About

Everyone loves my ceremonies because they are unique and heartfelt. And what makes my customized ceremonies special is that I create a love story about the two of them. The couple can add a tradition and a reading and I have samples to help them. I love to help couples exress their love! I love the couples I get to work with! This is one of the happiest time in their lives and even though they have a lot going on with their wedding planning, I get to be with them on their Special Day, a day they will always remember.

There are a LOT of people to choose from to preform your ceremony. It is a big decision. This person can make or break your special day. My husband and I searched long and hard. We found people who were very personable and some that weren't. Some that would dress up as a character or do anything to make that extra buck. Then we found Arlene. Sincere, caring, and all about OUR day. No gimmicks, no false promises, just quality care. I was staying in the UK until a few days before our ceremony so everything was done over the computer. Arlene kept in contact but she was never in the way. Our ceremony was just my husband and I. A couple weeks before our flight, I realized that I had no one to help me get into my dress since my husband and I wanted to keep tradition and not see each other until the ceremony. Arlene stepped up and offered to come early to help me. Seriously?! Who does that?! I was so grateful and relieved that our day would be just the way we wanted it. We still wanted a special ceremony even though it was just the two of us.. and you know what? IT WAS! It was PERFECT! Arlene was incredible and made our ceremony so very special... her words were personal and beautiful. The words she chose, we like she had known us and our habits forever. We smiled, we giggled, we shook our heads as she spoke.. every word SO VERY true. Her patience with us and our photographer to get everything JUST right, was unsurpassed. I can not give this woman enough praise. If I had enough money to fly this woman to Wales, she would be at my blessing ceremony this summer! Sincerity like this is rare these days. If you care about your special day actually being something you will remember forever, then hire Arelene! Because of her, I can look back on my wedding day and know it was as PERFECT as it possibly could have been!

We got married on May 9th, 2014. Coming from out of state, it was a little nerve wrecking being supplied an officiant we would never meet until the day of. But Rev. Arlene contacted us throughout the process and was so detailed oriented. It was completely designed based on our preferences. It was such a beautiful ceremony, I wish we could do it again! Everyone there complimented Rev. Arlene. She was the best! We are so glad she was able to marry us. We'll remember her forever!

Rev. Arlene Goldman was absolutely amazing at my wedding. Her work was beautiful. The vows mirrored exactly how my husband and I felt about each other and marriage to the T. I even received great compliments on her work from several of my guests as well!

FAQs

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I'm proud of all my ceremonies! And I'm especially happy when I know that the ceremony has touched everyone's hearts and that everyone connected to the love that was present. When I see smiling faces and guests (and couples) wiping their tears, then I know that they were moved.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Hire a professional who is experienced, who makes you feel comfortable, who is calm and can handle last minute issues that can come up, and who can guide you during the planning process and the ceremony itself.
What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
I'm old school because I treat people the way I want to be treated. Because of that, I work hard to please my couples. With that I've become patient which is very important. Another essential quality working with others is a sense of humor. And being flexible is also necessary.
