About

YOUR WEDDING CEREMONY IS AN EVENT WITHIN AN EVENT.

Titles are important. Let’s start there. At GREAT Celebrations you get a WEDDING CELEBRANT who officiates at your wedding. Many coupes believe wedding officiating is purely a religious matter; they do not realize they can have a say in the creation of their ceremony. If you want input in your ceremony so that it is compatible with all the other arrangements you’ve made for your wedding, then you want GREAT Celebrations’ minister Jacqueline to handle your nuptials. She has years of public speaking experience, training in the art of storytelling, certifications in weddings and ceremonies. Most importantly, she does not crowd her calendar by overbooking.

PRICE: We are not the least expensive. Our price reflects the time and love we will put into preparing the perfect ceremony for you.

PROCESS: We begin with a getting-to-know-you meeting, and then work from there to develop a wedding script and incorporate, elements, rituals and symbols most befitting your ceremony.

A joyous rite of passage!

It was a pleasure to have Reverend Jacqueline of GREAT Celebrations unite us in marriage! She lovingly made our simple Signing Ceremony into an extra-special occasion. We happily recommend her services to others. Thank you for a perfect and joyous rite of passage!

It could not have gone any better...

We had so many comments from attendees about how beautiful the ceremony was, and I could not agree more. I would not hesitate a second to recommend GREAT Celebrations to anyone.

A Beautiful Wedding Story

Jacqueline was great. She was so kind and professional. She made the whole experience effortless and fun. She was on point with everything and she was extremely helpful with our wedding rehearsal. I loved the story she put together for us and had everyone that came to our wedding able to see the realness of who we are as a couple and the love that we had for each other and our children.

Her chime idea for our loved ones was so touching. We would not have know all these special touches without her service. I would recommend her to all brides.
