Tessa V. Sent on 02/15/2020Heidi made our wedding unforgettable!
I cannot recommend Heidi enough! She perfectly captured our story and conveyed it to our friends and family with both humor and gravity. We had a non-traditional ceremony, and she made it unforgettable with reading suggestions and a unique bourbon unity ritual. With Heidi you can tell that weddings are her passion, and she goes out of her way to make your day one to remember.Heidi Yorkshire Celebrant's reply:
It was an honor to tell Tessa and Tyler’s love story at their beautiful winter wedding, in a stylish beer hall lit with twinkling lights. We all laughed and shed a few tears as these two gorgeous engineers spoke their vows. -

I cannot imagine a better wedding officiant than Heidi! Charismatic, kind, and a natural story-teller, she was one of our favorite parts of our own wedding!
Heidi took the time to really get to know both of us and our relationship, and then wrote a ceremony that was insightful, emotional, and personally meaningful. As a non-religious couple, we were at a loss on how to make the ceremony have the weight and gravitas of a traditional wedding without the religion. Heidi was wonderfully helpful; providing all sorts of alternative words and rituals, as well as suggesting elements from stories we had told her about our families and relationship. She helped us build a ceremony that was uniquely meaningful to us, as well as quite funny! She had the audience both laughing and crying!
When challenges and last minute changes come (as they always do!) you can trust her to handle just about anything with grace and humor. When a family tragedy struck right before the wedding, she provided a shoulder to cry on and worked with me to rewrite the ceremony to incorporate it. When a windstorm hit our outdoor ceremony, it was Heidi's calm and unruffled presence that held everybody together.
We're eternally grateful to Heidi for helping us create our ideal ceremony. If you are looking for something authentic, meaningful, and a little outside the box, there is simply no one better :)Heidi Yorkshire Celebrant's reply:
Tim and Molly were my ideal clients -- smart, mature, big-hearted people who knew that the most important part of a wedding ceremony is the emotion (not the frou-frou). I wish I could marry them every day! And the crazy wind out in the Columbia River Gorge made this ceremony unforgettable for everyone there! -

An amazing experience— the whole process was so comfortable. Heidi listened to all our needs, she makes sure your day is authentic and everything you can imagine. Her communication is superb, there wasn’t a moment of worry amongst the juggle of preparation. We’re grateful and blessed. In front of the largest audience of my life, I felt so confident having Heidi lead our day. We get compliments on our wedding every time we see friends and family!Heidi Yorkshire Celebrant's reply:
Tracy and Jaret are real originals. Every aspect of their ceremony was completely personalized. Their unity ritual was based around sharing kombucha -- a first for me! And they have even created a new last name to share. Tracy wore a stunning rose dress accessorized in gold. These two have a beautiful life ahead of them, and I was honored to be part of the beginning. -

Doug Sent on 08/21/2018Each of us has a little magic that leads us to our wedding day. Heidi worked with us to tell the story of that magic and create a memorable ceremony and a special day. She also provided us with a number of spot-on referrals to other folks who helped us. A special thanks to Mike Doolin (music) and Tavin (hairdresser, makeup). We were so glad to have her as our celebrant. And she has a beautiful singing voice!

User2498263 Sent on 01/07/2016Heidi is the most empathetic, eloquent, and delightful officiant we could have hoped for. She really listened to our stories and encapsulated them beautifully in the ceremony. Whenever we ran up against a wall, she came up with excellent alternatives and suggestions. She was always receptive to our preferences, and provided us with a draft of the ceremony for our suggestions within a very short time after our meeting. The draft was so good that we made almost no changes. When the ceremony was performed, we and all our guests were moved deeply. We have since sent it to friends and family who couldn't attend the ceremony, and they have all raved about it. We cannot recommend her highly enough.Heidi Yorkshire Celebrant's reply:
During 25 years as a journalist, I developed listening skills which are really helpful in my Celebrant practice. Expressing the essence of the couple is my goal, and I am always thrilled when they feel I have done them justice. This was a lovely ceremony in a very classy hotel. -
User2404341 Sent on 11/01/2015Working with Heidi was an absolute pleasure. 3 weeks before our wedding our priest cancelled and we had no idea what to do. Heidi stepped in and from the moment we met her we knew that we were in good hands. She really took the time to get to know us and you would have thought that she was part of the family based on the amazing job she did. Her professionalism and sincerity impressed all. Heidi was a delight and a joy to work with.
Heidi Yorkshire Celebrant's reply:
This was definitely a quick turn-around, but I love a challenge. On the night of the wedding, the groom sent me this note by email: "After the ceremony, we were whisked away to photos and it seems we are just able to look up. The ceremony was brilliant, so thank you for all your prep and personality. I am sure we will follow up in the coming days but we wanted to quickly say... thank you!!" -
User2414918 Sent on 11/07/2015I don't even know where to begin to sing the praises of Heidi Yorkshire! Our wedding planner directed us her way and from the moment we met both her my (now) husband and I knew she would be a perfect fit for us. Heidi is professional, and saying she is on top of things is an understatement. She understood the direction we were going for and contributed wholeheartedly, helping us put our scattered thoughts into a concrete and beautifully written ceremony. Heidi sent over suggestions for readings that were meaningful, she corralled our often wandering attention spans to make sure we were on track, and edited our own words to craft a story that was so, so special. I can't even count the number of people who came up to us and told us that our ceremony was one of the most meaningful and heartfelt ceremonies they had witnessed - I totally credit Heidi for making that happen. Planning a wedding is a journey that is filled with endless decisions but I can make this one easy for you, hire Heidi to be your wedding celebrant. Heidi is a very special person and she will make your day as special as she made ours.Heidi Yorkshire Celebrant's reply:
Although I don't attend receptions, I always stay for a glass of champagne and a toast. The greatest thrill for me is when guests come up and ask, "How long have you known them?" That tells me I have totally nailed my goal of creating a personalized ceremony that really expresses who the couple is. -
User2333761 Sent on 09/24/2015We knew within 10 minutes of meeting Heidi, that she was the officiant for us! She was positive and enthusiastic from the beginning, listening to and understanding our needs. She listened to our story carefully and worked with us to create a beautiful ceremony that so many of our guests commented on. She made suggestions that showed she had genuinely listened to what we wanted from our ceremony, and you can tell that she does this because she enjoys it.
The writing, editing and delivery of our ceremony was heartfelt, and she was intrinsic to setting the relaxed and welcoming mood we wanted to achieve for our wedding day.Heidi Yorkshire Celebrant's reply:
These two weren't sure that they wanted to hire a Celebrant for their outdoor wedding, but we talked it over and came up with some ideas that really fit their conception of a simple and festive event. And the weather was beautiful that day, too!
