If I could give more than five stars, I would! Celeste was absolutely incredible. From the moment we connected, she was patient, flexible, and so understanding. On my wedding day, I was more out of sorts than I ever expected, and she met every moment with grace and calm. She was reliable, communicative, and carried such a peaceful presence that helped everything flow beautifully. She executed our vows with so much care and precision, it truly felt like she understood the heart of our ceremony. Her professionalism and warmth made all the difference, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. If you’re in the Atlanta or Georgia area and need an officiant, trust me, call Celeste. She’s available by phone and email, and she is just so, so, so great. You will not regret it!

Celeste was incredible to work with and truly an essential part of the wedding planning process. She is knowledgeable, organized, and proactive. Celeste taught me a ton about wedding planning and helped me think through all the detailed decisions to keep me on track. I was planning my wedding in Atlanta from the west coast, and while we were out of town during most of the process, Celeste was extremely helpful by visiting the venue site, taking pictures for us, and meeting with our vendors. Even as the size of our event continued to evolve as the COVID-19 pandemic affected our original wedding, she was flexible, accommodating, and understanding. Overall, Celeste is a pleasure to work with and I have no doubt that she will make your wedding a more joyful, stress-free, and well-planned day.
