Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! My name is Rev. Lynn Bressi-Rowles and if you have not yet chosen a minister to officiate your ceremony it would be an honor if you would consider my services. I perform my ceremonies two different ways. One way is that I perform ceremonies in my home for couples that just want something small, private, and/or inexpensive. My fee to come to me is $30 Monday thru Thursday, all hours. My fee to come to me on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday is $50. I have the wedding arch set up in my home so even though my couples are coming to me they still get married under the arch and it makes a really pretty picture. The other way I perform ceremonies is to travel to any location my couples choose for ceremony such as the reception hall, a park, their home, etc. My fee to travel anywhere in Stark County is $100 seven days a week, all hours. My fee to travel outside of Stark County starts at $130 but that can go up depending on the distance I travel. I proudly serve northeast Ohio including Canton, Akron, Cleveland, and surrounding areas. Fees are payable day of ceremony. There is nothing due upfront, no down payment, etc. Witnesses are not required in the State of Ohio. So, ceremony may consist of bride and groom only if desired. If you have any questions or would like to schedule, please do not hesitate to contact me. It would be an honor and a privilege to officiate your ceremony. My Best, Rev. Lynn

Reverend Lynn is awesome. She has no problem with officiating same sex marriage as she did ours today. It was beautiful. I would recommend her to everyone. She is a very caring and passionate person. We love her. We couldn't of asked for anything more. Kori and Luci

Our experience with Happily Ever After and Rev. Lynn was absolutely perfect. She was so perfect to officiate our wedding. She came to our home and it was just the three of us, and our dog of course. She spoke from the heart and it made our ceremony that much more special. We are so happy to have met her and to make our wedding so much more that we expected. Thank you Rev. Lynn for everything. I hope others will have an opportunity to experience what we did!

Rev. Lynn is the person you want to go to for an officiant. I was married today by her and our last minute call to her needing to get it done ASAP - she met with us within an hour! She was so warm, happy and uplifting. This is the type of person you want to go to! Huge thanks to her for being so positive towards us. Our daughter was delighted with the goody basket of toys as well. Huge thanks to her for being such a great Rev!

I knew right away that we made the right choice with Rev Lynn. It was like we knew her already! Mike and I were married Oct 15, 2011 and Rev Lynn was such a breath of fresh air. We were married out side and it had to be the most windiest day of the year! We had many laughs throughout the ceremony and Rev Lynn laughed right with us! Mike and I love to have fun and God threw a few laughs our way! Even though it was cold and windy, the sun shined at the right moments. It was such a pleasure and honor to have Rev Lynn marry us!! Thank you so much for such a wonderful ceremony!!!

Happily Ever After is by far the best place for a small wedding and Rev. Lynn Bressi-Rowles is the best officiant in Stark County! She is understanding and very friendly. Instantly I felt at ease. She explains everything from start to finish. I had picked September 15, 2011 and it was raining, a really gloomy day and to top it off I had to go to work after the ceremony! Rev. Lynn made me feel like I had known her forever. Once inside the cozy atmosphere made everyone cheer up and we felt like it was the most intimate ceremony with my mom and our children. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day despite the rain. She helped us from start to finish and answered all our questions. Rev Lynn you have truly found your calling...you are the very BEST!!!!

Reverend Lynn (of Happily Ever After) is one of the kindest people I've ever met. She made our ceremony so special. She was so wonderful and helped walk my husband and I through everything! Jeremy and I were very nervous, but she really put us at ease. When you pick your wedding officiant, you are picking the most important part of the entire wedding (short of picking your spouse, of course). Our first (unfortunate) choice had been someone who officiated my aunt's wedding. He started at 500 dollars (something he called a 'gift') and wanted so much counseling before hand. He kept breaking appointments and not answering calls and emails. Finally we said, that's enough. Our second choice was the pastor of my mother's church. His price was reasonable, but we were unsure we would be allowed our specialized vows and too much counseling was required (we have a busy schedule and just no time for anything like that). Third time's the charm though! I took a chance and called Reverend Lynn - everything was so easy. She walked us through everything, met with us, explained everything, answered all of our questions - even gave us information on the marriage license and changing my name! She is beyond wonderful. I've been recommending her to everyone. Very professional but still very personable and sweet. My guests are still commenting on her. Her fees are VERY reasonable as well. She's just all around wonderful. Thank you for everything, Reverend Lynn! <3 <3 <3

I came across Reverend Lynn when I did a Google search to try to find someone who performed small ceremonies at their own location. I showed her website to my fiance and we decided to have Rev. Lynn marry us. It was very easy to contact her by email and make the arrangements. When we got there that evening, she came outside to greet us. We felt welcome immediately, and she made us both so comfortable during the ceremony. She took plenty of pictures for us, too. It was definitely worth the drive from Medina to get married by Rev. Lynn. When we left, my husband told me how surprised and impressed he was with how nice Rev. Lunn was, and that he was definitely glad we went to her. Thank you so much Rev. Lynn.

Rev. Lynn is the best! She just performed our cermony on Sunday at the Canton Club and she was phenomenal, from meeting with us prior to the big day to review everything, walking everyone through their parts and just bringing the most positive energy to our simple yet spiritual ceremony. Doug and I were thrilled with our experience and our wedding day! Thank you Rev. Lynn!

We are so happy with the ceremony that Rev. Lynn performed for us. She is such a kind, caring person and did everything she could to make our day special, including moving the date and location after everything was set. I wasn't really sure what kind of ceremony I wanted, so I left everything in Rev Lynn's hands, and she just seemed to know what would be perfect for us.
Rev. Lynn - thank you for being such a wonderful, loving person. You made our day so very special and we will always be grateful.

Rev. Lynn was exceptional! My fiance at the time was 19, and I was 18 so we were very skeptical of some officiants we came across. We knew we wanted to have a very tiny service at first, and what Lynn offered was perfect. We had a date set, and she made it available to us and our budget! I am so happy, and we're coming up on our one year, and I know every year after this will be just as great. I could never thank her enough for being so kind and providing such a sweet and memorable service. Thanks you so much Rev. Lynn!

I have known Rev. Lynn for over 6 years, so naturally she was our first choice to officiate our wedding. She has a beautiful speaking voice and such a natural demeanor that you too will feel like you've known her forever. She made our ceremony beautiful, special, and most of all, exactly the way we wanted it to be. Rev. Lynn overlooked the fact that the bride was barefoot, our 1yr old daughter was wandering around and squealing and there were 3 photographers and 1 videographer behind her doing their jobs and managed an amazing ceremony. Definitely a first class lady and a first class pick for your wedding!
Much love Rev. Lynn! Thank you sooo much again!
Love,
Jess and Gary Starcher

Rev. Lynn was very gracious is performing our wedding ceremony at her location on Sunday, 10.10.10 and she pronounced us husband and wife at exactly 10:10 am. We appreciate the simplicity of her venue and kindness in her words. We will be forever appreciative of her Happlily Ever After marriage ceremony.
Thank you Rev. Lynn!

How do I start? We are living in Canada at the present time, my husband and I wanted to have a wedding in my home state of Ohio. He found Rev. Lynn on line and just went on from there.
We both just wanted a small quiet ceremony and that is exactly what we got. Rev. Lynn made it very easy and very special that day for us!
I absolutely would refer anyone to her. She is an amazing, comforting, strong, caring and loving person!
I could not have had a better day, she made my husband and myself feel very relaxed and also included our families in the entire day.
Thank you Rev. Lynn...you are definetly number 1 in our books! I am glad you were there to share in our special day!! Love and best wishes......Cindy and Rob Parker

So let me start by saying THANK YOU SO MUCH REV.LYNN you made our day so GREAT and UNFORETABLE.If anyone out there is looking for something inexpencive,friendly,and comfortable then Rev.Lynns the #1. My husband and I didn't know where to start, we are not currenty in church didn't want to go to the court house either b/c I always wanted a Rev. To marry me on my wedding day.. Then I fount Rev. Lynns site online at first I was so scared b/c I'm really shy but after talking to Rev. Lynn on the phone I knew she was the one.. I felt so at peace with her and that was just over the phone!! I can PROMISE you she's the NICEST person you'll ever meet.. She does an amazing job with the ceremony, she goes over everything with you before you start so you know what's going to take place and when.. And I'm pretty sure everyone is kinda nervous to say there vows afraid they'll mess up or something the Rev.makes sure she speaks them calm and slow so you get it word for word..I just love her and have nothing but nice things to say about Rev. Lynn you won't be let down at all she's amazing and she makes you feel right at home. We will always have a special place in our hearts for her.. We love you Rev.Lynn!! :-) ~Tom n Lynda~ P.S. don't forget your camrea she LOVES to take your picture which was the sweetest thing ever :-)

I can't tell everyone how much of a great job Rev. Lynn did. It's our one year anniversary today. Looking back on the quality she gave us on a such short notice was great! So if your looking to get married on a very small budget in the Canton area, go to Rev. Lynn. My wife and I Thank you so much Rev. Lynn!

Rev. Lynn did a fantastic job. She is sensitive to what your concerns or needs are. I like that she thought of things that I totally forgot about in the hustle and bustle of getting married, you kind of forget some major happenings in the course of ceremony. She is fabulous and makes sure you understand all the angles of marriage. You want someone that is friendly and not all business so you look forward to having the ceremony. By the end of meeting Rev. Lynn my husband and I couldn't wait to marry one another. We felt like that before, but sometimes you get weighed down with details. Rev. Lynn takes the guess work out of getting married.

Many thanks to you Rev. Lynn! Wedding planning is stressful enough and you made all that go away. When my now husband and I started planning out wedding, there was so much involved that is became over whelming. After finding out that we would not be able to obtain a marriage license in FL, where our actual wedding ceremony will take place March 6th, we knew we had to get married before we went. After contacting the court house, we found out that they no longer marry people there. I was in a panic and called Rev. Lynn. What an absolute delight. She smiled and hugged us at the door, and right then I knew, she was the one to perform our vows. Thank you for making everything alright Rev. Lynn.
Sincerely yours,
Michael and Tarrah Lavelle.

Our wedding was so pleasant, peaceful and intimate. Rev. Lynn made sure it was exactly how we wanted it. She made it "our" wedding, not just "a" wedding. I was a little nervous but that faded away as she greeted us at the door with her beautiful and bubbly personality. There was laughter and such an easiness about the whole ceremony. She took the time to explain things through before the wedding. She made the entire family comfortable and a "part of" as she performed the ceremony with such grace and professionalism. She encouraged pictures before, during and after. Thank you Rev. Lynn for the beautiful, heartfelt ceremony and memories!

We got engaged at Christmas and didn't have the slightest idea what direction to go in next. After a quick search on the internet we found Rev Lynn. As soon as she returned our call we knew right away she would be the one to perform our ceremony. We wanted something simple just for the two of us. She made it enjoyable, comfortable, personal and the photo session afterwards was the icing on the cake. She is a wonderful person and there is not one thing we would have changed for our special day.

My now husband and I were engaged for a while when he said to me "Lets get married Tuesday". So we got on the computer and found Rev. Lynn. In the same day we went and got our license and got married. Rev. Lynn was the best. She made everything so nice. I am telling everybody i know about Rev. Lynn. Thank you Rev. Lynn for making my unforgetable day even more unforgetable.

On the biggest day of our lives, Rev. Lynn was there to guide us through every moment. We were both so nervous but there she was, this wonderful woman to help us through each and every step. Her voice will make your heart smile and you will know from the first hello that Rev. Lynn is who you will want. She thought of things neither of us did. She even included my children, now our children! Thank you so much for everything Rev. Lynn and of course, we will be keeping you in the family and recommending you to everyone we know for their special day!

My now Husband and I got married the same day we got our marriage license! We had been engaged for awhile and didnt want anything big,so we came across Rev.Lynn's website and decided we were going to check it out. I knew as soon as she answered the phone that we were going to go to her! . We scheduled our time for later in the day because she was booked, she then she had a cancelation and called to see if we wanted an earlier time! She was so thoughtful and caring from the start!! It was so beautiful and she made everyone feel welcome. The ceremony was lovely we couldnt have asked for more!! Thanks Rev Lynn your the best!!

We first contacted Rev. Lynn several times through email and by phone and only met in person the day of the wedding. From the start, her calm and sweet manner and friendliness made us feel instantly comfortable and convinced us we would like her to be the one to marry us. The wedding ceremony was heart-warming and wonderful and we loved it.

My original minister backed out at the last minute and I was told about Rev Lynn by a friend of mine. She only had about 1 week notice and she was so excited like she had known us for years.

We found Rev Lynn to do our wedding ceremony in Sept 2000. She gives a wonderful ceremony, very thoughtful and heartfelt. She can adapt the ceremony to your needs and desires. Since our wedding, she has also done the ceremonies for my son in 2003, my step-daughter in 2007, and my god daughter's renewal of vows in 2008. I wouldn't have anyone but Rev Lynn!
