5-STAR REVIEWS
Joan was a dream wedding officiant!! From the moment we had our first call to handing our completed marriage license, Joan did not disappoint. She is truly a joy to work with, and she cares about each one of her couples and their love story.
At the end of the wedding weekend, we had heard so many praises about our ceremony being meaningful and something people hadn’t seen in a while, but we couldn’t have had that without Joan! She is truly great at what she does.
Our wedding day was truly magical thanks to Joan & Heartfelt Custom Ceremonies. From the very beginning, Joan made us feel comfortable and cared for, taking the time to understand our unique love story and our vision for the ceremony.
She guided us through every step of the process, ensuring that everything ran smoothly on the big day. Her presence was calming and reassuring, helping us manage our nerves and truly be present during our ceremony.
Simply perfect! We knew we were in good hands from the moment we met Joan, but what she crafted for Joe and me was truly exceptional. She beautifully wove the story of our excitement for the adventures ahead. Her words filled the air with hope, love, and the promise of a bright future. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect ceremony, and we are eternally grateful for her remarkable skills and heartfelt dedication to making our wedding day one we will never forget. Joan, thank you for making our dreams come true!
