Renee Carle

Finding Renee was such a blessing for us! She is truly one of the kindest people I have met. After talking with her on the phone, it took us less than 5 seconds to decide to go with her as our officiant. It really was a no-brainer. She is everything we were hoping for in an officiant - kind, compassionate, and someone who puts in 100% effort in writing our ceremony. Later on in the planning process, we met up with her at a coffee shop so she could get to know us better. It really showed when she officiated our wedding - the words she wrote were so beautiful and felt so us. Everything was so thoughtful. She is truly a gem and we are so thankful she married us.

AMAZING! Renee was the epitome of a perfect officiant. She is sweet, kind, & easy to talk to. She not only made planning the ceremony a simple process but she completely personalized it in a total of 2 meetings. We spoke on the phone with her to get a feeling of who she is as a person & clicked immediately - it was like talking to a good friend or your mom. We went to her office which is cozy & inviting to discuss the ceremony. She took into account our ideas, wishes, & religious beliefs. For us, she made a personalized romantic ceremony with traditional & religious aspects. She’s very flexible in her ceremony styles & wants to make sure they fit the couple. She gave us a book with questions to fill out (which gave her an idea of who we are & what to say in the ceremony) & ideas for readings, prayers, poems, etc. We met again to discuss the ceremony outline, vows. readings, & details. However, the bulk of what she wrote to say was a surprise to us & it was PERFECT. We could not be more thrilled with our ceremony -it was by far the best part of our day & the easiest to plan. She also typed everything into a bound book which she read out of during the ceremony & then we got to keep afterwards as a momento so we can always reread it. Renee made us feel so comfortable & really captured our love. She is the sweetest person & someone we loved getting to know. We truly admire her & highly recommend!!!

Renee officiated our wedding on September 27, 2019. We contacted her after a long online search during out wedding planning and immediately knew she was the right officiant for us. During our initial phone conversation, Renee made perfectly clear that she wanted us to feel a connection with her. She told us she would rather we give the business to someone else than to hire her without feeling this connection. This is truly what sold us. Renee met with us several times prior to the ceremony which we really enjoyed. She spent a great deal of time getting to know us both individually and as a couple. It felt like we had known her for years even after only the first in-person meeting. Renee also had us complete a journal about our common values, hopes for the future and overall relationship. It was a nice way to connect during the wedding planning process which can be rather stressful. The night before our wedding, Renee joined us at our home with our wedding party to run through the ceremony. She made the process easy and fun for our large (and sometimes loud) family. She was patient with everyone and made sure we all felt comfortable. Finally, the day of the wedding, Renee performed the most beautiful ceremony we could have hoped for. It was the perfect mix of funny, sentimental and spiritual. We continue to get compliments on how wonderful it was. She really captured our relationship and highlighted everything we wanted to focus on. We would recommend Renee to anyone looking for a special, kind and thoughtful officiant. Renee focuses on her clients and makes sure to give them the ceremony they want. She is easy to contact and really was the best person to work with. Thank you Renee!!
