Cara Tollefson was a Perfect Fit!!

Cara responded quickly after I placed the request for her via Minnesota Officiants. We were able to do a Zoom call to get to know her and share a bit of ourselves with her. She is creative, kind and responsive. I had a few last minute changes and she pivoted with ease.

Cara Tollefson was amazing!

Cara was very prompt not only in her responses, but in showing up on the day of the ceremony. She was very professional, but also cery geniune throughout the whole process. She is just as excited to marry you as you are to get married. We loved her and we were very glad to have her with us on our special day.

Jill Was the Perfect Officiant – Highly Recommend!

Working with Jill was a wonderful experience from start to finish. She was friendly, professional, and helped guide us through every step of planning our ceremony, making the entire process feel easy and organized. On our wedding day, she was calm, prepared, and delivered a beautiful ceremony that felt personal and meaningful. We are so grateful to have had her as our officiant and would highly recommend her to any couple looking for someone who is both professional and genuinely enjoyable to work with.

The most unique & personal ceremony with Jill Englund

I can’t even count the number of compliments we received on our ceremony. Many of our loved ones said it was the most personal, unique ceremony they have ever been to, and that is all thanks to Jill.

Jill helped us navigate and blend so many different wishes for our wedding ceremony, like balancing religious and non-religious elements. My husband’s family is Spanish-speaking, and Jill helped us infuse some bilingual elements into our ceremony, as well — even learning some Spanish herself for our vows! At her suggestion, we honored both of our parents with a rose in honor of their longstanding marriages, and that was one of the most special parts of the ceremony, very meaningful and unique. My most favorite part of the ceremony was the Love Story. Jill worked with us separately as we wrote out answers to some questions about our relationship, and then Jill fused our stories and told them in real-time during the ceremony, keeping our reflections private from each other until that moment. It was so touching and special, and felt so meaningfully true to our story. She nailed it!

It was incredibly helpful to have Jill present at our rehearsal the evening before. She was very efficient and took control of our chatty bridal party of 16 people, ensuring we ran through every detail and felt prepared for the wedding day. Throughout the entire planning process, whether via Zoom or email, she helped my husband and I feel at ease and understood. Jill has a special gift, and we are so grateful that she shared it with us. I could not have imagined a more perfect ceremony.

Amazing Officiant

We looked on Minnesota Officiants and chose Jill Englund. I'm sure other officiants are great, but we had to have gotten the best. We consider ourselves very lucky getting Jill. She was professional above all else, but also veeeeery personable. Everyone at our wedding commented on how great she was. Jill will work with whatever kind of wedding you want to have. We couldn't have had a better officiant.

Cara Tollefson is awesome!

We were lucky to be paired with Cara Tollefson as our officiant, and she was absolutely amazing! Our wedding venue recommended a site to find an officiant, and after filling out our info, we were matched with Cara—and we’re so glad we were.

We were a little stressed since we hired her just two months before the wedding, but Cara made everything so smooth and easy. Her emails and planning documents were super detailed and helped guide us every step of the way.

At the rehearsal, she made the process simple for my family—even with a big wedding party and lots of people walking down the aisle. She kept everything calm and organized.

If you're looking for a smooth, stress-free experience, I highly recommend hiring Cara Tollefson as your officiant. She’s a true professional and so easy to work with!

Cara car is full of joy and enthusiasm! Before the wedding, she will keep you informed on things that have to be done to make your service smooth and worry, free.

Jill was amazing!

My husband and I wanted a small intimate ceremony and we found Jill online. We met with her via Zoom and really liked her energy. We each sent her our own "love story" and she compiled them for our ceremony. It was so special to hear my husband's perspective on our wedding day. Jill was easy to talk to, very comfortable to be around, and did an amazing job of putting together a special, personalized ceremony for us. We couldn't have asked for anything better!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
