Wonderful officiating by Joanna

Joanna officiated at our wedding on October 12 2025. Put simply, Joanna was outstanding. She guided us through the process, drafted a wonderful summary of our relationship for the service, and delivered it with energy and empathy. Joanna responded to our questions promptly and provided helpful materials for us to draw upon as we considered how to integrate our family members into the service, and what to include in our vows. Many of our guests remarked on how moving they found the service to be; Joanna deserves much of the credit. Overall, we are just delighted that Joanna served as our officiant.

Amazing Officiant Who is Certified in VA!

We are so glad we hired Joanna to be our officiant for our September 14, 2024 wedding! We received so many compliments on our ceremony and that's largely due to Joanna's ability to capture our love story and truly have it at the heart of our ceremony - I don't think there was a dry eye in the house! Joanna met with us a couple of times and was very receptive to our feedback and ideas surrounding the ceremony. She also took care of sending of signing and sending our marriage license back to the court, which was so nice to not have another thing to worry about! Hire Joanna to officiate your ceremony - you won't regret it!
