Words of thanks from our couples

Dear Reverend and Mrs. Ciola,

We would like to thank you once again for organizing such a beautiful ceremony for our parents' 50th wedding anniversary. The words were pitch perfect and the sand unity ritual added a unique and memorable touch. Over one month later, our guest are still remarking on how lovely the ceremony was. As for our parents, well, they couldn't be happier, and that makes us happy. We are so pleased that Ms. Stefanie Jackson referred us to Vows Are Forever and that we made the decision to heed her recommendation. Rest assured, we will pay the referral forward.

Sincerely,

Beatriz David, Anthony Quintero and Sofia Quintero
Children of Jose and Providencia Quintero

Dear Rev & Mrs. Ciola,

We did not get a chance to thank you for the wonderful wedding ceremony that you facilitated for us. It was everything we wanted. Many of our friends remarked that they were so touched by the words, your passion, and the ceremony itself. We really want you to know how much we appreciate the effort and personal touch that both of you put towards our ceremony. It did not go unnoticed, and we will definitely recommend to anyone getting married that they talk to you first... It really gave us a warm feeling later, to reflect on just how caring you both were on our wedding day.

Thank you again.

Mark & Janet Rohrs

Thomas and Marcia,

We cannot even begin to explain how lucky we feel to have had you perform our wedding ceremony. So many guests and family members told us that it was by far the most beautiful ceremony they had ever seen. From the first day we met you at your office in Orlando we knew we were lucky to have found you. You were professional and personable from start to finish and it was always evident that you truly love performing weddings and that you really cared about our ceremony and our future as a couple. You made us feel at ease and performed our ceremony so beautifully that we could never express fully to you how thankful we are. We are so lucky to have such beautiful memories of the PERFECT wedding ceremony thanks to the two of you.

We have been to several weddings since ours and it has been obvious to us that many officiants do not share your same professionalism or talent for performing ceremonies.

We will continue to recommend you to anyone we know who is planning a wedding. We wish you both the best and we will never forget that beautiful day.

Sincerely,

Mitch & Amanda Crane
St. Petersburg, Florida

Reverend Tom,

Cathy and I sure do appreciate the words of the ceremony you performed for us. We both found them to be very fitting to the love we hold in our hearts for one another. It is as if God had directed us to the most unique of ministers to perform our ceremony. As Cathy and I had both spent much time finding the right person and place to hold our wedding, we are very happy with our choice of Vows Are Forever. You may use us as a reference, and we will surely pass your name on to anyone looking for that special flavor in a love-filled ceremony. Thank you so very much for all you have given us in our love for each other. You have shown how God works in our lives in all that we do.

Sincerely, and in God's love.

Cathy and Richard Rush

Dear Rev. Ciola,

When we met with you at your office, you promised us a beautiful ceremony. Thank you so much for delivering on that promise. Your wonderful ceremony truly made this a memorable day for everyone. Many, many thanks.

Dear Rev. Tom,

We are so glad that you convinced us to go with your sand ceremony rather than a unity candle. It was simply beautiful and so many people told us they had never seen anything quite like it before. Thanks again.

Raina and Luiz Matteo

Reverend Ciola,

Thank you so much for the framed mementos of our ceremony. They are greatly appreciated. Thanks to your wife too for helping everything work out so well.

Reverend Thomas,

I thought the words of your ceremony were beautiful from the very first time I read them, but I guess I wasn’t prepared to hear them spoken at our ceremony. Sorry for all the tears. Thank you again for a great service.

I wanted to write and thank you again for a beautiful service. I just kept hearing from my guests how great you were and how nice the ceremony was. And thanks for the beautifully framed plaques. I’ve already hung them up. Thanks again for everything.

Thank you so much Reverend Ciola for helping make our wedding day such a special occasion. And thank you for taking the time to help us include Frauke’s daughter in the ceremony. It meant the world to us.
