Rev. Lynn Gladstone, Interfaith, Same-Sex Weddings

ant, especially one that didn't know us, but she really did tell our story beautifully! I would definitely recommend!

mony. I have been to some outdoor ceremonies that were over in a blink of the eye, which is not what we were looking for. Lynn met with my daughter and her fiancé before the wedding, and they created a beautiful and meaningful 30-minute ceremony. Lynn talked about their personal lives together and how they met, and she helped them choose meaningful readings. My daughter had 3 flower girls and one ringbearer, all born in September! Lynn asked our guests to sing Happy Birthday to them, and it was just magical and memorable. The ceremony was lovely and touching! We couldn't have asked for anything more, and we highly recommend Rev. Lynn Gladstone.

iage would be. Lynn also really personalized the ceremony and worked with us to create something meaningful and that reflected our personalities. She was also a joy to be around day of, very professional, calming, and organized. My husband and I were both told by guests how much they enjoyed the ceremony, which was amazing. I sometimes think guests just want to get through the ceremony to get to the party, but Lynn's ceremony was both entertaining and meaningful. Highly recommend!

and our story and made our wedding day extremely memorable. She even got custom gifts for our parents,. We can't thank her enough and she is a true professional. We would recommend her to all other couples looking for a fantastic Reverend.

ng up to our ceremony. We had had many conversations in person and via Skype with Lynn. She sent us several long questionnaires which were completely necessary for my wife and I to fully understand the commitment we were making as well as to allow Lynn to get to know us better. We are not a religious couple and Lynn beautifully executed a ceremony that was non-denominational yet spiritual and inspirational. We wanted a short ceremony and somehow Lynn still made 25 minutes chock-full of love. She got us: she knew what our love was about and what are challenges were. We couldn’t imagine this journey without her.

n with her. She was super easy to talk to and we had felt like we had known her for a long time. After the conversation, we absolutely knew she was a perfect fit for us. We filled out detailed questionnaires that allowed her to get a little more insight on our relationship but we also sat down at a coffee shop to go over these questionnaires. We were able to laugh about funny stores, first dates, and reminisce.. which really gave her a great picture of our relationship. We wanted a wedding ceremony that was spiritual and personal. She did just that and more. She had given us a number of readings to choose from for our Reader to use and suggested many other options to make our ceremony unique. We ended up having a Wine Box Ceremony instead of a unity candle.. and it still to this day is something that our guests talk about. Each word of the ceremony was perfect. It was filled with just the right amount of personal stories / personal touches mixed with spiritual aspects of a more traditional ceremony. I went outside of my comfort zone to write my own vows, as this is something my husband wanted to do. She gave me the courage to know that I just need to be in the moment, just me and him, and I was able to do it. Looking back, I am beyond happy I did this. We have had so many guests talk about what a beautiful ceremony it was.. perfectly worded, unique in many ways, and how it was "so us". She really put a spin on it to make it "Our Ceremony". She ended up staying for the blessing before dinner and again made everyone smile with her perfect words. Thanks Lynn, the day wouldn't have been the same without you!!! xo

remony to make sure our day was truly special. Our guests noted her as one of the highlights of the day and we couldn't agree more!

that everyone loved. She is a warm, lovely woman and I am very happy and honored that she was the one that married us. Thank you Lynn for making it so special!

My husband and I are an interfaith couple- Jewish and Lutheran. She combined both religions so beautifully. The ceremony was something our guests keep coming back to. We were extremely pleased with Lynn and look forward to working with her again for another chapter in our life.

as easy to work with, professional and is a great listener. We had several wedding guests tell us it was the best ceremony they had ever seen. We can't recommend Rev. Lynn Gladstone highly enough! - Amy & Dan (married Aug. 29,2015).

olic and while we didn't want an overly religious ceremony we definitely wanted to feel that the ceremony represented both our faiths and families. Creating a ceremony that combines two faiths so flawlessly and lovingly is truly a gift. Our feeling that Reverend Lynn was perfect for us was solidified after our very first phone conversation and only got stronger as we worked with her to create our perfect ceremony. Her passion and dedication to every detail is outstanding... She truly gets to know her couples as deeply as possible. She gives all of her attention to the couple and what they want to express in their ceremony. By the time our August 1, 2015 wedding was upon us we really felt as if a family friend was about to marry us. Her guided hands and faith in marriage and support is tremendous.. For us we knew that our ceremony needed to be the most important, touching, memorable part of our wedding day. Reverend Lynn has a unique way of bringing a couple even closer on so many levels leading up to their marriage. Our families were so thrilled with how our ceremony brought everyone such joy. Everyone is still talking about how beautiful it was. In short Reverend Lynn is such a blessing and incredible person and Reverend.... Thank you Reverend Lynn ~ The newly happily married Jennifer and David Beckerman, Boston MA, August 2015

zed it to my husband and I. She is such a warm person and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone. -Kristin Spiers

service was religious, but we were both a little concerned about our families reactions to an interfaith ceremony. At the end of the day, people could not have been happier! We continue to receive so many positive remarks and sweet responses to the ceremony that Lynn performed and we'll forever remember how special it was for us to have such a meaningful and personalized wedding service. I would highly recommend Lynn Gladstone to anyone couple looking for a very special ceremony. Thank you, Lynn!

eremony with our closest and loved ones. Lynn proved to officiate a ceremony nothing less than amazing. She is a highly perceptive and loving person, with a true gift to illuminate and communicate the lives and love of two people together. She was an integral part of the ceremony and we now consider her a life long friend for being part of and contributing to such a special day. We will be eternally grateful to Lynn for all the work she put into making our wedding ceremony incredibly special.

hought of getting married, but neither or us wanted the fanfare or the stress that sometimes comes with a wedding. One night over dinner, Steve jokingly asked me if i wanted to elope in New York (we're Aussie's btw). We had already planned and paid for a month long tour of America and were planning to be in New York over New Years Eve. A few nights later, i went back to Steve and told him that i wanted to talk seriously about his 'joke'. By the end of the week it was settled. We would be married on the Gapstow Bridge in Central Park on NYE. After breaking the news to our families i immediately started research on elopements in NYC and became super excited. First matter of order? A fabulous wedding celebrant. I jumped straight onto 'The Knot', my go to wedding guide, and searched for officiants in Manhattan. My eyes were immediately drawn to Lynn's friendly and warm profile picture and after my first contact with Lynn, i knew she'd be perfect for our occasion. No fuss, no muss. Lynn got straight to the heart of what we wanted for our day by asking the right questions and listening to our wishes. Steve and i are not dedicated to a particular faith, so we didn't want any reference to religion in our ceremony. Lynn took this into consideration and crafted the most beautiful ceremony, albeit 10 minutes long. We wanted something short and sweet and she certainly delivered. Standing on the Gapstow Bridge in her fabulously groovy officiant attire, she opened with as verse from each of our favorite musical artist's which didn't leave a dry eye on either of our faces. Everything that followed, right up until the official announcement of 'i now pronounce you man and wife'was said from the heart, which clearly shows that Lynn loves doing what she does. Lynn, i am honored to write this testimonial for you and again want to take the opportunity to thank you for making our day so memorable and special.I hope our paths cross again some day. If anyone is considering eloping or marrying in New York, i highly recommend you get in touch with Lynn. You won't be disappointed. Summah and Steve Married 31/12/2014

ing is picking an officiant, that you never met, and relying on him/her to deliver a meaningful ceremony. Picking Rev. Lynn was the best decision that we made by far! She constantly stayed in touch via email and telephone throughout the months leading up to our wedding. She was able to draft a ceremony that was unique to my wife and I. It wasn't a cookie cutter ceremony that could be found over the internet. Our guests and family were amazed at the way she "tells her story" like she has known us for quite some time. We are forever grateful for everything that Rev. Lynn did for us and we highly recommend her to future brides and grooms.

to get to know us deeply as a couple. The questionnaire was incredibly fun, and provided Tim and me with an opportunity to reflect on our relationship. It was one of the most thoughtful and meaningful activities we engaged in before our wedding. After in-person meetings and review of our questionnaire, Lynn crafted a beautiful, honest and intimate ceremony. By the time our wedding came along, Tim and I felt like we had known Lynn for years. We were comforted by her presence with us at our ceremony. During the readings, Lynn commented on our journey as a couple, our strengths, as well as wise marital advice. It was beautiful and perfect. Countless guests commented on how personal and intimate the ceremony was--many said it was the best they had witnessed. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Lynn for our wedding. She was instrumental in making our wedding a day we will never forget.

d groom to get to know them. She did a spectacular job in organizing the ceremony flow for fit the needs of the bride and groom. She was early onsite and made sure all paper work was taken care of prior to the ceremony. I would recommend Lynn as the officiant for your own wedding!!

ies happy and content, given that our families came from different religious backgrounds - Jewish and Muslim. We also added to the list that we did not want the ceremony to be too religious or too mushy. She went back - thought about it - and delivered to us the full text of a ceremony that incorporated our cultures in a light and refreshing way. For this we are forever grateful. What made it even better was that the wedding guests - weeks later - could not stop raving about how beautiful the ceremony was. Lynn intertwined our cultures with beautiful poetry and light humor, and the result was an amazing and memorable ceremony that we will forever remember.

us, and understood what we wanted for our wedding day. We set up a meeting and when we met face to face it confirmed what we already had thought, that she was in fact the perfect person to tell our story. Lynn listened to us through the whole process, took careful time and consideration when drafting our ceremony and made sure that it was really US. She took the time to get to know us and was able to portray everything beautifully to our guests. All of our guests raved about our beautiful wedding ceremony, she truly touched all of them and she truly touched us.

every meeting with Rev. Lynn and thoroughly enjoyed planning our service with her. Our ceremony was eloquently written and truly celebrated us as a couple. Our wedding guests were as delighted with our ceremony as we were and are still singing the praises of Rev. Lynn. We would highly recommend Rev. Lynn to anyone!

s very warm and welcoming, and helped us articulate the things we wanted to say. During the rehearsal, she was organized and helped us walk through the day's events, which was very helpful since we did not have an official wedding planner to do so. After the ceremony, we had many complements on how touching and personal the ceremony was, and Lynn helped us get there.

Jewish tradition and that is what she delivered.

and customized it to our personalities, faith, families (and even coordinated her outfit to our color scheme). Her website is very helpful, and she was highly responsive. She also donates a portion of her fee to the charity of your choice. Our ceremony was outside and she was a bit softspoken for our friends and family in the back row, but I have no doubt she will make that adjustment in the future. If you, too, are worried about trusting this moment to someone you don't know, you will be in good hands with Lynn. She also does ceremonies for children, and we plan to use her when we enter the next chapter of our lives together!

us, expressed through the most profound nurturing, divine grace, and gentleness of spirit, completely turned my husband's condition around. The doctors, nurses, and, most especially, the hospital chaplain were, and continue to be, astounded by Lynn's healing. She gave my husband HOPE, and a reason to live. That is every bit as powerful as modern medicine. Our gratitude is exponential. Jessica and Andrew Schaefer
