Great experience
She was fantastic. Had a sit down meeting and she took great notes. Made a personalized ceremony based on everything we told her about us. She is top notch and definitely would recommend. Guests complimented her ceremony as well!She was fantastic. Had a sit down meeting and she took great notes. Made a personalized ceremony based on everything we told her about us.

Best Officiant Around
Carrie helped make our wedding so much less stressful. After having 2 officiants say they couldn't do our wedding, Carrie was so incredibly helpful. She chatted with me first on the phone to make sure we were a good fit, she listened intently to our wants and made sure our day was exactly that... ours. She wrote the most beautiful vows that were heartfelt, like she had known us for years and years, (yes I cried the whole time, they were even better than I could have hoped for). Even last minute changes she incorporated so beautifully. To anyone getting married in northwestern Indiana, please choose Carrie. You won't regret it for a second!Carrie helped make our wedding so much less stressful. After having 2 officiants say they couldn't do our wedding, Carrie was so incredibly helpful.

Absolutely Amazing!
On September 13, 2020 I got to marry my forever partner! Everything about our special day was beautiful including the sunny weather. We pictured and talked about this day over and over the past few months! Needless to say, what we thought versus how our day actually was didn't even compare to how full our hearts felt. Carrie, you tied everything all together by capturing our forever moment exactly how we wanted with a touch of flare and fireworks!! We thank you for being the one who united us on this day.On September 13, 2020 I got to marry my forever partner! Everything about our special day was beautiful including the sunny weather.

Amazing from start to finish
Carrie did an amazing job working with us on our nuptials. We have known each other since I was in 7th grade. She incorporated everything from our children to our love story into a ceremony packed with laughter and emotion. We would recommend her to any and everyone!Carrie did an amazing job working with us on our nuptials. We have known each other since I was in 7th grade.

Carrie did a phenomenal job putting us at ease from the first time we met. She was easy to get ahold of and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect ceremony catered to us.Carrie did a phenomenal job putting us at ease from the first time we met.

Carrie is the best!!
To be perfectly honest, this wedding did not take place. Covid made the dae change twice and the death of my future father in law and my future mother in laws health has forced us to bcc cancel and move to a different state. However, Carrie had several meetings with us, worked with us on making and finalizing our vows, was extremely helpful when we had to reschedule our wedding twice and was very fair when we had to cancel our wedding.To be perfectly honest, this wedding did not take place.

Blue Chip Ceremony
Carrie did an amazing job! She was easy to talk to and took our vision and did awesome. I had a few cultural aspects that she incorporated and she was open to learn and do awesome. She was also patient with my bridal party. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a wedding officiant.Carrie did an amazing job!

Fantastic!
When looking for an officiant I had no idea where to start. It was extremely important to me to have someone who is able captivate our guests with our love story. It is significant because the ceremony sets the tone for the rest of the night. One of our vendors referred Carrie to us and I am so so happy they did! She exceeded our expectations and was so helpful and professional. Carrie was absolutely amazing from the start. When we met with her and talked about each other, how we met, and why we are choosing to get married. Carrie was very easy to talk to and was always quick to answer our questions and provided a lot of advice. I was in love with our script and cried when I read it for the first time. She truly understood us and told our story how I imagined it would be told. Our wedding day wouldn’t have been the same without her.When looking for an officiant I had no idea where to start.

Absolutely magical!
Carrie was absolutely amazing. She was very professional, caring, prompt, and incredibly easy to work with. We chose to go with a more non-traditional ceremony. She captured who we are as a couple perfectly in our love story and vows. Our guests felt the love and warmth in the room and both laughed and cried along with us. We had so many compliments from our guests about how truly wonderful our ceremony was! Thank you so much Carrie for bring our wedding to life! You're the best!Carrie was absolutely amazing.

A Personalized Ceremony
Carrie was wonderful to work with! She patiently guided us through the process of writing our vows, asked pertinent questions that led to a very personalized (and humorous, because we're silly!) ceremony, and provided us with exactly the right vibe for our small, casual wedding in my parent's backyard. Carrie communicated incredibly well with us, answering every question promptly and patiently. She was also very good at calming me on the day of our ceremony.
I would recommend Carrie to anyone planning a wedding. Her combination of personality and professionalism is lovely and exactly what we wanted for our special day.Carrie was wonderful to work with!

I can not say enough good things about Carrie! She swooped in, after our original officiant had to pull out, two weeks before the wedding. We had a lot of fun chatting and discussing the ceremony, and she wrote up not one, but two lovely services, after our fickle selves decided we wanted something different. She was there with a huge smile, and executed everything perfectly. It's crazy how we can't imagine our day with out someone we didn't even know two weeks prior. I know a whole lot of people getting engaged this holiday season, and I've recommended her to all of them. Thanks again, Carrie, you are truly the best ❤️I can not say enough good things about Carrie! She swooped in, after our original officiant had to pull out, two weeks before the wedding.

Carrie officiated our wedding on Friday 8.11.17. It was a beautiful ceremony and was everything i had hoped for! It was very personal and intimate. She was very great and easy to work with. We spoke over the phone and she sent me a draft of what the ceremony would be. I knew exactly what to expect for the big day, which made me at ease. I had her take out a few things last minute and Carrie did not mind at all. I highly recommend Carrie to be your officiant!Carrie officiated our wedding on Friday 8.11.17.

We had multiple guests come to us after the ceremony and tell us that it was the best ceremony they had ever sat thru and that it was so unique and personal. She accommodated all of the requests that we had and incorporated everything into the ceremony that we wanted! She is such a wonderful person and she was so easy to work with. I will never be able to thank you enough, Carrie. You wrote a memorable ceremony, not only for us, but for our guests as well! We wish you nothing but the best!Oh. My. Goodness.

Carrie was wonderful to work with. My fiancé and I (at the time) had planned on using a different person to officiate our marriage but the plans fell through. Carrie was recommended to us by a friend and we couldn't have been happier with the outcome. It was nerve racking to find someone who was available and also LGBT friendly. It was very short notice but Carrie made it work for us! She took the time to get to know us, made us feel comfortable, and wrote a beautiful ceremony. I would recommend her for sure! Thanks Carrie! ??Carrie was wonderful to work with. My fiancé and I (at the time) had planned on using a different person to officiate our marriage but the plans fell through.
