the best part of our wedding day. Derek and I still get emotional thinking about it, and so many guests commented on how much they loved it.

There is not enough room for me to describe how amazing Michael was. He had such a beautiful reading about us. He told our story better than we could! There were happy tears, laughter, it was all around the most amazing experience we’ve had!

I would highly recommend Cari for your ceremonies as she has a way of engaging her crowd and making remarkable scripts that will really stand out. She will also ensure that the ceremony is very personalized to who you are as a couple. Thank you Cari for an incredible ceremony!

Michael perfectly balanced our story with laughs and tears – our guests raved about his delivery, and some were convinced he was one of our friends telling our love story firsthand.

Lauren V.

Celia, not only captured my fiancé and I perfectly in our ceremony but helped us make it beyond memorable. A week later we are still getting messages about how amazing and beautiful the ceremony was!

Ashley H.

Celia was an absolute pleasure to work with since day one. Her personality was the perfect fit for our non-traditional ceremony. It’s obvious she cares about her couples and especially about their stories, as she took all the questions we answered and neatly wove them into a beautiful ceremony that my friends and family have said is the best ceremony they’ve ever seen or heard!

Abigail H.

Celia was incredible on our big day. We got non stop compliments from our guests all night long about her and our ceremony! She made our ceremony feel and sounds like she had known us for years.

Liz S.

Celia’s extremely personable and calm energy made for a perfect flow of the ceremony. Her authenticity made it extremely easy for us to open up to her and she was super responsive to any of our questions we had throughout the entire wedding planning journey.
