Hearing your stories and sharing your wedding adventure is such a joyful gift for me. Below are some of your comments and thanks.

“Thank you Cindy. We had such a wonderful time and couldn’t have asked for a better person to marry us.” —Karin and Justin

“Dear Cindy, how do we ever thank you for all you did to make our celebration so magical? All we keep hearing from friends is how intimate and beautiful our ceremony was, and for this we have you to thank. You are wonderful.” —Deirdre & Gillian and son William

“Cindy, you did a *fabulous* job. We were both thrilled with the ceremony and I got many comments that it was beautiful. I felt it really reflected us and was really meaningful in a way that was important to us. So far I’ve seen some of the pictures and it is so exciting. We were so pleased. Take good care. ” —Sarah and Anis

“Cindy, you are awesome! I can't believe the ceremony we came up with. It is still resonating in my heart six weeks later. For years, I couldn't figure out why we were to get married in the public eye when we already had made our commitment known to each other. With your guidance and 'permission' to think about it in a meaningful way, it was a truly momentous occasion. Not only for us but, as our intention, for our family and friends. Many have let us know it was the best wedding they have been to and thanked us. I feel it was a gift to our community and especially for my immediate family. We wanted to paint a picture of the depth of our relationship. You painted a picture of our relationship and intent with words and ceremony. Perhaps it is your calm and joyous demeanor which made the ceremony so organic. You just gave us the space to do what we needed to do. I wished I had spent the time at our wedding to thank you in person. But, as you intended, I was focused on the moment, on my husband and on my family, after we kissed for the first time—thank you.” —Claudine

“Dear Cindy, I don't think Shawn and I could even begin to thank you enough. From your calm demeanor at the rehearsal, to the fun we had at the ceremony—you did it all! We had so much FUN, and people have not stopped complimenting the ceremony. I wouldn't change anything. Thank you for all your time and energy. There really can't be anything better than starting a marriage with the perfect (for us!) ceremony! Thanks again, ” —Elizabeth and Shawn

“Words can’t begin to describe the memories you brought to our special day. Your voice, your demeanor, and most importantly, the special words and blessings you chose for us brought forth a day of peace and love, not just for us, but also amongst our guests. Our day was filled with visions of joy and beauty which will never be forgotten. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”—Tami and Joelle

“Thanks again for a wonderful, lovely wedding ceremony that was exactly what we had hoped for.”—Kerri

“Dear Cindy, Thanks so much for helping to make Krysten and Dave's wedding so unique and memorable. Your help and support through the planning and actual event was superb, and deeply appreciated.”—Ed and Lynda (parents of the bride)

“Thank you! The ceremony was just right, and we received many compliments about it (people actually referred to it as “the best ceremony I’ve ever been to”!) So, thanks again for helping to make it such a special day.”—Dan and Sandy

“Hi Cindy! We can't thank you enough for all that you did! Our day wouldn’t have been as wonderful if you hadn't been a part of it. We were so happy and grateful for your participation. You helped us make the ceremony very special and were so helpful in getting us organized and making us feel calm and just able to enjoy it!” —Aaron and Melissa

“It is amazing to have the legal protections of marriage... As (our daughter) said, 'Now our family is safe...' Thank you again for such a beautiful wedding. As we have said before, it really would not have been half of what it was without you. You transformed our wedding and made it incredibly memorable, personal and a beautiful ceremony.”—A & C

“What a wonderful stroke of good fortune that Jacques and Amanda found you to officiate at their wedding. My friends and relatives have talked about the beautiful and meaningful ceremony many times since last Saturday. The efforts you made to get to know Jacques and Amanda were truly appreciated, not only by them, but by all in attendance. You provided me with enough memories to last a lifetime.” —Paul (father of a groom)

“We thought your service was wonderfully performed and riveted everyone’s attention. Thanks for making our daughter’s wedding memorable.” —Bill and Joyce (parents of the bride)

“Hi Cindy, I cannot leave for our honeymoon without a quick thank you for the beautiful ceremony. Everyone loved it. Everyone loved you. You were a calming influence prior to the ceremony and more importantly during the ceremony. Thank you for letting us be such a big part of the planning. The ceremony truly reflected our thoughts and beliefs. Even those older relatives with strong religious beliefs told us this ceremony was beautiful. We will certainly always remember our ceremony with fondness. With love,”—Joan and Neil

“That was the best ceremony I have ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot of them!”—couple’s DJ

“That ceremony was so incredibly beautiful. It made me cry, and I never cry at weddings anymore. I’ll have to keep you in mind for my daughters. Really impressive.”—ceremony musician

“We had a great time (on our honeymoon) in addition to the wonderful day you helped create for us. We are very pleased with the way the day went and received many positive comments about the thoughtful ceremony. Thank you.” —Blake and Jo

“Cindy, thanks for your warmth, sense of humor and incredible effort to make our ceremony our own. Cheers! ”—Theresa and Mike

“We mention your services to people all the time... we’re so proud that you married us.”—Adriana

“Hi Cindy! Thanks. We are enjoying married life! It is nice to have a full-time life partner. The ceremony meant so much to us and many of our friends and family commented on how touching and personal it was—thank you! We really enjoyed working with you and hope to work with you again in the future. We will be in touch soon. Take care.”—Lori and Steve

“Hi Cindy, I just wanted to check in and say thank you for the great first draft of the ceremony! I got all choked up just reading it! :) I hope you're doing well! Warmly, ”—Paula

“Thanks for meeting with us today. To quote Paula, “What would we do without Cindy?” —Waleed

“Hi Cindy, Clark and I LOVE this version (of the ceremony)! We love all the details that you have added and the fluidity of it all. I was getting teary reading it—it really is so special!”—Annie

“Cindy, I love the changes you made. Everything looks great! Thank you.”—J

“Hello Cindy! Let me start off by saying WOW!!! Jeremiah and I were absolutely floored by your first draft. It took me three different times to read through the entire draft. I called my mom after the first time and told her I couldn't get past the first few paragraphs without tears, what am I going to do during the actual ceremony??? You truly are amazing and extremely talented at what you do. We are honored that you accepted to perform our ceremony.”—Tennille

“Brian and I sat down on the couch with the book you suggested to us. Together, we read through it and we knew we had found our vows when we both stopped reading because we were crying. For the first time in months we had a long conversation about why we had decided to get married and what we meant to each other. I just wanted to let you know that it was exactly what we had been looking for but didn’t know how to find.”— Corinn

“The day went so well, and you did such an amazing job. Everyone said it was the most special ceremony. Thanks for all your help.” —Krys & Nat

“You engaged yourself soulfully in our celebration and helped us feel that not only would our wedding day be beautiful, but also that our marriage would be blissful. Thank you so much for your spirit!”— Molly

Dear Cindy,
We are so lucky to have found your services as a Celebrant to officiate our wedding, and your cheerful and pleasant personality made our experience with you a joy. You did an excellent job customizing our vows to include appreciation for our different backgrounds and the topics that were most important for us as a couple. Our guests were very moved by the words and content of the ceremony; it is now months later and guests are still talking about how much they loved it. The ceremony is what we wanted people to remember most of all. Thanks for listening to our needs—you are a gem, Cindy! Because of you we were able to have the type of meaningful ceremony we wanted. Sincerely,” — Erin and Erdem
