LOVE IS OUR PASSION
Great Celebrations is a trusted source for personalized ceremonies in Central Pennsylvania. We date back to 2000, when mother, Jacqueline Smith, and daughter Mylah Martin started a wedding planning business. That was fun. However, quite incidentally they came to recognize an important wedding omission. The CEREMONY (the real reason family and friends gather to honor a couple). They found couples were missing the finer points of their ceremony: what was to be said, what was to be done, when, and by whom. Their focus from that point shifted with Jacqueline becoming an ordained Minister and certified Life-Cycle and Wedding Celebrant.
Today we are ceremony specialists who excel at weaving all the visual elements of the planned occasion into a cohesive program, that through spoken words and actions portrays the unique journeys, stories, and values of our clients.
