Wonderful and meaningful ceremony!

Reverend Batsford was wonderful. She was just as excited about our wedding like a member of the family! The service was beautiful with my father reading a passage from the Bible. We couldn’t recommend her enough. She was at the venue early and all set up by the time we arrived. We had very little time for rehearsal but she made it work and stayed upbeat and positive! You won’t regret hiring her for your ceremony!

Absolutely Astonishing

Our wedding day was extremely special thanks to the services of Reverend Laureen Batsford. She came to our rehearsal prepared with good suggestions and awesome advice, and helped us to create the best experience possible for our wedding day. She is loving, caring, and funny. She’s very experienced, she not only helped us with the wedding service but she helped us figure out how our wedding party could go down the aisle making it fun for everyone. She’s more than just a Reverend she is a friend, she is a guiding light on your wedding day where you feel lost and confused about everything except for the endless love you share with your significant other. Without her and the gleaming compassion she shows towards everyone, I honestly don’t believe our wedding day would have been as special as it was; thank you again Reverend Laureen for everything you did for my husband and I. We will forever be grateful!!
