In this short video of a wedding written by Reverend Lodge, you can see and hear how the love and sincerity of the couple were mirrored in the words of the ceremony and in their vows, which added to the emotional impact of the wedding.

An example of a review on WeddingWire.com, this one from Maryann and John;

“We couldn't be happier that Rev. Barbara Lodge performed our wedding ceremony for us. We have received many compliments on the beautiful and heartwarming ceremony. It was quite moving and very personalized. We attribute this to the time that Barbara took to learn more about us as a couple.

Rev. Lodge is a true professional. She provided guidance and clear direction to us throughout the wedding planning process. She gave us a tool kit which contained a CD with suggested readings, vows, songs, etc. Her command of runnning a wedding ceremony was evident during our rehearsal. The detailed and well-run rehearsal truly helped us to relax and enjoy our ceremony!

We highly recommend Rev. Lodge to any couple looking for a kind, caring and organized professional who delivers beautiful and memorable wedding ceremonies.”
