Journeys of the Heart

Our officiant from Journeys of the Heart (Naila) was FABULOUS!!!!

Kelly Fuddy, of Journeys of the Heart, officiated our recent Lancaster wedding. I called her initially just to get a feel for her personality (totally normal!) and then arranged a telephone meeting between me, my fiance, and Kelly. She really got us thinking about what we wanted from our ceremony. She sent us a "Love Story" form, which we initially cringed at and delayed filling out. We were pleasantly surprised how she took the information we provided and created an AMAZING ceremony. We got tons of compliments from our guests. My mom insists that that was the best wedding ceremony she has ever been to. I can't say enough great things about Kelly and would 100% recommend her to anyone.

We had Diane Smith-Hoban as our officiant. We heard so many compliments about Diane and the ceremony, more than any other aspect of the wedding. I can't count how many times someone came up to us and said it was the best wedding ceremony they have ever attended. She made it personal and beautiful and has great comic timing and wit and had our family and friends laughing. Journeys of the Heart creates a ceremony which honors the couple and glories in the partnership they are creating. This isn't the same ceremony everyone else does, you get a one of kind experience. I cannot recommend it enough. PS. We had two couples at the wedding who are getting married next year, they both asked for Diane's number.

We had Laura Ford officiate our wedding. She was really a joy to work with - taking so much time to get to know us and really putting together a heartfelt, personal ceremony. I had quite a few guests tell me that our ceremony was the most "real & personal" ceremony that they had ever seen. Laura was also so accommodating - marrying us OUTSIDE in 35 degree weather. Thank you, Laura! I know we were a little crazy with that one :)

Laura Ford from Journeys of the Hearts performed our ceremony. When we first met her, she was very interested in knowing exactly what we wanted and how we wanted our love story told. During our ceremony she incorporated our family members who are no longer with us, and she told the perfect love story that really made for a beautiful ceremony, it was very touching. She really made our day special!

Journeys of the Heart is a wonderful ministry service and we are so happy we looked to them to find the officiant for our wedding. On their website are extensive bios of all their officiants (about 22) and it is easy to read through them and get a feel for who might fit your personal style. My husband and I read through the bios separately, and both of us chose Jim Rosengarten to be the officiant for our wedding! From the first time we met Jim, we knew we had made the right decision. He is warm, personable, and genuinely interested in getting to know the couples with whom he works. After listening closely to our vision for the wedding and carefully reading our responses to the Journeys of the Heart questionnaire (including questions about how we met, when we first knew we were in love, etc.), Jim wrote the most beautiful and personal ceremony for us. Our guests were very impressed also, commenting that they had never been to a more tailor-made event that aptly reflected the bride and groom. My husband and I were honored to have Jim perform our wedding ceremony. We highly recommend Jim – and Journeys of the Heart – to any future bride & groom!

We were getting married outside and are not very religious. Our venue recommended Journeys of the Heart and they were was wonderful. We specifically worked with David Braneky. He was very responsive with all the questions I sent to him. The day of he was there when he said he would be and had a great personality. He made us feel at ease when we were nervous standing up in front of almost 200 people.

Miki Young was absolutely wonderful. She took the time to know about the bride and groom and made the ceremony very special. Quite a few people commented that it was the most exceptional ceremony they had been to.

Journeys of the Heart is fantastic! We selected Diane and she was absolutely perfect! We loved our ceremony and we received many compliments!

We had the most memorable and amazing experience with Susanne Wilson. She is a caring, calming, genuine person and was an absolute pleasure to work with. She has such a unique and beautiful way with words. She created a wonderful wedding ceremony for us- one that captured our love and relationship perfectly. I truly cannot say enough kind words about her. I was amazed by all the wonderful feedback we got from our friends and family regarding the ceremony- they were so moved. Everyone kept saying that it was hands down the best ceremony they had ever been a part of. I highly, highly recommend Susanne to everyone and anyone. She was such a special part of our wedding day and we will never forget it or her!

We were very pleased with Susanne Wilson. She is one of the sweetest women I have ever met and she put together a wonderful ceremony. We got so many compliments about her and the ceremony. We couldn't be happier!

Miki Young was the officiant for our interfaith wedding. She did an AMAZING job. The ceremony was just what we wanted: person, unique, light-hearted, and not too long:) Many of our guests raved about Miki, and that our ceremony was the best they have ever been to. It could not have gone any better, and it was a great experience working with Miki.

One of the best decisions we made was choosing Maria Odilia from Journeys of the Heart. We knew immediately after meeting Maria for the first time that she was a perfect fit for us. She worked with us for months tweeking our ceremony to exactly how we wanted it; we got so many compliments on it afterwards from guests. Maria was a delight to have with us on our wedding day!

They did the job! Great pricing options for different ceremonies. We didn't think with only talking to us for 15 mins that Naila would know what to do for us but it was perfect. We were allowed to change the wording and add things that we wanted.

Irene Fulton – Journeys of the Heart as a company is amazing. They are quick torespond, and have a number of officiants to choose from. We read through the list and found Irene tobe the best fit for us. After meeting her in person, we knew we chose the best choice for us. She is trulywonderful. From the moment we met, we got this peaceful vibe from her, and as two very emotionalpeople, that was definitely a must have. She worked with us to create a personalized ceremony for thebig day. She offered suggestions, fixed up some wording to sound more formal, and lent us a helpfulhand whenever it was needed.On the day of the wedding she was prompt and quickly helped the guys get in order (we didn’t do a firstlook). She delivered our ceremony so beautifully that there wasn’t a dry eye in the whole place. Shewas patient (with our cries of happiness) and was overall the only person I could ever imagine guidingus through our handfasting, and marriage. Every single person commented on how unique, loving andwonderful our ceremony was – a large part of the credit to that belongs with Irene.I highly recommend Journeys of the Heart as a company, but especially Irene Fulton.

We had David Braneky as our officiant at our Wedding. He was very professional and easy to get along with. Our ceremony was very personal and delivered with perfection. Our guests loved the ceremony and we got a lot of rave reviews. Thank you for being a part of our special day.

Diane Smith Hogan was the best officiant we could ever have imagined! She had so many great suggestions and she let us customize the selections she had. She listened to everything we said and the ceremony was really US! She looked at the site and made the best suggestion to have us facing our guests, to really include them. We really felt like she had our service in hand. Thank you so much Diane! Love, Karen and Michael Curtis

I would HIGHLY recommend Journeys of the Heart if you are looking for a beautiful, personalized, spiritual ceremony. Maria Odilia crafted such a meaningul and beautiful ceremony for my husband and I. So many guests commented on how personal and beautiful and special our ceremony was.

I can't say enough about Diane! She was FABULOUS! She helped us create a wedding ceremony that was unique to us. She offered great suggestions and was very patient with any changes we had. We had so many compliments from guests on the ceremony!!!

We had Diane from Journey's of the Heart. She did an amazing job with our ceremony. We had a lot of people come up to us and say that was the best ceremony they had ever seen! She only met with us one time and yet it seemed like she had known us forever! JOTH is great for designing your own ceremony. Diane walked through everything with us and asked us what we wanted, special things we wanted to add, and you get to pretty much create a ceremony exactly how you want it. Diane did a great job sharing our story during the ceremony and really focusing on the love and the importance of the day. She was so easy to work with and such a great person in general. We were so happy with how the ceremony came out and I would recomend her to anyone!
