We are so happy to have had Renee as our wedding officiant. Our ceremony had a minor hiccup with the microphone and she handled it perfectly. She created a beautiful ceremony that felt personalized and her voice was so calming. I will always recommend Renee to friends and family.
I highly recommend working with Renee as your wedding officiant. We had a brief introductory phone call where she got to know us and went over all of the details of a wedding ceremony. I had some trouble writing my vows and she sent over lots of helpful guidance and examples on what I might include. Renee was very responsive whenever I had a question. The ceremony she put together was beautiful and I love the book she made for us containing everything that was said during the ceremony. She's a terrific public speaker and made us feel comfortable every step of the way!
Finding Renee was such a blessing for us! She is truly one of the kindest people I have met. After talking with her on the phone, it took us less than 5 seconds to decide to go with her as our officiant. It really was a no-brainer. She is everything we were hoping for in an officiant - kind, compassionate, and someone who puts in 100% effort in writing our ceremony. Later on in the planning process, we met up with her at a coffee shop so she could get to know us better. It really showed when she officiated our wedding - the words she wrote were so beautiful and felt so us. Everything was so thoughtful. She is truly a gem and we are so thankful she married us.
Amazing! Renee is the best. Definitely hire her!
We have been to a lot of weddings where friends or family are officiating and it is a disaster so we knew we wanted a professional but we still wanted it to feel personal. Renee was just that! She gets to know your relationship, incorporates it into the ceremony, and speaks in such a genuine way - nothing feels scripted or overly produced. During the ceremony, it felt like she knew our love and believed whole heartedly in it! Would recommend her 100%
Renee was perfect. We had a shorter time frame for our wedding and she went above and beyond to get to know us and create a custom ceremony that was reflective of who we are as a couple. Even within the limits of video chats prior to the wedding Renee was attentive, answered our many questions, and was easily reachable when we needed to communicate. We love the book she provided afterwards with our ceremony and vows in it and will certainly treasure it for years to come. Don’t look any further, her experience certainly shines through! Thank you Renee!
Renee came highly recommended to us. My wife Kristen and I were very happy with her professionalism, preparation and her entire approach to the process. Renee is extremely organized and knew exactly how to learn about who we are and why we fell in love with each other. She gave us great advice, while allowing us to make the ceremony fit our style. Renee was a perfect fit for our wedding.
We contacted Renee about a year ago to do our July wedding. She was honest, inspirational and someone we knew that we would really enjoy having officiate our wedding.
Renee sent us a booklet she wanted us to fill out so that she could get to know us, as a couple, better. In addition, she took the time to meet us and get to know us individually and as a couple. She made us feel extremely relaxed and comfortable when we were very nervous and overwhelmed.
The ceremony was absolutely beautiful.
We would highly recommend Renee to be the officiant for your special day. She is amazing!
AMAZING! Renee was the epitome of a perfect officiant. She is sweet, kind, & easy to talk to. She not only made planning the ceremony a simple process but she completely personalized it in a total of 2 meetings. We spoke on the phone with her to get a feeling of who she is as a person & clicked immediately - it was like talking to a good friend or your mom. We went to her office which is cozy & inviting to discuss the ceremony. She took into account our ideas, wishes, & religious beliefs. For us, she made a personalized romantic ceremony with traditional & religious aspects. She’s very flexible in her ceremony styles & wants to make sure they fit the couple. She gave us a book with questions to fill out (which gave her an idea of who we are & what to say in the ceremony) & ideas for readings, prayers, poems, etc. We met again to discuss the ceremony outline, vows. readings, & details. However, the bulk of what she wrote to say was a surprise to us & it was PERFECT. We could not be more thrilled with our ceremony -it was by far the best part of our day & the easiest to plan. She also typed everything into a bound book which she read out of during the ceremony & then we got to keep afterwards as a momento so we can always reread it. Renee made us feel so comfortable & really captured our love. She is the sweetest person & someone we loved getting to know. We truly admire her & highly recommend!!!
Renee was everything we'd hoped for in a wedding officiant. She took the time to really get to know our personalities both as individuals and as a couple. She used what she'd learned to create a ceremony that truly reflected our love story, our values, and hopes for the future.
Throughout the process she was very easy to reach and open to our feedback. She provided us with a copy of the full ceremony and allowed us to make as many edits and suggestions as we wanted. Of course, she had done such a good job that we barely could improve upon her work.
It is obvious that Renee loves her job and it really pays off. We highly recommend her to any couple!
Renee officiated our wedding on September 27, 2019. We contacted her after a long online search during out wedding planning and immediately knew she was the right officiant for us. During our initial phone conversation, Renee made perfectly clear that she wanted us to feel a connection with her. She told us she would rather we give the business to someone else than to hire her without feeling this connection. This is truly what sold us. Renee met with us several times prior to the ceremony which we really enjoyed. She spent a great deal of time getting to know us both individually and as a couple. It felt like we had known her for years even after only the first in-person meeting. Renee also had us complete a journal about our common values, hopes for the future and overall relationship. It was a nice way to connect during the wedding planning process which can be rather stressful. The night before our wedding, Renee joined us at our home with our wedding party to run through the ceremony. She made the process easy and fun for our large (and sometimes loud) family. She was patient with everyone and made sure we all felt comfortable. Finally, the day of the wedding, Renee performed the most beautiful ceremony we could have hoped for. It was the perfect mix of funny, sentimental and spiritual. We continue to get compliments on how wonderful it was. She really captured our relationship and highlighted everything we wanted to focus on. We would recommend Renee to anyone looking for a special, kind and thoughtful officiant. Renee focuses on her clients and makes sure to give them the ceremony they want. She is easy to contact and really was the best person to work with. Thank you Renee!!
Renee put together such a beautiful ceremony for my husband and I. We did not want to write our own vows so after she met and talked to us a few times before the wedding she was able to put together something that was just right for us. Many of my guests told me after how beautiful and absolutely perfect the ceremony was. We also felt completely clueless about the entire process and since Renee is very experienced with what she does she made us feel comfortable and answered all our questions - the book she gave us helped us a lot and reminded us of all the reasons we were getting married.
Renee did a beautiful ceremony for us! There was not one dry eye in the building! She met with us a few times before our wedding to get to know us. She has us fill out a book of questions for her so she could really get to understanding our relationship. Our ceremony so perfectly designed for us! Even better after the ceremony she handed us the book that our ceremony was written in along with my husband and I vows in it so we can look back and read out ceremony whenever we want!! So highly recommended!!!
Renee is amazing! She is knowledgable, helpful and such a lovely person! She encouraged us to make the ceremony our own and helped up brainstorm ideas. She was very communicative and really wanted to get to know us to make our ceremony personal and special. Her calming nature was so welcome during the ceremony and she did a beautiful job making it light and fun while still doing it the justice the occasion deserved. I honestly can't say enough wonderful things about Renee and would HIGHLY recommend her!
Despite having been to nearly a hundred weddings between the two of us, neither of us knew what we wanted in a wedding ceremony. Luckily for us Renee was able to give us exactly what we needed. She took the time to get to know us leading conversations over the phone, through email, and in person to get a feel for the type of people we were. She was able to take this and give us a sweet, fun, and most importantly a personal wedding ceremony designed just for us. To top it all off, she was a real trooper as we had our ceremony outside at the end of November! We received multiple compliments regarding the ceremony and how personal it felt, and that is all a testament to Renee and the time that she takes to get to know the people she works with. My husband and I would absolutely recommend her to our family and friends for their special day.
I don’t even know where to begin. Renee made our ceremony more beautiful than I could’ve ever hoped for. From start to finish, she made the planning and actual day so stress free and memorable for us. She really learned us as people and as a couple and my family and friends were so touched by our ceremony. We would recommend her without reservation to anyone planning their wedding. She is warm, kind and well spoken. We absolutely love her and you will too.
Renee was absolutely wonderful and we could not have found a better officiant. She made sure our wedding ceremony was beautiful. Renee is kindhearted, warm and caring. She took the time to meet with us several times to created a personalized wedding ceremony. We are very happy that we chose Renee to be our wedding officiant.
If you're looking for a JOP who truly and genuinely will make your special day everything you want it to be and more, look no further! From the moment we met Renee, we felt a special connection. She was extremely friendly and personable but also very organized and thorough. She asks all the right questions and isn't afraid to make any changes or adjustments that you want/need. She really understands what marriage means for a couple and will be with you every step of the way in whatever way you need (without overstepping your boundaries at all). There wasn't a dry eye in the house after our ceremony and one of the biggest compliments we heard was how amazing our ceremony was - which was all thanks to Renee! Thank you again Renee for making our day everything we wanted it to be and more.
Words cannot fully express how Renee depicted our relationship to our family and friends on our wedding day. Her calm presence and reassurances throughout the process made our journey that much more remarkable. She is a true treasure.
Renee was such a wonderful officiant for our wedding. Her method for crafting a personal ceremony for me and my wife—having us fill out journals with thoughtful questions about our relationship—was such a great touch and added a lot of depth to the process. The ceremony was beautiful, full of happy tears and laughs shared by all.
Renee was an absolute pleasure to work with! My husband and I were married by her in May and the ceremony was picture perfect. I was searching for a justice of the peace for a while and no one was standing out to me, so I came to the knot and found Renee. The reviews were all great, so I decided to give her a call! She responded immediately and set up a meeting with us. She made us feel like family and took the time to really get to know us. The day of the wedding, our ceremony was so beautiful because she adds such a personal touch. There wasn’t a dry eye in sight! It was such an intimate, heartfelt ceremony and my husband and I couldn’t be happier! I highly recommend Renee to anyone looking for a wonderful JOP! Renee is the absolute best!
Renee was an absolute pleasure to work with! My husband and I were both comfortable around her which is extremely important. She had us come to her house and had a delicious little breakfast spread. Right away we felt at home. Renee has the ability to not only make you comfortable but open you right up. She spent time in getting to know us and our relationship. She had us fill out journals which was really beautiful because she used certain things in the ceremony. Our ceremony was beautiful and ALL of our guests said it was so personal and beautiful. If you want a kind JP who is going to listen to you and care for your needs Renee is the way to go!!!
Renee was simply amazing! From the moment we met her, she made us feel so comfortable although we were nervous and uncertain about how we wanted our ceremony. Renee asked us what we were comfortable with and carefully went through each step with us. She even had snacks for us when we went to see her! On the day of the rehearsal and the wedding, she was incredibly professional and went along with a ring pop joke during the ceremony! She thoughtfully gave us a journal of our ceremony. Me and my husband were so happy to have Renee officiate our wedding and our guests commented on how wonderful the ceremony was! So lucky to have found Renee!
As soon as you meet Renee, you immediately feel her warm and welcoming presence. She is such a beautiful and kind human being who respects the sanctity of marriage and is a lover of love. My husband and I both enjoyed getting to sit down with Renee throughout the process and develop a relationship with the person who would marry us. Renee ensures that your marriage ceremony is a true reflection of your relationship and is representative of the two of you as a couple. The journal exercise she has her couples do is such an amazing reflective experience and she uses those shared words to create the perfect ceremony. On our wedding day, Renee made sure both of us were comfortable and she was super helpful about reminding me of things I was terrified of forgetting. Our ceremony would not have been what it was without Renee; she suggested such small details to include that had such a large impact not only in that moment in time, but in the memories of our wedding that we will cherish forever. It is such a gift to have our wedding ceremony and vows as a keepsake and we already enjoy reading it and reliving our ceremony. If you are looking for someone to not just marry you, but guide you, respect your love for one another and truly make your ceremony one of a kind - just meet with Renee, we promise you will feel the same! Renee from the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much and we are forever grateful for the memory you helped us create. Always with love, The Godlewski's
My husband Joel and I had a wonderful experience with Renee. We knew from our very first meeting with her that she was the perfect person to officiate our wedding. She is kind, thoughtful and lovely. She provided us with handmade journals in which we were able to reflect on our relationship. I felt that she really took the time to get to know us as a couple and she put together a beautiful ceremony that we will never forget. She was such an important part of our special day. My husband Joel and I couldn’t recommend Renee more highly.
Renee was perfect! Renee is a warm and thoughtful woman. I just felt a sense of calm around her and that alone made me want her to be a part of my wedding.
When we started out wedding planning, we didn't really know how we wanted our ceremony to go, but Renee led us to exactly what we wanted. We filled out journals, and shared our story with her. She took that information and customized our ceremony, making our personality as a couple really shine through.
Renee, is so warm, gentle, kind and welcoming! I knew I wanted to use her as our JP as soon as I watched one of her ceremony videos. She welcomed into our home as if we were her family. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable around her. I loved the journals she gave us to fill out to help her understand us more as well as write the ceremony. It is a beautiful touch. She made the wedding day ceremony go seamlessly even with unexpected winds not working in our favor. The ceremony was beautiful and I couldn't have asked for a better JP :) Thank you, Renee. If you are looking for a JP to deliver a beautiful, original and touching ceremony, please contact Renee. She is the best!
We are so fortunate to have come across Renee one day as we were perusing the internet looking for a Justice of the Peace to do our wedding ceremony in our July 2017 wedding. After reading reviews and watching a few videos of her ceremonies, we were hooked. We contacted her via email and she responded quickly to set up a meeting. Since there was quite a distance between our two homes, we met for coffee one evening and had a relaxed discussion about our relationship and lives together. By the end of the hour we spent with her, we felt ready to hire her as our Justice of the Peace. She encouraged us to take our time with the process since she was our first interview with any Justice of the Peace, but we just knew that she was the right one for us.
During our planning process, she provided us with ample resources related to ceremony readings and vows. As we finalized the details of our ceremony, Renee provided us the unique idea of adding a symbolic aspect to our ceremony. We loved her idea as we felt it was unique and represented us as a couple. She led us through the planning and rehearsal process with poise and reassurance. Her excitement about our wedding day was evident in all she did.
On the day of our wedding, the ceremony was executed flawlessly. Her ceremony truly spoke to our strengths as a couple and captured us so beautifully. We received many compliments from our family and friends on how wonderful the ceremony was. Throughout the process, one of the most meaningful experiences Renee provided to us was the opportunity to complete individual handmade journals with questions about our relationship. It was clear that she took the time to thoroughly read each of our journals and used them to form the basis of our ceremony. Thank you, Renee, for a truly PERFECT ceremony!
Renee was great! We requested a short non-religious wedding and she did an awesome job. She even brought a backup mic when our DJ didn't have one. Would def recommend her for any wedding
We're are so happy we found Renee on The Knot! From the moment we met her, we knew she was the one who would officiate our big day! She tailor-made our ceremony and included all the details we requested. We really enjoyed recording our thoughts and memories in the handmade journals she gave us. Even better, she incorporated them into our ceremony. She was flexibile and accommodating with meetings and always supplied chocolate, my husband's favorite. We'd recommend her 100 times over. Thank you, Renee!
Renee officiated our June wedding and we could not have been more lucky to find such an amazing officiant! From the moment we met her we knew that we wanted her to marry us. Ever since our first meeting to our wedding day, she was the absolute best - answering any questions we had and helping us every step of the way. So many of the guests have reached out to say what a lovely ceremony she provided. We will forever be grateful for her helping hand throughout one of the most stressful and amazing times of our lives.
Thank you for everything, Renee!
My fiance and I met with a few JP's/officiants, but just didn't feel confident enough with any of them to hire them to perform our wedding ceremony. Our florist, Barbara at Confetti LLC, recommended Renee Carle to us and as soon as we met with her, we knew she was the one! She is such a warm-hearted, kind, friendly, calm, and organized person. We were so excited to have her perform our wedding ceremony and were even more excited to hear that she was sending us journals to each complete separately to help her get to know us better so she could personalize our ceremony! We had such fun answering the questions in our journals and couldn't wait to hear our ceremony on our wedding day, which was just this past weekend. Renee performed a beautiful ceremony, just as we expected. She even gave us a keepsake book with our whole ceremony, including the personal vows we wrote, all typed up so we can have it forever. We highly recommend Renee to all couples who are planning their wedding - you will be thrilled to have her as your JP/officiant. Thank you Renee for everything!
What can I say about Renee. She is just a flat out amazing person. In the time working with Renee, I felt like we all got to know each other at such a deep level and this shows in the ceremony.
She genuinely cares about you and your significant other. This is clearly not a job for her to make some cash, but something she does out of a love for it.
She takes an absolute interest in the two of you and what makes you perfect for each other. From this, she will craft one of the most beautiful ceremonies you will ever hear. She got me crying a couple of times! Its only been a couple weeks since the wedding, but were still talking about the little things she put into her ceremony that were just perfect.
If you want a ceremony that will bring out the best in the both of you and show everyone your love, Renee will go above and beyond any expectations you could have.
We cannot say enough good things about Renee Carle! We were very uncertain what we were even looking for when searching for a JP as we are not very religious but we knew we wanted someone who made us feel comfortable! From the first time we met Renee we knew she was the right fit for us! She made us feel so special and cared for and the way in which she gets to know her couples makes all the difference in feeling like she really knows you! We got so many compliments on our ceremony and it being one of the best many of our guests have ever been to and we owe a great portion of of that to Renee. I would recommend her without a doubt to anyone!
Renee officiated over our October 1, 2016 wedding. From our early interactions, we knew she was the JP we wanted to be a part of our wedding. She made us feel at complete ease in her home with her warm personality during our first meeting. We looked forward to our meetings and conversations leading up to the big day. Renee helped us craft a very personal ceremony and was extremely helpful offering sample readings, prayers, and poems to guide our thoughts. We thoroughly enjoyed the “couples exercise” she had us complete to share our feelings and craft a beautiful story of our relationship for the ceremony. She was always very highly responsive to my questions in the months prior, and it’s obvious the care she shows for all the couples she works with. On our wedding weekend, Renee was so professional during our rehearsal with a very large group and even helped facilitate some minor reading changes the evening before. The ceremony itself was absolutely beautiful, heartfelt, and romantic – Renee spoke so eloquently and there was not a dry eye in the house. Friends and family loved her and could not stop talking about what a perfect ceremony she led. We love the ceremony keepsake she also prepared for us and it is something we will treasure for years to come. We found a friend in Renee and booking her was one of the best choices we made for our wedding. We would recommend Renee without hesitation to all couples – she is the absolute best! Thank you Renee for everything! Love, the Resnicks.
Renee was amazing to work with! She really made our ceremony unique to us and we absolutely LOVED having an opportunity to write in journals (that she made!) to reflect on what we loved about one another in order to make our ceremony even more special. She is very professional and was timely throughout the process. She was a warm calming person and we got compliments from everyone who attended on how beautiful our ceremony was. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Renee was absolutely amazing!! I honestly can't say enough good things about how wonderful she was. From the first second we met with her we felt incredibly comfortable and knew she was the right fit for us. Renee has an extremely warm and sweet air about her. She gave us handmade journals with questions for us to answer so she could get to know us better, which she gave back to us along with a printed copy of our ceremony - all of which are amazing keepsakes. The ceremony was perfect, exactly what we asked her for. She is very professional and worked very well with our day of coordinator. I really truly can't express how wonderful Renee is.
I don’t even know where to start in describing how wonderful Renee is! We knew she was the right JP for us as soon as we met her in her beautiful home. We loved that she was open to letting us design the type of ceremony we wanted, but willing to provide recommendations and suggestions on aspects we weren’t sure about. She had so many great ideas and examples during our first meeting, and was also so incredibly sweet and kind. When we walked out of her home, my (now) husband said “I was trying to tell you to book her right now! We can’t lose her to someone else!” Renee was the only vendor he felt that strongly about and I completely agreed. Renee turned out to be just as wonderful as she seemed in that first meeting. She took the time to get to know us during the year leading up to our wedding, e-mailed us various ceremony ideas, readings, and sample vows, and kept in touch as our big day was approaching. All of her hard work led to the most beautiful and personal ceremony that was by far the highlight of our wedding day. ALL of our guests made a point to tell us how touching our ceremony was and it seemed that everyone cried along with us! One of our guests even told us that he cried during our ceremony, but had not cried at either of his son’s weddings!! Renee also made a beautiful book with the entire ceremony written inside and put it in our card box, and this is something we will treasure for the rest of our lives. Renee was hands down our favorite vendor and we are so thankful she was a part of our day! Thank you, Renee, for giving us the gift of a beautiful and emotional ceremony to start our lives as husband and wife!
We booked Renee for our August 2016 wedding at the Branford House. From our first phone conversation I knew Renee was the JOP for us after speaking to many other JOPs that just didn't feel right; it was clear that she was a hopeless romantic, and had an incredibly calming demeanor. She pointed us to several videos of ceremonies that she has performed and I found myself crying watching the ceremonies of complete strangers (watch them if you are unsure!). From there we met with Renee twice (she is super flexible about how many meetings you have). Throughout our planning, she offered suggestions and templates for our ceremony which gave us a good sense of direction and also made the process really enjoyable for my now husband and I. At our first meeting she asked several thoughtful questions that we had to prepare for. My husband (who NEVER cries) felt the same instant connection to Renee, and was overcome with emotion. We spoke the whole car ride home about how happy we were that she was our JOP! She also coordinated our rehearsal which was perfect to put everyone’s minds at ease. Renee wrote the most beautiful and personal ceremony for us for our wedding, which we left as a surprise for the day. We were both filled with such emotion and could not have been happier with Renee’s work! She was also completely flexible and calm with a change in ceremony location due to weather. Many family members in the wedding party commented on how wonderful Renee was; she really has the type of personality where you immediately notice how warm that she is. After our ceremony, we had several of our wedding guests comment that it was the best ceremony they had ever experienced at a wedding, which we largely attribute to Renee. I would not hesitate to recommend Renee to anyone who wants a romantic and personal ceremony!
Renne is amazing! We found her on short notice, I think we only had 6 months before the wedding, but renne got the job done with perfection! She did a beautiful ceremony. Not only is she professional, and a great JP, but she's an awesome person, it was a pleasure and an honor to get to know her. We had a little mishap and lost our marriage license the night before the wedding, but renne was so calming and understanding, and she took care of everything for us. We are so lucky to have found her. Myself, my new husband and our family couldn't have asked for anyone better to share in this special day with us, if you are looking for the perfect JP,look no further. You will end up with a beautiful, personal, loving, funny, memorable ceremony ( she also gives you the book with your ceremony typed out as a keepsake, which is something you will want to have to look back on )
We are truly blessed that Renee was available to perform our wedding ceremony. Her process ensured she gets to know the bride and groom and then she captures the essence in the ceremony. She did an amazing job and there was not a dry eye in the house. It was personal, touching, and funny. Perfection!
Renee officiated our ceremony on June 18, 2016. She was utterly amazing! People could not stop talking about how eloquent and professional she was during the ceremony. She made both us and our guests laugh, cry, and be filled with happiness all at the same time. My husband and I come from two different religious backgrounds ... Catholic and Jewish ... and she was able to incorporate both traditions easily and made both families feel so welcome and at ease with the words she chose to speak. We highly recommend using her! She was just a lovely lady to work with! I hope maybe in ten years when we renew vows possibly renne will come back and officiate for us! :)
Renee performed our ceremony on April 22, 2016 and it was absolutely beautiful, unique and truly representative of our relationship. We struggled to find an officiant open-minded enough to embrace our "nontraditional" ideas (ex. wanting to be surprised about what would be said, no "til death do us part" vows, etc) and desire for a nonreligious ceremony. Renee was incredibly open-minded and created a one-of-a-kind ceremony for us that was short (at our request), but encompassed everything we had in mind. She handmade 2 questionnaire journals that we completed about each other separately. From them, she created our ceremony and we were able to hear everything for the first time on that day , making for a very romantic, authentic and genuine ceremony. The only things we chose were 3 short readings - Renee took it from there. We couldn't recommend her enough! Thank you Renee for contributing to the best day ever! With thanks, the Naples
Renee officiated our wedding on April 30, 2016 and everything about the ceremony was perfect! My husband and I filled out a questionnaire beforehand about our relationship and story and Renee captured us as a couple perfectly in her words. She was super easy going and really helped us plan a ceremony that brought out both my husband and my personality. I'm not one to cry easily but I did during our ceremony! Renee was amazing and so professional and also helped us through the difficult parts of a wedding as well (i.e. family drama). We would recommend her 100%!
Renee officiated my wedding on April 23, 2016. She was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. My husband and I started our officiant search a little late in the game, but Renee helped ease our worries and walk us through the planning process. Since we booked so late, we knew she would not be available to run our rehearsal as she was officiating another wedding that night. While this scared me a little at first, Renee came to our house on multiple occasions to help us plan, and run through the ceremony so we knew what to expect. The day of the wedding, she arrived early and checked in with us before the ceremony. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful. She took the time to get to know us and incorporated part of our love story into the ceremony. It was everything I could have hoped for. We still have people telling us how amazing our ceremony was. Everyone wanted to know where we found Renee because they just couldn't believe how great she was. Oh, our wedding day was also her birthday! It was so great to share two special occasions with her that day. I would highly recommend Renee to anyone looking for a wedding officiant!!
Renee was amazing. From the moment we selected her for our services I felt comfortable and at ease that she was going to take care of our ceremony. Her attention to detail is superior and like no other. I would recommend Renee and her services to any bride as she is truly above the rest. Thank you Renee for everything you assisted in making our day very special and we are very appreciative!!! XOXOX
There is absolutely nothing negative I can say about Renee, she was an amazing addition to our wedding. Lots of our family complimented on how beautiful our ceremony was. We fell in love with Renee the moment she said she was a hopeless romantic because so am I. She was very sweet, kind, so soft spoken, and just really loves what she does and loves everything about love. She was flexible on what we wanted to do in our ceremony, we were able to incorporate our daughters, and she was able to do something we gave her that she had never done before and did it flawlessly. She also had the religious background that was really important to us and that we were able to incorporate in our ceremony. We thank her for a beautiful and memorable ceremony!
Our ceremony was absolutely perfect! Renee made wonderful suggestions and gave us tips on writing our own vows. There was not a dry eye left that day! Our friends and family are still raving of our ceremony in October! Getting in touch with Renee was a breeze, she responds to emails, and is very organized! We loved Renee and will recommend her to everyone!
We were fortunate enough to have Renee officiate our wedding this past October. Renee was an absolute pleasure to meet. Renee was very flexible and would always find a way to accommodate our schedules. She took the time to get to know us as a couple so that she could help us customize a ceremony that best fit our personality. With her guidance we were able to create the perfect ceremony for our big day. We couldn’t have been happier with how everything came together. If you are searching for someone who will help make your wedding day memorable then Renee is the perfect choice.
Renee made our day so special! From day one she made us feel relaxed and she genuiely cared about both of us and our union. She married both of my husband's sisters ahead of him so we had to complete the trifecta and use her for our ceremony. Having already witnessed 2 of her ceremonies we absolutely knew it would be beautiful, and it was. Thank you, Reneé!!
Renee was amazing! You can tell she loves being a justice of the peace! She truly made our wedding ceremony special. The ceremony was completely personalized; the right mix of serious and sentimental, with plenty of uplifting and funny moments. Meetings with her were always very calming, she put us completely at ease (very much appreciated in the midst of stressful wedding planning). We have received so many compliments about the ceremony from friends and family. After we got back from our honeymoon, we received a beautiful hand-made book made by Renee that contained our wedding ceremony printed out (prayers, vows, readings). The cover was even in our wedding colors! It's such a beautiful memento, and just another reason we loved working with Renee.
Renee was truly one of my most favorite elements to my wedding. She was so calm and warm, and I truly felt that she cared so much about our union. She met with us in her home, and I felt I was talking to someone I had known for years, and she went through so many details that I would have never thought of! She truly made our ceremony custom to us, and we had such a wonderful experience with Renee. I recommend her to anyone who truly wants an intimate, custom ceremony experience filled with love and warmth.
One of my best wedding vendors, thank you so much Renee, we truly treasured you!
We were looking for a justice of the peace for about a week and no one was returning our calls or email. A friend of our recommended Renee Carle. So we gave her a call and she answered right away. She performed our ceremony on Oct. 9 and was absolutely fantastic. She kept in touch with us during the weeks following up to our wedding and she performed the ceremony beautifully. It went just how I imagined. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who actually cares about performing your ceremony! Thank you Renee Carle for everything you have done to make my wedding ceremony amazing!
Renee was amazing!! I agree 100% with all the reviews on here she made us feel so comfortable from day one! She was also extremely patient with us and our wedding party! A lot of guest at our wedding said they loved her and how everything she said was amazing and her tone of voice was perfect!
We have to agree with the last review and say that we cannot say enough good things about Renee! From the beginning, she made us feel very comfortable with the planning process. It is hard to express your feelings in words in front of your friends and family! Her own words during the ceremony were beautiful and I could not help but cry tears of joy. She helps remind you of the reasons that made you decide to plan the wedding in the first place, even when you are feeling overwhelmed with planning. Thank you Renee!
I cannot say enough good things about Renee. With all the wedding stress, working with her was one of the easiest things we got to do along the entire process. She was a pleasure to work with and made our ceremony a personal one that reflected us in so many ways. She was highly professional, flexible and accommodating, and brought such a thoughtful and insightful view to the most important part of our wedding day. I would give her an enthusiastic recommendation!
Renee is wonderful! From the very moment we met her we knew we wanted to use her as our officiant. She was so friendly, professional, and quick to answer all of our questions. She also helped us create a ceremony that was perfect for our style and what we envisioned for our wedding day. She is also extremely flexible and was always available by email. Our friends and family had commented on how lovely of a job she had done for our ceremony. She speaks so eloquently and has such a soothing effect when speaking with her. She even made us a beautiful book with our entire ceremony printed out in order and gave it to us after the ceremony. We will cherish it forever. Our certified copy of our marriage certificate was in our mailbox before we even got back from our honeymoon. She is not only an exceptional officiant but an even sweeter and tremendous person. We highly recommend Renee. You will not be disappointed!!!!
Renee officiated our wedding on May 2, 2015 at Wadsworth Mansion, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience both in the planning process and on the day of the wedding. In researching officiants, I had watched what seemed like hundreds of reel clips, and none touched me like Renee's had. While watching clips of Renee officiating complete strangers weddings, I found myself crying. Her voice, her words and their delivery were unbelievable. They were perfect. She made me feel the love between these couples and that's what I wanted my guests to feel during our ceremony; the love my husband and I had created. We set up a meeting, and we knew within the first few minutes we knew Renee would be the perfect person to lead my husband and me into the next chapter of our lives. Her warm and kind spirit was contagious, and she evoked a feeling of comfort and love that put us completely at ease. It was like having a conversation with an old friend. She also gave us wonderful material to help plan our ceremony and was always there to answer any questions we had and offer her expert advice. For our ceremony, anything we wanted Renee was more than willing to make a reality for us. After our ceremony, she presented us with a beautifully decorated transcript, which has become a favorite wedding keepsake and something my husband and I can reminisce with for many years to come! For me, the ceremony was the most important part of our wedding day, and Renee met and exceeded every expectation I had set for it. We still have guests comment on how touching and meaningful our ceremony was. I highly recommend Renee to be your officiant if you want your ceremony to be romantic and all about the love you and your significant other share!
We had the privilege of having Renee officiate our wedding. She did such a beautiful job! Working with Renee was great, she was incredibly flexible, and let us design our wedding to our liking. We received lots of compliments of the warm presence Renee had. She help set the tone that the wedding was about me and my future husband.
Thank you again for the beautiful service!!!
We contacted Renee to do our ceremony after we saw her officiate the wedding of a college roommate. We thought she was good when we saw her and when we met for the first time we realized she was PERFECT. We were unsure if she was going to be able to adapt her style from what we saw at the wedding to what we were looking for, and boy were we pleasantly surprised. She is so adaptable and is willing to cater her style and approach to whatever you are looking for. We could not have been more pleased.
In addition, Renee was upfront and honest about pricing, prompt with replies, and even helped with our late-acting sisters who sent things to her at the last moment. She was a real gem.
If you are looking for someone for an officiant I highly recommend Renee. She was professional, so, so kind, personable, and made my partner and I feel like we were the only people on the planet. WE LOVE RENEE.
