Congratulations on your engagement and welcome to Ceremonies from the Heart! We have been officiating wedding ceremonies for over 35 years in many different locations including Pennsylvania, California., Florida, New York and New Jersey. Our goal is to create personalized ceremonies for each and every couple we marry and to make your wedding day the special day it is meant to be. We are willing to travel to your location.

At Blissful Vows, I create heartfelt, personalized ceremonies that reflect your unique love story. Whether you're planning a rustic barn wedding or a romantic garden “I do,” I bring warmth, professionalism, and a touch of magic to every moment. I truly love what I do and feel honored to help couples make their wedding day as perfect and meaningful as it can be. In addition to weddings, I also offer funeral and baby naming ceremonies—each crafted with care, compassion, and attention to detail. Let me help you create a day full of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

I believe that a wedding ceremony should be more than just words. It should feel like home. A moment so personal and full of love that it stays with you forever. That’s what I create for every couple I marry. I’m not just an officiant - I’m your friend, your guide, and your biggest cheerleader. I’ll be there to steady your nerves, share a laugh, and remind you to soak it all in. Because your love story is one-of-a-kind, and your ceremony should be too.

Storied Celebrations is a team of three Professional Wedding Officiants, ready to give you an amazing wedding ceremony your guests will be talking about for years to come! Our biggest compliment is, "We saw you at our friend's wedding and we want you at ours!" We provide elopements, wedding ceremonies, commitment ceremonies, vow renewals, and legal license signings all over the Lehigh Valley, Poconos, NEPA, Bucks, Philly, NY, and NJ. We believe love is love and it doesn't matter if you're having a one minute wedding or a large wedding in front of 250 people, our philosophy is making sure your wedding is fun and stress free.

Rabbi Rayzel Raphael specializes in meaningful and joyous Jewish, interfaith, multicultural, same sex, and cross denominational weddings, as well as anniversary ceremonies and any other celebration of love.

If you want a secular but meaningful ceremony; if you’re spiritual but not religious; if the traditional vows don’t resonate; or if you’d like to incorporate nature-based aspects to your day, I would love to create your wedding ceremony. I am an ordained animist minister specializing in deeply personal and sacred weddings and vow renewals for couples of all orientations. As an officiant/celebrant, I serve the Hudson Valley and Tri-state areas, as well as NYC, New Jersey, western Massachusetts, and northern Pennsylvania. Other locations are possible– let’s talk!
