What Clients Say

“Getting married during the covid-19 pandemic had its own set of wedding stresses and obstacles. We had to completely change our plans, cut our guest list by 3/4 but we were determined to still have it be our special day and Barbara was monumental in making that happen. Being that we were really restricted in any sort of reception, the ceremony was the main focus. Initially we met with Barbara in person but due to the circumstances we had to continue over zoom calls. Somehow some way, Barbara was able to use her personal talents and skills to genuinely get to know us which allowed her to lead an absolutely gorgeous ceremony. The perfect combination of religion, spirituality and just pure love for one another. We couldn’t be more grateful for her because when we look back on this special day in our lives we will vividly remember that ceremony and how lucky we are to have had such a sincere and powerful experience. In past weddings I’ve been to, the ceremony seemed to be more of a formality but in our case it was a highlight. People laughed, they cried, and most importantly the whole audience along with our families were engaged the entire time. It was truly a wonderful day and we are so thankful.”

Justin and Carissa

“We recently worked with Barbara to renew our vows and I only wish we had known her when we first got married. Our vow renewal is something we will remember forever.”

“We feel so lucky to have had Barbara as both an officiant of our wedding and a guide along the way. Barbara made sure to listen to our wants and needs to create a ceremony that was perfect for us. Our family and friends all raved about how personal and powerful the ceremony was. Thank you, Barbara!”

Thank you for helping to make our ceremony so magical. You were the grounding force & the guiding light that lead us down the aisle, into the ceremony. You made us feel calm & at the same time focused as we participated in the meaningful rituals & prayers that led up to the wedding vows. Thank you for taking such good care of us & our entire family. So grateful to have you in our lives.”

Lindsay & Alex

“I met Barbara Biziou over 20 years ago and we formed an instant friendship that keeps deepening over the years. I attended many of her rituals; and her Vision Weekend Workshops held annually each January is always life-enhancing. In 2015 she married David and I and that was the best day of my life so far. The service she created for us was so special.”
