She was very friendly, knowledgable, and willing to work around my schedule to talk via phone, email , Skype or in person. I procrastinated on picking out the ceremony music and she was very helpful in sending me a list of common choices for various parts of the ceremony. She has many traditional and more modern songs. She can also learn a new one for you if the sheet music is available. Our guests were taken away to another place when they heard her play during our ceremony. We received many compliments on her and it was the last piece that made our ceremony and cocktail hour very romantic and intimate. You will be very pleased if you hire Esther, the Elegant Harp.

She also helped us remain calm and present during the ceremony, when we were both full of nerves and excitement!

Alice Soloway is an incredible person and a fantastic officiant. During our first meeting with her,…read morewe knew she was the right person to officiate our wedding. Her sincerity, tranquility, and level of organization really helped to ease away any wedding planning anxiety. Over the course of a year, we had several check-ins with her via video chat which were really helpful and grounding. How she puts together a wedding ceremony was also so impressive and seamlessly blended both my and my wife's responses to her questions. Her questionnaire was so thoughtful and deep and it allowed us to reflect on aspects of our lives, families, friends, values, and goals. She took our responses and wove an incredible narrative about us as a couple and we truly could not have asked for anything else. A number of guests approached us after the wedding ceremony and told us "That was the best wedding officiant I've ever seen!" We couldn't agree more. From start of finish, Alice was there for us if we had any questions about the process. She is such a professional, but she is also just a lovely, lovely person. We will never forget our time working with her, and we will never be able to thank her enough for marrying us. We love her and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant!

My friends and family were raving about Norma and how lovely she was afterwards. Her happiness and love for love is so strong it makes you at ease on the big day. I highly recommend as an officiant for wedding ceremonies or big life moments!

She developed a ceremony that is better than anything we could have imagined and checked all the boxes of topics/details we wanted to include in a really beautiful and cohesive way. She takes the stress and work out of having to file your actual marriage license since this is something she will take care of post-ceremony. Her husband, Harvey, also accompanied her and passed out bubbles and programs to our guests which was so unbelievably sweet and generous. We were very happy with the value we received, the communication throughout our entire planning process, and the professionalism across the board. If you're looking for an officiant in the Hudson Valley, absolutely go with One Heart Personalized Ceremonies - you will not be disappointed! Our guests are still raving about Norma and our ceremony.

Out of all the vendors we worked with for our wedding, Peter was by far the most professional. We…read moreloved working with him and having him as our wedding DJ! We found a number of our vendors simply by asking family and friends. This was also the case with Peter; Rachel's uncle used to work with him many years ago and recommended Peter's DJ services to us. We were so glad to make that connection! Prior to the wedding, we met Peter in person once - the day we signed the contract - and otherwise communicated over email and Skype. It was perfect for us since we held the wedding in Central NY but planned it from San Francisco. Peter was always quick to respond to emails any time we had questions and always incredibly helpful. It took us a long time to settle on songs to use throughout the ceremony and reception but Peter was helpful, flexible and adaptable when working with us on a late schedule. He comes prepared with a list of song suggestions from previous clients that he can give to help with your choices for first dances, cake cutting, ceremony, etc. As we got to the week before the wedding we changed our mind on what we wanted for music playing during dinner. We told Peter to play songs from the 1950s to today over the course of dinner - essentially walking us through the decades. That was all the direction he needed to run with it and make it a hit. We trusted Peter to pick songs when we couldn't; we decided a day or two before the wedding that we wanted to do the "shoe game" during the reception and delegated the song selection to him without a second thought. He nailed it - with game show music! We had a surprise firework showing in the evening. Peter didn't know about this until we told him 10 minutes prior. We asked him to "make an announcement" for people to stay just a bit longer - without giving away the surprise - because many were starting to leave. He did a great job with the announcement and gave the attendees a hint of what was coming by playing Katy Perry's "Firework" song. Our event was outside and the dinner and reception were held primarily inside a large tent. We used Peter's wireless uplights to help illuminate the tent. This was HUGE for us. One of our biggest worries going into this event was powering everything on generators. Knowing that Peter had *wireless* lights he could bring for us - that ran on batteries and wouldn't need the generator was a huge win for us. He let us customize the colors we used for the uplights to match the wedding colors. Peter is extremely detailed in his planning and preparation prior to the event which we saw reflected as a seamlessly run event - with him leading the way. We'd hire him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him to anyone who may want DJ services in the future.

Peter was great! I chose him as our wedding dj largely for his organizational skills (based off of…read moreother reviews). He put together a day-of schedule that he distributed to us as well as all of our other vendors (photographer, officiant, etc) so everyone knew what was happening and when. He also was a great help for music selections and played exactly what we wanted-- we requested a couple of Hindi songs which was no problem for him to incorporate into our reception setlist. He also provided music during and before our ceremony. We had music playing as guests arrived and two microphones for the ceremony for an officiant and a vocalist. If you're in the central NY area, you can't go wrong with Peter!
