Danielle Sent on 12/30/2024Wedding officiant
Carmen was beyond amazing. From the very beginning stages all the way to the day of, we could not have asked for a better officiant. She made everything so fun and brought our vision to life. She was so helpful, very responsive and efficient. We love Carmen and will always cherish her and the special part she played in our big day.Ceremonies by Carmen's reply:
Danielle, thank you so much for your incredible review! It was truly a joy working with you and Scottie and being part of such a special moment in your lives. I’m so happy I could bring your vision to life and help make your big day everything you dreamed it would be. Your kind words mean the world to me, and I’ll always cherish the memories of your beautiful celebration. I love that picture you shared too - we were watching you walk down the aisle saying hello to all your guests - it was perfect!
Wishing you and Scottie a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and endless happiness! 💕 -

Sydney Sent on 05/31/2022Highly recommend!
We hired Carmen for our smaller (90 person) wedding and she was incredible! Unfortunately the wedding planner we had wasn’t the greatest but when Carmen arrived, she directed us as to what we should do with the ceremony/marriage license/etc and was incredibly helpful! -

Maggie Sent on 11/23/2021Look no further, Carmen was fabulous!
Carmen was so easy to work with- she was a great officiant! My husband and I were married on 10/23/21 in Benton Harbor, MI. Carmen did such a thoughtful and detailed job putting together the script for us to review, make any edits and approve in plenty of time before our big day. She listened and included what we said about each other in the script. One of my dear friends said the ceremony felt like a love story instead of your typical standard wedding script. Thank you Carmen, for all you did to help make our day truly what dreams are made of!Ceremonies by Carmen's reply:
Oh Maggie - thank you for inviting me into your lives and for the glowing review. I loved getting to know you and Bryan and loved interacting with your friends and family the day of your ceremony. I am so honored that I could make your wedding day as special as it should have been. I wish you both all the love and happiness in the world. -

Cristina Sent on 10/03/2021Carmen was the perfect officiant for us.
Carmen was super friendly and personable and made my wife and I very comfortable on our wedding day. She took time to get to know us before the wedding and wrote us a personal, custom wedding script which was touching and perfect. We couldn't have picked a better person to officiate for us. Thanks so much, Carmen!

Megan Sent on 09/19/2021Beautiful ceremony
Carmen did such an amazing job with helping us plan our wedding ceremony. We met over Zoom to do the initial planning and then worked with her to create the ceremony of our dreams. We met Carmen the day of our wedding (we elected not to have her present for the rehearsal) and she was warm, welcoming, and professional. We received lots of comments from our guests about how beautiful the ceremony was and how wonderful Carmen was. Would highly recommend her for your wedding!Ceremonies by Carmen's reply:
Megan, thank you so much for the kind words. It truly was an honor to work with you and Michael. I especially loved your vows to each other as well as your very special vows to Bailey. You're a beautiful couple and family and I wish you a lifetime of love and happiness. -

Gloria Sent on 08/18/2020So happy we found Carmen
Due to “COVID season,” our actual ceremony was indefinitely postponed. We very much wanted to get married still and couldn’t wait to tie the knot. The courthouse didn’t have dates that worked for us, so I ended up looking up officiants in the area. We decided to reach out to Carmen based on the great reviews and we were so pleased to find out for ourselves why. We had a quick elopement in the botanical gardens Carmen was so friendly and personable, she is a person who loves love. She was incredibly thorough and responsive when we reached out. The actual ceremony was so beautiful, her wedding script and vows were so well written. We had such a short ceremony but within that short amount of time, Carmen left such a great impression on us and we are so very thankful to her for giving us such a lovely ceremony. I would highly highly recommend her services.Ceremonies by Carmen's reply:
Gloria - thank you so much for your kind words. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and John and I am honored that you invited me into your lives. I wish you all the love and happiness in the world.

Arlie Sent on 12/29/2019Our wedding
Carmen is very personable and professional, she gave us a lovely experience. She also went above and beyond our expectations adding a bit of her personal touch to the way things went. We couldn’t have chosen a better officiant or person for that matter. -
![Ashley]()
Ashley Sent on 11/27/2019A beautiful ceremony
Carmen was wonderful to talk to and really got to know our relationship and story. After talking with her through FaceTime she sent us a draft of what she planned on saying for our ceremony. It was so thoughtful and well written we didn’t even need to make any changes to it! She was there for our rehearsal and made sure we were comfortable with the timing and order of everything so we could rest easy the night before the wedding. Our ceremony was perfect and we know that her words were very meaningful and spoken from the heart! You need to have Carmen as your wedding officiant, she made the whole thing so relaxed and easy!! Thank you Carmen!! -

Jaclyn Sent on 11/01/2019Magical day with Carmen
We were lucky enough to have Carmen as our wedding officiant on 10/26/19. We met her beforehand in person, and she really spent the time getting to know us . She was genuine, professional, warm, and lovely to be around. She worked with us to generate the best wedding script for our day. She arrived the day of our wedding on-time and excited to be there. She carried out the ceremony beautifully and supported us throughout the day. I cannot recommend her enough! She is fantastic to work with and truly made our day special. Thank you Carmen! -

Jackie Sent on 05/31/2017Carmen was amazing. She sat down and took the time to get to know us. She was then able to write a ceremony that truly reflected us. We had so many compliments on our ceremony. -
![Deni]()
Deni Sent on 05/01/2017Carmen was wonderful to work with, truly flexible! It was difficult to find an officiant that would have no problem providing a service for a same-sex couple. When it came to our ecperience with her, we truly felt that she cared about our relationship and that she wanted to know as much as possible in order to provide the best service. She was a natural and blended in as if she were family! Would recommend to any couple. -
![Destiny]()
Destiny Sent on 02/23/2017Carmen was so wonderful. She was on time, professional and caring. She was understanding and helpful with my exceptionally nervous groom. Would most definitely recommend her. -
![Rachel]()
Rachel Sent on 07/25/2016As soon as we met Carmen, we knew she was a perfect match for us and our ceremony. She is very professional, yet laid back. We wanted something non-denominational, but never imagined or wedding script would be so amazing. She made our guests laugh, cry, and smile from ear to ear. We received so many compliments about her and her services. We could not have chosen a better officiant than Carmen and highly recommend her if you're looking for a beautifully worded orchestrated ceremony. -

She was open to letting us tweak the vows to fit our unique needs/desires. If you are looking for an officiant to make your special day/ceremony everything that you desire; Carmen is the officiant for you!!! Thank you Carmen, we couldn't have had our special day without you XOXOXOXO. - Akermans -
![Kristin]()
Kristin Sent on 05/15/2014Carmen was absolutely amazing! She well prepared of our very short notice wedding. She was very quick to respond and come up with drafts for us to look over. She has a great personality, fun, upbeat, knows how to keep everyone calm and organized with what is going on, flexible,but also very professional. We were lucky enough to find her in short notice and she is someone that we could really relate to. If you need an officiant to marry you she is the one! Absolutely no regrets!!! Thank you so much Carmen for help in making our day so perfect!
