One of a kind

Izolda is amazing. When I first contacted her to celebrate our wedding, I had no idea what I was signing up for. I was so nervous when we got started, but she had ideas for our ceremony that I never would have thought of myself. She incorporated my desires and my husband’s, and she found a beautiful way to allow our four children to be a part of the day, beyond being flower girls and ring bearers. Because we wanted to get married in a county where she could not perform legal weddings, she offered her own beautiful backyard for a private ceremony the morning before our public wedding. During our wedding celebration and party, she took charge and made sure that everything happened as planned, and even made sure that I remembered to eat. (And anyone who has had a wedding knows how easy it is to forget to eat.) She created a day for us and our friends that few will forget. Since then, she has stayed in touch and shown interest and love toward our family. Izolda is one of a kind.

Midsummer Night's Dream

My husband and I were handfasted by Izolda at twilight on an August night in 2008. Surrounded by a circle of friends and family, Izolda coordinated an incredible ceremony. We didn't have a specific idea of what we wanted, so we gave her free rein and she did an incredible job. Our friends and loved ones had roles, everything went smoothly - she created such a loving, sacred atmosphere. Thinking back on that night feels like remembering a magical dream. She was amazing!!!! -Kristen
