She came to my house and picked everything up the weekend before. Called all my vendors a few days out to make sure everyone knew where they needed to be and at what time. We only met once right after I got engaged and I knew she was the gal for me. After a short conversation I felt very comfortable that she knew exactly what I was looking for. She gave me all kinds of great tips and recommendations. Because of the venue I got married at, there was no dressing area for me to hide in, so I didn't arrive at the wedding until it was time to walk down the aisle. I hadn't seen the venue decorated until then. I could not stop looking around. She made my wedding more beautiful than I imagined it would. If she was stressed out, it didn't show. Every time she talked to me she was as cool as a cucumber. I can't sing her praises enough!

I stumbled across her webpage when met with the daunting task of finding our officiant. I loved her warm feeling and words on her page. I feel in love with her instantly. I read up on reviews and they also beamed endless positive and amazing reviews. It was clear that Shawna loves everything LOVE and warm fuzzy feelings. Within moments of connecting with her, it felt as though I was catching up with an old friend from years ago and no time had passed. We met up in person for champagne and snacks! We got to meet her husband and got to know her better too! We spent 2 hours all 4 of us just talking! HAHA! It was a fun memorable meeting that definitely didn't feel like a "meeting"! Shawna picks up details you don't realize you communicate. She really got to know us, chatted with us like we were close friends and she is just.... Real. She's so much fun and knows how and when to poke fun wand joke with people to loosen them up and get people giggling! Our rehearsal was actually a fun experience and she worked well in a time-crunch we had. She was graceful and kind while dodging the many questions shot at her by family and the wedding party at the rehearsal, which she would eventually answer, had the question askers just held their pants on for a minute! LOL And without giving too much away, just know that she shocked every one of us at the ceremony with the most epic reading and personalized ceremony!! I had tears of laughter!! I'm so thankful that she did that before we read our vows to each other because I was SO nervous and trembly for some reason, but that laughter loosened me up and it got out the jitters so I was able to speak clearly and didn't shake or stumble/cry when I read my vows. We had so many guests tell us how much they enjoyed our fun and light hearted wedding ceremony as opposed to other ceremonies that can sometimes feel stuffy and boring. Our guests felt involved in our ceremony, laughed with us and will never forget the unique ceremony that Shawna put together for us. We love Shawna and Away We Go Weddings!!! Don't go to anyone else!! Hire her and thank us later!!! We now have, formally, "our song" now because of Shawna ;)

We used Liz Rae Weddings - specifically Liz as our officiant for our Chicago events…read more We liked her so much, we used her twice! :) We used Liz for our vow renewal / larger reception this year and for our intimate wedding last year. Liz helped write and deliver two ceremonies from our meetings, where my husband and I were mostly awkward and hadn't done our homework from the meeting prior (sorry!) and generally unhelpful with what we wanted. Even given all of that, our ceremonies ended up being perfect for us! Liz was super easy to work with, scheduling meetings were a breeze as was the review process ahead of time! This year, rumor has it my dad *may have* even cried! I highly recommend Liz Rae Weddings for all of your wedding and vow renewal needs!

We cannot recommend Ty's Wedding Rental enough. Our original venue fell through due to covid, and…read morewe had no idea what we were doing. Ty called us just minutes after receiving our inquiry and from the first moment, brought an excitement, clarity, and calmness to wedding planning that we could not have done without. Throughout the whole process, he was quick to answer questions, extremely informative, and always so kind. The tent set-up process was incredibly smooth and Ty and his team communicated with us throughout the whole process. And the finished product was BEAUTIFUL! We couldn't believe how magical everything looked. And our guests LOVED the restroom trailers - people are still telling us about how much they loved using them. We would 10/10 recommend Ty's Wedding Rental to anyone!!!

Leslie was a dream!…read more My (now!) husband and I decided to have a pop-up wedding during a week-long visit to the Twin Cities. Searching Yelp, we found Leslie with Ceremonies by Positively Charmed days before hopping on a plane for our trip. While we weren't sure if Yelp was the best way to find the individual who would be reading our vows and pronouncing us husband and wife...we cannot say enough for how honored and blessed we are to have had Leslie guiding us into our marriage. With only five days notice, she still took the time to talk us through her process and provided us with a questionnaire that helped her get to know us but also gave us another opportunity to reflect on the gravity and beauty of the decision we were making. When the day arrived, it was as if she was already part of our family and understood the two of us and what marriage and this commitment meant to us. Not an eye remained dry through the ceremony. It had so much heart and depth, and truly reflected us. An intimate and sacred gathering. Leslie will ALWAYS be a part of the joy and delight of our wedding day.

She provided valuable insights and suggestions that made our wedding over the weekend THAT much better. After speaking with Melanie on my own over the phone I knew she was the one we got to have, I went home and told my then fiance, now wife, I found our officiant. My fiance was a bit weary of my decision and so we scheduled a phone call with the three of us a few days later and about half way through the phone call my fiance whispered to me "I really like her (Melanie)".
