We are so grateful to the many couples that have taken the time to write a review for us so that you can read what it was honestly like to work with us at Koru Ceremony. Click on these links to Wedding Wire and The Knot with reviews from previous couples we have married.
Typically, the couples we work with care about the ceremony. Although it may only be 20-30 minutes out of the entire day, they recognize that it is the heart of the wedding day and see it also an opportunity to begin their marriage in a meaningful and joy-filled way. They want to start this new life together surround by the people that matter the most to them, sharing the excitement of their love in a personal and genuine way.
