She said don't worry, for some reason when I do a wedding the weather always ends up being fine. Well, her winning streak continued, and it was a clear day with no rain in sight. Seriously, I think Cindy has special powers haha. Thank you so much Cindy for doing such a wonderful job and for all your care and support. We appreciate you!

We are so glad we hired Lucinda to be our wedding officiant! She did such an incredible job and delivered a perfect ceremony exactly as we had hoped. Initially we were thinking of ...
having a friend officiate the wedding but decided to go with an experienced professional as I was really nervous about having all eyes on me and standing up in front of all of our guests during the ceremony. Just knowing Lucinda was comfortable & experienced in officiating ceremonies put me at ease. After our ceremony I can't even count how many guests came up to me and my parents to compliment the ceremony & officiant, saying how well done it was. I had a number of guests even ask me "who was that woman? she was incredible!" and a few even asked me "was that your aunt? she knew you two so well!" Lucinda officiated our ceremony with a confident yet casual manner, making all of our guests feel at ease and comfortable. She made the guests laugh, cry, and held their attention throughout. I would highly recommend Lucinda as a wedding officiant!

Cindy was amazing from the moment I sent in the inquiry needing an officiant. My husband and I wanted to do a small intimate elopement and didn’t really know where to start. Cindy ...
walked us through the entire process, and made sure our ceremony was tailored to us and exactly what we wanted. She took the time to incorporate our story into the ceremony and it was really special. Cindy was flexible with our location as it changed a couple times even 1 day before due to weather. Cindy even offered her husband to take a few photos for us, since it was just an elopement and we didn’t have any guests. We were so thankful he was able to capture our moment for us, as otherwise we wouldn’t have had any pictures. I highly reccomend Cindy/weddings by design for your wedding day! Thank you so much for making our day so special!

s ample amounts of materials to work with. She was so optimistic and kind. She was so patient with us and I am so grateful for her. As New Yorkers coming to Cape Cod for our getaway nuptials, she walked us through the process of obtaining a marriage license through the state of MA. If it weren't for her guidance, we would have missed our opportunity to get one in time for the wedding! She truly makes herself available to any questions you may have and was a stellar officiant.
