    Love Down The Aisle!

    Eileen and her team were invaluable to us! From our very first meeting, until the last song of the evening, Down The Aisle was the support we needed more then we even imaged. They are experienced, super friendly and worked with all of our vendors to pull off what we know call "the N+E wedding extravaganza". Their Day Of Coordination service was a life-saver for so many, many reason. On our wedding day, we felt like we had our own wedding concierge. Eileen also wrote (and Officiated) the most beautiful ceremony. We can’t stop smiling. Do we recommend Down The Aisle??? Yes, yes, and yes! ❤️

    Best Decision Ever!

    We thought we could take care of everything ourselves… we were wrong!! As our wedding day approached, we started feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to coordinate all the vendors we hired and the mountain of details that needed addressing. We had already hired Down The Aisle for Officiant services and added their Day Of Coordination service two months before our wedding. Best decision ever!
    Eileen, Pearce, and the entire Down The Aisle team are all amazing, experienced professionals. They were calm, organized, proactive, and thought of things we hadn’t considered. They worked so smoothly with our vendors, coordinated and created a timeline so everyone knew exactly what and when everything was happening, and so much more. AND… our ceremony was absolutely perfect! We loved it, and so did our guests. We received SO MANY lovely comments. Best day ever! Thank you! Abby + Mike ❤️

    Beautiful, Moving, Powerful

    My husband and I are incredibly thankful for Pearce. I was just going through our wedding photos from our wedding back in June, and all the emotions of the day came back to me. I’m still in awe by how special our ceremony was, and this has so much to do with Pearce. Pearce wrote the most beautiful, moving, and powerful ceremony script for our special day. I cannot believe how much care was put into it. Pearce had an energy that was calming, but what stood out to me the most was how he seemed to have a deep respect for the sacred bond of love. I didn’t get to know Pearce beyond him being our officiant, but I feel like I know his heart now, and I have to say, he was made to do this. Since our wedding, I’ve told so many people that I never expected the officiant to be one of the most memorable parts of my wedding day, but it’s true! Any couple who is lucky enough to work with Pearce should consider themselves blessed. I know we do. Thank you so much, from the bottom of our hearts, Pearce. We will never forget how incredible you made our wedding ceremony. Abi & David

    Down The Aisle Ceremonies's reply:

    From the moment I met both of you, I could sense how genuine and big your love was. Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your love story and beautiful wedding day. It was perfect. Wishing you both a lifetime of love, health, and happiness. Pearce

    A truly wonderful experience

    Working with Eileen and her team was a perfect experience. She was so warm and engaging. It made us feel so comfortable and excited throughout the entire planning process. Additionally, she took great care to personalize our ceremony and include little stories from our relationship that made it feel even more special. Eileen also handled all of the little details and made it so we had very little to stress or worry about for our big day. I could not recommend this team enough!

    There when we needed them!

    Eileen and her team are a dream. Our original officiant cancelled, somewhat last minute, and we were in a bit of a panic trying to find someone new. Eileen was quick to respond and we are so glad she did. Not only was she wonderfully supportive leading up to our wedding but she was really helpful to us when navigating marriage licenses, quirks of the Michigan court system, etc.

    Kata and I truly loved meeting and working with you and Brian! Your wedding day was PERFECTION, and OMG... YOU LOOKED GORGEOUS! Cheers to, and cheers to love! Eileen + Kata

    Great officiant!

    Kata was perfect on our wedding day, she was organized and a calming force. The rehearsal was well done also. The script and vows they provided were exactly what we wanted. The special touches they suggested made the day all the more special. Definitely would recommend.

    Down The Aisle Ceremonies's reply:

    Awwww!!! Thank you Jessica! Your love for each other is a treasure. Incredibly happy that we were a part of your wedding day memories! Kata

    Best decision we made!

    So glad we hired Down the Aisle Ceremonies for our “tiny wedding” – it was truly the best decision we made.
    Eileen met with us initially to get details and to get to know us, and she checked back with us regularly as the wedding date approached to make sure everything was on track.
    She was very understanding about last minute “panic” calls and texts.
    Down the Aisle made great use of the space - we had a “tiny wedding” in a larger venue, and they were creative with layout and decorations so that the space felt comfortable. They took care of all the details, and we didn’t have to worry about anything – they decorated, provided a cake, bouquets & boutonnières, handled the music for the ceremony and background music afterwards. They also provided our wonderful photographer Jill Scapelliti. Eileen wrote the vows for us and officiated the ceremony, and it was wonderful. Down the Aisle even created digital invitations and a Facetime link for the Livestream of the ceremony (which they also handled), and they pulled it all together in a little over a month. Every detail was perfect.
    Eileen and her team handled “Day Of” coordination so everything ran smoothly, and we could relax and enjoy ourselves.
    Eileen, Kata, and Pearce were great to work with – we are so happy we discovered Down the Aisle Ceremonies.

    Down The Aisle Ceremonies's reply:

    Some might say, It's all in the details; and their not wrong. However, It's also the amazing couples that inspire us and make the entire process exciting. We loved working with you and Steve! Thank you for the lovely review. Nothing makes us happier than knowing you both have the best memories of your wedding day! Eileen, Kata, Pearce

    Best Officiant we could've ever asked for

    Having Eileen was the highlight of our little wedding!
    We reached out with less than 10 days to go, however, the Down The Aisle Ceremony Team was nothing but accommodating.
    Eileen gave us guidance and advice on how to make our tiny ceremony more special. By working with us and learning about us, she made sure our wedding was personal, intimate, and unforgettable for us and for our guests.
    There are not enough stars to describe how we feel about her services.

    Rich & Sara

    Down The Aisle Ceremonies's reply:

    Tiny weddings have become so special for many reasons! Meeting & working with couples like you, who refused to let the unexpected obstacles of 2020 deter their love story, has been a testament to the meaning of true love! Thank you for your kind words, and thank you for allowing us to be a part of your beautiful tiny wedding! Cheers to you & Rich! And... Cheers to love! ❤️ Eileen

    Perfect Ceremony

    The team is super friendly and responsive. We hired them at the start of COVID and they were extremely flexible as our plans kept changing. Also, the ceremony was just what we asked for. I love that added our story to the ceremony to create a personal touch.

    Down The Aisle Ceremonies's reply:

    You, Ryan, and all of our 2020 couples will always have a special place in our hearts! You've been through so much and at the end of the day, LOVE won! We were honored to be there for you and so very happy for you! Eileen, Kata & Team

    Made Our Wedding Ceremony Perfect!

    We lost our officiant three days before our wedding. Turned out to be a blessing because Down the Aisle Ceremonies were able to not only marry us but provide a much more beautiful ceremony than our original officiant. We are forever grateful and would highly recommend for anyone who wants a beautiful wedding ceremony!

    Everything and I mean EVERYTHING about your wedding day was beautiful! Glorious sunny October sky ✔️. Fabulous venue ✔️. True Love ✔️.

    A Day To Remember

    I couldn’t have been more pleased with our ceremony. I was a bit nervous going into the actual wedding day because we had almost no planning of it at all. But we trusted Eileen’s vision and professionalism and it was everything and then some. I highly recommend her services.

    Down The Aisle Ceremonies's reply:

    What would we have changed about your wedding? NOTHING! Absolutely NOTHING! The venue, love locks, ballerina slippers, and best of all, your LOVE! It was perfect, and Pearce & I were beyond happy to meet & work with you & Vince! ♡ Eileen & Pearce

    We worked with Eileen and she was absolutely wonderful. She helped us out on pretty short notice for our tiny wedding. Worked with us to write the perfect script and vows. Such a sweetheart too.

    Perfect Ceremony!

    We booked Down the Aisle Ceremonies for our backyard wedding and just loved them! We worked with Eileen and Kata, who were both just great! Eileen wrote our ceremony, which was so lovely and beautiful. Kata performed the ceremony day of and was just excellent, she was helpful, kept us on track and made sure everything went perfectly. They were both great to work with throughout the entire process, you can tell they really love the work that they do! Highly recommend.

    Words cannot express how beautiful and wonderful

    Words cannot express how special and wonderful Eileen made us feel. Her true to heart words and witty character made us feel so loved. She took the time to get to know our love story and the vows were beautifully written to reflect that. I would highly recommend Down the Aisle Ceremonies!!!

    Down The Aisle Ceremonies's reply:

    I will ALWAYS smile when I think of YOU 2! I feel our paths were meant to cross, and cross they did, in a perfectly timed manner! I am so HAPPY for you both, and I know love has many great things in store for your family! ❤️ Eileen

    Fantastic Personalized Ceremony!

    Eileen did a fantastic job of getting to know our story and she provided so many options for elements to include in our ceremony. We had more than a few guests ask if she was a friend because she did that great of a job personalizing our ceremony. She was extremely professional, organized, and definitely took charge during the rehearsal to make sure we all knew what was going on and we were all comfortable with it. Even when she wasn't sure of some of the wording we wanted to use, she made sure to get our feedback right before the ceremony so that it was accurate and what we wanted. We had so many compliments on the ceremony and it was lovely working with Eileen and we definitely recommend her officiating services!

    Down The Aisle Ceremonies's reply:

    It was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL meeting & working with you and Brandon!!! Your story, your family, your friends... everything was PERFECT! Happy, Happy New Year! Eileen

    Eileen is the best!!!

    Eileen and team did an outstanding job with our wedding coordination and officiating! We originally hired Down the Aisle for our wedding officiant, but after letting our original coordinator go Eileen was more than accommodating to step in and help with the planning/coordinating of our wedding. With very little time between hiring her and our wedding, Eileen was able to pull everything together and we don't think the wedding would have went as amazing as it did without her! The script for our ceremony was so beautiful, resulting in all of our guest sharing a tear or many (which we wanted). Eileen was such a joy to work with and our day was perfect with her help!!!

    Completely made our wedding day

    We could not have been happier with Eileen. She was responsive, professional, and so warm and welcoming that we knew when we met her that she was the perfect officiant for us. She was able to customize a package that met our budget even though we reached out to her last minute.

    As far as the ceremony, she wrote and customized something beautiful for us, incorporating so many elements from our “love story” and our guests complimented us on it all night!

    She also acted as a sort of wedding planner, keeping things moving, on time, wrangling wayward guests and coordinating the evening. We honestly could not be happier that she was able to officiate our big day and we can not recommend her enough.

    Down The Aisle Ceremonies's reply:

    Thank you Amanda! From your New Orleans proposal, whiskey barrel unity ceremony, and love of The Office, anyone can see that you and Nick are definitely going to have some fantastic adventures together! Writing your ceremony & being a part of the beginning of your life as Husband & Wife, was a happy experience for me and my team! Cheers to LOVE! Eileen

    Absolutely amazing!

    When we met with Eileen we had no idea what we would do with our ceremony. She made us feel so comfortable and gave us great ideas. She wrote a beautiful ceremony for us and had her amazing partner Jeannie marry us on our special day! Jeannie was absolutely amazing working with our family and I couldn't imagine anyone else marrying us.

    Down The Aisle Ceremonies's reply:

    Thank you Ashton! Jeannie & I loved meeting you & Christian! You two are so clearly meant to be together! Your excitement & love for each other made writing & Officiating your ceremony a sweet, happy experience for everyone!! "... a moment when there’s nothing else to lose, nothing left to fly, nothing in the world that could change your mind. (😉❤️🎶)
    Cheers to Love! Eileen & Jeannie

    Thoughtfully written, beautifully executed.

    Dave and I met with Eileen for an hour to discuss our ideas for the ceremony. She listened and provided great suggestions. We were thankful for the well thought out ceremony, perfectly executed by Eileen. Her referral for the ceremony musician Mia Green added even more to a lovely ceremony. Thanks Eileen!

    Eileen Will Make Your Wedding Day Even More Special!

    Wow! We got married this past weekend, and we're still totally in awe of Eileen; we seriously couldn't have asked for a better officiant! She has such a bright and joyful presence, and we knew as soon as we met her a few months ago that we wanted to work with her -- and I'm so, so glad we did. Eileen not only wrote the most beautiful ceremony script for our day (it literally moved us to tears), but she also followed up immediately after with information on how to obtain our certified copies of our marriage license and how to change my name. Not to mention the fact that she also delayed her vacation so she could officiate our day. If that doesn't say she's committed to her couples, I don't know what does. Eileen is an incredible woman and wedding professional, and we would work with her again in a heartbeat.

    Down The Aisle Ceremonies's reply:

    Awww... It was an absolute joy to be a part of such a grand & sweet love story! Your complete & genuine happiness filled the air! Cheers to love and all that it brings! Eileen

    Eileen is wonderful!

    Eileen was so fantastic to work with! She is so sweet and passionate about what she does, and it definitely shows in her work. When we first met Eileen she was so interested in hearing our story, listened to our thoughts and feelings about what we were looking for, and made us feel comfortable that she would able to give us the ceremony we desired. Eileen was very helpful with providing different ceremony styles, readings, and ideas. She was always available for questions, and never made me feel as if my concerns were not important. During the rehearsal she gave great directions, and helped to hammer out important details that I had not thought of. Thanks to Eileen our big day was perfect! The ceremony was everything we could have wanted. I am so happy that we found Down the Aisle, and had the opportunity to work with Eileen. She was also very prompt with submitting our marriage license and providing us with documents we would need after the marriage was legalized. Give Eileen a call, she is worth it!!
