Awesome officiant !

My husband and I just recently got married in the Lancaster area. Initially, I had some reservations about reaching out to an unknown person to be our officiant. Looking back on the process, I would not have changed a thing. Jean was amazing from start to finish. She was so responsive and helpful. She provided us with a variety of options for readings, vows, etc. She made the process that much easier! Her script for the day of the wedding was exactly what we wanted. She did not force anything on us, everything was hand selected for us. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Highly recommend!

Jean is the best! We felt so attended to and cared for throughout the process. She answered all of our questions and the ceremony was personal and lovely. She was the perfect person to officiate our wedding and we couldn't have asked for more.

Last minute rescue!


With one week to find an officiant my husband found Jean. Not only did she walk us through every step of what she needed us to do. She then confirmed date time location and sent us our vows to review. Then she showed up ready to work. She got all of our guests gathered. Made sure we had a song to walk down the aisle (we forgot to even pick a song) she gave us exactly what we wanted on our wedding day.

Great officiant

Jean was an absolute joy to work with. She took the time to get to know my husband and I during the planning process of our wedding. We bounced ideas back and forth off of each other until we came up with the perfect ceremony script that catered to our story. She was very timely and sweet checking in and making sure everything was good to go pre-ceremony. Jean handled some mic issues so professionally during the ceremony. Highly recommend!

Personalized and intimate ceremony

Jean was phenomenal! We had a small backyard wedding with just our children. She ensured that everyone was included, but kept the focus on us. She really listened to what we wanted. It was the perfect ceremony.

Highly recommend!

Jean did a fantastic job of telling our story as a couple and made our ceremony personal. Her help at every stage of planning was always prompt and much appreciated. We felt confident going in to the wedding day that the ceremony would run perfectly. Many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed hearing the story Jean told.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
