Serenity Ceremonies by Rev. Orsella

She is phenomenal! She was so kind and helpful throughout the wedding planning process. I really wanted to get married outdoors in November so it was a bit chilling. The day of she was able to condense the ceremony (so our guests didn’t freeze) without impacting the ceremony. The ceremony was personal, funny, and meaningful. I cannot recommend Rev. Orsella enough!

This review is long overdue but we could not let the year end without letting Rev. Orsella know how special she is!! From the moment my husband and I finished our consultation, we just knew that we wanted her to officiate our wedding. We had other consultations where we felt like it was simply a business transaction. Rev. Orsella leads with love! You can tell that she really has a passion for what she does and cares deeply about each couple that she works with. Rev. Orsella was able to capture our love story so beautifully and share it with our guests in a meaningful way. Orsella is professional, responsive and keeps great communication with her couples. We were able to specially customize the way we wanted the ceremony to be run and include our special touches like jumping the broom. When we had technical difficulties during the ceremony (the mic cut out), Orsella did not miss a beat! She continued with the ceremony and projected her voice so loudly for all our loved ones to hear. During the reception and the days following our wedding, we got so many compliments on the way Orsella conducted herself in our wedding. We are so thankful that she was a part of our special day. We hope to be able to work with her again in the future for our vow renewal :). Orsella, you are truly blessed. Keep being the bright light that you are!

One of the best decisions made for our wedding was choosing Orsella as our officiant. Not only was she professional, but she was personable. It felt as if we'd known one another for years. Everyone commented on her officiating, even provoking one guest to grab her contact information. We're excited to use any of her other services in the future.

We had an amazing time working with Rev Orsella. She really took the time to get to know us during our premarital counseling sessions and helped ensure we would have some of the necessary tools for a successful marriage. We had less time for our ceremony due to weather delays and she did exactly what needed to be done! She received so many compliments from our guests and some thought we knew each other for more than 3 months! I would recommend Rev Orsella over and over again.

My husband and I had the pleasure of having Rev. Orsella as our wedding officiant; this was the best decision we could have made. From beginning to end, she did an incredible job. She took time out of her schedule to ensure the ceremony would run smoothly. She created a ceremony outline and provided a thorough love story detailing the love my husband and I have for each other. When jumping the broom, she added so much enthusiasm and had our friends and family join in on the excitement. During the reception, all of our guest- friends and family raved about Rev. O. It makes a difference when you have an officiant who is vested and gets the assignment done. Rev. O was nothing short of amazing. We can not thank her enough for making our day so special and memorable.

Rev. Orsella officiated our ceremony. She asked us both to prepare our own version of our love Story. The day came and she did an amazing job combining our thoughts and stories together. She really takes her time to get to know her clients and perfect the ceremony needs. Her voice is so soothing that it actually calmed my nerves down. Almost like a safe place in front of 230 people. We were so happy with our decision on picking her! One of our favorite vendors of the day.

My husband and I had the pleasure of having Rev. Orsella as our pre- martial counselor and our wedding officiant. Pre-marital counseling was something that we knew we needed but we also knew we had to find the right person. Rev. Orsella was THE ONE. We are so grateful for her guidance while we took the serenity journey. Through this journey we learned a lot about ourselves and each other. We gained helpful tools to handle challenges and disagreements. After each session we felt closer to each other. Our ceremony was amazing. She captured our love story beautifully. We are so thankful. Rev. Orsella you are amazing. Thank you for sharing your advise, time and love with us. We are a proud serenity couple.

Where do I begin?! I have so many positive words to share when it comes to Reverend Orsella and Serenity Ceremonies. Rev. Orsella was one of the absolute highlights of my wedding day. My guests all assumed that she had known my husband and I for years because the ceremony she designed was so personalized and poignant. Initially, when my fiancé and I began planning our wedding, I insisted we write our own vows because in my mind that was the only way that I could ensure that the ceremony really reflected us as a couple. Rev. Orsella was happy to accommodate that, but as the date I approached, I wasn’t sure I wanted the pressure of saying the *perfect* thing that would express how important my soon-to-be-husband is to me. There was also a part of me that wanted to keep more personalized vows between the two of us. Ultimately, we chose to let Rev. Orsella lead a traditional ceremony and it was the best decision. I didn’t have to stress and she managed to capture the specialness of the day. I know if I had attempted it I would have started ugly crying at the altar. I would recommend Rev. Orsella because she is a gifted writer and orator. She also cares about the little details (like getting that license signed, among other things!) and will ensure that your ceremony reflects your personalities and relationship. On top of everything else, she was gracious enough to stay for our reception. I am pretty sure our guests who sat at her table had the best time as well. I really could go on ad nauseam. I’ll end by saying, you will be beyond grateful if you choose to make Rev. Orsella part of your big day.

My husband and I couldn’t be more grateful to God for placing Rev O in our path. She was such a blessing in navigating this transition in our lives. Our ceremony was phenomenal and all of our guests raved about her because she actually takes the time to get to know you and your spouse. Plain and simple….. She understood the assignment! My husband and I also signed up for premarital counseling, and Rev O was nothing short of amazing there as well. It really does make a difference when your officiant is vested in making sure they give you the tools and resources to needed to make your marriage succeed. My husband and I absolutely love her and we still catch up to this day!

Rev. O was referred to us by our wedding planner. From the initial consultation, we knew she would be a great fit. She had similar core values, but never made us feel pressured about anything. We participated in the pre-martial counseling so that she could take the time to get to know us. She was patient with us and customized our sessions to what we needed to prepare for marriage. She is so personable and always made us feel supported, which was important to us. She always found the silver lining in our sessions and created different ways to help us feel more connected. Our wedding was postponed twice due to COVID and she was there every step of the way. She brought me comfort during that difficult time and made me feel okay about that loss. For the wedding ceremony, she wrote a customized love story to share with our guests. We had no idea what she was going to say, so we heard it for the first time during the ceremony and she executed that piece so perfectly we couldn’t be happier. Also to my surprise, she even dressed in our wedding colors. We are so thankful for her mentorship and she will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

My husband and I would highly recommend Rev. Orsella and Serenity Ceremonies. She did our premarital counseling and she officiated our wedding. She was recommended by our wedding planning and from our first email exchange, I knew she was perfect for us. The premarital counseling was great for us. My husband and were together for 11 years before getting married so we figured we knew what to expect in marriage but Rev. Orsella really helped us see that our marriage was a new chapter and she helped us prepare for it. She took the time to really get to know us and wanted to see us succeed. The wedding was perfect and I feel lucky to have had Rev. O officiate it. She was on time, professional and made a sometimes "boring" part of the wedding, entertaining for us and our guests. Friends nd family were raving about how great our officiant was for weeks. We really enjoyed working with her and hope to keep her in our lives for awhile.

My husband and I were married this past summer in July 2021. I searched high and low for an officiant of color (this was something that was important to us) and was having a hard time until I came across Rev. Orsella’s name in a Facebook group. Now let me tell you she did not disappoint! From our first meeting (which was virtual due to Covid) she had such great energy and we immediately felt a positive vibe. I told my then fiancé she’s it and he agreed. She tailored or ceremony so well to our love story our guests thought she had known us forever. I still don’t know how I could possibly thank her enough for making our day/ceremony perfect. Yes I said perfect. You just had to be there! To this day our guests still compliment how well she officiated our wedding and it is still one of our favorite moments of our special day. Thank you Orsella!!!

Serenity Ceremonies delivered the ceremony that was a perfect match for me and my partner. We had interviewed a number of officiants, and Orsella stood out from the beginning. She took the time to truly get to know us, connect with us, and understand who we were and what we wanted to convey during our ceremony. She was also collaborative and offered some thoughtful options of how we could further make the ceremony our own. And the day of -- Orsella was perfect. The stories she told about us were personalized, touching and true to us. and she engaged our guests through her presence, positivity and charm. One of my cousins said it was like a wedding he'd only ever seen on television. Many of our guests commented on how amazing she was and asked how we found her. Orsella was also an incredible resource when it came to the legal and logistical part of our wedding. She helped us navigate a tricky marriage license situation and was so responsive throughout the whole process. Working with Serenity Ceremonies was truly a gift.

Reverend Orsella was phenomenal from start to finish. I actually found her by using theknot.com while on a hunt for an Officiant. She was the only Officiant we had interaction with and it was a set deal during our first consultation. We also did marriage counseling through Rev. Orsella which was a great experience. Reverend Orsella is very personable and relatable and she was able to get my husband to open up which was very impressive. We love Rev. O and if your looking for the perfect Officiant to make your day special she is it!!

When you work with Reverend Orsella, she will tell you right away that her clients are more than just clients, that they're family. While that may sound cliché, after working with her, we can assure you that it is not. We genuinely looked forward to all of our premarital sessions with Rev. O and were sad when they were over. We first booked with Rev. O in June 2019 for our September 2020 wedding, but we unfortunately had to postpone our original wedding date due to COVID-19. Rev. O was so flexible, kind, and patient with rescheduling that it took a lot of anxiety out of our planning. Because we were a COVID postponement, we went a long time between our final premarital counseling session and our actual wedding day. That didn't matter at all. Speaking to Rev. O, even after the long break, was natural, easy, and fun. It was like we'd spoken every day. To say that she did an incredible ceremony would be an understatement. She really listened to us during our sessions, incorporating our language and personal stories into our ceremony in ways that felt natural and organic to the entire audience. She blended the right amount of scripture and secular language, satisfying both religious and non-religious attendees, and perfectly capturing our relationship. After the ceremony, multiple friends and family members of all backgrounds and beliefs approached us to tell us how moving Rev. O's words were. Many members of our family approached her directly to inquire about her services, with some even reaching out for their own events. It would be difficult to imagine our wedding without Rev. O, and it simply would not have been the same without her words and guidance. Thank you Rev. O!!!

Orsella is incredible.. don’t even ask yourself twice, BOOK HER! It wasn’t even a question in my mind to hire her for our wedding. She genuinely gets to know you as a couple and tells a true love story because she knows you… she makes the process so easy. We received so many compliments about her for guests, everyone was saying how amazed they were by how good of a job she did. On top of her amazing work she blends in like she is a guest at the wedding - she truly felt like family. She captured such great pictures and videos of our reception as well. Serenity ceremonies is the best !!!!!

I cannot say enough about Rev. O! We tired the knot on August 30, 2021. She was part of the reason that my wedding day felt like perfection. After staying steadfast to keep our intended marriage date on the books during the pandemic we met with Rev O via Zoom throughout the entire process. From our initial meeting, we fell in love with her and decided to also utilize her for pre-marital counseling. She really helped us get prepared and navigate some of the issues that we would face as newlyweds. She was extremely responsive and professional through it all. When she promised a personalized wedding ceremony, boy did she deliver! Her words showed us that she took the time to really listen to us and hone in on what made us special as a couple, what we meant to each other, and how our lives were interwoven. Her words brought my husband and much of the wedding guest to tears. My personal favorite was the bit of history she provided when we jumped the broom. We'll be back again down the line when we renew our vows! For any couples considering Rev O, look no further she will exceed your expectations.

My experience with Reverend Orsella was absolutely amazing!! In time of covid 19 and everything being cancelled at any minute, Reverend Orsella made our wedding day such a blessed and peaceful experience. We're forever grateful for her diligence, dedication and efficiency most of all her genuine sprit of encouragement especially in this time of covid. At the last minute our venue changed and we lost our DJ. Reverend Orsella doubled as our officiant and DJ during the ceremony. We just love her! and will forever be thankful for all of her support. Don't think twice book Reverend Orsella and Serenity Ceremonies!! you won't be disappointed.

She was absolutely the best! Even during COVID she checked on us.

Orsella was soooo AMAZING!!!! We could not have asked for a better person to marry us. She made it so much fun and personalized. I highly recommend her services to anyone who wants a memorable wedding you will not be disappointed. All our guests said they loved her!! Her communication from start to finish was excellent!! We are so truly grateful to have found her!!!!

My wife attended a wedding where Orsella did the officiating. She said that she was really good. What we didn’t know was just how good she really was. When we got engaged, she was literally the one and only person we reached out to and we’re able to book over a year out from our wedding. Our initial phone call went so well that I had zero interest in speaking with anyone else. She reminded me of family. Orsella was not only professional but she extremely personable. She also offers premarital counseling before you walk down the aisle. Our wedding changed several times due to the pandemic and Orsella was right with us and was fortunately available for each date we switched to. On our wedding day, Orsella came beyond prepared. She has a whole timeline of the ceremony where she curated everything from the walk-in to signing your marriage certificate. She made delivering our vows fun and less nerve-racking. Listen... you don’t know me. So my word may not mean much to you. But I promise that after you have your first conversation with her, any other officiant becomes a memory. There were so many moving pieces during our wedding. Orsella was the one piece that slowed everything down and had everyone’s attention including our 4 year old son. Booking with Serenity Ceremonies should be the only decision in planning your wedding that feels like a no-brainer.

Rev. Orsella was amazing. From the very beginning she was clear and professional and laid out exactly what her process is and how she'd like to proceed with us. With that being said, working with her became a breeze. She had an agenda, she stuck to it. She fulfilled all of her promises and surpassed expectations. I'd definitely recommend her to others and look to use her for a renewed vows or blessings of other sorts in the future.

Orsella is amazing. She brings a degree of elegance, fun, and uniqueness to your ceremony. She truly takes the time to get you know you and your partner to help bring your ceremony to life. We are so happy we chose Orsella to marry us!

We met Rev. Orsella at a bridal expo in July of 2019 and hired her on the spot. Her energy, enthusiasm and just everything about her, was what drew us to her. We had a COVID wedding on 9/6/2020 in Massachusetts. Rev. Orsella travelled all the way from Connecticut to officiate our wedding. She really personalized the wedding, it was as if she knew us for our whole lives. The ceremony was 30 minutes but it was so much fun, we laughed, we cried tears of joy and everything about the ceremony was perfect. My husband and I would do it all over again just to have reverend Orsella officiate our wedding.

From the moment we asked Rev.Orsella to be a part of our wedding journey she has been nothing less than the best. Rev. Orsella provided us with everything we needed to start on the path to martial bliss starting with pre-martial counseling where we are able to openly discuss our expectations, fears and goals for our marriage during 3 ninety minute sessions and culminated with the design creation of a marriage vision board. She was so flexible. During our engagement we had several life challenges cross our path including a miscarriage, a pregnancy and the corona virus. At each step Rev. O was their to pray with and support us through each challenge, including random check-in text/calls just to make sure we were ok. She was even there with loving support when we decided to change our 150+ ceremony at a venue to a simple intimate backyard ceremony with 10 immediate family members, taking the time to include special touches that made our ceremony personal and memorable. We cannot thank her enough for everything she has done and would recommend her to EVERYONE looking for an officiant. Not only will she oversee your wedding ceremony but she will help thread together the fabric of your marriage with her one of a kind personality and professionalism.

Reverend Orsella is heaven sent. After our first consultation, my husband and I knew she was the only one we wanted to officiate our wedding. She truly has a passion for what she does and her energy and excitement is contagious. When COVID-19 hit, we were overwhelmed with stress, but Reverend Orsella was always optimistic. When we decided to get married virtually, she took the time and energy read up on marriage laws and call around to ensure our marriage will be legal. She worked with us the day before the wedding to make sure all the technical glitches were worked out. Then the day of, she delivered such a beautiful, moving ceremony that brought the guests to tears. We’ve gotten SO many compliments on how amazing our officiant was. We couldn’t imagine our wedding without her. When you choose Reverend Orsella, I can promise you, you won’t be disappointed. It’s just not possible.

Our ceremony was officiated by the AMAZING Rev. Orsella Hughes of Serenity Ceremonies. She provided full service, from wonderful counseling, location set up assistance, provision of sound system equipment, incorporation of thoughtful, personalized enhancements, to a beautiful ceremony and overall awesome wedding experience! You won't regret choosing her to officiate your wedding! -The Coreys <3

I really don’t think there’s enough space in this box to review just HOW much my fiancé and I love and appreciate reverend Orsella. When you’re selecting your officiant, it’s more than just taking a task off your checklist. To me I had to be able to connect with this vendor, this is the person who is BLESSING your union and joining you officially as husband and wife. From the minute I met Orsella I knew one thing for sure, she has heart and spirit and also is a ton of fun! My fiancé had not yet met her but we booked her anyways just off the feeling I got from that simple interaction. Since then we’ve grown our relationship, had dinner in our home with her and her husband and have had many laughs. Unfortunately due to the corona virus we had to postpone our wedding but Orsella was AMAZING through the entire process. “Whatever or whenever you need me I’ll be there”. I’ve never felt more certain about choosing her to join us in marriage and if you’re uncertain on who to choose I urge you to just have ONE phone call with her and you’ll be sure too. In a time of uncertainty and people showing their true colors in a time of crisis, Orsella sure stuck true to hers. She’s full of love and calm and I am confident on the day of our wedding, whenever that may take place as I walk down the aisle towards the love of my life; she will be there cheering us on. I have no regrets and only moments of THANK GOD we booked her for our wedding!

Our wedding would have never been the same without Pastor Orsella Hughes officiating our nuptials. I reached out to her roughly two months before our big day as we had an unforeseen change with the previous officiant. Pastor Orsella made herself available to us and she was always accessible. She gave us a completely customized wedding with very little time to prepare. When our wedding guests mention how beautiful the ceremony was, they most often mention Pastor Orsella. She is extremely professional and most of all, she is an ordained minister, so if it is as important to you, as it was to me, your wedding is sealed in Heaven and on Earth! Husband and I are grateful she ended up being our marriage officiant—and we see now that it was meant to be! You will not regret booking Serenity Ceremonies!

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Serenity Ceremonies by Rev. Orsella. From our initial consultation, we loved her energy and connected with her enthusiasm. We don’t belong to any house of worship, so we appreciated her unique process for getting to know us and our love story. Rev. Orsella was thorough and very accommodating. During the ceremony, her officiating was so sincere that it moved nearly all our loved ones, wedding party, and us, of course! We were very pleased with her service and strongly recommend Serenity Ceremonies!

My dear Arsella, on behalf of my husband and I we would like to thank you for making our dream wedding an unimaginable experience. Words cannot describe the joy you brought to our lives with your professionalism, the blessings you stored upon us with good grace from the Lord during our ceremony. I have no other words that could best describes our time with you during our wedding but all My husband and I can simply say is your services and our experience with you was impeccable and we highly recommended and will recommend you to anyone who is in the need for an experience efficient such as yourself. Thanks again for everything  With love, Mr.&Mrs. Ulysse

Sean and I were just married on October 4th, 2019 in Rhode Island. Reverend Orsella was our officiant. From the first time we met her, we knew she was the perfect fit for us. All three of us just clicked! She was involved in the planning of the ceremony and made sure it was everything that Sean and I wanted. If we had any questions, she was always available . We really enjoyed our talking sessions and she made the whole wedding process so much easier. During the ceremony, she kept the guests engaged and lead such a beautiful ceremony. Her energy radiated throughout the room and guests are still speaking of it. We are so appreciative that Reverend Orsella was a part of our wedding day!! Cannot thank her enough! - Ashley and Sean

Rev Hughes is vibrant, caring and her energy is contagious. A true listener & story teller. She brought life, love, humility, laughter and so much to our ceremony, not a dry eye in the house! I loved how excited she was to learn about us and incorporate all of our personal touches, vows and requests to the ceremony. Best decision we made was hiring Rev. Orsella for our wedding <3

Reverend Orsellla was outstanding. She created a ceremony just for us based on our conversations and our wedding website. She is a very nice person and she is easy to talk to. We recommend her to any and everyone who wants a professional who takes pride in providing optimal service. Our day was amazing and she helped make it possible. Shanté and Le’Viticus

Rev Orsella is the absolute best wedding officiant! My fiancee and I wanted a spiritual wedding ceremony despite the fact that we did not get married in a church. We were also living in Washington DC and planning our wedding in Atlanta GA. Reverend Orsella was supportive of our needs and even accommodated our limited time in Connecticut by combining two of our counseling sessions into one extended session. Orsella is hilarious and personable, which made it easy for us to get to know her leading up to our wedding. Rev Orsella was responsive throughout the entire process. We arranged for her to arrive in Atlanta just a few hours before our rehearsal started (very early in the morning) however, Orsella still arrived to the venue early, excited, and ready to begin our run through. She felt like family! During the reception, our guests would not stop raving about how much they loved the ceremony! She sent us the ceremony outline well in advance with enough time to make any changes if needed. She sounded polished yet unscripted during our ceremony and I could tell that she was genuinely happy for us. I would highly recommend Rev O!

I can’t start to explain how amazing Rev.Orsella is. From the first day we met her we knew she was the perfect officiant for our special day. She is professional, down to earth and just an amazing soul. She made me feel so comfortable and walked me through everything I should expect before the ceremony which made it run smoothly. Her words were so heartfelt and my family and friends loved every moment of the ceremony. I’m so glad I chose Rev. Orsella for our special day as it would not have been as amazing without her. Thank you again Rev!!!

We had the pleasure of having Rev. Orsella during our wedding in Manassas, VA. She exceeded our expectations and ensured we had a short, but powerful ceremony for my husband and I, and guests to witness. The process of working with her was flawless from beginning to end, and she eloquently shared our story at the wedding. I would recommend Rev. Orsella as an officiant at any wedding if you are looking for a friendly and spiritual voice for your big day!

Where do we start...working with Serenity Ceremonies exceeded our expectations with her professionalism and detail with planning the ceremony for our special day. Words cannot express the gratitude that we have for such a caring individual such as Reverend Orsella. The 5 stars represent her commitment, accessibility via email and phone, sharing ideas, flexibility, and dedication to making our experience unique to our dreams.

Rev. Orsella was personable, and amazing! She was quick to respond to all questions throughout the wedding process and has many different options to choose from to make a wedding ceremony that fits our personalities. She really added a personal touch to our ceremony that made our day extra special and my husband and I were thrilled with our choice!

My husband James and I were excited to celebrate 40 years of marriage. As we began to plan we talked about renewing our vows. We reached out to Orsella Hughes of Serenity Ceremonies. Orsella was OUTSTANDING! She added a personal touch by coming to my home to meet with my husband and I to discuss our vision. She prayed with us was available whenever we had a question or concern. Due to the service Orsella provided she made our celebration a night to remember.

From the first time my wife and I met Orsella we knew that we were in good hands; we sat over coffee and instantly we clicked - what we were looking for in an Officient was not only someone who was experienced with the task, but also someone that we would be comfortable with while at the altar; Orsellas personality stood out instantly and we knew it would be her we would select. Months, weeks, and days leading up to our bit day Orsella checked in via texts and emails to see how we were doing and always dabbing a bit of advice to us along the way - and we appreciated it all. The day of the wedding we couldn't have asked for a better person to usher us into our union; the flow of the ceremony was flawless, and what we appreciated the most was some history behind the 'Jumping the Broom' that we performed- we were taken back, along with guest with the new knowledge given. Orsella, we would like to thank you again for helping make our day a special one! Much Love, The Burkes

We booked Rev. Orsella to be our officiant and to our suprise she became much more ! She was very flexible starting with pre marital counseling sessions via FaceTime because our ( my fiancé & I ) schedules were so busy at the time . She took her time to learn about us individually and then as one . She gave us an opportunity to see each other from a point we’ve never been . It felt as if she reconnected us on another level . TAKE THE COUNSELING SESSIONS ! She also took what she learned from our sessions and made our ceremony personal . She’s a very professional woman but very down to earth and I love that about her . Of course I’m not getting married again but I’d definitely book her again !!

Rev. Orsella - A Blessing For Us We were so lucky to have found Reverend Orsella to officiate our wedding earlier this month. Before meeting her, she was very responsive to our inquiries, which we appreciated because wedding planning could become extremely stressful when dealing w/various vendors and businesses. When we met her, both of us felt so at ease, and thought that she would be perfect for our ceremony. She made our day even more special by incorporating certain spiritual elements which we requested, along with humor, tranquility, and a strong but warm and welcoming presence. In addition to both of us, our family and friends were extremely happy w/the flow and content of our ceremony. She made it very personable so we were extremely grateful for that. Rev. Orsella is an exceptional person, and it showed in her approach when dealing with us leading up to our big day, as well as during our ceremony. We felt at peace with God, ourselves, each other and our family and friends. Thank you, Reverend Orsella for making our day so fantastic.

Words cannot describe how grateful my new husband and I are that we have Reverend Orsella Hughes in our lives. She is a constant breath of fresh air and made our ceremony not only memorable but beautiful and everyone who attended made sure to tell me. She went the extra mile to even incorporate a musical number because I met my beloved in karaoke! Orsella was so supportive throughout the entire engagement and reached out numerous times to check in. She kept me calm and incorporated every detail we could ever dream of on our special day. We love her so and want to stay involved in her couples dinners! Thank you, Reverend O. You are the absolute best at what you do and we consider you part of our family.

Wow. Where do I begin when talking about the Serenity Experience? One word.....AMAZING. Reverend Orsella officiated our wedding exactly one month ago. From the beginning, my husband and I admired her professionalism, sense of humor and her love of God. Which was a plus for us. We utilized her premarital counseling service, which we enjoyed very much and would highly recommend. During our first session, we prayed, we laughed, we joked and happy tears were shed. She taught us different strategies that we apply in our marriage and everyday life. That was just the start of many sessions with her and we always looked forward to the next. One "wow" factor was her remembering a certain personality trait of a family member that we discussed briefly during our first session. This proves that she took the time to understand us. It was at that moment, we felt like she was more than our officiant, she was a part of our family. I would often call her "cousin" and she embraced it immediately. She helped customize our ceremony outline with keeping our love for each other and children as the primary focus. Our guests are still in "awe" at the awesome job she did at our ceremony. She attended our rehearsal, rehearsal dinner and even stayed for our reception with a smile and positive energy the entire time. I can go on and on about Reverend Orsella and how she truly blessed us. Five stars just isn't enough for our remarkable experience. I would recommend Reverend Orsella in a heartbeat, she's the best!
