Jennifer is the kindest, most supportive wedding officiant you could ever want

My wife and I were referred to Jennifer by a contact at our wedding venue in Whitehouse Station. We spoke with her via Zoom for a good hour for our first meeting and as soon as the call ended, my now-wife and I looked at each other and said, "It's her!" Jennifer was a wonderful coach throughout our engagement, working with both of us on marriage preparation, which included support sessions as well as "assignments" and reflections. As my wife and I come from somewhat different faith traditions, Jennifer was patient and helpful when it came to sorting out the balance of what would be included in the ceremony and making sure both families' questions and concerns were all addressed in the planning phase.

Then came covid. The pandemic mothballed our wedding and when we told Jennifer we were simply going down to the courthouse to get the legal document, she was as enthusiastic as if she were still there in person—and she said she'd be there for us when/if we decided to eventually have our in-person wedding. It took two years to get to that big day in 2022, and even though there were no "legal" aspects to be arranged by the time of the party, we couldn't imagine not having Jennifer there with to perform the ceremony as we—at last—exchanged formal vows before family and friends. We've continued to keep in touch and think of Jennifer as our friend.

You could not hope for a more supportive, positive and professional wedding officiant than Jennifer. She was there every step of the way and even now continues to check in on the two of us long after the legal marriage event and party are far in the past. I cannot recommend her highly enough. You will be in great hands: spiritually, logistically, legally and supportively.

Thank you Jennifer, for everything :D

Vow Renewal of my dreams!

Rev. Jen is a true professional. From beginning to end, she was there with me every step of the way helping plot a surprise vow renewal for my husband (and I) in honor of our 10-year anniversary.

Our renewal was at the beach about 3 hours away from our home, so coordinating the logistics in advance was a bit tricky. But that did not faze Rev. Jen. She went with the flow, and remained open to all my suggestions.

Yet, above all else was our ceremony — the ritual itself was beautiful. Rev. Jen took such care in crafting a memorable and personalized event. She wove all the special aspects of our love story into every bit of our renewal, making it a truly cherished memory for us.

Thank you, Rev. Jen!

Pleased Beyond Words

So easy to write about our experience with Jennifer! From the moment we met her here in our home to develop our upcoming wedding ceremony, we couldn't have been more pleased with her as our choice to officiate our marriage. She guided us through the process with ease, making each decision fun and meaningful at the same time. She asked us to answer a questionnaire, which was incorporated into the ceremony, making it extremely personal. This was no "cookie cutter" ceremony, and all of the attendees were gushing about how wonderful it was. As for us, we are still smiling and thinking about how perfect our wedding was! We would recommend Jennifer to anyone searching for the perfect officiant for their marriage ceremony.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
