Book her before it’s too late! 🤍

We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant than Jessica. From the moment we filled out her relationship questionnaire, we knew we were in good hands. She took the time to truly understand our love story and wove it into the ceremony with such grace and authenticity—it felt deeply personal and meaningful. She was also incredibly flexible, when our timeline changed, she adjusted her schedule to be there 4 hours earlier with just a days notice, we know that wasn’t easy and we appreciated her so much for her willingness to work with us.

Jessica led the entire ceremony with confidence and care, transitioning seamlessly from our vows to the ring exchange and that unforgettable kiss. She was a calming, grounding presence during such an emotional and exciting moment, helping everything flow beautifully. We are beyond grateful for the warmth and professionalism she brought to our special day. Thank you, Jessica!

Funny, sweet & professional

If your looking for a genuine officiant, don’t look any further. Jessica at our first meeting explained the steps & asked questions of what we valued and wanted to include in our ceremony. Our story is a little unique, as Jessica was the officiant to both our private marriage ceremony & our wedding ceremony. She helped us have two very different, but special ceremonies. She always reached out and answered all our questions. When our DOC had a flat tire and was late to rehearsal she took charge and helped us practice and feel less nerves for the wedding ceremony. She also kept the ceremony professional, with some humor & gave a beautiful prayer.

Jessica, a million times thanks for every single thing you did to make our wedding ceremony & private ceremony come true. Thanks for coining “Josie” because people kept calling us that all night lol. Your beautiful personality was perfect for us & our guest loved it. 😘

Best Officiant!

We had such a great experience with From the Heart Ceremonies! We originally spoke with Jess about my wedding and she did an amazing job not only using the poem I wanted in my wedding reading but going a step further and saying beautiful words interpreting it that brought tears to my eyes (and I'm sure everyone else's too). We had Bella as our actual officiant and she did a great job projecting (we didn't have a microphone) and had a great cadence that felt warm and happy, not too rushed and not too slow. We actually had multiple people ask us where we found our officiant because she did that great of a job! Great communication throughout the whole process made everything stress free - Highly Highly Highly recommend!!!

Hi everyone! We truly loved the way Jessica made our ceremony so special. She included all of our requests into our script, I love how it was personalized to fit our personalities. I truly recommend From the Heart Ceremonies for your next event. Jessica truly went above and beyond for our special day, I loved how she spoke during the ceremony in English and in Spanish and it was truly perfect for everyone to understand our ceremony. Thank you is truly an understatement for everything that she did for our special day.

We are very Thankful!!

Choosing From the Heart Ceremonies by Jess was the best decision we had made. Jessica did an amazing and a beautiful job officiating our wedding. We requested her to officiate in Spanish and every word she said was perfect. Our guests were also complimenting on how amazing she did and on her professionalism. She truly cares about her job and on providing good quality service. She even made me feel comfortable with her personality and charisma. Communication went smoothly from the moment I contacted her, she responded on a timely manner and was very understanding. I would highly recommend Jessica, she is AMAZING!
