The most honest testimonies often come from those who work in the wedding business themselves. These are professionals who for years have worked alongside other vendors in an effort to create the perfect wedding day for the couple. They have seen hundreds of weddings and can quickly spot the outstanding from the mediocre. Here are a few who were kind enough to share their thoughts.

Working with Faith is always a pleasure. She makes the wedding ceremony process a breeze with her relaxed manner and professionalism. I will continue to recommend her to all of our bridal couples here at The Brookside Club."

Faith is the only minister I know of who brings her own portable microphone system
so everyone can hear the wedding ceremony. I witness many weddings each year, and have seen each of the major players, and she is by far the best! It's easy to see that she takes what she does very seriously.

I know that every couple who chooses her to preside over their ceremony is in the greatest of hands.
She’s so personable. She’s also extremely skilled at helping to settle down nervous couples so they can enjoy saying their vows without being scared. That's a real gift!

Being a wedding planner on Cape Cod, I have had the opportunity to work with SO many ceremony officiates from Reverend's to Priests, from Rabbi's to Justices of the Peace... And with many of those ceremonies I coordinate, as soon as I get my bride down the aisle, I am racing off to set up the cocktail hour, alphabetize place cards, etc.... but when Faith is performing the marriage ceremony, I always stop, watch and listen, knowing it's a moment for me to connect with my own heart and share an experience that is - and will always be - unique to those present. I am always delighted to hear the bride & groom's love story as often times we were so busy working together to make their wedding day dreams come true, I don't even know how their relationship began... The intimacy Faith brings to her weddings is palpable. You feel like you are witnessing a miracle and she makes me wholeheartedly believe in true & lasting love all over again, every time.

I'm always pleased to see Faith when I arrive to play for a wedding. I'm immediately at ease and know it will be a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony. Every ceremony is unique, and Faith gives each couple the utmost attention when personalizing their ceremony. With a sweet, loving voice and a compassionate heart, she is perfect for any wedding."

Faith’s ability to capture the essence of a wedding couple, and her attention to the details of their lives comes through seamlessly in her ceremonies. You come away from the service with the thought that she has known the couple all their lives.

I am honored to write a testimonial for such a passionate and gifted minister. I have been blessed to have a unique relationship with Faith Lavender. My first experience with her was in a professional capacity. I have been a professional wedding photographer for over 10 years. Secondly, I am a recent bride and we had Faith conduct our ceremony.

As a wedding photographer, I have attended countless ceremonies, and my all time favorites are always the ones that Faith oversees. As a newlywed, my husband and I know first hand how meaningful and heart felt her services are. Our guests are still commenting on the wonderful wedding ceremony she performed.

From the beginning, we knew we were in good hands. Faith listened intently to our hearts’ desires and executed everything we wished for elegantly. Faith has a way of respectfully celebrating all of the diversities and the beliefs of your guests. She speaks life and hope into you through her simple message of love. The way she incorporates the stories of your life and relationship so movingly into her sermon speaks volumes to her talent and giftedness as a Reverend.

Faith is one of precious few who walks in unquestionable character and her integrity shines through in her ministries. She is a genuine and caring person. Her wedding style will create life long memories for any bride and groom and for those lucky enough to be in attendance.

For anyone considering Faith’s wedding services; your wedding day would be blessed to have Faith’s kind, gentle heart and spirit leading the ceremony.

Reverend Faith Lavender sets the standard of wedding ceremonies exceptionally high. She is the best!

Gracefully yours,
