Serenity Ceremonies by Reverend Orsella - Bridgeport, Connecticut

Rev. Orsella is an AMAZING wedding officiant. My husband and I are truly blessed that she was a part of our big day. Rev. Orsella genuinely cares about the couple that she marries and makes the ceremony feel personalized to their story. By her leading with prayer during our first look, set the tone for a beautiful day. She made the atmosphere of our ceremony feel joyful, celebratory, and comfortable with her remarkable words. She also added humor, which we appreciated, as it elevated the togetherness in the room. All our wedding guests praised about her warm and authentic spirit. My husband and I loved how she educated our guests about the origin of jumping the broom, which made the moment even more special. In addition, she was such a helping hand by providing guidance and instructions with the wedding certificate process that it could not have been easier to follow. I would recommend Rev. Orsella to any engaged couple who is looking for a professional wedding officiant.

When my now husband and I were planning our wedding, one of our main concerns was who would officiate. We didn’t have a church home but we knew we wanted our ceremony to have God at the center. We were worried that an officiant would feel like a stranger.
Then our planner recommended Rev. Orsella. From the moment my husband and I met with her the first time we knew she would be the one. She was warm, friendly and excited for us, from the first meeting. She was easy to talk to even for my husband who’s not a big talker.
She helped us design a ceremony that felt like being married by a friend who knew us. We told her we wanted to do private vows and a prayer before the ceremony and she was all for it. She helped us design a ceremony we loved and some of the best moments of our day.
We also did premarital sessions with her and she included my stepdaughter since we were blending our family and gave us great tools to continue to do that.
This review is very overdue but Rev. Orsella is a gem and our day would not have been what it was without her!

We would choose to have Rev. O officiate our ceremony over and over again! From our first conversation with her almost a year prior to our wedding date, we knew that she was the one. She is kind, patient and above all truly wanted the best for us. Over the course of a year we completed pre-marital counseling with Rev. O which really helped us build on the foundation of our relationship. We do not attend church regularly and Rev. O understood exactly how to connect with us.

Not only is she amazing at her profession but she is a light that you cannot help but want to be close to. We felt it from our initial conversation and our guests echoed the same after our ceremony. We will certainly be keeping in contact with Rev. O. She is a part of our family now!

We are eternally grateful to have found Rev. Orsella to officiate our wedding. From the moment we reached out, it was simple and splendid working with her. Her business is run smoothly as far as communication, scheduling, and contracting. What set her apart is the warmth, wisdom, and steadiness her presence brings, both to the planning process and to our wedding day. Rev. O supports you as the couple however you need leading up to your wedding. Then, when she arrives on your wedding day, she brings that calming presence along with with her powerful, positive voice and you feel like a friend has arrived.

Rev. Orsella is an absolutely extraordinary officiant! From the moment we met her, we were enveloped in a sense of calmness, joy, and optimism. She exudes a warmth and confidence that immediately reassured us that everything would be perfect. During our meetings, Rev. Orsella took the time to truly understand us—our love story, our journey, and the unique bond we share. Her attentive listening, coupled with the thoughtful forms we completed, deepened her understanding of who we are as individuals and as a couple.

On our wedding day, Rev. Orsella was the steadying presence we needed. She led us in prayer, calmly guided us through the ceremony plans, and made us feel completely at ease. When the ceremony began, she took our breath away. With elegance and grace, she perfectly captured the essence of our relationship, weaving in a profound spiritual and religious connection to our proposal. This connection not only blew us away but also illuminated a special moment in our journey, making us feel that this very moment was destined to be. She then guided our guests in prayer to bless our union - it was beyond beautiful. We truly felt like we were stepping into a new walk of life.

Rev. Orsella was beyond amazing—she was nothing short of spectacular. Our family and our guests are still raving about her, deeply moved and inspired by her words. Many have expressed how much they loved her, praising her for her grace, elegance, and deep faith. We are endlessly grateful to her for making our day so incredibly special. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
