Circle of Love

Congratulations!

You are getting married!

What an exciting time in your life.

It would be an honor for me to help you create and experience a beautiful wedding ceremony.

By listening to what is important to you, I can help you design a joyful and inspirational wedding.

Let us work together to make your wedding meaningful and memorable.

Services

So let us begin!

In order to guide you in customizing your ceremony, the following services are available to you:

Consultation

I look forward to meeting you. With your input, I will be able to help you in choosing the kind of wedding ceremony that best celebrates your love for each other. I can also guide you through the process of how to get a Connecticut marriage license. Please email me or call me at 413-478-9105 to schedule an initial consultation.

Rehearsal

A rehearsal can help the wedding ceremony run more smoothly. It is an opportunity for me to welcome and meet all involved in the ceremony, as well as answer any questions and help to alleviate any stress. A rehearsal is recommended for larger and more involved weddings. If you are having a small, brief wedding, a rehearsal is not as necessary.

Ceremony

Your wedding ceremony will celebrate you and your love for each other. What a wonderful moment in your life! What a special time for family and friends who will gather to celebrate you! You can personalize your wedding through the use of music, readings, rituals that might express your heritage, religious, non religious and/or cultural beliefs. Traditional vows used by grandparents and/or parents can be used, or vows can be created by the couple. Families and children can be incorporated into the ceremony. There are so many choices. As your Wedding Officiant, I will direct the ceremony in a calm, confident, joyous and enthusiastic manner.

Testimonials

"We are beyond grateful to have had Barbara officiate our wedding! She offered us the opportunity to marry in our new home which made our ceremony that much more intimate and special. Barbara is an excellent listener, and took the time to really get to know us as a couple. Hearing that we were worried about being too emotional to exchange long, written vows, she provided us with a wedding ceremony that perfectly captured our sentiments - and spared us from dissolving into tears! We wholeheartedly recommend having Barbara officiate your ceremony as she will calm any nerves, provide great ideas and just add warmth and joy to your wedding day!"
Cybil and Nikhil
"As soon as we sat down with Barbara for our initial consultation we knew we made the right choice to have her officiate our wedding. Although we are both very spiritual, neither of us feel strongly religious. Barbara helped guide us in selecting wording for the ceremony that we were both comfortable with. She also made excellent suggestions for our wedding vows that perfectly captured our feelings for each other and what we wanted to convey to our wedding guests. We felt that our wedding ceremony was tailor-made just for us and she had wonderful suggestions for customizing the event. She helped our maid and man of honor select readings that they felt represented our union. A sister, aunt, and friend sang a beautiful song. At her suggestion, there was a wonderful pause in the ceremony where we took a moment to reflect on the very important people in our lives who are no longer with us. Our wedding day was the perfect one-of-a-kind event we were looking for, all because of Barbara's caring and attentive guidance. Thank you Barbara!"

"We are so happy to have met Barbara and have her help make our wedding day so special. Throughout our months of planning, she was helpful and super responsive. She took the time to get to know us and understand our vision. The ceremony she led was personal, sentimental and included everything we wanted. We could not have asked for anything more."
Melanie and John
