Rave Reviews

We're so glad we hired Gwen to officiate our wedding! We absolutely LOVED how she presented our love story to our family and friends. She also introduced the tradition of a ring-warming ceremony, which we had never heard of but wanted to do immediately after she told us about it. Anyone who wants to celebrate love, religious or not, should hire Gwen to be their officiant!

  We had a great experience with Gwen! She is extremely knowledgeable and organized. She customized our service exactly how we wanted. She took time to get to know us and spoke to family and friends to write a ceremony that told our personal love story. It was sweet and also funny. Everyone loved the personal touches. I would definitely recommend her services!

 Gwen is a wonderful officiant and celebrant whose dedication to understanding us as a couple shone through in everything. The love story she created for us beautifully told our story, making our wedding day even more unforgettable. We had many guests commenting on how it added a special touch to the ceremony. We're incredibly grateful to Gwen for making the entire experience seamless and unique.

Gwen did a wonderful job officiating our ceremony. We really appreciated the time she took with us in planning prior to the wedding day and the work that she did to personalize the ceremony. We loved the warming of the rings as a part of the ceremony because it engaged our guests in such a meaningful way.

Gwen made our day absolutely perfect. She was extremely organized and always kept us in the loop of what she was planning on saying at the ceremony. We didn't get to hear our love story until the ceremony which made for the perfect suprise, and she nailed it. Made us laugh and cry. We highly recommend Gwen! 

When we met Gwen during our initial consultation, we were super impressed by her friendliness, kind voice, and professionalism. She wrote our ceremony to our style. Her final product synced with our wedding perfectly! Many of our guests commented on what a great job she did. Gwen made us laugh, cry, and feel the love that everyone in the room shared. It was beautiful.

 Gwen married me and my partner, Andrew. She was delightful to work with, did an amazing job and we couldn’t be happier that we chose her to officiate our ceremony. The love story wedding is one I would recommend to anyone. Our friends and family loved it, as did we! We had so many guests comment on Gwen and what a great officiant she is.

Gwen did such an amazing job at our ceremony. We had many people mention how much they enjoyed the ceremony and that is due to how much work and detail Gwen incorporates in painting the love story of the couple. She was super organized and communicated directly with our party members to gather the information she needed to create such a personalized ceremony. I would highly recommend Gwen if you are looking for an officiant.

Gwen was extremely professional, responsive, and really impressed us right off the bat. She made every effort to personalize our ceremony, which meant the world to us. Several of our family and friends who attended the wedding even commented that it was one of the best ceremonies they had ever been to because of how Gwen told our love story and included comments and anecdotes from those who know us best. We highly recommend Gwen to anyone who is looking for a highly professional and experienced officiant who is willing to go the extra mile to make your ceremony unique and memorable.  

 Gwen was a wonderful addition to our wedding! Her ceremony was personal, heart felt and everything that my husband I wanted for our wedding. We are not religious people, and we wanted our ceremony to be short and sweet. Gwen provided different options for the ceremony and sweet rituals that fit us as a couple. Her ceremony included our guests/family and it made it even more perfect. Gwen was super easy to work with, organized and detail oriented. You would be lucky to have her be the officiant for your wedding!

 Gwen made my wedding day experience amazing. I choose the romantic elopement package and it was very much so worth it. The scenery was beautiful, intimate and great for pictures to capture the moment. The ceremony was short, sweet and had me in tears from start to finish. I love the way Gwen’s sweet spirit made me feel like she had known me and my partner for years, especially with her words of love in the ceremony. Gwen Downs gets a 10 out of 10 stars for me!!!

 We loved having Gwen as our officiant. The love story she told was perfect and many guests said it was the best ceremony they'd ever experienced. Gwen was also very professional, making sure all the I's were dotted and T's crossed and that every detail was planned for so we could focus on one another and our family on our big day.
