I found Celene on the Wedy app and it will forever be the greatest decision I made! Celene was very kind and professional and made it a point to get to know both my fiancé and I and what made our relationship special. I planned my wedding myself, so there were definitely moments where things changed last minute and Celene was very flexible and made magic happen even moments before our ceremony! Both my fiancé and I were incredibly impressed with our final script and she exactly nailed what we had envisioned. My family made comments throughout the entire day of what a lovely ceremony we had and it wouldn’t have been possible without her. We cannot thank her enough! HIGHLY RECOMMEND for a beautiful wedding experience 💖
We hired Celene to officiate our intimate micro wedding in Joshua Tree this past weekend. It was for us and both of our parents, all six of us felt that she was the perfect choice! We had a ceremony that felt entirely us, it highlighted the depth of our relationship, and will be something that fills us with love when we think of it. Read on, but please contact her if you are getting married! Alternative, traditional, and everything in between she is divine at what she does and caters to the couple! Cannot recommend or thank her enough!! She created a powerful atmosphere, crafted a touching ceremony, and will remain a special honorary family member to us in our hearts! The experience working with her felt right from the jump, her website’s thoughtful language stood out to me immediately to connect with her. Once we FaceTimed my partner and I knew (without even saying it out loud!) she was right for us. Her warm presence, clear communication, and openness for feedback was refreshingly inviting. On our call she offered unique advice and proposed situations we had not heard from anyone else. It was easy to connect with Celene’s authenticity and feel safe with her in this introduction and continual process — we both shared personal stories naturally. She made it clear her focus was to support us in crafting our ideal day. She delivered!!! We can’t say enough how perfect the ceremony felt for us and our parents couldn’t stop raving either! Celene shared all of her documents and samples willingly before we had committed to her which helped us see the beautiful quality of her writing. Once we agreed to move forward, her custom intake questionnaire helped settle us in to the process—it was wide ranging and very fun to review our love! She kept us ahead on what we needed to complete and did not ever overwhelm. Our wedding was on New Year’s Day and Celene was fast, easy, and kind enough to chat during the holidays with ease. She was very open to feedback and stressed that she wanted corrections to the ceremony drafts, to which she quickly edited and resent until we felt it was right! I’m particular and picky about things, as well as concerned that I’m being overbearing—Celene made this process very comfortable! We know that the wedding process spans a lifetime of expectations, can be totally fun, and is often incredibly stressful. Having Celene with us created ease for planning and I couldn’t have expected the fondness I feel for her. It’s easy to feel that she cares for our relationship and we are forever grateful! Thank you Celene for being an exponential force for creating a day of perfect love we will remember forever!!!
Celene is an absolute treasure! She is a wonderful, warm and caring person who really made us feel at ease. She kept in touch and guided us through the process, from the initial remote meeting to the the shaping of the ceremony all the way to the final paperwork. Honestly we feel blessed to have had her as the officiant at our elopement, and we couldn’t imagine anyone else we’d rather have for our special day.
Joshua Tree wedding officiant Celene from Wedding in the Desert was amazing and sooo helpful when we were planning our micro wedding in Joshua Tree. We have never been to the park before but she made us feel at ease with all her knowledge of the park and where we should have the ceremony. Her Ceremony was beautiful and her at ease personality made us feel very comfortable like a friend was performing the ceremony for us. We are very thankful to have found her and she made our day amazing!
I talked with Celene to get wedding advice, and she wasn’t hesitant to be helpful and available to me! Very professional, caring, and kind. Would absolutely recommend her!

She put such beautiful words together that captured the epic scenery where we had our ceremony! You won't be disappointed if you go with Celene! Thank you so much for making our wedding day magical!
Celene was wonderful! She made everything feel unique and special to my husband and my love. She perfectly curated a ceremony that was 100% us. Celene was very responsive to our many questions via email and video chat, and she helped us through the paperwork process, since we were coming from out of state. Our guests complimented Celene and the ceremony, which made almost everyone cry. We would highly recommend Celene to any couple who wants their wedding ceremony to be curated for them.
We LOVE Celene! We work together often on big, small and elopement weddings. She provides a soft and gentle energy at every ceremony. She crafts a customized vow ceremony for each client with love and intention.
