Sydney Sent on 10/27/2024Kiera is the best!
She took the time to understand our needs, and craft a heartfelt and custom ceremony that had countless guests asking “Who was that!? Your celebrant was soo good!” and “We loved getting to hear the story of you two!” We interviewed with a couple celebrants from different companies before interviewing Kiera. The first person we interviewed was a little too informal, the second person was way too intense, but as soon as we spoke with Kiera, we knew shed’d be the one! We got along immediately, she was creative, kind, and warm. We couldn’t have asked for a better ceremony! -

From start to finish Kiera was amazing to work with. During our first meeting and the ones to follow, Kiera got to know and understand us, she walked us through all the details of our wedding and ceremony, and she personalized it extensively to us. During the entire process we felt at ease with her guidance and suggestions. Kiera made a daunting part of our wedding stress free. She truly cared about making the ceremony perfect for us. As for the ceremony, we couldn’t have been more thankful and happy with how it turned out. Kiera was able to capture emotion, feelings, laughter, and joy so elegantly. During and even after the wedding, we received so many compliments about... -

I can’t speak highly enough of Laura, who officiated our July 25, 2024 wedding. From the very first meeting, she was warm, helpful, and informative. She responded quickly to all of our (many!) questions and concerns throughout the entire process as well. The ceremony that she created felt like a perfect reflection of the two of us. My now-husband made the mistake of reading the ceremony draft for the first time in public and immediately started to tear-up! Laura’s presentation of our ceremony was exactly the way we talked about beforehand; we wanted our ceremony to feel romantic and joyful with a bit of levity and she delivered exactly that. Laura helped us create a ceremony that was just... -

Gianna Sent on 08/24/2024Kiera was a dream!
My husband and I could not be any more opposite - I am type A and he is spontaneous. He wanted a fast ceremony and I wanted something dreamy and romantic with light humor. My wedding planner put us in touch with Lehigh Valley Celebrants and the truth is we could not be any more pleased. Kiera was just spectacular - she knew what she was working with (two polar opposites) and made magic happen.
I was hesitant to even consider her even though she seemed great because we were an hour away and would not even meet her until the day we got married! However, we had 2 meetings via zoom and both were efficient, fun,... -

Shannon Sent on 08/03/2024My ceremony was my favorite part of my wedding, thanks to Kiera
Kiera is one of the kindest, most thoughtful, organized, reliable, and insightful humans I have ever met. My ceremony was pure magic largely thanks to her. Her guidance through the process made it seamless and simple, which was very helpful for me, who is prone to anxiety. Choose Kiera if you are looking for something tailor made to you and so special. -

Emily Sent on 01/28/2024Warm, personal, thoughtful.
We were absolutely delighted with the services of Donna of Lehigh Valley Celebrants for our wedding on the 14th of October last year in Hawley, Pennsylvania. She was very warm, friendly, professional, and wrote a beautiful ceremony for us taking into consideration our personal story - fully customized to us. She was respectful of our opinions and changing things when we felt something didn't quite feel like us, and worked in a number of touches very specific to our interests. We live overseas and she was always responsive, no problems communicating internationally - plus she took the time to meet with us in person when we were visiting in the states before the wedding. That proved to be very...Donna Forsythe and the Lehigh Valley Celebrants's reply:
Oh Emily and Thijs! Thank you so much for your lovely comments!

Liz Sent on 11/20/2023Laura Eppler is a wonderful celebrant
Laura Eppler from the Lehigh Valley Celebrants was the officiant for our wedding. We wanted a non-religious ceremony bespoke to our personalities and interests since both of us are Atheists and from different cultures. We interviewed a few people before deciding on Laura because she seemed easy to talk to and not at all pushy. She wrote something that captured important details from our relationship. Laura gave us a lot of creative control over different aspects of the ceremony and even went along with some quirkier requests to incorporate Dax and Worf’s wedding ceremony from Star Trek into our own. Additionally, my husband is Chinese so we wanted to include a kowtow ceremony to respect his heritage. Laura seamlessly... -

Absolutely Loved
We absolutely loved working with Irene from LVC- from our initial meeting to our wedding day Irene was there offering advice and being one of our biggest cheerleaders. She put together a beautiful ceremony based on our questionnaires, which felt more a conversation Irene always wanted to know more and that made it so comfortable and enjoyable.
She listened to what we wanted and incorporated our wants into the ceremony. Our day wouldn’t have been as special without Irene. -

Morgan Sent on 07/25/2023Highly Recommend!
We are so incredibly happy that we were paired with Kiera to write and officiate our wedding ceremony. From the minute we met Kiera, we felt welcomed, comfortable and truly seen. Kiera was organized and explained each step of the process with us. We had a few elements to the ceremony we knew we wanted to include and Kiera incorporated them seamlessly to create what we can only describe as a dream ceremony script. We were then blown away a second time on our wedding day when Kiera delivered the ceremony - she was articulate, adaptable, so welcoming, and a comforting presence for us and our guests.
We had countless guests approach us to let us know how... -

Working with Irene from Lehigh Valley Celebrants was such a wonderful experience! We started off with a video call where Irene asked us questions and got to know us as a couple while also allowing us to get to know her. She was so kind and laid back and walked us through the general process of creating and carrying out a wedding ceremony. After the call she sent us so many amazing resources with different options for readings and wording for our vows, etc. Within this information were different ideas for the ceremony which we loved. We chose to have a ring warming ceremony where our parents and wedding party all passed and held our rings and warmed them... -

User6893065 Sent on 07/03/2023Excellent officiant!
We worked with Laura Eppler for our wedding. We found her to be personable, organized, and easy to work with. Although she typically does ceremonies with a lot of personal details, we are generally private people and she was very amenable to crafting a ceremony we were comfortable with. We did several rounds of editing and we were able to be as involved in the process as we wanted. Most importantly, we felt like her delivery on the day was great. The words we’d worked on together really came to life when she read them. It made for a personal, meaningful ceremony. Numerous guests specifically mentioned how unique and beautiful the ceremony was. We wanted a non religious ceremony... -

Pure Perfection
Laura did an absolutely fantastic job with our ceremony! From the very beginning she was so interested in getting to know us and make our ceremony personalized to us. Every time we met with her she was always incredibly helpful and even asked questions that I would never have thought of. Our ceremony was incredible and a perfect representation of my husband and I. All of my guests raved about how fantastic and beautiful the ceremony was, there was not a dry eye in the crowd. I can't recommend Laura enough! If you are looking for a perfect ceremony, she's the one for you.Donna Forsythe and the Lehigh Valley Celebrants's reply:
Thanks so much for the wonderful review, Kelly and Matt! Despite the heavy rain that day, your wedding was still beautiful in every way. Love and happiness to you both. -

Kelly Sent on 04/07/2023Private, simple ceremony
Kiera and Lehigh Valley Celebrants made our special day personal and just as we wanted it to be.
They helped us find the perfect location for our ceremony.
Donna met with us to understand what we were looking for and assigned Kiera to our ceremony.
Kiera was responsive to questions and made our ceremony reflect who we were as a couple. She helped us with our vows and provided guidance for all the other details of our ceremony.
Our ceremony was private, simple and perfect for us.
I highly recommend them!

Sarah Sent on 03/15/2023Donna was wonderful!
Donna was the perfect choice as the celebrant for our wedding. She was so helpful and informative during our introduction. She even helped us think up small things to add to our ceremony to make it a bit more meaningful, like including a ring warming done by our parents. Donna wrote a wonderful first draft for our ceremony and she let us provide our own input and feedback to create the perfect wedding script for us. She was open and accepting of any and all changes we wanted to make. She created a ceremony that was tailor-made to us, and she definitely made multiple guests cry. She also gave us a lovely copy of the ceremony script after the...
