We booked Jessie as our officiant because we were looking for an original, memorable, but short ceremony. At first, I thought I wanted it to be 5 minutes long, no frills, but the more we thought about it, the more we wanted something with oomph, that wasn't memorable only because it was long. Jessie gave us everything we wanted, and more. The entire process was smooth and fun. Jessie's questions / homework were challenging but insightful. And she was so calm and patient as I blew deadline after deadline for getting things to her. On the day of, Jessie was totally professional, on time (early, even!), and gave me the best tip of the night - how to pee on the toilet in my dress. Jessie also was so laid back and rolled with the punches when, contrary to my repeated promises, there was no audio set up for her to use.

My fiance and I wanted our wedding ceremony to be on the shorter side. What a shame, because I think Jessie would have done a great job with a longer ceremony. We did not take full advantage of her services!

I was looking to find someone who would make our ceremony unique and found Jessie through Offbeat Bride...Jessie is awesome - super sweet right from the first e-mail response to me, which was within minutes. We wanted something non religious but with a little religion thrown in there somewhere but inconspicuously. We also wanted non-traditional but with some tradition. She had us answer questions and fill out a few forms and took what we wrote and made an amazing and memorable ceremony. Everyone commented how unique a ceremony it was and how warm and personable Jessie seemed. We were thrilled with her and loved working with her. Whatever you want your wedding ceremony to be like, Jessie can do it. I am pretty sure at least one person who was at our wedding will be using Jessie at his upcoming wedding...she's just great.

Like all the reviews we ready about Jessie before hiring her, we had an equally amazing experience with her. She was the ultimate professional from our very first meeting. She was completely organized at every meeting, always met her deadlines, responded to emails within minutes of sending them, and basically guided us every single step of the way. From information on obtaining our license, to helping us create a beautiful and fully unique ceremony, we could not have asked for more. We would whole-heartedly recommend Jessie to everyone.

Jessie made our wedding ceremony so special. The ceremony that she created for us was personal, sweet, and funny - just like we wanted it to be! The stories she shared and the personal elements she included made it feel like she had known us for years. Her calm personality and quick responses to emails really helped me to stay calm during the super stressful months leading up to our wedding. As soon as we met with her, we knew she was the one to marry us, and we were so glad to have her with us on our big day! Thanks, Jessie!

Jessie was a true pleasure to work with from the moment I reached out to her several months before our BIG DAY. She has a sweet personality and demeanor and she really knew how to read and understand my relationship with my husband and bring our love story to life on that day. After meeting with her personally and sending her some details about us as individuals and as a couple, she helped create a BEAUTIFUL ceremony based around our love, life and values. I recieved so many compliments about the ceremony message and delivery and Jessie had so much to do with that! I would reccommend her to anyone looking for a minister/officiant that will represent your love in a professional yet personal way on your big day.

I needed an officiant last minute and I knew right away when I searched that Jessie was the one. She helped me polish the ceremony that I had and added a few touches of her own. She is nothing but kind and professional. She helped calm nerves and made sure everything was ready to go on the big day. Jessie is laways reachable by email or phone and does everything you need her to. Check out her website, it is full of happy couples just like us! Thanks again Jessie for a beautiful ceremony!

I would highly recommend Jessie Blum as your ceremony officiant! She is kind, sweet, accommodating, creative, and professional. She was more than happy to work with me since I came in with specific themes I wanted to incorporate into the ceremony . She also chose some amazing quotes for us to include in the . She would always respond to my (many) emails within an hour or two--it was top-knotch service from beginning to end! I ended up having the perfect ceremony of my dreams, and I couldn't have done it without her. The ceremony was a huge hit with everyone at the reception--everyone couldn't stop raving about how beautiful and original it was! In short, I would recommend Jessie wholeheartedly for all of your officiating needs, she is absolutely amazing!

ECLECTIC UNIONS BY CELEBRANT JESSIE BLUM WAS THE BEST CHOICE MY HUSBAND AND I MADE FOR OUR WEDDING DAY!!! I don't even know how to begin to say how happy we are with Jessie. We were married on 7/15/11 and we are still getting calls from our guests telling us how beautiful our ceremony was and what an amazing job Jessie did. Jessie is hands down one of the kindest and professional people my husband and I have ever met. She really took the time to sit down with us, get to know us and understand what we wanted out of our special day. To be honest, when we went to her, we knew we wanted the ceremony to be personalized and different, but we weren't sure quite what that meant. Jessie worked with us to make suggestions and share ideas to tailor the ceremony to suit our needs. When I received the first draft of our wedding ceremony from Jessie, I could not stop crying (tears of joy). The level of detail and personalization she put into our ceremony was beyond what we could have expected. And on the day of our wedding I really felt like we were married by a friend, someone that knew us well and just had the most beautiful things to say. I would most definitely recommend Jessie to our friends and loved ones. Thank you Jessie for making our Wedding Day the most beautiful and memorable one we could have ever asked for!

Jessie was absolutely wonderful. As soon as we first met we decided to go with her. She was so prepared and so detail oriented we felt no need to look into another officiant. she knows her stuff and it shows. she made our day so special. she had great ideas and really put together a ceremony that made even the toughest of guys shed a tear. she delivered exactly what we wanted. she returned all emails and calls so promptly. she was 100% reliable and dependable. she def has a gift and is very talented- you will not regret hiring her.

We LOVED Jessie! She was amazing with everything. Super friendly, knows her stuff, asks for your input, and outlines everything in an easy way for you to understand. She sets up the ceremony - asks for input - edits - gives a timeline - and the "homework" is the best part. She was able to incorporate everything we wanted and we were able to honor family tradition even though neither of us are religious. FANTASTIC OVERALL!

When my (now) husband and I asked a friend to perform our ceremony, we knew we needed someone to write it. A Google search led me to Jessie and I'm so thankful it did! She was wonderful to work with and created a beautifully personalized ceremony for us. Many of our guests loved the uniqueness of it! No matter where you live, if you're looking for a ceremony that truly speaks to who you are as a couple, I would highly recommend Jessie's writing services!

Jessie is simply Amazing. From the second my wife and I met her, we knew she was going to do a great job. She helped us plan the ceremony every step of the way offering us many different options and different ways to personalize our ceremony to make it our own. Jessie was always so easy to contact and responded to emails very quickly! I could not imagine our wedding without Jessie. She made everything so special. Our wedding was weeks ago, and we are still getting compliments about how amazing our ceremony was!

Jessie was amazing to work with, and performed an incredible ceremony for us that we will never forget. From the moment we first met her, she put us at ease, and had us smiling and sharing the details of our love story right away. My husband and I knew she would be the perfect person to marry us, and we're thrilled to say our instincts were right! We wound up feeling like we had been friends with her forever, and it made it so easy to plan our ceremony with her.

She was incredibly helpful, offering us much-needed tips and guidance throughout the entire process, and helping us to create the perfect ceremony. Not once did she ever say "no, that won't work" -- she has a can-do, sunny attitude, and clearly loves what she does. She was also incredibly responsive. On many occasions, I'd send her an email with an idea or question late at night, and she'd respond right away!

She coordinated everything with ease, which was so appreciated, considering how stressful wedding planning can be. Thanks to her, I can say that our ceremony was probably the most fun part of the entire planning process, which is wonderful, considering that's really what it's all about! She helped us incorporate beautiful, unique readings, and interesting traditions, and she told our love story beautifully. We also wrote our own vows, and she gave truly great tips and advice on doing so.

Our families and friends are still talking about how amazingly personal and wonderful our ceremony was, and we were so happy to have Jessie marry us. We would highly recommend her to any couple getting married! She is the BEST!

Jessie was wonderful to work with! She designed a ceremony that was perfect for us. From the start, she was responsive, flexible and accommodating. We are so glad to have found her and recommend her highly!

Jessie did an amazing job with our ceremony. My husband and I had a hard time finding the right officiant, and after meeting Jessie we immediately knew she was the right person. We wanted a custom ceremony, and my husband is jewish and I am catholic, so we didn't want a lot of religion in our wedding. We had talked to other officiants and they really couldn't understand what we wanted. Jessie knew exactly what we were looking for, and put together the most beautiful ceremony that incorporate everything we wanted. Jessie was incredible through the entire process including the day off. She was so calming and relaxed and really made me feel at ease before the ceremony. My guests kept commenting on how beautiful the ceremony was, and even my parents who really wanted it in a church were happy with it. It was very personalized and I really felt like our guests understood the depth of our relationship. Thank you so much Jessie!!

Words cannot express how awesome Jessie Blum is! She put together the most warm, unique, and personal ceremony for us! Our guests ALL commented that the ceremony was incredibly special and like nothing they had ever seen before. Jessie was recommended to us by a friend of a friend. In fact, we were unsure that we would even have a ceremony because we wanted something very non-traditional, but as soon as we met with Jessie we both knew that she was perfect for us! During our initial meeting, we expressed a few strong opinions (no mention of God, no traditional rituals, etc), but also asked for her guidance. She listened to what we wanted, respected our wishes, and suggested ideas that we loved! For example, we wanted some sort of ritual during the ceremony (like lighting a unity candle) but didn’t know what exactly we envisioned. She suggested a wine sharing, which evolved into a prosecco and chocolate sharing (both prosecco and chocolate have special meaning to us). It was her creative thinking and willingness to work with our vision that makes Jessie so amazing! Throughout the whole planning process, she was always there to answer my (many) questions via email, no matter how large or small – often her answers would come within minutes of my query! She was accommodating and flexible when we changed from a small private ceremony to a much larger one just a few months before the wedding – in fact, she didn’t bat an eye at our change of plans. In the end, the ceremony that Jessie created for us was PERFECT – I can’t imagine improving it at all. It was sweet, funny, celebratory, and very touching. From the personal details that she included, it seemed as if an old and dear friend was marrying us (even though we had only met Jessie in person once and did the rest of our communications via email). Our guests were laughing, “ooohing” and “aaahing” and tearing up at the appropriate moments. Jessie Blum is amazing and I recommend her highly – I have every confidence that she will create a ceremony that is personal, meaningful, and perfect for you! Every time I think about our ceremony, I still smile – thank you Jessie, for doing such a great job!
