Father Kevin brought calm, warmth, and sincerity to a day that meant everything to us. He never rushed, never made us feel like an obligation — he made us feel cared for, supported, and truly seen. In a moment that was deeply emotional and meaningful, Father Kevin was steady, compassionate, and fully present.

Robyn was so sweet and gives you options for each part of the ceremony to choose from so that it doesn't feel overwhelming to put together but you really feel like you can make it your own. She got back to me quickly anytime I reached out and even incorporated a last minute request I'd made the night before. Would highly recommend!

We are so glad we had Matthew as our officiant! He was super easy to work with and helped us customize the ceremony so it really felt like “us.” He made the whole process stress-free and delivered such a sweet, genuine ceremony on our wedding day. So many of our guests told us how much they loved the ceremony, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for anything better. Matthew did an amazing job and we’d recommend him to anyone! 💍✨

We had such a wonderful experience with Jim as our wedding officiant. He was incredibly responsive from the very beginning and so personable throughout the entire process. It’s clear he is passionate about what he does. He took the time to understand what we wanted and was very accommodating in tailoring the ceremony to fit our vision. He even incorporated a beautiful butterfly release into our ceremony, which made the moment even more special and memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant and highly recommend Jim to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about making their day unforgettable.

Working with Janet was everything that we had hoped for and much more. Communication with Janet was on point and very structured during the entire process. She was very knowledgeable, which helped guide us with making the best decisions for our ceremony. We were very grateful for how easy she made the process. She was always willing to do video calls and answering emails and texts to make sure that we all were on the same page. During the ceremony, Janet commanded everyone’s attention and took control which made everything go very smoothly. What we appreciated the most at certain moments, she would tell us both to take a deep breath and breathe. That helped calm our nerves and for us to re focus, which was extremely helpful. If you are looking for an officiant who is a great person, well organized and very professional, we highly recommend Janet!

Neal from the time we met him at the wedding expo in Albany, to our most recent encounter at the altar, made this feel so special for us. You can tell from meeting him that Neal is passionate about marriage and celebrating love but also extremely conscious about what makes marriages LAST. He never forgot to remind us that the wedding is the wedding, but this is for your whole life and we're constructing the words that will carry you through that life. His resources that he provides for helping build your ceremony are incredibly helpful and his additions to our "script" from our first draft to our final were always thoughtful and made an impact on our ceremony in ways that we could never come up with. He has a strong, calming voice and all of our guests (and of course, us) thought this timing and even small, comedic relief when necessary were the charm that made our ceremony so unique to us and so enjoyable for everyone to witness. Neal, we can't thank you enough for being apart of our journey.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Charming Ceremonies for our wedding, and we cannot say enough wonderful things about our officiant, Owen. From the very beginning, Owen was incredibly organized, professional, and thoughtful. He guided us seamlessly through the planning process and made sure we felt confident and comfortable every step of the way. On our wedding day, we had to make a last-minute change to the location of our altar due to unexpected rain. Without hesitation, Owen stepped in and handled the change with calm, grace, and efficiency ensuring that everything still turned out beautifully. His flexibility and poise made all the difference. Owen’s communication was outstanding throughout the entire experience. He consistently checked in with us not just in the weeks leading up to the ceremony, but even throughout the wedding day itself. His presence was calming, his words were meaningful, and he played such a vital role in making our day so special. We highly recommend Charming Ceremonies and especially Owen to any couple looking for a caring, professional, and truly exceptional officiant. He helped make our wedding unforgettable!

If I could give more than five stars, I would. We got married over Labor Day Weekend, and we’re extremely glad Maria officiated our ceremony. As soon as we got off the initial call, we knew we wanted her to officiate our wedding due to her friendliness, warmth and experience. She was open to our ideas at how the flow of the ceremony should go and provided help every step of the way as we wrote our vows. Our guests raved about the humor she injected throughout the ceremony and appreciated that she got to speak with them prior to the ceremony. Highly recommend her for weddings, you won’t regret it!

My husband and I were so fortunate to have Dan officiate our wedding in October. He talked us through all of our options, listened to our wishes and preferences, and then created a beautiful ceremony to celebrate our marriage. He was very communicative and responsive throughout the entire process, and we felt confident that the most important part of the day would run smoothly with his guidance. He is a wonderful speaker, and we received many compliments from friends and family who felt the same. I would absolutely recommend Dan to anyone looking for a kind and experienced officiant!

Juanita, did a great job on our wedding. She meet with both my wife and I before to go over everything. She is very professional and knows what she is doing. Our wedding went perfect. We couldn't be more happier with our choice in picking Listening Ears to perform our special day.
