We booked Darlene Schlesinger @ Personal Touch Ceremonies for our wedding. Prior to our wedding, we had an initial phone consultation with her to book, and then communicated via email until our rehearsal, which is where we met in person. While initially I was hesitant about not meeting our officiant until the day prior to our wedding, Darlene was very available to us by phone/email which eased my anxiety. She allowed us the flexibility to write our own ceremony completely, and provided us with feedback along the way. She was absolutely wonderful at our rehearsal, and is overall just a fun friendly person to be around. Unfortunately, due to a family emergency, she ended up being unable to be the officiant on our actual wedding day, however kept us well informed and lined up a replacement officiant for us, Stephanie, who was able to perform the ceremony without issue!
We can’t even begin to express how amazing our wedding day was and Darlene was a huge part of that! We wanted a fun and personal ceremony and we could not be more elated with the outcome. It was absolutely beautiful and surpassed all of our expectations! Darlene had us and our guest laughing while never taking away from the true purpose or importance of the ceremony. We have received countless compliments as to how absolutely beautiful and touching the ceremony was, a few people asked us if Darlene was a personal friend of ours, and two of our vendors even told us that it was one of the best ceremonies they have ever seen! Thank you Darlene from the bottom of our hearts for helping to make our wedding day absolutely perfect!!!
Rev Ed performed our ceremony on Block Island in June and did an amazing job. We were a little hesitant since we were not able to meet beforehand but Darlene and Rev Ed made all the logistics from a far as seamless as possible. Rev Ed arrived on time, met with us before the rehearsal and everything went extremely smooth the day of and his delivery was great. We highly recommend!
Ed was the officiant for my ceremony on 6/27/15. From the day we met him everything was easy and never felt any pressure. He was open to our ideas and was able to lead a ceremony we were both extremely happy about. He provided us with 20+ samples of ceremonies and we chose parts of many to create our own personalized ceremony. It was quick and easy! Day of there was never any issues. He arrived on time, marriage license was signed and taken care of. He allowed us to start a little early due to rain which was great. I highly recommend him for any bride looking for a great ceremony with ability to personalize it to your liking!!!!
Rev. Darlene was the best! She had us pick bits and pieces from readings we liked and created our own unique ceremony from it! She has such a great sense of humor and even cracked a joke during our ceremony that had everyone laughing! It helped us not be so nervous up there in front of everyone. Our ceremony came out so great! I couldn't have imagined it any better!
Rev. Darlene Shlesinger is our type of person, relax, laid back, not too serious but serious enough, great personality. She was everything we were hoping for in an officiant and more. Her delivery of the ceremony was spotless, and she knew where and how to insert comedy and laughter to our ceremony. Even though we talked to her only once in person, she immediately understood my personality and my husbands and helped us tailor the ceremony to match us. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great officiant, with a great personality!
We had a great time with Rev. Darlene. She kept things light and made us and our guests laugh numerous times to keep us at ease. We're not serious, and I certainly needed to be put at ease, so her lighthearted nature was a great atmosphere for our ceremony. Guests loved her, and so did we!
WONDERFUL! Like having an old friend marry you. She was so energetic and fun and yet professional. Just lovely.
Darlene was great! I met her at a wedding show and knew that I wanted to book her from that first meeting. She was very down to earth and funny, something that my husband and I work well with. She was always quick to answer any questions we had and was very helpful with our vows. We put together our own, and she sent us about 20 samples of vows she had used before. We were able to cut and paste what we wanted her to say which made it very personal without as much stress of us writing our own! She was great during the ceremony ... keeping it light and having fun! We couldn't have asked for anything better :)
