After COVID forced us to change our original wedding plans, we reached out to Lehigh Valley Celebrants with approximately 30 days till our wedding. We connected with Kiera via Zoom and our conversation flowed incredibly easily. She was so kind and warm, and made us feel completely comfortable, explained the entire process to us thoroughly and within just one hour we could tell she understood who we were as a couple -- and that we needed to have her create our ceremony. Kiera was amazing to work with from start to finish -- she shared detailed outlines, provided questionnaires, as well as tons of examples of readings, poems and quotes that we could incorporate into our ceremony--and she was always willing to answer any questions. I can't say enough good things about Kiera --- she's a phenomenal writer and is passionate about the work she does and making sure that each ceremony truly captures her client's personalities and love story. Our ceremony exceeded our expectations! It was absolutely beautiful. There were a lot of tear-filled eyes and our family and friends raved about it after saying that they love how personalized it was and that it was the best ceremony they've ever been to. The ceremony was really in one word PERFECT. It was thoughtful, romantic, lighthearted, filled with so much joy and love, and truly showcased who we are as both individuals and as a couple. There were so many magical moments from our wedding day, but I can honestly say the top one I keep replaying in my head is the ceremony. I cannot recommend Kiera (thank you so so much!) enough. She will make sure your day is unique, memorable and beautiful!

Highly Recommend!
We are so incredibly happy that we were paired with Kiera to write and officiate our wedding ceremony. From the minute we met Kiera, we felt welcomed, comfortable and truly seen. Kiera was organized and explained each step of the process with us. We had a few elements to the ceremony we knew we wanted to include and Kiera incorporated them seamlessly to create what we can only describe as a dream ceremony script. We were then blown away a second time on our wedding day when Kiera delivered the ceremony - she was articulate, adaptable, so welcoming, and a comforting presence for us and our guests.
We had countless guests approach us to let us know how much they loved our ceremony - both the words spoken and Kiera’s genuine delivery. Several guests mentioned they were engaged the entire ceremony thanks to Kiera.
We sincerely cannot thank Kiera and Lehigh Valley Celebrants enough for providing us with the best experience and can’t recommend them enough!

Pure Perfection
Laura did an absolutely fantastic job with our ceremony! From the very beginning she was so interested in getting to know us and make our ceremony personalized to us. Every time we met with her she was always incredibly helpful and even asked questions that I would never have thought of. Our ceremony was incredible and a perfect representation of my husband and I. All of my guests raved about how fantastic and beautiful the ceremony was, there was not a dry eye in the crowd. I can't recommend Laura enough! If you are looking for a perfect ceremony, she's the one for you.

Irene made me feel so at ease after our first meeting! She explained everything so thoroughly and answered all of our questions. I feel communication is an extremely important quality in a wedding vendor because let’s face it, every bride experiences some kind of stress during the wedding planning process. Irene made me feel so calm and would answer all of my questions so fast! Our guests continue to rave over how personable our ceremony was. Irene took the time to get to know us and the ceremony reflected that!

Private, simple ceremony
Kiera and Lehigh Valley Celebrants made our special day personal and just as we wanted it to be.
They helped us find the perfect location for our ceremony.
Donna met with us to understand what we were looking for and assigned Kiera to our ceremony.
Kiera was responsive to questions and made our ceremony reflect who we were as a couple. She helped us with our vows and provided guidance for all the other details of our ceremony.
Our ceremony was private, simple and perfect for us.
I highly recommend them!

The ceremony we wanted
Celebrants go beyond just reading a script. Laura communicated with us many times in the months leading up to our wedding. She gave us guidance, homework, held us to timelines, and answered any questions we had. The result was a personalized ceremony that we couldn’t be happier with. It was very helpful to have someone organized who knows the ins and outs of weddings.

Tear-jerking heartfelt ceremony
Irene did an incredible job with our ceremony! She was so sweet and her questionnaire (and follow up questions) were so detailed that people were asking us all night if we knew her beforehand! We got so many compliments - my husband’s grandmother even felt it was the best wedding ceremony she’s ever been to :) we had a secular wedding and Irene was very open to feedback (we made a few requests and alterations to what we wanted from the ceremony and she was wonderfully accommodating), although her first draft was pretty close to perfect!! She also provided us with TONS of materials to help customize our ceremony (vows, ring exchange prelude, how to walk down the aisle, tips for the rehearsal, unity ceremonies, options for readings, and lots more). She was a joy to work with, and spending the extra money for the personalized ceremony is 10,000% worth it - hire her!! (Photo by Madison Wilson Photography)

The Perfect Wedding Officiant!
We feel blessed to have had Laura as our wedding officiant! The level of care and personalized attention she provided us exceeded our expectations. Laura is an engaging and happy individual with a big heart. She took the time to get to know us as a couple. We were always in a good mood after conversing with Laura.
Along with her uplifting demeanor, Laura is highly professional. She was organized and prepared for all our meetings and responded quickly to emails. Because she was knowledgeable about the wedding planning process, she answered all our questions and understood our sentiments. Laura became our advocate, especially when coordinating with other vendors in the days before our wedding.
On our wedding day, Laura delivered a beautiful ceremony! She was poised, spoke eloquently, and fully captured the essence of our love. Thank you, Laura!
We highly recommend Laura to couples looking for a wedding officiant.

Donna was wonderful!
Donna was the perfect choice as the celebrant for our wedding. She was so helpful and informative during our introduction. She even helped us think up small things to add to our ceremony to make it a bit more meaningful, like including a ring warming done by our parents. Donna wrote a wonderful first draft for our ceremony and she let us provide our own input and feedback to create the perfect wedding script for us. She was open and accepting of any and all changes we wanted to make. She created a ceremony that was tailor-made to us, and she definitely made multiple guests cry. She also gave us a lovely copy of the ceremony script after the wedding and it is something we'll cherish forever. She was truly wonderful and I am so grateful she was able to perform our ceremony.

Best Ever!
Lehigh Valley Celebrants are absolutely amazing when it comes to officiating weddings. Laura was our perfect match and made our wedding feel special from the very first meeting with her. She communicated with us many times leading up to our wedding and was a very hands on officiant with wanting as much info about my husband and I as a couple and as individuals. Laura wrote the most perfect, beautiful and personalized ceremony that we could have asked for and made our wedding feel so special with ever word that she wrote. Thank you Laura for making our day so special!

We loved working with Irene!
We are so happy we found Irene and Lehigh Valley Celebrants! When we first met Irene, we weren't sure how to connect the various milestones of our relationship into a cohesive story. At our very first meeting it became clear that this is one of her talents. We were so impressed with the way she was able to weave things together so soon after meeting us, we knew we had to work with her! In addition to telling our story better than we could, Irene shared many helpful options for ceremony details and wording and answered every question that we had. The ceremony Irene put together was so "us" that many of our guests assumed that she was a family friend of ours! Irene was a pleasure to work with and she is a very calming, kind, and thoughtful person. We highly recommend working with her for your wedding!

Created a beautiful ceremony for us
Donna did such a wonderful job as our celebrant. She took in everything we suggested and created a beautiful ceremony. She even gave us suggestions that we never thought of including and they became our favorite parts of the ceremony. The most important thing to us was making the ceremony feel intimate and centered around our love and Donna did that and then some! She also did a wonderful job of including Spanish pieces or translations into the ceremony because we are an interracial couple. I cannot recommend her services enough ❤️

Personalized, authentic, easy to work with
We are so happy to have found Lehigh Valley Celebrants. Irene was an absolute pleasure to work with, from our Zoom meetings to contacting her in regards to any questions that we thought of throughout the planning process. We read on online reviews that some guests have found the ceremony to be their favorite part of the wedding because of Lehigh Valley Celebrants - a statement we found to be bold! Well... Lo and behold, many of our guests have said the same thing. Irene told our story beautifully and authentically. Some guests have told us it was the most enjoyable, fun, and beautiful ceremony they've been to. We can't recommend Irene enough!

We had Katherine as our celebrant. She did an amazing job at our ceremony. Katherine did a great job spreading out our homework and drafts so we had a good amount of time to go over everything and be prepared. She also made sure to check in on the legal side reminding us upcoming dates. Our ceremony was beautiful and personalized. I still get teary eyed and giggle thinking about it. I would highly recommend her to any future bride.

Kiera Wilhelm from Lehigh Valley Celebrants is exceptional!! Her process is seamless in getting to know the couple, learning their love story and portraying their story so beautifully through her writing. We connected instantly with Kiera as she is personable and incredibly organized! She is such an eloquent speaker and truly made our wedding day so special. The ceremony was so memorable to us and our guests as they were actively engaged in Kiera's words. We cannot recommend Kiera and Lehigh Valley Celebrants enough! Amazing service!

We had Laura as our officiant and she was fantastic! We had a few virtual meetings and many email exchanges throughout the process. She gave us detailed guidelines and suggestions for what to include in our ceremony and was very open with the editing process. With our input, she wrote a beautiful ceremony that was perfect for us. She also helped us write our vows and gave feedback to ensure they read well and that each of our vows matched in length and tone. We had a great experience and I highly recommend Laura!

Amazing Celebrants!
Irene was our celebrant and she truly brought us so much peace leading up the the day of the wedding. Every time we had a meeting with her, we fell deeper and deeper in love, and grew more excited with the day. Irene make us very comfortable, and was very thorough in gathering information about us to create our ceremony. She was open to our ideas and suggested ways to make it more personal. On the day of, she was very organized and came ready to go. I’m so glad she was our officient. It made a worlds different to have her calm and fun demeanor at our ceremony, and we felt like we were being married by someone who appreciated all that we grew to be.

Excellent!
My husband and I were so happy that we chose Lehigh Valley Celebrants for our wedding! Our officiant, Laura Eppler, did an absolutely amazing job with writing our ceremony! It was so beautiful and she got to know us as a couple by meeting with us over Zoom and having us fill out a questionnaire. She was able to beautifully incorporate how we felt about each other and details about us into our ceremony. She was very helpful throughout the entire planning process and responsive to all of our questions. We got so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful our ceremony was and they loved how personalized it was. It perfectly reflected us as a couple and we could not be any happier with it. We would highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding!

Amazing, personalized wedding ceremony!
Lehigh Valley Celebrants’ Irene Blough officiated my August 13, 2022 wedding at Bally Spring Inn and designed a beautiful ceremony! Planning our ceremony was a daunting task to us, however, we always felt that Irene provided us with all the tools and support to create a ceremony that we never imagined we would have (in a good way!) Choosing an officiant was probably the most challenging wedding planning task, but we immediately knew we made the right choice with Lehigh Valley Celebrants. Through communicating and working with Irene, we found the task to become simpler and simpler because she provided us with the different ceremony pieces and options we could choose from to make sure that it was tailored to our needs/wants. It was a relief too in the planning process to know that we could count on her quick replies, thorough answers, patience with us, and how dependable she was on the day of the wedding. Her calm nature and attitude helped us feel more relaxed and like we could settle into each moment on the day of and through planning. Irene Blough and Lehigh Valley Celebrants were hands down our most organized, streamlined, and dependable vendor we had for our wedding. They have mastered the art of working with other people: zoom and in person meetings, email communication that was personable yet efficient, and a reasonable timeline for task completion (including friendly reminders for us, where needed, we really appreciated having reminders whether or not we needed them so we felt supported and not at risk for any ‘gotcha’ moments in planning).
We had no idea before planning a wedding that you could have such a personalized ceremony; it was never something we had witnessed at a wedding before! We have heard so many compliments about you and our ceremony from our guests, too! Everyone, including us, loved Irene and everything she crafted for us. She is a fantastic public speaker and writer.
Receiving the ceremony script in our card box was the most wonderful surprise, and I may have shed a few tears at the thoughtfulness of that small yet meaningful touch! It will be easy to remember every detail of our ceremony in the future with this script (especially since we did not opt for videography). Thank you, Irene!

Most incredible ceremony
I can not say enough wonderful things about Donna - from the beginning of the process and how comfortable she made us feel to the last minute COVID changes to a small microwedding and then to the day of the ceremony itself and her beautiful ceremony. She truly made this entire experience wonderful and our guests (in-person and via Zoom!) could not stop talking about how amazing the ceremony was. It was personal, intimate and Donna took the time to listen to what we wanted and get to us know us as a couple which made her ceremony so special for everyone to witness. The ceremony was truly our favorite part of our day and we cant wait to have her again at our larger celebration next year. Again, I can not stress enough how wonderful Donna was during the entire process and how amazing she was for our ceremony. Even during these crazy times, she made our living room ceremony the most special experience of our lives! Cant wait to have her with us again next year!

A beautiful and personalized ceremony
Irene was wonderful for our wedding! She really took the time to get to know us, both individually and as a couple. Her effort and dedication were evident in the ceremony she wrote for us. We received so many compliments on the beautiful ceremony she wrote, specifically how personalized it was.
