    Reverend Courtenay did an absolutely amazing job at creating the perfect ceremony for us! Not only did she make our ceremony deeply meaningful and customized to our life, she guided us through the whole process from beginning to end and anticipated our needs. She is extremely professional, very personable, quick to respond, and is amazing at creating the perfect day! Plus she was the only one that could calm the nerves of my groom before the ceremony started! We would recommend Rev. Courtaney to anyone and would not have changed a thing, all our guests were blown away with the ceremony!

    Absolutely Perfect!

    We wanted a super small in home ceremony(nothing fancy) and Rev. Courtenay did just that! She was early and more prepared than we were! It was perfect! We appreciated her patience while we got the Zoom call up and running, so my husband's family could watch from Puerto Rico!

    Wedding day officiant

    Rev. Courtenay did a great job! Everyone loved our ceremony and she personalized every detail. She put in a lot of effort to make the ceremony short and sweet, which is exactly what we wanted, while also being incredibly meaningful to both of us. We couldn’t have asked for anything more!

    A wedding ceremony with a personal touch

    The wedding ceremony my wife and I had was very well thought out. Rev. Courtenay makes an effort to get to know her clients as much as possible through the planning process to cater to the couple as much as possible in creating their ceremony. We were very satisfied with the services offered throughout the entire process.

    Firenze Wedding Ministries's reply:

    Thank you for your kind review, Tasha. It was such a pleasure to work with you and your wife, and to plan the perfect ceremony for you both!

    Couldn't have had a better wedding.

    From the first time we seen Firenze wedding Ministries online we just knew they were goinf to be right for us, after our first messages we were set.
    I could not have imagined anyone else to bless our perfect day, they both went above and beyons to make our wedding day exactly like we asked. Any questions, they came back with a quick response. No matter what day, they always made me feel like they were excited about this as much as we were.
    We were able to write our own vows and she made sure our wedding was completley personalised to us. She got to know us and our story, she became more of a friend.
    We were able to incorporate a beautiful handfasting into the ceremony which really was the icing on the cake.
    We used their premises and im so glad we did, we were even able to have cats there (crazy cat lady here!) They even took pictures for us! And we were able to have our own music. They really went above and beyond, which made us feel special. Our wedding went without a hitch, it was so beautiful and we couldn't be happier with everything.
    I will recommend you to everyone i know.
    Thank you again. Mr & Mrs Tyo

    Wonderful...more than just a wedding!

    Rev. Courtenay was amazing! Our ceremony was beautiful. The readings, the message of love was exactly what we wanted! Our original wedding date was postponed due to a serious car accident driving home from our rehearsal dinner. My daughter was seriously injured and spent a few days at Golisano Children’s Hospital. When I reached out to Rev. Courtenay she came to sit with my daughter at the hospital. When we were finally able to reschedule the wedding, it meant so much to me for her to see my daughter walking down the aisle as my maid of honor. Such a beautiful day!

    Rev. Courtenay Weinkauf did my wedding this past weekend and she was absolutely amazing! She was so helpful with planning the process from beginning to end, did a great job at our rehearsal dinner and made sure our ceremony went exactly as planned! She was very good at paying attention to detail, was quick to respond and impressed all our friends & family! I would highly recommend Firenze Ministries and especially Rev. Courtenay if your looking for dedicated, responsive and quality services! Thank you again for making our day even more special and perfect!!

    Rev. Courtenay was simply a joy to work with. She was kind and understanding. I would not of been able to pull me wedding together without her and her day of coordinator, Courtney. Our ceremony was absolutely beautiful. I don't think it could have been any better.

    Rev. Courtenay Weinkauf was the perfect choice to officiate our wedding. She was very helpful working with us to create the ceremonial script to our liking. She was very professional and responsible pre-service, during and post. Her reading was wonderful and countless guests commented on the lovely ceremony, reading and exchange of vows. We honestly can not imagine having done our wedding without her. And we highly recommend her to any person(s) seeking an officiant to perform their wedding.

    I was planning a destination wedding for a client and needed an officiant on very short notice. I needed someone who was unique and would not provide the usual cookie cutter ceremony we've all seen a thousand times. I needed someone that would understand the couple, and be flexible enough to accommodate their wishes. Luckily, Reverend Courtenay was able to help! Not only was she helpful, but she wrote a custom sermon that blew the couple away! She went above and beyond to help in any possible way. I highly recommend her!

    Rev. Courtenay was the epitome of patience and understanding as we tried to piece together our ceremony. The actual planning and personalization of the handfasting, ceremony and vows was done with remarkable ease. For a life event that is ranked up there with buying a house, a new job, starting a family, or losing a loved one - as one of the most stressful life events anyone can go through - Rev. Courtenay makes the most important part of the day, the actual ceremony, the least stressful part of the entire day. No matter what type of ceremony you wish to have for your special day, you can't go wrong working with Firenze Wedding Ministries or Rev. Courtenay. Our day couldn't have been more lovely and we owe it to her patience and understanding!

    Are original jp cancelled on us a week before the wedding Courtenay came in and saved the day . She was very flexible and helpful even recommended places to get the licence and what we needed to do and bring. We had written are own vows and I was worried that I would forget the words, she was very reassuring and had me email her them just in case I stumble. The ceremony was beautiful and she did a great job of making it feel intament and heartfelt.

    Firenze Wedding Ministries's reply:

    Maria,

    It was such a joy to be able to celebrate your love on a gorgeous, sunny day in Manlius. We are so happy to hear that you were pleased with our services, and Rev. Courtenay's ceremony, planned specifically with you and your spouse in mind. Congratulations again!
