My husband and I are so happy that we found Donna and hired her to officiate our wedding! She was such a pleasure to work with throughout the whole planning process. When we started, we had very little sense of what to put in our non-denominational ceremony; all we knew was that we wanted it to be personal, romantic, and joyous. We had the additional challenge of planning the wedding from overseas. While we weren't able to meet with her in person, she was so easy to work with over Skype and email. She crafted a beautiful ceremony that truly represented our story, our love, and our values. Our guests were SO impressed (one asked for a copy of the ceremony, while others told us it was the first time they actually enjoyed the ceremony part of a wedding). If you're still looking for a celebrant, pick Donna!

Hello! And congratulations on your upcoming celebration! My name is Donna Forsythe and I am a Humanist Celebrant. Celebrants are trained in the art of creating ceremony.
I have spent most of my working career as a teacher, librarian and technology educator. My years as a teacher and particularly a librarian/storyteller have given me a great foundation for being a Celebrant. My charge is to tell YOUR story! Your ceremony is a unique tale of your love and commitment to each other, and we will work together to make your wedding a reflection of you and your relationship. The backstory: In May of 2014, I was asked to officiate a wedding for two men. Marriage Equality had just passed in PA, and after being together for decades, they were looking forward to finally having the right to be legally married. It was a joy and an honor to unite them as life partners. It was a wonderful sight to see two people who had loved each other for so long, be able to officially become a married couple. This experience was life changing for me. I went through the Humanist Society to be officially endorsed as a Humanist Celebrant and have never looked back! As a Humanist Celebrant, I am legally qualified to perform weddings in all 50 states. |
Some of my Happy Couples!
