Testimonials
“From the moment we met Carolyn (albeit virtually), we knew we had found someone special to officiate our wedding day. We wanted our intimate ceremony to not just be heartfelt, but also true to who we are — and Carolyn was instrumental in realizing that.
Even though we were just tourists and had only less than a month to plan, she went above and beyond to help us with the practical aspects of the marriage process including the necessary paperwork and legalities. It was clear from the start that she wasn’t just our officiant — she was truly invested in our journey.
Beyond the logistics, Carolyn gave us the emotional support we needed, always taking the time to ask how we were doing and checking in on us. Her kindness and understanding gave us a sense of calm throughout what could have been a stressful process, and we will always be grateful for her empathetic approach.
When it came to crafting the ceremony itself, Carolyn’s words provided us with invaluable foundation. Despite her brevity, she was considerate enough to let us inject personal touches to make sure that the ceremony was as meaningful as possible to us.
Carolyn’s dedication to making our wedding day perfect — not just in a ceremonial sense, but in a deeply spiritual way — is something we will cherish forever. If you are looking for an officiant who is compassionate, supportive, and intentional about making your day special, we cannot recommend Carolyn enough.”
