Top of the line!

Carole was amazing! She's empathic so she really feels what you are all about as individuals and as a couple. Then she makes sure its part of the ceremony. Wow! We couldn't believe that someone we recently met could tell our story like she knew us from the say we met. Awesome experience. Thank you Carole

10/10 Would Recommend!

Carole was phenomenal, she we very quick to respond, helped us find a place to elope, was early, and was very great with personalizing the ceremony and making sure to make eye contact with us which made it feel even more personal. She was absolutely amazing and I would recommend her anytime!

Absolutely amazing experience

I truly cannot recommend Carole enough. Our wedding came together very last minute, and we had no idea where to even begin. From the moment I submitted a request for an officiant, she reached out almost immediately and guided us with such care and confidence. She suggested the perfect location, crafted a beautiful ceremony script, and even wrote our vows, all from a simple questionnaire she had us complete.

What meant the most was how deeply personal everything felt. The way she told our story and the emotion in her voice during the ceremony made it seem as though she had known us for years. She captured us so perfectly in a way we will never forget.

Throughout the entire process, she kept communication open and clear, so we always felt supported and never unsure of what came next. Even with our chaotic, whirlwind timeline, Carole brought a sense of calm and grace that grounded the entire day. She was also incredibly kind and warm with our daughters, which meant so much to us.

I will always be grateful to Carole for making our wedding day feel so meaningful, intimate, and unforgettable.

Sentimental and Lighthearted

"We couldn't have asked for a better officiant than Carole Gold. From our first meeting, she truly took the time to get to know our story, and it showed. The ceremony felt incredibly personal, warm, and authentic—there wasn't a dry eye in the house! They struck the perfect balance between sentimental and lighthearted. If you want a ceremony that feels like 'you,' hire Carole Gold immediately."

Great Wedding Experience

Carol was instrumental in creating the perfect experience for our special situation: two widowed seniors marring after 50 plus years of blissful marriages. The vows Carol created were sensitive to our situation and well-received by our extended families.

Helpful Lady

We were dating for a while, but couldn’t seem to get to an engagement. Someone recommended Carole’s relationship advisory thing and we were able to work through our differences and how to better communicate. She was also our officiant once we made it down the aisle.

Sweet Officiant

Carole was a real gem to find. We got married in 2024 and were struggling to find a non-Denominational officiant who made us feel seen and understood. She was quick to get out dynamic and what made us work together after just one meeting. Can’t thank her enough and highly recommend to others.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
