Journeys of the Heart

We used Bob Pileggi as our officiant and we absolutely couldn't have been happier. We originally chose Bob because my husband is pretty shy and Bob has such a calm, kind presence that he made by husband incredibly comfortable.

He made the ceremony incredibly personal to us, gave us an incredible array of choices for every aspect of the ceremony and was there to guide us through the process. We got so many compliments for him through our guests, most of them including how personal the ceremony felt.

I highly recommend him and we'll absolutely be calling him up to renew our vows in the future!

Bob Pileggi was our officiant for our wedding through Journeys of the Heart. I can't say enough about how wonderful he was. He created such a personal ceremony. The ceremony was sent to us to make any changes we wanted. He was also a very calming presense the day of our ceremony, when I was a mess an hour before he was there to talk and help. I think I would have cried through my whole ceremony if it wasn't for his advice.
Journeys was affordable and you can customize your experience depending on how much you want to spend. We went with the least expensive and I don't think our experience was hindered at all. Bob always responded to my e-mails and was great at offering suggestions and guidance. I highly recommend Journeys but even more highly recommend Bob Pileggi. Thank you so much!

My husband and I found Bob Pileggi through Journeys of the Heart. Bob was our officiant for both our son's baby blessing and for our recent wedding. On both occasions, Bob put his all in the ceremonies. He is prompt and extremely detailed oriented. He is also flexible, which was a must with our ceremony as we had to adjust the length to accomodate my ansy 18 month old!! But Bob ensured that all of the key elements were kept even in a shorten ceremony. He had our guests in tears at his beautiful words! Our ceremony was deeply personal and one of a kind. Even in his description of marriage, Bob was able to make it about my husband and I, not just a broad "one size fits all" ceremony. He captivated our guests and most importantly the bride and groom. He even sent us an audio recording of both ceremonies! Bob and Journeys of the Heart are absolutely amazing!

We were paired with Laura Ford to plan our wedding ceremony. From the first meeting Laura was an absolute pleasure to deal with. She was always responsive and helpful. Everyone complimented that it was the most beautiful and "personal" wedding ceremony they've ever attended. She is the best and we'd highly recommend her!

From the first moment I contacted Journeys of the Heart, I knew that I had found the right place. Then, when my husband and I met Susanne Wilson, we felt that we had met the person who was meant to conduct our wedding ceremony. Susanne Wilson may be one of the most amazing people that I have ever met in my entire life. She is such a positive person filled with love and happiness, and we felt an instant connection with her. During this whole process, from beginning to end, we were able to articulate to Susanne what we wanted in our wedding ceremony and what we did not. Susanne truly made our ceremony very special by incorporating what is dearest to us. Now that the ceremony is over, and we are married, my husband and I feel like we have a new edition to our family. We would truly recommend Susanne Wilson of Journeys of the Heart to everyone.

Laura Ford made our ceremony absolutely beautiful, and catered so much to our relationship. I got so many compliments that it was the best ceremony my guests had ever seen. She made the ceremony exactly what we wanted, and she even added some wonderful details.

Overall we had a good experience with Journeys of the Heart. Maria was our officiant. She was quick to respond to emails and wrote a beautiful ceremony for us. However, considering the money we paid and the fact that Journeys of the Heart is supposed to be the best I expected perfection. On the day of the wedding, Maria arrived on time. However, we had specifically asked that the rings be passed down through the bridal party so that each member could hold them/bless them. On the day of, she changed this a little bit and had the maid of honor and best man walk in front of each member of the bridal party holding the rings. Thene each member placed their hands over the rings and blessed them. It turned out a little awkward and not exactly what we had invisioned, but maybe I should have been a little more specific with what we wanted. She also seemed a little flaky and unsure of herself in front of a large crowd. I hate to write anything negative, and think that the ceremony overall was beautiful. Many guests commented on how unique it was. I just think there are other officiants that cost a lot less that could have done just as good of a job.

Urbane Peachey was our officiant for our 10/21 ceremony at the Rockwood Carriage House in Wilmington, DE. We had an outside non-denominational ceremony in the park and were able to personalize it in such a way that it was the highlight of the entire day (and I guess the ceremony should be an important part of the wedding right??). When I talk to any of the guests that attended our wedding, the first thing they tell me is that the ceremony was so beautiful. We were able to thank our parents, do a remembrance for those no longer with us, take a moment to look around, and include our love story. If you aren't associated with a church and don't have anyone to officiate your wedding, I would highly recommend going with Journeys of the Heart. Especially if you are looking to make your ceremony very personable and special.

They are a little on the pricier end but I feel like it was worth it considering that the ceremony, the vows, and the moment of the union is what it's ALL about!!!

My only suggestion is that they don't charge more in order for the officiant to attend the rehearsal. We did not have our officiant attend the rehearsal because of the cost and I feel like there were a few minor glitches that could have been smoothed out during that time.

But all in all, great service. Thank you JOTH...

Tim at Journeys of the Heart was great. When we first met him, he told us that it was our day and he had no agendas except making sure that our ceremony was exactly how we wanted it. When I was standing in front of the crowd with my wife, I was thinking "This is exactly how I wanted my ceremony to be". Tim was flexible, responsive, and just overall great to work with. His reflection was funny but also very heartfelt. I would not hesistate for one second to recommend Tim at Journeys of the Heart for weddings.

I can't say enough about our officiant Laura. She was wonderful and worked diligently with me to create the perfect ceremony that was a true reflection of our relationship. She took it to a much higher level by her projection and voice. We were all in tears (happy tears).

Maria-Odilia Romeu of Journeys of the Heart was one of the best choices we made in our planning process. She helped us create and truly personal and meaningful ceremony. Several people told us it was the most beautiful and romantic ceremony they's ever been to. She made us feel completely at ease and was on top of every last detail day of so we could just relax and enjoy the experience. I'd highly recommend her to anyone!

I can't say enough about this company. Everyone we dealt with was incredibly professional and did everything they could to make our wedding day perfect. Wilson our officiant was a huge hit at the wedding. Not only did he incorporate all of the things we asked for, but added to it making it truly special.

Tara Rubenstein provided a level of warmth and familiarity I never expected from a non-denominational officiant. She made our daughter and fiance completely comfortable and as a result their ceremony was personal, moving and very, very joyous.

Journeys of the Heart, and especially Laura Ford made our wedding day so incredibly special. From our first meeting with Laura, we clicked. She was a great joy to work with. Our ceremony turned out beautifully. She really understood us both. From the love story down to writing our on vows it felt like our Ceremony was so very intimate and special. We get some many compliments on how beautiful our ceremony was and how well of a job Laura did. Thank you Laura and Journeys of the Heart for making our wedding day and Ceremony so memorable.

My husband and I were connected to our officiant, Linda Noonan, through Journeys of the Heart. We met with Linda and I felt so comfortable with her. She is warm and has so much experience. She gave us sepcial ideas to add to our ceremony that came out beautifully. Our vows were a mix of traditional and our own. She calmed my nerves on wedding day and assured me that everything would be fine, and it was! She is professional and I felt confident in her skills. Our ceremony was incredibly special and all our guests continue to ask about our officiant and how we found her. Many of my friends who were present at the wedding are also planning their own weddings, and I am pretty sure they were taking notes! Thank you Linda for EVERYTHING, and thank you Journeys of the Heart for matching us with an officiant that fit our needs and wants so perfectly.

We are so happy that we had Naila marry us! She worked with my husband and I to create the perfect ceremony for our backyard wedding. We were able to go back and forth via email to customize the wording and she couldn't have been nicer. She was completely open to us incorporating our own traditions (like a quilt ceremony) and she really calmed down our nerves by being so incredibly sweet and endearing. We were both really nervous to exchange our vows and she made us feel relaxed. Our family kept raving about how beautiful her words were and how they swore we were friends with her because she knew us so well (when in actuality, our wedding day was our first time "meeting"!). Naila even printed out our vows and gave us a lovely take-away folder. We will definitely be recommending her and Journeys of the Heart to all of our engaged friends.

I didn't think there could be anyone kinder & sweeter on the face of the earth than Susanne of Journeys of the Heart. She has the biggest heart of anyone I have ever met and absolutely loves what she does. We opted to meet with her face to face and spent 3 hours talking about ourselves, to give her some "detail" into our relationship. This was the initial consultation, we hadn't even hired her yet. She stressed the importance of "clicking" with your officiant, because they would be an integral part of your wedding day. I absolutely loved her from day one.

Susanne was fabulous to work with, the process really couldn't have been any easier. We did everything by email, I didn't have to format, organize, think. We just picked what we liked and she did all the work. The day of the wedding she came up to talk with my husband and I, gave us a quick rundown and then did her thing.

Our wedding ceremony couldn't have been more beautiful. Susanne completely blew us away with the little tidbits she included in our ceremony that she picked up along the way. The ceremony was meaningful & special, it showed the love we had for each other and everyone who came to share the day with us. It was exactly what we wanted. I still have guests talking about what a fabulous ceremony it was, if I had to do it again, I'd hire Susanne a million times over.

My wife and I selected Journeys of the Heart to officiate our July 2012 wedding at the Cairnwood Estate in Bryn Athyn, PA. Maria-Odilia Romeu was the officiant selected to work with us. From our initial phone consultation through the day-of our ceremony, Maria worked with us to create a fully-customized ceremony that was uniquely us. We could not be more pleased with the quality of our experience. Maria was so personable, genuine, and professional throughout the process. Our guests remarked how much they enjoyed the ceremony and our officient, specifically noting how Maria made the ceremony seem more conversational and personal rather than just a presentation. My wife noted that the officient was one aspect of the wedding that she didn't worry about. We would strongly recommend Journeys of the Heart to anyone looking for a high-quality officient who will work with your own religious, spiritual, or secular needs to create an incredible personalized ceremony that seamlessly blends diverse belief systems. Thanks, Maria and Journeys of the Heart!

We used Gabby as our officiant and I must say WE COULDN'T BE HAPPIER!!! Gabby is absolutely fantastic! From the first time we met with her we knew she was going to give us exactly what we wanted and that was a customized wedding ceremony. From start to finish she was always available to answer questions if we needed anything. Her stage presence is unbelievable. She's able to project her voice all the way to the back row of an outside wedding without it seeming like shes yelling. She was calm, collective, and spoke at just the right speed so everyone could hear her and understand her without it seeming like she was dragging on. She is genuinely a good person and she was a pleasure to work with! I will recommend her to everyone i can.

We used Journeys of the Heart and more specifically Anita Bondi. Anita was so great every step of the way. From the first meeting to the final word she was a pleasure to be around. On the big day she was there as a support system to keep us calm and focused as well as to ensure that the day went off without any snags. We have received so many compliments about her service- everyone thought she was fantastic. If you are looking for someone who will take the time to get to know you and truly wants to be a part of your special day, look no further, book Anita immediately. You will be so happy you did.

Maria Odilia Romeu was our officiant. We met her once before the wedding, and corresponded by email from there on out. She did a really nice non-religious ceremony for us. It lasted about a half an hour, and focused on us and our story. She even conducted a lot of the ceremony from the ground, while we were standing on a riser, so the focus really was just on us. Even though (or maybe because) it was not traditional, we got many compliments on the ceremony and Maria specifically - especially from older guests.

Naila from Journeys of the Heart did an absolutely fantastic job officiating our non-traditional wedding. The words she wrote for us were so beautiful and moving. We have many traditionalists on both of our sides (bride and groom), and everyone was so impressed with the job she did outside of a church that I think many will follow our lead in the future.

Laura Ford is a saint! From the first time we met until the actual ceremony, we could have not been happier with her. She is genuine, funny and professional. She made our ceremony super personal and before we even got to our pictures had five people tell us it was the best wedding they ever attended. We highly suggest Laura if you are getting married. t will be special, guaranteed!

Our officiant from Journeys of the Heart (Naila) was FABULOUS!!!!

Kelly Fuddy, of Journeys of the Heart, officiated our recent Lancaster wedding. I called her initially just to get a feel for her personality (totally normal!) and then arranged a telephone meeting between me, my fiance, and Kelly. She really got us thinking about what we wanted from our ceremony. She sent us a "Love Story" form, which we initially cringed at and delayed filling out. We were pleasantly surprised how she took the information we provided and created an AMAZING ceremony. We got tons of compliments from our guests. My mom insists that that was the best wedding ceremony she has ever been to. I can't say enough great things about Kelly and would 100% recommend her to anyone.

We had Diane Smith-Hoban as our officiant. We heard so many compliments about Diane and the ceremony, more than any other aspect of the wedding. I can't count how many times someone came up to us and said it was the best wedding ceremony they have ever attended. She made it personal and beautiful and has great comic timing and wit and had our family and friends laughing.

Journeys of the Heart creates a ceremony which honors the couple and glories in the partnership they are creating. This isn't the same ceremony everyone else does, you get a one of kind experience. I cannot recommend it enough.

PS. We had two couples at the wedding who are getting married next year, they both asked for Diane's number.

We had Laura Ford officiate our wedding. She was really a joy to work with - taking so much time to get to know us and really putting together a heartfelt, personal ceremony. I had quite a few guests tell me that our ceremony was the most "real & personal" ceremony that they had ever seen. Laura was also so accommodating - marrying us OUTSIDE in 35 degree weather. Thank you, Laura! I know we were a little crazy with that one :)

Laura Ford from Journeys of the Hearts performed our ceremony. When we first met her, she was very interested in knowing exactly what we wanted and how we wanted our love story told. During our ceremony she incorporated our family members who are no longer with us, and she told the perfect love story that really made for a beautiful ceremony, it was very touching. She really made our day special!

Journeys of the Heart is a wonderful ministry service and we are so happy we looked to them to find the officiant for our wedding. On their website are extensive bios of all their officiants (about 22) and it is easy to read through them and get a feel for who might fit your personal style. My husband and I read through the bios separately, and both of us chose Jim Rosengarten to be the officiant for our wedding! From the first time we met Jim, we knew we had made the right decision. He is warm, personable, and genuinely interested in getting to know the couples with whom he works. After listening closely to our vision for the wedding and carefully reading our responses to the Journeys of the Heart questionnaire (including questions about how we met, when we first knew we were in love, etc.), Jim wrote the most beautiful and personal ceremony for us. Our guests were very impressed also, commenting that they had never been to a more tailor-made event that aptly reflected the bride and groom. My husband and I were honored to have Jim perform our wedding ceremony. We highly recommend Jim – and Journeys of the Heart – to any future bride & groom!

Gabby was absolutely fabulous. She wrote a beautiful love story for us and did a tremendous job with the ceremony.

We were getting married outside and are not very religious. Our venue recommended Journeys of the Heart and they were was wonderful. We specifically worked with David Braneky. He was very responsive with all the questions I sent to him. The day of he was there when he said he would be and had a great personality. He made us feel at ease when we were nervous standing up in front of almost 200 people.

With only a couple of months before our wedding, we switched from our original pastor to Journeys of the Heart and Diane was luckily available. She was very nice and easy to work with. After our meeting, she sent us a ceremony with various examples of each section which we could either select from or choose our own version for. The price was high but totally worth it for us. We received many compliments about our beautiful ceremony and Diane did a very professional job.

Miki Young was absolutely wonderful. She took the time to know about the bride and groom and made the ceremony very special. Quite a few people commented that it was the most exceptional ceremony they had been to.

Journeys of the Heart is fantastic! We selected Diane and she was absolutely perfect! We loved our ceremony and we received many compliments!

We had the most memorable and amazing experience with Susanne Wilson. She is a caring, calming, genuine person and was an absolute pleasure to work with. She has such a unique and beautiful way with words. She created a wonderful wedding ceremony for us- one that captured our love and relationship perfectly. I truly cannot say enough kind words about her. I was amazed by all the wonderful feedback we got from our friends and family regarding the ceremony- they were so moved. Everyone kept saying that it was hands down the best ceremony they had ever been a part of. I highly, highly recommend Susanne to everyone and anyone. She was such a special part of our wedding day and we will never forget it or her!

We were very pleased with Susanne Wilson. She is one of the sweetest women I have ever met and she put together a wonderful ceremony. We got so many compliments about her and the ceremony. We couldn't be happier!

Miki Young was the officiant for our interfaith wedding. She did an AMAZING job. The ceremony was just what we wanted: person, unique, light-hearted, and not too long:) Many of our guests raved about Miki, and that our ceremony was the best they have ever been to. It could not have gone any better, and it was a great experience working with Miki.

They did the job! Great pricing options for different ceremonies. We didn't think with only talking to us for 15 mins that Naila would know what to do for us but it was perfect. We were allowed to change the wording and add things that we wanted.

One of the best decisions we made was choosing Maria Odilia from Journeys of the Heart. We knew immediately after meeting Maria for the first time that she was a perfect fit for us. She worked with us for months tweeking our ceremony to exactly how we wanted it; we got so many compliments on it afterwards from guests. Maria was a delight to have with us on our wedding day!

Irene Fulton – Journeys of the Heart as a company is amazing. They are quick to
respond, and have a number of officiants to choose from. We read through the list and found Irene to
be the best fit for us. After meeting her in person, we knew we chose the best choice for us. She is truly
wonderful. From the moment we met, we got this peaceful vibe from her, and as two very emotional
people, that was definitely a must have. She worked with us to create a personalized ceremony for the
big day. She offered suggestions, fixed up some wording to sound more formal, and lent us a helpful
hand whenever it was needed.

On the day of the wedding she was prompt and quickly helped the guys get in order (we didn’t do a first
look). She delivered our ceremony so beautifully that there wasn’t a dry eye in the whole place. She
was patient (with our cries of happiness) and was overall the only person I could ever imagine guiding
us through our handfasting, and marriage. Every single person commented on how unique, loving and
wonderful our ceremony was – a large part of the credit to that belongs with Irene.

I highly recommend Journeys of the Heart as a company, but especially Irene Fulton.

We are not religious and did not want a ceremony where all the guests zoned out while the officiant droned on and on with stereotypical wedding readings. Linda Noonan from Journeys of the Heart wrote the perfect ceremony for us. It was succinct yet meaningful, as she spoke about our individual personalities as well as our relationship. She not only gave us many options for the vows, exchange of rings, and blessing, but we were able to combine and/or omit portions from the various choices. Each part of the ceremony transitioned smoothly into the subsequent part. We also gave her a few of our favorite quotations, and she incorporated them seamlessly into the script. She emailed us a copy of the entire ceremony before the wedding, and on the day of the wedding, she adhered to the agreed upon version. There were no surprises, and she never sounded like she was preaching. She was always poised and professional.

Our only criticism is about the pricing. It seems kind of silly that JOTH charges $100 extra for doing a rehearsal the day before the wedding. However, Linda assured us the rehearsal wasn't necessary so we opted out of it and did the rehearsal an hour before the ceremony which was more than sufficient.

We were incredibly impressed with the quality of our ceremony, and highly recommend Linda and Journeys of the Heart! Thanks for making our ceremony meaningful and memorable!

We had David Braneky as our officiant at our Wedding. He was very professional and easy to get along with. Our ceremony was very personal and delivered with perfection. Our guests loved the ceremony and we got a lot of rave reviews. Thank you for being a part of our special day.

I would HIGHLY recommend Journeys of the Heart if you are looking for a beautiful, personalized, spiritual ceremony. Maria Odilia crafted such a meaningul and beautiful ceremony for my husband and I. So many guests commented on how personal and beautiful and special our ceremony was.

Diane Smith Hogan was the best officiant we could ever have imagined! She had so many great suggestions and she let us customize the selections she had. She listened to everything we said and the ceremony was really US! She looked at the site and made the best suggestion to have us facing our guests, to really include them. We really felt like she had our service in hand. Thank you so much Diane! Love, Karen and Michael Curtis

Maria of Journeys of the Heart performed as our Minister for our ceremony. Throughout the entire process, she took us, the couple into account by personalizing the ceremony to what fits us and not a cookie-cutter ceremony. We took our own ideas and traditions as well as her experience and she created a beautiful ceremony that made us feel united.

In terms of readings, vows, etc, Maria provides an extensive collection from which to choose either to use directly or to mix and match based on what means most to the couple. She is warm, kind-hearted, and a gentle calmness that is helpful to brides, grooms, and their family as the most joyous of occasions can be the most stressful as well.
Maria did an excellent job of managing everyone at the rehearsal.

I can't say enough about Diane! She was FABULOUS! She helped us create a wedding ceremony that was unique to us. She offered great suggestions and was very patient with any changes we had. We had so many compliments from guests on the ceremony!!!

We had Diane from Journey's of the Heart. She did an amazing job with our ceremony. We had a lot of people come up to us and say that was the best ceremony they had ever seen! She only met with us one time and yet it seemed like she had known us forever! JOTH is great for designing your own ceremony. Diane walked through everything with us and asked us what we wanted, special things we wanted to add, and you get to pretty much create a ceremony exactly how you want it. Diane did a great job sharing our story during the ceremony and really focusing on the love and the importance of the day. She was so easy to work with and such a great person in general. We were so happy with how the ceremony came out and I would recomend her to anyone!

Irene was great to work with. She was open to our suggestions and seemed to enjoy the "non traditional" style we were looking for. She helped us make our wedding very special.

Journeys of the Heart of wonderful, and our officiant, Diane, definitely made the ceremony incredible! Our ceremony was custom made, and completely us!

We chose to work with Gabby and she created a beautiful ceremony for us! Gabby worked with us every step of the way from sending us multiple drafts of our ceremony until we were perfectly happy with it to calming our nerves before and during the ceremony. Our ceremony was a wonderful blend of Jewish traditions but done in an interfaith way. We were so happy that our ceremony really felt like it was crafted just for us. Our families and friends could not stop talking about how beautiful they thought the ceremony was.

Miki Young was our officiant from Journeys of the Heart and I can't tell you how happy we were with everything she did for us. We first sat down with her and went over our love story, how we met, family background, etc. After two meetings, she put together a great program to incorporate some cultural traditions. I received so many compliments on the ceremony and what a wonderful job she did.

I have recommended Marguerite and her company many times as a wedding photographer so it was the only way we were going to go when it came to an officiant. When she told us that she personally was not available, we were very disappointed as she tried to change her schedule but was unable to. so, she referred us to Suzanne, one of the other officiants in her company. Suzanne worked with us over an almost 9 month timeframe helping us customize our ceremony so when the wedding day came she was great. The guests enjoyed her humor and she made this special time in our lives extremely solemn but yet relaxing. My 85 year old Very Catholic mother was even impressed by how nice she was and how professional the ceremony was.
If you want a "Non Denominational" ceremony call...

Journeys of the the Heart was the perfect choice for our wedding. We were initially skeptical of using a service like them as it seemed a bit "one size fits all", but we couldn't have been more wrong. They tailored the ceremony exactly to our needs! Al Vernacchio was excellent - he spent a lot of time with us, getting to know us, what type of experience we wanted, and the little things that made us decide to get married, and it all came through in the ceremony. It was made just for us, and we got so many compliments on how beautiful it was! We can't thank Mr. Vernacchio and Journeys of the Heart enough for the great experience!

My husband and I used Journeys of the Heart for our June wedding this year and Urbane Peachey was our officiant. We didn't want a very religious ceremony but wanted to have God incorporated. Other than the Irish Blessing and to be declared husband and wife we had no idea what we wanted to do for our ceremony or how to go about putting one together. Urbane was great working with us to find what we wanted, he had examples of different ceremony components and we were able to choose the ones we liked to create something that was perfect for us. Our wedding was outside, in June, in 90-something heat on a very sunny day. I thought my guests were going to leave and my soon-to-be husband was going to pass out. Urbane got through the ceremony without rushing, but without taking too long too. My husband and I decided before hand that we weren't going to have him tell a story of how we met at the ceremony. During the ceremony he said "When I first sat down with Jean and Anthony they told me the beautiful story of how they meet.....which you can ask them about AFTER the ceremony" which caused everyone to laugh with relief when they realized they didn't have to sit through a long story in the heat. Urbane was sweet, subtly funny and we were happy he was a part of our special day. You can tell he enjoys what he does and genuinely enjoys being part of such an important event.

Everyone loved our officiant, Diane, and thought she was outstanding. Her calm caring demeanor, really set the perfect mood for the wedding. We loved that we were able to create the ceremony that we wanted. I would recommend Journeys of the Heart to anyone looking for an officiant.

Journeys of the Heart was wonderful. Our officiant was Naila, and she delivered a beautiful, personal ceremony (despite the rain!) We received so many compliments on how unique our wedding was, and it wouldn't have been the same without her. I'd recommend Naila and Journeys of the Heart to anyone.

Jim Rosengarten was our officiant on our wedding day. He created a wonderful ceremony for us. He was always on top of everything, stuck to deadlines, and was very willing to communicate. He met with us before starting anything so he could get a feel for us as a couple and so we could get to know him as well. He was open about suggestions, made whatever revisions we needed and made sure the ceremony was exactly what we wanted. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding officiant.

We absolutely loved our officiant, Kelly. The ceremony was done beautifully from start to finish. She did such a wonderful job putting together a personalized ceremony - she included our son/step-son and she even remembered to input small details such as our first date at Starbucks! My husband and I couldn't have dreamt of a better day. Kelly and Journeys of the Heart truely made all of our wishes come true when it came to our ceremony- thank you very much!

I highly recommend Diane from JOH...she made our ceremony so personal and special. She was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process and made us feel completely comfortable.

Kelly Fuddy wrote an amazing wedding ceremony program for us. She included alot of personal touches and our guests complimented us on the content and presentation of the ceremony. She was wonderful to work with!!

My husband and I had a small family ceremony in 2009 and Linda Noonan from JOH was our officiant. We loved her so much that when we had a our vow renewal ceremony and big reception this year, we knew right away that we wanted her to a part of our ceremony again. She is very professional and made our ceremony very personal. We can't say enough praises about her!

Choosing Journeys of the Heart for our wedding officiant was one of the best decisions for our wedding. Both my husband and I are not religious and were dreading locating a meaningful officiant that would capture our spirits without bringing religion into the ceremony. Journeys of the Heart was a perfect fit. We were able to meet with HELEN BURKE almost a year in advance for about an hour and discussed how we wanted our ceremony to be. Helen was very accomodating and together we designed OUR perfect wedding. Her love story brought tears to the eyes of many. We were participants and designers in every aspect of our ceremony and for that I will be eternally grateful. Thank you Helen for your amazing ceremony. Our guests still talk about how wonderful it was a year later.

Wilson made our ceremony personal and professional. He was very delightful to work with and gave us exactly what we wanted in our ceremony :)

Journeys of the Heart was perfect for us! We are not part of a local church so we were worried about finding someone who understood that although we are not very religious, we are very spiritual and wanted a meaningful ceremony. Urbane Peachey was our officiant and he was so amazing! He met with us and truly got to know us as a couple. the ceremony he created for us was so personalized and unique to us. Because of that it was so meaningful and emotional. He was also always ther for us when we had any questions. Our guests all commented on how much they enjoyed our ceremony too!

Look no further! Write the check! I have to say that my fiance and I thought Journeys of the Heart was a bit expensive. WE WERE WRONG. It was the best ceremony that we could have dreamed of. We highly recommend them!

Kellly Fuddy was our officiant in Lancaster, PA. she did a wonderful job of personalizing our wedding and was even able to perform the ceremony in two languages which was wonderful! It's wonderful to see that there is a company out there that focuses on making your wedding a special one and doesn't judge based on extreme religious beliefs.

From the very first contact, I knew that Susanne Wilson was THE officiant for us. (also great, even though Journeys is far away, Susanne is local!) I have never met a more caring and considerate person, and the notion of being able to custom-design our ceremony was really neat.

Susanne was patient, full of great suggestions, and most importantly, has a fantastic sense of humor. We had such a great time at our rehearsal and ceremony. It was very important to us as we are not "religious" that we have an intimate and yet laid back ceremony. Susanne captured the essence of who we are, and put together a ceremony that was absolutely unforgettable!

Everyone that I spoke with at Journeys was so very pleasant and kind... I would not hesitate to recommend them!

My husband and I are not religious, so it was important for us to find a non-denominational officiant. I read about Journeys of the Heart on Wedding Wire, and thought it sounded perfect. It was!
Miki was a wonderful officiant. We met with her twice before the ceremony. She is very experienced and easy to talk to, and crafted a very personalized ceremony for us. And it was only 20 minutes, which was a great length for us.
We had so many compliments on how beautiful and unique the ceremony was. I highly recommend Miki and Journeys of the Heart.

We chose Journeys of the Heart because we were getting married outside, and wanted a non-denominational ceremony. I was a little nervous at first since I belong to a traditional church, but I was put at ease from the first contact. Naila was our officient, and she was wonderful, she sent us several options for the ceremony and let us choose exactly what we wanted to personalize the wedding. She also included a blessing of my children, who were part of the wedding, and this was such a beautiful part of the ceremony. At first my husband thought JOTH was a bit expensive, but after the ceremony we were so happy that we chose them! Naila was wonderful.

I chose Journey's of the Heart via the internet. Right from the start I was confident and felt that I was making a great choice. Right away I was contacted my Margurette. We talked for along time and she listened to all my thoughts and concerns. We were then matched up with Kelly Fuddy. We met with her for 1 hour and discussed our wedding. I felt we hit if off very well from the start. Over the past year we mainly stayed in contact by email but she was very nice and quick to respond. Our wedding was held outside. Of course it rained. We ended up cutting just about all of our ceremony out except our rings, and vows. Kelly was so sweet and agreed to stay longer than expected and finished up our ceremony at our receptions. I was so thrilled that she was willing to do that for us!

The owner of the company got all of my preferences over the phone and was very friendly. She matched me up with the perfect officiant. I received many compliments on how beautiful the ceremony was. I couldn't be happier with everything!

Let us write our ceremony and did a fabulous job day of!

Laura Ford from Journeys of the Heart was our officiant at our May 30, 2009 wedding. She was wonderful! We met with her at Christmastime to discuss our vision for our ceremony and then she provided us with lots of options for readings/prayers/etc to use during the ceremony.

Laura helped us incorporate different traditions in our ceremony and allowed us to write our own vows.

All of our guests told us what a personal and moving ceremony we had and we're so glad we found Laura Ford and Journeys of the Heart to help make it that way!

My husband and I got married outside, and were seeking a spiritual service relatively 15minutes long. Personally, I had no idea there were so many options available for vows and ceremony types and rituals (like wine drinking or unity candles...) we could pick from. Our officiant, Urbane Peachey was absolutely amazing. He was exactly what we were hoping for, and really provided us with unique choices and a helping hand on what to select for our service. Never judgemental, always supportive and he basically gave us the pieces to our ceremony and allowed us to pick and choose what best suited our personalities.

I really think Urbane's kind nature and genuine love for what he does really made us love working with him and being in his company and all of our guests thought he was delightful, kind, and genuinely happy to be there! He brings a sense of peace to the meetings and the wedding day, and he performed a truly special and unique service that everyone will always remember!!

Journeys of the Heart is a wonderful company to work with! They will make sure your day is as special as it can be!

We had our original officiant (not from Journeys) move away about six months before our wedding and on a recommendation from our Silver Sound DJ we went with Maria Romeu from Journeys of the Heart. They do completely customizeable weddings and were willing to incorporate a candlelight ceremony piece for me. Knowing we wanted a portion candlelight and do the unity candle, Maria came up with the idea that we'd pass the light from back to front of the wedding guests at the ceremony and once it reached our moms in the front row than we'd get the light from them to light the unity candle. Everyone loved this!! It was an awesome sight to stand up there and watch the light spread from guest to guest and it made for a unique wedding moment. Maria was so personable and nice to use when we met to put the ceremony together. She also asks that you not include her for the dinner which is nice because there are so many other expenses and vendors to serve it was nice that from the start she said don't worry about feeding her. She was so friendly that she chatted with the other guests during cocktail hour and they all seemed to really like her.

Sharon Browning:

She is a personal friend who did our wedding. However, the company Journeys of the Heart (www.journeysoftheheart.org) is where she got her ideas. She is friends with the people who began that company and I contacted her thinking that is where she was. So one could go to Journeys of the Heart to get a very personalized and secular ceremony.

Sharon was amazing. We met with her two times before our wedding to talk about readings, ideas and for her to get to know us (she knew me but not my husband prior). She had some interesting ideas on where/ when to put the readings and helped with vows, blessing and ring exchange. She also gave a great “homily” that she drew from our love stories. It was very personalized. Although she had never done one before, I know she got ideas from www.journeysoftheheart.org so I would recommend them.

Since we are an interfaith couple and neither of us are religious, we searched for a non-denominational officiant. I met with Journeys of the Heart and had a meeting with Micki. We immediately loved her unique ideas and felt that it would be perfect for us. She had all sorts of ideas like passing the rings through the crowd at the ceremony so everyone close to you touches it, the hands ceremony, the circling of flowers, etc. In addition, she suggested that we add our respective traditions without being too religious (unity candle, breaking of the glass, etc.) She gave us the full script of the ceremony before hand and we edited and customized it. This was especially nice because she had a personalized love story which we used to say what we wanted to say to each other without having to say it ourselves. It was short, sweet and to the point. Afterwards, we had so many compliments on how the ceremony fitted us so perfectly. .

Diane Smith-Hoban officiated a fabulous ceremony for us. She is kind and her spirit really speaks to you. Our guests thought the ceremony was beautiful and touching. She didn't have it very easy either as this was a cross cultural wedding and her flexibility was much appreciated. I highly recommend Diane and Journey's of the Heart.

Diane, was one of the best things to happen to this wedding! It was a little more money than I wanted to spend, but worth every penny. It was the best ceremony I have ever heard! and the best part was it was mine!

Journeys of the Heart was a very thorough agency that connected me with a local officiant. The officiant was extremely accommodating when I changed both my venue, and date, even though he had to drive an hour to get to the ceremony!

We were originally scheduled to have 2 different officiants who canceled on us & it led us to Kelly Fuddy with JOTH. She designed a perfect ceremony for us by utilizing a one on one meeting in which we talked about ourselves & our relationship. She designed a truly personal, intimate, romantic & unique ceremony for us.

Loved the service, it was very intimate. Richard did a wonderful job.

People are still raving about our officiant, Miki Young from Journeys of the Heart. She wrote a beautiful ceremony which told our story and integrated both of our different religious backgrounds. She had wonderful suggestions when we spoke on the phone. This company was truly a joy to work with. Our original officiant backed out on us a few weeks before the wedding, and my wedding planner called Miki because she had worked with her before. I'm so glad she did.

Journey's of the Heart is a great company to consider using if you are wanting a wedding ceremony tailored to your custom needs/beliefs. We had a non-denominational ceremony and our officiant, Katie Letterio, worked very closely with us to draft our ceremony and give advice. She also was available to lead the rehearsal (for an extra fee) which was extremely important because of the custom nature of the ceremony. I was glad to have Katie help walk us through that process.

Marguerite was wonderful. The ceremony was beautiful and were a reflection of me and my hubby. I have already recommended Journeys of the Heart to my recently engaged friends.

We used Urbine Peachy from Journeys of the Heart and were very pleased with his service. he took the time to get to know us and make our ceremony deeply personal and spiritual.

Always a touching ceremony when Journeys of the Heart have been envolved.

We know that when Kelly is going to be the officiant at a ceremony, that things will go well and we will all be a lot more calm. I just found out that I am working with her next week. I can't wait.

Naila Francis did a FABULOUS job officiating my clients' wedding last month. She was professional and charming. I'll recommend her again and again.
