On Friday, two days before the wedding, the field where we were to be married was soaked in fall sunlight. My father and I stood in front of the tent where the greatest event of my life would take place. The weekend looked like nothing could go wrong.

Saturday started with sprinkles, which would eventually morph into larger and more frequent types of precipitation. The path to the field which led to the field which housed the tent steadily turned into a rutty, impassible mess.

The wedding morning arrived. The moment grew closer and closer. Donna arrived and calmed a totally anxious groom (me). She came up with a plan to drive the wedding party to the tent using an off-road, but not totally destroyed, route.

She placed her hand on my arm, causing me to look over at her. “Just be calm. Everything that could go wrong has. Everything is still going to be perfect.” I froze for a second, and then realized everything would be fine.

The ceremony proceeded better than I could have ever expected. Donna made a dignified humorous remark about the weather and proceeded to deliver the best ceremony (not that I might be biased) ever in the history of weddings. She had worked with us extensively and I could not be happier.


When Brian proposed, I was the happiest girl in the world! I was so excited to start planning… the dress, the cake, the bridesmaids, the ceremony. I couldn’t wait to get married surrounded by my family and friends.

Brian and I wanted a ceremony that reflected us as a couple, who we were, the values and beliefs we shared. We chose Donna Buja to be our Eucharistic minister. She had so many different styles of ceremonies to choose from and guided us through the process of selecting the perfect one. We felt very comfortable with Donna, and that was important to us because we were so nervous on the big day that having a friendly face at the alter made a huge difference! I would recommend Donna to anyone who is looking for a stress free way of choosing the perfect ceremony for your big day.
She was fabulous!
