Helpful, efficient, and little touches that made all the difference

Irene was exactly what we wanted in a wedding officiant! Leading up to and on the day, tasks pile up and details can be stressful to keep track of. Irene met with us briefly ahead of time to get the details down for what we wanted our ceremony to look like, and gave us easy directions for what was needed and when. On the day, she was so helpful in directing the wedding party (including four little children) on how to make it down to the aisle, when music should be played, and even instructing guests on how to take part in a Polish wedding custom. We especially loved that she created little certificates of appreciation for our nephews and niece who took part in the ceremony as ring bearers and flower boy and girl. If you hire Irene, she will make your wedding day less stressful while making sure it is exactly what you want!

We highly recommend Irene she is amazing!!

We highly recommend Irene to be your marriage officiate for your special day. She is professional, reliable and courteous. Irene has a very nice personality and will put a smile on your face. She married my husband and I on August 12,2022. She also married our son 2yrs ago. Irene even made little certificates for our grandchildren who were our ring bearer and flower girl. That was so special for Irene to do for them. Irene does a phenomenal job!! I wouldn't look no further for your wedding needs. Choose Irene because she will make your wedding ceremony the best she can!! Thank-you Irene for making our wedding day so special.

Wonderful!

Irene was absolutely amazing and our ceremony was perfect! She helped us out beforehand making sure we knew what to do and was extremely organized and on the ball which made everything run smoothly. Her ceremony was so beautiful and we could not have asked for a better officiant to marry us and be a part of our special day! Thank you so much Irene!

Great experience!

Irene is a seasoned professional. She officiated my sister-in-laws wedding in 2019 and did such a wonderful job we hired her as well. She makes the whole process so easy and seamless. She was quick to hire, easy to communicate with up until the wedding and made our ceremony perfect.
We appreciate her professionalism and expertise regarding the most important part of the whole wedding! Thank you Irene!!

Wonderful, intimate, masked wedding at home

Irene was a wonderful officiant, flexible for our needs as Covid changed our plans and our number of guests. She came out to our home in the country and provided us with a certificate of marriage and a booklet of the ceremony as well. A lovely experience overall, and we're so grateful!
