Warm and professional

We are so thrilled with our experience with Joanna! She was able to create and share a ceremony that felt extremely personal to us, and also conveyed the importance of the occasion. We loved getting to share our love story with her. She was extremely professional along every step of the way; she was always prepared and handled logistics we did not even know to anticipate. I would recommend her highly to any couple!

Thorough, thoughtful and lovely to work with!

Joanna was fantastic to work with! We reached out just a few months before our wedding date and she was flexible in supporting exactly what we needed for our ceremony. She is thorough, responsive and takes great care with the legal documentation required for marriage (texted us a tracking number right after sending the license to the courthouse). On top of it all she is just a lovely person! I couldn't recommend her enough.

Wonderful Officiant

We found Joanna through our wedding planner and what a great recommendation she was. We didn’t really have a “vision” for the ceremony and didn’t have any particular family or cultural traditions to help determine the structure or order of things. Joanna explained her process, spent some time getting to know us, and provided some resources that were all truly helpful in coming up with a ceremony that was meaningful and fitting for us. Throughout the process she was thoughtful and responsive. During the weeding, Joanna’s was wonderful. Multiple guests commented on how warm and genuine her delivery was. And last, but not least, she was super helpful and efficient with the marriage license.
