Patricia is a wonderful celebrant and a pleasure to work with!
When my father suddenly passed away, we had no idea where to begin or who to have speak at the service. We decided on having two services: a military funeral and a celebration of life later that evening. Upon meeting Patricia, we immediately felt much more comfortable and confident in preparing a wonderful celebration.
Patricia came to our house and patiently listened to our stories and memories to get to know our father better. She asked great questions, read the obituary, and ran some ideas by us for our approval. She was very flexible and accommodating. She agreed to speak at both ceremonies, and prepared two separate speeches personalized for each occasion and specifically catered to honor my father's remarkable character and life. She spoke for 15 minutes at the first location, and 10 minutes at the second, plus hosted both events.
Throughout the entire process, she was very respectful, professional, and profound. Her words were well spoken, powerful, and uplifting. She helped ease us through a difficult time. Afterwards, she sent us a copy of her speech to look back on in.
Her rate was very reasonable and her services were definitely worthwhile. She was responsive and always available, dressed beautifully, and helped coordinate with the funeral contacts to streamline the ceremony.
While I hope we don't have to go through another ordeal like the passing of a loved one for a very long time, I find comfort in the fact that professional celebrants like Patricia are here to help people cope and accept a painful loss. She helped us look forward towards the future.
I strongly recommend her for any service! read more
