Stephen was our officiant for our wedding ceremony and he did a fantastic job from the beginning stages of planning to the day-of. He was easy to work with and very responsive and shared great suggestions to make our ceremony unique and personalized. He guided us through the marriage license paperwork and made that such an easy process for us. Would absolutely recommend Journeys of the Heart- especially Stephen to make your wedding ceremony stress-free.

We used Stephen Workman through Journeys of the Heart. Stephen was amazing. He was responsive throughout the whole process, didn't try to upsell us, and helped us create our perfect, personalized ceremony. He was very open to all of our suggestions and worked very well alongside us. He offered great recommendations with his experience but never tried to push in a direction we didn't like. I would highly recommend using his service.

ime to get to know us as a couple. He took a lot of time creating the perfect ceremony for us. He confirmed and reviewed all aspects of the ceremony and marriage license process with us. He reviewed with us at each meeting which gave us peace of mind that we were in good hands. We were asked by guests if Steve was a family member as it seemed he knew us so well. Thank you so much for creating the perfect ceremony.

Journeys of the Heart, and our officiant Stephen Workman, were amazing for our wedding. From the first call, Stephen was easygoing, kind, and really cared about us and our story....

They sent us an easy questionnaire to learn about our history, and from there he crafted a wonderful ceremony. He helped us with the logistics of the marriage license too. We're actually based in NYC, so he recommend some counties in PA where we could apply online. On the day of the ceremony, he took care of everything and made us feel like we were in great hands. Everyone at our wedding raved about how sincere our ceremony felt. We would highly recommend them.

I'm so happy a friend recommended Journeys of the Heart to me, and I'll recommend Sara to friends and family looking for an officiant.

My friend's dad is a pastor and she told me of all the weddings she'd seen done, our ceremony had one of the best! And it was definitely thanks to Amy. They also made getting our wedding license mailed in and taken care of so easy. Thank you Amy and JotH!

Debby Rickards was absolutely wonderful as our officiant! She is such a sweet, gentle, and caring person, and from the moment we first video chatted with her, she made us feel comf...

ortable and at ease. She brought such warmth and personableness to our ceremony, making it feel incredibly warm and meaningful. Debby did a beautiful job capturing who we are as a couple and individuals, creating a ceremony that felt so true to us and expertly sharing that with our friends, family and loved ones. She also honored and respected both of our families in such a thoughtful way, and it truly felt like two families becoming one. She has a calm and genuine presence that made our special day even more memorable. Her words were heartfelt and perfectly spoken, and she helped create a ceremony that we will cherish forever. We are so grateful to have had her be part of one of the most important days in our lives. If you’re looking for an officiant who is compassionate, thoughtful, and truly cares about making your ceremony sweet, comfortable, one-of-a-kind, and feels like you, we couldn’t recommend Debby more!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Stephen Workman as our officiant for our wedding on Sunday, April 26th, at the Shofuso Japanese Cultural Center in Philadelphia, and we...

truly could not recommend him more highly. From our very first call, Stephen was incredibly thoughtful, organized, and supportive. He walked us through common ceremony structures and helped us think creatively about how to personalize ours in a meaningful way. Thanks to his guidance, we were able to incorporate special elements like a Bible reading from the groom’s mom and a love box built by the groom’s dad—details that made our ceremony feel uniquely “us.” Throughout the entire process, Stephen was extremely responsive and easy to work with. He also took the time to review our vows and made sure we stayed on top of important logistics, like marriage license timing, which we really appreciated. On the day of the wedding, he arrived over an hour early, which immediately put us at ease. Everything ran smoothly, and his calm, professional presence helped set the tone for a beautiful and meaningful ceremony. If you’re looking for an officiant who is reliable, thoughtful, and truly invested in making your ceremony special, we would recommend Stephen again and again.

as in making our ceremony meaningful and personal. She took the time to really get to know us and crafted a ceremony that felt completely authentic to our relationship. On the wedding day, she was absolutely incredible. She delivered our ceremony with so much warmth, sincerity, and grace that it honestly felt like someone who had known us for years was speaking. So many of our guests came up to us afterward asking, “Who was your officiant?!” and saying how beautiful and personal the ceremony was. Several people even assumed she must have been a close friend or family member because of how naturally and thoughtfully she spoke about us. Sara created such a special atmosphere and set the tone for the entire day. We will always remember how meaningful that moment felt, and we are so grateful she was the one who married us. If you are looking for an officiant who truly cares and will make your ceremony unforgettable, Sara is the person you want.

Tess D

We never thought much about who to choose as our officiant, so hiring from Journeys of the Heart felt fairly standard. We chose Susan off of her bio and as soon as we met her, she ...

completely changed our perspective. She was so incredibly kind and was so invested in our love story, it felt like we had known her for years!! Following the ceremony, we even had guests asking which side of the family Susan was on! She delivered the ceremony beautifully and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Thank you Susan!!!

art. Diane had such a meaningful, calm and heartfelt presence while delivering our ceremony. Not only does she make it easy, but also thorough in setting up your ceremony. She collects every detail you'd like included. She provided many different options and accepted all of our preferences. She delivered the exact ceremony we were expecting that felt true to us and eloquently written (and delivered!). Our story was thoughtfully put together with all of the vows and ceremonial touches we selected. We could not have been happier, along with our guests being so impressed. If you are looking for an authentic and warming ceremony, Diane is certain to deliver that for you. Thank you, Diane!

t with us 2x prior to our wedding, and we were able to review her draft of the ceremony weeks in advance. She was receptive and understanding to notes. Day of, she was extremely professional and knew exactly what she was doing. We did a quick rehearsal before our guests arrived, and everything went seamlessly. She connected with the music to confirm cues, and was very knowledgeable of equipment that was needed - both sound wise and marriage license wise! Highly recommend working with the team at Journeys of the Heart. You will not regret it!

Highly recommend Stephen and Journeys of the Heart.

oned the way he helped personalize their ceremony, and make it feel intimate. We are so glad we hired Jim to officiate our wedding, because he did exactly that. Jim helped us create a ceremony that felt unique to us, providing us with guidance every step of the way. He set aside time to get to know us personally and had us fill out paperwork privately so that he could create a heart-felt reflection to talk about us on our wedding day. It truly felt like Jim got to know us on a personal level. Jim was funny where it counted and sincere at the same time. He answered so many of our questions and was always available if needed. So many of our guests mentioned it was one of the nicer, (& nicest!) ceremony that they had ever been to. We would highly recommend Jim and Journeys of the Heart!

Chris P

Stephen and Susan were absolutely wonderful to work with! We used Journeys of the Heart for "Wedding Wednesdays" at Love Park in Philadelphia. They answered all our questions about...

the ceremony and logistics ahead of time, which really helped ease our nerves before the big day. The ceremony was short, sweet, and beautiful. We chose to share our wedding vows privately before the ceremony, but even without our personalized vows the script that Stephen used for our ceremony was heartfelt and touching. Stephen and Susan made our day so special and we had an amazing experience with them!

She was so accommodating to all of our ideas of things we wanted to include, and also had so many ideas of her own that really helped to craft a beautiful ceremony. Her words are so moving and beautiful, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect and beautiful ceremony. And so many of our guests complimented us on Susanne and the ceremony afterwards, as well. Susanne was also so helpful with navigating the marriage license process. We cannot recommend her enough!

She provided so many helpful resources for us, wrote her ceremony speech so well (and she was absolutely perfect during the ceremony), and even made sure that everyone put their phones away during the ceremony (as I hoped). She was such a calming presence on our wedding day as well.

Jeana D

Sara Francesconi was our wedding officiant for our ceremony on 06/29/25. From our initial meeting with her, we knew that she was going to be great at helping us bring our ideas for...

our ceremony to life. From sending us potential vows and readings when we were struggling to decide, to proofreading our personal vows and giving us feedback, communication with Sara was always easy. She set up a document after our initial meeting with our ceremony outline, and in the months leading up to the wedding we made edits and adjustments as needed. We chose to do a Celtic handfasting as part of our ceremony, and Sara was great at incorporating it into the plan and the knot tying on the wedding day turned out beautiful.

He was always quick to respond to our questions, and was always flexible if we had any tweaks or changes that we wanted to make. He was truly a pleasure to work with, and he created and officiated a perfect ceremony for us. Thank you Jim! We couldn’t be more thankful.

was hard, but we ended up choosing Maura Manzo as our officiant and it was one of the best decisions we made. She was very nice and helped us understand the whole process during our first meeting. We knew we wanted a short, non-religious ceremony and she helped us achieve that while still incorporating Journey’s of the Heart signature love story. The love story added so much more personalization into the ceremony and it helped make the whole thing even more special. On the day of our wedding ceremony, Maura ran back and forth between me and my husband making sure we all understood what was going on. She delivered our ceremony beautifully despite the fact that my husband was making me laugh almost the whole time. I can’t thank her enough for all she did for us. I highly recommend Maura and Journeys of the Heart for your wedding!

We had an incredible experience with Susan at Journeys of the Heart throughout our wedding preparations and on our big day. From the start, she took the time to meet with us multip...

le times, truly getting to know us as a couple and listening to our story. Brian and I wanted a personalized ceremony that reflected who we are, and Susan crafted something truly heartfelt and meaningful. She seamlessly incorporated the elements that mattered most to us—our dogs, Philadelphia sports, Disney, and lighthearted moments that captured our personalities. I especially appreciated how beautifully she wove in the Invisible String Theory and our Oathing Stone, making them feel like natural and integral parts of our ceremony. Susan’s thoughtfulness and creativity made our ceremony unique and deeply personal. She was also incredibly responsive via email and text, which was invaluable during the stressful wedding planning process. After our ceremony, so many of our family members and friends told us how wonderful and heartfelt it was—they even thought Susan was someone we had known for years! 😊 If you’re looking for someone to create a meaningful, personalized, and unforgettable ceremony, I wholeheartedly recommend Susan. She will bring warmth, creativity, and a genuine connection to your special day.

My husband and I weren’t comfortable asking someone we knew to officiate our wedding, but it was still really important for us to have a personal, meaningful ceremony. Our wedding ...

planner suggested finding an officiant with Journeys of the Heart and we were connected with Stephen Workman, who we immediately liked. From our first introduction email, Steve was warm, professional, and thoughtful. He helped craft a beautiful ceremony and really got to know my husband and I to create a memorable ceremony that spoke to us as a couple. He made suggestions on how to structure the ceremony and include various readings and traditions from each of our backgrounds. Our ceremony may have been the favorite part of our wedding and Steve is to thank for that! He also made the process of getting a wedding license straightforward and was on top of the technicalities of getting married and mailing the wedding certificate. It may not sound like a big deal, but when there are 1,000 things going on, it was a relief to trust he was on top of the actual legal steps! I highly recommend working with Steve Workman from Journeys of the Heart.

My partner and I got married on 11/2/24 at the Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, PA. We spent a lot of time discussing all the components that we wanted as part of our special day...

and concluded that it would be best to have an officiant even though it would be an added cost. We found Sara Francesconi at Journeys of the Heart via some searching online and recommendations from our venue. Sara was the perfect match for us. She was very well organized, ahead of the game constantly, and very receptive to us. We had a few calls to get to know each other and lay the foundations for what ended up being a beautiful ceremony. We both come from catholic backgrounds and Sara, who comes from a similar background, was well in-tuned with this. She suggested many ideas in our verbal and electronic discussions that ended up becoming part of the ceremony. Sara worked with us via shared documents to craft a story that was truly reflective of us. She arrived early on the day of our ceremony and interacted well with all of our guests and venue. Her natural energy radiated during the ceremony both in bring folks together for a intimate moment and an aurora of calm that allowed me and my partner to relax. Her suggestion of a unity candle was perfect for us. By the end, Sara felt like a close friend and we couldn’t recommend her more!

We cannot recommend Diane Mina Weltman from Journeys of the Heart enough! From the very first interaction, Diane was a shining light in our wedding planning journey. She guided us ...

effortlessly through the entire process, helping us find our voice as a couple and crafting a beautiful ceremony that truly captured our essence. After countless emails and planning sessions, meeting her on our wedding day felt like reuniting with a family member. Diane took charge of the ceremony with such love and kindness, effortlessly bringing laughter and tears to our special day. Her ability to read the room and fill it with warmth made our ceremony unforgettable. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the ceremony was, all thanks to Diane's incredible presence and skill. We truly can’t imagine our wedding day without her. A heartfelt thank you to Journeys of the Heart and Diane for making our day so magical. We will cherish these memories forever!

My husband and I were married by Susanne Wilson of Journeys of the Heart on August 31, 2024. We have been at a loss of words since then with how incredible our day was. Susanne was...

truly a gift to find. She was unbelievably kind and caring, listening to every single word we said throughout the entire planning process. From the initial Zoom call, we knew she would be perfect for us. It is nerve wrecking to find someone you trust to officiate one of the most special days of your lives, but with Susanne, you’ll second guess why you were ever worried. She incorporated such important elements such as honoring our loved ones near, far, and no longer with us. Everything was so, so special.

She really made every step of the way easy, fun and filled with love and joy.

I would highly recommend working with Sara or anyone from Journeys of the Heart!
