High Quality, customizable, beautiful Sermon!

I really lucked out with finding Shirley MacFarland!

She gave us a Beautiful, lovely sermon for our wedding! Our 2 year old Chihuahua was our ring bearer and she did a lovely job including him in our ceremony!

Her sermon was the perfect length, it really made a big impact for me and I didn’t know that it would!

She comes with great experience, her recommendations for our unity ceremony were a great help to find one that was special to us!

She helped us out so much at our rehearsal dinner getting our group organized so that on that big day, we were ready to go!

She also helped me out by coordinating with our DJ, so the day of, the ceremony went so very smoothly!

I planned our wedding on a small budget and I’m grateful I didn’t skimp on hiring Shirley! I now understand how big of a deal it is to have this part of your ceremony done the right way!

She’ll make you feel special and you won’t regret hiring her for your big day!

I’d highly recommend her!

Reverend Shirley led a very beautiful, personal and moving ceremony. She was so easy to work with and sought us out before the ceremony to give directions. Everything was very clear and ran smoothly. If you are looking for a personal, unique to you, ceremony, I highly recommend Divine Love Weddings.
