Very patient and easy to work with

Janelle took the time to get to know my husband and me. It was so easy to be open with her about our long journey to marriage. From the conversations she had with us, she incorporated personal and heartfelt sentiments throughout the ceremony. It was an intimate experience for us as a couple despite being in front of 100+ people.

The best there is!

We couldn't say enough about Janelle and how fantastic she was during this entire process. From the first meeting over the phone to the ceremony itself, Janelle proved to be one of our best finds during this wedding planning. As a same-sex couple, there is always the concern of finding vendors who will treat you with respect and attention, and Janelle exceeded every expectation we had. From a logistical standpoint, she was also extremely flexible in our requests, including bending over backwards so that we could sign our marriage licenses EXACTLY on the date we wanted. She walked us through each step of this otherwise (sort of) intimidating process. She even entertained our silly concept for our unity ceremony! It's no exaggeration that of all the vendors we had, our guests had asked us the most about her (a la "where on earth did you find her??"). Janelle was a highlight to the most important day for myself and my husband, and we couldn't be happier to recommend her to anyone looking for a top-class officiant.

Comforting to work with

Janelle is the best. She officiated my wedding, And it was so comforting to know that my ceremony was in good hands. From the initial consultation, Janelle listened. She heard my husband and I and came back with the most beautifully written ceremony. I must say that she has a way with words and was able to capture the essence of everything that we felt.

Best Officiant EVER

My now husband and I reached out to Janelle after having to change our wedding date, and my initial officiant was unavailable. Her ability to make the ceremony reflective of us within a week’s time is a true gift. Janelle was a joy to work with. She was flexible with our timeline and really saved the day for us.

Amazing Service

Overall, I cannot recommend Janelle highly enough. If you're looking for an officiant who will deliver a truly personalized and memorable ceremony, then look no further. Janelle is a true professional. She went above and beyond to make my special day one for the books. She worked with me and was more than an officiant since I was planning my wedding alone. She provided sound advice and was somewhat of a thought partner You cannot go wrong with Janelle.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
