    Perfection!

    Theresa was AMAZING. We had a very large wedding party and she did such an amazing job making sure everyone knew what to do. We had many guests tell us how much they loved her/ our ceremony!

    Inner Peace Ministries's reply:

    Catilyn, thank you so much for the lovely review. Truly, it was my pleasure, but EVERYTHING went beautifully and your families and bridal party were just wonderful people--as were the bride and groom! All the Best!

    Absolutely perfect!

    Theresa was a perfect fit to be our wedding officiant. She is sweet, light-hearted and immediately put us both at ease. From the minute we met with her at our planner’s suggestion, we knew right away that we wanted to have Theresa officiate our ceremony! She is a very eloquent speaker and a pleasure to work with. She was punctual, professional and an absolute delight. We were honored to have Theresa be such a valuable part of our wedding day!

    Fantastic!

    Reverend Gilberti was absolutely wonderful to work with from start to finish. She was extremely responsive and prompt throughout the entire experience. I told her numerous times that she made us feel like we were the only couple she was working with, which is so special. Thanks again!

    Inner Peace Ministries's reply:

    Dear Allie and Richard,
    Please know that the pleasure was all mine and you were a joy to work with! Wishing you all the love and happiness your hearts can hold! Fondly, Theresa

    Absolutely wonderful!!!! I just got married on 10/16/11 and there wasn't a single person keeping things organized and I was going insane. I was stuck up in my little room with no cell service and so scared that nothing was coming together downstairs. As soon as Theresa got there she took charge of the situation and got everyone into their places. She even made me feel a lot more calm...though I was still terrified of getting up in front of everyone. She was able to at least let me get back to my stage fright worrying and know that everything else was taken care of. She was very flexible, accommodating, reliable and prompt. I couldn't have dreamed of a better officiant!!!

    Thank you, Melissa--it was a joy to work with you and an honor to marry you and Nate!

    Rev Theresa was wonderful! My husband and I were so happy with her, she was very flexible and accommodating to any changes we wanted to the ceremony. She was also super responsive any time I emailed her which was greatly appreciated. She is a great speaker and really made our ceremony special. My guests kept complimenting us about her at the reception and they were even surprised to learn that she was someone we hired and not a personal friend, because she made our ceremony so personal and warm. Rev Theresa is a true professional and we were so happy to have the most important part of our wedding day taken care of by her.

    Theresa is amazing!

    I can’t even tell you how much I enjoyed working with Theresa. She’s awesome! When we met with her, she was super easy to talk to. She went over all the details for the day of our wedding. She also provided multiple sample wedding ceremonies to help us with choosing our vows. My guests thought she was a great choice and I’m very happy she was the one who married us :)

    Inner Peace Ministries's reply:

    Ashley, thank you so much for the incredible review! It was my pleasure to work with you and Christopher! Hope you are enjoying married life and I send my love and gratitude!

    Such a wonderful experience!

    Theresa was absolutely wonderful! Our ceremony could not have gone better. She walked us through the rehearsal twice so we felt fully prepared for everything that was going to happen the next day. She spoke our ceremony with ease and rarely had to look down at her notes!

    Inner Peace Ministries's reply:

    Alicia and Patrick, your "thank you" note is in the mail, so I won't repeat myself, but believe me--the pleasure was all mine! Loved your family sand ceremony and Collin was right--it was beautiful! Love and best wishes, always!

    Meaningful Ceremony

    Theresa gave us several templates to pick and choose from for a ceremony that was meaningful to us, and we received lots of compliments from guests of all backgrounds about our ceremony. Theresa is clearly experienced enough that she has readings memorized, but it really felt like she was talking with us and not simply reading what was on the page. We appreciated all of her advice and direction along the way and the copy of our ceremony that she gave us afterwards.

    Beautiful Ceremony Tailored Just How We Wanted It

    We chose Inner Peace Ministries for our wedding this past June and had the pleasure of working with Reverend Gilberti. She is a wonderful person! She was extremely accommodating and had a very calming presence. My husband and I were very hands on when designing the ceremony and she welcomed our ideas and made sure all of our requests were met. We cannot thank her enough for making sure our ceremony went smoothly and ensuring it was unique to us and not a "cookie cutter" experience. I highly recommend Reverend Gilberti!

    Inner Peace Ministries's reply:

    Stacey, I just LOVED working with you and Pete! You were fun, committed and just a joy to know! I wish you both all the love and happiness your hearts can hold!

    Guests raved about Theresa!!

    Theresa was absolutely wonderful from our first emails through to our ceremony. She allowed us to completely customize our ceremony, cutting and pasting from a few different ceremonies she offers. Our ceremony was completely "us" and we loved it!! Theresa was funny and delivered our ceremony flawlessly. She barely even looked down to read. She engaged our guests and was just wonderful! We received many compliments ranging from how she was quick to step aside so as not to be in all the pictures to her amazing delivery. She put everyone at ease, which was what we wanted! No stuffy ceremony here!! You will not be disappointed if you choose Theresa to officiate your ceremony!

    Inner Peace Ministries's reply:

    Dear Erin and Mark, please know that the pleasure was all mine! You were so easy to work with and a joy and pleasure to know. Your thank you note is in the mail, so I don't want to write to much, but thank you so much for this incredible review--I am so grateful!

    Theresa was exactly what we needed for our wedding. We were definitely at a loss for what to do about an officiant; PA has some odd rules and we wanted to be sure the ceremony was what we wanted without having to create it all from scratch. With the package we chose, we were able mix and match from a bunch of different templates and readings that she provided to create a ceremony we were 100% happy with. Our meetings with Theresa were straightforward and friendly, and she was always quick to respond to my emails and make us aware of her timeline. We were grateful that she came to run a rehearsal the night before, and she was friendly, clear, and direct with what everyone should do without taking too much time. She was engaging when speaking and felt very genuine, and was happy to bow out to let us enjoy the rest of our day when the ceremony was over. She has clearly done this before, and are glad we decided to just spend the money to have someone who could confidently guide us through the ceremony. We are very happy that Theresa was part of our day.

    Inner Peace Ministries's reply:

    Gail and Rich, it was truly my pleasure, and I am so grateful for your incredible feedback--greatly appreciated! Please know that you were wonderful to work with as well and I just enjoyed meeting your families and friends as well!

    Picking an officiant to marry us was something that we worried over for quite some time because we wanted to be certain that who we went with would be able to provide us a ceremony that was just as beautiful as it was simple and enlightening. We are thrilled to say that we found exactly that with Rev. Theresa. She has a beautiful collection of various ceremony readings and vows which allows you to build your very own that you as a couple can relate to. For both the rehearsal and the big day, Rev. Theresa was excellent, capturing the crowd and speaking with meaning. Our guests were so impressed with her, and we were asked how we found her (P.S., it was on Wedding Wire!) Rev. Theresa is very experienced and it especially shows when things don't go according to plan, such as it being rainy/windy which made it difficult to light candles, but she made an awkward situation turn right back around with a light-hearted joke. When I think back on the ceremony, I am filled with such joy and happiness that Rev. Theresa was there to guide us through to becoming a married couple. We HIGHLY recommend her to any couple who is looking for peace of mind when it comes to selecting a capable, gracious and welcoming wedding officiant.

    We got married at the Lodge at Liberty Forge in Mechanicsburg and got Theresa's card during the planning process from them. Theresa, from the get-go, was quick to respond to emails and questions. She has been a absolute pleasure to work with! She was helpful during the entire planning process, including the rehearsal. We were able to customize the template for our ceremony so that it really spoke to us. We've heard nothing but wonderful things regarding the ceremony and how lovely Theresa was from our guests! I think what we appreciate the most is that she wasn't just reading from the page, but speaking from memory and was able make it more interesting-not only for us but for the guests. She put alot of thought into every line and verse as she spoke and that showed! We really appreciate how special the ceremony was, it really did feel like it was tailored just for us. We will never forget it!

    Theresa also takes the time to review all that's involved getting your name changed as well, I feel less stressed about it for sure! I feel like she was exceptionally priced for all that she does, its a good deal- especially in the scheme of things. We are grateful to have found her and that she was a part of our special day! I highly recommend her for any kind of ceremony in which you need an officiant honestly-- wedding or not!

    Reverend Theresa is AMAZING!! My fiancé and I found her information online, and she could not have been a more perfect fit for our day! She provides you with multiple templates that you can use to customize your ceremony. Theresa met with us about a month prior to the wedding to meet us and make sure our ceremony was perfect for us, and our day was that and more. Our wedding guests complimented how great Reverend Theresa was as well! We loved Theresa and would definitely recommend her!

    Rev. Theresa was a dream to work with! We wanted a short simple civil ceremony and she delivered! She gave us multiple ceremonies to choose from and allowed us to mix and match whatever we wanted. She also gives all the information a bride would need to change your last name and obtaining your marriage license. She made the whole process a breeze. Everyone was raving about how great she was and that she had a great sense of humor throughout the ceremony as well. I would highly recommend her!

    Rev. Theresa was amazing. She made it so easy to pick/write a ceremony and everything went just as planned. She was very flexible and easy to work with, made great suggestions when writing the ceremony and ensured that it stayed true to who we are. We got tons of compliments on how nice our ceremony was. Can't say enough good things about her. She is super organized and professional. Price was very reasonable and she did everything just as planned. Thank you Theresa!

    Rev. Theresa Gilberti was our officiant and she did an incredible job! She was very quick to respond to any emails or questions, and she was able to help us create a ceremony that was unique to our family. Many guests commented on how wonderful of a ceremony it was, and much they liked Rev. Gilberti. She also helped us with the process of obtaining our marriage license and provided information on how to change my last name. She was fantastic!

    Reverend Theresa was fantastic! She was very reasonable priced in comparison to other wedding officiants. We wanted an officiant we felt comfortable with and Reverend Theresa was just that. She was wonderful to speak with and was great to work with via email. Her replies were always very quick and provided me with a lot of information. She gave me tons of ceremony templates to choose from to find one that fit our style and views. We did meet with her in person 1 time before the wedding as well. She was great at our rehearsal and put up with all of our questions and silliness. She was great the day of the wedding and made our ceremony smooth and flawless and we received a lot of compliments from our guests on how nicely it went. She was very sweet and I would definitely recommend her! Thank you again :)

    Reverend Theresa has been absolutely incredible. She's been so flexible and helpful during our time planning. She's offered us so many options so we can create the ceremony the means the most to us. Totally worth the work and she offers the most beautiful and introspective insight.

We were able to create a completely customized ceremony and it was exactly what we wanted. We received so many compliments on our ceremony and Reverend Theresa. She helped us make our ceremony perfect and unique. We had a very rowdy bridal party and she did a great job keeping everyone in line at the rehearsal. Would highly recommend!

    Rev. Theresa's expertise was paramount in making our day special and unique. She offers many different options, allowing us to create a completely customized ceremony. We received many compliments on our hand-fasting ceremony, the readings, and our vows (many people thought we wrote them ourselves, as they had never heard them before). Holding our somewhat rowdy crowd together for the rehearsal might have been a challenge, but she handled it seemingly effortlessly, keeping us all in line and on track. Theresa took extra care to ensure we understood the entire process of obtaining the license and the name changing procedure as well. She was absolutely wonderful to work with and we highly recommend her to anyone wishing for a beautiful, sincere, and heartfelt ceremony.

    Rev. Theresa Gilberti was absolutely wonderful to work with. Our rehearsal was fun and an absolute breeze, even with our very large wedding party. She recognizes that every family has different dynamics and works out a very detailed plan with you in private before the rehearsal to ensure that everything goes smoothly. She helped us create a ceremony unique to us as a couple. Our guests continue to rave about how beautiful our ceremony was, and it would not have been possible without Theresa's expertise.
