    Adria helped us create the most memorable and beautiful ceremony that we will cherish for years to come!

    My husband and I just eloped in April of 2024 and could not have had a better experience! Adria was such an organized and thoughtful person! I cried every consultant call I had with Adria because she was just so thoughtful and got me so excited and emotional for our big day. When the big day came ... Adria was able to wrangle our small crew to the correct beach (after we arrived at the wrong outlet) and came prepared with our vows (as we had both forgotten them that day ~ it was Earth day and technology was not behaving... but it was so memorable and worth it.) It sounds like a disaster, but the wedding was so so so special to us. We had beautiful weather and Adria had a beautiful ceremony prepared for us. She really personalized it to our love story and it was really beautiful to listen to each others response to an individual couples' questionnaire that we had no idea the others response until the day. It was beautiful and I cannot recommend Adria enough. We had less than a month to plan our small elopement and Adria was so so helpful and really lifted elopement stress off our plate!

    A breath of fresh air!

    My husband and I hired Adria as our afficient, and we could not have chose anyone better! We live 5 hours away from the coast and planning a wedding is stressful itself, however, Adria was exactly what we needed!! She painted the perfect picture for our ceremony even with unprecedented mishaps along the way! She was understanding, comforting, perfessional and listened to all of our concerns and reassured us that everything would go as planned! She is so devoted to her clients and is detail oriented!!! I am a visual person, so Adria painting our ceremony picture with actual layouts of how our ceremony would look and take place, was exactly what I needed!!! She went above and beyond with any concern or questions I had and was there every step of the way!! Words cannot express how thankful we are to have found Adria and had her be part of our special day! She values her clients more than clients and although we met the day of our ceremony, I felt like we had known her for years, and that day she became part of our family!!

    Intimate and Wonderful!

    Carolyn did a fantastic job! She helped us prepare and think of everything. And, the sky cleared right before the ceremony by Haystack Rock. So beautiful!

    Perfection 💗

    Working with Carolyn to officiate our wedding was the best decision ever! From our first interaction via email, Carolyn impressed us with her professionalism, warmth, and kindness. She took the time to get to know us and our story and created a beautiful ceremony that we will never forget.

    We had lots of questions throughout the process and Carolyn was always on top of everything. She patiently talked through our concerns about which location on the coast would be most appropriate and helped us choose a stunning, private location in Arch Cape, OR.

    The ceremony that Carolyn created for us was beautifully written, personal, and meaningful. There were moments that made us laugh and moments that made us cry. We especially loved receiving a copy of our ceremony after we were married as a keepsake.

    Thank you, Carolyn, for making our wedding such a magical and memorable experience. We are so incredibly grateful! 💗

    Dream come true wedding

    We had a dream come true elopement wedding on the beach at Netarts Bay OR.
    Adria did a perfect job from planning what type of wedding we wanted, helpful suggestions for a beach wedding, a questionnaire that was the basis for our love story incorporated into the ceremony.
    Adria communicated as much as we needed, from the preliminary selection meeting, initial setting the tone meeting, questionnaires and reminders along the way, assistance/ideas as needed with vows, readings and ring ceremony, and final meeting before the ceremony. We lived hundreds of miles away and accomplished all of this via zoom meeting and emails.
    Last but not least, Adria is very sensitive to the type of wedding we desired and her background in drama management made the execution flawless. No detail too small, and her capturing our love story brought tears to both of our eyes! It is apparent that Adria views officiating as a labor of love calling.
    We highly recommend Adria for your once in a lifetime event.

    Carolyn was absolutely amazing!

    We couldn't be happier with our experience! We live in NY and Carolyn made the whole process seamless. She gave us a list of local vendors from photographers to florists. She was prompt with her responses. She gave helpful feedback when asked and was able to give us different choices for the ceremony style without it becoming overwhelming. I wanted to change a few things in my vows last minute and she was able to update and print them for me. Carolyn was patient, reliable, and kind. She provides information you'll need on obtaining your marriage license, name changes, and a few other state specific marriage documents. She also printed out a copy of the ceremony for us to keep. We would recommend Carolyn to all!

    Adria was amazing!

    We got married on August 12th in Rockaway Beach and Adria was our officiant. We wanted a small, special, familial ceremony and Adria gave us all of that and more. We were so blown away by how well she got to know us and could speak to our love story despite the fact that we came from out of town and only met her in person on the day of the wedding. Her ability to deeply understand us and reflect our love story left us in tears throughout the ceremony. Adria's exceptional service and her personal touch from start to finish impressed us immensely. She made the day so special and we would recommend her and Oregon Beach Ceremonies to anyone looking for an officiant that will make their ceremony special and memorable.

    Amazing Officiant!

    From start to finish, Carolyn was a breeze to work with. She made our out-of-state elopement easy to plan with her location expertise and vendor recommendations. Thanks to Carolyn, our ceremony was beautiful and unique to us.

    Oregon Beach Ceremonies's reply:

    Kayla and Mark, thank you so much for the lovely review and for choosing me as your Officiant! It was such a pleasure to work with you and your two sweet girls. The family binding ritual you did with them (filling a jar with tiny colored crystals) brought everyone to tears, it was so heartwarming to watch. I wish you an abundance of love and peace in your marriage and family!

    Such a sweet experience

    My partner found Adria and, after speaking with her, felt confident and she was a very easy choice amongst many options, to officiate our Arch Cape elopement. We had such a special, sweet, intimate day with six of our dearest friends (2 of them even got engaged) and we are so thankful for the role that Adria played in that for us. She interacted kindly and thoughtfully with each of them; her compassion and open-heartedness for all very obvious. She was patient, calming, easy to work with, accommodating, and flexible. It was incredibly important to us that our ceremony felt reflective of who we are as a couple, and Adria's thoughtful presence really facilitated that. The attention to detail, thoughtful questionnaires leading up to, and Adria's creative ability came together with our vision so nicely to create everything we could've hoped for for a day that will surely be one our favorites forever. I'm crying as I write this. Thanks so much, Adria. What a dream.

    Worth every penny!

    We originally thought we’d have a friend or family member officiate our elopement, but I am so glad we spent the money and went with Carolyn! It’s clear she puts time and effort into creating a custom ceremony. She was extremely organized and very responsive. She truly went above and beyond! 10/10! We had the perfect day!

    Oregon Beach Ceremonies's reply:

    Lauren, You are so sweet. Thank you so much for pointing out the benefits of hiring a professional officiant. There are so many little details and nuances that a family member or friend would most likely not know about, especially for a destination wedding or elopement. Wishing you both all the best for a life filled with love and happiness!

    The perfect officiant for our elopement

    Carolyn took the time to make a very personalized wedding ceremony and we couldn't be happier. Carolyn also gave us step-by-step instructions for the paperwork, organized the wedding ceremony, and did just an overall spectacular job.

    Oregon Beach Ceremonies's reply:

    Dear Kellen, Thank you so much for your review! I absolutely loved working with you both. I don't know how your ceremony could have been any better with the amazing vendors you chose and the gorgeous venue... and the weather was perfect! The only thing that tops all of those wonderful aspects of your wedding was the LOVE between you and Lauren. The two of you are so beautiful together. Wishing you many blessings and joy in your marriage!

    Carolyn is simply the best!

    I truly believe our day would not have been as intimate and special if we would have worked with a different officiant. She captured our love story perfectly, wrote an amazing ceremony, and helped us with every step of the process along the way.
    Carolyn is also an LGBTQ ally which was extremely important to my wife and I.
    Thank you Carolyn for making our day so special!

    We had such an amazing experience with Carolyn! She took all the stress out of planning the ceremony and made it very efficient and easy! I ended up needing to change our wedding date at the last minute and she was so flexible! My husband and I both feel very fortunate to have had her as a part of our special day:)

    The best experience we’ve ever had!

    Nic and I have nothing but nice things to say about Carolyn. She was very polite, professional and responsive through out the entire process. From the initial consult, up until the night before the wedding she was involved and there to help. Even through personal matters Carolyn was always there for us. She was very transparent and let us know what was going on. We appreciate her so much for making the best day that much better! Our ceremony was beautiful, us and both our families were very impressed and loved the whole thing. If your looking for a amazing officiant to share a special day with you, we highly recommend Carolyn with Oregon Beach Ceremonies. ❤️

    Lovely Officiant

    I only have positive things to note about Carolyn! Not only did she create a beautiful and curated ceremony for my husband and I, but she was incredibly helpful during our first time in the PNW. Carolyn was very thorough about getting to know each of us and our love story - she went above and beyond when it came to performing our ceremony. She has such a warmth about her and we feel very fortunate to have found her to marry us. Thank you Carolyn!!

    Oregon Beach Ceremonies's reply:

    Awwww thank you Mary & Cody! It was such a beautiful celebration with your sweet families. I absolutely loved working with you both to create a ceremony that celebrated your love story! ❤️

    Best Wedding Officiant on the Oregon Coast

    My ceremony was perfect because of Carolyn! I highly recommend her! I loved all of the recommendations and information that she provided in the months leading up to our wedding. Her experience was extremely valuable to us since we lived out of state. We had voiced our concerns about focusing more on our journey and not too much on how we met. We wanted a sand ceremony that involved the kids. Last minute we thought one of our kids might not participate in the sand ceremony but Carolyn had a backup plan in place. She exceeded our expectations and hit it out of the park. Everyone was laughing and lots of happy tears. It was a perfect ceremony and by far my favorite part of the day. Thank you so much Carolyn!

    Oregon Beach Ceremonies's reply:

    Dear Krista and Andrew, Thank you so much for the wonderful review. It was such a pleasure to be your Officiant and to help make your ceremony vision come true! It was a beautiful ceremony with friends and family, a sand ceremony with your children, and beach ball toss send off! Wishing you so much love and happiness in the years to come!!

    Thoughtful & intimate wedding officiant

    We worked with Carolyn who officiated our small wedding ceremony at Short Sands in April of 2022. Carolyn's process is so thoughtful and thorough that, by the time the wedding comes, you feel like close friends and it really feels like she is part of the family marrying you. She really puts in so much effort to get to know you as a couple and speak specifically to your love story. A majority of our guests were crying and mentioned how beautiful her words were. She is an incredible and generous person and we're so glad she was part of this moment. Thank you, Carolyn, for making the day SO special.

    We loved working with Carolyn for our elopement on the Oregon coast. She was quick to communicate with us, even at the last minute when we were still figuring out where exactly our ceremony location would be. Anyone would be lucky to have Carolyn officiate their ceremony.

    Amazing Oregon Beach Wedding

    Carolyn, was such a great officiant for our beach wedding. All we had in mind for our ceremony was where on the beach we wanted to do it. She helped us get our ceremony all planned out and gave us some great suggestions on pieces we could use to make it special. It turned into an amazing day that we will always remember.

    Thanks Carolyn!!

    Oregon Beach Ceremonies's reply:

    Dorothy and Max had the most amazing ideas for their ceremony (including traditional Japanese shinto elements). I was able to do some research and help them pull it all together! It was such a personal and meaningful ceremony and I was honored to play a part! Congratulations Dorothy and Max!! :)

    Meaningful, professional, and poised

    Carolyn was fantastic. She officiated our elopement with ease and grace and helped us out tremendously with putting this all together during Covid. A perfect combination of presence when you need her, wisdom when you're confused, and attention to detail that will help make your day special.

    Oregon Beach Ceremonies's reply:

    Thank you Luke! It was so great working with you and Nicole to create your customized elopement ceremony. What a perfect day it was! All the best to you both for a beautiful life together!
