Reverend Shirley led a very beautiful, personal and moving ceremony. She was so easy to work with and sought us out before the ceremony to give directions. Everything was very clear and ran smoothly. If you are looking for a personal, unique to you, ceremony, I highly recommend Divine Love Weddings.
