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!

I could not have planned this ceremony any better without the help of Cindy of Weddings by Design. She understood our concerns about not knowing what to write or say and she gave us 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.

Kara S

We couldn't have been happier to have Cindy officiate our wedding! She was there to help with questions or details every step of the way, and she went above and beyond to make sure she got our ceremony exactly how we wanted it! Cindy made sure to check in with us as our wedding grew closer, and was diligent in sharing each detail. We were so honored and happy to have her officiate our wedding ceremony, it was absolutely perfect!

Cindy was the officiant at our 10/9/2022 wedding and I have nothing but amazing things to say! She was very easy to work with and very communicative over email. Cindy curated an incredibly heartfelt wedding ceremony for my husband and I, and her presentation was impeccable on the day. Although she did not know us beforehand. Cindy made us very comfortable and spoke about us as if we were family. On our wedding day, there were 30mph winds and Cindy pushed through like an absolute champ. I would highly recommend hiring Cindy!

Cindy was the best since the day we contacted her through to our ceremony. She was very thoughtful, genuine, and creative. She truly helped to make our ceremony extra special.

Cindy was an AMAZING officiant. She was very helpful in navigating the process of rescheduling our 2020 wedding to 2021 and making sure our ceremony was everything we had hoped for!! During the day of the wedding she just did a fantastic job! The whole thing was made easier by being able to pick and choose parts of our ceremony from her samples.

Cindy was an excellent officiant for us. We had only spoken to her via phone and email before the wedding day, but in that time she was able to help us craft the perfect ceremony for us.

Cindy happily agreed to do our covid-era micro-wedding on rather short notice. She sprang into action, interviewing us almost immediately to get a sense of who we were as a couple, and then sent a bunch of potential material for the service and vows. We picked and chose elements we liked, and introduced some of our own, then Cindy put it all together into a coherent whole. She was very responsive and made it all come together in plenty of time. On the day of the wedding, she was on time and ready to go. The service went beautifully and Cindy was an integral part. We were happy to have her there and appreciated her professionalism and friendliness.

Cindy was a pleasure to work with, from the initial meeting to discuss our plans and collaborating to create a ceremony that was perfect for us, to adapting to more than a few major changes. Thanks to her help, we were able to have a simple, beautiful Cape wedding outdoors with family by our side.

Lucinda Graham (Cindy) was great to work with! She met with us early in the planning process, provided us with ample ideas for writing our ceremony, and was flexible based on the changes that we made. Through the COVID-19 challenge, she stayed in regular communication and supported us in moving forward with our social-distanced ceremony. In terms of logistics, our wedding was on a public beach and Cindy's voice translated excellently - all of our guests were able to clearly hear the entirety of our ceremony. Overall we highly recommend her!

We found Weddings by Design online because we wanted to get married on Cape Cod and wanted an officiant who would help us tailor our service to our preferences. Cindy had many suggestions and sent us several examples to choose from, combine and modify. She was flexible in terms of location, date and time. She spoke beautifully with warmth as well as professionalism. She was the perfect officiant for us and we'd recommend her highly.

Cindy is a wonderful officiant for weddings. When you first meet with her she'll explain her role and will give you some examples of past wedding ceremonies and examples of parts of the such as readings and unity ceremonies. You can plan your ceremony with her via email. I ended up wanting to write my own ceremony and get input from Cindy on its length and flow. She did a great job working with us on the ceremony and officiating the day of. Highly recommend!

Cindy was fantastic!!! She was very professional and easy to get in contact with the entire time. She explained things to me that I didn't know of or understood and ran me through the entire process. She was also very prompt with paperwork too! We were originally going to have a friend marry us but he mixed up the dates and was away on vacation on our wedding weekend and I'm so glad I found Cindy to perform the ceremony. I was told by so many guests after the wedding that she knocked it out of the park! I would definitely recommend her - a 5-star rating!

Cindy was fantastic to work with. Upon meeting, she provided us with several ceremony options and allowed us to use them to customize our ceremony exactly how we wanted it. Additionally, she was willing to provide feedback once we created our ceremony script. She was very professional to work with, yet also made us feel very comfortable every step of the way.

Katie P

9/07/2019

We're so glad we found Cindy to perform our ceremony. My (now) husband and I wanted to get married on a beach with only the two of us present. We picked Cindy because she has so much experience officiating all kinds of weddings. We knew that she wouldn't push us to do anything traditional we didn't want to do, and we knew she would take our event just as seriously as any larger wedding. We felt so comfortable the moment we met with her. She sent us many ceremony examples that really helped us design the event. Everything went according to plan on the big day. Cindy did a wonderful reading of the ceremony and made us feel so comfortable. We're very happy she officiated our wedding and we highly recommend her.

Cindy was amazing!!! Since the first time we chatted via email to our wedding ceremony she was nothing but helpful! She listened to all our special details and even added in a personal story about us as a couple which was important to us. She gave us numerous options for vows and let us click and paste and add whatever we wanted to make it ours! She was so attentive to detail and making the day about us and giving us what we wanted! I highly recommend Cindy!

Cindy was an amazing JP! She provided us with different ceremony scripts and was very accommodating when it came to making changes. She incorporated different styles we wanted to add during the ceremony including a reading about the elements of the Earth. She was also always on time and very responsive to all emails and phone calls. I would give her ten stars if I could! She really took a lot of stress off of me when it came time for the rehearsal. She took control and made sure everything ran smoothly. Also it poured right as I walked down the aisle and it did not phase Cindy at all! She is excellent Julia

We started planning our Surprise Wedding towards the end of July, for our wedding date of August 17th. Cindy answered my emails in a very timely manor and called to initiate a meeting. We told our guests we were having an engagement party but it turned into a wedding. Cindy was on board to help us with the surprise and it went off without a hitch. Our guests were surprised and Cindy was so nice and fit right in with our family. A few people asked me who’s family member she was because she blended with us so well! She had us look over vows ahead of time and said she could help with any part of the vows if we needed it. Very professional and I would definitely recommend her!

Cindy was a wonderful officiant - she listened to our feedback and helped us create a ceremony that was truly us! She battled the wind at West Dennis Beach and kept our ceremony moving despite the crazy gusts. She was responsive and kind, and kept us laughing with a wonderful sense of humor. Cindy was kind enough to attend our rehearsal at the last minute (despite our initial decline) when I was feeling a little stressed. I am confident Cindy will make any ceremony memorable and unique - thank you!!!

Cindy was a wonderful officiant. She was professional, timely, and wonderful to work with. Cindy was very helpful when it came to putting together our ceremony and making it our own. I always received an email response within 24 hours (usually a lot less time) and had the ability to call her with any questions. We received great feedback as well from our family and friends who attended our wedding. All were impressed with the ceremony Cindy helped us to create. We highly recommend her!

In one word - Incredible ! Cindy made the process a breeze, this was a surprise for my Wife, we are together 32 years on September 4th, we travel to Chatham every year now for over a decade and we were going to be on the Cape on this date and I wanted to surprise her with a vow renewal and thankfully I was lucky enough to find Weddings by Design, Cindy was just outstanding in every way, from helping me through selecting dates to the renewal vows and setting up the surprise, she was in constant contact through the whole process and without her help it definitely would not have gone so easily, if you are looking for the most helpful, professional, pleasant person to guide you through and perform your wedding or renewal, look no further Weddings by Design is the place, they only have 5 stars to rate but Cindy is a 10 out of 10
