Absolutely incredible
From our first meeting with Victoria, my fiancé and I knew our wedding ceremony was going to be something truly unique. A few months later we experienced the most beautiful, unique and memorable day we could have every dreamed of. Victoria created a ceremony so amazingly personal incorporating ever aspect of our lives, feelings, values and beliefs. She was able to tell the story of our love, how we met and what brought us together in a way that created a magical experience not only for us but all of our friends and family as well. During the reception a couple actually told us that our ceremony made them want to work to have a better marriage. I can’t think of a higher complement.
Victoria was so wonderfully easy to work with and always available to answer any questions or share ideas. She helped to make our day truly incredible and something we will cherish and remember forever. Victoria clearly has a gift and we are so grateful to have been able to share it with her on our most special day.
We will be staying in touch with Victoria and look forward to renewing our vows with her in the future.

People attended our wedding and watched our wedding video all said, "It was very touching. The minister was great! Where did you find her?" I guess we were very lucky. This is how we found Victoria - we filled out an online form to find an officiant, and Victoria responded. She was very easy to work with. She gave us lots of advises and gave us sample vows for us to come up with our own. We didn't have to do anything else besides telling her our love stories. She is absolutely amazing. She did ALL the rest. She accommodated our situations, incorporated our love story in the wedding and made it very special and unforgettable.

Victoria is an outstanding wedding officiAnt who made our wedding day special beyond belief!! She not only painstakingly customized each and every reading for our ceremony, she went over and beyond accommodating every detail imaginable. (Even when we forgot some very important details ourselves!) Nothing seemed to phase her and she easily managed the greatest of obstacles! We still are receiving complements about her and not only consider her a rare find, but now cherish her as a very dear friend and advisor. She is so special! Our family and friends couldn't wait to get to know her better after the ceremony, since she is so kind,supportive, and welcoming. You will feel as if you have found a long time friend with so much interest in your love story. She will capture your unique love story, like no other.
Anyone who is lucky enough to have Victoria at their wedding will understand why she is a favorite to so
many! Lisa & Joe

When you have to plan a wedding in New York and you live in California, the task could appear to be overwhelming. Unless one is lucky enough to be guide to just the right person, whom can make all the dfference in the world. I am referring to Vicoria O' Milne. There are not enough words to express the gratitude my partner and I feel for having Victoria officiate our wedding. She went way beyond the call of duty to ensure that we had a tailor fit wedding to suit our every need. She guided us through the whole process and reassurred us every step of the way. She brought love and laughter and a mutual respect that was not only felt between my partner and I but reached out to each and every guest attending our wedding. She is so amazing in every way and a perfectionist in making your day exactly what that implies "your day'! She listens and gets to know you on a personable level and connects with you in a way that truly makes a difference in how your ceremony will flow. Not only does she unite couples but entire gatherings together in a way that brings such tranquil harmony. For that moment, that day, I felt all that encompassed came full circle. Thank-you Victoria for being you and really getting us. -Melissa & Joan

Victoria designed a ceremony that was eerything we had wanted. We wanted a ceremony that was not extremely religious but one of personal meaning, because it was a small wedding, eeryone that attended had brought something special tou our lives and were there because of it. We wanted our guests to feel as special as we did on our day. Victoria made that happen for us in her special way. My husband is a man of few words and has difficulty exppressing himself and she made him feel comfortable and worked with him to make his voice heard in his own way. I wish I could marry him all over again just to experience this beautiful day...maybe our 10 year anniversary and Victoria will be there!!

Great officiant. Multiple guests made comments on how much they enjoyed her ceremony. She was very easy to work with and we enjoyed having her be a part of our day. She incorporated our love story into our vows and personalized the ceremony.

Victoria was a wonderful choice! We will certainly recommend her services to everyone getting married in the future! She conducted our ceremony in a way that made us feel very special ... like old friends! Her personalization and familiarity with the options we chose went great. A reading from Amma, the imaginative use/meaning of a special ribbon, and her enthusiasm ... we couldn't have asked for more.

From the minute we first met Victoria we felt comfortable with her. She is warm and easy going. I had no idea how to put together a ceremony or even exactly what I wanted, she asked us to tell her our Love story and created the PERFECT ceremony based on everything that was important to us. She calmed my nerves and talked me through all of those little questions that had me uneasy. She was very responsive and had great ideas. She is a wonderful person and officiant.
Our Ceremony was like no other I have ever seen, it captured our personalities perfectly. I feel blessed to have met Victoria and I would recommend her to anyone.

Dear Victoria,
I am not sure how you were able to pull together all the elements of Kailey’s and Babak’s wedding ceremony on May 22, 2011, but you did! You not only thoughtfully and sensitively integrated the Christian and Muslim components, but you also incorporated Irish, Italian and Persian heritages in a beautifully seamless manner! The wedding ceremony just flowed. I know you were faced with the challenge of coordinating the ceremony with a Persian officiant who did not speak English as well as translator; somehow you merged all parts of the ceremony with ease. This is testament to your flexibility, your deep respect for all religions and cultures and your compassionate nature. Thank you for making our daughter’s wedding ceremony absolutely perfect!

My husband and I absolutely loved working with Victoria! Not only did she provide a wonderful service on the day of the wedding, but also made us feel comfortable throughout the process. From our very first meeting, we were confident she would create a unique and meaningful wedding ceremony for us. And she did not disappoint! Our family and friends (some of which are strict Catholics) thought the ceremony was beautiful, and especially enjoyed the personalization she added to it. I highly recommend Victoria to anyone looking for a custom wedding ceremony.

We had a wonderful time working with Victoria and Chuck!! Everyone at our wedding commented on what a beautiful ceremony it was and how it really showed the values we have and the love for our family and friends! The best comment came from my mother right after the ceremony...."I absolutely loved your ceremony. It was amazing and very special to Dad and I." Working with Victoria has been an absolute pleasure for Dan and I. She was very flexible with the travel to meet and plan our ceremony. She was very good at listening to our story and using what is important to us to create such a beautiful ceremony that we both loved!! And a thank you to Chuck as well to performing it:)

Victoria was amazing. In a relatively short amount of time, she was able to meet us and learn about our relationship. The ceremony she created out of our conversations with her was beautiful, personal and moving.

Our wedding ceremony was so touching and beautiful, there wasnt a dry eye in the place! Victoria captured so many special moments and created something we will never forget.

Victoria designed the perfect ceremony for my husband and I. She listened to our needs/wants/desires, love story, backgrounds, lifestyles, hopes for the future, and creatively worked it all into our ceremony. We are rather non-traditional, and Victoria was very open to our different style. She's very easy to talk to and to work with. With all the other stuff to worry about when planning a wedding, we never had to worry whether or not our ceremony would go off well. We trusted Victoria and she delivered - in a big way!! Our ceremony was personalized and very enjoyable. Family and friends commented on how the ceremony was so unique to us and how much they enjoyed it. There were also sweet, romantic surprises awaiting my husband and I after the reception. Working with Victoria was truly wonderful and made our wedding day the best day of our lives - thus far!! We would highly recommend her!!

Victoria did a wonderful job with our ceremony. We were expecting it to be wonderful, but she totally exceeded our expectations and the ceremony is something that me and my wife will never forget. She did a great job balancing all of our different religious backgrounds (we come from many multi religious families). She integrated many parts of our life stories into the ceremony. She was open to our suggestions while also making some of her own suggestions. We would strongly recommend her services to anyone.
