Barbara was fantastic! We were so delighted to work with Barbara as she did our ceremony very persoalized and special.
Barbara has her own approach, she met with us a couple of months before our weeding to get to know us in person. From the first day she worked with us very closely trying to create ceremony that would be the best for us.
Barbara has a fun cheerful personality, in the same time she is very professional and always responded to our e-mails and questions right away.
Thank you again, Barbara for making our day so beautiful and unforgettable!

Barbara is the best! She was such a huge help and her attitude is always loving and positive. Really a great advantage when planing a stressful wedding. She helped us tackle any last minute issues, always with a smile.

Our ceremony was perfect and memorable. All our guests mentioned it as the part of the wedding they liked the best. It really reflected us as a couple.

I completely recommend Barbara to any couple out there who are looking for a really personalized and special ceremony.

I just want to say how extremely pleased both my husband and myself were to have Barbara Michaels as our Wedding Officiant. She went above and beyond what we expected for our ceremony. Everything was absolutely perfect for us! She was extremely compassionate, professional, accomodating for short notice and Barbara made the both of us feel extremely comfortable on this special day. Words used for the ceremony were very unique and nothing we have ever heard used before. We thank her dearly for her ministry and pray that she is used continually to join couples together. She is highly recommended by us. Much Love and great success to her. Mantwan & Denise

If you want a warm, touching, whimsical and PERSONAL ceremony, please look no further. Barbara Ann Michaels is exactly who you are looking for. She crafted a ceremony that was so uniquely US--it truly felt like she had known us for years. We had several people walk up to us after us and tell us it was absolutely the best ceremony they have ever attended. I couldn't have been more pleased with the ceremony and Barbara was an absolute dream to work with. She met with us several times, was very responsive over email, and over all just made us feel extremely comfortable. I can't say enough good things!!

Thank you so much Barbara!!

Barbara is a genius. An officiant-savant! She helped us craft the most wonderful ceremony we've ever been party to. OK, we’re biased, but even our friends and family were blown away. From the moment we met her up until the I-do’s we felt right at home, and at peace. We immediately knew we could place our trust in her, both in crafting the ceremony, and then handing ourselves over to her on the day of. Better than we imagined!!! Our wedding was completely joyous, and even a surprise to us after working with her for the month leading up to the day. If you place a premium on love and joy, we can’t imagine anyone better to officiate your day!!!

Barbara was a pleasure to work with. We met her via Skype and had several phone conversations with her. She helped to make our ceremony original, heartfelt, warm and entertaining. She took our words and transformed them into beautiful vows. Our guests commented that it seemed she knew us our entire lives. She took the time to ensure our ceremony reflected our lives and relationship. I would recommend her to everyone.

Barbara was awesome!!!! Our experience was more than we could have imagined. We are very grateful for Barbara and her knowledge to make a beautiful ceremony. She worked with us to the very end with more detail then we would have thought of. She was very flexible and loving with our matrimony. I would recommend her to anyone that wishes to have a perfect wedding. We got married in a helicopter over Manhattan at night and it was PERFECT!!!

In the fairytales the prince and princess have to go through a lot of challenges in order to finally get married and live happily ever after. Our wedding was no exception as we were supposed to be married at the city hall the Friday after hurricane Sandy when our family and friends from Denmark were in town. It didn't work out as planned because of the power loss and computer issues, but luckily something much better was waiting for us :) I found Barbara Ann online and loved here sweet picture, so I gave here a call immediately that Friday to ask her if she could marry us the very next day, and the answer was yes! We didn't even get the chance to meet before the ceremony, but just from hearing Barbara Ann's voice on the phone and listening to her inputs, I knew that this is a woman we could trust and someone who has a deeper understanding of love and life. The spontaneous wedding the next day on the top of the building were we live was fun, personal and very romantic. I loved how Barbara Ann involved our guest in the ceremony and that my husband and I had the chance to speak to each other in our mother tongue (Danish) - Kleenex moment! We had a magical day and I'm so, so happy that the universe made it happen so that Barbara Ann was the one conducting this big day. She did a great job, she provides amazing service - and most important of all: she has a huge heart and she smiles with it too :)

Barbara gave us the most amazing and personalized and perfect ceremony. After meeting with Barbara for the first time both my husband and I wrote more about each other and our story in secret. Barbara then wove this into the most beautiful and personalized ceremony. When I meet with people who attended our wedding they remark how meaningful and wonderful our ceremony was. It was perfect for us, it showed who we were, what we believed in, and allowed us to truly express how we felt about each other.

Simply put, Barbara has an aura of love about her, you can tell she truly loves what she does and enjoys meeting all the different couples that she can help bring together. She is professional and brings ideas and emotion to your day that I believe is unmatched by any officiant I have ever seen.

We were married 10-18-12, Barbara as our officiant--- We couldn't of been happier! She was organized, professional and very kind. She offered great suggestions and made things so easy for us. She definitely went above and beyond to make sure that we had a beautiful and personal ceremony. We are so happy we found her and would strongly recommend using her as an officiant!

Barbara Ann Michaels made my recent marriage to my husband a dream come true. From the first moment I virtually met Barbara over Skype - to the day of my wedding when I saw her running up to give me a huge hug - I never once doubted I had made the right choice. The months and weeks leading up to the big day were filled with happy memories and stories as Barbara personally wrote our ceremony. Every time I had a question - she was there to help us out. As we were planning the wedding half way across the country, this was a huge stress relief. She was an expert with the venue and I never once questioned her suggestions.
Barbara has truly found her calling as an officiant - and nothing that fate threw at us could ever shake her! Even when a folk band was performing directly next to our wedding venue (as it was in a public space). Not only did Barbara personally get the band to lower their volume and stop playing for our vows - she was able to arrange for them to perform an impromptu first dance for my husband and me. It was something you would see in a movie, and will forever be one of those memories that went from a possible disaster to a moment I will never forget in my entire life.
All my love to you Barbara! You have a true gift and I thank you for everything you did for us that day (and after)!

Barbara is amazing, she was the perfect wedding officiant we could ever asked for.. From the begining she really tried to incorporate our history into the ceremony and she did an amazing job.. She had incredible ideas about for us, and she really helped us! We would recomend her a millon times, to millions of couples out there!

We renewed our wedding vows with a ceremony that Barbara helped us write. She was excellent and truly amazing with finding out about us as a couple and family. She used our history together to bring some uniqueness to our day. Barbara made us both feel really at ease. She has a wonderful way with words and understood exactly what we wanted in our ceremony. We would recommend Barbara to anyone as we found her an excellent jester of the peace. Barbara has a wonderful personality which made our day more enjoyable.

I wanted to plan a surprise wedding for my fiancé and Barbara made it possible beyond my dreams. We collaborated back and forth through emails and phone calls so that she could personalize the wedding. Barbara was extremely inspirational, fun, and creative. Even just the drafts of our ceremony brought tears to my eyes. The day of the wedding couldn't have been more perfect. Barbara took care of every little detail and more. The ceremony was heartfelt and completely personal. It was though we had all known each other for years.

Barbara worked with us to create a ceremony so special and memorable. We knew we were in goods hands when we realized that she really would go to any length to create something that spoke to us as a couple. Her passion was clear from the first day that we met. As nerve wracking as the thought of speaking so personally in front of a crowd of friends and family can be, her presence and words of encouragement helped us to relax and concentrate on enjoying all of the very beautiful moments of our ceremony. What we were even more impressed by was her masterful spontaneity that showed her ability to be in the moment rather than being all pre-planned. It really added that special something to the ceremony and revealed her to be a truly genuine spirit that came across to all of our guests that day. We were so happy with our choice to have her represent us as a couple.

We were referred to Barbara by a friend who knew that we wanted a personalized, but non-denominational ceremony. Barbara was extremely professional, thoughtful and flexible. We were very happy that she wanted to know our 'love story" in order to develop a touching ceremony. Many of our friends and family said that they felt that our ceremony reflected us as a couple. We highly recommend Barbara without any reservations.
