7 Reviews for Living Ceremonies
She truly exceeded our expectations for our ceremony. She gave us an outline of how it would go and we had told her some things we wanted to incorporate, but we wanted the specifics to be a surprise on our wedding day. She did a beautiful job of telling our love story. There was laughter and tears, but more than anything the ceremony was overwhelmingly "us". It truly captured the essence of who my partner and I are and the story of our love. All of our guests mentioned how wonderful and unique our ceremony was.
I cannot recommend Benita enough and will refer her to anyone I can!
