Reverend Theresa Gilberti

he called me back to tell me she made a huge mistake thinking my ceremony was at 6p. I was having an outdoor ceremony. I Start panicking it will get dark. AND when it started raining at 430p. That was the straw that almost broke the camel's back. Luckily it was an elopement and the only evening she ruined was mine and the groom's.... She finally showed up around 5:20p and immediately says she would have discounted it further but she already did. (Umm what?? Insert eye roll) Keep in mind I have a photographer and Videographer. My videographer had prior engagements and had to leave before she even showed up! I now do not have ANY of my ceremony recorded. On top of this when I asked to discuss the price due to her being late she wouldn't budge. When I deducted ONLY $50 bucks from her asking price-she proceeded to raise her voice to me saying, "That's not fair Jen!" To this I responded "it's not fair you were over and hour late" ......the audacity! It's a shame the ceremony would have been nice if she would have actually showed up when she was supposed to...

to officiate our wedding this past weekend!

very responsive when it comes to emails. Theresa also was super helpful when it came to helping me prepare to change my name!

had many guests ask us how long we had known Theresa since it seemed that she knew us so well. She has a deep passion for what she does and takes the time to get to know you as a couple, and it shows in her work!! My husband and I are thankful she became a part of our special day and we highly recommend her to other couples!

emony. Theresa is clearly experienced enough that she has readings memorized, but it really felt like she was talking with us and not simply reading what was on the page. We appreciated all of her advice and direction along the way and the copy of our ceremony that she gave us afterwards.

ds reflected us and our relationship. She was such a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend her! Thank you Theresa for making our ceremony feel so personal and for sharing in such a special moment in our lives!

created from her templates was everything I could have hoped for.

have chosen anyone better. Even our D.J. commented on how excellent she was, keeping everyone involved and knowing just what to say while moving things along. We would highly recommend her for your ceremony because she really does a great job of making it all about the love you share.

ceremony was touching and hit all the right notes.

it. She offered wonderful suggestions and kept us at ease during the entire planning process as well as at our rehearsal and ceremony! Theresa provided us with so much information and approaches it with an objective viewpoint to make the ceremony our own. We had the best possible experience with her officiating our wedding and could not have asked for anyone better to do so!

presence. Make sure you get her to do your rehearsal because she won’t stop until it is perfect and everyone knows what they are doing!

ling out a picture of our dog who couldn't be there. Theresa takes a genuine interest in all her couples and took time to script out the perfect ceremony for us.

job officiating our ceremony. She was excelled to work with via Email to perfect our ceremony and allow us to make personal touches. Many of our family members commented on how great of a job she did officiating our big day. She takes care of all important documents and returns the necessary paperwork to the courthouse, which is a huge help during an already stressful time!

ies generally work and all the options available to us, but she also helped us through the legal side of getting our marriage license and how to go about changing my last name. She was very thorough and clear at our rehearsal, which our family and bridal party (and us!) really appreciated. At our wedding ceremony, she was not only professional but also charming. She captured perfectly the tone that we wanted: a healthy mix of reverence and respect while still being fun and warm. We had a great experience with Reverend Theresa and highly recommend her!

and questions. She has been a absolute pleasure to work with! She was helpful during the entire planning process, including the rehearsal. We were able to customize the template for our ceremony so that it really spoke to us. We've heard nothing but wonderful things regarding the ceremony and how lovely Theresa was from our guests! I think what we appreciate the most is that she wasn't just reading from the page, but speaking from memory and was able make it more interesting-not only for us but for the guests. She put alot of thought into every line and verse as she spoke and that showed! We really appreciate how special the ceremony was, it really did feel like it was tailored just for us. We will never forget it! Theresa also takes the time to review all that's involved getting your name changed as well, I feel less stressed about it for sure! I feel like she was exceptionally priced for all that she does, its a good deal- especially in the scheme of things. We are grateful to have found her and that she was a part of our special day! I highly recommend her for any kind of ceremony in which you need an officiant honestly-- wedding or not!

t you can use to customize your ceremony. Theresa met with us about a month prior to the wedding to meet us and make sure our ceremony was perfect for us, and our day was that and more. Our wedding guests complimented how great Reverend Theresa was as well! We loved Theresa and would definitely recommend her!

writing the ceremony and ensured that it stayed true to who we are. We got tons of compliments on how nice our ceremony was. Can't say enough good things about her. She is super organized and professional. Price was very reasonable and she did everything just as planned. Thank you Theresa!

ded so many options for us and we were able to customize our ceremony to fit our personalities and our relationship. We can't thank Theresa enough for everything! Our ceremony was everything we wanted it to be and more!

ral ceremony script options and let us choose the most suitable option for us. I would highly recommend Theresa for your wedding officiant! She really was a pleasure to work with!

gestions.

ng licence. The ceremony was a perfect length, but also long enough to bring on the water works. She was very flexible with out beliefs, since I am catholic and my husband is not religious. She had a lot of ceremony options and allowed for customization! She was absolutely perfect and an amazing and reasonable price! Thank you again Theresa!

he Inn Keeper of the B&B which was our venue. She has performed many ceremonies at our venue. She is warm person who takes time to get to know you both as a couple, but she is also very direct and wants to get business done, which is something we were looking for, no fluff. She is also very punctual, and takes that very seriously, which is something I respect. For our package, she provided a self guided rehearsal, meaning she was not there to run it. I was a little worried at first, but she provide all the information you need and after 2 runs, our crew had it down. We were also able to customize our ceremony. She provided all here ceremony templates and allowed us to cut and paste our own ceremony using parts of all of them to fit us.

. Theresa is very knowledgeable and knew the ins and outs of how to make our wedding ceremony perfect. She also gave us information on getting our marriage certificate and how to get my name changed. She was incredibly sweet, so helpful and really helped make such an exciting day really special!! You won't be disappointed!

n 24 hours. We met with her prior to the big day to talk about how we would like everything to go..and from the second of meeting her, she made us feel so comfortable. She customized our wedding ceremony to be exactly what we wanted. On the big day, she worked so well with us to make some last minute changes when we found out rain was going to effect some of the parts of the ceremony. She also gave us step-by-step instructions for our marriage license and everything that needed done to change your name. She was so helpful in more ways than one, and her enthusiastic, fun, and loving personality was perfect for our wedding. Thank you Theresa!

eremony, and was so organized. She has many different ceremony styles to choose from, and you can customize to your heart's content. On the day of the wedding, she was prompt and helpful in getting everyone organized for the ceremony. Many people remarked on how animated she was in her speaking. She was funny enough to keep it light but serious enough for the commitment taking place. I would recommend her to anyone!

ght hearted and was animated while she performed our ceremony. She responded quickly to e-mails and was accommodating for our pre-wedding meeting.

the chance to put together a ceremony that really fit us! During the ceremony, she was so wonderful. Had a little bit of a sense of humor, which we loved, and didn't flinch at how hot it was! Thank you Theresa for making our ceremony so perfect!

sy to get in contact with, fast to respond, and provided a ton of useful information.

d many unforeseen circumstances could have dampened the day. she was our ray of sunshine, rolled with the punches, and made everyone smile, cry, and be soo thankful!! we could not have chosen a more special and magical person for our day.

cient, and skilled at running a smooth rehearsal (not an easy feat with my wedding party and family, hahaha, but she did it with ease!), and she thinks of every possible logistical detail in the book to beforehand to ensure that your ceremony will be flawless. My fiancée and I even wanted to create our own special wedding tradition with a sunflower watering element, and Theresa was so enthusiastic and accommodating; she voluntarily wrote up a spoken component for this tradition without us even asking, and it was perfect! Everyone complimented us on how beautifully the ceremony was presented. We couldn't be happier that we chose to work with Theresa and highly recommend that you do as well!

d to the sand ceremony. If you are looking for an officiant definitely consider her!

ving a small intimate wedding. She was very understanding when an unexpected innocent occurred and worked with us to get through it. There are many options to go with depending upon what fits into your budget.

dding to discuss all the details. I really wanted an officiant who would be able to “round up” our wedding party of 14 people and make sure they knew and understood their roles. She did an awesome job! She was available for the rehearsal and kept our entire wedding party in line. She definitely didn’t just go through the motions. You could tell she wanted to ensure we had the best ceremony possible with everything we wanted, and she succeeded. Her fee was also very reasonable. I highly recommend her!

. She has such a great personality! She kept in contact with us throughout the planning process and offered excellent advice. When the rehearsal finally came, she was ready and willing to go through the ceremony and procession as many times as we needed even though it was nearly below freezing outside. She took everything in stride and kept me and the wedding party calm and where we needed to be at all times. The ceremony went off without a hitch and Theresa was fully prepared with tissues and comic relief throughout as it was once again very cold. It was everything we wanted and could have hoped for. Everyone thought Theresa was completely awesome! We are so thankful she married us.

ging things a few times. It was even her birthday on the day of our wedding, but she was glad to still officiate! I would recommend her to everyone!

me as a new bride. She had a 1.5-hour phone consultation with us, and got to know my husband and I; she customized our ceremony with a tradition she had never delivered before; she provided us instructions for running our own rehearsal, and did it all within our price range. The day of, she was there early, dressed beautifully and professionally, and delivered the loveliest reading of our ceremony. She was natural, mixing in light humor and genuine joy - you would think she had known us for years. This is a wonderful Reverend with a knack for customer service, and a heart of gold.

all details. We received our ceremony in a binder and absolutely loved our wedding day.

, and my wedding party was not happy the day of. Yes I was late, but she had another wedding to be at before us, which I was totally fine with, that our wedding was suppose to start at 4, she said she wouldn't be ready for us til 4:10/4:15. What we weren't happy with is that she was complaining and commenting to the DJ and to other guest. Im sorry I was late, but to me that was so unprofessional and then told my husband that any longer we would have to give her 50 dollars. Then when me and the girls get there she was yelling at us and I am trying to get my girls and guys lined up and she tells me to be quite. I have a mouth on me and wanted to say something so bad but I just wanted the shit to be over, one thing after another happened and having lack of help from the wedding party setting up and being all scattered before we even started had me off the rocker. I could have went bridezilla on everyone before it even started, but I figured,I felt Ive done a good job so far.

She came up with perfect touches and flow and it was an amazing cermony.

fficiant had an emergency and could no longer be part of our day. Although the time constraints were less than ideal, she was flexible and created a beautiful ceremony for us, with our input every step of the way. Now I'm actually happy our original plans didn't work out, as I know our day wouldn't have been a fraction as special had Theresa not guided us through it and provided her beautiful words. She will also give you a keepsake printed copy of your ceremony, which is such a lovely touch! Do yourself a favor and hire her--you won't regret it.
