As an attorney I always research, research, research before making a decision. When I was "shopping" around for an officiant, I found it overwhelming. There are so many who offer this service! My now-husband and I felt that the ceremony is indeed THE most important part of the wedding because it creates feelings that will lead into the reception. That will determine how the guests feel. So, we lined up a few people and the search began. Celia was THE absolute most responsive officiant we reached out to. Not only did we communicate via email immediately, but also by telephone. She did not hesitate to offer an in person consultation. We met halfway and that was when I knew she was the one for us. As we chatted during that meeting, I listened to her tone of voice, how she formed her sentences, the words she used, and even her body language while speaking. To be honest, she was on the pricier side of officiants I found, but for my ceremony I wanted the Mercedes and the Harvard/Yale/Princeton model. This is precisely what we got from Celia. Throughout the process she was the ultimate professional. No judgment, no criticism, no ego attached to the ceremony. The ceremony was eloquent, fluid, and beautifully delivered. Our guests, mostly lawyers who are not prone to romantic sentiments and emotional outbursts, were literally in tears because of how touching the ceremony was. Even our photographers who have seen hundreds and thousands of ceremonies were moved by not only the words but by how Celia delivered the words. Everybody was in the moment with us because of her and we really and truly could not thank her enough for making that part of our day so memorable. Our recommendation for every couple is to find Celia, hire Celia, and you will end up thanking Celia.
