The Most Wonderful Person Ever

Finding Renee was such a blessing for us! She is truly one of the kindest people I have met. After talking with her on the phone, it took us less than 5 seconds to decide to go with her as our officiant. It really was a no-brainer. She is everything we were hoping for in an officiant - kind, compassionate, and someone who puts in 100% effort in writing our ceremony. Later on in the planning process, we met up with her at a coffee shop so she could get to know us better. It really showed when she officiated our wedding - the words she wrote were so beautiful and felt so us. Everything was so thoughtful. She is truly a gem and we are so thankful she married us.

Absolutely amazing

AMAZING! Renee was the epitome of a perfect officiant. She is sweet, kind, & easy to talk to. She not only made planning the ceremony a simple process but she completely personalized it in a total of 2 meetings. We spoke on the phone with her to get a feeling of who she is as a person & clicked immediately - it was like talking to a good friend or your mom. We went to her office which is cozy & inviting to discuss the ceremony. She took into account our ideas, wishes, & religious beliefs. For us, she made a personalized romantic ceremony with traditional & religious aspects. She’s very flexible in her ceremony styles & wants to make sure they fit the couple. She gave us a book with questions to fill out (which gave her an idea of who we are & what to say in the ceremony) & ideas for readings, prayers, poems, etc. We met again to discuss the ceremony outline, vows. readings, & details. However, the bulk of what she wrote to say was a surprise to us & it was PERFECT. We could not be more thrilled with our ceremony -it was by far the best part of our day & the easiest to plan. She also typed everything into a bound book which she read out of during the ceremony & then we got to keep afterwards as a momento so we can always reread it. Renee made us feel so comfortable & really captured our love. She is the sweetest person & someone we loved getting to know. We truly admire her & highly recommend!!!

The best officiant

Renee officiated our wedding on September 27, 2019. We contacted her after a long online search during out wedding planning and immediately knew she was the right officiant for us. During our initial phone conversation, Renee made perfectly clear that she wanted us to feel a connection with her. She told us she would rather we give the business to someone else than to hire her without feeling this connection. This is truly what sold us. Renee met with us several times prior to the ceremony which we really enjoyed. She spent a great deal of time getting to know us both individually and as a couple. It felt like we had known her for years even after only the first in-person meeting. Renee also had us complete a journal about our common values, hopes for the future and overall relationship. It was a nice way to connect during the wedding planning process which can be rather stressful. The night before our wedding, Renee joined us at our home with our wedding party to run through the ceremony. She made the process easy and fun for our large (and sometimes loud) family. She was patient with everyone and made sure we all felt comfortable. Finally, the day of the wedding, Renee performed the most beautiful ceremony we could have hoped for. It was the perfect mix of funny, sentimental and spiritual. We continue to get compliments on how wonderful it was. She really captured our relationship and highlighted everything we wanted to focus on. We would recommend Renee to anyone looking for a special, kind and thoughtful officiant. Renee focuses on her clients and makes sure to give them the ceremony they want. She is easy to contact and really was the best person to work with. Thank you Renee!!

She is the Best!

Renee is amazing! She is knowledgable, helpful and such a lovely person! She encouraged us to make the ceremony our own and helped up brainstorm ideas. She was very communicative and really wanted to get to know us to make our ceremony personal and special. Her calming nature was so welcome during the ceremony and she did a beautiful job making it light and fun while still doing it the justice the occasion deserved. I honestly can't say enough wonderful things about Renee and would HIGHLY recommend her!

Personal, Spiritual, Professional, and Wonderful!

Where do we even begin...Renee was absolutely amazing from beginning to end! We had a relatively long search for the perfect officiant for our wedding. We are both Catholic, but for logistical reasons made the decision to get married at our venue. We still wanted a semi-traditional Catholic ceremony, but with personal elements. Once we met Renee, we knew we had met the perfect person for just that! She helped guide us through selecting readings (lookup the “blessing of the hands” if you haven’t already, not a dry eye during it), and took the time to get to know us. She had us fill out these handmade journals, which she gave back to us at our rehearsal. The journals were a really sweet reminder of all the reasons we fell in love and what we wanted from our life together. Renee really was our calming force throughout the entire wedding planning process. There were times we just checked in with her, because she had a way of centering us. Right down to the day of the wedding itself, she was flawless and I cannot tell you how many compliments we continue to receive on our ceremony. She also made another book of our ceremony and gave us as a keepsake. If you are looking for a personal, spiritual, and all around wonderful officiant, then look no further. You will definitely be happy and amazed by Renee.

Renee, we cannot thank you enough!

Renee was an absolute pleasure to work with! My husband and I were both comfortable around her which is extremely important. She had us come to her house and had a delicious little breakfast spread. Right away we felt at home. Renee has the ability to not only make you comfortable but open you right up. She spent time in getting to know us and our relationship. She had us fill out journals which was really beautiful because she used certain things in the ceremony. Our ceremony was beautiful and ALL of our guests said it was so personal and beautiful. If you want a kind JP who is going to listen to you and care for your needs Renee is the way to go!!!

We are so fortunate to have come across Renee one day as we were perusing the internet looking for a Justice of the Peace to do our wedding ceremony in our July 2017 wedding. After reading reviews and watching a few videos of her ceremonies, we were hooked. We contacted her via email and she responded quickly to set up a meeting. Since there was quite a distance between our two homes, we met for coffee one evening and had a relaxed discussion about our relationship and lives together. By the end of the hour we spent with her, we felt ready to hire her as our Justice of the Peace. She encouraged us to take our time with the process since she was our first interview with any Justice of the Peace, but we just knew that she was the right one for us.

During our planning process, she provided us with ample resources related to ceremony readings and vows. As we finalized the details of our ceremony, Renee provided us the unique idea of adding a symbolic aspect to our ceremony. We loved her idea as we felt it was unique and represented us as a couple. She led us through the planning and rehearsal process with poise and reassurance. Her excitement about our wedding day was evident in all she did.

On the day of our wedding, the ceremony was executed flawlessly. Her ceremony truly spoke to our strengths as a couple and captured us so beautifully. We received many compliments from our family and friends on how wonderful the ceremony was. Throughout the process, one of the most meaningful experiences Renee provided to us was the opportunity to complete individual handmade journals with questions about our relationship. It was clear that she took the time to thoroughly read each of our journals and used them to form the basis of our ceremony. Thank you, Renee, for a truly PERFECT ceremony!

Renee is the sweetest and kindest woman. I cannot write enough positive things about how understanding and respectful she was of how we wanted our ceremony to be. She has the most calming demeanor and it was so comforting to have her officiate our ceremony. She had us write journals beforehand, and they not only helped her write our ceremony, but they also got both my now-husband and I excited for the big day ahead.

Renee was absolutely amazing!! I honestly can't say enough good things about how wonderful she was. From the first second we met with her we felt incredibly comfortable and knew she was the right fit for us. Renee has an extremely warm and sweet air about her. She gave us handmade journals with questions for us to answer so she could get to know us better, which she gave back to us along with a printed copy of our ceremony - all of which are amazing keepsakes. The ceremony was perfect, exactly what we asked her for. She is very professional and worked very well with our day of coordinator. I really truly can't express how wonderful Renee is.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
