We had to have a very limited gathering due to COVID and were so delighted with the lovely words that Joy shared. Even though it was a small gathering, Joy still made it special with her thoughtful and insightful message about love, kindness, and companionship. This ceremony was in addition to the one we have had to postpone and we are so looking forward to the message that Joy will share with us and our friends and family at our next, post-COVID marriage celebration.

My husband and I planned our wedding in 4 days. I found Joy online after we got our marriage license and she had availability on the Friday we wanted. She welcomed our son and us into her home and performed the most beautiful, special ceremony. Afterwards she brought out her sweet dogs Penny and Hannah, whom our son absolutely adored! Thank you Joy for being so accommodating and kind. It was an unforgettable ceremony.

Reverend Joy provides personalized and professional service that meets a couple’s specific needs and creates lasting memories of such a special moment in their lives. We really enjoyed having her officiate our daughter’s wedding!

We loved working with Joy! She created a spectacular ceremony for my husband and I. It suited us perfectly! Joy made sure everything went smoothly so we could relax and celebrate. It was very special and unique, our guests had so many compliments! We highly recommend Joy and we're so grateful for all her help!

Joy showed up early and was very flexible with our wishes. She was extremely professional. Our wedding ceremony was the perfect day!

If you're looking for a heartfelt, personal, breath-taking ceremony, you NEED to hire Rev. Joy! From start to finish she is an absolute pleasure to work with and completely sets your mind at ease. By weaving in personal touches and custom making your ceremony, you'll be left feeling completely grateful and happy with your decision- my husband and I are! Thank you Joy!

Reverend Joy Burke helped make our wedding ceremony so special. Her kind, thoughtful words and overall pleasant demeanor let us know right away we had made the right choice. We live outside of the Saratoga, closer to NYC and decided to cancel our original plans and have a private wedding ceremony in a place we frequent and love to visit annually. Despite the fact we did not have familiarity with vendors from the area, Reverend Joy was highly recommended and we can easily understand why! She was easy to work with, was quick to respond and provided us with the words in which solidified our union and warmed our hearts on our most special day. We would recommend her without reservation!

Joy was wonderful. She prepared a beautiful ceremony for us and was the perfect start to our marriage 💕

Joy is amazing! She knows exactly how to capture a one of a kind ceremony that is perfectly tailored to the couple. She knows exactly what to ask in order to create a perfect summary of each couple's love story. She is patient and has a wealth of knowledge and experience. She is capable of doing all types (religious, casual, personal, ritual oriented, etc, ceremonies). We were in awe of how many of our guests thought she was a friend for years or the pastor of our church!! You wont go wrong with Joy!

I found Joy on Wedding Wire for our October 5th 2019 wedding. I reached out to Joy about 2 years prior, wanting to lock her in based on amazing reviews. Right away, she was so pleasant and beyond helpful with the whole process. She has amazing examples of vows, readings, etc to help you create your own special ceremony and vows. I grew up in Saratoga Springs, but live in Virginia now. Despite not being close, Joy was available by phone whenever needed, and when my husband and I went up to NY for vacation, we stopped by her wonderful home to touch base a few months before. We had some characters in our wedding party (mainly, the groomsmen :P) and Joy THANKFULLY kept them in line haha! As the bride I had enough to worry about. Our ceremony was magical. Afterwards, I had numerous people come up to me asking about Joy and how they were blown away by her readings, presence, and how she contributed to making that moment so special for us. Joy is a bit pricier than some other off... Read moreiciants that I have seen, or compared with other brides. But she is so worth it, and you will not be disappointed!

Joy- I'm sorry this is so delayed. I can't thank you enough for what you provided Frank and I on our wedding day. For only speaking with us a few times prior to, the ceremony your wrote was spot on, it seemed like you'd known us a lifetime! I would highly recommend your services and hope that other couples hire you in order to enjoy the experience as much as we did. Thanks again!!

Thank you Joy for making the ceremony for my bride and I the ceremony we asked for. Joy put our story, blessing, and incorporated two readers and our mothers in the ceremony. She was perfect and efficient. She had a nice touch and did everything we had asked for. Would highly recommend!

Joy was wonderful! We had extenuating circumstances and had to rearrange the wedding date. She was very flexible and accommodating!

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the ceremony! We received so many compliments on the ceremony and how beautiful and personal it felt! You did an amazing job on it and it made us feel even more special! We loved everything about it and I just wanted to thank you for everything!
