Barbara refines each ceremony until it is profoundly heart-opening, reflects your deepest love, and is perfect. One of her brides stated, “We were in loving and capable hands. Barbara created a ceremony that was calm, spiritual, genuine, and full of love which was our exact vision for how we wanted it to be. Our friends and family could not stop talking about our touching and thoughtful ceremony.”
