    JD hosted a beautiful and very special service our short intimate outdoor wedding ceremony. He held space for our otherworldly connection and officiated our union with special care for setting a sacred intention with elegance, philosophy and humor. He kept us all smiling, loving and laughing the whole time. JD's service was prophetic, philosophical and encouraged guest participation in such delightful ways that kept everybody involved and active members of our ceremony. As our relationship grows we will undoubtedly call him back whenever we feel called to hold another ceremony in the future.

    Alyssa did amazing work for our wedding in Yucca Valley. I initially selected her because I liked…read moreher previous work on a floral arch, but she nailed it on everything else too! The bud vases were so sweet and romantic but also affordable. My sister commented they looked vintage chic. I would definitely recommend bud vases instead of traditional floral centerpieces if you aren't looking to spend all of your budget on florals. Alyssa can really make them look beautiful. If you are looking for high quality florals at an accessible price point in the high desert, work with Desert Rose Creative!

    Alyssa is nice and if you need flowers, by all means hire her. But if looking for a full or day-of…read morewedding/party planner, please stay away. I think she is just trying to get that part of her business up and running, but she should definitely stay in her lane. So much went wrong, so here goes. Her budget was way off. She did not return calls in a timely manner until it was brought to her attention. Not a big deal? Ah, sadly, there's more. We found out day before the wedding that her computerized version of seating arrangements was "just an approximation." So seating was way off from how we had imagined and we had to make last minute adjustments. She does not know how to run a rehearsal and announced to all that she had never seen a wedding like ours before! (The men walking to the front while bridesmaids walked down alone). This was followed by her lining up all backwards and everyone was trying to tell her it was wrong. So much confusion that the pastor finally took over saying, "Friends, I'm now running this rehearsal." She should've been embarrassed, but she wasn't. The day of the wedding she asked me how to display the table menus - one for each table. I had previously asked her how many frames to bring and she told me. I brought extra, but it wasn't enough. No problem, she said, we can just put the ones without frames up against the centerpieces. How tacky! As guests began to arrive, a friend asked where she could put her wedding gift. When I asked Alyssa, she said that "no one brings gifts to weddings anymore," so there wasn't a place for them. The wedding was to have bubbles on each seat. Not on mine, and I'm the MOB! Didn't get to blow bubbles for my daughter. And others felt the same way. What part of "every seat " is hard to understand? At the reception, wine was to be self-serve on the table and would then be replenished as needed. When I noticed some friends had no wine, her lame excuse was that she thought it would be nice to serve our guests. But those glasses were empty!! There's more but you get the picture. Along the planning way, when asked for lists of what she should be doing and when, her response was that we had no need to worry because it was all in her head. But it clearly was not. We paid a lot for her services. Almost $6000, not including flowers. The day ended up beautiful but because we had to work around her. Such a disappointment. The most disappointing things is when I reached out to her to discuss all of this after the wedding, she took absolutely no responsibility for anything. She actually thinks she did a great job. I'm here to tell you she did not.

    I have so much good things to say about The Vow Keeper & our experience…read more My husband found Charlotte to marry us, when we decided a week before our anniversary to elope. They made the entire process comfortable, seamless, fun and very memorable. The ceremony was incredibly meaningful to us. Charlotte conducted the ceremony with so much love and good energy. Larry, her husband/photographer, and Charlotte both took pictures and we really loved how well they captured our elopement and time together. We also unexpectedly received a beautiful and sentimental gift after the ceremony. We feel incredibly blessed and lucky to have found an amazing person to marry us and be a part of our journey/story. They helped foster and create some of the most cherished memories of our lives. Thank you so much Charlotte & Larry for our elopement!

My…read morehusband and I were planning a small ceremony in Joshua Tree, and since I was 8 months pregnant and working with a tight timeline, we needed someone highly organized and flexible. Charlotte delivered and exceeded every expectation. We chose the Earth Based Crystal Ceremony, and her commitment to customizing every single detail, from incorporating our unique love story and faith journey, to honoring our parents and seamlessly blending our children made the entire ceremony feel incredibly deep and personal. She took time and care to get the tone exactly right, ensuring it was sincere, tear-jerking, and perfectly focused on our spiritual foundation. She handled all the filing quickly and was a calming, professional presence on the day. If you are looking for an officiant who is organized, compassionate, and can create a truly custom, unforgettable ceremony that speaks directly to your heart, look no further than Charlotte! Highly, highly recommend!

Humor, love, seriousness, professional... all of it! They executed our love story flawlessly and accurately based on the meeting together and our questionnaire. I honestly loved everything about them and their whole vibe. It 100% matched us and our wedding. And to top it off, They took the paperwork and completed the final step of sending it all in! Another thing, we DIDN'T have to worry about on our wedding night. Thank you so much Jaryn and Woodrow with the love builders. They were amazing!

Not only did they officiate our wedding, but we also did premarital counseling with them leading up to our special day. Counseling was an amazing experience to have together as a couple and helped us understand one another better. The ceremony script they crafted was absolutely beautiful, heartwarming and even had a touch of humor which we loved! Our guests gushed about the ceremony and loved every single second of it. We received so many compliments on the ceremony, I lost count! The process from beginning to end was so smooth and we trusted Jaryn & Woodrow every step of the way and they exceeded our expectations. We can't recommend their services enough! They are also so sweet and wonderful people to work with

    My wife and I became Le Haut alumni on the chilly night of May 18, 2019. Outside the weather…read moreplaying a little nicer, I couldn't in my wildest dreams imagine having picked a better wedding venue. In my opinion, weddings are inherently one of the most capitalistic and borderline exploitative examples of soliciting real emotion for even more dollars. When everything comes at a premium because you attach marriage to it (cake cutting, flowers, catering, etc), you begin to have real fear for how the most expensive component of the whole thing, the venue - will play out financially and emotionally. Liz and Eric are people who are welcoming you into their home, not someone making a quick buck off providing you 4 walls to throw a party in. We instantly felt so incredibly comfortable with them, that we lingered around for a couple hours the next day and talked about the upcoming Game of Thrones series finale. Name a wedding venue where you're going to do that? Julia - the wedding planner is the perfect combination of straight-talking, to the point, hyper focused, but still inherently warm and lovely that you want for your planner. She doesn't waste your time, but she doesn't make you feel rushed or under stress whatsoever. This venue is not for the faint of heart, however. If being a little chilly, seeing a bug or critter or two can completely ruin your night, I'm not entirely sure why you chose a remote desert wedding in the first place (oh wait, probably for instagram). The desert is a rough, unforgiving, but ultimately rewarding place. If you write a 1 star review for seeing bugs in a remote desert locale, you have bigger issues than this venue. Our wedding went off without a single, solitary logistical hitch. The venue was by far the most beautiful venue I've ever attended a wedding at. The owners were the most laid-back friendly, couple I could've worked with. I never dreamed of having a wedding go so perfectly. I'd give you 6 stars if I could.

    This was an awesome place to get married. Both the venue manager, as well as the property owner…read morewere both very kind, helpful and relaxed. A big part of the reason we chose the venue, aside from its beauty, was that we could do whatever we wanted, which allowed for total creative control, as well as allowed us to be as spendy or frugal as we needed. We stayed on site for three days enjoying the property, which was really relaxing to myself, the bride, ok the day leading up to and the day of my wedding. The venue itself gives off an incredible energy and the sunsets (around cocktail hour), as well as the star lit sky at dinner was magical.

We were pleasantly surprised by her thoughtful questions and loved her emphasis on learning how we wanted to feel on our wedding day and how we wanted our guests to feel. For her, our ceremony was such more than writing a script or signing a marriage license. She was one of our guides toward the moment where we committed to a future together. In the end, Celene drew out of us all the answers she needed -- and her final effort was exactly what we envisioned, the perfect tone and celebration of our marriage.

Her level of attention to detail is unmatched, and it showed on our wedding day. My husband and I were shocked at how similar our vows connected with her words! We were stunned at how perfectly she was about to reiterate the story of us. We had an unplugged ceremony, and Celene's talents shined through, incredibly! We got SEVERAL compliments about her, and although I've never been married before, I assume this is rare! I've never been to a wedding where I remembered much of what an officiant said, so there is definitely something special about Celene. We can't thank her enough, but more importantly cannot recommend her enough to any brides and/or grooms to be. If you are looking for a flawless ceremony that holds meaning, select Celene. Would LOVE to have her for our 10 year vow renewal!!!
