Testimonials celebrating Frances Barnhart, Interfaith Minister

Carrie and Landry

Reverend Frances took the time to get to know us and gave us a ceremony that fit perfectly. She is professional, personable, friendly and caring! My husband and I were incredibly pleased with the ceremony Reverend Frances delivered. We had many people ask us afterward for some of the quotations that she had found for us because they were so perfect. Looking back, I can't imagine anyone else being the one to bless our marriage for us.

Joe and Andrea

Andrea and I want to thank you greatly for serving as our wedding officient . We felt you prepared an incredibly thoughtful service that incorporated truly meaningful aspects of our life together. We also really appreciated your taking the time to plan the wedding elements with us before the ceremony. It was very refreshing to be able to tailor our ceremony to our own experiences and beliefs. We will definitely recommend your services to anyone looking for an officiant.

Cecilia and Harald

Frances created our beautiful and personal wedding ceremony in July, 2006. Unlike other officiants we talked to, she was interested in us and got to know us both as people and as a couple. Since we and our families are of several various faiths, we wanted a ceremony that was spiritual but not based in any one religious tradition. Frances brought a wonderfully sacred feeling to our mostly secular ceremony. Many of our guests commented on her calming presence and voice, and we would highly recommend her to any couple looking for a truly personal, meaningful wedding.

Elizabeth and Said

I am a Christian and Said is a Muslim. Rev. Frances performed a small wedding in my Mom’s home while Saids’ family gathered in Egypt at exactly that time. Later they listened to the tape. Before the wedding, Rev. Frances asked us many questions as she wanted to be sure that we had thought everything through. That discussion actually brought us closer together. We felt that she really understood us and was able to create a beautiful ceremony reflecting that.

Cheryl and Josh

As Jews we were a little reluctant to call on a minister but neither of us belong to a synagogue nor are we religious. We had heard about Rev. Frances and knew she honored all cultures and also that she did outdoor weddings. Josh and I love the mountains and all of nature. Rev. Frances helped us design a wedding that was perfect for us. She knew enough about Jewish traditions and wove our passion for nature into the ceremony making it a very special experience. It was as though she had known us all of our lives and we will always remember the feeling of that day. Many friends and family commented on the beauty of the ceremony.
