    She is Great

    There was a lot going on that day and cold. It was supposed to be outside but we had it in my moms dining room and it was still lovely. She was so understanding even though we had a lot going on.

    We loved customizing our ceremony to fit us!

    Susan was very professional and helpful throughout the ceremony planning process. My husband and I did not want a religious ceremony and Susan helped us create a meaningful and beautiful ceremony that felt totally customized to us a couple. She gave us ideas of different ceremonies to include and we chose to include a sand ceremony, which was wonderful! She was able to give us ideas when we needed guidance as well as the option to customize any part of the ceremony. ALL of our guests commented on what a beautiful ceremony it was and that it was totally "us".

    Susan was the best officiant we could have asked for! She was very hands on and involved in helping us create our perfect ceremony. Aside from being so kind and invested in our process we could just tell that she's very passionate about what she does. I could not recommend her enough! :)

    Genuine and kind

    Susan was a wonderful officiant. She was loving, professional, wrote a wonderful service, and genuinely cared about our comfort with the ceremony. She was flexible about our date and time, and met us at our special location in Montreat. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a special and individual marriage ceremony.

    Perfect Magic

    Every bride wants their wedding day to be magical and perfect. That os exactly what my day was. I am so thankful for Susan and the role she carried for us that day. She was amazing through the whole process. From the very beginning, almost a year ago. Offering us ideas and never telling us no to what we wanted. she was open to my input and changes. Also not getting to do a rehearsal, it was super helpful and comforting with how often she went through the ceremony over the phone and emails to make sure it was what we wanted. The day was perfect and I am so grateful for Susan, BeLoved Ceremony for her calming, encouraging and peaceful energy she brought us. Plus to be so gracious with our 7 rambunctious kids made it that more serene.

    BeLoved Ceremony's reply:

    Thank you for your kind and generous review. It was truly my pleasure and an honor to officiate for you - and I loved including your children into the ceremony

    Book susan. Trust me.

    Susan was incredibly patient with us in the planning of our ceremony. She had wonderful ideas to make it really special and unique, and made it abundantly clear that it was our ceremony and we could do what we wanted, but she helped guide us to make sure we had thoughtful moments throughout which made it so very special for everyone there (the ideas that we did go with- the love letter box, the wine exchange and tokens for each other's parents were so great, and we never would have thought of those on our own. We didn't want anything cheesy and these weren't- they were awesome, and the ceremony was a perfect 25 or so minutes). She was very responsive to phone calls and emails leading up to the day, and she had no issues at all with minor changes or additions to the ceremony right up to go-time. You can truly be as hands-on or as hands-off as you like, and Susan will nail it for you. We have received so many compliments from guests saying that Susan was wonderful, and that our ceremony was unlike any they'd seen. She even handled the mailing of the marriage license for us so we didn't have to worry about that before leaving for our honeymoon (you only have ten days!). I would absolutely recommend Susan if you want a ceremony that is incredibly special. She is assertive, confident and so cool, and I can't imagine that day without her.

    The Perfect Officiant

    Susan was an amazing officiant on our wedding day. We eloped from out of state, she called me right away to plan the ceremony and had very good ideas to incorporate. The day of she arrived early and my husband said she had a very calming presence about her which I 100% agree with. Highly recommend!

    BeLoved Ceremony's reply:

    Thank you - I so appreciate your kind and generous review. It was my honor and a delight to officiate for you.

    Susan was wonderful. She called us quite a while before the wedding and went through what she would say so that it was customized for us. We eloped, and she helped make it feel intimate and lovely. She is warm and kind. I highly recommend her!

    Amazing, talented and caring

    Susan, was amazing. From the first time we spoke and reviewed the ceremony, she was always able to put us at ease and help us through any questions we had. Kevin and I have different beliefs, Susan was able to help us through with wording our ceremony to fit what we wanted to express to each other. She was able to bring all of our thoughts and feelings into words, then shared them with our guest.
    Though we had not met Susan in person before our ceremony, she made us feel like we have been friends for many years and spoke from her heart about us. All of guests were taken by how beautiful the ceremony was and how Susan delivered the words and meaning of the ceremony to us. Her elegant voice and heartfelt love that she expressed during the ceremony was felt by all. She was amazing and I am so happy that we were able to have Susan perform our wedding ceremony. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a relaxed, heartfelt and loving ceremony. Susan is very easy to work with and available to help anytime you need it.

    BeLoved Ceremony's reply:

    Thank you Jo and Kevin for your kind and generous reviews. I was truly honored to officiate your ceremony and touched by the love that was so obviously present. Many blessings for continued celebrations.
