Wonderful ceremony

Rebecca of Full Circle Ceremonies provided a beautiful heart-felt ceremony for our intimate wedding this October. She helped up every step of the way and provided great advice. With her questionnaire and help we together created the perfect ceremony for us. It was short and sweet but really captured our story and feelings for each other. Rebecca crafted our vows around the answers to her questionnaire which made the ceremony unique and personal. She was able to create the perfect blend of our differences in religion. She met with us over the phone and in person to get to know us better. She even helped us out with a last minute sound issue.. we had to cancel the DJ due to COVID downsizing our wedding and completely forgot about the ceremony microphone. She provided a wireless microphone and sound amp the week before the wedding and was able to make everything sound great for our lake side ceremony! We cannot thank Rebecca enough for playing a memorable role in our day by marrying us and making our ceremony so special :)

The Most Meaningful Ceremony

We loved working with Rebecca on our ceremony. She was so sweet and helped us create a very personal and meaningful ceremony for our big day. We did an initial video chat and the ceremony was developed through a questionnaire my husband and I each filled out. The ceremony was my favorite part of our day. It was very emotional and really resonated with who we are as a couple. Afterwards, many of our guests asked how long we had known her (thinking she was a personal friend because of how touching everything was). We received soooo many complements on the ceremony and Rebecca's presence in general. Not a dry eye in the house!! Thank you, Rebecca, for your part in making this the best day of our lives!

Perfection

Rebecca was amazing to work with. We changed our date to a year sooner than we originally planned and she was more than willing and able to work with us. When we first met with her, we knew right away. She has a true passion for what she does and you can hear it in her voice. And the custom ceremony she wrote for us was 100% perfect. Everyone was amazed at her talent and words. They went out of their way to compliment her and say what a wonderfully perfect ceremony it was. She nailed it. We couldn't be happier! If you want a unique custom ceremony, Rebecca is your lady!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
