Fulfilling Your Dreams
Wedding Ceremonies
The Reverend Leslie Reynolds-Benns, PhD

We all have had dreams about the perfect wedding. Some we have discarded. Some were simply childhood fantasies.  Some we have simply forgotten. But there are other options that we didn't even know were possible.

We'll meet together to plan your perfect ceremony -- to look at what options are available to make this day the day of your dreams.

If you come from different religious backgrounds or none and want a ceremony that reflects that fact.  Or, you acknowledge God but don’t participate in a particular religion.  Or, on the other hand, you may want the ceremony to reflect your deep commitment to God as well as your partner.

weddings_utahIf you want your perfect ceremony to reflect the lightness and joy that are present in you both. If you want it to be very personal with tidbits, even humorous ones, about each of you. If you want to speak personally about your relationship and how it grew. If you want to write your own vows. If you want the ceremony to include the lighting of a unity candle or a sand ceremony. If you want readings and if so of what kind and by whom.

We will put together the wedding ceremony that will fulfill your dreams.

Comments from Couples
leslie_weddingThank you so much for the beautiful ceremony you performed for our wedding. We really appreciate the time you took to get to know us and how you reflected our individual personalities, love and commitment for each other in our wedding ceremony. We had many positive comments from family and friends on how your words touched them. Thank you for helping make our special day something we will always remember.

Leslie, the ceremony was our favorite part of the whole "thing," and several guests told us they thought you did the best, the most beautiful and heartfelt ceremony they had ever seen. One of the guests remarked that our ceremony, "was very refreshing in that it was so heartfelt and so specific to [us]."

I felt so comfortable the first time we met with Leslie regarding our wedding ceremony. She listened thoughtfully to us and asked wonderful questions that led us to delve deeper into the type of ceremony we wanted and made creative suggestions to insure that we had the ceremony that best fit our desires and intentions. A year later, I still have guests tell me it was the most heart-felt ceremony they had ever attended. It was a blessed experience and I so appreciate Leslie's role in our marriage.
