Victoria O. Milne Albany-Adirondack-Saratoga Officiant

l. We heard about her magical ceremonies from our wedding planner and even before the first call we had with her we knew we were in great hands. She checked in with both of us often which was so appreciated and it was clear she is so passionate about what she does. I knew our ceremony was going to be special, but she blew my expectations out of the water and it gave us memories that my husband and I will cherish forever. Truly the best day of our lives (so far) and we have her to thank for being a huge part of that. I love how she made the ceremony so "us", nothing we were not, and helped us be so present with her words, each other, and the moment before us. She was wonderful in working with us to figure out components of the ceremony that felt right for us, such as the ring-warming we did with our guests, and having us pause to take deep breaths to center ourselves in the present moment and take it all in. The day before our wedding she asked us if we wanted to sit for part of the ceremony and though we at first thought we didn't need to, she quickly convinced us by saying it would help us be less distracted and prevent us from getting tired of standing. We are 100% happy with our choice to sit because it allowed us to fully take in everything she was saying and be so present (since most of the ceremony was a surprise to us too!) It was nice to not feel like I had to be looking around at our guests and it allowed me and my husband to still hold hands and give each other glances and special moments as we listened. Victoria's enthusiasm was incredible - our guests thought so too! We had many guests tell us they had been to so many weddings but never witnessed such a beautiful ceremony (we agree). She led the room with such a vibrant, uplifting energy and it truly felt like an angel was leading our ceremony. We chose to write our own vows, but Victoria was kind enough to give us her feedback when needed and I know with confidence if we had chose to have her write ours they would have been amazing. Also when we came back to our room at night, we found 2 roses and a sweet letter from her that we got to read together at the end of the night which was a beautiful sentiment. I had no idea a ceremony could be as personal as ours was, and now that it happened I feel that is exactly how it should be. We loved too that our guests got to know us on a deeper level that day because of the beautiful personal touches Victoria put throughout the ceremony. I will recommend her to every person I know getting married for the rest of my life and I hope someday we are lucky enough to witness her magic again in person because she is an absolute gift.

pt us strong and what we look forward to in our future was heartfelt and genuine. She truly took the time to get to know us, both individually and as a couple, then crafted a very personal ceremony that didn't feel manufacturered or generic in any way. She has a true gift of seeing things even you may overlook and touching on all the things that are important in life and love. The guidance on including special pieces and mentions of our parents who have since passed was particularly touching, and something we will treasure for many years to come. We would high recommend her services!

the time to write a letter from our dog’s perspective and surprised us with it during the ceremony. She is the most thoughtful and creative person. We are so glad we had her!!!!! My husband and I can’t stop talking about how great it was, thank you Victoria!

ything that is important to us and put it in our beautiful service. It felt as a family member married us.. We hold what Victoria does in the highest standard.

the right questions to capture the essence of who we are as a couple. No detail was overlooked from the vows, to the unity element, to the roses and love letters left in our hotel room. They were very accommodating every step of the way. We cannot wait to celebrate again on our first anniversary and renew our vows with Victoria and Alexandria!

n't be happier with how it turned out. Victoria took the time to get to know us and spoke as though we'd known her forever. The ceremony was everything we could have asked for. She helped us find a perfect location for the wedding and kept in contact throughout our planning process. She was also able to provide the witnesses we needed. We will continue to sing her praises and recommend her to everyone we know looking for an officiant.

tears to everyone's eyes. I would highly reccomend her and am very thankful she was able to accommodate us on such short notice.

e and makes an amazing custom cermoney that your guest will talk about days after the wedding . Thank you so much for being part of our day ! Tyler and Jen

Events, I could not believe the power and amazing projection of her words. She included special details of the bride and groom which gave me goosebumps because her voice penetrated the entire ballroom. I will never forget what a beautiful and touching ceremony which she performed. I would definitely recommend Victoria to all the couples looked for a special and memorable wedding experience. You will absolutely LOVE her and be SO happy you selected her!

ust perfect for my husband and I! She made it a priority to engage in our love story and really getting to know us as a couple. We could not be more thankful for everything Victoria did for us during our wedding planning process and on the day of our wedding. Our family and friends could not say enough about how beautiful our ceremony was. We would highly recommend Victoria to anyone!!

n isn't appreciated until after the ceremony is over. So during Lindsay and Chris' wedding, it struck me that I see what most don't and I wanted to share that with couples seeking officiants. I observe the many phone calls and conversations in digital format she has with her couples as she gathers information about what is important to each person, a talent honed over the years. I see her spend tireless hours drafting , adapting, and rewriting ceremonies as she learns new bits of information about the couple to end up with a ceremony that always exceeds their expectations. From the telling of the couples love story, to engaging guest in during the ceremony and the uniquely crafted unity element, Victoria puts her all into each ceremony. It is difficult for a couple to understand how much effort may be exerted by a true professional, so I hope this gives a small glimpse into the important task Victoria performs...The Wedding. It is always and honor and source of pride to see Victoria deliver a ceremony to remember!

ed as possible. She really helped us keep focus on our relationship as well even with the craziness of wedding planning. She had us complete simple tasks that reminded us of why we were getting married in the first place which was fun for us! We got so many complements on our ceremony and what she created brought tears to many guests eyes. She went above and beyond our expectations to ensure our wedding went off without a hitch, even lending a helping hand to reconfigure an hourglass we used for our ceremony when the set up wasn’t perfect. If you are looking for someone who gives you 100% of their time and attention and makes you feel like family then Victoria is the right officiant for you!

eam. She responded in a timely manner to all of our questions, she was very engaging and personable, and she created the most beautiful wedding ceremony for us. Guests are still remarking how well Victoria encapsulated us as a couple in our wedding ceremony. Through the whole process, Victoria was in communication with us and she helped us work through challenges in the wedding planning process. We would highly recommend you choose Victoria as your wedding officiant! She truly made our ceremony special and unique to us.

. What Victoria gave us was a beautiful, personal and amazing ceremony. I am so happy that I let her use her talents and give me the day of my dreams.

our first phone call with Victoria, we knew she was the one, we felt very comfortable with her. Victoria seemed very genuine, discussing how she personalizes our ceremony in a way that reflects who we are as a couple. Victoria exceeded our expectations! Our ceremony was filled with love, warmth, and emotion all because she really took the time to get to know us on a personal level, which led to a very personal service for us. All of our family and guests have raved about our ceremony, especially the job Victoria did. They have all said it was beautiful, so personal, warm, and loving. We could not be happier that we chose Victoria to marry us. It was so much more than we ever expected it to be!

vibe of the ceremony we wanted. She also took time to get to know James and I without being intrusive or taking up a lot of our time. This allowed her to create a personal ceremony which we will always remember. Our guests all commented on what a great job she did too. Thank you Victoria for making our wedding dreams come true!

g the ceremony, she started off with our “how we met” love story, then looped in a couple readings, then our vows, and then the best part, our custom unity element piece- a pair of keys that mean something special to the both of us. After the ceremony, she placed our love letters in the room we were staying in at the wedding for us to read to each other after the wedding festivities. Loved this personal touch! She went above and beyond building out our ceremony, which was only 20-30 minutes at our request. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

n with, like family. She understood and respected our desire to mix Catholic with non-traditional elements to match our personal lifestyles and our families' wishes. Her ideas and her welcoming personality made our day extra special and totally unique. Here we are, 8 years and 2 kids later, and we still keep in touch with Victoria. For both of our babies, we invited her to celebrate and officiate a non-traditional blessing Ceremony. This included a special way to invite our guests to create something that our girls will hold on to as they grow up, a special reminder of how much they are loved. Thank you, Victoria for your thoughtfulness and your friendship.

hing. Her name kept popping up and all of her reviews were nothing short of amazing, so I decided to have my wife give her a call, as I am a bit shy and had no idea what to say. From the first call, we knew she was the one....price didn’t matter at that point. She talked to us for a bit to get a feeling of what we were about and what we wanted out of our ceremony. She promised nothing short of amazing and exceeded our expectations. She personalized every touch, and even came through when I had a few surprises for my wife, to include our children. To say our ceremony was special doesn’t begin to describe it. Victoria.....thank you for “uniting our family in marriage.” Lol. You’re an amazing lady and a beautiful soul. We will never forget you.

he handled the rest, from the venue, food, and photos. What she recited during the ceremony was beautiful. I would recommend her to anyone looking to baptise a child.

houghts, but helpful with ideas and planning. In our ceremony, Victoria incorporated little nuances of our relationship she gleaned from our talks, meetings and emails. It was truly special listening to her represent us. We highly recommend Victoria, she will not disappoint!

lly put in so much work to make it feel as though she had known us for years, she helped create a day that we and our guests will never forget.

what we were looking for in a ceremony, but not necessarily how to make that come to fruition. Though we live out-of-state and were planning to get married in Vermont, Victoria made our limited availability work and was able to put together a perfect ceremony that was absolutely representative of us and our outdoor setting in the mountains! She helped us select readings and told a beautiful story of how we came together that made guests laugh, cry, and stay engaged throughout the entire ceremony. Many of our guests spoke afterwards of the connection that they felt during our ceremony and how truly personal and heartfelt it was, and two months later we are still hearing about the lasting impression it had with our guests! Victoria patiently listened to what we said in our discussions as we worked through what we wanted and was able to channel that into our ceremony beautifully. She cannot be matched in her inspiration and professionalism in bringing together a custom ceremony that was exactly what we were looking for! Victoria is wonderful to work with and it is beyond clear how dedicated she is to this and the personal connection she is able to make with her couples on such a big day in their lives! Victoria, thank you for putting together such a lovely ceremony that incorporated every element that we were looking for and (patiently!) working with us every step of the way! I would highly recommend Victoria to any couples looking for an officiant!

g. We initially thought we could have a friend officiate, and realized quite late that we were in over our heads. That is when we found Victoria. She was incredibly accommodating in working with us, and very understanding of our limitations in being unable to meet with her personally until the rehearsal dinner. In the weeks leading into the wedding, she worked with us over the phone, and then guided us through writing our thoughts about each other and our relationship. The ceremony she produced from that was absolutely perfect for what we wanted it to be. She had really listened and understood us, and created words that sounded as though they came from someone who had known us for years. She also added a beautiful unity ceremony which perfectly captured who we are. Her professionalism and competence took a huge source of stress away from us. You simply can't go wrong with Victoria. We are very thankful for everything she did for us.

ceremony was. Several even said it was the best ceremony they had ever been to! We loved working with Victoria. She is incredibly creative, resourceful, and professional. From our first meeting and emails leading up to the big day, she was quick to respond and helpful in answering all of our questions. She was exactly the person we were hoping to find to marry us. It's very apparent that she loves her work and truly cares about all of the couples she works with. Really look no further because this is the person you want handling this very important day!

that she truly wants to get to know you and know your relationship and truly feels involved with you along the way. From the very first meeting we knew she was the one we wanted to officiate our wedding. We met on a few occasions and she really got a sense of who we are as a couple and incorporated every detail into our ceremony right down to the vows. I can't recommend her enough! She will really make your day so special.

our first and final meetings which was a very special touch. She listened to our vision and really put in the effort to craft a ceremony like no other, that was so uniquely us! She really took time to get to know us, figure out what is important to each of us and find ways to honor and incorporate it into our ceremony. I continue to hear compliments from guests, raving about the ceremony!

did. She planned everything to the smallest detail and made the ceremony very, very personal. She requires meeting with her a few times prior to the wedding so that she can get to know you and put a lot of personal details and thoughtfulness into the ceremony. Everyone at the reception spoke to me of what a beautiful job she did! She far exceeded our expectations in every way and we give her our highest recommendation!

rsonality. She had a ton of different ideas about what to include in our ceremony. Overall, we had a great experience with her, and would recommend her to everyone.

ony and vows. Our unity piece was unique- instead if the traditional candle or sand, she took our story and love to travel and gave us a suit case, in which we put our vows in and have been instructed to fill with little things from our adventures together. Her personal touches didnt end there, either. After the wedding she left a surprise gift in our room - instructed us to read our love letters to each other and we had a personal letter from her. It was so personal and beautiful and with all of the chaos of planning a wedding she made sure to bring us back to each other. It helped us remember what our wedding was all about-us. Her personality is so calming and kind. we clicked immediately. The pre-wedding activities and meetings were never boring or run of the mill. Victoria still checks in to this day, which is special to us. And, to top it all off, my guests were blown away by how special (and not boring haha) our ceremony was. People are still asking who officiated our wedding and I'm always happy to pass Victoria's information on.

nce we where having an out of state wedding we had some travel hurdles to overcome. She accommodated us through video/conference calls when we couldn't be up in NY to meet with her, and met with us when we could make it up. She created a beautiful ceremony based on our unique relationship and really helped tie together our special day. When the night was over, we were greeted by a beautiful surprise left from her in our rooms that we will cherish forever. If you are looking for a sweet, customisable, and unique ceremony Victoria is the Officiant for you!

ng the experience even more wonderful! Not only were we extremely pleased with the service, ceremony, and accommodations, but she truly enjoys what she does and brings those extra things to each and every moment! Victoria made our ceremony so dedicated towards our love story, but made it easy, lighthearted, and so specific all at the same time. We especially loved the surprise at the end of our wedding night! If you are looking for one on one attention, dedication, and experience with faith all at the same time, she is your GAL!

ria kept in contact with us throughout the planning process and was very involved to make sure our ceremony was everything we envisioned. She made our day very personalized, meaningful, and unique. We will always remember our special love story! We are so grateful for Victoria’s role in our wedding.

days leading up to it more special by helping to tell our story in a way that only someone who lives and breathes love and faith could. Her creativity and positivity is mind blowing. The excitement she encouraged along the way, words of wisdom, and open communication meant the world to us. She is definitely a wedding vendor who becomes a friend and part of your life. Best decision we made was to have her create a personalized wedding ceremony for us. Thank you again Victoria! We love you.

w she captured our uniqueness and the meaningfulness and symbolism in every aspect of the ceremony. We were especially touched that she chose to wear a saree for the event - it was a beautiful surprise! Our guests all remarked on how beautiful the ceremony was - thank you, Victoria!

to meet with us and to learn and tell our entire love story through our beautiful ceremony. Everything was so special and personal, and our vows and ceremony will be one of the best memories of my entire life. We wrote love letters to each other that we only shared with Victoria, and then got to share them with each other on our honeymoon. We has a unity that brought all of us together. Victoria is the best wedding officiant, and if you want your love story to be truly yours and told In a beautiful and eloquent way, please do yourself the honor of asking Victoria to be your wedding officiant. She is truly an amazing person, and we will be staying in touch with her and hopefully renewing our vows in another special ceremony in years to come with her. Victoria stays close to you before, during, and after your wedding, and deeply cares for all of her couples.

ind ceremony. I especially love how she involved our guests in the ceremony— for example, asking ALL of them to pronounce us husband and wife. She was also super happy and excited to incorporate our idea of a “tree-planting” ritual into our ceremony— an unusual idea, but we feel it was an awesome one! The ceremony she created truly helped us feel a sincere and beautiful coming together of our love and our loved ones, which we will remember forever. We also invited Victoria and her incredibly kind husband (who helped hand out our wedding brochures!) to stay for the entire reception— and we are so glad we did! Our entire family just adored them, they truly helped make the whole day and evening so magical for us. I HIGHLY recommend choosing Victoria as your officiant if you are looking for someone kind, open-hearted, and ready to take on any unique ideas you may have about your ceremony!

d to find just the right spot to be married in the Adirondacks. Victoria was helpful and flexible for us AND so much more. She listened about our families, our relationship, our spiritual beliefs, what was important to each of us, how we share our lives together, and plans for going forward. What could have been a quick exchanging of rings and signing of legal documents was crafted into a beautiful ceremony that uniquely honored each of us, our relationship and our families who were near to our hearts... but not the private spot we chose to get married at. ... About that... Victoria (bless her!) and her wonderful husband/our witness and photographer agreed to hike a little ways through the woods to a misty bank on the AuSable River as the sun was rising to marry us at. She is just the best. Professional, warm, understands what's important.

She is able to mix in old traditions with new in a seamless manner. I couldn't have imagined a more special and unique ceremony that captivated all of our guests. Her organization and creativity make her a must have choice for wedding officiant!

first meeting, we knew she was what we needed, she made us feel relaxed, she was kind heartfelt and listened to what we were envisioning for our ceremony. This continued from the first meeting to the day before the wedding! The day of our wedding my husband and I and our guests were amazed at how the ceremony was prepared to fit us. Guest talked about the ceremony throughout the night and for weeks following the wedding calling it “personable” “the best ceremony they had ever attended” one guest ever admitted he would normally dose off during ceremonies at wedding however told us ours was intriguing, exciting, romantic personalized and kept his attention the from the beginning till the very end. The ceremony captured our shared our culture, family of origin, faith, even out personalities along with telling our love story. Victoria took what we envisioned and made it better then we could have imagined. Even after the wedding we were continued to be surprised with how Victoria would check in with us and continue to remind us in beautiful ways what a blessing our love and marriage is. We are forever grateful for her contribution to our perfect day!

r relationship means to both of us and put it in our vows. Thank you Victoria!

and I had known that I wanted to have her officiate for us also. Victoria cares deeply about the ceremony she gives her couples. She puts her heart into it and makes it a one of a kind ceremony. She captured our love story perfectly and our vows were so true to the couple we are. My Husband and I are huge cat people and she even included their names into our ceremony which was a wonderful surprise. We received many complements on our ceremony and how beautiful it was. We just watched our video back last night and again loved every part of it. It’s wonderful knowing that our commitment to each other as husband and wife and our vows were written by us through our love letters to one another, and will only be for us. Not any other couple. If a one of a kind ceremony if was you are dreaming of, Victoria can make that dream come true.

rocess if i needed anything. I love how she had my husband and i write love letters as our vows to eachother and at the end of night she gave us our letters we wrote eachother. I still to this day consider her a close friend who has gone to lunch with me and also wrote excllent recomendation for me. She is a very kind women and is good at what she does.

you how many people have told us it was the most beautiful ceremony they have ever been to. Victoria is creative and very talented. I guarantee you will be pleased and she will help you create the wedding of your dreams.

ame sex couple, we didn't have an idea of what the ceremony would look like. Victoria spent many hours with us to develop the moment that fit us as a couple. Many of our friends and family were taken back by how the ceremony truly reflected us and was the perfect start to our day.
