My partner and I had a fairly non-traditional wedding. Cathleen was such a wonderful part of our day, and understood what we were looking for right away. I reached out through WeddingWire and when she left me a voicemail in response I cried because I immediately got such a great feeling from her! We really loved what she put together for us. It felt like us. We didn't exchange rings, we just kept our engagement rings, and she used a ring blessing for us. She added a beautiful section for my partner's young kids, who were our makeshift wedding party. She walked into the venue as I was still in my pajamas, cutting flowers for table arrangements minutes 45 minutes before the ceremony and stepped in to help so I could get dressed and get ready. I was so very grateful for that help (and the arrangements were gorgeous by the way-- better than I could have ever done)! Thank you for everything Cathleen, we will never forget it!

Cathleen was fantastic. She really took the time to get to know us as a couple, and helped select readings, fully customized our ceremony, and gave us great suggestions for writing our vows. Despite only meeting her in person the day of my wedding, it felt like I'd known her forever- she has such a warm, welcoming, calming personality. My venue ended up being unprepared for my wedding, and Cathleen went above and beyond to do what she could to help mitigate. My only regret is that I only will ever work with her once; she truly is fantastic to work with, and I wholeheartedly recommend her.

We couldnt be happier with her service! She made us feel happy and reassured us that the day would be perfect! We had someone to perform our wedding but backed out a few months prior to the event. Without skipping a beat Reverend Cathleen stepped in and saved the day! Her calm, loving, and sweet demeanor made us happy with our choice! I would recommend Reverend Cathleen to anyone looking for someone to officiant their wedding! The warm feeling she left us with when we left our first meeting was something we've never felt before! We appreciated everything she did for us! Shes simply wonderful!

The Reverend Cathleen was very professional and knowledgeable, communicated with us to develop our own ceremony. She made some wonderful suggestions for readings! The only disappointing thing is that she had my fiancé turn his back to me as I walked up the aisle, and I had SO wanted him to watch me as I came up. But I would highly recommend Reverend Cathleen for your wedding!

Reverend Cathleen made our special day even more special. She is kind, considerate and fun to be with. Her ceremony was beautiful and she tied it in to where we were married, Lake Seneca. We were blessed to have had someone as special as Reverend Cathleen celebrate this special day with us.

Reverend Cathleen was very professional and made sure we were comfortable with her and her services before our ceremony. She held a beautiful ceremony and my husband and I were very happy with her services! Thank you so much for making our day so special!

Cathleen was absolutely amazing. Cathleen got to who we were and what we liked as individuals and how we wanted our ceremony to be. At times when I thought I was gonna break down and cry,I'd look at her and she calm me down . She also gave us many choices to chose from,and she just so very helpful to both of us.. cathleen is brilliant and she left us speechless. . She hit our vows just rite.. if you want exactly what you want for your ceremony. You don't wanna hesitate t hire cathleen for her services. . You won't be disappointed. .she is absolutely stunning.

My husband and I were thrilled with how our ceremony turned out. Upon booking she presented us with a ton of options and possibilities for our ceremony, vows, and ring exchange readings. My husband felt very strongly about sections of some passages but not the whole thing. She blended our wishes and made a whole new ceremony just for us! There are many officiants who will not do Sunday weddings but she had no issue with that either. We are still getting compliments on how beautiful the ceremony was and how well written everything was.

I'm not even sure what to say, other than our day would not have been complete without Reverend Cathleen. Her smile, her energy, her spiritual presence, she made our day complete. I'm so blessed that we found her and she helped make our day "Official". She took all the worries away for a process, I knew nothing about. If you are in need of an Officiate, you will NOT be disappointed in Cathleen, I've been married for just over 5 months now and still want to just give her the biggest hug for everything she did for us.

We were referred to Rev. Cathleen Brauen by another minister who happened to already be booked on our wedding date. We're big on referrals, so we figured we would set up a meeting with Rev. Cathleen to go over what we envisioned for our ceremony. After speaking with her for an initial consultation, we knew immediately that we wanted her to conduct our wedding ceremony. She sent us plenty of readings and ceremony options to choose from and went over every detail of the timing with us. On the day of the ceremony, she arrived early to go over last minute name pronunciations and to go over the marriage license. She was very well spoken during the ceremony and seemed to be really genuinely interested in our day. She had a very calming demeanor so she was a breath of fresh air during a midst of stress and anxiety! We had an unexpected train run in the background during our ceremony but Rev. Cathleen laughed it off and didn't miss a beat (it definitely made for a few funny moments). We got lots of compliments on our ceremony so we would definitely recommend her!
