The BEST elopement

She was extremely professional. We weren’t to sure what we wanted but we didn’t want anything super over the top. It was about 20 minutes long total and it was perfect. She did and amazing job. The script she came up with was so beautiful and unique. The pricing was very affordable. She was also able to travel all th way to clingmans dome for us. We’re so glad we close this option. We highly recommend her.

A Ceremony to Remember

We hired reverend Jackie to officiate our wedding in London KY. One of the best decisions we made. Our ceremony was very customized and personal. Revered Jackie allowed us to edit every portion of the ceremony if desired and really made it feel beyond special. Not only that, the spoken words at the ceremony were extremely empathetic and from the heart. The audience and us found the ceremony to be breathtaking. Our family are still complimenting the service weeks later. Jackie was an absolute treasure! She traveled for the rehearsal and the wedding with no complaints. She was there every step of the rehearsal and showed up 45 minutes early for the ceremony. She was very responsive to all our questions and needs. We were so nervous about finding an officiant that would be able to present this special part of the service and convey it in a touching way. If you are thinking about hiring an Officiant to make your joyous occasion more meaningful please look no further. Thank you again, Reverend Jackie!

My perfect pagan wedding

Reverend Jackie worked with me to get those minor details, or “Easter eggs” into our witchy nerd wedding that had our loved ones chuckling, as well as the huge details that made the ceremony truly magical, She was patient as we ran a few minutes late and was flexible in our timing for the rehearsal. I would fully recommend her, her options are extensive and allows for a personalized experience!

On top of things

Reverend Jackie was very professional and personable. She was flexible with our schedule and special requests, even hiking a distance to perform our outdoor elopement at the spot we wanted. She designed a beautiful ceremony for us, and delivered the words with warmth. We would recommend her to anyone wanting an affordable, personalized ceremony organized by a real professional.
