Irreplaceable officiant!

Helen was one of the best parts of our wedding. She made the process SO easy and really catered the ceremony to our personal preferences. She had a special time for my daughter and new husband to make vows to each other too, it was just beautiful. She had several back up plans in case something went astray (which it didn't) but it gave me peace of mind the day of and THAT is what every bride should feel on her special day!

Helen Emberly performed our wedding ceremony in June 2012. When we first met her, we had interviewed a few other potential officiates, but we felt most comfortable with her. She was very professional and made us feel like our wedding was about us and not about her agenda, beliefs or otherwise. We felt the experience was very positive and she had several good ideas on how to perform the ceremony. My husband and I wrote our own vows and Helen had them nicely typed out as well as a complete timeline of events in the order we wanted them down to the wedding party march and the reading of the vows. We were very please with our ceremony. Unfortunately the time seemed to go by so fast, but the end result was wonderful. Thank you Helen for everything.

Helen was the officiant at our recent wedding in wine country near Santa Rosa, CA on September 16, 2010 and she was fabulous. Given that we were an out of town couple (from Nashville, TN), our entire preparation and relationship with Helen was done long distance and she did so much to make us feel connected with her and special. We actually felt like we were old friends by the time of our wedding day. She spent so much time beforehand making sure the ceremony was exactly how we had envisioned it, and she delivered it beautifully on our wedding day. Helen is sincere in her love for others and her commitment to making your special day EXTRA special. We are so grateful to have found Helen, she made our day magical!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
