Ready, or not,
the moment rushes toward you.
What would happen if you paused? What might open, out of the flurry of preparations and plans, of necessary and wondrous details, if you were to meet your love, quietly?
Breathe together.
Could you give yourself time before you show up, on the threshold of your greatest adventure yet, willing to remember what brought you here, what best self your beloved sees, what promise is yours to give that will keep you travelling forward together? Are you ready to create a vow that will be a living gift for your marriage?
This is ceremony.
This is your time, and you have it in you to make it magic.

We're still basking in the glow of our wedding day, reliving all of the moments from the day. Your poetic nature and warm touch made our day a truly magical experience. We will carry your words with us, and look back on this day with joy and appreciation for the rest of our lives. We can't thank you enough for the care, thoughtfulness, and generosity you have shown us

The questions you asked us to help us reflect on our relationship and marriage helped us to grow as a couple. If one of us ever does something a little less nice, we often joke that we will “tell Barbara” about what the other person had doneWe feel as though you helped us to enter marriage as a stronger, closer, more communicative couple than we were before.

Barbara made our day perfect. Barbara listened to us and put all of those crazy ideas together making the perfect ceremony to celebrate our love and union. She listened without judging, listened to learn about us and about what this means for us, and respected and transmitted every idea in a beautiful way, it was pure poetry and love! Having her with us, ended up being a very important part of our wedding. A few minutes before the ceremony started, it just took me 3 seconds of looking into Barbara's eyes to get back to center, relax and be ready. So much peace in her!
