    Our romantic, spring wedding

    Choosing Colleen to officiate our wedding was not a hard decision. She met up with me several months before the big day. I really liked her from the start. Her energy is very relaxed and I could tell she would be a good fit for us. Another unique thing that she offered was to 'personalize' our wedding. My husband wanted a short and sweet ceremony (and didn't want to say too many personal things), but I wanted it to be very personal and I wanted everybody to feel included. We filled out a questionnaire separately and she wrote a beautiful ceremony for us. We were able to edit it and we both felt very comfortable and excited with the words she spoke. Plus we get to keep a copy of it! On the actual wedding day we had to make quick decisions by changing the location of the ceremony due to rain. Colleen made this transition smooth and non-dramatic. We really appreciated everything she did for us. She was a big part of what made our day so special.

    Personal & Intimate Ceremony

    Colleen was a joy to work with and made the whole process of planning our ceremony easy and stress-free. She asked all the right questions of us to create a deeply personal and intimate view of my and my husband's relationship to share with our family and friends. It was funny, sweet, and set the perfect tone for our wedding. I am so glad we trusted Colleen with our ceremony, it was truly my favorite part of our wedding day!

    Completely custom & meaningful

    Coleen wrote a beautiful ceremony that fit our personalities. The other “officiants” we interviewed didn’t come close to this celebrant! She had us fill out separate in depth questionnaires and from there wrote our love story and a beautiful 30 min ceremony that was absolutely perfect! She was one of the best parts of our wedding. Thanks Colleen!

    The Happiest Day

    I stressed out a lot prior to my wedding day. So many expectations I felt others had put on me. Friends and coworkers constantly asking and assuming I wanted a traditional wedding and would be doing things the “normal” way. Well, I’ve never really been like that and for a while was set on eloping with my husband in order to avoid wedding day stress. Finally I knew in my heart that it was important to me to include only those closest in my family to my special moment. Choosing the right person to officiate such a small and intimate ceremony at my parents home was stressful. I had no idea how Colleen would be able to handle our tiny living room with my mom, dad, dog, husband, and my dads small phone mounted on a tripod recording the whole thing. I was blessed to realize she was the perfect fit! Colleen was sweet and kind and fit right into our intimate gathering. She wrote customized vows, in which she included details of our meeting and courtship. She was kind enough to send us a copy after the ceremony. I would recommend Colleen to anyone and everyone. She was truly a blessing on my happiest day.

    Colleen Good Ceremonies's reply:

    I am so moved! I that tiny room was filled with love. It reminded me what weddings are really all about.

    Thanks Colleen!

    Thanks Colleen for helping us make our wedding ceremony truly meaningful. You successfully weaved in all the themes and important messages we wanted to include – our love story, the urban river location, honoring our parents … all put to our own musical score with treasured readings by loved ones. You helped us rehearse with ease and show up ready to go on the big day without any fuss or stress.
    I heard from many family members and friends who shared thy were really touched by our ceremony – a very special experience.
    Thank you! Samantha and Brad, May 2019

    The Perfect Ceremony

    Colleen honestly could not have been better. She crafted the absolute perfect ceremony for us. We have continued receiving compliments months later. She went out of her way to get to know my husband and I in order to make the ceremony perfectly tailored towards our personalities and what was important to us. Colleen also allowed for recognition of loved ones in a very personal and beautiful way. I personally never imagined that an officiant could complete such a beautiful, personal and unique ceremony. If you want an officiant who will put continuous effort into giving you the perfect and most heartfelt ceremony, Colleen in the right person.

    Colleen was wonderful to work with and made our ceremony feel perfect. She was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process and really made the ceremony feel so personal and heartfelt. With everything we wanted to be included in our ceremony, Colleen definitely made that possible. Our guests loved how Colleen made the ceremony feel so personal and centered around our relationship. It was such a pleasure to work with Colleen and we cannot recommend her enough.

    When we met Colleen the first time, we talked about our relationship, how we met, and gave her our basic vision of the type of ceremony we wanted. Colleen has a great process: Three months before the ceremony, she sent each of us a questionnaire with instructions not to share with the other what we wrote. Based on what we wrote, Colleen crafted (and this is just the right word to use) a ceremony and we received her first draft roughly four weeks before the wedding. For both of us, it was a good surprise to discover what the other said, thought, and felt about our relationship, our shared vision, and what we expected as our relationship matured. This was truly one of the best experiences we had. The ceremony as written was great. We made some minor adjustments simply because seeing the completed document gave us other thoughts; but, on the whole, the ceremony Colleen conceived remained intact.

    Having the ceremony as a complete reflection of personalities and our “messaging” to our guests really was the best part about having Colleen customize the ceremony. While we expected our friends and relatives to compliment the ceremony, we were surprised and delighted when the guests neither of us knew commented on how beautiful and emotional the ceremony was.

    All in all, working with Colleen gave us one of our greatest and most delightful surprises.

    Our wedding ceremony was perfect! Our guests loved how Colleen told our story so personally and how she effectively incorporated our favorite song and our winery venue into the ceremony. Colleen made us feel completely comfortable from the moment we met her and throughout the process she really connected with us and understood what we wanted from the ceremony. Thank you Colleen for being such an important part of our day and our lives!

    My wife Andrea and I absolutely loved our ceremony. We wanted something simple, and with conflicting schedules, were resigned to a courthouse wedding, when we came across Colleen. From our first contact she treated us with the same care as she would a large event, and on the big day managed to make our 'simple' ceremony into something we will cherish forever! There wasn't a dry eye to be found afterward; it was simply perfect and more than we ever expected. We highly recommend Colleen for all of your life's celebrations, and will certainly use her services in the future!

    Colleen worked closely with us to make our ceremony unique. It was exactly what we wanted! She was very responsive to emails and willing to change any aspect of our ceremony. She even sent reminder emails about getting her our questionnaires on time and suggestions about the readings and vows we selected. We received a lot of compliments from friends and family on how personal our ceremony was. A lot of guests commented that the ceremony was beautiful and a nice change to the traditional church ceremony. Colleen listened to our feedback and worked nicely with the staff at our venue to make our wedding perfect and memorable! Danielle and Mark

    Colleen worked closely with my fiance and me to make our ceremony personal. It was exactly what we wanted! We received a lot of compliments from friends and family on how personal our ceremony was. A lot of guests commented that the ceremony was beautiful and different than a "church" ceremony. Colleen listened to our feedback and worked nicely with the staff at our venue to make our wedding perfect.

    Colleen was beyond amazing for our wedding. SO many people came up to me to tell me that they had never been to such a heartfelt and unique ceremony. Having a completely crafted to US ceremony was definitely worth it.

    We could not have asked for a better experience from our celebrant than we received from Colleen. The original meeting with her was quick and easy, and the follow up "getting to know you" packet she had us complete to get to know us was fun to fill out together. A couple of days before the wedding, Colleen sent us a draft of the ceremony, using bits and pieces from our completed packet to create a 100% tailored wedding ceremony for us. We didn't even have to edit it - it was perfect the first time around! After the ceremony, many of our guests complemented us on the ceremony in particular, and a few even said it was the best ceremony they've ever attended. If you're getting married in the tri-state area, hiring Colleen is a MUST!

    Collen was a dream to work with. She brought several ideas and concepts to our initial meeting and was truly happy to provide us with our ideal ceremony. She helped us stay on track with planning and was completely accessible and reliable with feedback and suggestions on how to improve the ceremony. We feel so lucky we were able to find such a genuine and dedicated person to help us so much on our special day.

    We were looking for a very personalized wedding ceremony that would reflect our relationship and personalities. Colleen provided just that and more! We met with her and filled out detailed questionnaires to help her develop our ceremony. The result was truly amazing! Guests kept telling us how special it was, and how much they enjoyed hearing such a unique, and honest wedding that actually reflected the bride and groom instead of something generic.

    Colleen was very prompt in answering all of our questions, and arrived to the rehearsal and wedding right when she said would. She was reliable, trust-worthy, and also affordable. You should feel at-ease trusting her with your big day.

    Colleen did an amazing job officiating our wedding. She made us feel extremely comfortable and really got to know us so she was able to write and perform a perfect wedding ceremony. The ceremony was exactly what we wanted, and included our own words and words of our friends. She gave us a number of drafts so we were able to work with her until it was just how we wanted it. We were nervous about selecting someone we didn't know to officiate our wedding but it turned out amazing. All of our guests loved how personal she made it. I would definitely recommend her to others. It was the highlight of the night!

    Colleen performed the wedding ceremony for my son and his wife-it was so beautiful-one of the best I've ever heard. The best part was the she made it so personal and meaningful to them. Everyone who attended kept talking about how wonderful it was. Best of all,my daughter in law said that working on the ceremony with Colleen was her favorite part of planning the wedding. they were both so happy with the way it turned out.

    We loved working with Colleen for our wedding. We wanted a secular ceremony and something very personal, while limiting the ceremony to 30 minutes. Seemed like a tall order, but together we got it done! We loved filling out our "couples' survey" and felt that it gave us the opportunity to really tell our story and loop our family and friends into the ceremony. Colleen offered suggestions but was very flexible. She was open to doing multiple drafts/changes to the ceremony as it firmed up. She attended our rehearsal and dealt with our large, somewhat unruly group well :-P Would definitely recommend.
