m, wonderful person all-around. You can tell she really loves what she does.
Rev. Arlene made the entire process easy by having us fill out questionnaires to provide her with personal information, and then using these, she developed the entire personalized ceremony from scratch. The ceremony perfectly captured our relationship so effortlessly, and Arlene presented it to the crowd in such a loving way. I can't tell you how many of our guests came up to us afterwards asking how we knew Arlene, assuming she was an old friend! Everyone truly enjoyed it, and we owe that all to Rev. Arlene.
On top of everything, she had such a calming presence on the day-of and during the ceremony, which really allowed us to be present in the moment and truly enjoy it. She also took care of filing the marriage license afterwards so we didn't have to worry about a thing, as we were from out-of-state. Overall, we feel extremely lucky to have had Rev. Arlene as part of our special day and would highly recommend her services to anyone in the South Florida area!
Thank you so much for making our wedding ceremony so special. We will honestly never forget that day!!!
Arlene wrote a beautiful, heartfelt and meaningful ceremony and Paul delivered it perfectly. A couple of my friends couldn't stop crying.
Arlene was terrific to work with! She created a lovely ceremony for my husband and I that we will never forget.

We met a few times after and built together the vision for our ceremony.
She took the time to know me and fiancé and even our entire family’s story. Then she created a beautiful ceremony for us, that was both meaningful and full of details from our lives, of love and personal stories.
She was patient and attentive to details that mattered to us as individuals and as a couple.
The day of the wedding she came before the ceremony to my prep room, spent time with me and encouraged me. She was there all through it and felt like a family member.
Our wedding was a success also because of her dedication and passion for what she does.
Now we will have memories for a lifetime from our amazing ceremony. Thank you, Arlene!

rrying us. We loved that she took time to get to know us by having multiple conversations with us as well as sending us 3 questionnaires to fill out: 1 for bride, 1 for groom, and 1 for us both to fill out. These questionnaires gave us the opportunity to provide more details about how we met, intimate stories, funny stories, and our love for one another. Arlene was able to incorporate our stories into her script, which was absolutely beautiful and heartfelt. There was not a dry eye in the room. I highly recommend Arlene to officiate your wedding!

lso honor my husband's families very traditional Catholic upbringing. People were flying in from NY and I didn't want them to be uncomfortable with the fact that we didn't choose a church setting. Rev Arlene did not disappoint!! She was so responsive through the entire process and made it very easy for me with my crazy work schedule. She sent me questionnaires about our relationship and families and created a unique and beautiful ceremony that had people raving all night. I received so many compliments from our guests about how moved they were and that they really felt that they were part of our union by getting a little window into who we were as a couple. She is so sweet and professional, was on time (early actually!), and gave us a gorgeous scroll with her speech to keep forever. Highly highly recommend.
