My husband and I used Jess's officiant services for our Yosemite elopement and she was such a joy to work with. It is so evident that she loves what she does and truly cares about creating a meaningful, memorable ceremony. She is very mindful with her planning process and does lots of communicating to ensure she gets to know you as a couple and that your ceremony is exactly as you want it to be. To give you a peek into the type of person she is: one month out from our elopement, we had to shift locations from Taft Point to Glacier Point due to an injury I sustained. A couple weeks before our elopement, I received an unexpected FaceTime call from Jess, who was at Glacier Point for another wedding. She told me that she wanted me to see how beautiful the setting was and to reassure me that even though we had to switch gears, it would still be a gorgeous site for a ceremony. So above and beyond anything I would have expected from someone in her position. She gave us a wonderful ceremony and we are so grateful to have booked her!

We said Yes to Jess! She has been so wonderful to work with. She spent an hour and a half on zoom over many days getting to know us and our story while letting us in on her background and experience. Jess is so genuine and cares about people and their well-being. She gives you that, 'known you her whole life' feeling. She was happy to listen to the theme and mood of our wedding and express to me that she is flexible with what we are going for on our special day! We highly recommend Jess, she made our wedding ceremony perfect!!

We met Jessie at a local wedding expo, and my now-husband and I felt an immediate connection with her. After a discussion about the services she offered, we did a lap around the expo to discuss our thoughts and both agreed Jessie felt like the right fit for our wedding. We immediately returned and booked her for our desired date, which was the first reservation we made for our wedding (even before the venue!). I am so glad we did!
Jessie has been amazing to work with. She is so kind and communicative. She wrote us a beautiful ceremony that really fit us and our wants. She gave great options for things that we could include in the ceremony if we wanted and even created a special hand blessing for us based on a different tradition we had mentioned we thought was cool. I loved that she kept some of the ceremony script a surprise until the ceremony itself as it made it feel even more special and impactful to me.
We invited Jessie to stay for the remainder of our wedding, and she fit right in with our family and friends. She added a lot of positive energy and love to a magical day. Our guests all loved her and made many positive comments about her ceremony and her as a person.
In addition to officiating, we also asked Jessie to lead a morning yoga class on the morning of the wedding. Again, we are so happy we did! I enjoy yoga but don't do it as frequently as I should, and I was on the fence about attending because I was starting to get stressed about wedding logistics. I decided to go, and it was exactly what I needed. Her class was appropriate for all levels, so I didn't feel pressured to do something that was too difficult. Those who are more advanced had options to do things at their level too. After I felt so calm and ready to take on anything that came my way, which significantly helped with my ability to be in the moment for the wedding and let go of control of all the logistics (something I struggle with). All our family in attendance loved the class, including my Mother In Law that is a yoga teacher herself. If you are considering taking her class or having her lead one at your event, do it!
We also have been working with Jessie on resilient relationship coaching. It has been very helpful so far in deepening our understanding of each other, supporting each others personal growth, and improving the communication issues we have struggled with over the years. It can be very hard for me to be vulnerable in front of others, but Jessie creates a loving and accepting space that makes it possible to be open and honest in our sessions. Since we are not in the area, we have been able to do the sessions via Zoom, which has been very convenient.
Our experience with Jessie has been very positive and we would both highly recommend her to anyone looking for officiating, coaching, or yoga. In fact, I have already recommended her coaching to a family member.
