Couldn’t ask for a better ceremony!

My husband and I were in a bind and needed an officiant about a month before the wedding, and we absolutely lucked out when Jennifer messaged us back and said she was available. She did the ceremony with such heart and warmth, that everyone asked if she had known us for years prior! Her ceremony speech nailed it too, she was able to get our relationship just with the few conversations we had.

Can’t thank her enough for such a beautiful ceremony!

Perfection!

We couldn’t be happier with the wedding Jennifer put together for us. We wanted something just for us in this time of COVID 19, and she definitely delivered. The location she selected was beautiful. She provided witnesses and they were great. They even took some really nice pictures for us. We whole heartedly recommend Jennifer and her team.

The best we could hope for!

We found Jennifer on WeddingWire and reached out for our COVID wedding this year. She was super friendly and helpful from the start, we spoke on the phone and then emailed back and forth. She had sample ceremony vows that we worked from which made it very easy. On the day of, she showed up promptly and spoke loudly for all to hear (we were a bit spread out cause COVID). After the ceremony, we realized we had forgotten to Zoom / stream it for family to watch from afar! She laughed and said let’s do it again! So we had two ceremonies back to back. It was hilarious and I’m SO thankful to have worked with Jennifer who rolled with the punches and was so ever patient and flexible. She’s the best, and was also really affordable. Thanks so much Jennifer!
