Perfect ceremony!

Carol Charles Bach was the perfect officiant for our wedding. We couldn't have been happier with how the ceremony went and how Carol worked with us on a few extra touches we wanted to include. She was great about us having a non-denominational wedding overall but including a few touches of my Jewish religion. We asked her to sign our Ketubah, she obliged and had no issue with us displaying it. We also asked to end the ceremony smashing the glass and she was happy to do so. Carol really worked with us and made the ceremony perfect!
She is also very reasonably priced for her services and our guests enjoyed the ceremony.

Wonderful Officiant!

Carol is wonderful! She is very easy to communicate with and responds quickly. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. She provided calmness to a very nervous bride! She was patient and very well spoken. We deeply appreciated her assistance. Thank you so much, Carol!

10/10 Highly Recommend

My husband and I could not have chosen a better officiant. From the first moment I spoke to Carol on the phone I knew she was the right person for us. Her bubbly personality and laughter along with professionalism and attention to details was indescribable. Carol walked my husband and I through every detail we wanted and covered every item. The day of the ceremony she made a point to come to my bridal suite to formally introduce herself and make sure I was ready. Although we only met her in person the day of the wedding she was like our family. The guest kept asking how we knew Carol which is a testiment to an amazing person. I know my review is late.. my memories were so great they will last a lifetime. Thank you for everything Carol.
