Kind Words

We are beyond grateful to have had Rita as our wedding celebrant. From the very start, she was professional, calming, and incredibly supportive. Her warmth and kindness made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. Rita took the time to really understand who Jamie and I are as a couple and helped us craft a ceremony that was a true reflection of our relationship.

As a detail-driven couple, we had lots of questions, and Rita was more than happy to provide thorough answers and offer helpful insights, ensuring we felt confident every step of the way. We had seen her officiate our friends Vince and Brianna's wedding, and her presence left such a lasting impression that we knew she was the perfect person to marry us.

We are so thankful for the beautiful ceremony she led and couldn’t be happier with our choice to have her officiate our marriage.

Rita was not only an amazing celebrant but such a beautiful person to work with throughout our whole process leading up to the wedding. We would recommend Rita to anyone who wants a smooth, reliable, very personable, and romantic wedding celebrant/ceremony. She always made us feel extremely calm and comfortable! Thank you for helping to create the ceremony of our dreams Rita!

We were so fortunate to have Rita be our Celebrant at our Wedding at the State Library, she really did help us stay calm and excited. She also really helped us express our love for each other. She made all of our guests laugh and she really did bring her amazing energy to the ceremony. So lucky to have found her and to have her be apart of our special day.

Rita, thank you so much for making Joey and my wedding day truly magical. From the moment we met, your warmth, kindness, and professionalism made us feel at ease, and we knew we were in the best hands. You crafted a beautiful ceremony that reflected our love story perfectly, and we are so grateful for the personal touches you added. Your thoughtful words and calming presence helped make our day even more special. We’ll always cherish the memories of our ceremony, and we couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful celebrant.
When Rita arrived, everything seemed to fall into place. Joey, who had been feeling overwhelmed with nerves all morning, found comfort in her presence. Her calming words and reassuring smile helped him let go of his worries and reminded him of the joy and love that awaited. With her by his side, he was ready to walk down the aisle with a heart full of confidence and excitement."

Thank you again for being such an important part of our special day!
