About

Hello, I am Victoria O Milne, my expert partners and I are New York and New England's ONLY FULL-SERVICE CUSTOM WEDDING MINISTERS. We have been exceeding couples' dreams for more than 15 years and together, we have over 100 years of wedding experience. Every wedding ceremony we officiate is specifically tailored to capture the unique love story of our couple.

Our brides and grooms never have to research on their own or look for on-line for readings or elements that everyone else will see....WE do it all - from the planning, to wedding day detailing, to creating personalized vows and an unforgettable, personally unique unity element, created just for them. Returning to their honeymoon room and finding their Custom ONE-OF-A- KIND WEDDING VOW creates the extraordinary romantic setting that ends their perfect day.

Every ceremony is expertly crafted to reflect and honor their love, passion, family and friends, faith traditions and cultural history that makes each couple and love story unique.

The meaningful WORDS/READINGS, SIGNATURE UNITY ELEMENTS, PERSONALIZED VOWS, WEDDING DAY DETAILING and HONEYMOON HAPPY ENDING come exclusively from us and can't be found anywhere else.

Our satisfied newlyweds love to offer references and to share wedding wisdom with others. Most couples stay connected with us after their special day. Some even contact us to be with them during future joys and sorrows and ask us to officiate other life celebrations and ceremonies.

It is a privilege to be well respected in the community for my work as an educator and also as an Interfaith and Catholic chaplain in the colleges, hospitals and wellness centers. I am also a Master's level counselor and will soon earn my Doctoral Degree.

My partners and I have been a team for over 25 years, from before my Sanctuary of Heart and Spirit even began. They are also well known and respected in the community, having served as ministers in varied capacities, including community outreach and hospice. Together, we have over 100 proud years of experience helping people and officiating weddings.

Our newest partner, Alexandria, brings her valuable background in stage manangement, language education, as well as her life long experience in interspiritual studies. She has been a part of the team since its' beginning but now she is officially joining us as an Officiant.

We are a close knit team and we work together expertly to bring you the BEST. Together, we are proud to say, "I Do" to our promises that your wedding day vision will be reflected in your ceremony and that we will always EXCEED YOUR DREAMS FOR YOUR DAY.

THE BEST!! On day one… and 10 years later!

My husband and I were lucky enough to find Victoria on Wedding Wire a little over 10 years ago. It took just one meeting with her to know that she was the kind, insightful, spiritual, gifted person to marry us. Her process for getting to know us and understanding what we loved about each other was seamless and a very heartwarming experience. She crafted custom vows for us that we could not have written better ourselves. She made us an our guests laugh and cry with her words and humor.

10 years later, my husband and I have two kids, and we wanted to renew our vows together with them. To our luck, Victoria was available and instantly willing to unite us again. The vow renewal was everything we could have asked for, with Victoria eliciting the same warmth, spirit, and words to express our deepening love and appreciation for each other as spouses and as parents.

Both days are ones we will remember forever, and their specialness is in large part to Victoria. Get her if you can, she is an angel sent from above!

Victoria, The Magnificent!!! ⭐️ 🌟 💫

Okay—- This will be easy:
I was ordained with Victoria 20 years ago— when we both began our careers as officiants/celebrants

Vic ALWAYS manifested a professional, knowledgeable, and truly unique talent & disposition for ceremony
I was in awe of her during our 2 year hiatus in seminary

I consider myself one of the best ceremonial beings around :-)
And I can honestly say ( and I DON’T say this lightly) that I consider Vic to give & BE even better!

She’s amazing

The care, the creativity, the time, effort, joy, and sheer service to her couples
Nothing better!

So…..
When my husband and I celebrated our 50th anniversary with an amazing bash in Asbury Park—There was no one else I would have asked to officiate our ceremony

Vic ( The very Reverend Dr. Victoria)
Was WONDERFUL

She did/created just as I requested
Even if our styles differ
And still
Had it be infused with her own artistic vision & energy
THAT’s a professional, Folks!

Everyone loved our ceremony
Every
One!

And we ‘Two’ as well

It doesn’t get much better than Victoria
Truly!!!

If you want a ceremony no one will EVER forget
And YOU will love
Choose Victoria

I did!!!👍🎉♥️

Spiritual Timelessness

Victoria provided and created an unbelievably beautiful ceremony for us on our special day. We wanted something extremely simple and quick, and Victoria provided that, but also went so far beyond anything we could have imagined. Victoria took some brief information from us and wove a timeless and beautiful poem of our love, tying it together with a ceremony that was spiritually infinite and boundless in love and peace. The whole experience was kismet, and we are eternally grateful for Victoria’s time, effort and care. Thank you so much Victoria!!!!

Beautiful and Thoughtful Wedding Officiant

My husband and I found Victoria online when looking for an officiant to marry us on our wedding day, June 17th 2023 at the Lodge on Echo Lake in Warrensburg, NY. After our first phone call with Victoria we knew we wanted to ask her to be our officiant! Victoria is kind, professional, caring, and creative. She took the time and thoughtfulness to help us create the wedding ceremony of our dreams as well as help us become stronger as a couple in the process. Leading up to our special day we would text and have calls to review ideas, we always felt like we could ask Victoria questions and always received a helpful response back. We are thankful for the support we received throughout the wedding planning, and we look forward to keeping in touch with Victoria. We are so happy and thankful that she was a part of our day!

One word: Incredible!

I cannot say enough good things about Victoria. She is passionate about what she does. We knew we were in the right hands from our first conversation with her. We had numerous conversations with her where she truly got to know us as a couple. The ceremony she put on was incredible. Everyone raved about how light hearted and personal it was. We laughed and cried. The most special touch were the love letters she had us write to one another that she had waiting on our rooms to read at the end of the night. It was the most perfect ending to the night and one we will never ever forget. We love you Victoria!

Truly Blessed Experience

I couldn't have imagined when looking for an officiant that a complete stranger could become such an integral part of our union in a matter of months. Victoria is kind, patient, understanding and gave us a ceremony that represented our love in the best way possible. Through all the ups and downs of the planning process, she was a constant source or reassurance that all that mattered was going into the start of our marriage with the right intentions and open hearts. All of our guests were so impressed with her and we are too. She will forever be in our hearts and minds and we look forward to sharing the continued maturity of our relationship with her.

So personal and special, thank you!!

Victoria was the best person I could imagine to officiate our wedding. From the very beginning, she made us so comfortable and really got to know us. She made the process fun and special as we got ready for the big day! She took so much of the pressure off our planning and made it enjoyable every step of the way. In getting to know us, our love story, what's important to us, and our spirituality, Victoria made sure that our ceremony was so personal and special. She added so many sweet touches. It was everything we could've dreamed of, and we'll remember it for a lifetime.

Excellent!

The day was just beautiful and even though our original spot fell through, Victoria was more than willing to meet with us at our new one. Her ceremony was perfect and I loved how she incorporated our ideas into the process. I would absolutely recommend her services to others. On top of everything, she took care of the paperwork for us, removing an item from our enormous wedding to-do list. I am very appreciative for her service and hope she continues to help any looking for a beautiful wedding day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
