Introduction
I love love love my job! I studied , Religious studies, Women's studies, Buddhism as well as many other religious and humanities courses at Penn State University.. I have been a caretaker and a counselor! I graduated with honors in 2013 and I am LGBTQ family friendly! I am fully vaccinated and wear a mask! Bride and groom can forgo a mask at their discretion during ceremony! Small , medium , or large! Or just you two and me in a park! 💝💝💝 LGBTQ friendly! I have ceremonies to fit all scenarios. You choose the ceremony you want. from a short, civil ceremony, to a long religious or non-religious ceremony with or without prayers, poems and/ or Bible readings. Just the basics, so be it! Short civil ceremonies at my location will be less costly! It's your day, your way! From 2 to 500, no wedding is too small! After the ceremony, I will slip quietly away. I will also take care of all the paperwork for the state. I am proud to have received the top pro award !🦋 Together we can make your special day just the way you want it, or if you prefer, I can handle the entire ceremony for you and you can stop worrying about that part of your day with just one consultation phone call at no charge for the call. If you are receiving this quote, I am available on your date! But don’t wait too long because it is first come first serve and others may have requested this date! Meeting new couples. I especially enjoy writing the vows and seeing the tears of joy if my couples are hearing them for the first time even though they have the option of previewing it! Joining hearts! Helping people plan their ceremony for their special day.

Very quick, simple, and heartwarming. She waited for me even though I was late (I gave her extra for my unexpected delay). I loved the experience!

Carol was an absolute lifesaver for our daughters wedding! Their original officiant had a family emergency a week before the wedding and had to be out of town so he was unable to perform the ceremony. I reached out to Carol through Thumbtack and she graciously accepted on such short notice. She reached out to our daughter to discuss everything and made sure to follow their wishes for the ceremony. It was a beautiful day and Carol helped!

First of all, I would like to say how amazing Carol was on our special day! Very professional, and beyond helpful! Her communication was phenomenal the entire way through, making sure everything was set in place. The ceremony was beautiful, nothing too long or too short, just enough to help spread the love, joy and promises for everyone in the room. If I had to travel back to look for another officiant, i would no doubt select Carol all over again. and I must say, her prices are much cheaper than what she's truly worth to book!!!

Details: Wedding • Non-denominational (mentions God) • 21 - 50 guests • Help writing vows will not be needed • English • Officiant will not be needed at the rehearsal • Officiant does not need to be present at rehearsal
