My journey into officiating weddings started in 2005 when friends asked me to preside over their ceremony. I became ordained with the Church of Spiritual Humanity and soon I was being asked by family and friends to perform their ceremonies as well. I found I had a knack for finding what makes each couple unique and weaving it into a truly one of a kind ceremony. It dawned on me that I had a business on my hands and made my services available to all. I came up with Celebrity Officiant because I feel every couple should be made to feel like the stars of their own wedding.

Valerie was an incredible officiant for our wedding, she was everything we could’ve wanted and more. Valerie took the time to meet with us months before our wedding to get to know ...
us, learn about our interests, our life together, and what would make our wedding ceremony special. She was very diligent in listening to what we absolutely did and did not want in a ceremony, and wrote up a very well thought-out, custom script for us. She allowed us the flexibility to add or remove whatever we wanted from the script until it was perfect for all of us. She even took the time to drive out to our venue the night prior to our ceremony to made she we perfected everything at our rehearsal dinner.
When it came to our wedding day, we unfortunately were hit with massive rainstorms despite planning on having an outdoor ceremony. When it came time for us make a change to an indoor ceremony, Valerie could not have been more helpful. She was calm, cool and collected despite the mild chaos of the situation. She took complete charge of ensuring that we had everything we needed, that our guests were directed to the right location, and that our ceremony went off without a hitch. And it did, despite all of the last minute changes, it was perfect! Valerie is a true professional when it comes to preparedness and delivering an incredible ceremony, and for that, we could not be more grateful. If you need an officiant in the Lehigh Valley Area, look no further!

ony that not only we loved but our guests did too; everyone was moved to tears. She sits down with the couples and help curate a ceremony that is very fitting to them. We really felt like our ceremony was the perfect representation of us! She also arrived plenty early for rehearsal and for the big day to prepare herself with all the details and making sure everything ran smoothly. After the wedding, she sent the signed marriage license out for us as well. Shortly after, we received our marriage certificate in the mail. She really made the process so smooth and we are so glad that we chose her to marry us!

From the very first moment we spoke with Valerie, we knew we were in the best hands. She brought such warmth, calm, and genuine joy to the entire process. Valerie took the time to ...
truly get to know our story, our personalities, and what mattered most to us, and she crafted a ceremony that was so perfectly us.
One of the most unforgettable moments was when she included our sweet dog Dawkins in the ceremony. In the beginning of our ceremony she looked down at her and asked, “Dawkins, do I have your blessing for Daddy to marry Mommy?” It was such a genuine, heartfelt moment that had everyone smiling! It meant the world to us that she acknowledged how important she is in our lives and made her feel like part of the love story.
Valerie, thank you for making one of the most important parts of our day feel effortless, unforgettable, and full of love. You are a gem, and we are so grateful you were part of our wedding!

Where to even start! I came across Valerie online via celebrity officiant's page. I sent a quick message and Valerie instantly connected with me. She set up a meeting where she rea...
lly talked with my husband and I and got to know us. We were nervous but Valerie is one of those people that really makes you feel comfortable. She was able to take what she knew about us from that meeting and write a beautiful ceremony. We did not want to do public vows and she was able to make a ceremony that was short but really tailored to our love story. We had so many compliments from guests. People asked if I wrote the ceremony myself because there were so many unique details about my husband and I, and my answer was no I just have an Officiant that really took the time to get to know us. Valerie is someone I would really recommend to couples who wants their ceremony to personalized. She would send us her draft and we only asked for around three edits. She was able to promptly make those changes, no questions asked. I really loved working with her and she created such a fairytale wedding. If you are on the fence I recommend just booking a meeting with her. One conversation with Valerie is all you need to know that she is special and wonderful at what she does

t was also important to us that we were merging two families - combined we have three adult children, their spouses, and four grandchildren, all of who were included in the wedding. We met with Valerie who listened attentively, asked questions, and gave suggestions. Valerie came up with the perfect reading to summarize our relationship. I cried happy tears when I read it! The wedding ceremony could not have represented our history, relationship, and commitment more beautifully or perfectly. Thank you again for making our day extra special!!!
