It was moving, inspirational, creative and brought us even closer together. Literally dozens of guests commented on how wonderful the ceremony was and we could not agree more.”

“I am not a man of ceremony, nor one to invest time in what many would find important as traditions. In my senior years of life I married for the first time a few weeks ago in a Same-Sex Relationship. My interests was our bond and not a ceremony. My first consideration for the marriage process was a license offered in PA, called a Self Uniting License ( nicknamed Quaker Marriage) but friends pushed that we should have the marriage officiated. We found Barbara Schwark on My Happy Day website. As the Officiant, what she brought to our ceremony, made it memorable beyond any expectation. She took the time to meet and formed a genuine sense of us as individuals and as a couple. She brought out those characteristics in the ceremony which made those moment memorable. She turned what I was viewing as a necessary legal process into a feeling experience we will always remember.”

“Henry Hallett was our Officiant. He was wonderful to work with. He was flexible with times and meeting places. He offered great suggestions regarding our ceremony and he created a warm environment for us and our guests with his kind and heartfelt presence. I couldn’t have asked for a nicer and more experienced and insightful Officiant.”

“I cannot speak highly enough of Barbara and My Happy Day! Barbara married my husband and I on a beautiful Saturday at the Greendance Winery in an outdoor, natural amphitheater. She truly captured both of our unique and polar personalities and religions and she united us two in a romantic, flowing, and peaceful ceremony.Rather than pour sands together or light a candle, we chose to paint a picture together. Although new to Barbara, she immediately embraced the idea and wrote a beautiful piece as we painted our canvas! After we had finished and walked back to the center, a gust of wind blew our paining over, smearing it in the grass. Everyone gasped in horror, but Barbara quickly jested that “that’s life!” and everyone laughed and smiled!She was always flexible and offered many suggestions and advice. She always responded quickly and precisely, answering all of our questions. We met a couple times in advance to prepare. She then conducted an efficient rehearsal at the winery and joined us for our rehearsal dinner!Above and beyond all, she made us feel so comfortable, as if we had known her for years. Her professionalism and casual, comforting demeanor eased my nerves every time I spoke with her; as a stressed-out bride, I cannot thank her enough for that!!”
