"We are very happy with how you've
been able to capture our story without really
knowing us personally. So many of our
guests commented on how beautiful and
unique the ceremony was. Thank you
again!"

Dear Emily,
I want to thank you for the beautiful ceremony you
prepared for my daughter and her husband for their
wedding. You captured the tenderness and love of
their relationship, the framework of family traditions
and the support and caring of the community of
family and friends in a very personal way. This alone
would have been sufficient but it was delivered with
poise and good humour during an Upstate New York
deluge! Kudos for a ceremony that left nary a dry eye
at its conclusion.
With sincere thanks,
Inez Kohn (Julia's mother)

"Emily is absolutely wonderful. She traveled a great distance to us, led the
rehearsal, and performed the ceremony the next day. She was very easy
to work with and was more than willing to incorporate all of our ideas. As
part of the wedding, she wrote a beautiful "recognition" ceremony for our
children (my wife's from her first marriage). All of our guests commented
on how beautiful the ceremony was and how touching it was that Emily
was able to involve the children in such a meaningful way. My wife and I
highly recommend Emily to anyone in search of someone to officiate their
wedding. THANK YOU EMILY!"

"Since we didn't want a religious ceremony
we were a bit at a loss, but Emily provided a
great framework and then corresponded
with us very closely to create the ceremony
that we wanted. She did a wonderful job."

"Emily VanLaeys performed our wedding ceremony this
past July 12th. Not only did she officiate in a joyful and
festive way (which was how we wanted it), but Emily also
was extremely helpful with the preparations. She provided
sample vows and possible readings, gave advice on the
placement and timing of the ceremony and its participants,
and was positive and accepting of all our needs. I would
definitely recommend her to any other couple planning their
nuptials."

much. Chanda and I are so happy with the way the
ceremony was performed. We had numerous
compliments on how neat it was to hear you tell our
