  Such a special ceremony

  Working with Barbara was such a pleasure and a comfort for us during the wedding planning process. As a couple who doesn’t get many opportunities/time to sit down and reflect on where we started, how far we’ve come as a couple and as individuals, how our love has grown, and where we are today, it felt like an incredible gift to receive that moment. And it wasn’t just on the wedding day, but all the coordination and meetings leading up, to make sure our ceremony reflected exactly what we were looking for. It meant SO much to us. On the wedding day, Barbara was such a calming presence. We were both nervous to be up on display in front of everyone (even if it was our nearest and dearest haha), but having the familiarity of her voice, the ceremony we had gone over, it really helped settle our nerves and get into the moment. She also did an amazing job at keeping the ceremony going at a good pace, and not going too fast (something I am prone to do under stress haha). This also really helped us be in the moment, and as a result the ceremony is actually the aspect of the whole day I remember most vividly! Other aspects were truly such a blur. I am so grateful for this! Barbara is truly gifted at what she does, warm and welcoming to work with, a comfort to have around, and intuitive. Our guests also had great feedback, they loved her pre-amble right before the ceremony so everyone got a bit of background/insight into the fact that we worked together in this ceremony (not cookie cutter), they loved how she addressed them, the inclusion of the crowd at moments in the ceremony, etc. Lastly to note that there were some elements of the ceremony we discussed and then my husband and I changed our minds or wanted to completely scrap something and Barbara was super open and receptive, even when we flip flopped on certain things! Zero regrets booking Barbara and if you are looking for a collaborative experience with someone who truly cares about telling your story authentically and including all the little details you hoped for, this is the officiant for you! Thank you for everything Barbara!

  Beautiful, Fun and Personal Ceremony!

  Barbara was absolutely wonderful to work with and our ceremony was more beautiful than we could have imagined. She was so easy to work with, helping us to design our ceremony so that it was personal and meaningful to us and our family. She was very responsive and really took the time to get to know us and our relationship, coming up with a ceremony that was so special to us. Her ideas were brilliant and it was a relief knowing we could trust her with the most important part of our wedding planning.
  
  Barbara did an amazing job officiating the ceremony. She made it fun and relaxed and there was so much emotion - so many happy tears! My husband and I had a very small ceremony (only 13 people including us) and it was exactly what we were looking for - relaxed, personal, fun and full of heart and love! We would recommend Barbara to anyone who is looking for a unique and personal ceremony that truly celebrates your love!

  Simply the best.

  Barbara officiated our wedding at the vow cabin. The ceremony was everything I always dreamed of. Funny and heartwarming. Barbara is truly brilliant and so so good at what she does. The ceremony was so personal and unique to us. I felt so relaxed during the ceremony and I really appreciate that she reminded us to be present and really take in the moment. I really appreciate the care that Barbara put into writing our ceremony. Truly the best.

  Magical evening that exceeded every expectation

  Barbara was incredible. From day one she put us at ease. She was able to take all our ideas and turn it into a magical, whimsical and unforgettable night. It was literally perfect. If you’re looking for a LGBT officiant, you can stop looking and trust her. She’s amazing✨

  Barbara is Extraordinary!

  There aren’t enough words to say how appreciative my husband (still so exciting to say!!) and I are for Barbara. Right from the moment we started working with her she was thorough, relaxed and made us feel so comfortable. She guides her couples, provides them with helpful tips and tools and made us feel incredibly supported. On the day of, she delivered a ceremony that felt like us. We are forever thankful for her and would recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant - especially for those who are less traditional and choose an adventurous elopement like we did! Thank you, thank you and thank you again Barbara!

  The most perfect ceremony!

  Barbara put together the most beautiful ceremony! Our friends and family were included, and some even read a line from a very special poem. It was individualized, and perfect for us! Our guests really appreciated the moment to breath and ground themselves. And we will forever remember that moment! Thank you Barbara ❤️❤️

  A Wonderful Wedding Experience with Barbara Densmore!!

  Having Barbara as our Wedding Officiant was absolutely incredible. She made us feel so comfortable with the process leading up to our special day, she made it easy and very straightforward. This reduced much stress for us as most couples feel leading up to their wedding with getting all the details in order.
  
  On our Wedding Day, the experience was magnificent. Barbara truly made our wedding day an amazing experience. Highly recommended - she'll make your wedding day incredible too.

  Holy Dina she's The One

  We knew Barbra was The One when we had our zoom meeting with her. Her energy is infectious, her laugh is contagious and her spirit is genuine. She gave us our fair share of homework and it really makes you think about your partner and relationship in a new light. The way she puts the ceremony together and made our guests feel like they were a part of our story from the start, filling in where we started, how we grew, and how we got to the point of marriage was so so special. Every single one of our guests had such good things to say about our ceremony and how interactive and funny she was. She is hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

  A customized ceremony always in our hearts!

  Barbara was the celebrant at our wedding and she was absolutely wonderful! She worked closely with us ahead of time to create a ceremony that was specific and relevant to us - one that reflected who we are individually, as a couple, and in our lives together. The result was a ceremony that felt natural, comfortable, welcoming to our guests and family, and full of love and laughs. Her skilled ability to combine logistics know-how with holding the energy of the space had us relaxed and well taken care of. We were in the best hands with her. We laughed, we cried, laughed some more, and left with hearts full! Thank you Barbara!!
