Great experience working with Jim!

We had an excellent experience working with Journeys of the Heart. We worked with Jim Haley for our wedding and it was truly a pleasure. He was great to communicate with, well prepared, and we had full confidence throughout the process that everything would turn out great. Through the process he used to craft our ceremony, he had a great understanding of our relationship and personalities, and it was reflected on our wedding day. Jim was extremely kind and easy to work with and made preparing for our wedding ceremony very enjoyable. We have had a number of our guests tell us how our beautiful our ceremony was. Would highly recommend Journeys, and especially Jim!

Perfection!

We had the pleasure of working with Charlie Cooper as our officiant. He is the BEST. He went out of his way to meet with us in person to get to know us and what we wanted our wedding day to look like. He made us feel like we had known him for a long time. Charlie was always very punctual in his responses and made us feel at ease as our special day got closer and details were getting narrowed down.

We would recommend Charlie and his company a million times over!!

Customized Ceremony of Our Dreams

Working with Maria was truly a remarkable experience! She helped us customize an intimate wedding ceremony that reflected our values, cultures, and unique backgrounds. As an interracial and interfaith couple, we wanted to make sure that our ceremony was a true reflection of us as individuals and of the life we are creating together as we begin our marriage. Thank you for helping us bring our dream ceremony to life, Maria!

I have had the opportunity to work with Susan Harte of Journeys of the Heart multiple times. I cannot say enough good things about her. As a wedding planner (Love on a Shoe String) I have worked with many different personalities. Susan takes the time to know each couple and does such a beautiful job customizing each ceremony. Every client who I have referred Susan to has been absolutely thrilled!

I had the opportunity to work with Gabby and absolutely loved her and so did my couple. She customized the wedding to my couple and it was so cute and everyone enjoyed it. I wouldn't hesitate to refer her. She was exceptional at what she does!
