Dear Lois,
Including our children made our wedding ceremony exceed all expectations.
Thank you for helping us express what this day meant to all of us.
On behalf of the entire family, a heart felt thanks.
Best wishes,

Dear Ms. Heckman,
Thank you for officiating at our daughter's wedding. We were very pleased with the way in which you conducted the ceremony. Your efficiency and professionalism were also appreciated.
Sincerely,
Don & Cindy (Parents of the Bride)
Dear Lois,
Thank you so much for officiating at our wedding. Your words helped make our day very memorable and meaningful. We are especially grateful for the way your honored our children and brought the family together. It was more than a wedding, it was a celebration of family.
Thank you for making our dream come true. You're the best!
Love,
Debra & Jim
Dear Lois,
Todd & I can't thank you enough for the ceremony you wrote for us. It was perfect! Exactly what we wished for. Every single person told us how beautiful it was and how wonderful you were!
Dear Lois,
On behalf of Sean and Dawn, thank you for officiating such a beautiful wedding ceremony. As father of the bride I really didn't know what to expect with a 'celebrant' - but boy was I impressed. You certainly did the family proud.
Best regards
Tom (Father of the Bride)
Hi Lois,
We wanted to write you to say thank you for the great job that you did on the ceremony. It was perfect.
We really appreciate all of the work that you put into it. And we also appreciate how easy it was to work with you in preparing it. We can't imagine who else could have combined our diverse traditions and background the way you did. It was so meaningful, and also made quite an impression on our guests.
Take care,
Sue & Bhuvnesh
Lois -
Words cannot express how wonderful you were. Not a single person at the wedding wasn't glowing about the ceremony - how unusual it was, how different, and how celebrating of us! It was a refreshing change of pace. Of course we had a few glitches (weather and the dogs!!!) but you rolled with it, and we really appreciated that as well. Someone had to stay calm - glad it was you!
Thank you for everything . I could not have chosen a better celebrant.
Love,
Monique (& David, too!)
Dear Lois,
Thank you so much for helping make our wedding ceremomy better than we ever conceived it could be - it was truly what we wanted and truly perfect.
The morning after the wedding my father pulled us aside and said he was glad we did it our own way, and that he was so happy with how it turned out.
After months of parental input and strife, we couldn't really believe we managed to make everyone happy.
Most importantly we were thrilled with it and will remember it always. Thank you so much!

Dear Lois,
Thank you for the wonderful job you did on the ceremony! Everyone and I mean EVERYONE thought you were fantastic and the perfect fit for Jeff and I.
His family and my family (devote Catholics) thought it was one of the BEST ceremonies they have ever seen and been a part of - and LOVED the symbols and rituals we chose to make it more spiritual versus religious.
Everyone is still talking about how great the ceremony was. Everything was so REAL & personalized. The story telling, and water ceremony, the sibling warming the rings, people felt like they were actually in the wedding not just witnesses.
Of course I knew you would be fabulous - but it has been very refreshing and a relief to have them say how touched they were by the thoughts, feelings and emotions we put into our ceremony. People paid attention and hung on every word that was spoken bc they were so intrigued as to what you or we would say or do next!
And last but not least - they loved the program (thanks for the ideas) - not having a timeline/ step by step - but instead giving them things to talk about.
Words cannot express how happy we are, having had you as our celebrant. It was better then I imagined it could be. I am so grateful we found each other and thank you again for being such an important part of our wedding day.
Regards, Rebecca
