Carolyn was amazing!!! She was very organized and helped us organize our ceremony. She gave us so many ideas for different things to include and made the process as easy as possible! She had a serious, yet fun tone at the ceremony which put all of the guests (and us!) at ease. I highly recommend Carolyn!

Carolyn made the entire process of creating a wedding ceremony enjoyable, exciting, and meaningful. She was very open to any changes we wanted to make and embraced all the unique, non-traditional aspects of our ceremony. She took the time to get to know us and we felt completely comfortable talking with her through the entire process. We would not of pick anyone else to marry us! If you are looking for a very professional, personable, non-judgmental officiant, Carolyn is your lady!

Carolyn was a joy to work with. She was very flexible with our plans for the ceremony and accommodated some unique requests. She took time to get to know us as a couple and wrote a beautiful address to start the personalized ceremony we designed.

Reverend Carolyn Barkley truly was a pleasure to work with. From the very first meeting, we knew she was the right fit for us. Even when I would e-mail her while she was on vacation, she was always quick to respond to any questions I might have had. She continually worked with us and helped us create the perfect wedding ceremony.

Rev. Carolyn Barkley did an excellent job at our ceremony and also the planning before hand. She was great to work with and did a wonderful job at personalizing our wedding ceremony for us. We received so many good comments about our ceremony from our wedding guests. I would definitely recommend her for anyone seeking an officiant.

Carolyn was absolutely fantastic to work with! She personalized our ceremony to the two of us and was flexible when it came to including some "non-traditional" aspects into our ceremony. We appreciated that we could have a civil celebration without it being to stodgy or boring. Carolyn definitely helped everybody feel the love that we share and presented such a beautiful ceremony that everyone ended up in tears, including her! Her word choice and representation of our relationship, was 100% perfect and we could not have asked anyone better to officiate our wedding. She was always available via e-mail and was happy to talk if we needed to discuss any changes. We absolutely loved working with Carolyn and would recommend her to anyone who is looking to have words spoken from the heart! We are so lucky to have met her and had her be such an intricate part of our wedding celebration. Thank you Carolyn!

We met Carolyn when searching for an officiant for our wedding in Madison, Virginia. Right away, we knew we found who we wanted. She was extremely easy to work with and quick to respond to every inquiry up until the final minutes. There was nothing more we could have asked of her and would highly recommend her for any wedding!

Rev. Barkley is excellent. As the officiant for my wedding, she worked with my fiancé and I to understand our vision for our wedding ceremony and create a service that perfectly reflected it. Our ceremony was very personal, and uniquely represented us. Rev. Barkley was a pleasure to work with, and communicated with us regularly throughout the planning process. She is a true professional, and I would strongly recommend her to others.

We loved working with Carolyn. She was always honest, caring, and extremely flexible. She went above and beyond the call of duty to guide us through the legal process and basic logistics, and made us feel at home during the whole process.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
