We were beyond thrilled with the way the ceremony turned out. We have gotten unsolicited comments from many people raving about it – which is great to hear, given that it’s such an essential but mostly overlooked part of the day. We loved the way the ceremony set the mood for the rest of the day, and how it was exactly what we hoped it would be – a little more relaxed, free flowing, but, at the same time, it recognized the importance of the event. . . Thank you for making our wedding so special and completely in line with our personalities and desires for the ceremony. Some of my favorite moments of the day are from the ceremony and you had such an integral role in making that happen.
Stephanie and Tomasso
Thank you for creating such a beautiful ceremony for us. We felt so comfortable. You are truly a remarkable person. There are not many people who “get us.” To find someone on the internet no less was obviously meant to be. After all that’s how we met each other.
Erin and Ken
We had absolutely wonderful celebration and I have to tell you – every single person that I spoke to made a point of saying that that was the most beautiful, thoughtful, well-done ceremony they had ever seen. Two of my closest friends, both of whom have been married for many, many years, said that after hearing what you wrote, they feel as if their marriages will be stronger. So thank you for kicking off our perfect evening with the perfect ceremony.
Brooke and Eddie
Thank you so much for the eloquence and meaning you brought to our amazing wedding ceremony. Our friends and family were greatly moved and many people commented to me personally that it was one of the most meaningful and beautiful wedding ceremonies they had ever witnessed. I give all thanks to you for writing and delivering such a lovely ceremony.
Matthew and Cynthia
Thank you again for being such an important part of our wedding. We were thrilled with the ceremony . . . every detail was perfect . . . and I can’t tell you how many people complimented it that night and in the days following. People were really moved and impressed.
Rebecca and Nick
We wanted to tell you how much we loved what you did with the ceremony. We really felt you captured “us” with it. It was so special to have something custom tailored that really spoke to us with elements of who we are individually and as a couple. From the mentioning of our dogs to talking about our first kiss, it was perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better ceremony. In addition we wanted to thank you for being so easy to work with. People always seem to have horror stories of this or that not going as planned at their weddings, but from our perspective, the night was perfect. That was because of people like you … We really appreciate you helping make the event so easy on us.
John and Antoinette
We couldn’t have been happier the ceremony, and are grateful for the way you handled the entire process — from our first interview to the actual event — so thoughtfully and thoroughly. We ended up with exactly the kind of ceremony we’d envisioned, but we were also touched and surprised by the power of your delivery. Our guests loved it, too: Afterward, a few of them asked if you were a longtime friend. Thanks for helping make our wedding truly memorable for everybody involved.
Sara and Mark
Thank you so much. The wedding was perfect. We loved the ceremony you wrote and so did our guests, who piled on compliments about it and you.
Christa and Michael
Thank you so much for making our day so special. My mom still can’t speak of our ceremony without crying (in a good way). We feel so lucky to have found you and we’re so grateful to have been given such a personal and meaningful ceremony to mark this new beginning for us. . . . You have a real talent and gift. . . . As for being part of our ceremony, the honor was all ours. We feel so thankful to have been given a ceremony that we will cherish for our entire lives.
Julie and Rich
We just had to tell you though how incredibly pleased we were with the ceremony and everything that you put into it. So many friends and family members remarked on what a lovely ceremony it was, the story you told, the affection in your voice, and the manner in which you spoke to our guests. We couldn’t have asked for a more gracious and warm person to welcome everyone into our lives. I knew that many of our friends would enjoy it, as this type of ceremony has become much more common, but I really wanted the older generations to enjoy it as well. And they did!! My aunts, my father, and lastly, my mother (which I was really hoping for) loved it and gushed about the entire thing. So, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We loved every second of it.
Anna and Pravin
We´re back in Sweden again after a few more wonderful days in NY. The wedding ceremony was the best we could ever dream of, nothing could have been better. Thank you for doing this for us, we are so happy and grateful! All our friends and family were also very impressed with the ceremony and all the work and effort that you have put into this. They all send their warmest regards to you.
Cia and Hakan
Joanna, you were a joy to have as our officiant. You truly got to know us as a couple and as individuals and created the perfect ceremony for us. You were cheerful, easy to work with and extremely attentive to our needs. We are still getting compliments on how beautiful the ceremony was.
Sarah and Eric
Thank you so much, Joanna, for the beautiful ceremony on Sunday! Everyone enjoyed it very much and all our families and friends really enjoyed the stories you told. I received a lot of compliments on the ceremony and how it was structured and we just wanted to thank you again for helping us create a ceremony that was “us” and at the same time included our close family.
Miyuki and Marc
I know I speak for the both of us when I say how happy we were with the whole ceremony. Somehow it did feel like you were more of a friend. Your wording was sensitive and funny. We can’t thank you enough.
Donielle and Riel
It’s odd how expectations fly in from all directions when you start in on planning a wedding . . . with our wedding months away, all of a sudden, it became important, to some people, that we get married in a church. Well, we did not. We had a beautiful ceremony in Central Park. The birds chirped, families picnicked, and both of our mothers teared up as you weaved our story, into a beautiful and personal ceremony. After the vows were spoken and rings exchanged, a member of the wedding, a woman who was that day celebrating her own 45th anniversary, grabbed me to tell me how perfect the tone of the ceremony was, how much it sounded like us, how possible it was to live by the guidelines that were set, and how accurate the sentiments were. Joanna, you did all this, and neither my wife nor I have had to field questions about not having a church wedding since.
Kristin and Roy
We both thank you so much for working with us… The ceremony, as described by our guests, was the nicest, most unique, touching, heartfelt, intimate one they have witnessed. Those are just a few of the statements I heard. It was a wonderful day and we are happy we chose you.
Zena and Jose
I wanted to tell you what a lovely wedding ceremony you performed for my daughter and now son-in-law. It was so personal and charming and inclusive of both of their heritages. You really did a wonderful job of describing them – it felt like a true celebration of their marriage. Absolutely perfect! They were lucky to have found you.
A Mother of the Bride
We just want to thank you again for the beautiful ceremony! We both got so many compliments on just how touching and personal it was.
Laura and Kevin
Thanks again for putting together such a fantastic ceremony – we absolutely loved it. And many of our guests have told us how much they enjoyed and were moved by it.
Kathleya and Ian
Enjoy the summer and thank you for everything. We were so happy with everything you did with our wedding. Everyone had so many good things to say about you.
