Celebrant Gwen Downs specializes in creating fun, lighthearted weddings that have couples and guests saying, "it was the best ceremony they've ever been a part of!" With just the right balance between cheer and tradition, not only will your ceremony include all the elements you want, but it will also feature the story of how you and your fiancée "ended up here today." That means rather than a formality, your nuptials will actually be one of the most fun and entertaining parts of your day!
