Ms. Ginny was absolutely amazing. We booked her in a matter of days for a wedding that was days away. She was very kind and supportive. She made our ceremony unique and special for us and understood a few concerns we had as far as how family was to be included, etc. If I could do it again, I would hire her again.Ms. Ginny was absolutely amazing.

My husband and I wanted to create a very special and unique ceremony for our wedding/renewal celebration. We met Laurie under very unusual circumstances. We had very little time left before our date to plan exactly what we were thinking of for our special day. Laurie sat and listened to our love story and came up with great ideas and caring sentiments to have in the ceremony. She arrived early, interacted with our family and friends and gave us our day to remember. All of our guests commented on how much they loved the ceremony and how great Laurie was. My husband and I felt very comfortable with her ad soon as we met her. Thanks for a wonderful memory to build our lives on.My husband and I wanted to create a very special and unique ceremony for our wedding/renewal celebration.

We originally had Ginny as our officiant for our wedding but about a month or so before the wedding, we found out that Ginny was unable to perform our ceremony but we were assured that one of her associates, Laurie, would take over and give us the same care that Ginny would have given us. When we met Laurie we absolutely loved her. She took the time to get to know us and kept reassuring us that everything was going to be perfect. Our ceremony was very personal and our guests gave us many compliments. I would recommend her to anyone!We originally had Ginny as our officiant for our wedding but about a month or so before the wedding, we found out that Ginny was unable to perform our ceremony but we were assured that one of her associates, Laurie, would take over and give us the same care that Ginny would have given us.

Thank you to Laurie for filling in for our original officiant in a pinch. She quickly made us feel comfortable since we only had about a week to get to know her before our wedding.Thank you to Laurie for filling in for our original officiant in a pinch.

Searching for an officiant was the hardest part of planning our wedding, and we were so lucky to have found Ginny! When we met Ginny at her house to discuss our ceremony, it was like we had known each other for years. We spent 2 hours with her, and you could tell she immediately had a good sense of our relationship, and she asked us some tough questions that made us really open up about our love for each other. Ginny is a real people person, and has a gift to be able to understand a couples deepest relationship with ease. She was always prompt in responding to emails, and she quickly delivered a draft of our ceremony after our meeting.
The day of the ceremony she arrived on time, and spent some time with each of us before the ceremony to calm us down and make sure we knew exactly what was going to happen. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful, and we received endless compliments about how personal the ceremony was, and how it was one of the most beautiful and meaningful ceremonies our guests had ever witnessed.
We can't thank Ginny enough for making the most important day of our lives so special!Searching for an officiant was the hardest part of planning our wedding, and we were so lucky to have found Ginny!

Ginny was absolutely wonderful as the officiant for our wedding. At the in person meeting, she took time to get to know us and was able to add a personal touch to the ceremony that made it even more special. Ginny was very responsive to the ideas we had for the ceremony and gave us useful advice and suggestions. Her gentle and caring personality even helped my 7-year-old daugther feel comfortable being part of the ceremony infront of all the guests. We are very grateful to have been able to have Ginny as the officiant for our wedding and would recommend her for any ceremony.Ginny was absolutely wonderful as the officiant for our wedding.

Ginny was AMAZING!! She was the first officiant we interviewed and we knew we did not need to look any further. In our initial meeting she assured us she would help walk us through anything we needed, I was never stressed about the ceremony working with her. I love how she has done all the leg work in regards to ceremony options and wording, we picked what we wanted and edited as we saw fit.

Ginny is so sweet and kind, she was even able to make my husband open up to her who is normally on the quiet side. During our first meeting she got to know us and used that to make our ceremony personalized. We opted not to do a rehearsal, but Ginny came early the day of the wedding to help us quick practice which really put us at ease. She provided a detailed questionnaire that she used to really make our ceremony personalized in addition to our meeting in person. She also provided lots of options for vows and ring vows. We were able to preview the ceremony wording before the wedding, but hearing the words on our wedding day it was even more beautiful than we expected. We had a moment of silence for our loved ones that passed, during which a gust of wind came in. Ginny made a quiet comment that "they're here" and I got goose bumps. Wow. I also liked that she personalized our ceremony by saying how my husband and I met, and what we loved about each other. The entire ceremony was perfect. The weather was not what we were hoping for, but Ginny was very flexible. I cannot say enough great things. We are so thankful to of had Ginny as our wedding officiant.Ginny is so sweet and kind, she was even able to make my husband open up to her who is normally on the quiet side.

I cannot say enough about Ginny Carson our officiate. She was warm and welcoming the instant we met her and I felt immediately like she would do a perfect job marrying us. I was having a hard time finding someone to personalize our ceremony but that is the concept behind Ginny's business: it's about the bride and groom 100%. Not only did she personalize our ceremony, she added in a personalized copy of our ceremony so that we can keep it and possibly use it as a future vow renewal. We left for our honeymoon relaxed and without worry as Ginny also files papers such as the marriage license with the state. Ginny is efficient, personable, and reasonably priced and I would highly recommend her to any bride and groom.I cannot say enough about Ginny Carson our officiate.

Ginny was absolutely marvelous. I can't say enough about her. She helped my partner and I to feel very comfortable with the ceremony that all of us created together. Because of her help, we were able to quickly decide the type of wedding we wanted to have. And, during the actual ceremony, Ginny's guidance truly reduced our nervousness. She guided us through the ceremony with ease. In fact, several guests at our wedding let us know that she had done an excellent job and they told us that our ceremony was very warm, loving and special. She is an unbelievably decent person to work with and very caring, kind and patient. We just can't say enough good things about her.Ginny was absolutely marvelous. I can't say enough about her.

Ginny was the perfect officiant! She tailored the service to meet our unique cultural traditions and special requests, and she edited every aspect of the service as requested. She also wrote our vows in a booklet, made special commerative keepsakes, submitted our marriage license right after the ceremony, did a full rehearsal with us the day before, met with us for an in person interview months prior to the wedding, answered all our phone calls and e-mails, and was extremely helpful and responsive. Our ceremony was beautiful and it even exceeded our imagination and hopes/expectations. We couldn't have asked for a better day or a better officiant! Thanks, Ginny!Ginny was the perfect officiant!

Ginny was a wonderful officiant. She met with us before the wedding - asked us about our values, beliefs, hopes and dreams. She incorporated all of this into our wedding ceremony. We wrote our own vows but Ginnys words during the ceremony were so moving. We had a Harris Hawk who delivered our rings to the best man during the ceremony. Ginny knew it was coming but had no practice time with it. She walked right up to it, took the rings, and played right into the whole surprise to our guests. Everyone has told us that the ceremony was so beautiful. Ginny's presence at our wedding was wonderful.Ginny was a wonderful officiant.
