Lauren Sent on 09/06/2022Best decision ever!
Multiple guests raved about how moving and special our wedding ceremony was. Starlene provided beautiful words of wisdom that hit home for us and our families. Not to mention, our consultation session was basically a pre-marital counseling session! Starlene is kind, professional, and responsive. Hiring her was one of the best decisions that we made. -

Starlene was such a treat to work with. She was responsive to us in a timely manner, answered questions that we had regarding our marriage ceremony as well about ourselves to customize it to our relationship. We would definitely recommend Starlene to anyone, don't hesitate and reach out to her! -

Thank you for coming to our rescue! We didn’t want to wait until the courthouse opened to get married, plus we wanted a ceremony catered to our needs. Our officiant was professional, responsive and gave great suggestions to fit the wants and desires of our ceremony location and vows. You helped to make our wedding enjoyable, memorable and stress free! -

Reverend Burns was a delight to work with. We had decided on a last-minute intimate ceremony with just our parents in attendance. We didn't know much about what to expect on our special day, but Reverend Burns helped us pull it all together. We wanted to jump the broom but realized we had waited too long to order our own. Gratefully, she was able to lend her personal broom to us - and it was gorgeous! Our intimate ceremony was divine thanks to her. I would highly recommend Reverend Burns if you appreciate working with someone experienced in officiating all types of ceremonies. She provides the type of guidance one needs when planning a meaningful event like a marriage, even when you don't have much time to plan. -

Beatrice Sent on 02/26/2020Wonderful!
We made the right decision getting Rev. Starlene as our officiant. From the beginning, she was so kind and understanding especially on our wants. She took time to get to know us as a couple before sending us a draft of the ceremony. She also mailed us a copy of her workbook that contains all the information we need along with a guide on how to create personalized vows. My husband and I however decided to just go with one of her pre-made vows since it resonated with us. On the day itself, the ceremony started on time. She conducted the ceremony in such a heart-felt way that even the guests felt it. Most of them approached me during... -

Ben Sent on 10/21/2017Reverend Burns was absolutely amazing. Not only did she help us to craft a beautiful ceremony, but she was phenomenal to work with and the guests even commented on how great she was afterwards. You can't go wrong with her. Highly recommended! -

Ceciley Sent on 08/06/2017I recommend Rev. Burns 100%. She was very responsive from the first day I inquired about her services. She worked with me over the course of a few months to customize our ceremony. The day of our wedding she arrived on time and was a true professional. She was even thoughtful of our guests. The weather the day of was unseasonably cool for our outdoor affair and she suggested we might want to consider cutting the length of the ceremony. My husband and I didn't mind this at all considering a traffic accident prevented our guests from arriving on time and we were forced to work under a serious time constraint. Working with Rev. Burns was a breath of fresh air. A true professional indeed! -

Masresha Sent on 07/19/2013I found Reverend Burns here on Wedding Wire because of her stellar reviews. She is an absolute professional and like others have said she is witty and carries an amazing ceremony delivery style. We made it into the "Vows" section of the New York Times with a reference to Reverend Burns.

I'm so happy, and our day would undoubtedly not been the same if Reverend Burns didn't officiate.

Nicole Sent on 10/18/2011Rev. Burns was EXCEPTIONAL!!!!!!!!! We found her only weeks before our wedding, however we felt like we had known her for such a long time. Her professionalism, flexibility, and creativity during our last few weeks of planning put us at ease. Rev. Burns exudes confidence and a great sense of humor, and added a wonderful touch of class to our ceremony. We wholeheartedly recommend her!!!!!

Sherlene Sent on 05/03/2010Rev. Burns was a pleasure to work with. She gave us exactly what we asked for and did it beautifully. Although we had never met her before our initial meeting for the ceremony, the warmth we felt from her at the ceremony felt like she'd known us for a long time. -

Brandy Sent on 10/04/2009My husband and I enjoyed working with Reverend Burns, who counseled and married us. She was very direct with us, and made sure that we understood what we were committing to. She had the process of a complete ceremony from beginning to end, and I was very impressed with that. It took a lot of time & commitment to put all that together.... and I knew that she was the one. She rehearsed with us and made sure that all of us were during our part, and even showed us how to do it. During the ceremony she assisted my event planner, and made sure that everything was in place. She made us very happy. I was so please to know that she had our backs. -

Beautiful ceremony, amazing photos
My husband and I were married on 3/16/2019, and we both loved working with Rev. Burns. We had actually scheduled with her a few months prior, but decided to hold off for a while. When we were finally ready, we provided a short week-of notice for our wedding date, then had to change the date again because we wanted to include photography and needed a date that it would not rain. Rev. Burns was friendly and professional even with our last minute adjustments. I still do not know why my husband was so anxious to be married so soon, but in any case, Rev. Burns worked with us as we let her know what we envisioned for our private... -

Amy Sent on 10/03/2018Rev. Burns officiated our simple civil ceremony on September 7, 2018 at the DC War Memorial. She provided a script ahead of time that we were encouraged to edit as desired. She incorporated our edits without question and suggested the placement of two poems that we wished to be read during the ceremony. I spoke with Rev. Burns one time and we met her as a couple the week before the ceremony. She was punctual to our meeting and to the ceremony. She has a great sense of humor and style! The ceremony turned out just as we had planned and it was just what we had intended. Rev. Burns took care of all the official paperwork afterwords. I would highly recommend Rev. Burns.
