My ceremony was perfect because of Carolyn! I highly recommend her! I loved all of the recommendations and information that she provided in the months leading up to our wedding. Her experience was extremely valuable to us since we lived out of state. We had voiced our concerns about focusing more on our journey and not too much on how we met. We wanted a sand ceremony that involved the kids. Last minute we thought one of our kids might not participate in the sand ceremony but Carolyn had a backup plan in place. She exceeded our expectations and hit it out of the park. Everyone was laughing and lots of happy tears. It was a perfect ceremony and by far my favorite part of the day. Thank you so much Carolyn!
This review is for my wedding held on October 23, 2021. We met Carolyn from Oregon Beach Ceremony through our wedding planner and were so happy for the introduction. We remember meeting for the first time in person in her home base of Manzanita and it was such a treat and we were so glad we made the trip even though our ceremony would be taking place in Cannon Beach. Carolyn constructed the most beautiful ceremony for us and even though it was such an emotional moment we knew we were in good hands. She had many ideas and suggestions to help make ceremony memorable and went above and beyond what we expected an officiant to do. At the end of our ceremony, she put together an informative packet with next steps which was especially helpful in the days after the wedding but this packet also included the outline of the ceremony itself which will be a true keepsake. We are so happy we chose to work with Carolyn for our wedding and would recommend her to anyone planning a ceremony in the future. Thank you again for the beautiful ceremony and for all the memories we will cherish. John & Alicia.
Carolyn is incredible to work with. She’s so knowledgeable about the OR coast area and the industry and is such an asset through the entire planning process. I cannot speak enough on how beautifully written the ceremony she put together for my now husband and I. She was able to take pieces of both of us and create a wonderful tribute to our love. I never once had to stress because I knew she was on my team. If you’re looking for an officiant for any ceremony you cannot go wrong hiring her.
Carolyn is the BEST at what she does. Our ceremony was ABOVE AND BEYOND anything I had ever imagined. Truly. She made it a completely customized experience. You can tell that she genuinely cares about you and your big day. My husband and I didn't make it out without shedding a few *or more* tears. I would hire her again ten times over.
Carolyn was awesome! We had to cancel our large ceremony due to covid-19 and Carolyn was able to help us plan a small intimate ceremony on the beautiful Oregon Coast last minute. Even with all the uncertainty regarding our day due to closures Carolyn made us feel confident that our day would be perfect no matter what. One of our biggest worries was that the ceremony wouldn't really fit us but Carolyn gave us questionnaires that really helped tailor the ceremony to fit our relationship. I didn't expect our day to go nearly as smooth as it did and I think a good part of that was from Carolyns help. She was quick to reply to any questions or concerns and was readily available for video chat when we needed her. Would highly recommend her to anyone, especially anyone doing a destination wedding.
Hands down one of the best decisions for our wedding day was having Carolyn as our officiant! We were doing destination and she made the process SO easy and was always one step ahead of what you were thinking. She responded quickly and really took the time to understand us to make the ceremony exactly what we wanted. The ceremony was absolutely perfect. Her words had me tearing up a few times with how personal she made it. I would highly recommend her!!
Carolyn created such a beautiful wedding ceremony for us. The location she picked was truly breathtaking! We moved our wedding time up by 2 hours due to the weather and she was very accommodating. I was such a special day and we would like to thank Carolyn for being a big part of that!
Carolyn was an incredible officiant for our wedding! She was extremely professional and friendly while we planned our perfect ceremony. We weren’t able to meet in person before the big day because we did a destination wedding on the Oregon coast and we’re from Texas. However, she made the ceremony seem personalized for the both of us and brought tears to our eyes (as well as everybody in the audience). We we were able to video chat a few times and exchanged numerous emails to make sure we were on the same page during the entire planning process. She went out of her way to look up readings for planting a tree during our ceremony, as well as provided us with an extensive list of other possible readings, vows, etc. My husband and I highly recommend Carolyn-she is an outstanding officiant!
