My wife and I got married at Twenty Mile House in Graeagle – more than an hour’s drive from Reno. Carol more than happily agreed to officiate our wedding and she was fantastic. To start things off, we first had a phone conversation with Carol so that she could get to know us and hear about our story as a couple. Carol also helped us each craft and perfect our wedding vows. Honestly, Carol was so helpful in nearly every step of the way. Then during the wedding ceremony, Carol craftily wove our story as a couple into the ceremony oration. She really helped set the mood for the wedding: one full of love, laughter, & family. Our wedding guests were left laughing, crying, and excited to be there. When we decide to renew our wedding vows, we will definitely go with Carol again! Thank you so much Carol for helping make our special day even more special!
Carol is awesome; busy for an obvious reason. She answers all questions and even when others book a public site you did, she can find a fast resolution. We loved her!
It is with great pleasure that we write this review for Carol from Your Memorable Day, our outstanding wedding officiant. Carol truly went above and beyond in creating a personalized, beautiful, and unforgettable ceremony that perfectly captured our love story.
From the moment we met Carol, we were immediately impressed by her warm and friendly demeanor. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, listening attentively to our story and understanding our vision for a non-denominational and modern ceremony. Carol's ability to translate our love and unique journey into words was simply remarkable. Carol's talent as a speaker was evident as she flawlessly delivered our ceremony.
One particular highlight of our ceremony was the inclusion of an anniversary box, which Carol helped us incorporate. She not only guided us in choosing meaningful items to place inside the box but also explained the symbolism behind it to our guests. This added personal touch made our ceremony even more special and will serve as a beautiful reminder of our wedding day for years to come.
Throughout the entire process, Carol demonstrated the utmost professionalism and attention to detail. Her calm and reassuring presence on our wedding day allowed us to relax and fully immerse ourselves in the moment, knowing that we were in the best hands. We are grateful beyond words to Carol for her exceptional officiating services. If you are searching for an officiant who will tell your love story with eloquence while incorporating humor and light heartedness, look no further and choose Carol!
Carol was wonderful to work with! She created the ceremony in something that was more our style and what we wanted. It went along with the theme of our wedding and we loved the options she had for us to choose from. Definitely recommend!
Carol is the absolute best. I have known Carol for about 15 years I think... Ever since I because a wedding photographer there has always been a beam that shines over this amazing wedding officiant. Over the years I have gotten to know her personally and I am happy to tell you that nothing has changed on how I feel about Carol.
Each and every wedding is a different experience. She takes the time to learn about her couples, add their story to her readings and create a one of a kind experience.
It isnt uncommon to see Carol post 3-4 selfies a day with wedding couples. She is busy and fully sought out for good reason. Being a vendor myself I get to interact with her before and during a wedding. She is gold.
If you are here looking to see if she fits your wedding... She does. Book her. Be happy!
I got married on 5/4/23 and wanted a handfasting ceremony. Carol was fantastic from day one with providing information and her feedback. I wanted a non traditional wedding and she delivered. She was able to provide and guide me through writing the ceremony script. She even made some adjustments to make it flow better. Carol was very engaging with our guests.
My mom advised me later on that while I was getting ready, Carol had explained the origins of a handfasting ceremony to my flower girls who were thrilled to listen.
I 100% would recommend Carol for their memorable day.
Carol was the perfect officiant for our special day. She helped us make the perfect personalized wedding ceremony. Very organized & professional.
Carol made our ceremony so special! She communicated with us the entire time and answered all of our questions. The ceremony is exactly what we wanted.
Carol was absolutely amazing from start to finish! She was such a joy to speak to on the phone and made the whole process so easy. She was incredibly helpful with picking out which passages we wanted throughout the ceremony and was open to any & all suggestions. She attended and took charge of the rehearsal which made for a super smooth wedding day. I received compliments about her from all of my guests and I would recommend her to anyone!!
Carol was so great for our wedding! She was super easy to communicate with and planned the ceremony exactly as we were thinking! She told our story and made everyone laugh and enjoy the ceremony and helped managed all the bridal party and family!
Carol did an amazing ceremony for us. Though when we first met her she was a little passive aggressive. She was pissed we wanted to get married in the snow outside and was getting involved in our decision as a couple. It was very frustrating as it’s our day and it’s our decision of what we want to do.
Carol was amazing and everything we could’ve asked for. My family and friends were grateful for her storytelling about us and how our journey went. We loved her and she was extremely patient with us!
We chose Carol as our wedding officiant after a recommendation from a friend. What a wonderful person she is! After filling out a questionnaire and an in person meeting, Carol created the perfect story to share with our guests during our ceremony. She has SO many options to ensure her wedding speech is catered to the couple. She had the right amount of humor and seriousness and you can tell she's done this many times. We would absolutely recommend her!
Carol was great! She was on time, efficient and really helped my now husband (who had never been to a wedding) get organized and understand his role/where to stand/when to enter. Not only that but it was quite windy and she maintained her professionalism. She made our wedding feel very special and was a great addition to our wedding. Thank you Carol!
Carol was fantastic! She gave us options for the ceremony wording, helped us personalize it. Directed us at the rehearsal so our day flowed smoothly and made us feel entirely comfortable on our big day!!
Carol is truly amazing ! She's very detailed on what we requested as an officiant. Our ceremony was nothing but amazing and made the entire crowd feel so comfortable and had our guest enganged in the ceremony. If you're looking for an amazing officiant, Carol is definitely it !
Carol is an amazing officiant! She made the whole process very seamless and flawless. Carol was very fast in responding to my inquiry and she also answered all of my questions in detail. She is very knowledgeable and helped me when it came to the location of the ceremony which turned out to be beautiful. Her process is thoughtful and captured all of the important aspects between myself and the groom.
Carol was fabulous! When Carol officiated our wedding, she made the wedding fun, engaged with the wedding guests, and had people crying and laughing, which made our wedding day special! Throughout our wedding planning process, Carol was attentive to our needs and always available when we needed to talk with her. During the wedding, guests commented on what a wonderful officiant we had. We would highly recommend Carol!
Absolutely amazing all around!! Carol is the best and we are so happy we got to save her as the officiant at our wedding!
Carol was absolutely awesome. She was professional, personable, extremely helpful in helping with our vows and ceremony planning. She sent us so many options that kept the stress levels down and made it super easy to put together. She was extremely easy to work with and really helped make our special day extremely memorable. Thank you carol everyone was so happy with the ceremony.
Carol was an absolute dream to have at our wedding ceremony. So professional but made the experience so much fun! She was very responsive and has a beautiful heart. We’re so lucky she was there to share our special day with us
Carol was amazing through the whole process and tailored the ceremony exactly how we wanted it. Even with some last minute changes, she made it a great experience!
So happy that we found Carol. Her price was reasonable considering we got married during a pandemic. We needed only a short and sweet ceremony. She gave us a list of options to pick our ceremony so that it was special for us. She has a great sense of humor which is needed when you have small children and dogs lol. It was a beautiful ceremony with those that mattered the most. She made it perfect.
Carol did a wonderful job! She was professional, kind and responsive!
We searched for officiants and came across Carols profile. She seemed to be a perfect fit for our ceremony and we are SO happy with her services! She went above and beyond our expectations. She customizes everything to exactly what you want, is very responsive, quick and super friendly! She made our ceremony personal and perfect for us, even with some giggling! We had last minute changes due to Covid and she was able to accommodate our changes with no problem. She made us feel at ease and made our ceremony fun! We are very happy to have found her and highly recommend her services!
Making the decision to have a ceremony during a national pendemic caused us to face many unique challenges. Carol however made the process very smooth and was extremely flexible. She was easily available to bounce ideas off of, and it was obvious she was genuinely interested in getting to know my husband and I. I highly recommend her services!
Carol is absolutely fantastic. She is responsive and on-the-ball, and understands that every couple and ceremony is unique. She gives you everything so that you can customize your ceremony just the way you want it to be. Ours was a very casual and small backyard wedding, and she made it effortless. We highly recommend Carol, and are so grateful to her for performing our ceremony just right.
Carol was absolutely amazing and made my husband and I feel great. She was very professional but also made the moment so special. My husband and I kept crying and laughing and she did great making it just the at most amazing time! During covid! I would absolutely recommend her again!
Carol was the officiant at our wedding. She was a joy to work with from start to finish. She goes out of her way to make sure your wedding is the you want it. Would highly recommend her,
Warm and wonderful ceremony - exactly what we wanted.
Due to COVID we had to change our wedding plans only a month ahead of time, but Carol made our ceremony special and wonderful. She was always professional and prompt in responding to calls and emails. She had a lot of templates to choose from for outlines of ceremonies to make it our own. Our sand ceremony was all that I hoped it would be. I was missing my mom who recently passed away so I was very teary eyed and she was so understanding and helpful. Anyone would be very lucky to have her officiate their wedding.
Carol was absolutely wonderful! We had to cancel our wedding in South Lake Tahoe but Carol still performed an elopement ceremony for us in front of our parents on our original day. She always responded to messages fairly quickly and was very accommodating during this unusual situation. I highly recommend Carol if you are getting married in the Lake Tahoe area.
Carol was fun, friendly and professional. Made our special day perfect! Highly recommend Carol!
Carol was a dream come true! When I say there were ZERO issues, I mean there were ZERO issues. She was so genuine and made us feel like she really cared to get to know us. She helped us craft a perfect ceremony, was extremely responsive, professional, and just all around lovely!
Carol met with us in our home a few days before the ceremony. She was on time, professional, and friendly. Prices very reasonable. As an added bonus she filed our certificate early on January 2nd to make us the first married couple in our county for 2020. Now THAT'S service beyond expectations. Many Thanks👏❤
Carol was amazing! She made the whole ceremony process a breeze and we got tons of compliments on how great the ceremony was done! Highly recommend!
Carol was absolutely incredible! She helped us organize the ceremony order and even did a rehearsal with us the day before. We requested to do a hand fasting ceremony and she was fully prepared. She knew how to tie the rope and had a beautiful poem to read (we did this instead of vows). She kept our ceremony light and humorous and only 20ish mins. She was amazing to work with and will make your ceremony completely customized to you. 100% recommend!
Carol was a dream. She was quick to respond to questions, was super helpful and organized, and even learned a few phrases in Portuguese so that my in-laws would be able to understand a bit! Her sample scripts for the ceremony were so well written and she has a nice variety of styles. We didn't even need to worry about writing the ceremony, which was a big help. Her ideas were perfect for us, and I'm certain that if we wanted to customize, she would be accommodating. I am so glad we had Carol officiate, she made our big day so special.
Throughout the whole process of planning my wedding, she was ALWAYS quick to reply with any questions I had and meet with me whenever I needed to. We were able to connect personally since we are both geeks. She was very easy to talk to and she explained the whole process and made everything so easy. When it came time for the day, she was on top of everything. She met me at the venue, she helped calm me down when I started to panic because we were running late. During the actual ceremony, she kept it lighthearted and even made our guests laugh. She did such an AMAZING job. I so HIGHLY recommend her for your wedding or vow renewal.
We're so happy we found Carol to officiate our wedding! All of our guests had beautiful things to say about Carol and how sweet and refreshing the ceremony was. By the way she was able to tell our story, everyone thought she had known us for a long time. Carol was very helpful in guiding us through the ceremony planning and reminded us that there was no need to do things a certain way. The day of, Carol was terrific at checking in with us and making us feel calm. She's able to confidently hold the space, while also bringing in humor and lightness. In addition to holding a beautiful ceremony, she is very professional and prompt, which are qualities that were very important to us when looking for an officiant.
My elopement was last minute and Carol was very flexible. I was so grateful to have found her services and she helped out every second she could! Communication was fast and I never felt like she didn't care! She allowed me to be creative with my ceremony layout and gave me ideas on what I could do. Very helpful and respectful of what I wanted. Never felt judged and knew she was a great person to share in my special day! I hope to not get married again, but if I do then I would call her up again!
Carol was very very accommodating to my fiancé and I.
First off, carol took her time to meet with us far before the wedding to get a feel for what we were looking for and to go over the basics. We basically finished our ceremony then.
Months later I decided I wanted to change some of it and she was more than happy to do so! She kept saying “this is your wedding” which put me to ease not only with her services but others as well to let them know what I really wanted!!
Overall, great service! We enjoyed our ceremony!! Thanks so much carol!
HIGHLY recommend Carol! I would book her over and over! She's professional and personal. She has all the advice but will also is all about what the bride and groom want. Im very thankful I was able to book her last minute. She really set the tone to a perfect ceremony!
Carol was amazing. Very professional and will make your ceremony EXACTLY what you want it to be.
We had Carol officiate our wedding and we couldn’t be happier with our experience with her. She was great to work with as we prepared our personalized service and was very quick to communicate with us. We had a small service on the rocks of Lake Tahoe which required all of us to hike down to the water. We actually didn’t have a spot picked out beforehand, so we had to decide on the location just moments before the service. Carol was a true advocate for us, as she encouraged us to find the place that felt “just right” for our ceremony…even though this required a good deal more hiking. We are from Florida and had only spoken to Carol on the phone and communicated through email, but when we met her we both felt immediately comfortable. We are so grateful that she was part of our special day, and we couldn’t be more confident in recommending her to be a part of yours.
Carol made our ceremony exactly what we wanted it to be - we couldn’t be happier!! It was funny, sweet, fun, and most importantly short so our guests were able to get up and dance the night away. Thank you so much Carol you are amazing!! I would recommend to anyone and everyone.
Carol was great! From start to finish she took care of every detail and made sure we understood each step and felt at ease during our wedding weekend!
Thanks for everything!
Carol is amazing!!! She customized our entire ceremony to everything we wanted. We had several rough drafts sent over until everything was set in stone. She is the sweetest human who loves what she does. She made the process so simple. She walked us through the process of getting our marriage license and then filed all the paperwork for us so we could enjoy our honeymoon. She came to our rehearsal and put up with my crazy group. I cannot stress enough how perfect Carol is! Thank you!!!
Carol officiated our wedding on dec 1st in Virginia city, nv. She was great and so easy to work with, we wrote our entire ceremony and we sent to her and she just organized it and made it flow. Her payment system was also extremely easy to use. No fuss! She was a great speaker and got a few laughs from the guests. We also had a little mix up with rings, my husband was so nervous he tried to put his ring on me and she handled it great, very quietly whispered wrong ring a few times just quiet enough for us to hear. Very professional handling nervousness during the ceremony and clearly repeating herself as we both got nervous and mixed up words. Great officiant and very happy with her! Thank you Carol!
Carol kept the mood light for us on our wedding day which suited us! She made the process very easy for signing the marriage license so we could be on to party as quickly as possible!
She was so personable, easy to contact and quick to respond. We made the best choice!!
Carol was so great. She really worked with us and let us pick out so much of the ceremony, it felt really personal and definitely like she knew us. It was perfect.
Carol was a great officiant. She met with me beforehand to customize the ceremony. She was responsive to my questions and comments throughout the days leading up to the wedding. The ceremony was everything we had hoped for. She made us feel calm and relaxed as she coached us before the ceremony. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant.
Carol was great! We had a short amount of time to find a officiant and she responded right away even though she was out of state at the time! She had great options to choose from when it came to vows, prayers, closing wishes, and any add on elements like a candle lighting ceremony. Even though we met with her only the day before the wedding she did everything just the way we wanted it. She even had a wedding the same day as our but still made us feel special. She really knows how to customize a wedding to make it one of a kind and to fit the bride and groom!
Carol did an amazing job officiating our wedding! She had a perfect combination of serious and funny which is exactly how we are as a couple. People came up to me at the reception saying it was one of the best ceremonies they have ever seen! Thank you for walking us through this process and helping tailor a ceremony that truly spoke to who we are as a couple!
Carol was wonderful so nice helpful answered all my questions. She was very professional!!
Our original officiant had to drop out due to something serious popping up and Carol extremely accommodating. She was able to walk me through a general day and help us personalize it to our tastes. She was available for any questions and easy to reach. During the day she was very professional and everything went very smoothly.
Carol was great to work with and put me at ease on the day of the wedding! She was quick to respond to questions, her attire worked great with our wedding and she took charge of the reception with our loud bridal party! I would hire Carol again and again, she was a great touch to the wedding!
Carol was more than we expected to help make our day be as memorable as possible! She sent us templates and examples of vows, poems, the whole ceremony really, allowing us to pick and choose what we wanted our special moment to sound like. She was very punctual, and responsive to my emails even when I wasn’t! We felt comfortable with her helping us from the start. She really helped one part of our day easier for sure! Don’t think twice about hiring Carol, she is a ROCKSTAR officiant
Carol was excellent. She was prompt, personable and professional. We contacted her in a frantic because our first officiant stopped responding. She assured us that she was available and had a contract ready which put me at ease. She was personable when creating our ceremony and it was everything that we wanted. She wore a dress to match our colors. She was great. Reasonable price. I highly recommend her!!
Carol was amazing to have officiate our wedding. We were probably not the most responsive people to work with but without a rehearsal the ceremony went super smooth. Friendly, punctual and very helpful if you have no idea what a ceremony can consist of.
Thanks again Carol!!!
Carol was great. She was there to save the day with less than a week until the wedding. She was quick to help and prepare the ceremony. The guests enjoyed the ceremony!
Carol was wonderful, professional, and easy to work with. She helped us create the perfect vows by providing beautiful sample vows for us to choose from. I highly recommend her.
Carol is absolutely wonderful! My spouse and I wanted a cute and personalized wedding, but only had a small time between choosing a date and the date upon us, and she worked with us the whole time! Even with the slight procrastination on the part of my spouse and I, the ceremony was a complete success! Thank you so much Carol!!
We were just thrilled to have found Carol she design a special and personal ceremony afor our small wedding! She made our small outdoor ceremony so unique
We we so please that we chose Carol to officiate our marriage. From the planning stage to keeping me calm the day of our wedding, Carol was amazing. If we chose to renew our vows in the future we will definitely call Carol!
Carol was incredible and worked with us on multiple occasions to make sure our vows were exactly what we wanted yet acknowledged some of the wishes of our families. We were complimented by multiple guests that she did an absolutely incredible job and we have to agree! She was so supportive of us and made sure we breathed and I didn't break down crying. She was easy to work with and made sure nothing was too cheesy. Highly recommend her services!
We shared our ceremony with Carol and our closest friends and family recently, and I couldn't be happier with the experience we had. Carol guided us towards the ceremony that was right for my now husband and I, and it went perfectly! Professional, courteous, and loving, Carol felt like having another member of our family there with us.
Amazing officiant! Will go with every detail you have for your ceremony and also dresses to color scheme. Very easy going and made our ceremony fun and added some laughter to it.
Carol did a wonderful job officiating our wedding at Lake Mary Cabin.
She welcomed our modifications of the ceremony script to personalize it, and was able to deliver it smoothly. She made us all feel at ease and went with the flow, even when things were slightly off course (like when the rings fell off our dog's ring bearer pillow!) We are grateful for her services and for her contribution to a beautiful, memorable day!
Carol officiated our wedding in June Lake, CA - not only was she a great public speaker, she was also very helpful in guiding us through crafting a ceremony. We were not looking for a religious event, so we didn’t have a starting template for the ceremony, which initially made our search for an officiant a bit intimidating. However, as soon as we found Carol, everything became much easier. She provided us with a detailed ceremony script to start from and worked with us to make it a ceremony that reflected our relationship. We had several phone conversations with her so she could learn a bit more about us and we could talk through our vision for the ceremony. She was friendly and non-judgmental as we changed the script and took our many updates and changes (even the last-minute ones!) in stride.
In addition to her help in crafting the personal, short, and meaningful ceremony we were looking for, she was a great help just prior to the event itself. She made sure we got the paperwork we needed in advance and held it for us throughout the event so it didn’t get lost. (I had completely forgotten about getting a marriage application, but she called us a few days before the event to remind us. Good thing, too!) Since our rehearsal was the day before the wedding, she drove up a day early so she could help us practice the ceremony. Her professional, collected demeanor was a source of calm at the rehearsal- she used her experience from other weddings to make recommendations that ultimately made the whole event go more smoothly. She even took the initiative to write up the modifications we made to the ceremony at the rehearsal and print off a revised version to use the day of.
On our actual wedding day, she was organized and prepared, and everything went perfectly. Our band was not in town for the rehearsal, so Carol took notes and coordinated with them when they arrived. During the ceremony she was able to time everything just right to avoid awkward silences while we were performing the ceremony. She held printouts of our vows for us so we didn’t have to worry about having them on hand during the ceremony. Her voice projected very well even without a PA system and she was able to convey a dignified, joyous tone for the ceremony. Carol was instrumental in making our ceremony exactly what we were looking for and we would highly recommend her to other couples.
