About

Winner of the Weddingwire.com Couple's Choice Award for six consecutive years... thank you newlyweds!!! With This Ring has been featured on Style Me Pretty's Little Black Book Blog and in Wedding Magazine!

Providing Stress-Free Ceremony Planning/Officiant Services, affordable packages and proven experience! We also provide invitations, day of stationery, favors and accessories, too.

Serving SW MI (and a small amount of Northern IN) area. Based in Kalamazoo, but will travel to Grand Rapids, Holland, Grand Haven, and all points south of that, from the Lakeshore to Battle Creek/Marshall areas.

Your ceremony is the gateway to your marriage, and can be so much more than that "boring part you have to get through to get to the party". Selecting your officiant is an important first step in the ceremony process. If you need an independent officiant; one who will provide you with a wedding ceremony that celebrates your beliefs, look no further. All the important elements will remain: love, trust, respect, fidelity, honesty and family; without it being legalistic, long, and/or boring!

We are experienced officiants with many years providing weddings for hundreds of couples. Rev. Carleen or Rev. Véronique are ready to help make your ceremony vision a reality. Call, email or fill out our contact form today!

Carleen is the best!

Carleen was the best Officiant I have ever seen. She officiated my wedding last night and she was beyond amazing. She created an amazing message that blended my husband's Christian faith with my pagan faith.

Carleen did my brothers wedding before ours and we knew immediately we wanted to hire her. She takes the time to get to know you as a couple and does an outstanding job of making the ceremony personal. She makes the ceremony what you want it to be. I would totally recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant!

Rev. Carleen performs a wonderful service that I still get compliments on to this day! I've also referred her to other couples who had the same wonderful experience :)

Rev. Carleen was everything we wanted in an officiant and more. Not only did she help us figure out the type of service that we wanted, but she also wrote the most beautiful script to help us achieve it. She gave us a completely personalized ceremony and incorporated nearly every facet of our relationship into the details she was conveying to our guests. We had multiple guests approach us and tell us that it was the most beautiful and touching wedding ceremony that they have ever experienced. She was helpful, courteous, responsive, and attentive. No detail was left overlooked. We highly recommend booking your officiant services with Carleen and With This Ring. You won't regret it.

Rev. Carleen of With this Ring was our officiant at our June 2014 beach wedding. We had a very chill laid back feel for our day, and Carleen's services accented that beautifully. She created a ceremony script that was absolutely perfect for our day. She is such a warm and inviting soul, which made it very easy to work with her. I was fearful that since I had no idea what I wanted in a ceremony, the ceremony wouldn't really reflect us as a couple. Carleen somehow created the perfect script and encouraged our input along the way! Was so glad to have her guidance along the way!

Rev. Carleen was our officiant (With this Ring), she was amazing. Without even knowing us and only meeting us through paper and emails, she had the most amazing ceremony written for us. She captured our fun loving personalities and our family and friends thought she had known us for a long time. Thank You Carleen you really made our day.

Carleen got everything done in a timely manner and impressed many of our guests, all of a different religious orientation. I was impressed by that!

Carleen married us and gave us the perfect private and personal ceremony that we asked for! She was able to work with us though we provided very short notice (a few days). She was very patient as we showed up nearly an hour late to our own wedding and wrote beautiful vows for us. We will be using her again for our baby's dedication and baptism! Awesome officiant!

Carleen,
Jared and I can't thank you enough for officiating our less than traditional ceremony!

Carleen was very timely in her responses and very open to listening to our input. It was truly a joy to work with her and I would recommend her to anyone!

I have had the pleasure of working with "With This Ring" numerous times. I have been incredibly impressed by their level of detail they put into every single wedding. I look forward to being apart of more weddings with them in the future.

We love having Carleen from With This Ring here at the Radisson for wedding ceremonies. She never fails to create a beautiful, meaningful, and personalized ceremony for our brides and grooms!

I have had the pleasure of working with Reverend Carleen and a couple of occasions and she was very professional and personable. She made it easy to get good shots during the ceremony and allowed us to do some additional photos afterwards, besides the wedding certificate signing. The brides & grooms I have seen her work with have been extremely happy with her. I would recommend her to anyone.
