BeLoved Ceremony

ny at her beautiful home in the mountains surrounded by our two daughters. And on her own birthday nonetheless. She was kind, efficient, witty, funny, and made sure to include everything we wanted her to include within the ceremony and our vows. She helped to make our special day so extraordinarily special. We would highly recommend Susan for any one looking for an amazing, thoughtful, truly talented & passionate about what she does kind of officiant for their own special big day. Thank you again Susan for everything!

utiful ceremony that felt totally customized to us a couple. She gave us ideas of different ceremonies to include and we chose to include a sand ceremony, which was wonderful! She was able to give us ideas when we needed guidance as well as the option to customize any part of the ceremony. ALL of our guests commented on what a beautiful ceremony it was and that it was totally "us".

utiful words that really hi-lighted how special our wedding ceremony was and involved the people who came to support us. She even respected our wish to not have a religious ceremony and instead incorporated some Celtic traditions for us. We are beyond grateful Susan was a part of our big day.

a ceremony that was beautiful and very "us". We loved her suggestion to do a love letter box and expect it will be a cherished part of our marriage. Susan walked us through everything so that we could focus on what was important- being present as we committed to each other in marriage. We were planning our entire ceremony from several hours away, and it was a blessing to know that everything was in Susan's capable hands. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a special, love filled ceremony.

compassed everything we wanted and guided us through the details. Everyone that attended commented on her participation. We highly recommend her! Thank you, Susan!

and executed it flawlessly! We could not recommend her enough! :)

roduction where we were able to refine the ceremony elements to best fit our relationship and the celebration of our marriage. Susan took the time to ask questions about us and our preferences before diving into the "typical" ceremony content she has ready to use and brought it to life with what she learned about us. We ultimately used a lot of her "typical" content with some customization that really suited us. Our guests gave us tremendous feedback about the delivery of the ceremony and shared that it really "captured the essence" of our relationship and the celebration. We would highly recommend.

n such short notice. She made our ceremony special to us and our specifications.

and time, and met us at our special location in Montreat. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a special and individual marriage ceremony.

was open to my input and changes. Also not getting to do a rehearsal, it was super helpful and comforting with how often she went through the ceremony over the phone and emails to make sure it was what we wanted. The day was perfect and I am so grateful for Susan, BeLoved Ceremony for her calming, encouraging and peaceful energy she brought us. Plus to be so gracious with our 7 rambunctious kids made it that more serene.

changed a thing!

remony and we could do what we wanted, but she helped guide us to make sure we had thoughtful moments throughout which made it so very special for everyone there (the ideas that we did go with- the love letter box, the wine exchange and tokens for each other's parents were so great, and we never would have thought of those on our own. We didn't want anything cheesy and these weren't- they were awesome, and the ceremony was a perfect 25 or so minutes). She was very responsive to phone calls and emails leading up to the day, and she had no issues at all with minor changes or additions to the ceremony right up to go-time. You can truly be as hands-on or as hands-off as you like, and Susan will nail it for you. We have received so many compliments from guests saying that Susan was wonderful, and that our ceremony was unlike any they'd seen. She even handled the mailing of the marriage license for us so we didn't have to worry about that before leaving for our honeymoon (you only have ten days!). I would absolutely recommend Susan if you want a ceremony that is incredibly special. She is assertive, confident and so cool, and I can't imagine that day without her.

arrived early and my husband said she had a very calming presence about her which I 100% agree with. Highly recommend!

perfectly and made the whole ceremony intimate and serene. If you are looking to elope in the Asheville area, Susan, with Beloved Ceremony, will take the stress out of your day and allow you to enjoy your special moment!

imate and lovely. She is warm and kind. I highly recommend her!

remony for us, and our family even commented how unique and special it was. :) Put your trust in Susan to develop a wedding ceremony that is sure to be remembered and talked about by your guests for years to come!

her over the phone. She was there for all my questions, even though we lived out of state. I am forever thankful to her. A remarkable woman- a must-have to complete your special day.

flected our love and beliefs perfectly. She wants the ceremony to be exactly what you want and will even let you make changes to it the day of your wedding if you want. Her voice is very calm and soothing and she is a poet with her words. My husband's parents have passed away and she made a special effort to honor them during the ceremony and it meant so much to us! We can't say enough kind things about her and would definitely recommend her to anyone that wants a relaxing, heartfelt ceremony.

spected. I can't recommend her highly enough -- you won't regret booking her for your wedding!

was the best officiated wedding they had been to. Susan has a beautiful way with words. Many thanks to her for making our day one to remember!

rent beliefs, Susan was able to help us through with wording our ceremony to fit what we wanted to express to each other. She was able to bring all of our thoughts and feelings into words, then shared them with our guest. Though we had not met Susan in person before our ceremony, she made us feel like we have been friends for many years and spoke from her heart about us. All of guests were taken by how beautiful the ceremony was and how Susan delivered the words and meaning of the ceremony to us. Her elegant voice and heartfelt love that she expressed during the ceremony was felt by all. She was amazing and I am so happy that we were able to have Susan perform our wedding ceremony. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a relaxed, heartfelt and loving ceremony. Susan is very easy to work with and available to help anytime you need it.

th as a couple. ❤️

d the location. She drove an hour so we could get married in one of our favorite places just off the parkway. It turned out beautifully. Extremely meaningful and memorable. We hope to have Susan renew our vows in the future!

ly recommend her based on how professional and warm she is. We felt very supported during our planning process and were extremely pleased with the ceremony and how Susan made our day just that much more special. We highly recommend her for her attention to detail and how she makes every moment of the ceremony meaningful.

re of getting everything ready on the wedding day. She is very well spoken and easy for all your guests to hear! I would highly recommend her to officiate your wedding!

ultiple calls with us way in advance before the ceremony and was very helpful while we were planning our ceremony as well. You could tell that she was prepared and loved what she does. She brought out all of the emotions in the ceremony from everyone that attended. My friends and family spent so much time after the wedding asking me about Susan because she made such a wonderful impression on everyone!

away. We had so many kind words from guests about how they’d never heard such a unique and couple-centered ceremony which meant the world to us. She met with us just before the wedding ceremony to go over our license and add any final changes. We appreciated her poise, professionalism, and accessibility throughout the process. We will always have a special place in our hearts for this woman—she made the day absolutely perfect!

me obvious that it had to be her. Chris and I were both in tears by the end of the conversation, we were so happy (I'm not sure if she even knew that, but we were). She gave us many options for the format, the language involved, and even had a wonderful idea that Chris and I made a part of our wedding with what she calls "the love letter box". We wrote a letter to each other, sealed them, and during the ceremony, placed them in a beautiful wooden box we purchased. On our first anniversary, we will ......well, just ask her....she'll tell you. She's simply amazing. Thank you again, Susan, for making our day so special and beautiful.

ny options to choose from for a ceremony so that you could make it truly your own for your wedding. I was very impresssed and appreciated working with Susan, and she was a part of a group of many people who made my day wonderful.

g feel as though it would be just perfect, and it surely was. My partner and I wanted something that was personal, that spoke to our beliefs and values and didn't compromise on how beautiful the words spoken should be. We got every bit of that and more. Our ceremony was incredibly heartfelt and sounded as though it was spoken by someone that had known us for years. The number and emotion of the compliments we received from everyone were astounding. Susan moved most of our guests' to tears with the sheer elegance of what she said. We're so glad she was recommended to us and ecstatic with our decision to have her officiate our wedding. She's so accepting, kind, sweet, patient, and professional. I would imagine that any ceremony she officiates would reflect that, and she will always be my go-to recommendation for wedding ceremonies.

which was not an option for us. When Susan met us, we didn't know what to expect, but she laid out her entire plan for the ceremony, asking questions along the way to customize it to our liking. We wrote our own vows which she was happy to have us recite along with her, and we decided to do a love letter box and wine exchange. Being able to personalize our ceremony and use wording that was not religious, but would leave room for interpretation, really meant a lot to us. I had looked through many officiants' pages on Wedding Wire and was immediately drawn to the way Susan expressed herself. It was evident she had a wealth of experience and a deep passion for what she does. (Some officiants are part time, but this is Susan's full-time calling!) Our guests were very moved by what she had to say, and remarked that she held their attention throughout the ceremony. Aaron and I were brought to tears by her eloquence, and couldn't be happier that we chose Susan for our ceremony!
