My husband and I loved working with Ellen. We were looking for someone who could balance our secular views and our parents religious views and Ellen was just amazing. Not only did ...

she help give us inspiration on how we could write our ceremony and vows, but she also happens to have a college degree in English and was able to suggest edits so our ceremony was as beautiful as possible. She was on time and pleasant at every meeting, responsive to e-mails, and provided her phone number if we needed to get in touch with her immediately. The day of our ceremony she was open to some last minute changes we asked for and spoke beautifully. This is clearly a woman with years of experience and a gentle heart. You won't be sorry you went with the Northern Virginia Ethical Society.
