She really takes the time to get to know you and your future spouse so her ceremony is written personalized and perfect. She took into account our venue and made beautiful similarities between love and nature which was perfect for us. Her ceremony was sincere and put tears in both of our eyes. She as also brief and not "too wordy" which was perfect. We got so many compliments on her and we would recommend her to anyone, no matter if you want something nondenominational, or perhaps more religious. She will make your ceremony personalized and perfect. She is extremely prompt and responsive to emails and questions. She also promptly filed for our marriage license with the county and we got our copy in the mail very quickly. She also does wedding day-of coordinating and will do rehearsals, however we didn't need these services. Although we know she would have been great!

From the first planning call, to the emails back and forth, to the rehearsal, and then the ceremony, Jennifer comes off as an old friend - someone you've know for years. She has a warmth and kindness that makes you feel at ease, and a professionalism that makes you certain you're ceremony will go off without a hitch. Jennifer was crucial in our ceremony planning, offering great ideas for how to make our ceremony fit us and not feel cookie cutter! Each person we have talked to since our wedding has mentioned how much they enjoyed our ceremony, and that makes us feel so special. If you are in need of someone to officiate your wedding, look no further. Jennifer is the perfect person to oversee your special day.

Christine, assured us that everything would work out and had such a message she gave us, that made us feel at ease. From the beginning she walked us through the process with the county and how to properly to do our license and what was needed. We were lost as our photographer cancelled on us at the last minute and the misses was quite upset as now we did not have a photographer and Christine stepped in and gave us a recommendation that far exceeding our expectations. Even at the last minute booking we were never rushed, we were provided several options for the ceremony and each one was remarkable, it was hard to choose. So we took different options and sent them to her, and let me say it was allot of changes and there was no hesitation as she delivered examples each time, even with a couple last minute changes, I was expecting a different reaction, but we were wrong and she delivered with such grace and patience, I sure would not have had. The day finally came and I met her first, of course the bride was running a bit late, mind you it was 25 degrees out and we were having an outdoor wedding. She came and talked to me and we walked where the ceremony was going to be. It was time, and as my wife was walking down the aisle, she made sure I did not peak bit was telling me how beautiful my bride looked and as a guy you know I wanted to see, but she with military style kept me focused. The time has come, and even with a fur coat, it was really really cold. The ceremony, we never imagined the message that was delivered would ever be that emotional and with love in the message but the love in her voice as she delivered dour ceremony. Not only did we feel it, our guests felt it as she just didn't read through the service, you could feel that it was a true feeling in her voice that was amazing. The only thing I regret, was not getting hand warmers for us, as seriously it was cold but a beat was never missed. Christine, thank you for being a part of our ceremony, thank you for uniting us as one, you will always be part of our family. There are far and few true sincere people that not only believe in their work and take so much joy in what they do. The calling you have is an inspiration to us all. Thank You so much!!!!!

    So we originally planned to have our very outgoing friend get ordained to marry us but due to…read moreconflicts she could not. So I looked for an officiant and read some great reviews about Toni. First, she is very professional. We spoke for about 20 minutes and she made us feel very confident in her. The four months leading up to the wedding didn't require much. She emailed us a packet with all the info and things we needed to give her. You basically use her different readings and put together your ceremony and of course she is open to customizing. About 2 weeks prior we sent our wedding itinerary. Because of the Covid quarantine we were not sure if we could do it at our venue. Turns out they only allowed 10 people so we decided to do it at our house. We have a very nice size house and very big backyard. I sent her my vows the day before, since I am the Groom. My wife sent hers a week before. So the day of we got word of 80% chance of storms. So all the outside work I did needed to come inside. We transformed our living room into the venue. 15 minutes before it stopped raining and we had our friends and family move everything out to our back patio with a gazebo where we originally planned. Toni got there 30 min prior and spoke to us about how it will go down. Then went to our wedding party and our little ring bearers how to walk in. I was scrambling to set up the walk in music and our Zoom video for guests that couldn't attend. After running around and sweating I said I was ready. Toni walked me on and I took my place. Our party walked in and finally my bride. Toni gave me perfect instructions how to meet my bride and her father then we met and held hands. Toni read our chosen script and did it perfectly. Her voice was loud but not too loud. When we got to our vow, she handed my bride her printed vows and said to take a deep breath. It went flawless. Next she handed my vows and repeated to take a breath which I did. Yadayafa it was perfect. She gave us a great suggestion how to do the kiss and then another on the way out. It was so professional. She was so kind and thoughtful but also very controlling when she needed our attention and focus. She was strong but pleasant. Our wedding was not as planned. It was chaos but Toni brought it all together. I'm so glad we used her especially with a chaos wedding. Toni knows what she is doing and is very professional. We are not religious and didnt want anything about God and Toni did it right. Butnif your are religious she can do that too. I would recommend Toni any time. She made our crazy day come together perfectly.

    Toni couldn't have been more perfect! Trying to find someone to officiate our wedding was a bit…read moreoverwhelming - between sending initial inquiries, to the going back and forth, to finding out how outrageous the price for an intimate ceremony can be. Toni was very responsive from the beginning, super courteous and extremely reasonably priced, but was really did it was finding out that she speaks Spanish. That was very important since my mom primarily speaks Spanish and I wanted her to be able to understand what was being said during the ceremony. We met with Toni a week prior to our wedding day in order become familiar with her and go over they way our ceremony would play out. She was very professional yet warm. On the day of our wedding things got a little hectic since it was raining out and we got to the wedding venue later than we wanted to. Right away she put us at ease as we scrambled to try to get it together. She directed our small party as to what needed to be done and the ceremony went off without a hitch thereafter. If you are currently searching through an endless list of wedding officiants for your special day I say to you "save yourself the stress and look no further" Toni is nothing less than spectacular (whether or not you need her bilingual skills). She will give you 110% of her experience, professionalism and warmth! Sincerely - a very happy newlywed.

When I changed my mind and decided I didn't want to leave God out of our wedding, I said that I would pay for and find the officiant. I admit I didn't shop around. My wedding planning approach was one and done. Once I found something I liked, I was done "shopping." I liked that Rev. Phil offered a free intro session before committing to his services. After the first one hour meeting, my husband also liked him and we were sold. We did the full package and I'd recommend it. The love story was definitely the best part of the service. It's true what the other reviewers said, people talked about that love story for weeks and months after the wedding. We were willing to make fun of ourselves and this really helped carry-off the fun of the story. Rev. Phil has a great knack for telling a story. Everyone was laughing, including us. So many of our pictures show me looking around to the crowd laughing at my ridiculous self and trying to make eye contact with someone mentioned in the story. We were also able to incorporate a touching candle-lighting memorial for my husband's deceased parents, as well as readings that were a mix of religious and secular. Rev. Phil is very detail-oriented and will give you explicit instructions and details about each part of the service. I found this helpful, as I didn't want to worry about all the details myself. As he says, he's the professional and will take the stress of this part of the wedding off of you. As a bonus, I heard he even "fooled" by super-Catholic mom by wearing his collar. No grief for no Catholic wedding! Rev. Phil really helped make our wedding a perfect, unique and special night! I'd recommend him to anyone!

We got married at Pine Manor in September 2015 and I could not have asked for a more beautiful ceremony and the setting was perfect for us and the pretty garden made it feel really romantic. We selected the Everything Wedding for up to 30 guests and from there we had very simple decisions while Rev Pam and Liz her assistant did the rest. From the cake, to the violinist, vows, dance lessons, delicious food, music, beautiful bouquet, hair & makeup, wedding invitations, photography and drinks.It all was absolutely PERFECT! I must say I was kind of neurotic and emailed her a lot with random questions and requests and any request was no problem and all questions were answered quickly. She also allowed us to make payments up until the wedding which really helped. Not only is Rev Pam on top of every little detail but she's also very warm and kind and makes you feel at home and definitely makes your big day really special to you. BTW, our cake was Central Continental Bakery was amazing! We got so many comments about how delicious it was and how beautiful it looked. I gave Rev Pam a picture of the way I wanted our cake to look and she made it happen. I thoroughly recommend Pine Manor for anyone thinking of getting married. Mary & Rich Married Sept 5, 2015
