Libby Y. Sent on 06/24/2024Most amazing officiant!!
Oh my goodness... Helen is the MOST amazing officiant, and we are so grateful to have hired her. She is detailed oriented and prides herself in officiating the exact kind of wedding service you want. She absolutely delivered on every level for our wedding! There wasn't a dry eye among all of our friends and family. The wording of the ceremony surely tugged at everyone's hearts, and I owe all of that to Helen...
Leading up the wedding, she wrote drafts for us to proof and again, we are so grateful! We added different elements to our wedding (a unique glass ceremony), and she was completely on board and went above and beyond to find the exact wording for our ceremony.
Having Helen as our officiant truly made our wedding exactly how we wanted it to be.. she's a caring, loving and professional officiant, and we will never forget our ceremony. Thank you Helen!Helen Emberly Wedding Officiant's reply:
Hi Libby, thank you so much for the wonderful review. It warms my heart to know your guests enjoyed the wedding and were touched by the ceremony. Wishing you and Raefer many years of happiness as a married couple. I'm so happy to have been your officiant. ~Helen -

Ashley O. Sent on 10/03/2023Wonderful Officiant
I just got married on 9/16/23 and Helen Emberly was our officiant. We found Helen through our venue's wedding fair. We got married at Fairview Events Sonoma County at Foxtail Golf Club in Rohnert Park, CA. When we met Helen at the wedding fair we immediately had a good connection with her. She is so warm and friendly and completely puts you at ease. Her years of experience and her professionalism showed in her planning process with us, as well as her execution of the ceremony at our wedding. Helen was a pleasure to work with and I'm sure she will continue to be a wonderful officiant for all couples who choose her to officiate their wedding. I highly recommend Helen as a wedding officiant, as she can tailor her ceremony to fit your needs. My husband and I are not religious and we knew that we wanted a sentimental ceremony with someone experienced who could convey the message of love and commitment. Helen was absolutely perfect. I highly recommend Helen for all couples who wish to get married.Helen Emberly Wedding Officiant's reply:
Dearest Ashley, thank you so much for the lovely review. It was an honor to be your officiant and I'm pleased I met your expectations. ~♡ -

Helen officiated our wedding in June of 2023 and she did an amazing job! She worked closely with us in the preceding months to come up with a great ceremony that closely matches our belief system and always had a great understanding of what we wanted in our ceremony. My wife and I highly recommend her! -

Tiffany C. Sent on 10/26/2022If you’re looking for the best officiant, we found her.
Helen picked up our wedding, five weeks before our wedding day. We were in a panic and she jumped in with both feet. She created the most beautiful ceremony, and her words moved not only us, but everyone in attendance. She had lots of options to choose from and piece together to really help make the story our own. She was on point with her correspondence leading up to our wedding and helped us through every step. Bottom line, she was the absolute best choice, who took every detail seriously. Was professional, and adapted to the many personalities in attendance. It is a rarity to find someone who is so clearly invested in and love their work and with Helen, that was clear from day one. Everyone absolutely loved her. Sweet, caring, thorough and professional. If you’re looking for it all in one place, Helen is your gal.Helen Emberly Wedding Officiant's reply:
Oh my, Tiffany, I'm honored that you feel this way and that I was instrumental it bringing your wedding ceremony alive. It was my pleasure working with you to create a personal ceremony, just the way you wanted it. Thank you so much for taking time to write a review. ~Helen -

Angela K. Sent on 11/20/2022Vow Renewal Perfection!
Helen was a gem! We planned a trip from the east coast to California for the first time for our 20th wedding anniversary. I reached out to many possible officiants, even ministers, who were charging $400 - $600 or more! We only wanted a short, 20 minute vow renewal ceremony and had no special requests. Helen was the only one who would accommodate our unique needs. Not knowing the area, she helped pick a location. She sent over a written ceremony that she altered for our renewal and it was perfect! We really got so blessed to find her and have her be available just a few weeks before our trip. She is professional, friendly, down to earth, and just such a sweet person! Thank you, Helen, you made our intimate ceremony more special than we ever imagined it could be!Helen Emberly Wedding Officiant's reply:
Oh Angela, what a beautiful review you gave me. I appreciate the details you included about my flexibility with prices and my willingness to help you find the perfect spot for your vow renewal. The situation with each couple is unique and that makes being an officiant so enjoyable. Thank you so much fir choosing me to officiate your ceremony. Come back to Cali and we can do it again. ~♡ Helen -

Laurel K. Sent on 04/25/2022Kind, helpful, & knowledgeable
Helen was very good at quick with responsiveness, she was helpful with a lot of experience and information, very kind and I felt like our ceremony was in good hands! We ended up having a close friend come forward and want to be our officiant, so Helen didn’t actually perform our ceremony, but it was absolutely nothing against her! She would have done a great job and I had complete confidence in her. I would highly recommend :)Helen Emberly Wedding Officiant's reply:
Thank you so much Laurel. Wishing you all the best. It was a joy each time we talked in preparation for your ceremony...even though a personal friend of yours ended up becoming your officiant. Warm wishes. -

Megan M. Sent on 07/01/2021So helpful!
I can’t speak to actually having Helen officiate - but I’m sure she does an incredible job! - but I still felt compelled to leave a review because Helen was so incredibly kind and helpful to me. I reached out to her looking for an officiant on a date she was unfortunately not available. She gave me some information on other options including offering to provide guidance to them if I chose to have a friend get ordained to officiate my wedding. I was obviously not well versed in the process and her kindness and willingness to help despite not conducting the ceremony herself spoke volumes of her character and customer service.Helen Emberly Wedding Officiant's reply:
Thank you so much for the kind words, Megan. And, for taking time to write a review. I trust your wedding this weekend will be very special. ~Helen ♡

A great experience is warranted
Helen is very professional and approachable, she can answer basically any questions we have about the wedding ceremony. Also, she is super responsible and accountable, we really appreciate her climbing up a windy hill to host our ceremony. Hope you all will have a great experience with her, too!Helen Emberly Wedding Officiant's reply:
Dear Song, I appreciate your kind review. Standing on Mount Tam overlooking Stinson Beach was the perfect spot for your wedding to Yihan. Many blessings for the years to come. ~Helen -

Helen Emberly
Helen did a beautiful wedding, able to take aspects from what my wife and I wanted and was able to blend it well. She had everyone in tears with her speech as well and a lighthearted approach to when we stumble over our own words. This was a perfect reception for the perfect wedding I wanted to give my wife and its thanks to Helen.

Lexxi M. Sent on 03/15/2021she is still the best!
We picked Helen because her site was professional, she's dealt with same sex marriages and she really gave of the wisdom in handling these precious moments, wow weren't we just blown away. She looked at the space helped blend my ideas together and really handled the unique entrance and ceremony quite the incredible tear Jerking moments in our wedding. And if I had to do it again, she would be the friend to call. She was above and beyond down to the wedding cows cue cards because lord knows my mind was all over the place and couldn't have been more of a breeze for my wedding. Book her, NOW!!! HahaHelen Emberly Wedding Officiant's reply:
Hi Lexxi,
You are so kind to write this review. I just want to clarify that we didn't have "cows" on cue cards. LOL Thanks for the laugh. And you and Margaret said your VOWS beautifully. Thank you for the recommendation. ~Helen -

The sweetest most thoughtful wedding officiant
Helen was a superstar. She's caring, thoughtful, sweet, and actually love her job. You can tell she loves to officiant weddings and she did a spectacular job at ours. From the minute we talked with her for the first time we knew she would make our day special. She's very organized and made sure we got what we needed but never stressed us out and helped us enjoy the planning process. On our special day she was very helpful making sure the ceremony does smoothly and it did. We cannot be happier with Helen officiating our special moment. Thank you Helen! -

Lisa W. Sent on 01/28/2020Informal elopement at Spring Lake
We chose Helen as our officiant for our informal; elopement at Spring Lake. She performed the ceremony so eloquently that it touched my heart and gave me happy tears.
Helen was so easy to work with. She stayed on top of all the small details; was always fast at replying to my e-mails and change requests. She provided us with several sample vow ceremony choices. She was always helpful and patient during the planning process.
She even hand-carried our license to the recorder’s office instead of mailing. She takes her role as a wedding officiant very seriously and is eager to please and make everyone happy!
We definitely recommend her to anyone who appreciates personal attention and someone who is easy to work with: is kind and respectful.
She made our informal wedding an awesome day to remember!
