Jessica was awesome!

Jessica absolutely met and exceeded our ceremony and picture expectations. I would HIGHLY recommend her! We had her officiate our elopement as well as take photos.
Jessica was prompt, professional and accommodating, making the experience easy and stress-free. Her initial response time was immediate, and she was open to texting, calling and emailing. Her communication was consistent from the time we first spoke to receiving our pictures after getting married.  In terms of cost, we really couldn't have gotten a better deal. For a beautiful elopement ceremony in our choice of location and seriously gorgeous pictures, I can not imagine finding a lower cost. Everyone commented on how beautiful and professional looking her photos were, and we received a ton of photos for such a modestly priced package. The picture turn-around time was less than 48 hours. She even sent us a few just hours after the ceremony. During the actual ceremony, again, she was professional in appearance and conduct, and the ceremony script was given to us far in advance in case we wanted to have anything changed, so we knew exactly what to expect.
All in all, we had a wonderful experience working with Jessica and would recommend her.

Jessica Dapson- wedding officiant

Jessica was an excellent choice for our wedding officiant. We did a lot of research but all signs pointed to Jessica. She was professional and responded immediately. She completed the paperwork in a timely manner and made the process very easy. As a same sex couple, we wanted to feel at ease and she did just that.

I highly recommended Jessica. She made us feel welcome and our family loved her ceremony.

Highly recommend Jessica--an amazing wedding officiant!

Jessica was the perfect choice to officiate our wedding. She was quick to respond to my inquiry which was a theme throughout the whole process--she was very communicative without being overwhelming and always set expectations for when I would here from her and with what information. We found her rate to be extremely fair and affordable compared to other options we explored. She was flexible to provide a rehearsal for us onsite and her calm presence helped me feel confident the day would go smoothly. She was incredibly professional, while also being personal and made us feel very special and comfortable in designing and executing our ceremony. Our guests were very complimentary of her services and I would recommend her in a heartbeat. Thank you, Jessica!

A dream come true!

Jessica made our ceremony dreams come true! She was immediately very responsive and sent us a script shortly after our initial talk. We barely made any edits to it since it was just beautiful the way it was. She welcomed the few edits we submitted to make it feel more like "us". We wanted to incorporate our kitty and she was happy to include her! She even signed the adoption paper we provided for my fiance to officially become her father! She arrived at the venue looking very respectful and dressed professionally. She visited both of us individually and helped calm our nerves and assured us that everything would go smoothly. The delivery of her service was sensitive, clear, calm and full of life. It felt like she was talking about us as if she had known us our entire lives. Our guests commented all night long about how lovely she was and how beautiful the ceremony was with her leading it. We couldn't have imagined a better officiant and wouldn't have changed a single thing about her! She was a huge part of our fairy tale ceremony!

We are so happy we chose Jessica to marry us. She helped put a personal touch on our ceremony and had many great ideas. She was very creative when we were looking for a way to honor my late father. She even rolled with the punches and didn't miss a beat when my young nephew made a fuss during the ceremony. Jessica is a warm person with a wonderful sense of humor. The hand fasting aspect of our ceremony was especially beautiful. She was very responsive throughout the process and respectful of our wishes. We would definitely recommend her.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
