Storied Celebrations

was always available for any questions, and super easy to talk to. Our wedding ceremony was one of the highlights of our night, with multiple guests coming up to us to tell us how amazing the ceremony was. Julie made our ceremony really special and personal, sharing stories about us that made our guests feel part of our love story. I recommend working with Julie to all brides- you won't regret it!

lpful. She was very clear and thorough on explaining what to expect and what our options were. We opted to do our personal vows privately but Julie was able to provide a ton of beautiful vow options for the ceremony, as well as readings and ring vows. She also handled the paperwork needed to get our marriage certificate and was also very helpful in explaining what to do to apply for the marriage license, as well as reaching out after the wedding to explain steps for changing my last name. Thank you, Julie, for making everything so simple and leading of our beautiful ceremony :)

on the day of the wedding she was very crowd pleasing and everyone loved her! Highly recommend!!

she is, from the get-go, and she was very informative about how things usually work, as well as any neat spins we could put on the ceremony to really stand out and make it our own. Julie was always quick with communication, and willing to talk in person or over zoom to answer any questions we had. When we finally hit our big day, the ceremony went exactly as we wanted, and many guests came up afterwards and told us how great and unique the ceremony was. My husband and I couldn't have picked a better officiant and we would recommend her to anyone looking to work with someone who truly cares about making your day special!

d how beautiful and personalized our ceremony was. Our ceremony was probably one of the most complimented things of our wedding. We originally had a someone else officiating our wedding who fell through less than 2 months before the wedding- but we ended up being so grateful that this lead us to finding Julie! She got to work immediately with us, offering a no commitment video chat to get to know each other to see if she was good fit for us, and that was amazing- we ended up asking to sign with her right after meeting! We opted for the storied ceremony which was so personalized and incredible, Julie was quick to get a draft written after we answered the questionaries and she made as many edits and adjustments as we needed until it was exactly what we wanted! She made herself very available via email and phone, on top of the multiple scheduled meetings we had with her. She also met with us when we had everything set so we could go through how the ceremony would run and what to expect, and also provided us guidance on what to practice/ review, and tips to make sure we felt prepared. She got to the venue early before the ceremony to meet with our coordinators, and our DJ to go over music cues/ processional music etc, and also made sure to come meet both of us to make sure we were comfortable and ready, which was wonderful because it gave us some peace of mind knowing she and we were on the same page and knew what we needed to do. I can’t express how grateful we are that our planning path led us to Julie because she crafted the most personalized and magical ceremony- she asked us if we wanted a light hearted, emotional, funny, etc vibe and we wanted an emotional tear jerking ceremony, with some laughs and lighthearted moments mixed in, and she did exactly that! She had all our guests, and us, laughing and crying, and I don’t think anyone else could’ve made a more perfect ceremony for us. It was so personalized that we had a few guests who were shocked to hear that we didn’t write the scripts ourselves, and also that we didn’t know Julie at all until we hired her 2 months before the wedding (it was so wonderful some people thought she was a friend!). We can’t recommend her enough! She will make your ceremony so personalized with a Storied Ceremony, and your ceremony will be amazing with her! Thank you, Julie!!

with planning our ceremony, but Julie walked us through every step with care and expertise. She worked so closely with us to craft a ceremony that truly felt like us—personal, heartfelt, and completely unique. The love story she helped us tell was absolutely perfect, and we received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful and meaningful the ceremony was. Julie is incredibly talented at what she does, and we are so grateful she was a part of our day!

ted a beautifully personalized ceremony that perfectly captured our journey together. Her heartfelt words and engaging presence made our special day even more memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant! Highly recommend Julie to anyone looking to make their wedding truly special! Thank you, Julie!

es to customize our ceremony to exactly what we wanted. Not only that, she even gave us advice about applying for a marriage license in our respective county. She took care to ask us questions that we hadn’t even thought of (how do you want to be announced? How do you want the hand-off to go with your father? Who is going to have the rings during the ceremony?). I had zero worries on our wedding day, as she was able to coordinate with our venue and musicians on timing. The peace of mind that she brought was priceless, but her services are well worth the investment. Thank you Julie!

eremonies we have heard so many times at others weddings. From our first communication to the minutes leading up to the ceremony, Julie was kind, prepared, and skilled at her craft. We loved getting on zoom meetings with her because her personality is just infectious. She truly cares about creating your dream ceremony and has so much knowledge and many ideas to help along the way. We were able to create a completely unique and fun ceremony that all of our guests were raving about afterwards! The day of the wedding, Julie made sure she came and saw us and our bridal party to go over logistics before the ceremony. Everything went so smoothly and we felt so comfortable standing in front of a crowd with Julie along side us. We truly felt like Julie became a friend through the process and you should absolutely consider hiring her for your wedding officiant!

and was having serious communication issues. We had about 8 weeks to find a new officiant and create a brand new ceremony, and we ended up finding Julie. She saved the day and was able to put together a truly beautiful ceremony despite the quick turnaround. The ceremony was thoughtful and unique and really told our love story. We are so thankful Julie was available and made it work for us on short notice. Highly recommend!

erfect ceremony for us including our Love Story which she summed up perfectly. When it came to planning our ceremony she gave us so much information, different unity cermonies, vows, readings, etc. We had so much to choose from which is amazing, when you want this to be as perfect as possible. We loved how informative she was and easy she was to work with! She helped us know when and where to apply for our marraige liscense and after the wedding she handled sending it to the county. When things needed to be changed or tweaked she was more than happy to do so. On the day of when the memorial flowers weren't delivered and we had to improvise with the toss boquet, she was able to adjust and change the wording so it didn't say roses and just said boquet. I would recommend Julie to anyone who needs an officient, she is so kind, sweet, and caring. Julie was the perfect officient for our wedding and we are so grateful to her, I mean without her we wouldn't be married lol.

y so special! We couldn’t have picked a better fit.

ore beautiful job officiating our wedding. From the first moment we spoke with Julie up until the day of our wedding, we felt so calm and at ease knowing that she would do such an amazing job as our officiant. She was professional, kind, genuine, helpful, and supportive throughout the entire process leading up to our wedding. Julie spent time speaking with us during our planning meetings in order to ensure that our ceremony was everything that we dreamt of, which it truly was! We are so happy that Julie and Storied Celebrations were the ones to begin our marriage and highly recommend their services to any couple looking to get married!

y got to know us on a few calls before writing our ceremony personally for us. She provided a ton of resources for us to make our ceremony exactly what we wanted.

us they loved how personal our ceremony was and how Julie told a special story about us. She gave us a wonderful binder with all of our information/copies as well as a keepsake. Thank you Julie!!!

ligious ceremony so a religious leader was not an option). We are SO HAPPY we decided to hire a professional officiant, and especially happy that we specifically hired Julie at Storied Celebrations!!!!! It took SO much of the stress off of the wedding planning. Julie has officiated many non-religious ceremonies so she has tons of suggestions of non-religious readings, vows, etc. She has a great presence and made the ceremony feel comfortable even though we had only known her for a short time! She also shares helpful information on the marriage license and how to change your last name if that is what you choose. I trusted her with turning all of our paperwork in to the county so that we could get off to our honeymoon the next day! We had our marriage license processed before we even returned home from the honeymoon!

d put together a beautiful ceremony for us. She customized it in a way that fit us perfectly and made us feel so comfortable the day of the wedding! We are so happy we chose her to be a part of our special day and we received tons of compliments about her and our ceremony from our guests! I would highly recommend her and her company if you are still looking for an officiant! Thank you Julie!

mony, so we went with the simple and sweet package. Julie made our ceremony exactly that - simple and sweet with little touches that made it so meaningful to us. Julie was so helpful in walking us through the details of our processional, ceremony, and recessional. I would 1000% recommend Julie and Storied Celebrations for your wedding day! Thank you so much Julie!!

ional and great to work with. She made me cry at my wedding with her kind words during the ceremony. It was an amazing day and I can't thank her enough.

ing for us. We are Christian and we wanted to have a religious ceremony making sure we felt blessed and that the presence of God was there. Paster Deb had amazing prayers and blessings, we could not be any happier by how it all went! She was with us every step of the way before the ceremony as well, meeting with us via video and educating us on how to get the marriage license and other details. I would 100% recommend her to any Christian couple looking to get married at their Venue. She is the best! Thank you again, Bre&Pawel

s were always prompt, professional, and helpful. We did the “storied celebration” package and were so happy we did. We had an initial planning meeting to discuss the services she would be providing, and then she gave us questionnaires to fill out, both about what we wanted the ceremony to look like, and about our relationship and what information we wanted her to share about us with our guests. She took our ideas and wishes and turned them into a thoughtful and heartfelt ceremony. I would recommend her again and again.

ur entire day. Julie put together a ceremony that was everything we wanted and more. We wanted a ceremony that was full of not only love but laughter, and she did exactly just that! She made our guests both laugh and cry. We received countless compliments about our ceremony on how loving, intimate, and engaging it was from many of our guests. Someone said they want to get married just to have her do it. It was truly perfect. She is very organized and detailed with every step of the process. She really listens to what you want in your ceremony and crafts it to be very personal based on your love story. She went above and beyond by putting quotes from our favorite songs. She also gave us the idea to play Tic Tac Toe to see who will read their vows first, which we loved! We can’t recommend Julie enough if you are looking for an officiant who has true passion and love for what they do.

. Julie captured every single detail that we wanted to include. We wanted the ceremony to be different than a traditional one and she made that happen for us. From the little details to the love story she created for us, everything was perfect. Julie, we cannot thank you enough for making our day as special as it was!

enough that people cried but adding just enough humor that no one was sobbing! So many guests asked if she knew us because of how personal she made the whole ceremony. I couldn’t recommend Julie enough to anyone getting married in the future! She was a pleasure to work with, so kind, extremely inclusive, and over all so pleasant. Thanks for making our wedding ceremony something to remember! - Jessie and Kirsten

e is the calm to your day! Her presence is warm and inviting. The story she formulated was truly our love story and captured us so well. She not only planned our day but ensured we had the proper instructions for after! How to change your name, provided a binder and proper instructions to make the process less worrisome. She is the best.

through on our special day.

and helped put our worries regarding the ceremony to rest. Her presence was truly SO comforting as we exchanged our vows. I don't think our ceremony would've went nearly as perfectly without her!

e that we went with Storied Celebrations. Julie took the time to get to know us, made us feel comfortable and created the most beautiful ceremony. She kept it light, fun and meaningful. It was everything we could’ve wanted and more. Everyone still talks about how perfect it was. Thank you Julie!

ying close attention to detail to make sure that your ceremony is exactly how you envision it to be. Beyond being an amazing officiant, Julie is such a kind and welcoming person. We even raved about Julie so much that she will also be officiating at my maid of honor's wedding in fall of 2023. Another one of my bridesmaid's mentioned to me just this week (almost two months out from our wedding day) that her mom continues to talk about how wonderful Julie's ceremony was. I can guarantee you that you will not be disappointed with hiring Julie as your officiant. My husband and I would pick her again in a heartbeat!

y very personal based on our love story. Our guests have been reaching out saying how much they enjoyed listening to our ceremony and praised how well Julie made it unique to my husband and I. Julie was VERY responsive and helpful throughout the planning process from helping us pick our package to meeting with us to go over allll the details (big and small) to writing our vows. We have gained a lifelong friend in Julie and were so happy to have had her be such an important role in our special day! We can’t recommend Julie enough if you are looking for an officiant for your wedding❤️

y exactly what we were dreaming of! Our family and friends loved hearing 'The Love Story' Julie wrote! We were married 2 months ago and guests are still telling me how beautiful our ceremony was and how great the officiant (Julie) was! Some guests thought Julie and I were longtime friends, and that is how she truly makes you feel! If you are planning a wedding, Storied Celebrations should 100% be your next hire!!

reat with communicating and quick to respond. She is so knowledgeable about wedding ceremonies no matter what religion, and has pages and pages of readings and vows to chose from. The "Love Story" was one of my favorite parts! Julie truly gets to know you in just a few meetings/emails and puts together an amazing story that has your guests laughing and crying at the same time! She is the sweetest person ever and has such a great presence and voice. We are still receiving compliments on our ceremony weeks later, and I cannot stop watching our wedding video with Julie's words as the background! Once you send Julie your marriage license she takes care of the rest! Now hurry up and book Julie and Storied Celebrations for your wedding before your date is booked! Trust me, you will be so happy you did ! Thank you again Julie!

ough for everyone to do the love story!! Our guests LOVED IT. It brought so many laughs and tears to everyone. Guests are still raving about Julie and her professionalism, tone of voice, and overall way she makes your ceremony one you can’t forget, we can’t thank her enough!!

lly, and we especially loved how we “built our own” ceremony using Julie’s questionnaire and templates she sent over. I would definitely suggest working with Julie and the Storied Celebrations team! 10/10

ell spoken. We did the "Love Story" package with her, and the questions she asked us were so thorough and thoughtful, and helped her write an incredibly beautiful and moving ceremony that was the perfect length (~25 minutes) and really reflected our relationship well. She even helped us write in a super fun tradition that combined a Czech (myself) ceremony tradition with an Italian (my husband) one! Julie is also great under pressure - at the last minute, we had to move our ceremony inside because of storms, and she was so quick to make sure everything ran smoothly and ensure us that the ceremony would still be spectacular - which it was! As a bonus, the rain cleared quickly, and we were able to do the second half of the ceremony outside! Our guests absolutely loved the ceremony as well, and paid so many compliments to us about how personal and well-written it was, and how well Julie delivered it. Julie is an absolute sweetheart, incredibly professional and helpful, and should absolutely be your next vendor hire!

irst meeting with her that I wanted her as our officiant. I'm so glad that we chose her and would recommend her to anyone that has an upcoming wedding.

ommend Julie and her team to make your day even more special!

ery professional. She was also super helpful in guiding us with our marriage license and name change process (which can be tricky) so we we're so grateful to have her as a resource. Would highly recommend!

ganized, professional (but FUN!) and her depth of experience in officiating weddings shines like a diamond! (Pun intended) We knew we wanted a nature inspired, Pagan Handfasting Ceremony but I was concerned with finding someone who 1. knew what I was even talking about and 2. someone who could pull it off! Julie did both! She combined our ideals and scripts and blended them with some of her own to make our ceremony absolutely smooth, loving, inspiring and, best of all, PAGAN!! A million thanks Julie!! You rock!! Blessed Be ♥️♥️♥️

pecial!

weather on the big day was iffy, but Julie didn't bat an eye. We're so thankful for her!

connected with Julie's warm personality, but also her real interest in getting to know us as a couple. She had a lot of great materials for us to use to think about different readings, vow options, traditions & rituals. We did a ring warming ceremony and it was one of my favorite parts - our parents who are religious were able to "warm our rings" by holding them and giving them a silent blessing. It was a great way to honor them while keeping the rest of our ceremony non-denominational. She crafted a beautiful “Love Story” for us. On the day of the wedding, she was a huge comfort. She arrived early, and I saw her connecting with our photographer and musicians to make sure everything was set up. She was a calming presence, coming into the bridal suite walking through last minute suggestions keeping me at ease. And most importantly, during the ceremony she was fantastic. The ceremony was the perfect mix of light-hearted and funny, while also being serious/emotional. I am so glad I have a video of my ceremony - I have probably re-watched it 30x!

I really felt she captured us as a couple and wrote a beautiful ceremony. 6 stars!

communication, we were an out of state couple, getting married in PA, and were nervous about the final details that needed to go into our day. Julie was AMAZING, assuring us that everything would go as we had planned, and would be seamless. She came to the rehearsal and worked out all of the confusion about details that there was between us and the venue. We chose the Simple and Sweet package, and it was perfect. Julie made our ceremony personalized and unique. The whole evening, after the ceremony, everyone talked about how great she was and how personal the ceremony was. We would HIGHLY recommend Julie, and her company Storied Celebrations to anyone in need of an officiant for their wedding in northeast PA!

e not wrong! Julie delivered us a one of a kind ceremony highlighting our love story & it was more perfect than we could’ve imagined. Communication & zoom calls were so fun just chatting with her, she brings so much light to a potential stressful situation. Highly HIGHLY recommend Julie if you’re looking for an officiant. She’s so professional, yet fun and we don’t feel anyone could have made our day as special as she did. Thank you so much Julie!! :)
