My partner and I finally decided to elope after having been together for decades. Our plan was to show up at City Hall, sign some papers, and it would be done and dusted. I was a little disappointed to learn that that our city did not have an officiant on staff in the City Clerk's office. It turned out that lack of a an on-staff JP was the best thing that could have happened.
While searching for a JP, I came across Hannah's website. Her "make it official" offering sounded like just what we were looking for. Hannah was marvelous. We had an initial consultation to nail down the where, when, and how of our ceremony. She was patient, knowledgeable, and made fantastic suggestions. The short timeframe we wanted was no problem for her. The last minute change in venue, again, no problem. She asked if we wanted any spiritual content in the ceremony, and when we said no, she was good with it. She was able to provide recommendations for a local photographer who also turned out to be awesome and just the person we needed. She patiently waited for us to finish writing our vows, printed them out for us to read to each other, and crafted the most beautiful, simple ceremony we could have hoped for. I honestly can't recommend Hannah enough. She will guide you, never push you, and truly help you create and execute what you as a couple want for your wedding day.
Hannah made the entire process of coordinating our ceremony so easy for us. She is incredibly knowledgeable in her field and is a great communicator. We had all our meetings via zoom and she was very accommodating with the time (has PM availability for those 9-5 folks). Hannah is personable as well as soft spoken, heartfelt, and adaptable. Our ceremony highlighted us perfectly according to all the information we shared with her about us. We got endless compliments on how beautifully written our ceremony was and how well spoken our officiant was. I would absolutely recommend Grace Ceremonies to future friends looking for an officiant in western MA.
Hannah was the best choice for an officiant for our wedding. She is polite, patient, organized, professional, and just wonderful at what she does. A good human. I am so grateful we chose her! She made our special night run smoothly, speaks and writes beautifully, and genuinely cares about what you want. Choose Grace Ceremonies.
Hannah was truly one of the highlights of our wedding process. We met with her for the premarital sessions and are so glad we did. She helped make the time leading up to our wedding feel special and intentional rather than just a whole lot of planning on top of our already busy lives. When it came to preparing for the ceremony, she helped my husband and I navigate our different perspectives, at times, as well as desire to create new/our own version of traditions from those previously in our family. Our guests still talk about how personal and fitting our ceremony was, and we entered our wedding day feeling prepared and present, knowing we were in great hands. Thank you Hannah for the most amazing wedding ceremony and such thoughtful personalization and care for detail (while completely taking them off our plates). She is truly the best and I couldn't recommend Grace Ceremonies more highly!
Reverend Hannah is straight out of a fairytale -- if you're looking for a dream wedding, there is no better person to make it a reality!
Throughout the process of planning our ceremony, Hannah was not merely our officiant: she was our guide, our confidant, and our anchor. My husband and I come from radically different backgrounds, and we presented Hannah with some rather unique challenges, but she approached each one of them with a grace (it's all right there in the name!) that soothed our nerves and ultimately brought us closer as a couple.
Hannah is also an artist. Our wedding ceremony was a masterpiece -- it really felt like a living work of art -- and we owe that to Hannah's diligence in her craft. She devoted so much time, thought, and creativity to working with us, I can scarcely imagine how she fits all the other couples in! Her devotion to her couples & mastery of her craft isn't only felt by those of us lucky enough to work with her -- it's felt by everyone present at the ceremony.
Our friends and family were captivated by Hannah. Everyone keeps asking: 'Where did you FIND this magical person?" And Hannah really is like something out of a fairytale! She brought that magic to our ceremony and everyone could feel it. This was exactly what we dreamed of most: to join our guests together in our love, in our joy. Hannah made this dream a reality!
I would be remiss if I failed to mention just a few more things:
*She stayed overtime with us at our on-site rehearsal (despite having a personal commitment to get to!) and took the time soothe our nerves & ensure that we worked through every detail before she left
*Also took time during our rehearsal to work closely with family/friends who were part of the ceremony
*Enchanted our closest family & friends with warm greetings & a personal touch
*Worked seamlessly with other vendors when necessary (and we were told by several of our other vendors that she was a "favorite" to work with!)
*Incredibly swift & thoughtful communication.
* Every part of the planning -- be it over email, Zoom, or in-person -- was so intimate, so personal, yet perfectly professional. I don't know how she does it... I suppose she was just born to do it!
I knew Hannah was "the one" when I saw that she also lost a parent at a young age. Hannah collaborated with us on all the ways we could incorporate my Mother's memory into our ceremony. She also took the time to help me (and my husband!) work through some difficult feelings the wedding planning had stirred in us. I will never forget the guidance she offered us, and how much peace it gave us on our wedding day -- and *to this day.* Hannah delivered a beautiful remembrance of my Mother as part of her wedding script, and my family could not be more thankful. We were all worried that we might not do "enough" to remember her, but Hannah gave us all more than enough!
We were also moved beyond words & straight to tears (of joy!) when we received a personalized wedding keepsake from Hannah just a few weeks after our ceremony. Who would have thought our most treasured wedding gift would come from our officiant? But that's just Hannah. She thinks of everything ;)
We are deeply grateful to Hannah for bringing her magic to our real-life fairytale of a wedding <3 If there is one decision you make about your upcoming wedding today, let it be Hannah. There is no wiser decision you could make!
Working with Hannah was a dream! She took our scattered ideas and created a beautiful, intimate, and thoughtful custom ceremony combining American and Indian traditions. We are so grateful we found her and cannot recommend her highly enough! It was a wonderful experience.
Rev. Hannah was amazing to work with. She was very thoughtful in helping us create a ceremony that was very personal. Many people thought she was a relative of ours (she is not), based on how well she seemed to know us and tell our story.
We were planning our ceremony across the country and Rev. Hannah was always able to be reached by Zoom, phone or email. From our first conversation, we knew she was the right person for our special day. She even sent us a special keepsake after our wedding day. We would highly recommend her for your special day!
From the first meeting with Hannah, we knew that she would make our ceremony very special for us and that is exactly what she did. She created a very special and meaningful ceremony and it felt like she had known us forever in the words she spoke. Our ceremony was everything we envisioned and more. The prep meeting the week before the wedding was very helpful in preparing us for the emotions and to remind us to be in the moment. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
My husband and I wanted something very small for our surprise elopement and Hannah was wonderful to work with! She's very caring, professional and easy to work with, and the ceremony was exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend her to anyone!
My husband and I decided to work with Hannah after attending a friend's wedding that she had designed the ceremony for. We were in awe at how beautifully the script was put together and the overall flow of the ceremony. We reached out to Hannah and worked with her over the course of about three months to design our ceremony. First of all, Hannah goes above and beyond to provide the support you need for the big day. Early on, she spent the time getting to know us as a couple and helped us think about what was important to us for the ceremony (vows, readings, music, etc). This process was also a wonderful opportunity for the two of us to reflect on our relationship as we prepared to get married. With this information, she wrote a lovely ceremony script that was a true reflection of our relationship and what we wanted to share with our guests that day. She took the time to get to know our officiant (a family member) and mentally prepared the three of us for the big day.
Our wedding was in Istanbul and we wanted to weave in both Turkish and American cultures to represent both of our backgrounds. Hannah helped tremendously in identifying how and when to account for these cultural differences (readings, certain phrases, etc). The result was honestly astounding. Our guests sobbed the entire time. Many of them said it was the most romantic wedding they had ever attended. Most of all, the ceremony truly captured our personalities as individuals and a couple. It helped our guests better understand our relationship and why this wedding meant so much to us. We honestly couldn't have dreamed up a better day.
The ceremony is the first big event in your wedding. It sets the tone for the rest of the evening and is an opportunity for you to share your love with your friends and family. The wedding planning process is extremely stressful and there's no way around that (anything that's that meaningful is bound to cause some anxiety). However, throughout the whole thing, Hannah's support made a huge difference in helping us feel calm and prepared for the big day. She is a true expert and will think of many details that will never cross your mind. She has a way with words that is difficult to describe. She prepares you with many example resources throughout the process and is generous with her time. To have someone to lean on during the planning is a huge blessing. If you're debating working with Hannah, stop right now. There are few things in life this important. I wholeheartedly recommend Hannah's services if you want to walk away from your wedding with memories you will cherish for the rest of your life.
Hannah coached my husband, me, and our chosen officiant through the process of creating a ceremony that I will never forget. She walked us through timelines, gave us concrete advice and samples, and asked us questions that helped prompt us to come up with our own ideas that made our ceremony our own and especially meaningful to us. She met with us several times for in-depth conversations, met with our officiant separately to help her prepare and feel confident, and was available to us for questions and concerns. I found it so helpful to have her look over our vows and offer edits and suggestions. I felt held through the process which I really needed. She went way above and beyond, and I would reach out to her for creating other sorts of ceremonies in the future as well. I feel so grateful to have found GraceCeremonies.
Choosing someone to marry us and officiate our wedding was not something my husband and I took lightly. While not extremely religious ourselves, our families come from different religious backgrounds and we wanted to honor both of our families in an authentic and meaningful way.
Within seconds of speaking with Hannah, we knew she was the person we wanted to stand up there with us. It's hard to describe, but Hannah has such a beautiful, calming presence that immediately makes you feel comforted and at ease. She is so thoughtful and took an enormous amount of time to get to know us as individuals, our story as a partnership, our families, and our hopes for our wedding and our life together.
Hannah blew us and all of our guests away during the ceremony. She so beautifully honored both of our families while bringing our love story to life. Her work is a true calling. We are still getting comments about how beautiful the ceremony was.
We can't thank Hannah enough for being so kind, professional, and thoughtful. She sent us a beautiful ceremony booklet with our vows and ceremony details that we read regularly. Thank you Hannah for supporting our love and being such a phenomenal human being! We adore you!
When it came down to choosing an officiant for our wedding - we had thoughts about asking someone close to us; like a friend or a family member but most of those people were already a part of our day in some way. So, when we began to think about hiring someone and only the best will do for such an important, love filled day. Hannah is truly the best in the business and she felt like part of the family as she officiated our ceremony so beautifully.
She is kind, warm and an open book - any questions or stressors we had, she welcomed them, talked through them with us and that helped so many details fall into place. She makes a big effort to get to know you, your love story, your family dynamic and everything in between before preparing your ceremony. Leading up to our wedding day, she helped us with vows, how to relax, reminders to breathe during the ceremony and numerous other details of the day. My fiancé said it best after our sit down meeting with Hannah - she has a calming presence and voice that makes you relax and smile.
We can’t thank her enough for being such an integral part of our wedding day. If you are on the fence about whether or not to hire a professional officiant - look no further, Hannah is best there is.
Hannah absolutely blew us away with helping us create the most perfect wedding ceremony. There were (happy) tears in our eyes from beginning to end, and it’s all thanks to her!
We had no idea where to begin when we started planning our Berkshires ceremony, and who to have officiate. We knew we wanted an outdoor ceremony without any religious elements, that centered on our love and the deep meaning of this commitment. We considered asking a friend or family member, but decided we wanted to try to find someone who had prior experience, so that the moment was sure to be as special as we wanted it to be. We found Hannah, and how lucky we are that we did!
From the moment we first met with Hannah, we knew she would bring our love to life in our wedding ceremony. We loved every step of the process, appreciating how much she really took the time to get to know us individually and as a couple. She let us take as much time as we wanted, thinking through our readings, the ceremony structure, the music, and of course our vows, guiding us along with each part.
The end result completely took our breath away – after vows that had us both crying, we had wedding guests coming up to us saying it was the most meaningful wedding ceremony they’d ever been to, and that they were crying right there along with us. Our wedding ceremony will forever be one of the most special moments of our life, and we have Hannah to thank for that.
Picking Hannah to officiate your wedding ceremony is choosing to elevate and prioritize what makes your love special – you absolutely won’t regret it. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, thank you Hannah!
Hannah was a joy to work with. She guided us not only through the day itself, details of timing, schedule, who stood where etc... much more than that. She got to know us in meetings before our big day. Helped us craft our own individual vows and made our ceremony really personal and intimate. Our guests raved about the ceremony afterwards- Hannah was phenomenal. We are thankful and were blessed to have her not only be a part of our day but a key component for the most important par of our day, the ceremony. Would highly recommend her.
Rev. Hannah officiated our small (fewer than 20 people) winter ceremony at the Inn on Boltwood and was great to work with! She made us feel comfortable and was really helpful in working with us to design a unique ceremony that was perfect for us. Afterwards, she sent a really thoughtful keepsake script of the ceremony.
Reverend Hannah is absolutely phenomenal and she was everything we needed and had hoped for! Initially I was having trouble finding an officiant available on our wedding date that we felt we could identify with to bring our non-religious ceremony to life. From the first day I spoke with Hannah, I had a good feeling about her and I knew she was the one for us. She worked with us every step of the way to create our ceremony exactly how we wanted it. She was patient and kind and even helped us keep our heads on straight when we had some last minute issues with our ceremony venue. I couldn't have been happier with Hannah marrying us and we are so lucky, and grateful that we found her.
Hannah married us this past May and we are so grateful that we used her for our officiant. From the very beginning, she was personable, genuine, and thoughtful. In all of our meetings with Hannah leading up to our ceremony, she was such a great listener and asked thoughtful questions, making us both feel completely heard and seen, creating trust and confidence in the process. Her suggestions were on point and helpful, while never feeling pushy with her own agenda for what our ceremony should look like. She was really attuned to who we are and what we wanted from the experience and always made sure to check in with us about what she understood from us. Hannah truly took the time to get to know us as individuals, as a couple and as parents to our blended family. Hannah guided us through everything leading up to the ceremony so that nothing was overlooked, making us feel safe, calm, peaceful and relaxed- which were exactly our hopes for our wedding!
The service she wrote was more beautiful than we had imagined, that embodied our love and was a perfect reflection of who we are as a couple, making it apparent that she truly understood us. She thoughtfully and gracefully incorporated our children and family with tenderness and sensitivity. Our wedding ceremony was everything we wanted and more. We will cherish our vows, our ceremony and the process we shared with Hannah, for the rest of our lives. We are so grateful for Hannah shepherding us through the experience with such loving support and kindness.
Hannah is an incredible officiant! We are truly grateful to have her officiate our ceremony and being such a special part of our wedding day. Throughout our planning process and on our wedding day, Hannah was a calm, grounding presence. Our guests remarked how "zen-like" she was during our ceremony. She gained the attention of our guests in a respectful, kind way, while asking them to turn off their phones (per our request) to be fully present on our day. Our guests, were fully present and so were we, with Hannah's help! Hannah's very professional, replied to emails in a timely manner, and helped us fill in the gaps of our knowledge for planning a wedding ceremony. For example, she provided examples of wedding readings and ring vows. She is a wonderful listener and was really able to tell OUR story. She helped us make our dream ceremony come true. It was incredibly special for her to share our love story with our loved ones and our guests commented how wonderful she shared our story. Hannah is a remarkable story-teller, kind, and calm. Thank you Hannah!
We were married by Hannah Grace at Blantyre in Lenox, MA. She had an lovely personality, was professional, efficient, organized and prompt. We were very pleased with her services, couldn't imagine using anyone else and would recommend her highly.
I've had the pleasure of working with Hannah on a number of occasions (I'm a wedding planner), and her ceremonies are always so beautiful. She's always my top choice of officiants. When it came time to plan my own wedding the first thing I was certain on was that I'd like Hannah to perform the ceremony.
Unfortunately she wasn't free the day of our wedding but we were still able to work with her through her ceremony consulting services. This meant we could have a love one perform the ceremony that Hannah had developed for us - really the best of both worlds. Our friend who officiated wasn't burdened with responsibility to create a ceremony from scratch. We chose to not read the entire script before and are so glad we were able to have such a meaningful, lovely surprise during the ceremony.
Hannah made the process so easy and enjoyable for my fiancé and I and our officiant. Her presence is so calming and reassuring and I never had to worry that any details were falling through the cracks because in addition to being a talented story teller, Hannah has impeccable communication skills. In the future when I work with couples wanting to have a friend or family member perform their ceremony I'm definitely going to recommend they include Hannah in the process.
Thank you so much for everything Hannah!
With love,
The Greenes
I can't recommend Hannah highly enough. We had the pleasure of working with her both for our small covid wedding ceremony last year and again for our reception and ceremony this year. She did such a beautiful job capturing exactly what marriage means to us and who we are as a couple. We had guests coming up to us all night and letting us know how much they loved the ceremony and that it seemed so very us. Hannah did a fantastic job keeping us on track, checking in with us, and reminding us to breathe during the ceremony. While my wife and I have no plans to do a third ceremony, anyone who is looking for someone to put what they feel into words for them should go talk to Hannah.
Hannah was a delight to work with! She was so understanding and flexible when we decided to postpone our wedding a year due to the pandemic. Because we were planning out of state (+ pandemic), most of our planning had to be done over zoom and emails, and she was always super responsive. We received many compliments from our guests around her services during the ceremony. Highly recommend!
We highly recommend Rev. Hannah Grace! We had struggled to find an officiant that felt right for our special day and feel so fortunate that we were referred to her by our photographer. Hannah took the time to get to know who we were as a couple and what was important to us, and then used that information to craft a ceremony that both catered to our wishes and felt unique to us (not at all cookie cutter). Hannah meaningfully delivered our ceremony and we / our audience were very touched by her thoughtfulness. Thank you, Hannah!
Hannah was amazing every step of the way!! From meeting with us, to helping us with our vows, to putting together our custom ceremony, we could not have asked for a better, more helpful, or more professional individual to work with! She made our ceremony incredibly special from beginning to end. Everyone commented how beautiful it was and how peaceful and calming her presence was. Hannah really got to know us leading up to our wedding and was able to describe and share our love story with our guest which made for a unique and very personal ceremony for our wedding which is exactly what we wanted! If you want the absolute best, we could not recommend Hannah enough!!!
Rev. Hannah Grace was so wonderful and thoughtful throughout the entire process with Kim and I from the Pre-wedding Zoom meetings, making great suggestions during every meeting, and topping it off by making it such a memorable ceremony on our private and intimate Wedding Day. She even went above and beyond to find a clear mask to allow me to understand her better (hearing impared, lip-read). She is really all about making your day for what it is, a very special one. Thank you Rev. Grace!
Hannah was so approachable and supportive! It was complicated to bring our families together remotely during a COVID wedding and required flexibility due to changing plans but Hannah was great through it all and we had the perfect day!
We were married on 10/15/20, and Hannah was provided to us inclusively as part our venue’s package. It could not have been a better choice from our venue. Our first facetime with Hannah got us really thinking about our vows and Hannah listened to our love story. The incredibly detailed script that Hannah provided us for our ceremony was something I went back to and referenced many times throughout the planning process. Fast forward to the big day, and Hannah transformed our love story into an absolutely beautifully personalized ceremony that made us as well as all our guests both smile and tear up throughout. Our ceremony went off without a flaw and we will be forever grateful to Grace Ceremonies!
Hannah Grace did a phenomenal job officiating our tiny wedding on 10/4/20, and she was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish! She took the time to get to know us (over Zoom!) and really listened to all of our wishes for the day. She also provided excellent advice and was extremely organized throughout the process. The ceremony turned out beautifully and was just as we hoped it would be. Amidst all of the nerves and emotions of the day, Hannah was a truly kind and calming presence, which we greatly appreciated. We have gotten so many compliments on the thoughtfulness of the ceremony and I know we couldn't have done it without Hannah! Thank you!
Hannah officiated our "tiny wedding" in August 2020, with just our immediate families present. We connected with Hannah just a few weeks before the wedding, looking for an officiant who could accommodate us on short notice after our plans changed due to the pandemic. Hannah met with us by zoom to get to know us and to talk about what we wanted our ceremony to look like. She wrote a beautiful secular ceremony that was personalized and very true to us as a couple. We're so grateful to Hannah for helping to make our wedding a bright spot this year for us and our families. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone seeking an officiant in Western MA!
We were married on October 31, 2020 after 18 years together. We knew we wanted to quietly elope and share our news with family and friends later. I had no idea where to start and the thought of being married by a city or town official seemed so mundane. That's when I fortuitously stumbled upon Hannah's site. After initiaI contact, we knew we had found the right person to marry us. Hannah guided us through the planning process with positivity, kindness, and yes, grace. She suggested Happy Chace '28 Gardens at Smith College for our venue, and it was truly lovely. The words Hannah wrote for us were personal, touching, and delivered with great aplomb. Our wedding was made more wonderous because Hannah shared it with us. It was truly a once in a blue moon event.
My husband and I worked with Hannah on our November microwedding and it was truly one of the best decisions we made. I am a professional planner and so I knew I wanted to work with Hannan even before I was engaged! Hannah brings such beautiful energy and heart to all parts of the process. She took the time to get to know us and to understand our values and goals for our ceremony. She brought lots of great insight and suggestions that helped us work through some of the logistical details and was so supportive as we navigated all the twists and turns of pandemic wedding planning. Having her there at our rehearsal was such a source of calm – and as a planner and bride – knowing it was completely in her hands was such a relief.
On the day we felt so connected with Hannah during the ceremony and able to be really present with the entire experience. Since we had to scale back, we invited all our guests virtually and Hannah was so careful about including them and making it feel completely cohesive despite unusual circumstances. We loved, loved, loved our ceremony and there isn’t anyone else we could have imagined to marry us. We highly recommend Hannah and know you’ll be so thrilled with your experience!
Having Rev. Hannah Grace of Grace Ceremonies officiate our wedding was one of the best decisions we could have made. From our first meeting, Hannah was kind, open, and genuinely interested in getting to know us as a couple. My wife and I really enjoyed the personalized experience she provided by carefully gathering the details of our journey and finding unique ways to make our ceremony special to us. Hannah curated a ceremony that was genuine, intimate and one of a kind. On the day of our wedding, Hannah provided a calm and soothing presence that helped to ease our nerves and allowed us to focus on the beauty of the day. Many of our guests remarked that our wedding was the most beautiful they had ever witnessed and praised Hannah’s heartfelt and personal touch. After the wedding Hannah checked in with us to wish us well and even sent a custom “keepsake.” We are extremely happy we chose to work with Hannah and highly recommend her to anyone looking to have someone who will not only demonstrate superb professionalism; but also show that she really cares about her role in our union.
Hannah is an incredible officiant. She was such a calming, reassuring force when COVID threw a wrench in our wedding plans, and she helped us design a beautiful and meaningful ceremony despite the absence of in-person guests, a bridal party, readers, etc. She worked with us every step of the way and provided super helpful materials as we were preparing our vows and readings. She was intentional about getting to know us so she could create a beautiful and personal ceremony for us, she then she sent us a beautiful booklet of the whole ceremony for us to keep. She made our day so special and we are so grateful to her!
We are so glad that we chose Hannah for our wedding! Planning a wedding during a pandemic was not ideal, but Hannah made everything feel so simple. When we began the planning process, my husband (still can’t believe I get to call him that!) said that he was most excited for the reception, but as time went on he realized how much he was looking forward to the ceremony and that was all thanks to Hannah! Our ceremony remained the one sure thing throughout COVID wedding planning. Our ceremony was beyond perfect and we have received so many compliments. I cannot say enough about Hannah and all that she did for us. She is beyond amazing and we are so thankful!
Hannah officiated a vow renewal ceremony for my husband I in July 2020, and it was perfect. She took the time to get to know us and our story. She answered questions and assisted us with writing our own vows. We were in the midst of COVID-19 and all of the unknowns that came with it it, and Hannah was able to find the right balance, allowing us to go forward while still feeling safe. She seemed to know both what we were looking and also what we really needed from our renewal ceremony. I cannot day enough about how absolutely perfect it was and I can’t possibly thank her enough.
We were living on the opposite side of the country while planning our wedding. Trying to remotely plan a wedding is tough, but as soon as we got Hannah, it made our lives easier. From skyping with us to get to know us better to making sure that the ceremony being delivered was personal, impactful, and full of love, she is amazing. We wanted a non-religious ceremony but with respectful nods to both of our families and she nailed it. Everyone at our wedding had said that it was the most beautiful ceremony they have ever gone to. She had been nothing but amazing during the whole process, easing us into what will happen, and guiding us through everything.
We could not have asked for a more perfect officiant for our wedding day than Hannah. She was so very kind and accommodating, and expressed a genuine interest in our story. Our entire wedding was about personal moments and Hannah was able to capture that in her story for us perfectly. We consider her an essential part of our wedding day and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for an officiant. You will know from the first meeting that you've made the right choice.
Also, something that was unexpected is the fact that Hannah has stayed in touch with us after our wedding has passed. She didn't have to do this, but we are very grateful and touched that she has and just further shows how genuine and unique she is. We couldn't be more thankful to have chosen Hannah to officiate our wedding.
My wife and I couldn't have better things to say about Hannah who was our wedding officiant this past summer. Hannah guided us to craft the ceremony that we hoped for. Our ceremony was very polished thanks to Hannah and our guests remarked that it seemed like Hannah had known us forever based on the personal address that she gave about us. We highly recommend Hannah.
We were married in June, 2019 and our experience with Hannah could not have been better! She is thoughtful, caring, and engaging. She helped us to plan a beautiful, meaningful, and memorable ceremony perfectly suited to us and made sure that everything went smoothly on our special day. We are so grateful to have chosen Hannah as our officiant! We would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Hannah!! :-)
We had the best experience with Hannah officiating our September 2019 wedding. We planned our wedding long-distance and she was extremely accommodating, setting up Skype calls with us along the way. She put together a beautiful ceremony that incorporated everything we wanted and felt very natural and very "us".
Hannah was absolutely amazing! She spent a lot of time pulling information from us to make sure that our ceremony had a personal touch to it. She was incredibly respectful of what we wanted and did not want to be incorporated into our ceremony. Hannah really felt like she was on our team which was so important to us one our day, as hearing input from many family members and friends can be overwhelming. I knew that she had our best interests at heart. She even made sure that our dog was included :)
Hannah was a strong, but not overwhelming, presence for us throughout the process. She responds to emails with lightening speed, made sure to walk us through the entire ceremony during the rehearsal until we all felt comfortable, was absolutely perfect (she had everyone in tears) during the ceremony, and checked in on us in the days after the ceremony.
We really had no idea what we wanted for our ceremony. In the end we had an incredibly personal and touching ceremony that left everyone feeling all of the feels! Thank you, Hannah!
Hannah took the time to get to know us prior to the ceremony, and on the day of she was an absolute trooper! Not only did she drive out into the middle of nowhere in the cold rain, but she also stood in the cold rain to conduct our ceremony. We offered her an umbrella, but she declined so that she could do what she needed to do. She tailored her readings to reflect our stories and to create something that was personal to us. We really appreciated that touch. We would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for an officiant.
If you are planning a non-religious ceremony, ours was non-religious. She does both. She was wonderful!!
Hannah was the BEST decision we made for our wedding. We felt so comfortable with her from the beginning and were blown away by the beautiful ceremony she created. Guests continue to comment on how heartfelt and personalized the ceremony was. We unexpectedly have almost half of our guests show up late to the ceremony, and she invited them in seamlessly and wove it into the ceremony perfectly, like it was planned! We are so grateful to Hannah, and 100% recommend her to anyone wanting a memorable day.
Hannah officiated our July 2019 wedding. From the moment we met Hannah we knew that she was the right choice. Her warm and caring demeanor and genuine interest in getting to know us as a couple so that she could weave together a thoughtful and heartfelt custom ceremony was much appreciated. Our ceremony incorporated elements of both Hindu and traditional American wedding rituals and Hannah was outstanding in helping us to combine these into a lovely service that was beautifully executed. We appreciated her thoughtfulness during the rehearsal in advising us to not worry about the details as she was there to guide us, but to be present during the ceremony and take it all in. We received so many compliments from our guests that the ceremony was incredible!
It is obvious that Hannah takes great pride in her work is and is genuinely interested in creating meaningful ceremonies to remember. We were so thrilled to receive the lovely ceremony keepsake a couple of weeks after the wedding as an enduring remembrance of our wedding day!
We are so happy that we found Rev Hannah Grace to officiate our wedding! Initially the ceremony was just something to "get through" before the reception, but the way Hannah told our story and guided us through our vows is something my husband and I will cherish forever. She took the time to get to know us, help us, and encourage us through every email, phone call, and in-person interaction. We appreciated her samples of vows and readings that we were able to customize based on what was meaningful to us. I'm grateful for my pre-wedding pep talk that encouraged me to enjoy every moment and allow myself to show my feelings. I hope you'll choose Grace Ceremonies for your wedding-- I can't imagine my day without her!
Hannah was truly a blessing to have as our officiant. She personalized a lovely ceremony for us that matched our personalities perfectly and left our guests in loving tears. She helped us choose quotes and readings that were meaningful to us, and she lead us towards a handfasting ceremony, which was not on our radar before but ended up being the perfect ceremony for us. While my husband and I were anxious about the ceremony, Hannah was calm and talked us through every thing until we were comfortable. She was the grounding presence that allowed us to breathe and enjoy the moment. After the wedding, she mailed us a sweet keepsake booklet with our ceremony that I will forever cherish. I honestly read through our ceremony and fall more in love everytime. It was more perfect than I could have imagined, and for that I am so thankful to Hannah.
Yesterday was our one year Wedding Anniversary! And to this day people talk about Hannah and her beautiful custom ceremony she designed for Brad and I. She is such a lovely person and really enjoys getting to know your love story. She hears what you want, offers amazing suggestions and was so helpful in the process of the most special part of the day. We met with her a few months before the wedding to talk and get to know each other. She has pages of beautiful passages, quotes, both religious/ non religious. She answered all my questions even when I thought they were silly, and is honestly the best decision we made! The ceremony was just beautiful, her tone is soothing and peaceful, which was exactly what we were looking for. She is so passionate about what she does and making your day so special. She even asked details of my wedding colors so she coordinated!
I wish I could give 10 stars!!!
Our experience with Hannah as our officiant and ceremony writer/designer was wonderful. She is a kind person and has a very centered, calming feel about her. This is wonderful if you're a bit nervous on or before your wedding day, like we were. We chose her in part because she has a diverse theological background and could design a wedding ceremony specific to our beliefs. We selected the one of a kind ceremony package. She writes the ceremony from scratch with this option. She is an excellent writer and editor. Hannah really listened to us about who we were and what we believed. This is very important for a custom written ceremony. We are very happy with the result, which was the perfect mix of tradition and elements unique to us. She did a good job of making sure everyone was comfortable with their role at the rehearsal and gave us some good wedding day tips. She was always on time and great communicating via email. She checked on us to see how we were feeling both before and after the ceremony, as well as, about six weeks after the ceremony to make sure all was well. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant. JN & MD
Upon meeting Hannah, it became immediately apparent that the value of our wedding and of the significance my husband and I placed on our ceremony was a priority for her. She met with us and asked pointed questions to attain insight into our lives, our past, our future, as well as our reasons for choosing to get married which are sometimes difficult to put into words. Hannah was able to incorporate pieces of both myself and my husband into our truly beautiful ceremony. Her artfully crafted words said during her sermon is something I will carry with me always. She provided us with guidance, on how to go about writing our vows, on how to align our thoughts moments before beginning our ceremony, and on everything related to this most special day of our lives. We are truly blessed to have found such a wonderful person to wed us. Thank you Hannah!
