- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? We felt very comfortable having Ginny as our officiant. She is so sweet and kind, she was even able to make my husband open up to her who is normally on the quiet side. During our meeting she got to know us and used that to make our ceremony personalized. We opted not to do a rehearsal, but Ginny came early the day of the wedding to help us quick practice which really put us at ease.
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? She provided a detailed questionnaire that she used to really make our ceremony personalized in addition to our meeting in person. She also provided lots of options for vows and ring vows. We were able to preview the ceremony wording before the wedding, but hearing the words on our wedding day it was even more beautiful than we expected.
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? We had a moment of silence for our loved ones that passed, during which a gust of wind came in. Ginny made a quiet comment that "they're here" and I got goose bumps. Wow. I also liked that she personalized our ceremony by saying how my husband and I met, and what we loved about each other. The entire ceremony was perfect.
- Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? Everyone I've heard from loved the ceremony saying it was beautiful... elegant and yet also casual.

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Absolutely. She was organized and ran through the program in advance and joked with us to keep us calm before the ceremony.
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? She made a few jokes that only my husband and I could hear during the ceremony which made the whole experience more enjoyable and less stressful
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? She got to know us a bit before the ceremony and could reference who we were as people during the ceremony itself.

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Yes...Ginny is extremely personable, and welcoming. I felt comfortable around her as soon as I met her. She seems very interested in learning about you and your fiance so that she can provide exactly what you want in your wedding ceremony.
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? Ginny gave us a personalized copy of our wedding ceremony that we can keep to remember our wedding day and even use later down the road for vow renewals. She also filed all of our paperwork with the state and provided in depth instructions on how to change my name and file the proper paperwork which was a HUGE help.
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? Ginny gave us a large selection of vows and readings to give us ideas as to things we could select. We were essentially able to write the ceremony with her guidance so that it was worded in a way that related to us.
- Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? My mom just loved Ginny and the ceremony which meant a lot :)

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? When we first met her in February, we felt very comfortable talking with her. She has a warm demeanor, asks good questions, and is an excellent listener. She stood out from the crowd enough that we booked her on that day.
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? Ginny went above and beyond in making it to our rehearsal. It took her three hours in traffic and horrible weather. Without her, the rehearsal would not have been successful.
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? We wrote our own ceremony, based on materials provided by Ginny and from other sources. She did a meticulous job proofreading our ceremony, and was able to make small changes that we didn't catch.
- Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? Well....most comments dealt with the "background music." We had an outdoor ceremony and spent our time worrying about rain and wind. We had neither rain nor wind, but there was a nearby music festival that drowned out parts of the ceremony and the guitarist! Ginny handled it all with grace and elegance. And in the end, it was kind of funny -- we embraced it.

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Ginny is a very warm and inviting person. She met with us before the wedding - asked us about our values, beliefs, hopes and dreams. She incorporated all of this into our wedding ceremony. Ginny also made us very comfortable during the ceremony. As a result, we were able to say our vows without hesitation. We always knew that she would take care of us as the ceremony progressed and she did.
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? Nothing. The wedding ceremony was completely expected. Ginny had written our ceremony prior to the wedding, so we knew exactly what to expect.
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? Outdoor wedding. Unity Candle. Vows.
- Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? Delightful, sweet, and very warm. It was spiritual without being preachy.

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Ginny made us feel extremely comfortable. She met with us 6 months before wedding. She really talked to us and got to know our values, beliefs, hopes and dreams.
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? Actually we surprised her. We had a Harris Hawk fly through our crowd, land on the best man's arm and deliver the rings. Ginny had no practice time with the Hawk (we did tell her about it ahead of time) but she didn't miss a beat! She walked right up to it, took the rings from it and played into the whole surprise to our guests. She was wonderful.
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? Ginny incorporated portions of our "love story" - the story of our courtship and romance.
- Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? Our guests thought she had known us for years - she was so intuned to everything we felt and wanted for our wedding day.

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? We felt comfortable only because she allowed us to change anything that made us uncomfortable about the ceremony.
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? We didn't have any last minute surprises.
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? Our ceremony was touching and personal without being in any way religious. We're an atheist couple with religious families, so we needed our ceremony to omit religion without alienating our guests.
- Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? People remarked that our ceremony was very "us".

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Very comfortable- we were able to meet with her about 6 months prior to the event to discuss our relationship and what we value in our relationship. She has a warm smile and a vivacious laugh!
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? Just an outstanding story about our relationship and meaning of love... Nothing that we didnt appreciate!
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? For the most part our ceremony was non-denominational with a Jewish twist. With Ginny's assistance, we were able to personalize our wedding and ring vows. Honestly, the entire ceremony, from walking down the aisle to taking our picture with Ginny following seemed like it all belonged in our Love Story.
- Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? Multiple guests commented on how sentimental and special our vows were... (They all thought that we had written them on our own... he he he) Many also commented on how they couldnt keep the tears from falling!!

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Yes. She was very warm and seemed to be genuinely excited for us.
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? A personalized ceremony based on the questionnaire we answered.
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? We used the Basic Package, so were not able to create any part of the ceremony. But Ginny took the answers from our questionnaire and personalized the ceremony where she could. We were also able to indicate that we wanted a simple, modern ceremony of about 10 minutes total. We left out many parts we did not want (there were options for candles, blessings, and other symbolic and traditional pieces), but included the ones we did such as the exchange of rings, and having Ginny say our vows for us.
- Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? I loved how intimate the ceremony and celebration were. We were actually able to sit down, talk to people, and get caught up -- which tends to be unusual for lots of wedding celebrations. Also--that was a very short ceremony, unlike a church!
Review: The ceremony was EXACTLY what we wanted!!

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? I felt comfortable the entire time with Ginny. I must admit, I was two to four weeks behind in planning most aspects of my wedding. Ginny came highly recommended so I thought she might already be booked for my date, but I figured it can't hurt to ask! Even though we were behind schedule, Ginny worked with me and my fiance and made us totally comfortable. I felt totally relaxed putting our ceremony in Ginny's hands. When we met with her she put us at ease. When we spoke with her I knew she was the right fit!
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? Even though we only met with Ginny for about 30 minutes, it seemed like she "got" mine and my husband relationship. I did not expect her to make the ceremony so personal with so little knowledge about us. She understood that our relationship revolved around laughter and that family was very important to us. She made our non-denominational ceremony very personal and very memorable.
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? We didn't really do anything to personalize our wedding ceremony. We had a short non-denominational ceremony. Ginny's words were the only thing that really personalized our wedding for us.
- Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? During the ceremony we had a really cute situation with our five year old ring bearer. We got him a pillow with the fake rings attached to it and when she asked for the rings, he marched right up because he had the "real" rings. She comforted him, letting him know he had the real rings but we were using fake ones for the ceremony. It was so precious how she made sure he knew he was doing a great job. My favorite comment from a guest was from my now mother-in-law. She said she thought it was amazing that she handled the situation so delicately without bellttling our ring bearer and making him feel like he was still the most important man on the floor. Since I can very rarely narrow any of my favorites to a single choice, my mother-in-law also said it was beautiful how Ginny was able to understand our character and put it into words in front of our family. She was great.
