    Where do I begin!! Rev. Riana was absolutely fabulous. Not only did she come to our wedding prepared and dressed professionally in her beautiful cream suite, she spoke so perfectly and smooth. Prior to our ceremony we met with Rev. Riana to discuss how we wanted the ceremony to run. She customized each reading and piece so it was truly what we envisioned. Rev. Riana also supplied our entire ceremony on beautiful paper in a booklet so we have the memories forever. I would High recommend Rev. Riana for any type of ceremony you are looking for. Thank you!

    Rev. Riana was fabulous. She was very professional and helped us every step of the way from day one. Planning a wedding can be very stressful, but she was very accessable and always provided guidance and helpful feedback almost immediately. She had a lot of creative and personal touches that made the ceremony very special and one that couples and their guests will remember forever. I would highly recommend using Rev. Riana to preform a wedding ceremony.

    Thank you Melanie and Blake - it was a honor to be a part of your special day! Many Blessings for life-long happiness! Always, Rev Riana

    Rev. Riana Milne created a wedding ceremony we will never forget. From our first meeting, she explained everything about our ceremony and how special she could make it. From the customized love letters and booklet, to the readings by special guests, the ceremony was elegant and enchanting, just like Rev. Riana! We will never forget Rev. Riana because she was such an important part of our special day. It was a day to remember for sure. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

    The experience we had with Rev. Riana Milne was absolutely amazing from the first meeting to the wedding day Riana displayed the utmost professionalism and provided a level of service we have never experienced before. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and learned about us very quickly. At the reception our guests, which was over 140; raved about her and how personal the ceremony was. Not one guest was left disengaged during our ceremony, which is an amazing thing. I would suggest Riana for any type of ceremony because she clearly has the ability to accommodate every type of couple! Thank you Riana!

    Ceremonies by Riana's reply:

    AHHH - Love You for saying this - Thank you so much! I really try my best to get every guest emotionally involved in your ceremony; as each one is there for a very special reason. Thank you for selecting me as your Minister, it was a beautiful event and I was so honored to be a part of it! Much Love and Many Blessings; Rev. Riana XO

    Rev. Riana did an amazing job with our ceremony. It was very important for us to be able to include personal aspects in our ceremony. She took the time to explore different options for us to ensure that our ceremoney was exactly how we dreamed it to be. With our requests andvher expertise, Riana was able to create an exceptional and memoriable ceremony for us. My guest are still commenting on how beautuful our ceremony was and it would not have been so perfect if not for
    Riana.

    Ceremonies by Riana's reply:

    Thank you so much, Heather! it was an amazing day, and I am SO THRILLED that you loved the ceremony and so did your guests. I try my best to make everyone feel your Love and Magic between you on your special day! Thanks again in trusting me with your Love! Many Blessings Always, Rev. Riana XO

    My husband and I used Rev. Riana for our 12/21/12 wedding in Atlantic City. From the day I met Riana at a bridal show to the day of our wedding, working with her was a wonderful experience. Rev. Riana is extremely quick to respond to any questions and is very knowledgeable. She is always super friendly and understanding about the stress and pressure that most brides are under.

    My husband and I really wanted a special wedding ceremony and we definitely got this with Rev. Riana. We had been to so many non-religious weddings over the years that felt generic, too quick, impersonal and we really wanted to find a way to have a meaningful ceremony without having to go to a church or house of worship. Rev. Riana took a great deal of time meeting with us and discussing our dreams and wishes during our ceremony planning meeting. She has numerous books that contain various options for readings, vows, prayers etc. She suggested we do "love letters" instead of our own vows and I am so happy that we decided to go that route. Hearing my husband's love letter for the first time during our ceremony is one of the most special and significant memories I have of our wedding day and I owe that all to Rev. Riana. Rev. Riana also allowed us to add our own personal elements to the ceremony which meant a lot to us and she was super flexible with me when we wanted to change a part of our ceremony a few times prior to the big day.

    Rev. Riana was very punctual on the wedding day and met with my husband to review everything and made sure he knew what to do. She looked beautiful and professional in her white robes and gave us a beautiful keepsake copy of our wedding ceremony script. I highly recommend using Rev. Riana to anyone who is looking for a wedding officiant.

    Ceremonies by Riana's reply:

    Oh Jennifer Thank You So Much for this Beautiful Review! I can't tell you how much this means to me, that you were so happy with your ceremony on your wedding day! I wanted everything perfect for you, and I am so glad you felt it was! The ceremony sets the tone for the entire day, so I am REALLY Happy that you felt it was wonderful! Wishing you Many Blessings Always, Much Love, Rev Riana XO

    We used Riana for our recent wedding on October 7, 2011 and I cannot praise her enough. The ceremony that she helped us build was the talk of the day. I cannot tell you how many guests came up to us and told us that our ceremony was beautiful, there were so many people crying the whole time. She really helped us set the tone for our day and I would highly recommend her !! Thanks Riana for helping to make our day extra special and taking each of our suggestions into consideration to help us build a beautiful ceremony !!! - Karrie & Tim

    Ceremonies by Riana's reply:

    Dearest Karrie & Tim - I'm So Glad your guests were emotionally moved by your unique, personalized ceremony! It is so true, the ceremony does set the tone for the entire day, and it is important that your guests know they are important in being there to celebrate you two and your Love! I love to create a ceremony with your input so that you get EXACTLY what you wanted and envisioned for your special day! Thanks again for trusting in me and hiring me for your wedding. Much Love, and Many Blessings, Always, Rev Riana XO

    Riana gave an outstanding effort. Very understanding of our needs. Her experience and knowledge helped us with our first marriage. She was sincere and had excellent suggestions. Very easy to work with. We had over 100 people and all of them were impressed. 90% of them are of Italian families that are very pickie and selective. Her wine ceromony gave the perfect touch. We had a religous and spiritual feel with out the church.Riana dealt with some curve balls that might have been serious issues with others. Riana hit a homerun with every curveball. Highly recommend Ceremonies by the Sea. We feel very comfortable to pursue her in the future with any guidance with our relationship. She is an oak tree to lean on in the future.

    Ceremonies by Riana's reply:

    Thank you Angelo and Stephanie for the Honor to serve you on this most important day! Many Blessings for a Happy and Healthy future! Love, Rev. Riana

    Custom Ceremony

    We are an agnostic couple with a range of religious relatives (from atheist to conservative Catholics). We needed a ceremony that felt right for us, but also would be well received by everyone in attendance. We loved the custom ceremony Riana wrote for us, and almost ten years later we still hear how our wedding was one of the best our friends and family have attended.

    Ceremonies by Riana's reply:

    Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to write a ceremony that was meaningful, and important and well received by you and your family members! I am so honored that 10 years later, you still can relive the beautiful memories that you shared with your friends and family! Many Blessings and Much Love Always, Rev Riana XO

    Amazing and Beautiful Ceremony

    Rogena and I exchanged our vows on August 28, 2010. Wow. Our 10th anniversary is coming up. Rev. Riana Milne performed a beautiful ceremony for us. We chose Rev. Riana because it was essential for us to have someone who would listen to what we liked and didn't like. It was necessary to have a person who was open and accepting of performing a ceremony for a lesbian couple. For Rev. Riana, our lifestyle made no difference. Rev. Riana is truly a professional. We met with Rev. Riana, and we discussed what and how we wanted our ceremony to be. Most of my family would only be able to attend in spirit, and Rev. Riana provided suggestions on how we could incorporate my parents and my sister into the ceremony. Part of the service was written in honor and memory of my family—a lovely piece making the ceremony that much more special. Rev. Riana asked both of us to write a letter to the other. The letter and her words of a beautiful service were put into an attractive booklet so we would have a keepsake of our special day. Rev. Riana is a person who not only performed our ceremony but she became our friend. We highly recommend Rev. Riana to be your officiant for your celebration. You will not be disappointed. Professional, caring, understanding, and most importantly, she wants you to have the ceremony you've always dreamed of having. Thank you, Rev. Riana, for the special day you gave to us. Love, Karen and Rogena Jones. Written on 05-25-2020.

    Ceremonies by Riana's reply:

    Dearest Karen & Rog - Your Beautiful Celebration of Love Wedding that I was so Honored to Officiate will always be a cherished memory to me! I had met you prior to the wedding and wanted to make sure it was exactly as you had envisioned your special day. I knew with the loss of Karen's mom and sister that their most sacred memories was extremely important to be a part of your day - and I am so glad I could bring that sense of family connection for you both through my custom written ceremony. I watch your journey year after year and I know God's Spirit and Your Angels are Blessing you with much Happiness. Congratulations on your upcoming 10 year Anniversary! I am sending you Hugs and much Love from Florida! Celebrate BIG! You both deserve it. In Love & Light, Rev Riana

    Riana gave my husband and I our dream ceremony. We were married July of 2010 on the beach. From the first time we met Rev. Riana, her #1 concern was that our ceremony was exactly what we wanted, and that it was a representation of us. There were no ideas forced on us, she just helped us to express ourselves through her beautiful ceremony. She has many ideas to choose from, however, she is sure to let the couple be the ones who are expressing themselves! We got a package where we also received a beautiful book of our ceremony to keep. Riana was great at speaking loudly on the beach, our ceremony could not have been more perfect!
    Tami

    Ceremonies by Riana's reply:

    Hello Beautiful Tami! Thank you so much for this amazing review and I'm so glad you loved your custom Gold Ceremony with the Memory book. I always love to see how these personalized ceremonies come together; with my templates and the couple's ideas. I am so glad it "felt like yours alone" - because it was YOUR special ceremony! Many Blessings and Much Love Always, Rev Riana XO

    everyone said that our wedding ceremony was beautiful and not boring. Rev. Milne was kind and really took the time in personalizing our ceremony and making it perfect. She is wonderful to work with and I would recommend her to anyone who wants to make their wedding day perfect.

    I contacted Rev. Riana Milne two weeks before our ceremony. She was very accomodating and went out of her way to make things beautiful in such a short amount of time. The day will always be memorable and I would diffenetly recommend her to a friends. Thank you for making our day so special.

    She was amazing...my oldest relatives were telling me that they have never seen such a moving and emotional ceremony. Many of my older family members were worried about going to a Civil Union Ceremony having never been to one, they said it was comfortable and brought tears to their eyes. Riana kept it moving yet did not take away from what it was all about. One of the coolest things is that she lets you piece together your own ceremoney with her. It is completely up to you and your partner how the day goes. She arrived with plenty of time and was kind to all of my guests. I highly recommend her.

    Ceremonies by Riana's reply:

    Hello you two Lovebirds! Thank you so much for this beautiful review and trusting me to create a custom ceremony that you both would LOVE! It was a beautiful day and your friends so loving and supportive of you; it was great they were so moved with emotion. That was our goal. I wish you both Much Love and Happiness Always! Many Blessings, Rev Riana XO

    Rev. Riana provided helpful guidance from planning to the wedding day. The was very personal and professional. We had one on one time with Rev. Riana to plan and coordinate our wedding. We had our children participate in a Sand Ceremony to blend our two families together and that made them feel very special and part of the ceremony. I would highly recommend Rev. Riana for your special day.

    Ceremonies by Riana's reply:

    Hello Patty and family! It was so special doing this customized ceremony to include your adorable children as well. When two couples remarry, the blending for the kids should be special and loving too, and I truly believe they were happy to be a part of things. Thank you for trusting me with this very special day for you, and the entire family! Many Blessings and Much Love Always, Rev Riana XO

    Riana did an amazing job with our wedding. As advertised, she offers a completely personalized ceremony, taking plenty of time to sit with you and work everything out. She has plenty of suggested ceremony elements but will work anything and everything you want into the ceremony one way or another. She also has a wonderful speaking voice and very calming presence, the latter of which really makes you feel comfortable and at ease--even with hundreds of people staring at you, haha!

    Ceremonies by Riana's reply:

    Hey Nancy! SO glad I made you feel safe and comfortable on your wedding day - I know it can be nerve-wracking with the many details, but yes, the "broadcast voice" and Meditation practice I do comes in handy! Thank you so much for hiring me for your special day, I'm so glad you loved your custom ceremony! Much Love, and Many Blessings, Rev Riana XO
