Heartfelt ceremony

We are so happy that we chose Caroline to perform our wedding this past weekend! Caroline took the time to get to know us as a couple, understanding our story and what was most important to us. Caroline was able to make a loving and light-hearted story from the details we told her. Our guests were moved to tears but also laughing at some points. Her attention to detail made our ceremony flow smoothly. Our guests are all still raving about Caroline's ceremony!

Thank you Caroline!

Thank you Caroline! Reading through the reviews on here, I knew we would be in good hands. I initially reached out to other officiants but once I read through these reviews, I went with my gut and reached out to her for our backyard ceremony. From the first time speaking with her, we were put at ease and she has helped us through the whole process step by step in crafting a personalized ceremony for our intimate backyard wedding. She was kind, thoughtful, communicative, and created a lighthearted loving ceremony for my partner David and I. She asked us thoughtful questions and really honed in on the details to create a personalized Love Story incorporating our moments through our eight years together! I felt at ease before the ceremony, where she guided us through a walk through with our processional party, and guided each of our readers through the process. We were able to stay focused and relaxed throughout the ceremony, and she incorporated a Handfasting which was so special for us. She really made our ceremony lighthearted, full of love and laughter, and truly made it a great process for us. Our guests were complimenting us after how it was a beautiful ceremony and we can’t thank Caroline enough! - Amanda & David

Better than I ever imagined

Caroline was an absolute delight. She was so professional throughout the whole process, from our first contact through until after our big day. We met with other officiant options, and Caroline was far and away the best candidate we spoke with. She immediately put us at ease with her confidence in how to manage all the details, and was reasonably priced to boot!
Our ceremony was the most special 30 minutes of our day (lives?) In my opinion, that is as it should be, but Caroline truly knocked everyone's socks off. She worked beautifully with the crowd, her words were beautiful and tender. She got the pronunciations of each and every name perfectly, she stepped away for our first kiss without us having talked about that so photos were just us. Talking with her in the lead-up to the day was a welcomed part of wedding planning, because it allowed my husband and I to focus on our relationship instead of all of the details. Caroline also handled the venue's maitre'd very well when he got a little flustered by a miscommunication (which was totally a venue issue, nothing to do with Caroline). I had complete faith in Caroline's ability to advocate for what we wanted in the ceremony, and communicate it effectively with anyone who had questions.
Caroline will make your ceremony SO memorable, meaningful, and special. She is a delight to work with, takes care of every detail you can imagine, and some that aren't even on your radar.
Hire Caroline. Your guests will talk about your ceremony for a long time to come, and you'll have the most beautiful memories to last a lifetime!
