Absolutely WONDERFUL! What a blessing.

Wow, where do I begin? Michele was absolutely amazing, she was extremely accommodating, professional, sweet and CARING. I was so nervous the day of my wedding, but she truly went above and beyond to make the experience SO beautiful and smooth! Especially when she did our vows, my fiancé and I were so touched. From my perspective, I believe it takes a true genuine person with a kind soul and spirit to be an officiant and that is Michele! There is absolutely no one like her, I am so blessed our paths crossed. I will forever be grateful for your kindness, Michele. You are amazing. If anyone is looking for an officiant, look no further, Michele is the best.

Warmest regards,
Ashley & Silvio

Amazing Job!

We reached out for a very short and sweet ceremony and met Jacqueline! She was professional and kind. Understood that neither myself or my fiancee wanted to be the center of attention for a long period of time. She wrote us one of the most beautiful scripts that encompassed our love story and all the important things you need to actually get married! She made the process seemless. I never felt confused or anxious. A great experience and I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you for an amazing day!

Jacqueline was amazing!

We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. From our first meeting, it was clear jacqueline genuinely wanted to get to know us as a couple — our story, our humor, the little details! :) She spent a lot of time on a zoom with us and was very flexible around our work calendars.

That care showed on our wedding day: the ceremony felt like it was written just for us, not a generic script. Guests came up to us afterward thinking she was a family member! Exactly what we wanted.

Best Officiants Ever

Funny enough, I have been married by both Michelle and Jacqueline… to the same wonderful man! I found him on the other side of the planet (South Africa) and we did the K1 visa, which, as in the show, really does mean you must get married within 90 days of your fiancé’s arrival! Unfortunately, that makes wedding planning quite difficult unless you want to rush and stress. Instead, we celebrated in the most intimate, special way only with immediate family, and Michelle was such a delight to work with from beginning to end. She truly got to know us and our story beforehand, and gave us the most beautiful ceremony imaginable. Fast forward a year, we celebrated in a big way with all our dearest family and friends. It turned out Michelle was already booked that day, but she referred us to the equally incredible other half of her dynamic duo, Jaqueline! Once again, she didspoke with us at length before, learned everything about what makes our love so true and strong, and could not have given us a more perfect ceremony. We cannot thank these two enough! 100000% recommend LI Officient 💖

The Ceremony of our Dreams!

Jacqueline was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. From our first Zoom meeting, she took the time to really get to know us by listening to how we first met, how we feel about each other, and all the little details of our love story. From that conversation, she created a ceremony script that was simply perfect. She captured exactly how we feel about one another without us needing to explain everything in detail. The way she explained our love seemed as though she knew us in real life, which was very impressive to me! Jacqueline gave us full control over the script and allowed us the freedom to change anything we wanted, but honestly, it was perfect from the beginning and needed little to no changes.

Her talent for writing and storytelling is truly a gift. She has such expertise in this field and, just by watching us interact, she was able to craft words that felt so authentically “us.” Jacqueline helped make our ceremony that more special by sharing our story in her warm, fun-loving tone - which had most of our guests emotional! (She will share your story in whatever tone you would like. We picked a fun loving vibe!)

And Jacqueline didn’t just deliver a beautiful ceremony that I will be reliving in my head forever, but she took care of every little detail that made the day run smoothly. She came to the venue early to introduce herself to the maître d’, test the sound system, and practice the handoff between my dad and my husband. She coached our best man on when to present the rings, made sure only immediate family sat in the first row, reminded us to hold hands and look into each other’s eyes throughout the ceremony for great photos, and even told us to hold our first kiss longer than what feels natural so she could step aside for the perfect photo. She made sure I had my bouquet in hand before walking back down the aisle — these are the small but meaningful touches you might never think of if a family member was officiating.

Oh and let’s not forget! She also handled one of the most important details - our marriage license! Jacqueline made sure our witnesses signed and then mailed our license via certified mail so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. That peace of mind allowed us to relax and enjoy our wedding and honeymoon knowing everything was taken care of. And that we were actually legally married in the state of NY!

I cannot wait to recommend her wholeheartedly to my future friends who need an officiant. I honestly wish we could relive it all over again just to stand up there and hear her read that beautiful script once more. She truly made our wedding day unforgettable!

Jacqueline Brehm - LI Officiant

We cannot recommend Jacqueline Brehm enough! From the first meeting over Zoom, she made us feel comfortable and took the time to get to know us and our story. The ceremony was perfect - personal, heartfelt and beautifully balanced with the right touch of humor and warmth. We received so many compliments from our guests about her as well! Jacqueline guided us through the entire process with ease, helped us with vows and kept us calm and present on such an emotional day. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jacqueline provided great communication throughout the booking and my husband and I throughly enjoyed the hour connection phone call, Jacqueline asked great questions to get to know us to write our story. For the day of our wedding she met us a half hour before the ceremony to go over what to expect, it’s exactly what we needed. We asked for a “short and sweet ceremony” and she captured our love story so well, our friends and family are still talking about it. She also mailed our marriage license for us which was one less thing to think about! My husband and I are extremely pleased with Jacqueline’s professionalism.

The perfect officiant!

I cannot recommend Michele enough. From the moment my husband and I had our first meeting with her we felt so comfortable and confident that she should be our officiant. Michele is professional, kind, a great listener, and passionate about what she does. She helped walk us through everything and gave us great ideas on how to make the ceremony authentic to us. It's clear how much Michele cares about her clients. She is always available for any questions- and always responds in a timely manner. She really took the time to know our love story and us as individuals. It showed on our wedding day when each one of our guests remarked how incredible she was, how she did an incredible job conveying our story in such a beautiful way. She submitted our marriage certificate right away and it was great not having to worry about submitting that paperwork after all the stress of planning a wedding!
We are so grateful that Michele was our officiant!

Wedding officiant LI

Jacqueline was our officiant for our wedding day, and the ceremony went amazing! She made us feel comfortable since our first zoom call meeting, and of course the day of our ceremony. She also took the time to get to know us and know our true love story and that’s what you want day of your wedding. You want your guest to tell you in person how much they enjoyed hearing your love story that’s the feedback we kept getting during our wedding day. And it felt great knowing we were able to have someone so great put it all together for us for our special day. Pick Jacqueline she is amazingly great for your special day!
