Reverend Ari was one of my favorite vendors at our wedding. We were so nervous about finding an officiant since my husband and I are both agnostic and she was non-judgmental, incre...
dibly professional and so so wonderful. She is also hands down, the best officiant I've ever heard speak at a wedding! I am so so thankful we found her. She was incredibly easy to talk to and collaborate with! Building our ceremony was also very easy since she has so many configurations and ceremony types (romantic, friendship-based, modern, religious etc) that you can make a ceremony that really feels personal and tailored for you and your partner. She even made us a book to keep with our entire ceremony including our vows in it, which is such an amazing keepsake!! She is amazing and I'm so glad she officiated our wedding.
Rev. Ari was absolutely wonderful as our ceremony officiant! She provides several ceremony options to pick and choose from to build your own ceremony, and provides incredibly help...
ful feedback for when you are stuck or missing something. I loved that I was able to build my own ceremony with her rather than just have a standard that was already written. She was also so willing to adjust last minute for us when we decided to perform our actual nuptials at the rehearsal in front of a much smaller group of our closest friends and family as a surprise, which made both our rehearsal and wedding day even more special! There are only wonderful things that can be said about Ari and her services, and I would highly recommend anyone choose her to be your officiant, especially if you are having a non-traditional wedding!
Rev. Ari Gray did a great job.
She provides extensive materials to let you build your own wedding. You can choose a set option or mix and match as much as you like. You can eve...
n brig in your own materials. She also really prepares you at the rehearsal.
She did a fantastic job during the ceremony and since she was so detailed in the rehearsal, we knew exactly what to do and when. She is a great speaker and really infused the ceremony with meaning. It was so much better than the civil ceremony we would have gotten from a Justice of the Peace.
We're not religious and Ari was a great option for a meaningful ceremony without religion. I don't even think my religious family noticed there was no mention of God. All they said was how beautiful the ceremony was and how touching it was. Of course, there are also plenty of options with more religious ceremonies if that's what you want.
We highly recommend her!
Reverend Ari is wonderful! She listened to what we wanted, made no judgements, and everything turned out perfect. She made suggestions and gave us plenty of ceremony options. She i...
s super funny and entertaining, and she has a wealth of knowledge about traditions and cultural history. I would highly recommend her if you come from 2 different religious backgrounds or cultures.
Rev. Ari was great! She provides seven or eight different ceremonies, and you can pick the pieces of each one that you like and combine them into the ceremony that’s perfect for y...
ou. She is clearly very experienced in acting as an officiant and did a great job of giving everyone subtle cues on the day-of so that we remembered exactly what to do, even when we were nervous.
My husband and I did not want a strictly traditional ceremony and met with Rev. Ari to see if she might be a good fit for our wedding. We loved her right away; she was very knowled...
geable about the history of different wedding traditions and helped us find ceremony elements that fit with our backgrounds, beliefs, and what we wanted to show with our ceremony. She gave us a lot of options to customize our ceremony and make it special for us and our more traditional families. We loved working with her.
Rev. Ari was super friendly, and had lots of different suggestions for things we could include in our ceremony. As her business name suggests, she will help you construct the exact...
ceremony you wish to have. She writes her own ceremony wording and re-writes them on a very regular basis, and gave us about 8 different full ceremonies from which we picked our favorite parts. She had a wonderful idea for a special "roses to the moms" moment in the ceremony which was an unrehearsed surprise for our mothers. They were very touched !! Especially if you are working on appealing to an inter-failth (or in our case religious/non-religious) crowd, she can help you figure out how to create a ceremony that will be just right :) Our wedding was perfect and everyone complimented us on the ceremony.
