Jessica has gone above & beyond to make my experience, so far, effortless. I wouldn't call myself Bridezilla; but....

Jessica and Lori are worth every penny! Don't be fooled because there prices are so amazing that you get less. Jessica and Lori were excellent listeners and fully understood my vision. They went above and beyond what was in the contract. My now husband, and I live in New Jersey. Jessica, Lori and I had a couple of Skyping meetings, met for the rehearsal then it was go time. They played interference on a number of occasions so that I could enjoy my special day as a bride should. I even received a binder with my timeline & contracts. If I were you, I'd nab them before they're booked.

They made amazing wedding

Jess and Lori made our wedding the best day ever. They are so very sweet and kind, responsible, easy to communicate, helpful, and punctual. My husband and I got married in young age and none of our friends were married yet. (Also I am immigrant.) So we literally had no idea what should happen in the wedding day. I asked many questions to Jess for preparing, and she always replied very fast politelly and clearly. I can't tell how much it was helpful. And in our wedding day, she knew every single detail what happens next and who should be responsible for that. My husband and I had nothing to be worried about and we just focued on enjoying the day. It was the best day in our life because of them. They worked much much more than the price we paid. I would recommend them to all of my friends and family who will get married in the future. Thank you so much! Much Love.

EC Matrimony EC Matrimony Wedding Officiants

I am the owner of EC Matrimony and had the honor of working with Once Upon A Happy Ending this summer. These ladies (and gentlemen) are amazing! I was so completely impressed with every detail that they planned out for their couple. I have officiated hundreds of weddings, and the wedding I worked with them on was one of the best. You will not be disappointed when you hire them. In my experience as an officiant, I have see. So many couples stressed out on the day of their wedding because they decided to handle everything on their own. Couples who have hired a wedding planner/coordinator are by far more comfortable, relaxed, and able to enjoy their big day more. Once Upon A Happy Ending can do that for you.
