"We appreciate and applaud your flawless performance of our wedding ceremony.  The verses were clear, compelling, and conveyed with dignity, caring and respect.  Your commanding voice, yet calm and caring presence made for a memorable ceremony.  Thank you for your time, patience, and professionalism.  Take care and God bless."      Ed & Rose

"Thank you so much for making our wedding day more special than we could've imagined.  You were excellent.  Thank you so much for performing our ceremony on such a hectic day, New Years Eve. Your words were so delicate and peaceful. You’re a wonderful speaker. I was so nervous that morning and when I walked down that aisle and I saw my husband and heard your words I felt all the nervousness slip away, a feeling of peace came over me.  We appreciate how professional both you and your wife were throughout all of this. I felt so at ease with you both.  Thank you so much for being there and for your kind words. I am recommending you first for anyone I know that is getting married. God bless you both."  Antoine & Kirstin

"Thank you for an incredible ceremony - it was everything we had dreamed of.
Mr. Winn - your presentation was flawless! Mrs Winn - you transformed potential chaos into comfort and beauty! We will always remember you both. In gratitude,"   Matt & Chelsea

"I can't tell you how thrilled we are with the ceremony you presented for us.  The readings you provided for us to choose from gave us the perfect opportunity to 'build' our very personal ceremony.  Best of all, was the delivery.  We both felt as though our wedding was as important to you as it was to us.  Several people came up to me during the reception to tell me how moved they were by the ceremony.  It was the perfect blend of readings that were sentimental, spiritual, uplifting... etc!  We loved it.  Thank you so much!"    Sarah & Sam

"First let me start by saying the ceremony was better then I expected!!!! It was one thing to read the ceremony off of paper, but to hear Meredith speaking those words was so special and just truly amazing!!! It was so much more meaningful to chose how we wanted everything to flow! It is not just Andréa and I..... but it is everyone at the ceremony that keeps commenting on how beautiful the words were and what a GREAT SPEAKER you were......I dont think anyone else could have done it better!!! Not to mention....your Italian was PERFECTION and if Andréa says it .....that says a LOT!!!  What a special touch to have some of the ceremony in Italian as well....you were so great and your willingness to go the extra mile is so appreciated!! Andréa's mom and dad truly loved it!!! It has made a lasting impression that they will cherish forever, as well as us!!!  Oh yes...I almost forgot...the rose ceremony honoring our mothers.....they were so surprised and so HAPPY that we honored them in such a way....what a great touch! Both of our moms are freeze-drying their flowers as memory of that recognition - they were touched! We just want to thank you again for making our day so magical and special!!!  Marilyn- we would like to thank you as well for making things so organized and playing such an important role in the flow of the rehearsal, pre-ceremony, and ceremony. My mom commented on how sweet it was that you pinned her corsage for her. It was so stress-free to know that things were in great hands.  THANKS! You guys make a great husband/wife duo....I will highly recommend both of you!!!"     
Cheryl & Andréa     

"We cannot thank you enough for helping us with our wedding ceremony... we are still getting calls and e-mails about how unique it was, and the great job you both did to orchestrate and deliver it. We loved it, and are very grateful to you both for all your help."  Sheila & Kevin
 
"We wanted to take a moment to write and thank you so much for making our wedding a perfect day.  Not only did we find the ceremony to be appropriate and fitting, many of our friends and family have commented on how wonderful the wedding was.  They loved what was said during the ceremony and how personal and down to earth it was.  We have you both to thank for that.  For most weddings, the bride and groom aren't given many choices related to the ceremony.  By allowing us to personalize the ceremony to fit us, it made it mean so much more to us and to our family and friends.  Thanks for making our special day even more special"  Susan & Tyler
 

"Thank you both so much for helping make our wedding perfect & beautiful & run so smooth!  It was more than I could have ever wished for!  We have gotten so many compliments on how beautiful the ceremony was!  I have & will continue to recommend you to everyone!  You are wonderful, thank you for your kindness.  We will never forget you."  Linda & Pete

 

"We have read over your booklet and are very impressed by your wide selection of creative and soulful words.  We really could not imagine a better person to perform this ceremony.  At first we did not know what to expect and were very afraid that in choosing an officiant, we would be judged and asked personal questions.  Thank you for putting us at ease and explaining the entire ceremony."

  Jessica & Tommy

"Thank you so much.  We had a wonderful day and many, many people commented on the beautiful words and what a good public speaker you were.  I treasure that we hand-picked our ceremony and got to pick words that meant a lot to us.  Again, thanks for making our ceremony special."   Beth and Greg
