Beautiful Ceremony

Penelope was so helpful and gave us a beautiful wedding ceremony. She let us choose from different ceremony wordings and let us add in our own vows. She took charge for us at the rehearsal when weren’t sure what to do and was so helpful at the ceremony. She even went and asked people to move out of the background before our beach wedding. She was so sweet and we would definitely recommend booking her for your wedding.

Penelope was wonderful!! She smiled through the whole ceremony and was prompt and very nice!! I would suggest anyone to have her as you officiant for your wedding. Anytime we talked to her she was always responding to me. I kept in touch with her that everything was on schedule and she always responded to me.

Penelope was great to work with. She made us feel comfortable from the beginning and truly listened and matched what we wanted for our ceremony. She has a way of putting you at ease and making you feel like all that matters on the big day is the fact that you are getting married to the love of your life. She sustained an injury right before our wedding day, but still showed up for our rehearsal and wedding ceremony like a champ! Lovely personality shining through! It was a truly beautiful ceremony, thank you Penelope.

We used Penelope for our wedding ceremony at the atrium and she was great! Very professional and she has multiple ceremony options to choose from. I really liked the ceremony we used and we were able to say our own personal vows that we wrote to each other. She also attended our rehearsal and told us what to expect, which was great.

There are not words to even describe how wonderful Reverend Penelope Morningstar was throughout our entire wedding process. From the first moment we met, it was as if we had known her our entire life. Our entire family felt at ease with her immediately. She worked with us to create the perfect service and it could not have been more beautiful. I do not think there was a dry eye in the room during the wedding. Magical would be an understatement. It was absolutely dreamlike. Thank you for being so wonderful!

Penelope was amazing. She didn't mind me emailing her with my questions no matter how crazy they seemed. she made our day so perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better person to marry us. I hope that I never have to get married again, but if I do, Penelope will definitely be preforming my ceremony.

My husband and I were very satisfied with the service Penelope provided at our wedding. We had a multi-cultural wedding and Penelope helped integrate this into our service. She provided us with numerous options but also let us customize those options into our very own.
We would highly recommend Penelope, she took time to meet with us a couple times before our wedding and we felt like we got to know about her so it was not just a one sided relationship. Penelope was always prompt, easy to talk to, helpful, and informative throughout the whole process. She even considered our wedding theme and based her outfit around it. We were 100% happy with our choice!
