Event Planning
"Before I started working with Barb at Ceremonies and Events of the Finger Lakes, I was planning a wedding for 150 guests by myself. The details were overwhelming and I was losing sleep worrying about forgetting something important. Once Barb and I met, she started organizing everything into timetables, lists and spreadsheets. Tasks began to fall into place neatly and I was able to relax. I feel so relieved that Barb is so thoughtful and creative in helping me get all my ducks in a row before The Big Day."

"I wanted to drop you a note to let you know how much we appreciated your efforts in making Bob's 60th a wonderful celebration! I couldn't have done it all without your help. From the decorations, the wonderful band and every small detail, you didn't miss a beat with knowing just what the party needed. I asked many people what they thought and I received comments of " Best Band Ever" and "Great Time." Again, thank-you so much!"

"We owe many, many thanks to Barbara for creating the perfect ceremony.
When the time comes for the next wedding in our family, Barbara will definitely be the first person we ask to organize and officiate it.
Alla, Mother of the Bride
"We could not have been more pleased with Barbara’s officiating. She helped us incorporate
some lovely and meaningful traditions of a Jewish wedding into our secular service that pleased
both of us, as well as my wife’s Jewish family. We’ve recommended her to friends looking to
have a non-religious service and will continue to do so."
Therese and John
"Barbara discussed with us our thoughts about the ceremony, what traditions we wished to include and the degree to which we wanted to incorporate religion. She created a beautiful, eloquent ceremony that exceeded our expectations and helped create a day we will remember fondly for the rest of our lives. We are very pleased with our decision to include Barbara in our wedding and highly recommend her. "
Jason and Denise
"Barbara was absolutely essential in bringing together all the different elements
of our ceremony into one beautiful and unique moment with friends and family.
From her initial interview with us to explore our dreams for our special day, to our
rehearsal and ceremony, to creating a special keepsake program for us, Barbara brought
style and sensitivity in making our wedding truly meaningful, memorable, and fun!"
Carol and Gordon
"We both love what you have written….Thomas says he didn't realize this is what he wanted until he saw it. I can tell you that you made quite a first impression on him and he continues to think very highly of you. That's not something that happens often with him. And I am personally overjoyed and in awe of what you've done. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts." Zoe and Thomas
