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!!

Oh Rachel, thanks so much! It was such a privilege to work with you. I feel lucky to have met you and Chadd, and to see his face as you walked toward him down the aisle. The bagpipes gave me chills! You are a beautiful couple! :-)Timothy e Shantler · Married on 10/13/2018
Couldn't have asked for a better ceremony!
Rebecca crafted a perfect ceremony for us, we were looking for short and sweet and she nailed it. Her words were meaningful and sincere. Everyone who attended went out of their way to mention how wonderful she was. We would highly recommend Rebecca to be part of your special day, you won't regret it!
