A Truly Personal and Beautiful Ceremony.

Joann was an absolute joy to work with and created a ceremony that felt truly personal and meaningful. From the start, she made us feel calm, supported, and understood, taking the time to get to know us as a couple.

On our wedding day, everything flowed beautifully. Her words were warm, elegant, and sincere, and so many of our guests told us how touching the ceremony was. Joann’s professionalism, kindness, and calm presence made a big difference on such an important day. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant and highly recommend her.

Absolutely Recommend!!

Outstanding! Joann did a phenomenal job with our ceremony. She worked with us to ensure we were 100% happy with our ceremony ahead of time. My dad was the most concerned with how our officiant was going to be and he was blown away. Told her how much of a pro she is. Cannot recommend more!!

An Amazing Officiant

Joann was such a special part of our wedding!

You can trust that she'll get to know you and your partner and make the ceremony special. Our wedding was non-traditional and she was very caring and open-minded about us as a queer/LGBT+ couple, which was incredibly important to us. She printed our personalized vows and made sure we were comfortable with our final draft of the ceremony before our wedding day.

Thank you Joann for making the most stressful part of the day one of the most seamless experiences!

Personalized and warm ceremony w/ Joann

Joann did a great job at our wedding ceremony. She has a calming presence at the altar and delivered with poise and warmth. It was a special experience.

We received lots of compliments on how personalized our ceremony was and that was because Joann got to know us. We met over brunch and calls to tell her our story and what was important to us. Joann then put together a ceremony that reflected who we were and what we wanted. She made it very clear that she wanted to make sure we were happy w/ the ceremony; she worked w/ us until we had what we wanted and it all turned out great.

We highly recommend Joann. She does a great job and clearly cares about the couples she works with.

Our 5/11/24 celebration!

Joann is such a kind and lovely person. We could tell immediately from our initial conversation with her just how much love and passion she has for her work as a certified celebrant; we chose her without hesitation to officiate our wedding ceremony. She took the time to really get to know my husband Nate and I and included us every step of the way while writing our perfect ceremony. She met with us on two occasions to go over drafts of the ceremony (offering more meetings if needed) and reviewed both of our personal vows to help us nail that harmony in length and tone between both our words. We couldn’t have picked a better person to marry us!

Amazing officiant!

Absolutely incredible! Joann was very professional, but more importantly, she was warm, kind, and thoughtful. She met with me and my now husband no less than three times before the wedding to get to know us better so that we can have a more personalized ceremony. She listened to our feedbacks and incorporated them into the ceremony so that it genuinely reflected our love story. The attention to detail and care Joann took to write such a beautiful script was evident from the many positive compliments we received about it from our guests. We are beyond grateful to Joann for helping make our wedding day that much more amazing!
