If I could give Celene a bonus 6th star, I would…read more We had a destination wedding, and our coordinator recommended Celene. So we scheduled an initial consultation via FaceTime. We were pleasantly surprised by her thoughtful questions and loved her emphasis on learning how we wanted to feel on our wedding day and how we wanted our guests to feel. For her, our ceremony was such more than writing a script or signing a marriage license. She was one of our guides toward the moment where we committed to a future together. In the end, Celene drew out of us all the answers she needed -- and her final effort was exactly what we envisioned, the perfect tone and celebration of our marriage.

We found Celene, and instantly felt a connection with her. She is kind, inviting, and professional!…read moreShe was so easy to work with, and listened to the story of us, carefully. Her level of attention to detail is unmatched, and it showed on our wedding day. My husband and I were shocked at how similar our vows connected with her words! We were stunned at how perfectly she was about to reiterate the story of us. We had an unplugged ceremony, and Celene's talents shined through, incredibly! We got SEVERAL compliments about her, and although I've never been married before, I assume this is rare! I've never been to a wedding where I remembered much of what an officiant said, so there is definitely something special about Celene. We can't thank her enough, but more importantly cannot recommend her enough to any brides and/or grooms to be. If you are looking for a flawless ceremony that holds meaning, select Celene. Would LOVE to have her for our 10 year vow renewal!!!

They made the entire process comfortable, seamless, fun and very memorable. The ceremony was incredibly meaningful to us. Charlotte conducted the ceremony with so much love and good energy. Larry, her husband/photographer, and Charlotte both took pictures and we really loved how well they captured our elopement and time together. We also unexpectedly received a beautiful and sentimental gift after the ceremony. We feel incredibly blessed and lucky to have found an amazing person to marry us and be a part of our journey/story. They helped foster and create some of the most cherished memories of our lives. Thank you so much Charlotte & Larry for our elopement!

My…read morehusband and I were planning a small ceremony in Joshua Tree, and since I was 8 months pregnant and working with a tight timeline, we needed someone highly organized and flexible. Charlotte delivered and exceeded every expectation. We chose the Earth Based Crystal Ceremony, and her commitment to customizing every single detail, from incorporating our unique love story and faith journey, to honoring our parents and seamlessly blending our children made the entire ceremony feel incredibly deep and personal. She took time and care to get the tone exactly right, ensuring it was sincere, tear-jerking, and perfectly focused on our spiritual foundation. She handled all the filing quickly and was a calming, professional presence on the day. If you are looking for an officiant who is organized, compassionate, and can create a truly custom, unforgettable ceremony that speaks directly to your heart, look no further than Charlotte! Highly, highly recommend!

The bud vases were so sweet and romantic but also affordable. My sister commented they looked vintage chic. I would definitely recommend bud vases instead of traditional floral centerpieces if you aren't looking to spend all of your budget on florals. Alyssa can really make them look beautiful.

I think she is just trying to get that part of her business up and running, but she should definitely stay in her lane. So much went wrong, so here goes. Her budget was way off. She did not return calls in a timely manner until it was brought to her attention. Not a big deal? Ah, sadly, there's more. We found out day before the wedding that her computerized version of seating arrangements was "just an approximation." So seating was way off from how we had imagined and we had to make last minute adjustments. She does not know how to run a rehearsal and announced to all that she had never seen a wedding like ours before! (The men walking to the front while bridesmaids walked down alone). This was followed by her lining up all backwards and everyone was trying to tell her it was wrong. So much confusion that the pastor finally took over saying, "Friends, I'm now running this rehearsal." She should've been embarrassed, but she wasn't. The day of the wedding she asked me how to display the table menus - one for each table. I had previously asked her how many frames to bring and she told me. I brought extra, but it wasn't enough. No problem, she said, we can just put the ones without frames up against the centerpieces. How tacky! As guests began to arrive, a friend asked where she could put her wedding gift. When I asked Alyssa, she said that "no one brings gifts to weddings anymore," so there wasn't a place for them. The wedding was to have bubbles on each seat. Not on mine, and I'm the MOB! Didn't get to blow bubbles for my daughter. And others felt the same way. What part of "every seat " is hard to understand? At the reception, wine was to be self-serve on the table and would then be replenished as needed. When I noticed some friends had no wine, her lame excuse was that she thought it would be nice to serve our guests. But those glasses were empty!! There's more but you get the picture. Along the planning way, when asked for lists of what she should be doing and when, her response was that we had no need to worry because it was all in her head. But it clearly was not. We paid a lot for her services. Almost $6000, not including flowers. The day ended up beautiful but because we had to work around her. Such a disappointment. The most disappointing things is when I reached out to her to discuss all of this after the wedding, she took absolutely no responsibility for anything. She actually thinks she did a great job. I'm here to tell you she did not.
