Charlene was absolutely amazing. In all stages leading to our special day she was beyond helpful and put the time/effort in make us feel special. The ceremony she wrote was incredible and her delivery was on point. To top it off Charlene was an absolute trooper when we made her wait around in the rain for an hour while we took photos.

We feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Charlene for our wedding. We had thought a lot about the meaning we wanted to convey in our ceremony, but were not sure how to make it work in the context of a wedding ceremony. Charlene was invaluable in using her experience to turn our ideas into something that captured our intentions perfectly and was incredibly personal and beautiful. We were told by multiple guests that what we created with Charlene’s help was the most meaningful ceremony that they had ever attended. Her presence throughout the process, and especially on the day of the wedding, was loving and confident. This inspired confidence in all who were a part of the ceremony and kept a calm energy throughout the process. Looking back at our wedding, we could not imagine a ceremony more perfect that what we created with Charlene. Her presence and experience allowed us to dream, hone our intentions, and bring ourselves wholly to our ceremony.
