Perfection!

Theresa was AMAZING. We had a very large wedding party and she did such an amazing job making sure everyone knew what to do. We had many guests tell us how much they loved her/ our ceremony!

Absolutely perfect!

Theresa was a perfect fit to be our wedding officiant. She is sweet, light-hearted and immediately put us both at ease. From the minute we met with her at our planner’s suggestion, we knew right away that we wanted to have Theresa officiate our ceremony! She is a very eloquent speaker and a pleasure to work with. She was punctual, professional and an absolute delight. We were honored to have Theresa be such a valuable part of our wedding day!

Fantastic!

Reverend Gilberti was absolutely wonderful to work with from start to finish. She was extremely responsive and prompt throughout the entire experience. I told her numerous times that she made us feel like we were the only couple she was working with, which is so special. Thanks again!

Theresa is amazing!

I can’t even tell you how much I enjoyed working with Theresa. She’s awesome! When we met with her, she was super easy to talk to. She went over all the details for the day of our wedding. She also provided multiple sample wedding ceremonies to help us with choosing our vows. My guests thought she was a great choice and I’m very happy she was the one who married us :)

Such a wonderful experience!

Theresa was absolutely wonderful! Our ceremony could not have gone better. She walked us through the rehearsal twice so we felt fully prepared for everything that was going to happen the next day. She spoke our ceremony with ease and rarely had to look down at her notes!

Meaningful Ceremony

Theresa gave us several templates to pick and choose from for a ceremony that was meaningful to us, and we received lots of compliments from guests of all backgrounds about our ceremony. Theresa is clearly experienced enough that she has readings memorized, but it really felt like she was talking with us and not simply reading what was on the page. We appreciated all of her advice and direction along the way and the copy of our ceremony that she gave us afterwards.

Beautiful Ceremony Tailored Just How We Wanted It

We chose Inner Peace Ministries for our wedding this past June and had the pleasure of working with Reverend Gilberti. She is a wonderful person! She was extremely accommodating and had a very calming presence. My husband and I were very hands on when designing the ceremony and she welcomed our ideas and made sure all of our requests were met. We cannot thank her enough for making sure our ceremony went smoothly and ensuring it was unique to us and not a "cookie cutter" experience. I highly recommend Reverend Gilberti!

Guests raved about Theresa!!

Theresa was absolutely wonderful from our first emails through to our ceremony. She allowed us to completely customize our ceremony, cutting and pasting from a few different ceremonies she offers. Our ceremony was completely "us" and we loved it!! Theresa was funny and delivered our ceremony flawlessly. She barely even looked down to read. She engaged our guests and was just wonderful! We received many compliments ranging from how she was quick to step aside so as not to be in all the pictures to her amazing delivery. She put everyone at ease, which was what we wanted! No stuffy ceremony here!! You will not be disappointed if you choose Theresa to officiate your ceremony!

Theresa was exactly what we needed for our wedding. We were definitely at a loss for what to do about an officiant; PA has some odd rules and we wanted to be sure the ceremony was what we wanted without having to create it all from scratch. With the package we chose, we were able mix and match from a bunch of different templates and readings that she provided to create a ceremony we were 100% happy with. Our meetings with Theresa were straightforward and friendly, and she was always quick to respond to my emails and make us aware of her timeline. We were grateful that she came to run a rehearsal the night before, and she was friendly, clear, and direct with what everyone should do without taking too much time. She was engaging when speaking and felt very genuine, and was happy to bow out to let us enjoy the rest of our day when the ceremony was over. She has clearly done this before, and are glad we decided to just spend the money to have someone who could confidently guide us through the ceremony. We are very happy that Theresa was part of our day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
