Professional, Warm, and Talented Officiant

We were introduced to Jenn from our wedding venue. We scheduled a meeting with her and knew she would be the perfect addition for our wedding day. She was very professional, responsive, efficient, and had a sense of calmness about her that we needed on the wedding day. When it came to the night before the wedding, Jenn was present for practicing our walking line up and rehearsal. We told her to take charge and the coach in her got us organized and kept everything moving, on time, and yet friendly and warm. Several of our wedding party members wished they had her during their wedding because she was great to work with. Once the big day arrived, she was there early to make sure everything was ready to go, and checked in with us, the DJ, and day of coordinator. She personalizes your ceremony through a questionnaire and virtual and in person meeting to be just how you want it. She also has great details and guidance during the ceremony that no one else thinks of: hand position, where we stand, holding hands, etc. We went to 6 weddings the year prior to ours and, when our day finally came, we realized all the little things that set Jen apart. She was wonderful to work with and I will be recommending her to anyone I know getting married.

Absolutely amazing!

Jennifer is truly an earth angel. From the moment I found her on Facebook and we first connected over Zoom, I knew there was something special about her, but I had no idea just how meaningful she would become in our story.
From start to finish, Jennifer poured so much love, care, and intentional detail into creating our ceremony. It wasn’t just a script, it was a reflection of our relationship, our faith, and the heart behind our commitment to each other. Every word felt personal, thoughtful, and deeply rooted in a God-first foundation, which meant everything to us.
The first time we met in person was right before our ceremony, and the moment I saw her, I immediately started crying. I could feel her warmth, her sincerity, and the genuine love she carries, it’s something you don’t come across often, and it made our day even more sacred and special.
If you are looking for someone who will create a beautiful, heartfelt, romantic, and faith-centered ceremony, Jennifer is beyond incredible. She doesn’t just officiate weddings, she pours her heart into them. We are forever grateful for her and would recommend her to absolutely anyone.

More Than an Officiant — A True Part of Our Day

From the moment we met Jenn, we just clicked. She made us feel instantly comfortable, and we knew right away she was the perfect person to officiate our wedding.
Our ceremony was non-religious and deeply personal, and Jenn took the time to truly get to know us through our premarital sessions. She’s so easy to talk to — warm, open, professional, and just the right amount of funny. She even joked with my husband about being from North Dakota (which I loved, because I do the same thing!), and those lighthearted moments made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
Jenn also took great care to honor what mattered most to us. She knew how important our loved ones who couldn’t be there were to us, and she included a beautiful moment of silence in their memory during the ceremony. It was such a thoughtful and touching gesture that meant the world to us.
As someone who struggles with anxiety, I especially appreciated Jenn’s calming presence. She helped me feel grounded, both in the lead-up to the wedding and during the ceremony itself — which made such a difference on a day that can feel overwhelming.
We truly can’t recommend Jenn enough. She brought warmth, heart, and humor to one of the most important moments of our lives, and we’ll always be grateful for the role she played in our day.

Josh & Alexis T

We walked away from our ceremony feeling so grateful we chose Jennifer to officiate our wedding for us. She is all around amazing at what she does, takes the time to get to know her couples, is very organized, professional, accommodating, and has a way with her words (we all cried happy tears through the whole thing)! Jennifer thank you for everything you did to help make our wedding day truly memorable and special for us.

The best day our lives!

What an incredible human this woman is! From coaching to coordinating she has watched me grow from a little gymnast to a woman to a wife. The little girl in me was jumping for joy inside seeing all of us athletes back together for a night!

Jenn was the perfect type A to my type B from coordinating to officiating! From monthly check-ins, to pep-talks, and everything in between, she absolutely put the best in "best day of my entire life'! She is an absolute joy to work with and knows just how to find peace in the chaos. Jenn is so genuine and cares so deeply for you and your day, and she really became part of the family on our wedding day! Her drive, ambition and precision make her the best of the best! You certainly wont regret booking with Blessings by Bartlett!

Thank you again Momma Bear!!

Heartfelt, authentic wedding ceremony

Jenn was incredible! From our very first meeting until the end of our ceremony, Jenn was professional, kind, and dedicated to authentically sharing our love story. Jenn's passion for what she does is apparent in every interaction and she has a true gift when it comes to capturing the heart of couples' relationships and putting it into words. We loved how the ceremony questionnaire allowed her to include direct quotes and stories from my husband and me--it was such a special touch to hear for the first time on our wedding day!! Despite 100+ degree weather during our ceremony, Jenn was calm, cool, and collected ensuring that we were stress free and that the ceremony flowed effortlessly. We are incredibly thankful that Jenn was a part of our day, and cannot recommend her enough!!

Unforgettable Experience

The level of commitment to telling our story of our life and what it meant to us was extraordinary. Was able to make adjustments on the fly which for someone who currently serves in the National Guard this made for less stress with such a dynamic environment going on. We were included in shaping our ceremony to be exactly how we wanted it to be. The collaborative effort and willingness to include personal aspects into the ceremony made for one the most beautiful and memorable ceremonies anyone has ever seen. FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE FAMILIES. Absolutely would recommend anyone to go with Blessings by Bartlett as Jennifer did such an outstanding job. The level of cooperation with other members of our day including Photographer, Wedding Party, Venue Staff, Families, and all around just taming the chaos of it all was unforgettable. Did not have to stress about the marriage certificate either as she handled the signing and making sure everyone was where they needed to be and promptly got to the courthouse as soon as it was open. We are forever grateful to have such an amazing person officiate our special day.

Sincerely,
The Rike Family
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
