Carissa helped my husband and I craft a ceremony we all felt was perfect for us -- a ceremony focused solely on our story and our commitment to each other that intimately involved our friends and family.

We wanted our ceremony to be unique and Carissa offered a guiding hand and gave us options without being overbearing or pushy. The care she put into our wedding made us feel as if we were her only priority. She answered emails, phone calls and met with us several times to ease a nervous bride.

Helping to make the ceremony unique and personal, Carissa reached out to several of our friends and family for their insights into who we are as a couple, and threaded their words and feelings into the ceremony. Our ceremony didn't sound like something written or rehearsed, but came from the heart, which was obvious to all who attended.

From dozens of our guests, we heard -- and still hear -- comments about how strikingly warm and unique the ceremony was. Considering all the small headaches that accompanied that wonderful but admittedly stressful day, we honestly would not change a second or a word of our ceremony. This was in no small part to Carissa and her commitment to us as a couple.
