About

Being born with the last name of Love, and having a passion for weddings (I am a retired wedding photographer), I am blessed to be in a position to marry couples from all walks of life.

I create personalized ceremonies that each couple builds together through menu selections. This removes the stress of writing and/or reciting their own vows while allowing them an opportunity to be fully involved in every aspect of their ceremony. I keep it simple. I have three ceremony packages. Only one includes the rehearsal. Pricing and information is available here under the pricing tab.

I truly love what I do. I've been available to marry couples on a 24-hour notice! I've married couples right after a hurricane down South barefoot standing in two inches of water, in October in Michigan in the pouring rain during a storm that took the tent down with me still in it, in gorgeous venues, in fields with hay bales; wherever love is ready to take the next step of the journey, I'm there! I am located in Pinckney and service Brighton, Howell, Dexter, Ann Arbor, Detroit, and the entire surrounding areas.

Jill made the wedding the way we wanted it.

Jill helps you get the wedding you want. Not only in the ceremony, having all kinds of suggestions, she goes above and beyond. Gives all kinds of suggestions in areas that you are not only sure of, areas you didn't think of. Consider her for your wedding planning also.

Beautiful!

Jill was wonderful! We had a countless number of guest complement her on the ceremony & we loved her as well. A few even asked for her contact information for future weddings. She was great to work with, responded quickly, and didn’t mind making some changes at last minute. :) Thanks Jill!!

My husband and I wanted something specific to us for our wedding. Not just the traditional do you take this woman/man. I met with Jill and told her about us and what we were looking for. Not only was she extremely flexible with dates and times but she completely hit our vows out of the park! I was enamored with her ability to describe and personalize our love for one another. Thank you so much Jill Love!!

Jill has been a dear friend for many years and having her a part of our special day was so great! She walked us through the ceremony step by step and really let us customize it to our personalities and beliefs. If there is one thing you can have worry-free during busy planning and the big day, Marry- Makers is it!!!

I found Jill from a recommendation from my wedding planner, Ana at TwoFoot Creative. Her pricing is pretty average for what we found for officiants, but I think she did a much better job than the officiants in most weddings I have seen. We had never met her prior to the rehearsal, but somehow it felt like she knew us. From the beginning, she was always a pleasure to communicate with; she is always pleasant and responds very quickly to emails. She creates a ceremony based on your preferences, which can be religious, spiritual, non-religious, etc. She really takes your preferences into account and creates a ceremony that is reflective of you. She did a beautiful job, and it was almost as if she had known us for years. Also, these things seem obvious, but she arrived really early to both events so that there was never any worry, and dressed appropriately and professionally. She also files the marriage for you afterward, which some officiants don't do. We were so thrilled with Jill, and if we had to go back and do everything over again, would choose her again in a heartbeat.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
