Rachael Sent on 11/01/2011While Rev. Laura was already booked for our wedding day, we were MORE than pleased with her partner, Rev. Taryn Storck! Taryn was incredibly flexible in arranging our initial meeting (a casual coffee house convenient to both our locales). She was very kind, open to our input, she many questions & listened intently as opposed to controlling the conversation. She allows as much or as little manipulation of the service as the couple wishes and she was receptive to the special arrangements our families required for our ceremony. THe ceremony was perfect - just what we wanted! Nothing frilly, fancy or secular...just simple and representative of our 2 personalities. THank you Taryn for making our wedding ceremony SIMPLY PERFECT! -

Emily Sent on 06/12/2019Wonderful, Personal Ceremony
My husband and I worked with Rev Jamie for our wedding on 6/1/2019, and she wrote a wonderful, personal ceremony for us. We got complements from so many of our guests that it was one of the best ceremonies (and vows) they had ever heard: beautiful, concise and truly about us as individuals. She was incredibly easy to work with and very experienced.
On the wedding day, the moment she saw my hair style she recommended we switch sides so the guests would be able to see more of my face and my hair piece - something that we never would have thought of without her recommendation.
Highly recommend Jamie! -

Derek Sent on 09/13/2023Rev. Lisa Ann was amazing!
We feel so blessed that we found Rev. Lisa Ann Goldsmith to be the person to marry us in Pittsburgh. Not only was the entire ceremony tremendously special for my wife and me, I cannot count the number of people who came up to us throughout the reception to say "That was the best ceremony I've ever seen," "I cried six times," or "That was so personal, I haven't seen you in years and I feel like I know everything about your relationship" etc. We met with Rev Lisa Ann at least 3 times before the wedding to go over every detail, and she sent us the full ceremony script beforehand for approval so there were no surprises. She was also a great consultant for us both while writing our wedding vows. I can't recommend her, and Ceremony Officiants, highly enough! -

Kelly Sent on 07/05/2025Rev Karin Otto - INCREDIBLE!!!! Talked about by every guest.
My husband and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Rev Karin Otto. We were matched with Rev Karin and decided to do some premarital counseling sessions with her. They were fun, comfortable, informative, and something we looked forward to. It was important to us for our ceremony to reflect who we are as a couple, and the sessions with Karin beforehand allowed her to capture us perfectly. Although Rev Karin offered to let us see our ceremony script beforehand, we trusted her so much that we let it be a surprise. We were absolutely blown away by the detail, care, and content of the ceremony she put together for us. It was better than we could have imagined - there were laughs, tears, and every emotion inbetween. At our cocktail hour, the first thing every guest said to us was how amazing our officiant was, and how her script was the best they had ever heard (and our guests have been to a lot of weddings!). Our time with Rev Karin is something we will cherish forever, and we are forever grateful to her for making our wedding ceremony truly unforgettable. I will be recommending her to everyone I know, and if you are lucky enough to have Karin available for your wedding, you should look no further. Thank you Rev Karin!!Ceremony Officiants - Rev. Laura Cannon & Associates's reply:
Wow! Thank you so much, Kelly! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your journey. We’re beyond thrilled to hear how meaningful your experience with Rev. Karin was. We always aim to have our ceremonies be the talk of the cocktail hour - in all the right ways! I am glad to hear Karin delivered such a rave worthy ceremony for you two and your guests.
Rev. Karin is truly gifted at creating ceremonies that feel deeply personal, and your trust in her to surprise you with the final script is such a beautiful testament to that connection. We’re so glad your guests felt the same magic, and that her words left such a lasting impression.
We’re honored to have been part of your wedding day and grateful for your kind words and enthusiastic recommendation. Wishing you and your husband a lifetime filled with laughter, love, and all the sweet surprises life has to offer. -

Reagan Sent on 07/05/2014Rev. Lauren Going was so great! My husband was apprehensive about having someone that we found online do our ceremony but I convinced him to give it a try and meet her. We left our first meeting feeling so comfortable! She asked us all the right questions and really got to know us and what we wanted our ceremony to be like. She was very quick to respond and communicate with us and was very flexible with any change that we wanted to make! We had a last minute change with how the groomsmen would walk out which could really could have thrown someone off, but Lauren rolled right with it! We had so many compliments on the ceremony from our guests. Her delivery was perfect and she really made us feel comfortable! We are so grateful to Rev. Lauren and Ceremony Officiants for pairing her with us! -

Rev. Jacob Polasky performed our ceremony in Leesburg, VA and he was fantastic every step of the way! He helped us put together a beautiful ceremony and made sure to incorporate all the little details that we wanted. Rev Jake was also super responsive and engaged from the start, which made the whole thing that much easier. We would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a stellar officiant! -

Kristen Sent on 06/17/2019Rev. Laura is the BEST!
I found Rev. Laura Cannon through Wedding Wire and was impressed with all of her five star ratings and incredible reviews. Let me tell you that all of those ratings are 100% spot on! From the first time we reached out, Laura was responsive, warm, and easy to work with. When my husband and I met with her for the first time, she seemed to immediately understand our relationship and love for each other. I was absolutely blown away when a few days later, she sent a full draft of the ceremony to us and we had no real edits. I cried reading it because not only was it beautiful, it was also true to us. It felt like Laura had known us for years, and she was able to capture our relationship's past, present, and future.
The day of the wedding, Laura was an absolute blessing. She arrived early, was calm but excited for us, and did WAY more for us than is in her job description. She made sure everything was set up properly for the ceremony, helped line everyone up and told them when to walk, and made sure I had everything I needed to feel comfortable (including a plan in case I fainted since I have a history of passing out!). During the ceremony, she paid careful attention to us and gave gentle reminders to hold hands, pass my bouquet off and get it back, etc. We felt so comfortable and at ease, and the ceremony was flawless. Multiple people have told us it was the best ceremony they have been to! We have received so many compliments on it, and numerous people have said, "Your officiant was incredible!" When my husband and I were standing in front of Rev. Laura during the ceremony, it felt like we were with a friend, even though we had only met her once.
Bottom line: I would hire Rev. Laura Cannon over and over and over if I could. She was incredible and I wouldn't change a thing about our ceremony! Thank you, Laura, for everything you did to make our day special. -

Ashley Sent on 05/24/2022A Beautiful Wedding!!
We recently got married and Rev. Tony Bingham was our ceremony officiant! We found out a week prior from our ceremony that our original officiant needed to have an unexpected surgery. Tony jumped right in and do an absolutely AMAZING job. Over our screaming nephew (LOL) and the rain, he’d performed a lovely ceremony for my wife and I. We have received multiple compliments from our guests about him and we were truly blessed for our last minute change (not to say our original officiant wouldn’t have done an amazing job too!). I hope I never have to use his services again 🤭 but will refer to all my friends starting their forevers! ❤️ -

Stephanie Sent on 01/01/2018From beginning to end, Ceremony Officiants provided excellent service. The process was really easy. Even with my wedding jitters, I was still able to handle the process. My husband and I really enjoyed reading the bios of the officiants, and we were really excited to meet our officiant after we made our choice. Our officiant was the best. She made us feel really comfortable. She explained what the wedding process was and helped us to customize our wedding experience. We DEFINITELY recommend Ceremony Officiants for any couple planning their wedding!
