Great experience!

We had a great experience working with Karen. She was professional and made everything so easy. Planning a wedding is stressful enough so it was appreciated that everything was so seamless. It was a pleasure to work with her!

Karen Mowad is so lovely and perfect for an officiant

Karen is so lovely, friendly, and warm. She went above and beyond and wrote the loveliest ceremony for us. She was always responsive and kind. I'm so grateful we found her on the internet where sometimes it's hard to really know a vendor. Thank you so much Karen for making our wedding at the Rose Garden so memorable and high spirits!!

Highly recommend!

Karen is great! I had one meeting with her over the phone and you’d think she had known both my husband and I for years. She came to rehearsal and was prompt in her timing for both the rehearsal and wedding day. She even is willing to answer questions about the marriage license process, which is helpful! She made our ceremony feel so personal, and was amazing! She mailed our marriage license back to the town hall the Monday after our wedding and when it took longer than expected to arrive, was very prompt in answering that we will find a solution if it did get lost, which thankfully it did not. I highly recommend Karen as she is kind, thoughtful, helpful and prompt!

Very responsive and helpful.

Karen was the officiant at our wedding recently and she was awesome to work with. Not only was she very responsive, but also helpful in answering any of our questions. Her written ceremony was also amazing. We would definitely recommend her to anyone!

If I could give 10 stars, I would

My husband and I recently had the honor of having Karen serve as the officiant at our wedding, and we both feel so fortunate to have had booked her. The speech that she wrote was so genuine and heartfelt that it very nearly moved me to tears. She was also incredibly gracious, having waited to start the ceremony later than scheduled, as one of our guests got lost on the way to the venue. We were so very appreciative of her kindness in that matter.

In the end, it was a beautiful ceremony, and we have Karen to thank for making it so.

Wonderful 😊

We had a small ceremony at our house. Karen was very polite, punctual, professional and friendly. She gave us a good price and she prepared a wonderful speech that we really liked. If you want something stress free and professional I highly suggest to hire Karen.

Karen is the Absolute Best!!

Karen is beyond amazing! She’s so kind, down to earth and just a genuine person. The first time I spoke with her, I knew we had to have her as our JOP. She’s very helpful, answered all our questions and gave us all the guidance we needed leading up to our big day. She came to our rehearsal and everything went so smoothly, thanks to her. She explains what’s going to happen the day of the wedding and of course if you never got married before, you’re nervous and thinking, will I remember all of this but she has your back and will make sure everything runs smoothly which she did on our wedding day. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful, everything she wrote/said couldn’t have fit us more perfectly! She’s the absolute best!! Thank you Karen from the bottom of our hearts and we’ll forever be grateful to have had you as our JOP!! 💜
