​I am excited to introduce my Associate Officiant Reverend Lydia Gilbert

---

 Reverend Lydia Gilbert is a certified wedding officiant and upon request, is happy to provide proof of certification. ​

​I am so lucky to have Reverend Lydia working with me! Lydia is passionate about living “your” best life.  Recently retired from the field of education as a counselor and teacher, Lydia is enjoying helping couples celebrate the most memorable day of their lives, the wedding of their dreams!  Lydia’s passion for life, belief in all things good and her determination has paved her ever evolving journey.  Lydia is a spiritual individual that believes in all religious paths. If a higher power inspires you to find hope, love, peace and honesty…. all are welcome! Lydia believes love is love and is honored to share in the joy of all ceremonies.

Lydia is a Masters level professional in the field of counseling and an award winning teacher.  Lydia has taught modeling and acting and has directed plays, pageants and fashion shows.  Lydia’s acting credits include Emmy award winning programs, Off Broadway, commercials and most recently a Public Service Announcement with Chris Rock and President Obama!  Guided by the belief to “look for the good”, Lydia continues to volunteer her services with Our New Journey, a Foundation which assists caregivers of the disabled and also with the Traumatic Loss Coalition, where Lydia is a certified trauma counselor.  Lydia’s proudest joy is being the mother of two sons, one a marine one a musician, both amazing human beings!

Reverend Lydia Gilbert, NJ Wedding Officiant

"Lydia Gilbert did our wedding on 4/28/17 and it was absolutely perfect. Her ease, organization, and professionalism really made the ceremony go smoothly. We couldn't have asked for anyone better to marry us. The way she spoke was filled with enthusiasm and she was always quick to answer questions and emails about the ceremony. We want to thank her for making our ceremony so memorable and so easy. It was truly an amazing day"!......Heather Marie
