Testimonials

The ceremony you conducted was the unexpected highlight of our wedding day. I have been to many weddings in the past year and have sat through many cookie cutter ceremonies. To my surprise, our ceremony was a perfect reflection of us! It was fun, intimate, and even funny at times! The ceremony your wrote gave our guests a better understanding of the unique love between my husband and myself. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us, and for asking questions about our relationship, our cultures, and our families. For example, because my family is Persian, you selected a poem from the Persian poet Rumi. You also took time to mention our parents, both of whom have been married for over 35 years. These details, which are missed by so many other officiants, made our ceremony truly extraordinary. Many many of our guests commented about the ceremony and how personal it was. While watching the wedding video, I was struck by how many of our guest seem touched by what you said during the ceremony. This is because the ceremony you wrote was so meaningful. So again, thank you for being part of our big day and for helping to make our wedding ceremony so special. We will think of you and sing your praises every time we watch our wedding video! Gila

How can we ever thank you properly for the kindness you have shown us? We marvel at your aura and inner peace. We waited 20 years to get married and we both agree that it was worth it to have you perform our ceremony. It was everything we hoped it could be: joyful, magical, fun and totally tailored to our quirky style. Thanks for a lifetime of memories and a friendship we hope will last for a very long time.

We just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all your help. The vows really reflected us as a couple. Everyone told us it was the best ceremony they had ever been to. You made us feel at ease and helped us to convey our true feelings. We are so impressed with your warmth combined with your professional style. We love how you integrated personal details of our life. We are so grateful to have found you and for all the beautiful memories we have to keep. You are the BEST! We will be in touch…..thank you! Marilyn and Colin

From the day we met you, we felt at ease...like you were some long lost friend and mentor that understood our commitment, believed in our union! You truly were the glue that made our wedding come together (I was a wreck and you saved me!). 
In your words on that day, we knew that life was gonna be ok, that all the struggles we may see will pale in comparison to all the goodness, that all the dreams we dream are achievable if we just make the effort. We want you to know that we think of you often, that we get compliments from friends and family about your service even today, and that we hope that all your dreams are realized just as you deserve!

We wanted to send you a gigantic THANK YOU for putting together the ceremony of our dreams. Scott and I were so impressed with your writing and how personal it all was. We feel that it truly expressed our eight-year love story and it really struck a chord with us as well as many of our guests. We were quite overwhelmed by how many people actually cried at our wedding –the words were just filled with so much emotion that it was hard to manage the tears! We had many people tell us it was the best ceremony they had ever heard and that it was just the right mix of sentiment and humor. I even had a couple of friends tell me they were stealing parts for their own wedding ceremonies! You seem to take our thoughts and put them into words and we couldn’t have been any more pleased with the outcome. Valerie and Scott 

Kendra and I would like to thank you very, very much for a perfect ceremony – in fact, we spent the first few days of our honeymoon smiling and re-living the wedding in our minds (over and over). We both kept saying that the ceremony you performed was flawless, funny, touching and exactly representative of who we are and what we want from our marriage. Kendra and I are so happy to be together as husband and wife, and for the ceremony to have been so beautiful… even the weather cooperated… it was amazing. Thank you again, and we couldn’t have found a better officiant anywhere! Please feel free to use us as a reference in any way you see fit. Take care, and perhaps our paths will cross again in the future at another San Diego wedding.

Bob and I would like to thank you for the beautiful ceremony that you created and performed on our wedding day! Wow! I know we read the "script" prior to the wedding, but it was so powerful and beautiful coming from you. I can't count how many compliments we received from our guests regarding how beautiful and how touched people were by the ceremony. You really captured the story behind Bob and me for our guests to enjoy. Thank you again for your services. We are forever grateful to you for helping make our Wedding Day (Bob's Big Day) extra special and memorable! Cathy and Bob 

I just wanted to thank you again for doing such an amazing job on our ceremony. Paul and I wanted something special for our vows because really that is what the whole day was about but what you gave us was beyond what we expected. We had so many of our friends and family come up to us and tell us that it was the best ceremony they had ever been to. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us and writing such beautiful words about our life together and thank you for you guidance and help in making sure everything went perfect, it truly did. I will definitely recommend you to anyone I know getting married. Karey

I just wanted to thank you so much for everything that you did for our wedding! We had such a wonderful time and all of our guests raved about the ceremony, which is a huge reflection on you. Honestly, we had so many people tell us that it was the best ceremony they had ever been to. Everything was perfect and both Matt and I really appreciate all of your efforts. It was exactly how we had imagined - upbeat, yet very meaningful and touching:) It also really meant a lot to our parents that you incorporated them and, more specifically, what they have meant to us, into the ceremony as well. You were a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process and I would highly recommend you to our friends and family for future weddings. I will send some wedding pictures as soon as I get them back! Erica and Matt

Greg and I were so pleased with how ell our ceremony turned out.. it was perfect! It was exactly what we had hoped for and more. It was sincere, playful, and romantic. I have watched the video already three times since we returned from our honeymoon. We have received several compliments on how enjoyable the ceremony was and how it was like no other wedding ceremony they had ever experienced. The ceremony has even inspired my dad to renew vows with his wife and a few friends to take the next step in their relationship and become engaged. They claim “it’s all our fault” but really, “it’s all your fault”... for creating such a beautiful ceremony. Greg and I were blessed when we met you and the memory of our perfect wedding will last a lifetime, thanks to you!
Thank you for all you do. We love you.

Dear Rev. Holly: We just made it back home tonight and I wanted to send you this before I drop into bed!! We are so grateful to you for making our wedding day as wonderful as we could ever have imagined. The ceremony, your perfect words of wisdom and love and friendship, made everyone feel so special and welcome. ALL our guests mentioned how much they enjoyed the Service. I even have a couple of guests who want me to send them a copy of the Service just so they can re-read it again and again!! Your kindness, and sweetness of spirit shines through when you are conducting the Ceremony and no one could believe that you hadn't known us all our lives. The fact that we did all this by e-mail and telephone from Oklahoma to California with ease and comfort and then to have it come out so perfectly is the greatest compliment to your patience, knowledge and warmth of nature. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
Adela & Charlie
