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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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 💕

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!
