    Mrs. Brandy Cooper

    Marsanne was a wonderful fit for our second marriage to each other. She is an amazing person and wrote great vows that worked perfectly for us. As we live so far away from Colorado, she called and messaged us a lot to get a feel for the kind of people we are. When the day came for the ceremony we were very eager to meet her. She was perfect!

    Winding Road Ceremonies's reply:

    Thanks Brandy! Yours was such a beautiful elopement. I love the pictures and the memories of that day at Horsetooth that they bring back. It was not ideal weather as sometimes happens here but that didn't hinder us at all. Thanks for coming to Colorado to get married!

    Mother of the groom

    Marsanne was so easy to work with. We live 17 hours from Estes Park and she worked with the bride/groom through emails and made the whole process, so much easier. The service was just perfect!! I highly recommend Marsanne.

    Winding Road Ceremonies's reply:

    Thank you, Karen. And thanks to the bride and groom for choosing Colorado for their wedding destination; they and their two year old daughter were the sweetest!

    Custom. Beautiful. Worth-It!

    After our first meeting with Marsanne, we knew that we HAD to have her officiate our wedding. She was so willing to make the ceremony about US. We didn’t want to have a typical ceremony, and Marsanne was able to craft a beautiful custom ceremony that encompassed who we are, where we have been, and where we want to go together. She was willing to have our ceremony outside, even though it could have been chilly in January. She was able to include our dogs in the ceremony, and was open to help us tweak a few parts to be a little more our style after the original draft. She was great at communicating with us, and we never felt that our voices weren’t being heard. The ceremony experience was like nothing any of our guests had ever seen before, and they raved about how personal the experience was. We are so grateful we chose Marsanne, and we know you will be too!

    Winding Road Ceremonies's reply:

    Thank you, LeAnne. Working with the two of you as well as Samson and Delilah was a wonderful experience. I love that you wanted to get married outdoors in January, and that it actually worked out! This review causes me to reminisce about your wedding and that brings a smile to my face, thanks!

    Made our experience so personal!

    Marsanne did a beyond amazing job with our ceremony! She was very sensitive to our needs and the personal touches she made throughout our ceremony made it so intimate for our guests. It truly made our day the best day!

    Winding Road Ceremonies's reply:

    Thank you Courtney. I loved working with you and Ray and your families. It was amazing how the weather warmed up just for your wedding day. Ray was the sweetest groom, but his nerves calmed down once you made your way down the aisle. Good luck to you both!

    A Beautiful Experience

    On March 29, 2018, Marsanne blessed us with a beautiful and heartfelt elopement marriage. Exactly six months later we gathered our family and friends together to recieve their blessings and witness our actual wedding ceremony. Marsanne wrote a beautiful ceremony using our story. She asked us for fun, heartfelt, and moving pieces of our history together to share with everyone. We are so grateful for her and our wedding couldn't have been more perfect without her.

    Winding Road Ceremonies's reply:

    Thanks, Erin. You and Brian were a special couple and the only couple I got to marry twice! If you ever need to marry each other again, just let me know:).

    Wonderful ceremony!

    My husband and I hired Marsanne at Winding Road Ceremonies for our wedding June 5th, 2018. Marsanne was professional, prompt in responding, offered services for a reasonable price, and was so wonderful during our ceremony. We are a very laid back couple and she was able to write a ceremony that fit our beliefs and life perfectly. We would recommend Winding Road Ceremonies to anyone in need of a life event that requires a speaker!

    Winding Road Ceremonies's reply:

    Thanks Stephanie! I have such fond memories of your great wedding in your beautiful back yard. I hope that you and Devon are enjoying married life:).

    Marsanne did a fantastic job officiating our wedding ceremony. She met with us to get a feel for what we want and made some great recommendations. Our guests loved the ceremony and Marsanne made our special day run very smooth and took all the stress of the ceremony off of us. I would highly recommend her.

    Marsanne did an amazing job officiating our wedding and she did an incredible job putting together a very personal ceremony. Marsanne takes a lot of time and care to make the ceremony extra special and personal. We gave her information through questionaire's and many phone calls/emails and she crafted the perfect ceremony. Many of our guests commented that it was the most special ceremony they had ever been at because Marsanne made it so unique and personal.

    We highly recommend Marsanne for anyone looking for a special and personal ceremony in Colorado. She took a lot of time to communicate with us and she clearly worked very hard on our ceremony.

    My (now husband) and I could not have asked for a better person to officiate our wedding. We are very much "first impression" kind of people and when we met with Marsanne we knew she was the right fit immediately. A few highlights for us... neither one of us belong to a specific church so we didn't feel comfortable having a priest or church official. We did know that we liked and wanted some of the traditional parts of the ceremony and so we were on the hunt for a non-denominational officiant. We came across Marsanne who describes herself as a life-celebrant. That description is spot on. She was so receptive to what our thoughts and ideas were on the ceremony. She helped us keep some traditional parts but add in parts that were unique to us. She told our love story with such a loving tone. You could tell she was genuinely happy for us and for the step we were about to take. She had the audience laughing but so elegantly transitioned into our vows. Her delivery was beautiful and her presence was just so calming. She did an absolutely fabulous job at the ceremony but the ceremony wouldn't have gone so smoothly if she hadn't put all the work in prior to that. She kept us informed and on track months in advance. She gave us a questionnaire to fill out which helped her put together a ceremony unique to my husband and I. She came to the rehearsal dinner to run through things and I think she could tell we were a little nervous and she was so calming and reassuring. She left and I thought... we got this. Let's do this! Marsanne was the perfect fit for us and I highly recommend meeting with her. OH! She's also a local :) My husband and I are native Coloradoans and we were actually very happy and to have a "neighbor" of ours take us through such an important and amazing day :) It's funny... you know she's good when you talk about your special day and reference your officiant and how awesome she was! We hope to see her down the road and will always give her our best wishes!!

    Marianne was awesome! She did a wonderful job writing the ceremony and, at the wedding, her delivery was spectacular. She was very responsive and flexible with everything she did. I had guests coming up to me afterwards saying it was the best wedding they have ever attended.

    Marsanne was exactly what we were looking for in our search for the perfect officiant. She is thoughtful, articulate, charismatic, and brought most of the audience to tears with her representation of our love for each other. She was observant of us, and noticed many little things about our relationship through our initial meetings. We felt that she "got" us, and made our ceremony perfectly tailored to us as a couple. We enjoyed filling out the questionnaire she provided and loved how she was able to work so many personal touches into the ceremony. Our ceremony was the perfect mix of heartfelt, touching, and personal but also light and funny at times as well. We couldn't be happier with her attention to detail, positive demeanor, and enthusiasm for officiating special moments in others' lives. We are sure that she will cater to your perfect idea of a wedding ceremony and make it special. Overall we are so happy with the services Marsanne provided for such an important component of our wedding day and recommend her highly!

    Marsanne authored and conducted the perfect wedding ceremony for my wife and I this past weekend! She took extreme care to personalize our message and even "crafted" a special unity ritual involving a black and tan craft beer pour. Her participation at the rehearsal ensured everybody was on the same page. Even though we only met Marsanne face to face at the rehearsal night given our destination wedding status, her communication over the phone and through emails were extremely warm and comforting and quite telling of her actual demeanor. We couldn't be more happy with our decision to have her officiate our wedding!

    We used Marsanne for our elopement ceremony. Marsanne wrote a draft of the whole ceremony after an initial hour long meeting. It was simply astonishing how she came up with something that fit us so perfectly after just meeting us so briefly. It's obvious that Marsanne is truly gifted at what she does and she enjoys her work. Thanks Marsanne for a wonderful celebration, we will re-read our ceremony on every anniversary to celebrate our union!

    My husband and I had a quick last minute wedding in our living room with a few close family members. Marsanne made it feel just a s special and significant as a large ceremony. It was so beautiful! She has a calm, peaceful demeanor and made it so easy to feel comfortable..

    My husband and I met Marsanne Howard soon after we were engaged. We had not yet identified an officiant for our ceremony, but after our fortuitous first meeting, were certain we had found the perfect person to marry us on our wedding day!

    Marsanne is kind, thoughtful, funny, patient, and a great listener. We had such a positive experience with her. She listened to our hopes and desires carefully, and then crafted a most thoughtful, funny, heartfelt, and loving ceremony. Many people at our wedding told us it was the best they had ever heard, as it was full of personal touches and meaningful stories and rituals.

    We are so thankful to have worked with Marsanne. We will always remember the words we shared on our wedding day, and will always be thankful for the officiant that made it one of the most memorable and meaningful days of our lives.

    Marsanne was amazing. I had friends come up after the wedding and mention how they thought it was so nice we got a family friend to marry us. They were blown away when I said that we had never met her before we hired her! She really learns about the couple and puts together a ceremony that reflects who the couple is, and how they want their lives together to be. She accommodated our every whim, and left us feeling thankful that we found her at the end of the day. One wedding is enough for me in this life, but, if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't hesitate to hire Marsanne again!

    Marsanne really made our wedding so very special. She incorporated everything that we requested into the ceremony and walked us through the planning process of our ceremony as well. She was always very attentive and answered all calls and emails promptly. She directed the entire rehearsal and made it very relaxing for us. She truly made our day perfect and so memorable! I would highly recommend!!

    We couldn't have imagined our ceremony any better. It perfectly reflected our taste, was light-hearted without taking away from the serious event, was heart-felt and 100% personalized. We received many compliments from our guests that they haven't been to such a great ceremony ever before!
    Our officiant was extremely helpful in the preparation of the ceremony supporting us with advise and examples.

    Marsanne was such a joy to work with! From the initial meeting, to the writing of the ceremony, to her calming presence on our wedding day, we were very fortunate to have found her. She was incredibly helpful and flexible during the whole process and it made for a very low stress and enjoyable experience. Thank you so much for everything you did to make our wedding so special and memorable.
