    Iris Newton was so wonderful!!

    We had a pretty short notice ceremony due to our personal situation, and yet Iris was very helpful and accommodating. We had a beautiful personal bilingual (English and Spanish) ceremony at a beautiful park, and it was absolutely amazing. I knew from the moment I came across Iris’s profile here and spoke with her that she would be perfect for me and my (now 😁) wife! I’m so thankful and appreciative for her help!

    She is great!

    It was a pleasure to work with Iris , she was very warm and professional and managed to keep the ceremony within our timeline as well as performing a bilingual ceremony so my Spanish speaking family could feel part of the wedding. I highly recommend her! It was great to work with her.

    Wedding Minister 1's reply:

    Sol, thanks so much for your kind words. It was my pleasure working with you. Your venue was beautiful and your family very sweet. Congratulations again.

    Professional and compassionate

    Very empathetic to our situation and time restraints. Showed up early and was very professional. Brought a microphone just in case and she didn’t even need it as she knew how to project her voice beautifully so everyone could hear. All in all, I would recommend her to any future couples needing an officiant. Thanks again for your help

    Couldn't be happier

    Professional, Responsive, Friendly and Flexible - qualities that you want and appreciate, and Iris meet our needs and guided us through the process. She provided multiple scripts to choose from and allowed us to customize our wedding and change the wording. The ceremony was custom made for us. We couldn't have been happier. She was early and when she got out of her car, she radiated warmth and trust. We knew we were in good hands. We had our wedding at Landsford Canal State Park and had already picked out the site for the ceremony. Everything went according to plan - and this was not a rehearsed wedding. We would definitely recommend her. Thanks Iris. You helped to make this such as special occasion.

    Mark, thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure working with you. Ilene is so sweet and you both are a beautiful couple. Congratulations again.

    Sweet and simple!

    Sweet and simple is exactly what we were looking for and Iris made that happen! She was very kind and wonderful to work with. We booked super last minute and she was happily able to squeeze us in. I highly recommend!

    Wedding Minister 1's reply:

    It was pleasure meeting you all. Your kids are adorable and it was fun talking to her in Spanish. Thanks for letting me be part of your special day. Hope that your future cruise will be real fun.

    Iris was amazing!

    My partner and I had a backyard wedding on 4/22 and Iris was the officiant! We met with Iris several weeks in advance to select our ceremony and discuss that we wanted a nonreligious ceremony. Over time Iris worked with us to customize the ceremony script to perfection. We had a bilingual wedding and all of our guests loved it. Iris was organized, punctual, and always responsive!! Id recommend working with her to anyone. Iris thank you so much for everything!

    Beautifully written, overall great experience!

    Mrs. Iris created a beautiful bilingual ceremony for me and my husband. She was so accommodating to us up to the very last day and I can’t describe how appreciative I am of her work. Even in the pouring rain and cold on that day, she handled everything perfectly and everyone was brought to tears by the beautifully written ceremony!

    Wedding Minister 1's reply:

    Oh Mallory it was cold, but your family was so warm to me. I enjoyed being part of your special day. I hope that Sunday was a perfect day for all of you. Thanks again for choosing me. Have a blessed week.

    Excellent Officiant and professionalism!

    Iris Newton was great at preparing for our small ceremony at our home. She was also a close neighbor in our area and made it super convenient. Iris is very detailed-oriented by taking the time to learn our names since it's in Vietnamese and wasn't easy to pronounce. The whole experience was easy and fun. Thank you, Iris!

    Wedding Minister 1's reply:

    Danny thanks so much, it was fun. I was happy that you allowed me into your home and meeting your family was great. Many blessings and good luck.

    Iris helped us pull off the perfect elopement

    Iris was great to coordinate with ahead of our wedding about vows and structure, so we knew exactly what to expect the day of our event, even without a rehearsal. Everyone in our small group of attendees commented on Iris's professionalism and how warm she was, like she'd known us for ages. Our tiny little ceremony was absolutely perfect and she helped us make it that way.

    Wedding Minister 1's reply:

    Amanda, thanks so much for your review. It was a pleasure doing your ceremony and. I enjoyed meeting your family as well. Hope everything is going well for you and “Mark”… just kidding, Ed. That part was funny. Thanks again.

    Couldn’t Have Asked For A Better Officiant!

    My husband and I were married by Iris on 10/22/22. I was able to meet her half an hour before my ceremony and thank goodness I did. She is so sweet and kind and was just the calm, relaxed energy I needed on my hectic wedding day. My husband and I are not super religious (but our families are), so when looking for officiants, we knew wanted someone who could bring a modern feel without steering too far from tradition, but also keep just a little bit of Jesus in there too. Iris did just that! She started by sending us various ceremony scripts to choose what we liked best. I ended up combining two that I loved and Iris tweaked them to have more of a flow. We wrote and read our own vows, but she offered samples if we were to need them! The ceremony went beautifully, and Iris was more than accommodating throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a wedding minister!!! We will be forever grateful for her! :)

    Wedding Minister 1's reply:

    Alena, you are so sweet, thanks for your kind comments. It was so easy to work with you. Your family was very welcoming and your venue was beautiful. Thanks for allowing me to be part of your special day. Whenever you get your pictures back, please share few with me. Thanks.

    So great, guests thought we’d known her for years!

    Linda was so kind and made a point to get to know us before our big day so that she could custom make our wedding script to fit us. My husband and I are both very sarcastic people, so Linda made a point to include some jokes and sarcasm just for us! We got many compliments about how wonderful she was. People were so surprised she wasn’t someone who had known us for years, but rather someone who we found on a wedding website and had shared just a few phone calls and emails with. She really did an exceptional job of making us feel heard, and delivering a very custom, very heartfelt wedding ceremony. We also really appreciated that she handled the part of delivering our marriage license to the register of deeds after our big day for us!

    Iris was amazing!

    Our wedding was on 5/14/22, and Iris made every moment of it perfect! She was incredibly responsive and SO helpful! She was open to answering any questions we had and shared her own thoughts and ideas, which we loved. My husband and most of his family are from Guatemala, so incorporating Spanish into our ceremony was very important to us. Iris did this in such a beautiful, touching way! She put the ceremony together perfectly! I never had a single worry while working with her. It was truly and pleasure and we HIGHLY recommend her for anyone looking for an amazing officiant!

    Linda was amazing. We were able to speak with her prior to booking and she completely understood our personalities. Leading up to the big day, she provided us with copies of ceremonies and kept us on track. She was supportive and incredibly flexible. During the rehearsal and ceremony, she was patient, professional, kind and did everything possible to make our day special. She helped make our day all the more special and memorable.

    Linda officiated our wedding and she was so wonderful! She made our guests laugh and cry with her readings. She is so flexible and will give you exactly the ceremony you want! We wanted a couple non-traditional things done during the ceremony and she created something specifically for us. We had a slight mishap with the wind during our ceremony and she played it off so well and just kept moving on. She was very helpful during the rehearsal as well!
