Jen Exceeded our Expectations

We called Jen last minute when we decided to elope to Bozeman, Montana. She helped make our wedding truly unforgettable by handling every detail from flowers, restaurant suggestions, marriage license, photographer as well as our spectacular ceremony site. Thanks Jen, you nailed it!

Planning an Elopement in a week?!

Jen was our officiant for our elopement in Missoula. My husband and I decided to elope with a week to plan and make arrangements. I started researching officiants and when the first one fell through, I resorted to looking at an elopement Facebook page and came across Jen. From the moment I reached out to her she was responding immediately, despite being on vacation in Italy! Jen asked questions about my vision (which was pretty much non-existent at that point), vendors, etc. She had a list of recommendations ready when I needed them. Jen sent my husband and I a questionnaire to custom write the ceremony and it turned out perfectly. I couldn’t have dreamed of a better scenario for our ceremony; I was in tears before she made it through the first two sentences. From the second Jen walked through the door, she had a calming presence and ran the show, checking in with me while I was getting ready to make sure things were running smoothly and how I wanted them. We could not have pulled off this last-minute elopement without the help and expertise of Jen. You could tell she genuinely loves what she takes and takes pride in her work. I cannot say enough great things about Jen! If you are considering her as your wedding officiant, I promise you will not be disappointed. She definitely exceeds expectations in my book! Thank you Jen for making our special day perfect in every way!

Amazing!!!!

Just wow… When my wife and I were first looking for an officiant, we were just expecting a warm body to say a few words and do what was legally necessary for us to be married. We honestly were more focused on who the photographer would be and  thought that was the more important investment. Well… we were absolutely incorrect. 

From the start, Jen was an absolute superstar and showed us the value and impact an officiant can bring not only on our wedding day, but the months and weeks leading up to the big day.

To be transparent I tried negotiating the price on our first call because the “internet” told me officiants are not that expensive. And boy did I feel like an idiot for haggling her after experiencing the wedding ceremony because Jen absolutely blew us  away with her service and efforts throughout the process. In fact, I gave her a tip after the ceremony because we were so impressed.

If you are looking for someone who will take the time to truly learn what makes your relationship with your partner special and bring that story to life in your ceremony, Jen is the your girl! 

No spoilers here, just be ready for lots of tears and special memories you will remember forever ❤️

We couldn't have done it without you.
Love,

The Perfect Officiant

We feel so grateful to have found Jennifer—she was absolutely the perfect officiant! From the start, she met with us, asked thoughtful questions, and created a ceremony that felt beautiful, personal, and completely “us.” On our wedding day, she wasn’t just the officiant—she truly became part of our story.
Our guests were blown away by the heartfelt details she included, and so many told us how meaningful the ceremony felt. Jennifer has an incredible way of bringing both calm and joy, which made the whole experience unforgettable.
If you’re getting married in the Bozeman area, don’t think twice—book Jennifer. She will go above and beyond to make your day truly special. Thank you, Jen, for everything!

Last minute Elopement!!

I could not have been more impressed! To start, I only gave her about 3 days notice 😅 but she pulled together such a cohesive and beautiful ceremony for my husband and I. The day of, she was so helpful getting us to our elopement spot and even helped wrangle our kids so we could have a moment together and to get pictures. Just beyond helpful! And we hadn’t considered the courthouse being closed until after we were already heading back home so she helped us file our license and shipped it straight to us!

So thankful for Jen and all of her help, our day turned out perfect for us due to lots of help from her!

Simply the best

Jen was our officiant when we eloped. We traveled from Tennessee to Montana. From the very beginning of connecting with Jen, she made us feel special and appreciated. She provided a helpful timeline to help us keep track of things up until elopement day. She recommended our photographer, where to eat, sights to see, a florist, and everything in between. She held our hands through every step of the process and her kindness was extremely welcomed. On elopement day, Jen helped me with my dress and accessories, she had an amazing playlist, and led us through the ceremony flawlessly. Jen felt like family out there and I had never met her until elopement day. We are forever grateful for who she is and the passion she shared with us. Thank you Jen, Dean and Katie Kosobud ♥️

Whew! Here we go, going to try not to get emotional myself while writing this review.

Jen was the missing piece to our elopement puzzle. My now husband and I decided to elope in Grand Teton NP just the two of us. An officiant was the last thing we needed in our planning process. For weeks, we couldn’t get an answer from anyone. One night, getting close to our elopement date, my friend posted in a FB group. Jen answered and thank gosh she did. We reached out to her via email and 5 mins later she responded with something like “yes I will officiate your wedding and yes I will travel”. From that moment forward we were in constant communication. She would reach out to me to check in/ help with planning and when I had a question, she would respond within two minutes. Her process of crafting a ceremony begins with a questionnaire that is sent to the bride and groom separately (pro tip: after the wedding we read each other's responses to those questions ((sob!)) ). Then she asked us what, if anything, we would like included. We chose the civil ceremony but she will craft to whatever you would like. Over the next few weeks before the wedding my husband and I became good friends with Jen. Fast forward to our wedding day, the moment we saw Jen it felt like our bestie had arrived to be there with us on our wedding day. She embraced us with big hugs. We were obviously nervous but as soon as Jen got there we felt at ease. The evening started with Jen cheering us on as we got our photos. Then it was time for the ceremony. She found the perfect spot. Had a playlist going to set the mood. Had tissues ready. Organized everything. Made quick friends with our photographer. Even brought things to add to our flat lays! As the sun was setting, Jen delivered the most beautifully crafted ceremony. It told our story. It made us giggle. It made us reflect. It made us cry. It made us take a deep breath. All before “I do”. Jen brought our story to life, her words flowed through us, and we listened to every single one she said. It was the best ceremony I had ever heard and it was ours. It was the best because it was unique, not formal (as requested by us), and smart writing. We get to keep the ceremony, because it was handwritten by Jen in a personalized ceremony book. How cool is that! We all stuck around a celebrated for a bit before parting ways. Later, she provided us with honeymoon recommendations for the rest of the week!!! SO, if you are reading this review, I hope what you get out of it is that you absolutely can not do your wedding day without Jen as your officiant. Jen is incredibly talented at writing ceremony scripts. She is must for your wedding day 🤍
