Wedding Officiant in Pennsylvania

Elizabeth did a wonderful job officiating our wedding. During this holiday season, she was able to accommodate us on short notice at her home, and everything went so smoothly. She was extremely professional, sweet, and warm throughout the ceremony, and she truly gave us a beautiful and memorable experience as a couple.

Tori was absolutely wonderful when she officiated my wedding. She was very professional and very involved making sure the experience was personal and special. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

Our experience working with Rev. Kelly was truly special! When we first were looking for an officiant we felt very overwhelmed by the idea of finding someone who could help us to merge our ceremony combining our unique background, cultures, and religions. When we found Rev. Kelly and had our first meeting with truly felt we had know her forever and remember saying how comfortable we felt with her. Not only is Rev. Kelly kind and empathetic but she is amazing at what she does. She provided us many resources and suggestions on helping us create our personal ceremony! Her organization and eye for detail gave us full confidence in her as well! Our loved ones appreciated the beauty of the ceremony she provided for us and how she presented it on our wedding day! If you care about feeling connected and heard, we absolutely recommend working with Rev. Kelly! (Thank you Rev. Kelly for all your attention and support during our wedding process, we truly can't thank you enough)!

Of all the decisions my now-husband and I made for our wedding this past Saturday, Father Jim was by far the best one. Long before the ceremony date, he was helpful, communicative, patient, and guided us wonderfully. We live in Florida, so we were planning from afar, and not only was this not an obstacle for Father Jim, but he made every interaction feel like a comfort. He replied promptly, and helped us make revisions to our script until we had the one we wanted. Once we were in town for the wedding, we all did a rehearsal the day before, and he calmly walked us through everything. Neither of us have ever been married before, so we were frankly quite nervous and lost as to how everything was supposed to proceed. Father Jim was our rock and voice of sanity, and we left our rehearsal feeling like we were truly in the best hands. It felt like he was going to take care of us no matter what happened. And take care of us he did! The big day was incredible. It couldn’t have gone better, and that is due in majority part to Father Jim’s incredible improvisation. As always with weddings, I’m told, some things were not in place where they should have been. We opted for a Celtic handfasting at the end of our ceremony, and the special handfasting rope we brought had somehow been placed at least 10 feet behind Father Jim so that he could not reach it—I panicked when I realized this, and I was so sure we would have to skip it now. But Father Jim was quick, calm, cool, and collected, and used his stole instead. He spoke to the crowd and signified that it was the most special thing he could use to bind us in our covenant with God, and it ended up being even more beautiful than if we had used our rope. I was amazed—he never skipped a beat. No one knew that what he did and said there hadn’t been part of the script! He was amazing. The second hiccup we had was that we had chosen two bible readings to be read by young family members. Turns out, one reader didn’t get the message, so we ended up with only one. Again, I panicked when I heard the silence, but Father Jim gracefully moved on at just the right time and no one was the wiser. He is the most professional, wonderful officiant. And not only that, but he was kind enough to let us know that he would honor my husband’s late father in both Sunday Masses on the day that followed our ceremony. That meant the world to us, and it made it all the more emotional and moving when we arrived at the part in our ceremony where Father Jim paid homage by name to my husband’s father. I truly couldn’t be happier with who we chose to marry us before God, and I will cherish the kindness and resourcefulness and skill of Father Jim for the rest of my life. Because we live out of state and flew home on early Monday morning, Father Jim also helped us take care of our marriage documents and made sure they got to Pennsylvania. We had been stressing about how we were going to get those documents to the court with a weekend wedding, and once again, Father Jim came to our rescue. This is why we are so proud of our Catholic faith, because this is the kind of heart and community and kindness that we are promised in our people, and we couldn’t be prouder that Father Jim was the man who bound us to God as husband and wife. Thank you for everything you did for us, Father Jim. We will be stopping by for Mass the next time we’re up north!

     just now New Upon our initial meeting with Luanne, we knew she was THE person to marry us. She was personable, professional, and provided us with the options that we wanted for our more non-traditional ceremony. Luanne walked us through options to help us create the perfect ceremony for us. Leading up to our wedding day, Luanne was always available to answer questions and put us at ease. In our final pre-ceremony meeting, she captured all of our ceremony details, even the last-minute ones and shared them with our wedding vendors to ensure that the day went smoothly. In officiating our ceremony, she imparted her spirit of love. Her calm yet confident demeanor set the tone for us and our guests. From her opening, to remembrances of our deceased and missing loved ones, to our vows and unity candle ceremony, Luanne made our wedding day that much more special. Thank you, Luanne. Jennifer and Jim Pash

We picked Christmas Eve as our wedding date, and naturally had trouble finding anyone available to wed us. Within a couple hours of reaching out to Rev Judith we received a return phone call that she was available, and what the next steps were. Another hurdle we faced was the size of our guest list. Contrary to others we had a extremely small guest list, and no wedding party (i.e. Groomsmen or Bridesmaid). Rev. Judith has multiple wedding packages to offer. The Micro Wedding Package was PERFECT for our needs. The documents Rev. Judith sent us were very detailed and instantly assured us we were working with a professional that wouldn't let us down. As the date got closer Rev. Judith checked in with us periodically, and made sure we were prepared, which reassured us that we had nothing to worry about. Many thanks to Rev. Judith for taking care of all these details so that we could enjoy our stress free ceremony!

We hired Jim Haley to be the officiant at our wedding, and he was truly a pleasure to work with. Journeys of the Heart helped us pick the right officiant for us, and then every meeting and call with Jim was informative and fun. Our ceremony was heartfelt and perfect for us as a couple. Many of our guests told us they were impressed by Jim’s ability to lead the ceremony while still making us the focus of attention. I highly recommend him and Journeys of the Heart!

Having Reenie officiate our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. Reenie was truly a breeze to work with and is an expert at what she does. Reenie made it a priority to get to know us as a couple and personalized our wedding ceremony. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful our ceremony was. Reenie made the process so incredibly easy, from the rehearsal to submitting our marriage license. She does it all and is worth every penny!

My husband and I truly couldn’t recommend Rev Kent enough!! He made this foreign process (to us) so easy and put all our worries at ease. From the first phone call to the big day itself it honestly felt that Rev Kent was someone we had known our whole lives and we immediately knew he was the one to marry us. He had so much knowledge and truly helped us curate a beautiful ceremony. If you are considering Rev Kent let this be your sign to go with him, I promise you won’t regret it!!
