Donna Rose Gardner - Honey In The Heart Ceremonies

Hello. I'm Donna Rose Gardner with Honey In The Heart Ceremonies. I bring my heart into performing your ceremony with warmth, a sprinkling of humor and honey in the heart that naturally flows with your love. Your ideas are welcomed in addition to what I provide. People from all beliefs, cultural/ethnic backgrounds and LGBTQ+ are embraced. If you need a ceremony performed in Spanish, I have an officiant who can perform this for you!

At Honey in the Heart Ceremonies my passion is ensuring that your ceremony reflects the unique love that the two of you share. My experience with performing hundreds of ceremonies since 2010 has lent to an expertise and sharing of creative ideas that you can count on.

Many couples have expressed how much they appreciated the flexiblity offered with creating a ceremony that's unique for the two of them! Ensuring that your expectations are met is something that taken very seriously. Together, we have conversations to make sure that both the ceremony planning process and the day you hear the words, “Family and Friends, I now introduce to you as a married couple” are an incredible, memorable experience.Couples have also shared compliments on the calm demeanor that is brought into their experience. If you're nervous during your ceremomy, you can look at me that day as my "roots go deep." You'll receive support with reassurance and grounding!

Services Offered: The ceremonies performed range from a civil union to interfaith, non-religious and modern spiritual. I also perform partnership and vow renewals.

Keep It Simple - You want a quick and easy ceremony! We have the perfect ceremony that is performed for couples that want to be married with heart, while keeping it short and sweet. It can be a religious, spiritual, or civil ceremony. You can bring your own vows to read to each other if you want to.

Sweet and Easy -Your desire is to have a ceremony that’s filled with an honest simplicity that allows you to be fully present in the moment. You can choose from a variety of pre-written ceremonies that give you the perfect words that convey your love. Samples are also provided for your vows, or you can write your own and I’ll make vow booklets for you to read from. Want to edit the wording – no problem!

More Choices Please - This style of ceremony is perfect if you want to co-create your ceremony with me from the start to the ending. Your unique love story will be woven into it to make it personal. Additional components such as handfasting and a Wine Blessing can be added. There are also many other ideas can be included. You’ll receive my guidance and a questionnaire that will help with creating your ceremony. We spend time together talking in depth about your love so that your ceremony will truly be as amazing as the love that the two of you share. I’m available as questions arise and we explore possibilities together!
