    Carolyn was absolutely wonderful

    Carolyn officiated our wedding ceremony. At the rehearsal, she was organized, knew exactly where to guide everyone and got us all prepared for the next day. At the ceremony, she was full of energy and certainly made our moment at the podium even more special. Would recommend her without a doubt.

    Your wedding at Sqwires was simply elegant. I enjoyed meeting your friends and family during the rehearsal and working as a team member with your venue staff. Many Blessings in your marriage.

    Mrs. Carolyn did an amazing job! She was very excited about officiating our ceremony. We loved her enthusiasm and humor. We planned our wedding in two weeks. It was worth our while!!

    Carolyn was incredibly easy to work with. She is very prompt, professional, and made the wedding ceremony enjoyable for all of us. Highly recommend her services.

    Your micro-wedding on New Years Eve at the Four Seasons Hotel still felt like a grand affair! The setting was elegant and the matching masks you purchased for me and your guests added a bit of flair to the event. Many Blessings in your marriage! ~Carolyn Burke STL

    Wonderful!!

    I had a hard time finding the right officiant but when I found Carolyn, I was so relieved! We did the deluxe elopement package and it was perfect! The quality of the flowers and photographs are outstanding! Carolyn is so nice and she made us feel comfortable. She even made me laugh too! Carolyn is professional and prompt. I can't say enough good things about this experience! I highly recommend her!!!

    Your elopement at Tower Grove Park could not have had nicer weather! Having only your parents as witnesses gave the event a meaningful touch. Many Blessings in your marriage! ~Carolyn Burke with Elope in St Louis

    We hired Carolyn as our wedding officiant and were extremely pleased with her services. We discussed everything over the phone with her prior to booking. Her policies were very clear, and she provided us with all of the information we needed well in advance of our ceremony. She allows couples to add customized readings, ceremonies, etc. to their events, but we wanted a short and sweet ceremony, and that’s exactly what we got! We had a phone rehearsal the day prior to the event, where she explained exactly what she would do from the time she arrived to the time she left the venue. We also went over pronunciation and preferences for how we’d be introduced, details about the wedding party, etc.. She was very professional, but also fun, and her pricing is very reasonable. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant!

    Carolyn is very professional and a seasoned officiant. She made sure to prepare us for the ceremony and allowed us to customize the ceremony to best represent us as individuals. She was punctual and also very personable from the moment we met. Carolyn made our intimate ceremony very special. She was very enthusiastic and made us feel so comfortable in front of our friends and family on one of the most important days of our life. She also took a great photo of us and was gracious enough to share it with us. We highly recommend Carolyn Burke as a wedding officiant.

    Love, love, loveddddd Carolyn. I was a nervous wreak walking down the isle and hearing her voice just set me at ease. We’d spoke on the phone a few times and communicated over emails. She was great, handled last minute changes, and made our ceremony uniquely ours. 10/10 would recommend

    Carolyn Burke STL's reply:

    Hey April, your sweet personality made it so easy. We had to make a few changes, but the day was so beautiful and the Thornhill Governor's Mansion in Faust Park was perfect under the big trees in the shade. Many Blessings to you and Nick. ~Carolyn Burke Wedding Officiant

    Carolyn Burke was an excellent officiant for our wedding. She was very flexible and willing to handle the ceremony in the relaxed mood we wanted for the short service and to take part in the light-heartedness. We’ve been together for 29 years so we didn’t want anything solemn! We highly recommend Carolyn’s service!

    Carolyn Burke STL's reply:

    It was a pleasure to work with you at The Lodge at Grant's Trail. I enjoy working with same-sex couples and I'm happy to know you chose me to be a part of your 29-year relationship.

    Carolyn officiated our wedding at City Hall. We are so grateful she worked with us. She made us feel comfortable leading up to the wedding. She was so clear and easy to communicate with which is so nice for a nervous bride-to-be. Most importantly, she was pleasant and we are happy she shared in our love and excitement on our wedding day.

    Carolyn Burke STL's reply:

    St Louis City Hall is a great location for an elopement for large traditional ceremonies too. Just you two and your immediate family members is so meaningful and personal. I enjoyed working with you too! ~Carolyn Burke Wedding Officiant

    Carolyn was wonderful! She was a great calming presence before and during the wedding. She helped me gather my thoughts and determine the processional Order. I would 100% recommend Carolyn!

    Carolyn Burke STL's reply:

    Mandi, your wedding at The Jewel Box was short and sweet - just as you requested. Having the reception follow afterwards seemed to flow smoothly. I spoke with your catering company and they were ready with cocktails and appetizers. Many Blessings in your marriage to Gary. ~Carolyn Burke

    Carolyn was the perfect officiant for us. We aren’t particularly religious so we didn’t really want that, we wanted something short, sweet, and to the point. That is exactly what she gave us for an amazing price. We also got to pick essentially all of the elements of the ceremony so it wasn’t the same nickel speech as every othe wedding. She also made sure we would all be in the same page with a phone rehearsal which eased both of our minds. Carolyn was a perfect fit for our ceremony.

    Carolyn Burke STL's reply:

    Your rooftop wedding ceremony at the Caramel Room at Bissinger's included a Love Lock ceremony which I had not seen before. The weather was perfect and your wedding party - a delight! Many Blessings to you both!!

    Carolyn officiated our wedding and we're really happy we chose her. She was very professional, accommodating, and warm. She explained to us the plan in advance and we were able to stick to it perfectly. We'd definitely recommend her for your service especially if you're clueless, like we were,about the whole process.

    Carolyn was our officiant for our elopement 2/13/17. She was extremely easy to work with from the initial phone call up to the ceremony. We chose the deluxe elopement that included flowers & a photographer. We were very pleased with what we recieved for the price as well. We're both glad we chose her to be a part of our intimate ceremony.

    Carolyn is awesome. We wanted something simple and laid-back. With just a few questions and her awesome website, we were able to set the arrangements and get married right in our living room! She was on time, very organized, and made our event really special. My son and his wife used Carolyn for their ceremony 4 years ago and we were really impressed. I was so glad to find her for our ceremony and would highly recommend Carolyn's services!!
