Ms. Grenier: Thank you for such kind words and inviting me to participate in Tonya and Kirk’s wedding! The pleasure was all mine! Tonya and Kirk are a beautiful pair; they were so clearly happily in love! And they are very lucky to enjoy such a warm, friendly family! The few speckles of snow were quite a gift that day, and I will remember the moment always. Best wishes, Judie

Dear Judie
I want everyone to know about our wonderful experience in meeting you, when our daughter Tonya was married on Dec 17th, 2011. When Tonya told us of her plans and of contacting you online for the ceremony we (myself, my husband, family, and friends) were all a little skeptical and truly did not know 100% what to expect when the time came. Tonya kept reassuring us, but deep down we were a little uneasy, not living near the city ourselves or having any experience with elopement ceremonies. The day came of course, we (the two families) were running late, panic setting in, and there you were, just where you said you would be. We found you so calm and reassuring. We loved during the ceremony how the beautiful and thoughtful words just flowed so easy, your watchful eye and personal touch was felt and just set the tone. The day was so very special and unforgettable, a beautiful memory for Tonya and her husband Kirk and both our families. Thank you so very much for the time and service that you provided for all of us. Reggie & Wanda Grenier

Judie and Liam…we are still teary eyed reading the words thqt you spoke about us on the 22nd…it didn’t mater that it was a bit chilly and damp, our ceremony was warm and thoughtful and presented by you in a very special way…we appreciate your customization of our thoughts that felt so personal and spoke genuinely about our romance…thanks to Liam for hanging with us through the chilly breezes and falling leaves…and for the pictures that captured our ceremony…it was a very special day!

Congratulations to the couple. We happen to be there having our wedding pictures done and trying to find a place to have our ceremony in November. We observed their vows from the fountain and I LOVE the brides beautiful dress and veil. Again Congratulations!

Thank you so much for a perfect wedding ceremony! Your writing was fantastic! I’m amazed at the way your weaved in and out of the spiritual tone towards a lighter one. I belly-laughed several times – which is what I was hoping for. Doug and I received several compliments on your service! I’m so happy that we found you — you really made our day special!

This is a beautiful venue. I first heard about it when I was randomly searching on City Maps for a possible place to have my wedding. The site let me view their prices and read reviews from other couples. It is definitely at the top of my list.

OHHH great to know! Perhaps it will be a cute picture spot we can use instead. I appreciate your feed back and will research the perfect spot when we are there in two weeks for the photo shoot.

Hi Michelle! The spot is known as the Glen Span Arch in the upper part of Central Park (west side). It is a lovely place in which to marry with one notable issue…the Waterfall makes it very difficult to hear your officiant. Since Central Park does not permit amplified sound with an extra special permit, the noise factor is something to consider. In the case of B+B, the video (and some guests) could only pick-up muffled sound, so I did a voice-over for the entire ceremony.
