He communicated clearly throughout the entire process, explained every step with ease, and made us feel completely confident that our ceremony was in the best hands. What truly set David apart was how heartfelt and personal our ceremony was. He took the time to learn our story, our values, and what mattered most to us, and he wove those details beautifully into the ceremony. It never felt generic or scripted. It felt authentic, meaningful, and deeply reflective of who we are and the journey we share. Many of our guests commented afterward on how emotional and sincere the ceremony felt, and several asked if David was a longtime friend because of how personal it was.

He created a space where we felt fully present, grounded, and connected to one another in such an important moment. If you are looking for an officiant who is not only highly professional but also truly cares about crafting a ceremony that feels uniquely yours, David is an exceptional choice.

He spoke eloquently in front of about 150 guests, moving the entire audience. Before discussing how incredible he is, I'd like to mention that Judge Gunther officiated my parents' wedding 34 years ago in 1990. It was a profound honor to have him officiate our ceremony on April 27th, 2024. This connection made the event even more special, and he was the perfect person for the job. Jeff shared his written speech with us several times before the wedding to ensure we were happy with it and incorporated all our suggestions. We received so many compliments throughout the night and long after the wedding about how great our officiant was and my best friend said if she had known about him, she would have used him for her wedding 6 months prior! Jeff is a unique and exceptional individual, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had him officiate our ceremony.

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.

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!!!

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.
