| "Val has the wonderful ability to adjust to each couple's style. If you
are a "hands-on" type of couple (like us), she will work with you to
tweak the details until you are completely satisfied. However, if you
are more the "leave it to the pro" type of couple, then you can trust
Val to prepare a thoughtful and complete ceremony for you. She arrives
early & prepared, she has a great sense of humor, she handles herself with
grace, and she stays cool & calm under pressure. We are so happy
that she was the officiant on our very special day and would highly
recommend her to anyone!" - Melinda & Tristan

| "She says she does it because she just loves it. She
may not realize it but Valerie Coleman is amazingly gifted in creating
and writing the most beautiful, simple, romantic and very moving wedding
ceremonies. Thank you so much Val for making a great success of the best day of our lives!" - Valerie and Guto (United Kingdom)

It was touching, personal, spiritual, lighthearted, and our friends and family felt included which they loved. Our Ceremony was a beautiful start to a beautiful day and we will always thank Val for that." - Tahisha and Deron

| Valerie really took the time to get to know us, to develop our vows, and make them special based on our personal stories. She incorporated several details of our relationship into our ceremony and shared them with our friends and family during the ceremony. It made it VERY special for both of us. Valerie is very sweet and kind, she took the time to get to know us personally before the ceremony ... she was one of the family! - Chris and Cris, Denver CO

| "Thank you so much for everything. I am so glad I chose you as our celebrant. It wouldn't have been the same with anyone else. Arranging a wedding overseas can be stressful especially as I did it all myself but you made it so much easier. Your advice and guidance was a great help. Our vows were lovely and matched us perfectly. I would recommend you in an instant. Kenny says you really put him at ease. All of our family agreed you were a great choice." - Shelley & Kenny (Scotland)

| Val was great! From the very beginning she made us feel comfortable and
we knew we were in good hands. She offered a very personalized
experience and created a custom ceremony for our informal and intimate
gathering. Her professionalism and sensitivity made our destination
wedding in New York City seamless. She helped us have a warm and
spiritual event despite our different faiths. All of our family members
commented how wonderful Val was. - Brian and Chris, Atlanta GA

"Thank you so much for being such a wonderful calming presence at the wedding. It was so special having you officiate for us. Everyone loved your stories and funny recollections of how Ken & I found each other. You made everything so personal, humorous, and touching. It definitely was so representative of us. " - Pauline and Ken

| "When we decided to go to New York for a short break little did we know
that it would be a trip of
a lifetime as we decided to renew our vows while we were there. We contacted Valerie at short notice to see if she could arrange a small
ceremony and could not believe what she came up with. Valerie
picked a lovely spot in central park, so intimate and romantic,
hard to believe for such a busy place. With the information we gave,
Valerie put together a ceremony that was special and uniquely personal
to us. We will never forget our trip to New York and renewing our vows. Thanks Valerie for making it so special for us". - Gary and Nora (Ireland)

"Valerie took the time to genuinely get to know us in order to make our wedding ceremony the most memorable experience possible. She truly embraces the importance of the occasion to her clients, which sets her apart from other celebrants and wedding officiants.

spectacular! We loved every moment." - Jay and Nika

"This was the second marriage for both of us, and attempting to blend two families and five children can sometimes be a challenge. Val did a wonderful job of creating a ceremony that was sensitive to the feelings of all. The result was a very beautiful wedding and memorable day for each of us.
Thank you Val for making our ceremony so special." - Karen and Mike

| "We cannot thank Val enough for bringing our love
and admiration for one another to life! The questionnaires she asked us
to fill out were lots of fun to complete. They allowed us
explore our journey together that brought us to the love and
commitment we were ready to express to one another in front
of our family and friends.
We GREATLY appreciated her professionalism;
every commitment she made she kept. Additionally, she officiated our
ceremony beautifully with just the right amount of humor and formality. We couldn't have asked for more!" - Amanda and Tara

She tailored the ceremony to our needs and made our small, private moment something we will always cherish.
