My husband and I knew we didn't want a "religious" wedding and Journeys of the Heart was recommended by our wedding venue. Brian Dixon was our officiant and our experience with him was great from start to finish. He made us feel comfortable, was flexible when we had to postpone due to COVID, and was very accommodating when I asked if he could incorporate details about my grandmother who had passed away after our original wedding date. I love how he personalized our ceremony with our love story and made it more special.

We were finally able to have our wedding in March 2021. We choose Journeys of the Heart to officiate our wedding. Stephen served as our officiant. He was wonderful to work with. He was very attentive to listening to our love story and turned it into such a beautiful ceremony. So many people came up to us saying how lovely the ceremony was. We definitely recommend this company and Stephen!

The whole team at Journeys from the Heart was great to work with on our wedding ceremony. Due to COVID-19 we had to move our date and our original officiant Gabbi was not available. The team helped us find another officiant within the group, Stephen. We are so glad we went with Journeys from the Heart for our ceremony which incorporated both Roman Catholic and Jewish traditions. Between Gabbi and Stephen's combined efforts we had a wonderful ceremony that received numerous compliments from our family and guests.

Naila Francis did a beautiful job with my husband and my wedding ceremony. We met for coffee beforehand to talk everything out. She was therefore able to create a personalized, thoughtful ceremony. Multiple guests were very impressed by how well she did. I would not hesitate to hire her!
