AC was incredible and such a joy to work with! She did an AMAZING job helping us create a very personal and special ceremony. She told us we'd be able to go back and forth with her for edits as many times as needed, but we hardly needed to edit the ceremony at all - AC really took the time to get to know us and get our input on the ceremony at our initial meeting.

She had some amazing suggestions for ceremony elements (like the ring warming ritual) which our guests LOVED! I have gotten countless complements on how unique, meaningful, and special our ceremony was. Our guests all loved it and were really impressed with a lot of the elements that they had never seen before, but which they all agreed were wonderful.

Again, AC was a joy to work with - she made this part of the wedding planning incredibly easy and stress-free, and really helped us create a ceremony we will never forget. I would not recommend anyone else to any of my friends.

A.C. is great -- she is professional, easy to work with, and very, very, very flexible. We had a non-traditional, slightly offbeat wedding but from some of A.C.'s stories it sounds like she can even do really offbeat if that's what you need. When it was time for the big show, A.C. really knocked it out of the park. We knew she was going to do a great job but we still came away impressed by her performance. She helped create a great atmosphere for the ceremony -- joyous, inviting, fun, meaningful. She really exudes a great warmth. A.C. is an awesome officiant and highly recommended!! (Thanks, A.C.!!!)

AC Warden did a beautiful job with the ceremony for our October 2011 wedding. After our initial meeting with AC, we knew she was the right person to help us write some of the most important and meaningful words two people can say to each other. Her approach to creating a personalized ceremony is fantastic and she made the process very easy for us. I received many, many compliments from guests on how personal and moving the ceremony was, I would highly recommend AC.

Right from the start I felt that we clicked with A.C. We wanted a ceremony that had weight - that had joy, yes, but also was mindful of the road we were choosing and what marriage means. We wanted a ceremony that had symbolism in it, too - I'm quite big on ritual and its importance.

When we met, A.C. went through with us ideas that we could encorporate and heard some of the ideas we had. She quickly understood the tenor of what would suit us. This is a great skill she has - and was underscored when we saw the first draft of our wedding ceremony. She had channeled the atmosphere and what we wanted! She had encorporated the ideas we'd talked about so that they were natural and had the desired effect. Not at all an easy task!

On the day, she conducted the ceremony with poise, warmth, humor and gravitas. I had many of our guests tell me that it was the best wedding ceremony they'd attended and many complemented A.C. herself.

One friend told me that I'd restored his faith in non-liturgical wedding ceremonies. I think that sums up A.C.'s top qualityness very nicely.

AC created a beautiful ceremony for our September wedding. We had a great first meeting with her to talk about ourselves and what we were looking for in an officiant and ceremony. We wanted a secular service and something personal, but nothing cheesy or new-agey. She worked with us and got input from our families to craft a great service. She was flexible in making changes, incorporating our readings, and cutting it down to a good length. She led our rehearsal and helped keep our large bridal party organized and the ceremony went very well. We would definitely recommend AC to anyone.

Ac was the best officiant. We wanted someone that understood what we wanted in a wedding and was flexible with the marriage vows. We had an idea but didn't know exactly how we wanted the ceremony. AC gave us multiple suggestions and we were able to choose what was right for us. The ceremony went off without a hitch and we couldn't have been happier.

Thanks AC!

The most stand-out thing I can say about A.C. is that during this time we were buying a house using a loan that required us to be married before the actual ceremony. So she met us and had a small ceremony months before the wedding at no extra charge. She really worked with us to custom create our own ceremony and I felt that because of that it really had a lot of heart.

Josh and I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful job you did with our wedding. We received many compliments on the ceremony and I think the little details such as having us face the group and addressing our families/parents in the beginning really added to the personal feel and helped to create the intimate atmosphere we were hoping for.

Thanks again for everything; we couldn't have asked for a better more memorable ceremony!

We were so lucky to have found AC! She was so easy to work with and was so respectful of our wishes. We wanted a ceremony that truly reflected us, and she made that dream come true! The ceremony was absolutely perfect! It was so unique, and full of life. Everyone thought it was the most personalized and beautiful ceremony they had ever attended. We couldn't have been happier and would absolutely recommend AC to everyone!

A.C. was amazing! from day 1 that we found her on weddingwire she contacted us and always kept in touch until the countdown of the wedding. She had the entire program mapped out and very organized. When I met her she was very comfortable to speak with, and made all the changes that we wanted. I had a Taoist/Christian wedding ceremony and she adapted and input the most amazing ceremony so much that there wasn't a dry eye in the room. A.C. is highly recommended in my book. Very affordable and was amazing with the wedding ceremony.

AC takes the time to make your ceremony your own. We were totally impressed with the process to personalize our ceremony. Many guest came over afterwards to say how great the ceremony was. We can't recommend AC enough.
Capital Ceremonies responded with the following comments:
Thank you so much! It was so great to work with the two of you and meet everyone in your "family" of friends and loved ones. Thank you so much for taking the time to submit this. it means a lot, but not more than the experience of being there to see you two get to tie the knot!

Our experience with A.C. was perfect. She couldn't have been more helpful, patient, professional, kind, or flexible. A.C. is a gifted, loving celebrant who will be a blessing to all couples who are fortunate enough to work with her.

A.C. Warden was fabulous to work with. She is very organized and extremely prepared to put together whatever type of ceremony you can dream up. She really listened to our requests during our first meeting and drafted the perfect ceremony for us. A.C. made such a special day for us very easy and stress free. I highly recommend A.C. Warden.

My husband and I were thrilled with the ceremony that AC wrote and performed for us. In our in-person meeting, AC found out a lot about us and what type of ceremony we'd like. She provided us with a lot of options for the readings and all other aspects of the service, including readings and rituals from our cultural backgrounds, which was a nice touch. I had little wording changes that I wanted to make to the draft ceremony, and AC accepted all of these, plus let me continue with my editing as I thought of new things to include and exclude. She offered to meet with me a second time in person, if I had anything I'd like to discuss in person rather via phone or email. I appreciated having her at the rehearsal, and on the day of the wedding, she was a calm presence. Overall, everything went very well and I'd highly recommend her services.

AC was incredibly easy to work with. Her values in respecting and honoring our love was very apparent, as she was especially accommodating in helping us make our ceremony unique to us and our backgrounds. The ceremony went very smoothly, particularly for one being translated! She was comforting and helpful while we were exchanging our vows, which is such a nervous moment in front of all of your loved ones. AC had also came to our home a second time to do a private legal wedding after our celebration wedding.

The ceremony was so touching, and we didn't have anyone with dry eyes at the end of it. Even a dear friend of ours, who didn't cry at her own daughters wedding, was sobbing afterward because the ceremony was so sweet and touching!

We highly recommend AC to anyone, religious or not!
