We love Dr. Barbara!!

We were lucky enough to have had Dr. Barbara officiate our wedding and marry us. We had to change our original date due to covid and decided to elope just the two of us and she did such a beautiful job with the ceremony. We really appreciated that she got to know us through the process of writing the ceremony and were very touched by her thoughtfulness – she made our ceremony so unique and personal. Her retelling of our love story is something we will forever treasure – she is a gifted writer.
She was easy to work with throughout the process and was helpful in reminding us on some logistical things around the wedding license and application, etc.
On the day of, she was so warm, made us feel so welcome and loved. She took her time during the ceremony, and even had a microphone underneath her mask that was hooked up to a little amp, which was super helpful because we were on the beach (fairly noisy with wind, ocean, etc.). She is such a sweet person, and her warm, kind, loving energy helped make our day that much more special.
We highly recommend booking Dr. Barbara for your special day. We are so happy we did!

A Celebrant Extraordinaire!

Barbara went well ABOVE our expectations as the Celebrant for our wedding. Moments after meeting her, she made us quite comfortable, as if we’ve been friends for life. As for the wedding details, Barbara dotted all I’s and crossed all T’s. Our beach wedding was a flawless dream come true in most part due to her kindness and that attention to detail. If you’re looking to find the perfect Celebrant, your search should end here.
