We greatly enjoyed having Rev. Carleen Burns marry us. We had an outdoor wedding and it was about 50 degree, she didn't complain once! We really appreciated the thoroughness she had with all the parts of our ceremony and added some humor in which fit my husband and I very well. She is very professional and courteous to those around her! Thank you Carleen!

Another great review for Rev. Carleen Burns! Everyone gave us compliments on the ceremony! They appreciated that it was a little something different, enjoyed hearing our personal story, and thought the readings were meaningful and unique. I had to give the credit to Carleen who stepped us through the process and helped us create the ceremony we wanted. Thanks again Carleen!

WOW! What an amazing person Carleen is. Her words were so great and so fitting!!! She captured us so perfectly. So sweet and easy to work with!!! HIGHLY reccomend her!!

Carleen created a wonderful ceremony for us... we could not have asked for anything better! She catered the ceremony specifically to reflect our personalities, history, and wishes. It was absolutely perfect and our guests kept coming up to us and telling us how beautiful it was too!

Carleen did an amazing job with our wedding! I planned our Michigan wedding while we lived in Louisiana. She was very accomdating and understanding with our situation. She was prompt to answer emails no matter how important they were and worked around our schedule to meet with us. She wrote a beautiful ceremony that was emotional and humorous. Our wedding was perfect, despite the cold and rain!

I cannot possibly say enough about how wonderful Rev. Carleen was as our officiant. I chose her initially based on the reviews on this site, and we are so glad we did.

We had a simple small ceremony in our back yard with just a few friends, yet the time she took to know us and personalize our ceremony you would think we were William and Kate! There wasn't a dry eye in the house (or yard, I suppose), and what a trooper she was, as it was a very chilly January first and the smoke from our fire pit was right on her the entire time!

Thank you a million times over Rev. Carleen, and for those looking for an officiant, look no further!

Carleen was genuinely interested in our story as a couple and incorporated our story into the ceremony. She was very professional. I would highly recommend Carleen as a wedding officiant.

Rev. Carleen Burns provided a great service to us. She was very respectful and did everything we asked of her. She made our day beautiful! I would highly recommend her for your wedding!

Absolutely great! Carleen provided us with a unique and personalized ceremony! Exceeded our expectations in every way! We would definitely recommend her services to any bride-to-be! =]

Carleen did a FANTASTIC job with our wedding, we could not have asked for more.

Rev. Carleen did an awesome job with our wedding! She was really flexible with our scheduling conflicts, and made sure our needs were met.
She took the time to learn our story, and used that information to personalize a truly beautiful and fitting ceremony.
A wonderful way to go for those couples that don't belong to any given church but still want the religious aspect incorporated into their commemoration.

I can't say enough for Rev. Carleen and how she made our wedding truly unique and wonderful, but I can sum it up when I had over ten - OVER TEN! - of our guests tell me after the wedding that ours was the best ceremony they'd ever seen!

My husband and I don't belong to a church, and we were looking for something special, fun, and relaxed in terms of our wedding ceremony. We contacted With This Ring after finding it online - Rev. Carleen was the first person we met with, and ended up being the only! From our initial meeting, right up until the actual ceremony, Carleen did everything to put us at ease and make a truly one-of-a-kind experience for us. We were able to personalize and custom-make our own ceremony as she provided us with step-by-step outlines of exactly how we wanted the ceremony to go, the mood we wanted to take, and so on - she even included mention of our dogs for us!

Our personal favorite was the initiative she took to make this ceremony unique to us. When Carleen had us fill out questionaires, answering questions about ourselves and each other, we simply thought it was to get to know us better, to enhance the ceremony. Imagine how amazing it was when she read our words back at the ceremony - it was so special, to us both, and made the whole moment that much more amazing.

If you're looking for a ceremony that will be personalized, unique, and most of all, from the heart, contact Rev. Carleen - you won't regret it!

I cannot even begin to thank Carleen enough for being such a wonderful person and officiant! I am stationed in Oklahoma and so was planning a home ceremony long-distance. Carleen was so wonderful in giving me all my info that I needed, being so flexible in driving an hour down to a little known site way out in the country and meeting us in person for the very first time the day of our ceremony! My husband and I were completley amazed and in awe of how personal of a story she did, and how she "got" us, right down to a tee! For example, I am slightly religious/more spiritual and my husband not at all. The way she put together our ceremony put us both at ease and had both of us tearing up, and that was just reading the rough draft she sent us!

What I loved most about Rev. Carleen was how personable she was, and also so calm, it made me realize how neurotic or nervous I was acting. Even through e-mail or on facebook she just exudes this amazing essence of calm and peace about her, and in person it is even more profound and there is just no way you can have a bad time when she is around.

I would reccomend anyone who is looking for an easy-going person who is willing to work with you for "your" ceremony to look at With This Ring services first, and probably not anywhere else!

Thank you again Rev. Carleen for helping us make our day so incredibly beautiful!

Rev Burns was excellent. She helped us out so much in writing our ceremony. Even with all the changes and alterations I wanted to make she never complained. She went above and beyond to make our wedding day extra special. Also, she has so many different readings, passages, vow samples, etc. that made the process much easier.

Carleen made our ceremony as personal as possible. As many times as I e-mailed to ask her questions or get opinions she was very prompt in response. She listened to everything we wanted and asked for and did a GREAT job! Our family and friends loved the little seriousness along with the little bits of humor added into it. It was honestly the best part of our day and we wouldn’t have asked for anyone better than Carleen to make it happen for us! On top of that, my husband and I had a tragedy in the family just the night before our wedding and threw everything off course. Due to everything being offset I (the bride) was 1 hour late for my own wedding and Carleen couldn’t have been more understanding about all of it. She is such a sweet and helpful person. We will never forget her help and kindness. =)

Rev. Carleen gave us wonderful ideas for our vows and created a ceremony that was a perfect match for us. One of the wedding guests thought she must have known us for a long time, when, in fact we had only met with her twice before the ceremony! We would absolutely recommend her.
