    Beautiful, Fun and Personal Ceremony!

    Barbara was absolutely wonderful to work with and our ceremony was more beautiful than we could have imagined. She was so easy to work with, helping us to design our ceremony so that it was personal and meaningful to us and our family. She was very responsive and really took the time to get to know us and our relationship, coming up with a ceremony that was so special to us. Her ideas were brilliant and it was a relief knowing we could trust her with the most important part of our wedding planning.

    Barbara did an amazing job officiating the ceremony. She made it fun and relaxed and there was so much emotion - so many happy tears! My husband and I had a very small ceremony (only 13 people including us) and it was exactly what we were looking for - relaxed, personal, fun and full of heart and love! We would recommend Barbara to anyone who is looking for a unique and personal ceremony that truly celebrates your love!

    Simply the best.

    Barbara officiated our wedding at the vow cabin. The ceremony was everything I always dreamed of. Funny and heartwarming. Barbara is truly brilliant and so so good at what she does. The ceremony was so personal and unique to us. I felt so relaxed during the ceremony and I really appreciate that she reminded us to be present and really take in the moment. I really appreciate the care that Barbara put into writing our ceremony. Truly the best.

    Magical evening that exceeded every expectation

    Barbara was incredible. From day one she put us at ease. She was able to take all our ideas and turn it into a magical, whimsical and unforgettable night. It was literally perfect. If you’re looking for a LGBT officiant, you can stop looking and trust her. She’s amazing✨

    Barbara is Extraordinary!

    There aren’t enough words to say how appreciative my husband (still so exciting to say!!) and I are for Barbara. Right from the moment we started working with her she was thorough, relaxed and made us feel so comfortable. She guides her couples, provides them with helpful tips and tools and made us feel incredibly supported. On the day of, she delivered a ceremony that felt like us. We are forever thankful for her and would recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant - especially for those who are less traditional and choose an adventurous elopement like we did! Thank you, thank you and thank you again Barbara!

    The most perfect ceremony!

    Barbara put together the most beautiful ceremony! Our friends and family were included, and some even read a line from a very special poem. It was individualized, and perfect for us! Our guests really appreciated the moment to breath and ground themselves. And we will forever remember that moment! Thank you Barbara ❤️❤️

    A Wonderful Wedding Experience with Barbara Densmore!!

    Having Barbara as our Wedding Officiant was absolutely incredible. She made us feel so comfortable with the process leading up to our special day, she made it easy and very straightforward. This reduced much stress for us as most couples feel leading up to their wedding with getting all the details in order.

    On our Wedding Day, the experience was magnificent. Barbara truly made our wedding day an amazing experience. Highly recommended - she'll make your wedding day incredible too.

    The PERFECT officiant!

    Barbara was a dream to work with- I cannot say it enough! Prior to our wedding, she had me and my husband fill out a little questionnaire about each other and worked our secret responses into our ceremony. This was such a personal touch that brought many laughs and touching moments.

    We wanted sweet and simple and Barbara did that AND MORE. With little surprises along the way, I couldn't have asked for a better ceremony. Even our guests mentioned how wonderful and entertaining she was. A million thank-yous to Barbara!

    A customized ceremony always in our hearts!

    Barbara was the celebrant at our wedding and she was absolutely wonderful! She worked closely with us ahead of time to create a ceremony that was specific and relevant to us - one that reflected who we are individually, as a couple, and in our lives together. The result was a ceremony that felt natural, comfortable, welcoming to our guests and family, and full of love and laughs. Her skilled ability to combine logistics know-how with holding the energy of the space had us relaxed and well taken care of. We were in the best hands with her. We laughed, we cried, laughed some more, and left with hearts full! Thank you Barbara!!

    Unlike any other ceremony I've been a part of!

    Working with Barbara is simply a dream. She took the time to truly get to know us, so on the day of the wedding you feel like you are in the presence of a lifelong friend. We had many people comment after the ceremony that they found it so special and also very calm. I think often wedding ceremonies fly by, but with Barbara, she takes the time to encourage you to take in the moment.

    I also loved how open she is to personalize the ceremony! She is excited by little moments and gestures that are special to the couple and will work with you on how to best include them in a seamless way.

    Barbara - I can't thank you enough for making our day so memorable! It felt just right to us and we feel so lucky to have had your guidance.
