Rev. Arlene Goldman

My husband and I had a couple of intimate celebrations as part of our wedding: One with just the two of us at the top of a mountain in a secluded spot we decorated with flowers, and another one with our three children on a hilltop overlooking the ocean. Having been married before, it was important for us to make our wedding about us and our children, to be fully present and for our kids to participate and remember this special day.We are so blessed to have found Rev Arlene! She did a fantastic job both times. The ceremonies were intimate, soulful and unique. She really listened to what we wanted of our ceremonies and responded with the perfect words and pace. Rev Arlene did a wonderful job keeping the kids engaged, asking them questions and finding opportunities for them to participate. She also had great ideas for meaningful rituals we ended up incorporating into the ceremony.We feel truly blessed to have found an officiant so open to making the celebration our very own and someone so sweet and loving. Our kids talked about her for weeks! She was truly wonderful and we highly recommend her.

Arlene was great and very personable!

Rev. Arlene and Rev. Paul Goldman are both wonderful! We had a beautiful ceremony on Fort Lauderdale Beach thanks to them. As a wedding professional in Cincinnati, I never thought I would get married out of town away from all of the familiar vendors I work with. Rev. Arlene made it easy! We appreciated the ceremony she wrote for us as well as her constant communication. She put us at ease and answered all of our questions. Rev. Paul was the perfect officiant for us! Our wedding ceremony was better than we imagined. Rev. Arlene and Rev. Paul are both true professionals and very passionate about their work. We greatly appreciate all that they both did to make our wedding day (11.4.11) so meaningful. We highly recommend the Goldman's to be your wedding officiant.

Rev. Arlene performed my happily ever after ceremony and I've received many many compliments from my friends and family. Thank you so much for completing my wedding day!~Jennifer & Song

We absolutely loved her. We were looking for someone to mix both a religious and spiritual ceremony and she did just that . We loved that she even gave a our guests a little bit of history about us and even more importantly she had us share things with one another fo rthe first time. Everyone at our ceremony loved Reverend Arlen, she is a very peaceful person and gives you that sense of peace and tranquility the entire time.

Dear Rev. Arlene and Rev. Paul,Thank you both so much for the ceremony on our wedding day. Several guests commented how beautiful the ceremony was. It was the perfect day and I would be glad to past some photos. It was a nice surprise at the end to have the entire ceremony and what we wrote to each other given to us in the rolled up scroll paper. We will treasure it always. To anyone reading this, I recommend either of them without hesitation- they are the best of the best!Thanks again and best wishes in the future!Allison & Pablo

My husband and I are so happy with our decision to hire Reverend Arlene to officiate our unconventional wedding. Prior to the wedding date she had asked us for one adjective that describes what we were hoping for our wedding celebration. Our word was "soulful" and that is exactly what we got. She listened carefully to what we wanted and what was important to us and had many great suggestions. We also truly enjoyed our conversations with her, and have since hired her to perform a family blessing ceremony for the rest of our family. We highly recommend her!

Scott and I were so pleased with the beautiful ceremony that we planned together with you for our July 9th wedding. Our friends and family are still talking about how personal and intimate the ceremony was. Thank you. It was a pleasure to work with you from start to finish, and Scott and I are enjoying the start of our married life!

Choosing Rev. Arlene was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! She makes it easy to put together the ceremony of your dreams. She is professional and responds to your emails and/or calls quickly. She is on top of her game with all the details that you want in your ceremony. She makes it all about you and that is very important! We have received numerous compliments on how beautiful & romantic our ceremony was. This is all thanks to her. On top of all this she is the sweetest person you will ever meet!

Rev. Arlene and her husband Rev. Paul are absolutely wonderful. They were extremely professional and they made choosing the right ceremony a much easier process. Rev. Paul officiated for us and his experience and dignified manner was an essential part of a perfect day. Thank you both very much and God bless you.David and Renee Kim

Rev. Arlene was amazing!! She accomodated all of our requests on very short notice and went out of her way to make our vow renewal a wonderul experience. My wife has commented several times since our private beach ceremony with Rev. Arlene that our second wedding was much better than the first!!!!

We simply can't thank you enough for everything! You are a Dream Come True! We have received an abundance of compliments on you, the vows, our ceremony, and how personalized it was. We couldn't have been more blessed or pleased with the ceremony. You were PERFECT!!! You are amazing and made our wedding a fairytale come true! THANK YOU!!!!

The Goldmans were lovely and easy to work with. Reverend Arlene wrote our ceremony and Paul was our officiant. They provided us with questionnaires and reading samples that really helped us to personalize our ceremony. We were really happy with our ceremony and received many compliments on it, so thank you!

Rev. Arlene Goldman is the BEST officiant you can get! For all traditions and backgrounds she will make your ceremony yours. Her voice alone is soothing and the perfect tone for wedding cermonys. We had over 150 guests and they could not stop talking about how amazing and perfect our ceremony was. She will make sure that everything you want to be said is said and makes it sound like the most beautiful words ever written. We cannot thank her enough for making our special day complete!

Arlene gave us a large selection of vows and readings ton look through which we personalised for the service. This was great to have some guidance but also the freedom to add our own words.Our wedding ceremony was very personal and intimate, we couldn't have wanted more.

Rev's Paul & Arlene Goldman were great. I can't say enough good things. From the moment I spoke to Arlene (a week before my wedding) she was fantastic. She responded to all my emails almost immediately and answered all my questions. AND above all, she was able to accommadate our quick need for an officiant (one week)! I was so stressed out when I was extremely disappointed with the previous officiant that I had chosen. From the moment I spoke to her on the phone, I was put at complete ease! Rev Paul Goldman, her husband, was our wedding officiant and we were extremely happy with everything. Rev Paul arrived early the day of and I loved that he used an ipad to read from during our ceremony :) The ceremony that Arlene had written for us was beautiful and perfect in every way. She was able to include our parents and our deceased family members into our ceremony - just as we had wanted. Thank you Arlene & Paul for all your help! I highly recommend both of you to anyone planning their wedding :)

Rev. Arlene translate my dreamed wedding in to a reality. The ceremony was so touching and inspiring that our guests were impressed. We felt very comfortable and enjoyed working with her throughout the process. Our ceremony was so romantic that we feel very blessed to have found her.Elvita and Alex

Rev. Arlene was simply amazing! It has been more than a month since we got married and people are still talking about how much they loved our ceremony. Rev. Arlene took the time to meet with us beforehand and get to know us personally. The interfaith ceremony was personal and heartfelt. It had several people in tears. It wasn't just a run of the mill ceremony, it was OUR ceremony. Her communication was excellent and she kept everything so well organized. If you want a personal ceremony, you can't do better than Rev. Arlene!

Rev. Arlene was amazing! The way that she incorporates your answers, to the questionaire, into the ceremony, makes it so much more personal. Rev. Arlene's calming presence was noticed by all of the guests in the ceremony. We laughed and cried with sheer joy and excitement. I would highly reccommend Rev. Arlene and her type of wedding ceremony. The day was so special.
