Wedding 3/14/25

I highly recommend Journeys of the Heart if you are looking for an officiant to marry you. They are prompt and professional, and finding an officiant who’s best fit went smoothly. My husband and I had a conference call with one of Journeys of the Heart officiant and didn't look any further. We had the opportunity to work with Diane Mina Weltman. I highly recommend her! She's very professional, caring, genuine, vibrant, and personable with a great sense of humor! She was very prompt in writing our ceremony and sending us drafts to edit. Not only does she get the job done to ensure customers have a perfect ceremony, but she also provides guidance. She's very knowledgeable, and you will not have to worry about anything when it comes to obtaining your marriage license because she will lead you in the right direction. Leading up to my wedding day, she made me feel very comfortable. Our ceremony went well, was beautiful, and was the most memorable event because of her. Our guests raved about how great and funny Diane was during our ceremony. If you decide to go with Journeys of the Heart and the officiant Diane Weltman, you will not regret it! My husband and I were stress-free when it came to our wedding ceremony. 😊

Amazing Experience!

My husband & I worked with Jim Rosengarten for our ceremony up in Villanova, PA. We were the first in our families to do a non-religious ceremony and weren't really sure what to expect. We first met Jim after seeing Journeys of the Heart recommended by fellow couples and shortly connected with him after. Jim was super approachable, asked incredible questions and allowed us the freedom to build + adjust the ceremony as we saw fit. He was incredibly responsive + fine tuned our notes/feedback to build a ceremony flow that worked perfect for us. Not only were we blown away by Jim the day of, so were our guests. It was the perfect blend of sentimental + humorous blended with the gravity + seriousness of the commitment we made. Jim made our day so special and we recommend him to anyone who wants to build their own meaningful ceremony.

Personalized, Thoughtful, Peaceful, Filled with Love

Sara was truly one of the most special parts of our wedding day. From the moment we started working with her, it was clear how thoughtful, intentional, and genuinely invested she was in making our ceremony meaningful and personal. She took the time to really get to know us and crafted a ceremony that felt completely authentic to our relationship.

On the wedding day, she was absolutely incredible. She delivered our ceremony with so much warmth, sincerity, and grace that it honestly felt like someone who had known us for years was speaking. So many of our guests came up to us afterward asking, “Who was your officiant?!” and saying how beautiful and personal the ceremony was. Several people even assumed she must have been a close friend or family member because of how naturally and thoughtfully she spoke about us.

Sara created such a special atmosphere and set the tone for the entire day. We will always remember how meaningful that moment felt, and we are so grateful she was the one who married us. If you are looking for an officiant who truly cares and will make your ceremony unforgettable, Sara is the person you want.

Made the process so easy

We worked with Stephen Workman for our wedding and he was amazing! He made the process stress-free from leading up to the wedding to the day of and even after the day. He handled all of the logistics with the marriage license and put together such a beautiful ceremony for us.

A Timeless Ceremony - A perfect blend of traditional and modern

We are thrilled with our choice and couldn't be happier that we got to work with Journerys of the Heart. Our officiant, Stephen Workman, did a fantastic job in helping us plan/curate a wedding ceremony that felt like us but still held on to those traditional key moments. Stephen was extremely professional and did everything right each step of the way. We highly recommend booking Journeys of the Heart for your wedding ceremony.

He will really make sure your ceremony is special, specific, and tailored to you. Many of our guests commented on how much they loved the ceremony and Stephen. Compliments to him! We could not have been happier! Thank you Stephen and Journeys of the Heart!

Amazing experience at our Love Park Wedding

Stephen and Susan were absolutely wonderful to work with! We used Journeys of the Heart for "Wedding Wednesdays" at Love Park in Philadelphia. They answered all our questions about the ceremony and logistics ahead of time, which really helped ease our nerves before the big day. The ceremony was short, sweet, and beautiful. We chose to share our wedding vows privately before the ceremony, but even without our personalized vows the script that Stephen used for our ceremony was heartfelt and touching. Stephen and Susan made our day so special and we had an amazing experience with them!

Fantastic Wedding Officiant!

We got so lucky working with Jim Haley! He was recommended to us by a family friend who thought we would be a good match, and he was the perfect match. Jim spent a lot of time getting to know us personally in person and virtually, and gave us great tips and advice for curating a special ceremony with us. It was a team effort that turned into a beautiful, meaningful and memorable ceremony for everyone! Working with journeys was nothing short of easy and flexible. We appreciated their knowledge and ability to build a ceremony that matched the individuals it reflected. 10/10 recommend working with Journeys for any special event!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I have had the opportunity to work with Susan Harte of Journeys of the Heart multiple times. I cannot say enough good things about her. As a wedding planner (Love on a Shoe String) I have worked with many different personalities. Susan takes the time to know each couple and does such a beautiful job customizing each ceremony.
