From the reviews
Working with Dan was an amazing experience. It doesn't matter if you're getting married or eloping, understanding the ins-and-outs of what is required to make the ceremony happen and legal filing is stressful. Dan helped us through the entire process.
We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience at Embracing Ceremony. From the moment we arrived, we were completely blown away by the beauty of the venue.
Dan provided the officiant services for our Christmas Eve wedding. He was great to work with, extremely flexible and thoughtful in his preparation of the ceremony script, and was able to tailor it perfectly to our personalities and relationship.
Dan was amazing from the very beginning but he saved the day when our New Years Day wedding was ruined by a major snowstorm. I was snowed into my cabin (even with 4 wheel drive) with no wifi and no cell service. Thankfully, one person in our party had a few bars and we were able to contact Dan.
Getting married at Embracing Ceremony: Inspired Wedding Celebrants & Intimate Garden Venue
Embracing Ceremony: Inspired Wedding Celebrants & Intimate Garden Venue comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
