Zaro's Photo Booth

flowing ceremony!! Thank you so much Lisa!!

ling skype meetings and phone calls in order to get to know us a little bit, and to talk about plans for our ceremony. She almost always responded to emails within 2 days, only once or twice did I need to send a follow up email to make sure she had received the one prior to it. She incorporated everything we asked for in our ceremony (which was a lot) and she had suggestions/answers whenever we had questions. Everything in our ceremony flowed beautifully and felt very personal, despite only having met us via skype and email! She also made sure to give us the proper info on when and how to apply for a marriage license, and took care of sending the form out once everything was signed. Both my husband and I were extremely happy with our ceremony, and look forward to watching the video recording of it in the future!

ur ceremony so special and personal. It was definitely US! It was an absolute pleasure to work with her. We received so many compliments from guests how great the ceremony was and how funny and NOT boring it was!! We definitely recommend her!!

so comfortable with everything. The e-mails that we received on a constant basis helped guide us as to what to do next and make sure we didn't miss any important steps (like getting a marriage license, how to change the last name, etc). Rev Zaro made our ceremony exactly what we wanted it to be. Simple, 20 min, have a few light/funny moments, and incorporate a few aspects of the traditional catholic marriage. They also really get to know you as a couple to make the ceremony personalized like they have known you for a while. We got a lot of compliments on the ceremony and how it all flowed. I would 100% recommend Rev Zaro!!

hout losing the importance of the moment and she had no problem writing a ceremony that was non-religious. Through the entire process she was organized with reminders and guides for us to make sure we had everything we needed for the ceremony, like the wedding license. At both the rehearsal and the ceremony she was a calming presence and made sure that everyone knew exactly where they needed to be. We received a lot of compliments on how personal and "us" Lisa made the ceremony and we are overwhelmingly grateful for what a delight she was to work with.

have ever imaged. Lisa's ceremonies are truly "personalized." Long before our wedding day, she took the time to get to know us as a couple, our story, and what marriage meant to us. Talking to her is like talking to a friend, but at the same time, she is also extremely professional about her work. She wrote and executed what was by far the best wedding ceremony I had ever attended, and I know I'm not biased because many of our 200 guests agreed! Working with Lisa was nothing but a pleasure, and if my husband and I ever renew our vows, we will be asking her to do the honor, no doubt about it :)

completely open to allowing us to edit any parts we wanted. There was nothing cookie cutter about the ceremony. She knew exactly what to do, when we should speak and where to stand (especially helpful when nerves set in). I would highly recommend Lisa to any couple, as she was an absolute pleasure to work with at every step and kept in close communication about the program!

personalized it to explain our story and included a tree watering ceremony to plant it in our home. Everyone loved the ceremony and raved on how different and sweet it was.

thanks to Lisa. She took the time to sit down with us before the ceremony to talk through what we were looking for, her recommendations, and to answer any questions that we had. This made us much more comfortable with the process and I think ultimately led to every detail of our ceremony aligning perfectly with what we were hoping for. We highly recommend working with her!!!

before the big day helped us feel at ease at the alter! She was just perfect! We totally recommended her for your big day!

er to anyone who is planning their wedding!

found Lisa! From the moment that we spoke to her on the phone, we knew that she was definitely the perfect fit for us. She was so real, down to earth and was open to making our ceremony exactly how we wanted it to be. We locked her in very early (about 1 ½ years before our wedding date), but even so she always kept in contact and checked in to see if we needed anything along the way and sent over some ideas for the ceremony and different options for readings. She put together such a unique and personalized ceremony for us that was truly unforgettable and totally US! It was just the right mixture of sentiment and laughter. Thank you Lisa for helping to make our day so amazing!

ceremony and how it was "the best ceremony I've ever been to."

ves together. The question remained on how to go about this. With the help of Rev. Lisa Zaro and her incredible insight she put together the perfect ceremony which reflected our lives together. At our annual summer party we surprised over 50 guests as Rev Lisa married us in our own backyard. Her thoughtful words partnered with our own story left our jaw dropped attendees amazed. It was light, it was fun, it was our day one we will never forget.Whether it's a bar-b-que in your yard, a ceremony on the beach or in the venue you have chosen for your reception Rev. Lisa will make your ceremony as special that day as you are feeling, she truly delivers.

e blessing. The way she crafted all of the elements together was totally seamless. We didn't even have a rehearsal! Her words were thoughtful, without being overbearing. Funny, without losing atmosphere. Personal, though we'd never met in person. Our families laughed & cried (happy tears!) together. We could not have wished for a more considerate ceremony. FIVE STARS IS NOT ENOUGH!!! Thank you so much, Rev Lisa.

r ceremony, prior to the wedding, it was perfect. She really captured who we are as a couple. We had numerous people at our wedding tell us that it was the best wedding ceremony they have ever heard. They even thanked us for making it so personal because people that really didn’t know “us” as a couple got to know us through our ceremony. Thank you so much again Rev Zaro for helping make our special day even more perfect then we could have imagined.

l completely professional and didn't miss a beat. I knew we made a great choice from when we first met at a Starbucks a few weeks before the wedding just to go over the details. I actually became friends with her on Facebook and she is definitely a genuinely good person overall. I am so glad to have met her and to have her officiate our wedding. Once again, highly highly recommended.

uch for everything. Everything was simply perfect. All of your family and friends were raving about you through the night and how wonderful you did. Chris and I and our families are honored to have had you be the leader for the biggest night of our lives. Thank you for that!

or years. She is also very personable and extremely professional. She always got back to me instantly by text and email, and was always only a phone call away. Rev Lisa was able to calm all anxiety we had about our big day. I received a copy of the ceremony ahead of time and she was always willing to make whatever changes, I wanted. Although, I must say her first draft was almost perfect. She is truly delightful and obviously loves what she does. Now stop reading reviews, and give Rev. Lisa a call. You will not regret it.

ceremony. She was well spoken, clear and well paced. Our guests told us how much they enjoyed the ceremony and how beautiful it was. Many inquired about how we came to have Rev. Lisa for our officiant! We couldn't be happier with our experience and felt well supported by Rev. Lisa.

onalized Ceremonies it was the highlight of our event! Our ceremony was short, but completely personalized. Reverend Zaro got to know us and took our suggestions and selected readings and turned it into the perfect ceremony for us! My husband and I were both laughing and teary-eyed and everybody said it was the most memorable ceremony they had ever been to (we used a subtle Pastafarian theme). Thank you for making our ceremony so incredibly special!

e sure that we were getting exactly what we wanted out of it in terms of tone and length. On the day, Lisa was calm, gave us great advice, and delivered a warm, happy and heartfelt ceremony.

pleased with the ceremony, it was PERFECT. Our guests are still talking about it and saying how it was the best ceremony they have ever been to. I couldn’t be more pleased with the service I received from Lisa Zaro. Brides if you’re looking for a personal, captivating ceremony that will leave your guests with a lasting impression this is your Officiant!! I can not stress enough what a dream it was to work with such a professional, punctual, and organized vendor on my wedding day. I would HIGHLY recommend contacting Lisa for your wedding day ASAP!! You will NOT be disappointed.

years, she made everyone feel a part of the ceremony and kept everyone's attention for the entire ceremony with her words. She set a ceremony tone like no other. People were laughing, crying, gazing and just enjoying every single moment, as were myself and my husband. So often times a wedding ceremony is very standard, very cliché and tend to go unnoticed. Ours was the total opposite. People were ranting and raving about the love and romance our ceremony presented the entire night. Lisa was a joy to work with and made our day even more special than we dreamed it ever could be. We will remember it always.

She told us from the start, we would get out of our personalized ceremony what we gave her, so we decided we were an open book. Throughout the process, Lisa was very understanding to my OCD tendencies and my desire to get things done early so I'd feel less stressed. She accommodated me by sending things to me early so I'd feel more comfortable. With all of the other weddings she had going on, she still made me feel like I was so important. It was a very nice feeling to know she was there for me. Our story was beautifully reflected in the ceremony Lisa put together. All night our guests were commenting on the story saying "you get to know the couple, but you never really hear their story." That meant a lot to me because I wanted people to feel the love that my husband and I feel for each other. That message was definitely conveyed. Also, everyone is so accustomed to the traditional wedding and vows, ours was definitely a completely different spin. It seemed to be appreciated by our guests, and it made me happy to know that they saw all of the effort that went into it, not just by us, but by Lisa. She truly made our ceremony one-of-a-kind and completely memorable for me.

she made us both feel right at home and very comfortable in her presence. I loved how she even provided me with information on how to change my name, and even when to be expecting our marriage certificate.

emony was; they said it was like no other wedding they had ever witnessed, full of love, energy and so genuine. Even my catholic grandmother who wanted us to get married in a church said it couldn't have been more beautiful outdoors and customized. Lisa is so incredibly inspirational, positive, funny, sweet and caring. She is not only an exceptional officiant, but a great friend and colleague and we were so grateful to have her not only do our ceremony, but to also do a special blessing before eating at the reception. It meant so much to have her there and we can not say enough wonderful things about her.

person, who makes you feel welcome and special. Lisa met with us a couple of times prior to our ceremony, in addition to answering questions by phone and email. She is very accessible. Lisa ensured that she got to know us in order to develop our perfect wedding ceremony. She helped us choose readings and decide on the order and "flow" of our wedding. Lisa provided a draft prior to our wedding so that we could work to make changes together. But honestly, it was Perfect! Lisa is someone whom will remain in our hearts as our marriage grows! Thank you Lisa!

b! She was amazing! We felt so comfortable with her! Such a nice, caring and personable women! Thank you so much for officiating our wedding day and for personalizing it the way we wanted!

and that she absolutely nailed who we were as a couple and individuals. They couldn't believe that we hadn't known Lisa our whole lives!

k with!

every step of the way to help and answer any questions we had.

eremony done. If I had to do it all over again I would right back to her. Thank you.

nsive and as we talked to her we got so much more comfortable with her. She was very helpful with her emails and wise words. The survey got us to talk about our relationship and remind ourselves why we were doing all of this. The day of the event was amazing. She was so professional and hilarious. She took everything we said and weaved it in in a touching, funny way. Everyone loved her. They kept coming up to us saying how wonderful they thought the ceremony was. She went above and beyond for us. My husband forgot the marriage license at the hotel and she went back for us! It was amazing! Something that could have ruined our event - she saved. We couldn't thank her enough for all of it! I would absolutely recommend her to a friend.

m and caring and also really funny! We highly recommend her!

e process. She made us feel really comfortable. She was able to provide great feedback and suggestions for readings. She was also really accommodating when setting meetings, which was a huge plus. We ended up with a ceremony that really felt like us, and received lots of compliments from our guests.

emony even more "us" and we truly appreciated all of her help. We got the package that included meeting before the ceremony to discuss everything, and I'm glad. I was happy to meet Lisa ahead of time and get a sense for how things would go. She was always responsive to questions via email. The ceremony ended up being perfect--I am so glad that we ended up getting a videographer because I can't wait to see the ceremony again!

ding and it was one of the best decisions we made during the planning process! We were looking for a more personal ceremony that incorporated color from our relationship, our feelings for each other, and a bit of religion as well (and didn't feel prepared to draft the entire thing from scratch). Rev. Zaro took time to get to know us and our story and crafted a truly beautiful and extremely personal ceremony based on what aspects were most important to us. After our ceremony, our friends and family could not stop raving about what a special and intimate service it was and we truly couldn't have been happier. Working with Lisa was enjoyable and very easy for a busy wedding planning couple. She reviewed the ceremony with us, provided sample readings, and even advised on the required steps for obtaining a marriage license. You can tell Lisa loves her job and is excellent at it! If you are looking for an officiant for your wedding and need help with planning your ceremony, look no further. Lisa was one in a million and we couldn't have been happier with the outcome.

emony perfect from start to finish. Highly recommend!

as; like our family vows to our children (everyone cried). Lisa really made our day extra special. She exceeded our expectations!!

we loved the fact that she sent us the ceremony she would preform in email form a few days before our wedding for us to review. This was great to get to see to ensure every detail we wanted was incorporated. Overall, Lisa is super friendly and does a great job at officiating! We got exactly what we asked her for and it was loved by all!

the ceremony reading was, that's all because of lisa. There isn't one thing I would change, she did outstanding. I recommend her to anyone and everyone. She is professional but down to earth. I felt so comfortable with her.

at! She was very easy to talk to, sent many ideas to help us in the planning stage and made everything work out with ease. I would def recommend Lisa to anyone wanting a personalized ceremony!!

r choice. Lisa sent us an extensive questionnaire asking for information about us to incorporate into the ceremony, and then we met in person to discuss what we'd written and fill out the details. Lisa turned our story into a funny, touching, beautiful ceremony that we and our guests loved. She was also extremely accommodating of some changes I wanted to make to the ceremony--she really works to make it just what you want. Any of the guests I talked to said they'd never been to such a fun ceremony.

ndividuals. She is a great listener and wrote a ceremony that had a perfect balance of serious sentiment and humor- as we wanted. Many guests remarked how they enjoyed the ceremony or how it was the best ceremony that they had attended. I have to add, that is quite a feat considering the 100 degree temperatures that day! Rev. Lisa Zaro is a beautiful person and an outstanding professional. Highly recommended!

ional, funny, real. We clicked immediately. She is as great listener. With that said, she wrote the most beautiful cermony for us. She captured our spirit.

e to me after the ceremony and said they feel like they know the two of us so much better now just based on listening to her words. She was able to truly capture our romantic nature and everything we could ask for. She was on time, friendly, so sweet and amazing to work with. I would reccomend her to anyone looking for a truly unique ceremony experience.

up to us afterwards to tell us that it was the most personal and moving ceremony they've seen. She really was able to capture our personalities. She even recommended other vendors such as florist, hair, and makeup people in the Hudson Valley area. I would highly recommend Lisa for your ceremony.

s an instant connection. She is friendly, warm, professional and gave great advice on how to get started in planning our ceremony. Rev. Zaro was always available via phone, email and we also met her in person to discuss the final planning stages of our wedding. We had fun answering her questionnaire and relived our journey on how we met and it also helped Rev. Zaro get to know us better and assisted in really personalizing our ceremony. Rev. Zaro helped us put together a beautiful ceremony that told our family & friends of our journey in a fun and beautiful way. There wasn't a dry eye in the house. We cried, we laughed and rejoiced! I've been to so many weddings and I know if you are looking for your dream wedding, call Rev. Lisa because she is your dream officiant!

rrow windows of availability due to our our work schedules. Our package would have also included an in-person planning session if our schedules had allowed. Rev. Zaro is very well organized and made sure we were on top of things through a comfortable planning schedule (including obtaining our marriage license). She was also a great help giving us ideas for our ceremony and tailoring our ceremony to our preferences. We filled out a questionnaire to help her prepare her ceremony remarks and based on our answers she even found us a reading from the Princess Bride that we loved and integrated into the ceremony. At the ceremony she was professional without being stiff, which is exactly what we were looking for, and she kept everyone engaged with well-timed and appropriate humor. We would recommend Rev. Zaro unequivocally and enthusiastically as a wedding officiant.

ive process of getting our marriage license. Together we created a ceremony that combined personal vows, traditional vows and text she drafted. She was flexible and open-minded when it came to creating what we had in mind. She is professional and warm -- everything we wanted in an officiant. Even though we met her for the first time on our wedding day, it felt like having family with us!

us create was exactly what we were looking for. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant!

with us on what we wanted for our ceremony and we found that in Lisa. We loved that she took our personal stories and wove it into our ceremony - Lisa also officiated with a cantor for our wedding, which was so helpful for us because we had so much trouble finding someone who would co-officiate. She was super professional and on top of her game and went above and beyond for us. We highly recommend!

t was really re-assuring getting to sit with her in advance of the wedding and get to know her. She is extremely friendly, personable and down to earth. She gets people, and we being an unconventional, rock and roll type of couple, had no worries when it came time to discuss our beliefs and our own spiritual take on what we wanted to include and what we didn't want to include in our ceremony. Lisa provided us with many options and even suggested the best idea, a time capsule we nailed shut during the ceremony with notes and our vows to be opened in 10 years. From beginning to end, it was perfect. The readings, the vows, and the inclusion of our story as she learned from our initial meeting. Our guests all commented how beautiful, personal, and reflective of us our ceremony was. I would highly recommend choosing Rev. Zaro for your wedding if you want a stress free, personalized ceremony you'll never forget.

d even gave us the idea to do a wedding time capsule at our ceremony. I am still hearing how much people loved our ceremony and how well it flowed. I would definitely recommend Lisa to friends!!

many compliments on our ceremony and there were many laughs & tears! Just perfect!

do, and what we like about each other. All of these elements were used in a seamless fashion in her ceremony. My groom and I were engaged for a short time, 4 months, and we only reserved Reverend Lisa a month before the wedding. This was not a problem for her. She tackled everything that was needed in the short amount of time we gave her. She is an amazing woman with a can-do attitude! We have received numerous compliments on Reverend Lisa and her unique ceremony. I can’t wait for the video to arrive so we can relive it!

poor Lisa was still eating her dinner!! She insisted we sat with her, and we talked over coffee and cheesecake. Immediately we felt comfortable with her, she is such a warm and sweet woman we knew right away she would be perfect for us. We expressed how nervous the two of us were about vows and the actual ceremony itself (me being a cry baby and my husband having stage freight!) She didn't make us feel like we had to do anything we didn't want to do and in fact recommended a simple ceremony with minor talking on our parts!! She came up with a beautiful ceremony that was both personal and classic. We also added a sand ceremony and everything went off without a hitch! We simply cannot reccomend Lisa Zaro enough!!

d our ceremony because it was so different and personal. She described our relationship from the day we met to the day we stood before one another exchanging our vows. She added some humor which we loved, because that is us and we love to have fun. We were very pleased with our ceremony and working with Lisa altogether. Thanks so much Lisa!!!

n as possible and she was able to work around our schedule. Within the next few days, we worked out the necessary contract and she even gave us the chance to review and customize the script. During the day of the wedding, Rev. Lisa Zaro arrived earlier than our guests :-) which gave her the time to prepare and fill out the necessary paperwork. She is really nice and easy to work with. We would recommend her service for anyone looking for the perfect wedding officiant! Thank you, Rev. Lisa Zaro :-) -Mr. & Mrs. Matthew Tan
