An incredible officiant who went above and beyond.
Cecilia went above and beyond for our ceremony. She did not "meet" our expectations; she well surpassed them! She met with us multiple times, sent many options for the base of our ceremony, and personalized the ceremony to match our personalities and our relationship. She was grounding in our planning, always happy to help, and patient but persistent with my husband when he didn't send his vows in until mere days before the ceremony. She worked with us to create a ceremony that was deeply personal, wildly sentimental, and not boring or dragging at all (you know those ceremonies that drag on and you start to fall asleep to- I promise, this was not one of them!). Many guests mentioned that they loved the ceremony and that she was one of the best officiants they had witnessed. Every single moment of the ceremony and all of the planning that went into it went off without a hitch, and that is all thanks to Cecilia. My husband and I couldn't be more grateful to have had Cecilia guide us through the start of this new chapter of our lives. Cecilia, Thank you for making this such an incredible experience. May many more couples be blessed by your charm, grace, and skill as an officiant.

Warmth and Eloquence
Cecilia Penner resided over our wedding and made an exceptional impression on both of us, as well as our guests. From the outset she exuded a warmth and welcome that made it easy to share with her our desires for the day. She took the time to get to know us on a personal level, which ultimately allowed her to include intimate details about our life and relationship within the script for our ceremony. At no point did it feel like Cecilia was simply doing her job, instead it was clear that she aimed to play a memorable part in our celebrations. By far, what sets her apart is her eloquence and ability to design and deliver memorable remarks throughout the ceremony. I cannot imagine our wedding without her, and am confident that others will have a similar experience.

Cecelia was responsive, understanding, helpful and made the who process much easier for us!
We were so very glad to have Cecelia as our Wedding Officiant. Prior to contacting Cecelia, we had very little idea or comfort with planning the ceremony. Cecelia was helpful, understanding, and gave us many ideas to consider for the procession and ceremony. She assembled a beautiful ceremony speech. With Cecelia, the ceremony proceeded as smoothly as we could have imagined. From the very beginning, she took care of the details for us, and we were able to focus on other aspects of our wedding.
