My fiance, Charlie, and I wanted to have a small wedding with just immediate family and close friends (14 guests). Once we decided to have a small wedding, we started looking for an officiant, and were so happy to find Celia so quickly. Upon my first call with Celia, she gave me so much advice and support regarding our wedding plans, and really helped us take the next steps with what we had in mind. She actually gave us the suggestion to have our wedding at Ninety Acres (Natirar) in Peapack Gladstone, NJ, which was the PERFECT venue for us and our plans. Throughout the wedding planning process, Celia kept in touch through convenient FaceTime calls and via email. She drafted out our ceremony based on the calls and emails we had together, and she let us review it and send back edits, which I highly appreciated. On the day of our wedding, she was right on time, greeting both my fiance and I (separately) as soon as we both arrived. She spoke eloquently and warmly during the ceremony. She had a presence, but it wasn’t overbearing by any means. It was a great balance to mark the seriousness of the occasion but the joyfulness of it as well. She did a fantastic job, and I’d recommend her to anyone. Plus, the extra advice and support she gave us throughout the wedding process was invaluable. (Celia – I wish you the best and all your future endeavors! Thank you for making our day a dream come true!!)
