- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Venus is a truly wonderful celebrant who worked with us in crafting the ceremony that most represented us, which included both traditions and new elements. She made us comfortable right away with her sparkling, down-to-earth sense of humor.
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? She kept a spirit of reverence but also fun. We even had a round of applause during our ceremony!
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? We are both writers, so Venus guided us through many, many drafts of the ceremony before we had her take a pass on the script. She was very patient with our perfectionist natures and our need to define marriage as we saw it during the ritual.
- Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? Since the wedding, many of our guests have commented that the ceremony was the most memorable, touching part of the wedding, and Venus had a great deal to do with that.

- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? Her couples questionaire really helps you put your own voice in your ceremony. She went word for word on some of our answers, and worded the others even better.
- Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? She put our love for Star Trek in our ceremony- and all of our guests laughed and said they'd never heard anything like that in a wedding!

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Yes. Though we had the ceremony in a park of her choice, which was beautiful, but crowded, we would have preferred our backyard. Unfortunately, we were so last minute that she was unable to come out to our home.
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? She was sweet to accommodate us last minute on her birthday.
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? We simply wanted a quick ceremony on a particular date without any guests, as our formal wedding was a month later.

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Yes. Venus is easy to talk to and gets back through email rather quickly. She is friendly and also has a sense of humor.
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? Venus sent us a questionnaire that we filled out and she used that to come up with a base for the ceremony. She also gave us the opportunity to edit whatever we wanted. It wasn't like a normal ceremony I've been too. I felt it was just for us.
- Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? They liked that it was different and not the normal dialogue.

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Absolutely. She was amazing. Venus has an amazing aura and energy around her. A lovely person to be around. I was the photographer at the wedding and she was absolutely lovely. The bride and groom, who were dear friends of mine still gush about how amazing Venus was. The brides mother had past away and it was very, very important to include her in the ceremony. All the guests were crying, tears of joy. She really added a special and customized touch to their wedding.
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? I had the absolute pleasure working with Venus. Venus and I were both vendors for a gorgeous Temecula Valley Winery wedding. I met her at the rehearsal and she was pleasant and easy to work with from the get go. The first thing that I loved about her was her energy— she has this amazing aura around her that makes everyone at ease, especially the bride. The second thing that I immediately noticed was her attention to detail and attention to doing whatever she can to make her client happy. I have worked with countless officiants and celebrants in the past, but no one holds a tune to the fabulous celebrant Venus Kitagawa-Stojsic. Venus sees the big picture, she actually cares about her clients needs and goes over and beyond to work with the other vendors at the wedding to make sure that the client gets the wedding of their dreams. First impressions are definitely everything and Venus delivers. As a photographer, I'm also trying to do whatever I can to make my clients happy. With that in mind, I was elated in how helpful Venus was to make sure that happened for me. For instance, the smallest gestures can change everything; what many ministers or officiants don't remember to do is to move to the side after the "kiss". It's not a make it or break it deal in the photograph, however the attention to the littlest details like that really count. For her to know how precious the moment of the seal of the kiss is and to move aside is very forward thinking and proves my very point of her being someone that does everything she can to make her clients happy. My point in this little instance is given proof that Venus is not only amazing and what she does, but also for the very fact that this all goes back to Venus seeing and recognizing the big picture and believe me you, not everyone is like that. What I love most about Venus is her willingness to go above and beyond; this is why she is so successful and this is why EVERYONE wants to book her. Venus is thoughtful, caring and I would one hundred percent, absolutely recommend Venus to anyone wanting the best of the best!
