Wedding Ceromony

It was a pleasure working with Jeannie, before the ceremony I was nervous! she mad sure I was comfortable during the process. My husband and I are extremely grateful for Jeannie. she's funny and made us both feel at ease and comfortable, she even stayed a little bit with us after the ceremony to make sure everything was okay. Jeannie made us feel right at home working with her, she was flexible and very understanding with time management. Jeannie and her assistant were very commuincative and kind.

Wedding officiant

Jeannie was so helpful from the get go, she gave insite and helped us prepare going into our big day. Everyone who attended our wedding stated it was the most unique wedding they have ever been to with how it was ran and I give all the thanks to Jeannie. She gave us everything we wanted and advocated for us on our needs. We are so thankful for finding Jeannie!

She is so sweet!

Jeannie is amazing! She was super sweet and detailed about how the ceremony would work. She constantly checked in to see how we were feeling and what we needed to make everything go exactly as we wanted. She even helped calm my nerves with words of wisdom. She is truly incredible.

We loved her

I had NO clue how to hire an officiant but I had 2 jobs and had to get it right for the sake of peace. I started calling around and they were just weird phone calls. No emotion. I called the woman who runs our venue and asked her if she had any officiant with emotion and that cared about their job. She said I would call Jeannie Walton and only Jeannie Walton. You will love her. I was blown away. She asked me so many smart questions and taught me so much. I knew right away that Ieshia would love her. We met that week, she described the wedding perfectly we understood everything and loved it. Ieshia said I get it and I can now breathe!! Jeannie then told us about other things we would never have known. The summer before our wedding we went to about 10 micro weddings with family and friends and we really wanted ours to stand out. Jeannie started throwing out ideas and WE were so excited we chose everything for our wedding and chose our processional right then and there. It was fun and what a relief for both of us. We knew the ceremony was great. A few of my buddies were tearing up. It was more than we could every ask for. Thank you Jeannie and sorry this is late !!!!!

Do not hesitate She does a phenomenal job teaching and with the ceremony

Searching for an officiant was interesting. We got a lot of what is your date, I am open this is how much it is and if you want information please fill out the form on my website. Then my fiance' called Jeannie at Walton Weddings. The first things she asked is do you have time to talk? She asked about us, asked if we had any thoughts about our ceremony then lovingly spent time teaching him about what he wanted to know and more. HE CALLED ME AND SAID I HAVE THE ONE! We had so much fun learning. She made us feel normal. I am not a planner and was having a very hard time. Once we talked I felt confident with our ceremony and planning. We had an amazing day and ceremony. It was perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful Great job I enjoyed myself

Jeannie was the best. I wanted to relax and enjoy my wedding and I did. I loved the planning tips she gave me so I could relax. The ceremony was amazing, I could not have dreamed of anything different. My parents and in laws loved it and we got so many compliments. My cousin is going to hire Jeannie. I would have paid more if she wanted it as everything was worth 10x's what she gave us. I was in a lot of weddings and never did I experience the care she showed!! Thank you Jeannie

AMAZING gave us great ideas made it easy, explained a lot

Our wedding was in 2021, Jeannie told us in the beginning she would not ask for a review because of Covid. I just looked at our wedding pictures and was overwhelmed with happiness and thought I have to write this. I am a groom. It was my job to find an officiant. I called 4 men and 1-woman officiants and was not excited. Some of the prices were doubled what we paid but more importantly I felt like I was a customer. I then called Jeannie and she was warm, engaging, caring and asked me if I had time to talk. We talked for an hour. During this time, I was blown away. Jeannie really cared and was interested in us and teaching me as a groom who gets nervous to feel confident. She asked about my parents and grandmother and suggested I could walk with my parents and walk back down the aisle to walk my grandmother who I call my girl. I know grandma will not be around forever and I wanted everyone to know what a great woman she is. My fiancé wanted a first look, and I thought it was stupid. Jeannie explained the difference of a first look and not having a first look so I could make an informed decision. Once she explained I said I am doing it. By the way our first look was FANTASTIC I am not a crier and I cried. I was overwhelmed with love and thankfulness. Jeannie explained what would happen at the rehearsal and I felt better immediately. I felt safe and that we could enjoy the wedding and trust her. That meant a lot to me as we both are supervisors at work in busy fields and I wanted to relax. Our wedding rehearsal was great, Jeannie explained everything. There are things she does that I did not see at my siblings' weddings. These little touches were special. I was at peace, and I could sleep that night and the following. Our wedding day went perfectly. We got so many compliments. It could not have gone better. We just both felt like we were floating. Jeannie had it all under control. Since no one knows me on here I will say I have a difficult sister and my wife's mom can be very difficult. We talked to Jeannie about this, and she gave us suggestions on how to handle them. It was a relief. The day of the wedding Jeannie was sure to talk to them both and compliment them and give them some attention and it worked like a charm There are so many things that go on when planning a wedding and some of it is super stressful. Jeannie helped us understand what would happen that day, talked to us about the timeline so we understood why each thing was so important. Again, since you do not know me, I will tell you when my friends were married the guys would say I am not helping this is her job. When we talked to Jeannie, she explained how to reduce stress, work as a team and be done 6 weeks in advance. As a supervisor at work, it all clicked. I better get it together and help where before I was saying let's go out to lunch or dinner, we can do it later.
We highly recommend Jeannie!!! We also needed a photographer and DJ. The vendors she gave us were also outstanding. Our day turned out so well. Even now when I think about it, I just get emotional.
Jeannie thank you for caring about us and making our memory of our wedding ceremony perfect for us. We are referring you to friends and hope to see you next year at their wedding!

Incredible

Hiring Jeannie was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!! From the first conversation to the wedding day, she was the most professional, helpful, and organized person we dealt with the entire time (and there were a lot of people and vendors we dealt with who were not). She was kind, funny, and made the experience so enjoyable! She also stepped up and dealt with difficult people when needed. I could not recommend her enough!! She also recommended our photographer and the photos came out great! Hire her! She will help make your day everything you want it to be!

Outgoing Officiant!

Jeannie officiated our wedding on 9.13.20 and was INCREDIBLE! She made the ceremony very intimate and even made my fiancé laugh! He was super nervous being in front of everyone, but her sense of humor and personality helped to ease that nervousness! Jeannie even interacted with our live stream for all of our friends and family who couldn't attend this ceremony. Jeannie will definitely be our officiant again in April and we're looking forward to it! She made the whole process organized and answered questions I had in a timely manner! I would definitely recommend her for any ceremony!
