Colleen was a wonderful officiant for my husband and I’s wedding.
With the planning stage, she was great with communicating to us ideas for the wedding ceremony, including ideas that we had never considered such as using a southern tradition where the mother of the bride stands first to see the bride before the rest of the audience stands when the bride walks down the aisle.
Colleen was also great with working with us around our schedule, with meetings and then a rehearsal over zoom with our wedding party since we lived far away from the wedding venue.
We also want to thank her for helping us with the process of applying for our marriage certificate and just recently sending us the links on advice for changing last names (which I am currently in the process of).
Colleen delivered a beautiful ceremony on our wedding day and our wedding day was perfect and Colleen helped be a part of it.
We definitely recommend other couples to have Colleen as their officiant for their special day!

Hi Kelly and Joseph! I so appreciate the warm and thoughtful review. I loved working with you and your family to create the type of ceremony you dreamed of. Thank you so much for choosing us! I was completely honored to be part of your day....
Excellent ceremony! Colleen customized to us and adjusted based on our needs and preferences. Magical day!!
Response from the Vendor on 11/19/2024
Meagan! I loved being there to witness your marriage! The venue was magnificent and the wedding party was so excited to celebrate you and Steven. I am thankful you included me and wish you the very best in your bright future.
Colleen was such a pleasure to work with! She was easy to talk to and got to know us as a couple. She worked that into our ceremony. She did all of the hard work of putting together the ceremony speech, but sent it to us to review and revise. It was great that she was flexible in that way. She took the reigns, but we still had control over how our ceremony would be!
On the day-of the wedding, she is team bride/groom! Our DJ had set up his equipment in a spot that would be seen in our ceremony photos and she took it upon herself to ask the DJ to move the equipment to another location. I really appreciated that. Especially since I, as the bride, was not allowed to come out of my suite. So I didn't even know that was an issue!
Highly recommended!

Abby, it was so nice to get to know you and Zach. Your marriage was truly meant to be. It isn't often that I marry couples who had their first "date" in third grade. It was a pleasure to officiate and I hope your DJ doesn't have hard feeling...
s. I just know that photos are very important!
Any questions?
Colleen was incredibly kind, respectful, professional, and well spoken. She gave us the beautiful, articulate, heartfelt ceremony of our dreams. We cannot imagine having anyone else officiate our wedding and we’re so very happy to have Colleen a part of this incredibly special moment in our lives. Colleen went above and beyond to help us through every step of the wedding/ceremony process. She was very in-depth and well-organized. Colleen helped us understand what we needed to do for every step of planning and obtaining a license to every step of the ceremony. She even helped in reviewing our vows and making helpful suggestions whilst never overstepping. Colleen is a large part of what made our wedding go as smoothly and stress-free as it did. She customized our ceremony for every need and desire we needed and never made us feel judged for any choice we made. She also reached out after our wedding to make sure we received everything we needed and helped with instructions for the name change process afterwards. Like I said, above and beyond! I would highly, HIGHLY recommend using Officiant Services by Colleen & Co.

Priyanka and Brian, I loved, loved, and loved each choice you made on your ceremony. I couldn't be happier that you chose me to officiate it. Please know that it was my honor and pleasure to be part of the two of you becoming one. With love,...

We recently had the pleasure of having Colleen Dwyer officiate our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. From our very first meeting, Colleen made us feel at ease with her warmth, professionalism, and genuine interest in our love story.
She took the time to understand our values and what we wanted for our ceremony, crafting a beautiful, personalized experience that truly reflected who we are as a couple. On the day of the wedding, her calming presence and heartfelt words created an atmosphere filled with love and joy, making every moment unforgettable for us and our guests.
Colleen effortlessly connected with everyone present, conveying the depth of our commitment and making our ceremony incredibly special and meaningful. We are so grateful for her exceptional role in our wedding and will always cherish the memories of that day.
If you are looking for an officiant who is professional, caring, and truly dedicated to making your ceremony perfect, we highly recommend Colleen Dwyer. She is simply the best!

Ale, thank you so much for these kind words. It is an honor to be present when a couple as committed as you and Will promise to love one another forever. I am grateful to have been included and wish you both the very best!
Colleen helped us so much and was perfect as our officiant! She got to know us and put so much detail into our vows. Our guests told us she put the perfect amount of time together for the ceremony. Definitely recommend!

Allyson, It was such a joy to be part of your wonderful day at Black Ankle Vineyard. What an amazing venue! I am grateful you entrusted me to provide a ceremony you loved. Thank you so much! Colleen
Best officiant around and fairly priced. I would recommend Colleen to anyone looking for an officiant.

Kayleigh, it was a wonderful experience to prepare a ceremony that was celebration for a family becoming one. I loved being part of it and so enjoyed getting to know you, Jeff and your whole family. Thank you!
Colleen was very friendly and thorough in creating a customized script for us and making sure the ceremony was exactly as we wanted it to be. On the day of, she was on time, professional, and kind enough to leave us with a copy of our wedding ceremony script and some decorative marriage certificates as mementos. Would recommend to others.

Hello Anna, Thank you so much for the kind words. I appreciate the photos you shared as well. It was a joy to be part of your family coming together as one. It is clear that the kids were very excited about the marriage too. I wish you a mi...

Colleen was absolutely spectacular! Her script that she made personally for us was well organized and planning all the special details and personalizations was so fun and special! Her voice and demeanor was warm and personable and we received so many compliments on the amazing job she did! She made the whole process stress free! 💕

Emma, your ceremony will always be memorable to me too. The connection you have with Dorian is one to treasure. Thank you so much for your thoughtful words and kindness. I wish you two a lifetime of happiness. <3 Colleen
Quality of Service: Colleen was absolutely a delight to work with and I would definitely recommend using her services . She was super organized and mapped out my mom’s wedding from beginning to the end. She provided helpful documents such as examples of vows to use and a questionnaire for my mom and her fiancé to get to know them which allowed her to craft a ceremony script that was specifically tailored to them. I would rate her quality of service a 5 out 5. If you need help planning the layout of your wedding ceremony, Colleen’s services helps to take the stress off you when planning as she outlines everything for. Everything that was discussed in the contractual agreement was executed perfectly.
Responsiveness: With regards to responsiveness, I would give Colleen a 4 out of 5. She was reachable by phone and by email. She did take a little longer to respond back via email but she always answered her phone when we called. She coordinated zoom meetings to discuss immense detail of the type of ceremony my mom and he fiancé wanted. Overall Colleen was pretty responsive pre-wedding, day-of, and even after the wedding.
Professionalism: With regards to professionalism Colleen was super professional. She was extremely sweet and reassuring. She knew how to run a wedding from begging to end and her experience put my mom and her fiancé at ease. Every interaction with Colleen was great and extremely informative.
Value for Money: Compared to other officiants that we research, Colleen had the best pricing and value for your money. She actually helped my mom and her fiancé out as they had to seek her services last minute due to the fact that the pastor they had secured could no longer perform the duty to marry them. Colleen services helped settle the anxiety felt by my mom just by talking to my mom prior to officially securing her services. My mom feels that for the price she paid, Colleen was definitely worth the money.
Flexibility: Colleen did an awesome job in adapting to the issues that occurred during my moms wedding. She knew how to gloss over the issues by using comedic relief while at the same time keeping the service flowing in a professional yet fun way. She was also flexible with regards to taking our unscheduled phones if we had questions and she would provide detailed explanations. She also would encouraged us to make any changes to details that we did not like and made the adjustments with no problem. She even came to the wedding rehearsal and stayed past the original hour to ensure everyone knew their roles. Colleen was super flexible I would give her a 5 out of 5.

Tariah, I enjoyed working with your mother and Jody! I felt so welcomed by all your family and friends. It must have been crushing to have an officiant back out at the last minute and have to have someone jump in after your family had so many...
plans already moving. It meant a lot to me that I was able to give you all exactly what you wanted on such a short notice. I wish you all much happiness and joy in your new family.

Thank you Jody! I just loved working on your ceremony. The rehearsal was so much fun! Great wedding party. Would you consider renewing every year so I can see you all again? 😉
Colleen was amazing! I will recommend her to everyone I know who is looking for an Officiant.
Response from the Vendor on 11/19/2024
thank you Kelly! I loved working with you as well and wish you a very happy marriage!
Colleen was beyond amazing! She is a master at her craft and was such an integral part of our wedding day. Leading up to the event, she communicated regularly and took the time to get to know us so that she could curate the most personal and meaningful ceremony that was exactly what we had envisioned for our special day. Her knowledge is endless and so very helpful! She was professional, understanding and caring. She went above and beyond to answer any and all questions we had and provide us with information that we didn't even know we needed but proved to be helpful. She is a warm and kind person that ended up feeling like an old friend. Our guests were amazed and we've even had people reach out to ask how she knew us so well and comment about how great she was!
Response from the Vendor on 02/27/2024
Thank you for your kind words, Rachel. I love to hear that I was able to make the ceremony just the right tone and style for you and Fred! Best wishes for your future.
I recently got married and used her services. She was very nice, professional and punctual for rehearsal and the wedding day.

Thank you for your review Sarah. Hope you and Jonathan have a wonderful new year.
Amazing to work with and provided an excellent service while following all of our requests and wishes :) She was a breath of fresh air and I knew I had nothing to worry about when I hired her!

Officiating your wedding was such a pleasure. It was especially meaningful since I already officiated the wedding of one of your friends. I am enjoying watching you and Mike’s relationship continue to evolve! Thanks for keeping in touch! ...
❤️❤️❤️
Colleen was absolutely wonderful to work with! From the very first time we talked to her, Colleen was very personable and professional. Colleen sent a well thought out questionnaire to my husband and I as well as spent some time on a zoom chat with us to ensure she truly understood our relationship and what we wanted included in our personalized wedding script. Colleen did an amazing job telling our story and perfectly captured the playfulness of our relationship in our ceremony script. Colleen was open ideas we had to make our ceremony truly personal to us and brought our vision to life.
Colleen officiated mine and my wife’s elopement on 08/23/2023 in Lancaster at a beautiful park. Our elopement was planned kind of last minute and Colleen made a beautiful speech for us to get married to. She was very welcoming when we met her, and very supportive being that this was an LGBTQ+ elopement. Would 10000000% recommend using Colleen’s services for your marriage needs.
Colleen was great!
We are so glad we chose Colleen to officiate our wedding. She had a lot of helpful guidance for us writing our vows and she did a phenomenal job writing the ceremony. She is also just a wonderful person to work with generally. Guests kept telling us it was one of the best ceremonies they’ve been to.
Response from the Vendor on 10/03/2023
Thank you so much Mallory! I was just looking at your photos the other day and they came out beautifully. It was a wonderful day all around. Congratulations!
We found officiant services by colleen online and read great reviews. Chandra officiated our wedding and she certainly lived up to the high praise!!! She was so easy to talk to and work with. She put together a beautiful script for our ceremony that was so personalized. All of our guests asked if we had known her previously, that’s how good she was!!! We had a fantastic experience with her.
Colleen was such a joy to work with. We had some miscommunication issues but these were easily overlooked by the quality of her work. She wrote a beautiful and customized script for our ceremony.
Response from the Vendor on 06/14/2023
Karly, I am so happy we were able to turn things around. The love you and Garrett share is truly remarkable and being part of your day was a pleasure. Big love to you!
Colleen was a pleasure to work with. She was very meticulous about ensuring the script met our needs for our special day. I would highly recommend her as an officiant. I can’t imagine finding anyone better.
Response from the Vendor on 03/05/2023
Thank you Jennifer! I appreciate the kind words. We try to make each ceremony perfect for the couple and their guests. I am so relieved you were completely satisfied. Best wishes for an amazing future.
We loved working with Colleen and we got so many compliments on our ceremony! We heard that our ceremony was the perfect length, really personable, and demonstrated who we were and our love for each other. I am not sure how Colleen did it, but she truly did a great job. Colleen took the time to sit down with us and get to know us. We also liked that she allowed us to revise the draft for the ceremony. She even helped us write our own vows. We can not recommend Colleen enough! Thank you!

e the wonderful review and hope you are doing well.
Colleen was wonderful, kind, professional and quickly responded to all of my questions. I hired her immediately. Our elopement was perfect. She listened to our needs and preformed a lighthearted and intimate ceremony while also beginning with a beautiful prayer. She takes care of all the paperwork to make it hassle free and even took some photos for us. Would 10/10 recommend Colleen as an officiant for anyone looking!
Colleen was amazing to work with. She was professional, kind and detailed! She helped us with every step of our ceremony and it was perfect!! She took my stress level from a 10 down to a 1 and I am so thankful we found her.
I highly recommend Colleen.
Planning & preparation was done quite well, but unfortunately Colleen was not punctual for the rehearsal nor the wedding ceremony. Also to note, my MIL’s name was announced incorrectly during the ceremony & I was given a binder instead of the vow book I had requested to hold for personalized vows. I did, however, very much appreciate the script we established together after very helpful prep work & her bubbly personality. Would still recommend, just sharing my experience honestly.

Hi Bridget, I am so grateful for your honest feedback. The scheduling issue that happened for your wedding/rehearsal was unfortunate. I am grateful that we stayed on the timeline despite the slightly delayed start. Measures have been taken to...
avoid a similar situation in the future and I thank you for your positive attitude.
On a bright note, your ceremony was so amazing. Your new husband was so overjoyed to see you come down the aisle and your new son, well the love he has for you is evident. It was truly a moment to treasure.
I hope you have many years of joy. With my apologies and love,
Colleen
We had the absolute pleasure of having Simone officiate our wedding! She was amazing and went above and beyond from the beginning. She took time to help us individually write our vows, which was so helpful! Look no further for an officiant!!
Colleen was great to work with and helped make our wedding an unforgettable experience! She was very timely to chat with during meetings and helped us formulate the perfect script for our wedding. I would highly recommend turning to Colleen & Co to be the officiant at your wedding!

Thank you Shane! You two are such a fantastic couple, it was easy to make your ceremony special. I appreciate the feedback!
Working with Colleen put my husband and I at ease as she was so kind and helpful. My husband and I had a small elopement ceremony which Colleen officiated. She wrote a lovely script that acknowledged both of our religions and spoke about love and commitment. We enjoyed our experience and were thankful to have found someone who was flexible, understanding and easy to work with!
Thank you Colleen!

Simone delivered an exceptional, well-written speech with grace and poise. She was great to work with leading up to the ceremony, as well. She filed our marriage paperwork with the courthouse in a timely manner, making it one less thing we had to worry about. We are so glad we sought out a professional!
My husband and I worked with Colleen as our officiant. She helped us to incorporate our own views, as well as some more traditional elements, to develop a ceremony that was both special to us and engaging for our respective families. She was very organized and worked well with our videographer and photographer so they could capture special moments during the ceremony.

e family have many years of joy!
We had Colleen as the officiant for our wedding and she was so amazing to work with. She had two packages to pick, a simple one and a more in-depth one. We went with the simple package and were still amazed at how much detail and care she put into our ceremony. She really gets to know you when going over all of the details for the ceremony on the initial consult. She asked so many questions about our relationship, and used all of this information to create a beautiful address about our love story during the ceremony. Aside from putting together all of the details for your ceremony, she also coaches you on how to write your vows, giving tips and proofreading what you’ve written. She also makes the wedding license process very easy to understand and handles most of the details for you. One of the biggest compliments we got about our wedding was that it had one of the most heartfelt ceremonies that our guests have ever seen, and we truly believe that this was in no small part due to the level of care that Colleen put into it. We loved working with Colleen and would recommend her to anyone needing an officiant!

Carolina and Jon,
It was a magical moment being part of your day. I appreciate that you shared such thoughtful feedback. It isn’t easy to meet everyone’s expectation and I try to deliver more than you expect.
Thank you for giving me the...
honor of marrying you!
We knew from our first conversation with Colleen that we wanted her to be our officiant. We connected instantly and knew that she would be able to create the ceremony experience that we wanted for our wedding. She helped us to shape a non-religious ceremony that reflected who we are as a couple. She came up with great, unique ideas for us to include as part of our ceremony and was on top of the small details like moving out of the way for our first kiss pictures and ordering us extra copies of our marriage license. I absolutely recommend using Colleen and her team for your wedding!
Response from the Vendor on 07/19/2022
Aw, thanks Emily! It was a wonderful wedding. Working with you and Scott was a pleasure. I am so happy you were satisfied. Congrats!
Colleen was amazing to work with. She really took the time to know us as a couple and made our ceremony so personal and special. She was organized, easy to communicate with, and coordinated with the other vendors to ensure we had a smooth and flawless ceremony! Highly recommend!

Thank you Katie! Working with you and Pat was so much fun! I truly appreciate your kind words. While I know you won't be a repeat customer, I hope to see you again (perhaps at the wedding of one of your wedding party members).
Kari was the officiant for our wedding on 6/4/22 and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Our ceremony was beautiful, everything I hoped it would be and more, and completely unforgettable. Kari really took the time to get to know about me and my fiancé, how our relationship began and progressed, and what we see our future together to be. The script she wrote for the ceremony was personal, funny, emotional, and perfect. She gave us lots of great ideas for the style in which we could do our vows and we ended up doing tandem vows which we received sooo many compliments on. She also gave us ideas for unity ceremonies and we chose to do the hand fasting which was a really nice addition to the ceremony. There isn’t a thing I would have changed about our ceremony and I have Kari to thank for that. I would highly recommend reaching out to Colleen & Co for your officiant needs!
Colleen was absolutely amazing to work with! She was very thorough with everything and gave a clear understanding of how the ceremony would run. She created the most beautiful ceremony script that had everyone in tears. I loved working with her. My husband and I received many compliments about how well she did. Pricing was also very reasonable. Colleen made our day perfect! Thank you Colleen!

Mariela, you made a stunning bride. For such a simple elopement, you found ways to make it very special. Congratulations and thank you for extending me the honor of marrying you and Bernado.
She was amazing working with us on everything ( i.e. budget, including my child , customizations on ceremony, keeping ceremony short, helping us with our vows ) we wanted and we’re look for in a ceremony we wanted less religious tones in our wedding and more focus on our lives and commitments to each other and she did it amazingly she truly made my day perfect and took the time to get to know me and my now husband

officiant!
Colleen officiated our wedding and went ABOVE & BEYOND! Not only did Colleen capture our love story in our ceremony, she happily agreed to take on a few extra duties that we asked of her due to us having a small, intimate ceremony with no bridal party or day of coordinator!! She was professional yet very personable and always available (and fast) to answer questions from start to finish. We are SO happy we found Colleen to marry us!!! We would highly recommend Officiant Services by Colleen to any couple in need of an officiant 💕

Ashley, it is always an honor to be part of a wedding ceremony. But being part of YOUR ceremony is a huge highlight for me! Thank you and Shawn for sharing your story so that I could give you exactly what you wanted. I am honored you chose me!
Colleen did an incredible job officiating our wedding. She made sure to include as much, or as little, personal details we wanted into our ceremony. She gave great advice for planning and we’re so glad we chose her!
Response from the Vendor on 02/09/2022
Emily, it was so nice of you to leave this review. I truly appreciate it! I loved being part of your big day and wish you the very best always!
My husband and I found Colleen through attending another wedding, when we were blown away by how well the officiant did during the ceremony. Colleen was amazing to work with, and made each step of the process a breeze. Colleen was there for us along the way to answer any and all questions we had, and truly helped us so much with writing our own vows. We had a beautiful, intimate and small ceremony due to COVID, and Colleen helped make the wedding exactly what we wanted. Highly recommend this team!

very happy.
Kari was our officiant and we only have wonderful things to say about her and Officiant Services by Colleen! Kari was easy to work with, open minded and could really sense who we were as people and a couple. She made our ceremony very individualized and followed whatever we wanted (religious, nonreligious, fun and modern or traditional). Our ceremony was one of a kind and Kari even gave us suggestions to make it personable and capture us as a couple. She was well spoken, fast responding and overall a pleasure to work with. Thank you for everything Kari and making our ceremony one will never forget!
Jean did a phenomenal job crafting our wedding ceremony. We had multiple compliments about our ceremony and everyone thought Jean was a family friend whom we knew well. That’s because she took the time to get to know us during the planning calls and emails and really delivered a meaningful, original ceremony. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant to marry us. We would recommend Jean to everyone!
Colleen was the perfect fit for our September wedding. We wanted a light-hearted ceremony, and Colleen crafted the perfect script. Many of our guests commented on the thoughtfulness of our ceremony. Colleen really listened to us and how we wanted our script to be. It was a magical day!!

Kelsey, it was my complete pleasure to work with you. You had a gorgeous day and such a fantastic wedding party and guests. In addition, you were marvelous to work with. I felt so bad that I had to miss our meeting because of a car accident ...
but you made me feel so much better after our zoom call. Thank you for the sweet review.
Jean officiated our wedding and she was phenomenal! We had a small private ceremony in our backyard, with our 4 children. Jean ensured that everyone was included in the ceremony while continuing to make us (the couple) the focus. She was a pleasure to work with and really listened to what we wanted our day to look like. We had the perfect ceremony due to Jean’s expertise!

Thank you, Carrie! It was such a fun family wedding. Beautiful view. Beautiful couple!
Colleen was absolutely amazing! She is very friendly and personable. She took her time to get to know us and make a beautiful script unique to our relationship. She took her time and made sure to touch on small details. Thanks to her our ceremony turned out perfect.

Tonya, I will always remember your wedding. It was truly meaningful and just perfect. I appreciate your kind words more than I can express. I wish you and your family all the best in the years to come.
Words cannot express how amazing Colleen is. She was able to make my crazy day with my crazy family perfect with her words and wisdom during my ceremony and through the whole wedding planning process. She went out of her way to come to my wedding rehearsal and walk everyone through my wedding while keeping my sanity and dealing with my insane family! She became a friend through the whole planning process of my wedding. I couldn't have asked for a better officiant. I recommend her to anyone getting married.

Fawn, I don't know how I missed your review. It is so kind of you to post it. I LOVED your family. Personality is great and they certainly had some. Getting to know you was also a gift. I hope you stay in touch. I would love to keep up wi...
th you both!
We used Colleen for our June 2021 wedding and I would recommend her to anyone. From the beginning she was thorough, kind, and open to ideas. When planning a wedding communication is important. She was there anytime we needed her! She helped us with our vows and gave us much appreciated edits and reviews. Colleen is a professional at what she does!
Response from the Vendor on 06/29/2021
Thank you for your kind words Alex! I loved working with you two. The day was just beautiful and you looked stunning as well. Best to you!
Colleen is the sweetest person, she is very caring and was extremely helpful to us in not only marrying us but also giving suggestions and helping to coordinate our ceremony. What she wrote to marry us was perfect for us and very personal, written specifically for us. I couldn't have imagined anything better and I am forever grateful to have met her and so happy that she was the one to marry us.
Response from the Vendor on 06/21/2021
It was my huge honor to be part of your special day! I enjoyed meeting the rest of your family and look forward to staying in touch! Big love to you!
My husband and I were so happy to work with Kari for our wedding. She was so easy to work with when it came time to finalize our ceremony and all of the details involved with it. Initially, we weren’t sure if we should have a rehearsal with Kari. We figured it was as easy as lining up and walking down the aisle, grabbing hands, etc. We were so wrong. Kari went through every detail of timing, parents, placement, standing, fixing my dress, etc. We couldn’t recommend their services enough to make our day the best.
Jean was the officiant for our wedding and we couldn’t have been happier! Her attention to detail made both of us feel at ease and the ceremony included all the details that we wanted!
Thanks Jean!
Response from the Vendor on 06/27/2021
Gorgeous wedding. There was so much ❤️ in the room. Wishing you both the very best. Jean
We had the honor of working with Kari and had a fantastic experience. She is very kind, knowledgeable, and extremely responsive. She introduced us to the hand fasting unity ceremony, which was the perfect touch to our beautiful ceremony. She walked us through every detail of every section. Highly recommend!
Colleen is such an amazing officiant and she really cared about getting to know my husband and I so she could write a ceremony catered to us! She really listened to what we wanted and what we did not want for our ceremony and added the cutest little details about us in! Colleen not only married us, but she still stays in touch so it feels like we gained a great friend! We seriously loved everything about having Colleen as our officiant and loved that she was so interested in getting to know our story and really shared it in our ceremony!

We had colleen officiate our small elopement. She was quick to respond to any questions we had in planning. The ceremony was absolutely perfect! We are so glad we used her and are happy she will forever be a part of our special day!

Shannon, thank you so must for the review! It was a pleasure to be part of your ceremony. I think you found a perfect partner in one another. Best wishes for an amazing future. ❤️
We hired the Officiant Sisters for our October 3 wedding. Cindy was assigned to our wedding and she did a fabulous job during the ceremony! We had a Zoom meeting with Cindy and filled out a questionnaire so she could get to know us a little better. She used information from the meeting and questionnaire to prepare a script for our review. She was very receptive to any changes we wished to make in the script. Colleen is a family friend, and unfortunately, she was already booked for our date. I have attended two weddings where Colleen was the officiant, and she did a fantastic job! Colleen is so sweet and really enjoys getting to know couples to make their wedding ceremony personal and very special. The Officiant Sisters are also incredibly affordable! I would recommend Colleen and Cindy to anyone!
Very professional and personable! She wrote a great ceremony for us and captured our essence as a couple!!

We had the pleasure of working with Kari for our 10.9.2020 wedding. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and as individuals. She put together a lovely, personalized ceremony and even helped us include a unity plant to our ceremony. Highly recommend!
Jean made our ceremony so special and personalized! Our family laughed and cried all at once :) it was perfect!!
Response from the Vendor on 10/13/2020
Rachel, Jean was so delighted to marry you. She had a wonderful time too. Thank you for that touching review. We appreciate the feedback. Best wishes in your new marriage.
Jean did a fantastic job of telling our story as a couple and made our ceremony personal. Her help at every stage of planning was always prompt and much appreciated. We felt confident going in to the wedding day that the ceremony would run perfectly. Many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed hearing the story Jean told. We would highly recommend Officiant Services by Colleen for their high quality, affordable services.
Response from the Vendor on 10/07/2020
Thank you for the excellent review Anastasia. We care about our couples and want it to be the best possible experience. Jean is outstanding and I am so grateful you connected so well
My husband and I used Officiant Services by Colleen for our wedding day and we couldn't be happier with the experience. When I contacted Colleen she responded very quickly and was very informative! She has a team of officiants that work with her. She told me who was available for our day and even took time to tell us a little bit about each officiant so we would pick the one that was best for us. As they all sounded absolutely wonderful, we ended up selecting Cindy and we couldn't be happier we did! Due to COVID-19 we didn't get to meet in person with Cindy until our actual wedding day, but you wouldn't have known it. We were able to do a virtual meeting with her and communicated via text and email quite a bit. Cindy was most helpful with the whole process, thankfully, because of course we had never been through it before. She really took the time to get to know my husband and I so she could tailor our ceremony to truly reflect us and make it that much more special. Cindy was very attentive to each detail and was so personable to work with. I highly recommend Officiant Services by Colleen for your wedding day! They are the best!

, I loved officiating your wedding and getting to know you both. I'm so glad you enjoyed it and took the time to review us. Happy canoeing!
Cindy
Being lesbians, it was important for my wife and I to find an open-minded and thoughtful officiant for our wedding. Colleen surpassed our expectations in every way. She worked with us to craft the ceremony we wanted, nerdy references and all. We met up months prior and talked out all of the details of the ceremony. Her writing is beautiful and she treated us with respect and professionalism the whole way through.
When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, our wedding plans had to change. Colleen adapted and took care of us. While the ceremony we wanted was cancelled, she went out of her way to still marry us on the date we wanted. I can't thank her or review her highly enough.
Response from the Vendor on 10/05/2020
Kristine, what a wonderful review. I hoped you were happy with the script and ceremony. I love getting creative. It was a joy working with you. Thank you for everything.
Jean officiated our wedding and she did an excellent job. She was very accommodating. We would recommend her to officiate anyone's wedding
Response from the Vendor on 09/28/2020
Thank you Nick! Jean always wants to make your event exactly as you want it. We appreciate your great review!
Kari was a joy from start to finish. She was incredibly flexible during a re-schedule and at accommodating our adjustments to the "second wedding" ceremony, since we exchanged vows on our original date. She added humor and truly was able to create a ceremony tailored to Devin and I. Kari was incredible to work with and I cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking for an officiant!!!
Response from the Vendor on 09/22/2020
Amanda and Devin, you two were so special to work with. It was a great honor to assist you in creating a ceremony that was perfect for you. You are the reason we do this. Thank you for the beautiful review.
Doug and I would like to thank Colleen and Cindy for making our ceremony a day that will never be forgotten. Our guest had nothing but compliments. Nobody could have done any better. Highly recommend.
Response from the Vendor on 09/11/2020

wedding at that beautiful spot in the Poconos! Thank you for your welcome and warmth as you accepted a change in officiants so gracefully. Cindy
I had the pleasure of working with Colleen at a recent wedding.
Once in a lifetime moments like these are filled with many emotions. On a day when you want everything to be perfect, stress can be one of those.
Colleen has an even keeled personality that is infectious and is a calming influence. Articulate, she can easily weave your love story into the traditional ceremony aspects allowing all guests to understand how they came to be at this place, in this point in time.
Highly recommend!
Colleen was phenomenal! She helped us make this day so special!! I can’t imagine what I would have done about vows without her help. So many of our friends and family have commented on how wonderful our ceremony was. Colleen really tailored it to reflect our personalities and lives together.
Response from the Vendor on 08/12/2020
Megan, you were so easy to work with. From the moment we spoke on the phone I was already thinking about how much I would enjoy working with you. Thank you for trusting me to make your ceremony perfect for you. Please stay in touch. Best of...

Colleen is amazing. She supported me through the process and was so understanding and gracious about us cancelling our services with her due to everything we had going on. Beautiful person!
Response from the Vendor on 07/18/2020
Aw, Janelle! Thank you for the lovely review. I am proud of the wonderful woman that you are and know that you will be very happy with your decisions. Best to you!
I cannot say enough great things about Jean!! From the very first phone call with Jean to the end, she made us feel so relaxed and was nothing but helpful. I had a few oddball questions that I wasn’t sure who to ask or handle so I asked Jean. She really guided us on the legal process and didn’t mind getting my worrisome emails! She was so down to earth. We aren’t a religious couple and didn’t want a lot of readings in our ceremony but wanted it more personable and relatable to our guests. She nailed our vision for the type of ceremony we wanted while still being able to incorporate some traditional-ness. I’m so glad that Jean was apart of our day. It couldn’t have gone any better and a huge part was due to her! I would hands down recommend her to officiate any type of ceremony.

Olivia, I enjoyed the part I played in making your wedding special. You and Dave were the sweetest couple and I could feel the love among your family and friends. Beautiful couple, beautiful setting. Wishing you a beautiful future together. ❤️
In the wake of a pandemic and the world shutting down, my fiance and I were near tears thinking the worst was going to happen for our wedding. But Colleen went above and beyond making sure we had a place, flowers, and even a photographer to keep our day special. Every step of the way, no matter how stressful it seemed, Colleen was able to make us feel confident that our day would still be special. Even though it wasn't exactly how we planned, Colleen made our wedding day the best day of our lives.
Response from the Vendor on 06/11/2020
Wow, how sweet. You know that you two will always be very special to me. It was one of my favorite weddings ever. Love the love you share and thank you for sharing some of it with me.
Colleen was very affordable, kind, and accommodating. She personalized our ceremony special for us and even provided an adorable triangular arch for our elopement, since we had to move our big wedding due to covid Colleen still married us even during the chaos! It was very much appreciated.
Response from the Vendor on 06/10/2020
Brittney,
Your wedding, style and vibe were so easy to work with. The love you share with Luke is that of a fairy tale come true. I wish you thousands of lifetimes to share the joy you have found in each other!

Response from the Vendor on 06/05/2020
Thank you Ashley! You and David are such a perfect pair. It was a delight to be involved in your wedding.
4/4/20 we got married in the middle of a pandemic and Colleen still didn't let us down! She came and did a beautiful ceremony here at our home, she spoke wonderfully and even made sure her outfit coordinated with our day! It was super special and I can't thank her enough! ☺️
Response from the Vendor on 04/22/2020
Ah Danielle, I have found life long friends in you and Evan. Even with all the restrictions and limitations, you were able to make your special day beautiful and memorable. Thank you for the sweet words.
Colleen was great, she made my husband and I feel very comfortable. She personalized our vows and told our story which was fun and easing to hear at the alter. We would highly recommend her to anyone searching for an amazing officiant!

Sarah, thank you so much for the review. I loved working with you on your gorgeous wedding. You looked so beautiful coming down the aisle. I was choked up! I am so grateful you allowed me to be part of your day. Best to you and Kyle!
Colleen absolutely played a key part in making our wedding day perfect. We booked her later in the process after realizing our family member could not officiate our ceremony. She showed passion and love for what she does from day 1 and handcrafted a perfect ceremony to reflect us as a couple. She had great ideas and really listened to what we wanted. Colleen has such a kind and loving soul and we were so happy to cross paths with her at such an important time in our life together.

Colleen was great to work with both before and on our wedding day! We were able to work with her to customize our ceremony script and vows to make sure that our wedding day was truly ours. She even worked with our rehearsal schedule and moved around other appointments just for us, which was above and beyond her services. We loved getting to make our ceremony truly unique to us!
