Lyrical Life Ceremonies

thinking of every detail that you may not have even considered. Don’t look anywhere else, you will not find anyone better!

y special (and honestly barely needed ANY editing at all). We truly feel like Diane went above and beyond to make a truly memorable ceremony for us both - we got so many compliments from everyone on how the ceremony was "very us" :)

k like, it was all positive and enjoyable. She heard us out, took notes, and came back with an incredible script of our story. From that rough draft, she added in all sorts of details. She was very easy to work with and talk to, and full of creative ideas. There are things we would have never thought of without her help. She helped us tell our story in a beautiful way at the wedding ceremony, and even added a bit of humor which we loved. Our families were both very impressed and we enjoyed it because it was different than your "traditional" script. I highly recommend working with Diane if you want something special. She made our wedding ceremony very unique to us and I am so thankful we had the chance to work with her!

when she is presiding over ceremonies. So many people asked how long we had known her, was she a family friend? And we’re shocked to find out we had just met her. If you want a structured yet peaceful, detailed and thought out wedding ceremony, Diane is the one for you! 11/10 would hire again and recommend to anyone I know!

pare and review the script. She also provided us with research on different vows and we wanted a handfasting ceremony, so she gave us the color symbolism as well. I highly recommend Diane for a thoughtful, detail-oriented, and beautiful ceremony of whatever your needs are. She will do the research and meet your desires and beyond!

ted, and put together the most beautiful ceremony. The fact that she took the time to sit down with us and really learn the history of our relationship meant so much to us. Our family and friends had nothing but good things to say and there wasn't a dry eye in the place! We HIGHLY recommend Diane an an officiant.

th as individuals and then as a couple together-- and then was able to convey that sooooo beautifully in our ceremony. We received many compliments from our wedding guests on the sweet, heartfelt, and meaningful words of our officiant. She was flexible with the kind of ceremony we wanted to have and helped it make us feel so authentic. I'm almost emotional writing this review as I look back on how wonderful of an experience we both had with Diane; my husband is a man of few words and he was emphatic after meeting Diane for the first time that she was an awesome choice and a great fit for us. And he couldn't have been more right about that!!

d what we were about and let that shine on our big day. We had a great time watching our family and friends react to the ceremony. Everyone was talking all night about how sweet and entertaining our ceremony was and how great our celebrant was. We are so honored to have had Diane as our celebrant.

o reflect and honor that. We also wanted everyone there (our parents and our kids) to have a role in the ceremony. We had no idea where to start, but we didn’t need to. Diane met with us through Zoom, to ask questions and listen to the details of our love story and our coming together as one family. What she was able to put together after one call was absolutely beautiful. It was clear that she truly understood and respected our vision, and our story, and pulled it all together into a magical telling of us. Diane was open to our thoughts and feedback throughout the entire process, and honored every request with so much thought and care. In the end, the ceremony that she created for us was worlds beyond what we had ever imagined. It was truly magical. My mother was our officiant, as Diane was not able to join us on Block Island. Our four teenagers and two other parents also had roles in the ceremony. Diane arranged and sent to us a perfectly organized document with each person’s role clearly labeled on separate cards, all we had to do was print everything, and bring it with us. Because of Diane’s work to organize and make things perfectly clear in the documents, there was absolutely no confusion on the day of the wedding. It could not have been easier. She also took all the time we needed to run through the ceremony, detail by detail, to be sure we were comfortable, happy and clear about the flow. Diane took our cloudy vision and created a ceremony so heartfelt and so perfectly reflective of our love story and our new family. Our family, the photographer, and the chef that were there all commented that they had never witnessed something so personal or felt every word so deeply, nor had they witnessed a ceremony that perfectly represented a couple and a family like ours did. Diane created this for us. And she was kind, patient, understanding, gentle, open-minded, accepting, and professional. Do not hesitate to work with Diane. She is one of a kind. We are forever grateful to her.

m our initial meeting, to her script, the rehearsal, and then our ceremony, we always knew exactly what to expect. She took so much stress out of a huge part of the wedding. In our initial meeting, she truly got to know my fiance and I as a couple and as people, asking how we met, our love story, and what we love about each other. It was really nice just a couple of months before our wedding to express all of that and remind ourselves how we fell in love. Additionally, she made sure to tailor this ceremony exactly to us, our personalities, and our preferences. Within a week of that meeting, she had a script to us and we had another zoom meeting where we went over it. She helped us each individually with our personalized and secret vows, providing guidance and help. At the rehearsal, she was prompt, professional, and told all of us exactly what we needed to do, where we needed to be, and how the ceremony would go. It was a relief to know that everything would go smoothly and we, as the couple, did not need to worry about how things would go. Multiple members of my family expressed how impressed they were with how she conducted the rehearsal and that they did not need to have any concerns about the ceremony either. The ceremony itself was amazing. She has notes but also memorizes part of her script, conveying to the audience a professionalism and a friendliness that puts everyone at ease. I had multiple guests state that she was the best officiant they had ever seen and that they wished they could have had her at their wedding. Diane is incredible, and I highly recommend hiring her for your wedding. She made the best day of our lives even better, and I cannot express how grateful we are to her for her work.

story. Then she composed the ceremony and reviewed and revised it with us until it was perfect. Part of our wedding ritual was a hand fasting and Diane was encouraging and confirming about the cords we chose; they were large enough for the audience to see and we selected specific colors to represent the characteristics we wanted to include in our marriage to one another. Diane came prepared in advance to discuss staging and logistics for our outdoor wedding in the Rocky Mountains. She is a very caring and professional Celebrant. And she is an outdoorswoman who does not mind a hike to a special ceremony site! Everyone who attended was very complimentary about the ceremony with comments like, "Amazing", "Best wedding ceremony they had ever seen". I met Diane through my work in funeral service. She excels as a funeral celebrant also. She helped families we serve to begin the healing process by creating unique and personalized funeral and memorial ceremonies to say goodbye to their loved ones. And she has personally served our family that way as well. In fact, even before I proposed to my bride, I knew I wanted Diane to be our Celebrant! Diane has our highest recommendation for your family's ceremonies.

out her. It can be intimidating selecting vendors, trust me, you will be over the moon if you work with Diane!

ss. From our first meeting to the actual day, she was easy to reach, answered all our questions, and gave us excellent advice. She even mails your marriage license to whichever county you need, so you don't have to worry about that post-ceremony! She also wrote an INCREDIBLE ceremony for us. We met a few times in person and over zoom, and filled out her couples questionnaire, and from that, she crafted a genius, romantic, perfectly tailored to us ceremony. She was also at the rehearsal to talk everyone through their roles, their movements, and every little detail you never thought you needed, but totally do need! I cannot recommend her enough :)

en us special memories to last a lifetime.

what she does so beautifully and really makes each tiny detail count. We had several people come up to us afterwards and say that our ceremony was the best one they have ever seen. I cannot recommend Lyrical Life Ceremonies enough to any couple who is getting married!

ere just done and Diane made sure to not add any additional stress. Her ceremony was absolutely perfect. It was a combination of humor and poignancy that truly fit us as a couple. Plus, she engaged our guests and didn't stand like a statue between us. It is clear that she loves what she does, and she was the perfect person to marry us.

ning to take our guests by Jeep into the San Juan Mountains in Ouray, Colorado. When we met with Diane in person we knew she would be a great fit, as she was very easy to talk to and communicated her expectations of us and what services she would be able to provide. Diane's attention to detail, professionalism and guidance made her an outstanding officiant. She always made us feel like we were a priority, and that she valued our time always being conscientious and flexible. Diane encouraged us to work on multiple ceremony drafts and to complete the ceremony well in advance before wedding planning picked up. We were so grateful to have the ceremony exactly how we wanted it and our guests had so many positive things to say about how personalized and unique the ceremony was to us as a couple. Diane provided guidance when needed and listened very closely to all of the details we wanted in the ceremony, always making edits no matter if they were big or small. We highly recommend Diane to any couple that wants a personalized ceremony, and wants to work with someone who will get to know you, your love story and convey that to your guests exactly how you want it on your wedding day. Diane was also willing to travel from Evergreen, CO to Ouray, CO (5 hours one way) to be with us on our special day. We could not be happier with Diane's services and she truly made the experience positive and enjoyable.
