We decided to get an officiant at the last minute, and we are so grateful that we did! Eileen stepped up to the plate and helped our ceremony start on time! She sent us the full ceremony script and let us change things the night before! She was great to communicate with and made our ceremony fly by perfectly.

Eileen was wonderful to work with and helped coordinated all the details from the ceremony to the end of the reception. Pearce was our officiante and coordinator and the day wouldn't have been as smooth as it was without him. He was always right there when we needed him and will to help answer and coordinate anything we needed. We received a lot of compliments regarding the ceremony and Pearce played a major role in that.

Eileen is truly an exceptional individual. She dedicates herself to understanding your needs and the unique aspects of your love story, which allows her to create a beautiful and personalized wedding experience. I wholeheartedly recommend her. Her kindness and attention to detail made our day incredibly special and memorable. Witnessing her emotional involvement during the ceremony spoke volumes about her passion; she is simply the best.

Our initial meeting was fantastic and left us glowing. However, after that, communication was awful! I emailed a simple question over, and was told that they could not respond to it because they were focusing on other weddings.... it would have taken two seconds to answer, but fine. Then comes our wedding and we did not get the script until the day before, and after our planner was hounding them for it. The event went very smoothly and I have no complaints about that, but after the wedding I had to reach out about something and dealt with the same communication issue.
Vendor response 09/25/2024
We understand there are many details to attend to and emails to respond to leading up to a...
wedding. Defining and explaining what to expect from our services is important and discussed at the first meeting.
Your wedding was over a year ago, and we remember it being a happy, lovely day. We went back to our email correspondence to see what we missed. We found that what we defined and discussed at our first meeting was right on track.
We met with you on June 27, 2023, and promptly emailed a meeting follow-up and contract the next day. As promised, we sent our “reminder” email on August 10, more than one month before your wedding, and wrote and sent your ceremony on September 12th, several days before your wedding, which was exactly what we discussed and defined in our contract.
We promptly responded to your text when we were busy at a wedding to let you know that we would get back to you. We have no correspondence from your planner requesting a copy of your ceremony script. That, actually, doesn’t make sense. We have met and worked with many planners and, as planners ourselves, have met and worked with many Officiants. None have ever asked us to send them the ceremony script, and we, as planners, would never ask an Officiant to send us a couple’s ceremony. We write our ceremonies based on personal conversations we’ve had with each couple, and the lovely process of writing and editing the ceremony is always just between us and them.
We are happy that you felt your “event went very smoothly, and I have no complaints about that.”

We knew from the beginning of our wedding planning process that we wanted a personal ceremony with religious elements incorporated into it, and that’s exactly what Eileen and Kata did. We originally spoke to Eileen, who was going to be our officiant, but when she fell ill before our wedding day, Kata stepped in. Let me tell you, they were like twins: How kind they were, how professional they were, and how quick on their feet they were to make sure we had such a wonderful ceremony. Down the Aisle is a very trustworthy team to work with! Kata did such an amazing job and brought a sense of calmness and peace to our wedding day.
During the ceremony, Kata stepped aside for our personal vows, whispered to us to grab each other's hands when we let go after our readings, and worked alongside our string quartet, our dj and the Waldenwoods staff to make sure our ceremony went off without a hitch. Prior to the day, we mentioned to Eileen that we were going to do a pinky promise during the ceremony, just as a heads up. To our surprise, when we received the script, she incorporated that pinky promise directly into our declaration of intent. It was such a sweet surprise, and we knew from the moment we read it that we needed to keep it in the script.
We received so many wonderful comments about how personal and touching our ceremony was. There were happy tears, laughter and love from our guests and that is because of the wonderful staff at Down the Aisle Ceremonies. We can’t thank Kata enough for being there as a wonderful officiant, Eileen for her beautiful scriptwriting and the Down the Aisle team for everything they did to make our wedding ceremony so meaningful. I would highly recommend! 10/10 :) Adam & Rachel, June 8, 2024 ,Waldenwoods

Absolutely nothing makes us happier than knowing that we played a small role in creating a...
beautiful wedding day memory for you! We understand that it takes a team to pull off a fabulous wedding, and working with the other vendors leading up to, during, and after the ceremony is exciting, AND we love it!
Thank you for understanding when I fell ill and was unable to be there for you. I was 100% confident that Kata would give you the attention and happy energy that you deserved on your wedding day! She loved being there for both of you! I am so grateful to have the MOST amazing people on Team Down The Aisle.
From our first meeting, we could not help but notice the beautiful energy of love and excitement you felt for each other and your future together. Yours is certain to be a lifetime of joy and adventure! Eileen + Kata

When we first met Eileen we had a 2 hour meeting with her about all of the details the services would provide. She was very friendly and welcoming. She told us about getting to read the script early, customizing it to whatever we'd need. Fast forward to the week of the wedding, we still didn't have a finalized script. Email communication seems to be a bit of an issue as you either get no response or you have to send multiple emails. Eileen ended up getting sick for rehearsal which happens, but we never got confirmation that she'd be fully out for the wedding day. Kata was good during the wedding with helping with nerves, however, we definitely needed some more practice with the script. After the wedding we did reach out to email them regarding changing last name etc., as Eileen said they offer those services. No response. For the price they charged us, you would think they'd be more than willing to help.
Vendor response 09/25/2024
On the rare occasion, an unavoidable situation arises, and we are unable to be there for a...
couple. We understand that this may create unwanted worry for them. When we first meet a couple, we explain that we/Down The Aisle works as a team and we all fully realize the significance and beauty of a wedding day. If necessary, any of us are absolutely HAPPY to step in and help each other out. We love what we do and want our couples to have the very best wedding day experience and memories. That has and will always be our priority. Unfortunately, health issues caused me to step back from a handful of weddings this season. I've never been more grateful to have such an amazing team that is there for each other and our couples.
Kata received many lovely compliments from your family and friends. Your venue coordinator was so impressed they put us/Down The Aisle on their preferred vendor list and have since sent us many couples. So we were surprised, a bit confused, and sad to read your words. We wish you nothing but the best and a lifetime of love and happiness. Eileen + Kata

We hired Down The Aisle for wedding Day Of Coordination & Officiant services. From our very first meeting, Eileen and her team were professional, super friendly, and incredibly helpful. Eileen wrote (and Officiated) a beautiful ceremony… it will always be one of our favorite memories of our day. She and her Day of Coordination team, Pearce & Kata, were BEYOND valuable to us!!! We floated through our day without a worry. It was incredibly comforting and reassuring knowing they were by our side addressing, managing and resolving any concerns, questions or needs we had. Another thing we truly appreciated was their interaction with EVERYONE we hired; our photographer, DJ, florist… Down The Aisle knew when and where our team of vendors needed to be at every moment of the day, communicated important details, created and provided a timeline so everyone felt confident and prepared. It was amazing! To wrap it up, we LOVED working with Down The Aisle! ❤️❤️❤️

My husband and I are incredibly thankful for Pearce. I was just going through our wedding photos from our wedding back in June, and all the emotions of the day came back to me. I’m still in awe by how special our ceremony was, and this has so much to do with Pearce. Pearce wrote the most beautiful, moving, and powerful ceremony script for our special day. I cannot believe how much care was put into it. Pearce had an energy that was calming, but what stood out to me the most was how he seemed to have a deep respect for the sacred bond of love. I didn’t get to know Pearce beyond him being our officiant, but I feel like I know his heart now, and I have to say, he was made to do this. Since our wedding, I’ve told so many people that I never expected the officiant to be one of the most memorable parts of my wedding day, but it’s true! Any couple who is lucky enough to work with Pearce should consider themselves blessed. I know we do. Thank you so much, from the bottom of our hearts, Pearce. We will never forget how incredible you made our wedding ceremony. Abi & David

Pearce, Cloe and the Down the Aisle team were a delight. They were very thoughtful and helped create the joy and romance we envisioned last Saturday!
Thank you for removing a significant amount of stress by being our day of coordinator. They rolled with the changes that mother nature brought to our wedding and the suggestions given by Pearce and the website were instrumental in achieving beyond what we hoped for our special day !

We thought we could take care of everything ourselves… we were wrong!! As our wedding day approached, we started feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to coordinate all the vendors we hired and the mountain of details that needed addressing. We had already hired Down The Aisle for Officiant services and added their Day Of Coordination service two months before our wedding. Best decision ever!
Eileen, Pearce, and the entire Down The Aisle team are all amazing, experienced professionals. They were calm, organized, proactive, and thought of things we hadn’t considered. They worked so smoothly with our vendors, coordinated and created a timeline so everyone knew exactly what and when everything was happening, and so much more. AND… our ceremony was absolutely perfect! We loved it, and so did our guests. We received SO MANY lovely comments. Best day ever! Thank you! Abby + Mike ❤️

Eileen and her team were invaluable to us! From our very first meeting, until the last song of the evening, Down The Aisle was the support we needed more then we even imaged. They are experienced, super friendly and worked with all of our vendors to pull off what we know call "the N+E wedding extravaganza". Their Day Of Coordination service was a life-saver for so many, many reason. On our wedding day, we felt like we had our own wedding concierge. Eileen also wrote (and Officiated) the most beautiful ceremony. We can’t stop smiling. Do we recommend Down The Aisle??? Yes, yes, and yes! ❤️

I was so excited to have a planner until I actually had a planner. Eileen, the OWNER, should be embarrassed.
The first email she sends out, she has my fiancé's name wrong. Way to be attentive to detail. Thought I'd brush that one off but not a great way to begin. Then, when she sent out the detailed timeline, wrong. Photographers had to remind her of MY timeline.
Rehearsal day - Calls out the wrong names to line up for the processional. Again, attention to detail. Very annoying to hear. Sounded surprised when hearing we were both only children, when I said it THE VERY FIRST meeting. Again, DETAILS.
Wedding day - The table set up, wrong. Eileen officiated, she was stumbling over her words and did better the day before. A million questions asked that should have been asked during the process or that was told and had to be repeatedly told again. She had my friend like a little rabbit doing things for her and to the point that Eileen offered her a job.
This company needs to do better at being prepared and making brides feel like they are the only wedding they have that weekend. My wedding probably was the only one but Eileen also made a point to mention going out to the lake with her family and making a trip out of my wedding location. Leave that behind when you go to work. She seemed very scatter brained and everyone in my bridal party noticed. Everyone was asking me if she came along with the VENUE and if i had a venue coordinator mixed up with an actual wedding coordinator!!!!!! I was embarrassed to say NO! My mothers felt like their day was taken from them from the amount of extra work they did.
I would never recommend this company to anyone.
Vendor response 07/20/2023
Our goal is that ALL of our couples walk away on cloud nine. 🧡 Leading up to this wedding...
, we knew it would be a challenge. As Wedding Day Of Coordinators, we can only do our job well if the couple informs us of their needs. We prompt them to provide specifics, give them checklists to complete, walk them through what they may need from us, ask for floor diagrams, specific table set-up needs, contact information and names of their vendors, wedding party... When information is not provided, we find ourselves in a "let's do the best we can" situation. And we did… as did the other vendors who also worked so hard as a team to pull off a beautiful wedding for them. Many of us arrived earlier and stayed later than contracted. We supported each other and helped each other through a challenging day. We all left feeling proud of what we accomplished. We wish you both the very best and hope you can look back on your day and find some happy memories. One last thing, this event was outside the area we normally service; we drove hours to be there for them, and we're excited and happy to do so! And yes, we stayed a few days longer to enjoy the beauty of Lake Michigan. No shame in that. 🧡

Eileen also handled all of the little details and made it so we had very little to stress or worry about for our big day. I could not recommend this team enough!

Where do I begin? I would have been lost on our Wedding day without Eileen and her team. The number one tip my girlfriends gave me is hire a day of coordinator for the day of, and boy am I glad that I did!!
Eileen hopped in the drivers seat for us a few weeks leading up to the wedding (helping me sort through some vendor snafu's) took charge (and not to mention drove a long way) for our Rehearsal Dinner, and then handled EVERYTHING and I mean EVERY last detail, vendor and item needed on our big day. All I had to do was sit back relax and get ready. Oh my gosh am I so glad we had her!! Everything the day of went off without a hitch (or even if there were hitches, I didn't know about them and was in bliss as Eileen took care of it all!!)
Even more spectacular than the day of/night before coordination, were her officiant services. My now Husband and I wanted something extremely personal, sweet, and memorable (without being too long) and Eileen delivered. She made the ceremony SO special and SO custom to us, our relationship, our vows and brought our vision to life. She remembered so many details I told her a year and a half prior that she wove into our ceremony - we loved it! She spoke with such love, care, comfort and passion and was the perfect person to help lead us into marital bliss.
The cherry on top is that she took care of the marriage license and sent me a follow up for changing my name. I loved that and it kept me up to speed with my to-do's when returning home from the Honeymoon.
Eileen - you made our ceremony so special and we received so many compliments on it!!! We cannot sing your praises enough.

Working with Eileen was one of the best choices we made when planning our wedding. She was our coordinator and officiant. She brought an incredible energy to her work and always made us feel like the priority. She helped us create a personal and beautiful ceremony that our guests could not stop talking about. She and her team had absolutely everything under control during the day, allowing us to simply enjoy the day she helped us plan. If you want your wedding to be perfect, you should work with Eileen.

Amazing! My wedding was one of the best days of my life and it’s al because of Eileen and her team. My ceremony was beautiful and through the whole process Eileen was so friendly and knowledgeable. We hired her as a day of coordinator as well and I’m so glad we did. Eileen and her team handled the little bumps the occurred during the wedding day, and I (the bride) didn’t find out about any of them until the morning after, because they were handled so well! Honestly, if no one told me about any of them I wouldn’t have even noticed. Hire her and her team!

We worked with Eileen during the planning process and Pierce was our officiant the day of. Eileen was great to work with and helped us out when we experienced an issue getting our marriage license. She also did a great job communicating with me and my mom. My mom was VERY stressed about the ceremony and Eileen managed to address her concerns while also not giving away too much about the ceremony beforehand. We only met Pierce at the rehearsal but he did a wonderful job at the rehearsal and the day of. We had many people tell us that it was the most beautiful ceremony they had ever been to and Down the Aisle made it happen.

We used Eileen as our officiant and day-of coordinator and she was AMAZING to work with! She and her team helped keep the day on track and set up the extras we had for cocktail hour and the reception. We also used her as our officiant and the ceremony was great- short and personal. We used her "Legacy of Love" instead of a unity candle/sand and it is the best first tradition for us as a married couple. She handled contacting vendors, creating a day-of timeline, gave us task checklists, and ran the rehearsal. I felt so at ease knowing that Eileen was taking care of all of the little things so I knew that nothing was missed. Thank you!!

Eileen gave us an absolutely lovely wedding ceremony! She was so easy and fun to plan with and told our story perfectly. Eileen also assisted us with day of coordinating, which made our day seamless. My husband and I were truly impressed with Down the Aisle Ceremonies and are beyond grateful for Eileen's guidance and support throughout this process. We had an amazing time on our wedding day and couldn’t have done it with out her!

Eileen planned our entire “tiny wedding” and it could not have been more perfect. She gave us many options for unity ceremonies and included everything we wanted during our wedding with less than 2 weeks notice! She found us an amazing venue, photographer, florist for our bouquet and boutonniere, and an AMAZING tiny wedding cake. This pandemic has had me stressed in so many aspects and I had no idea how to begin to plan a wedding not knowing when to even plan and thinking about having to postpone once everything was set... Down the aisle ceremonies made everything so simple and stress free. The entire team is amazing! They even set us up live stream so we didn’t have to leave anyone out even though we could have very few guests :) I wouldn’t change a thing! They are “simply the best”!

Eileen wrote our ceremony, which was so lovely and beautiful. Kata performed the ceremony day of and was just excellent, she was helpful, kept us on track and made sure everything went perfectly. They were both great to work with throughout the entire process, you can tell they really love the work that they do! Highly recommend.

Having Eileen was the highlight of our little wedding!
We reached out with less than 10 days to go, however, the Down The Aisle Ceremony Team was nothing but accommodating.
Eileen gave us guidance and advice on how to make our tiny ceremony more special. By working with us and learning about us, she made sure our wedding was personal, intimate, and unforgettable for us and for our guests.
There are not enough stars to describe how we feel about her services.

We chose Eileen with Down the Aisle Ceremonies for our Officiant and I can confidently say that this was one of the best decisions we could've made in order to make our ceremony everything we'd hope it would be and more. Eileen took care of it all and completely lifted any stress away, I didn't have to think about anything! The script that she wrote for our ceremony still gives me chills when thinking about it. Our Ceremony was nothing short of a fairytale and I owe it all to Eileen.

We hired Eileen as our officiant and day of coordinator for our September wedding. She also coordinated our wedding rehearsal. My husband and I knew after our first meeting with her that she would be a perfect fit. She was personable and made us feel completely at ease. Throughout the process she was easy to work with, dedicated, and organized. She was always available to answer a question or address a concern via email or phone. She took the time to get to know us and incorporated our love story into our ceremony. She prepared a beautiful ceremony that was individual to my husband and I, there was not a dry eye in the audience. If you are looking for an officiant who can speak into your soul, she is the one for you. On the day of our wedding she was moving a mile a minute making sure every detail was perfect. She worked well with all of our vendors and was forceful when she needed to be in order to get things done. I cannot tell you how many of our guests came to us and raved about Eileen and Down the Aisle. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a high quality officiant and day of coordinator.

Eileen did a fantastic job of getting to know our story and she provided so many options for elements to include in our ceremony. We had more than a few guests ask if she was a friend because she did that great of a job personalizing our ceremony. She was extremely professional, organized, and definitely took charge during the rehearsal to make sure we all knew what was going on and we were all comfortable with it. Even when she wasn't sure of some of the wording we wanted to use, she made sure to get our feedback right before the ceremony so that it was accurate and what we wanted. We had so many compliments on the ceremony and it was lovely working with Eileen and we definitely recommend her officiating services!

Eileen and team did an outstanding job with our wedding coordination and officiating! We originally hired Down the Aisle for our wedding officiant, but after letting our original coordinator go Eileen was more than accommodating to step in and help with the planning/coordinating of our wedding. With very little time between hiring her and our wedding, Eileen was able to pull everything together and we don't think the wedding would have went as amazing as it did without her! The script for our ceremony was so beautiful, resulting in all of our guest sharing a tear or many (which we wanted). Eileen was such a joy to work with and our day was perfect with her help!!!

Eileen was a truly special piece of our wedding. We met with several other officiants and we knew immediately that Eileen was the perfect person to officiate our wedding.
She was interested in us, and in our love story. She LOVES her job and loves love; it truly shows. She made our ceremony unique to us and made sure that everything about the ceremony ran smoothly. Beyond happy that we chose her for our special day, because she cared about the little details and wanted to make sure we were happy <3

Couples in the Metro Detroit area, I can't recommend Eileen with Down The Aisle Ceremonies enough. This exceptionally kind woman literally moved her vacation so she could officiate our ceremony, which shows that she's both easy to work and unbelievably flexible. She also wrote the most beautiful ceremony script for our big day, which moved both of us to tears when we read it. Eileen is a lovely human being and professional, and we would work with her again in a heartbeat. Thank you for everything, Eileen!

Eileen was so fantastic to work with! She is so sweet and passionate about what she does, and it definitely shows in her work. When we first met Eileen she was so interested in hearing our story, listened to our thoughts and feelings about what we were looking for, and made us feel comfortable that she would able to give us the ceremony we desired. Eileen was very helpful with providing different ceremony styles, readings, and ideas. She was always available for questions, and never made me feel as if my concerns were not important. During the rehearsal she gave great directions, and helped to hammer out important details that I had not thought of. Thanks to Eileen our big day was perfect! The ceremony was everything we could have wanted. I am so happy that we found Down the Aisle, and had the opportunity to work with Eileen. She was also very prompt with submitting our marriage license and providing us with documents we would need after the marriage was legalized. Give Eileen a call, she is worth it!!

My wife and I have nothing but good things to say about Down The Aisle Ceremonies! Our initial meeting was with Eileen. She asked all the right questions in a way that made us feel not only comfortable, but we loved the she was genuinely interested in our story. She covered every question we had and MANY details that we did not even consider! Eileen wrote our ceremony. Jeanie, an Officiate on her team, was the one who directed and guided us through our rehearsal and Officiated our ceremony. She was perfect! We left our rehearsal feeling 100% at peace and excited that our ceremony was going to be amazing! AND it was! We highly recommend Down The Aisle Ceremonies. They were worth every penny!

Eileen & her team made everything about our day BETTER. We knew from the first 15 minutes of our meeting that we were going to hire her to Officiate our ceremony and another 30 minutes in, we hired her and her team for Day Of Coordinator services. Our ceremony was beautifully written and we will never forget how perfect it was! Down The Aisle Ceremonies took care of pulling all of the details together, vendor and otherwise! There were many unexpected things that popped up, most we were not prepared for. They did not miss a beat and our wedding day was, without a doubt, even more beautiful because of Eileen & her team!

We met with Eileen about a year out from our wedding date and spent an hour with her telling her our story and what vision we had for our wedding ceremony. Eileen was the sweetest person and we loved her energy and just knew she was the officiant we wanted to share our special day. Throughout the entire process Eileen was there for us with any questions we needed. The week before the wedding we received our ceremony script and it was perfect - NOT one change was requested. She described our relationship perfectly and we immediately felt the love. We received so many compliments on how well written the script was. We would recommend Eileen to anyone looking for the most perfect officiant to celebrate their big day.
Eileen, thank you for everything! We are forever grateful for you!

Eileen did a fabulous job officiating our wedding! We initially 'met' her over FaceTime as we were planning our wedding from out of state, and she took the time to introduce herself and get to know us. We knew right away she would be a great addition to our day! The entire planning process was simple and straightforward, and Eileen was always very prompt in answering any questions we had. She delivered the first draft of our ceremony about a week before our wedding and accepted all of our suggested changes without question. We wish we could have received the draft a little earlier as that week was very busy for us, but I'm sure she was also busy since it was high wedding season. We had a small wedding with no bridal party so we opted for no rehearsal, and that worked out just fine. Eileen arrived to our ceremony early, introduced herself to and coordinated with our other vendors and everything went perfectly! Highly recommend!

She took the time to get to know us and it really showed in our ceremony. Eileen did a great job writing it and Jamie delivered it flawlessly. We got so many complements from our guests afterwards saying it was spot on and so unique. Jamie really went above and beyond. We had a cute marriage form we wanted filled out by her and instead she took it after our rehearsal and had someone she knew fill it out using calligraphy! We were so glad we chose Jamie as our officiant and would recommend her to everyone!

Eileen is amazing, plain and simple. She is so upbeat and fun to work with, and she genuinely LOVES this job, which means her energy radiates through her personality and into your ceremony. We first met with a video chat so she could interview us, which was a great way to also interview her. You will find that not only is she very detail-oriented, but the way that she speaks also captivates people. We met with a few officiants before Eileen and, not to be rude, but hygiene was often an issue when meeting with other people. Either they were unkempt or sloppy and we knew the officiant was going to be in all of our pictures on our wedding day (and the focal point of our ceremony), so it was imperative that we worked with someone who made it a point to dress and appear professionally - and Eileen most certainly does that! I know we weren't the only couple who worries about that, so I want to make sure my review says as much to help you all out!
I cannot say enough about how great Eileen was for us, how much kindness she showed us, and how wonderful our ceremony was. She obviously practices many times because it was absolutely flawless. If you can book Eileen for your wedding, I highly recommend doing so - you certainly will NOT be disappointed!
