Brendan and I just want to thank you again for performing our ceremony. We think it went wonderfully. I appreciate you coming in to check on me when I was getting ready and trying to keep me relaxed and calm. Our families and friends really enjoyed the ceremony and so did we.

Merci Barbara for your good wishes… we just loved our marriage ceremony and we consider it to be our top high point of our day…We were pleased by the way you conducted our ceremony…Thank you so much.
Christine & Stephen
Thank you for all of your help with our wedding. The ceremony was just what we wanted. We loved how you included the kids into the ceremony and we thought that the certificate for the kids was a great idea (we actually framed it and place it in their bedroom). We wanted it to be a great time for all of our guests-and it was!
