Ceremonial Union
After almost 8 years of being together we decided in September to take next step and commit to one another. One day we will take the next step and get married.
Janette was available whenever needed to speak about plans for the ceremony and we only gave a short notice request. She kept in touch, communication and helped plan our Ceremony. It was very simple and private which is what we wanted.
We had a total of 4 people who were present including myself and partner. She provided a witness per our request. The witness was very kind as we were going to prop up our camcorder on the chair but due to my medical issues didn't provide them. We were originally going to have the Ceremony at one beach but due to dredging the beach that day it was not available at the time we needed. Janette and her witness suggested another location very close to there and it all worked out.
I would very much recommend Janette. 🥰 She was like an old friend who wanted to make our day special. Her script was beautiful and she provided before the ceremony to make sure we approved especially since we didn't need any pre rehearsal dinner or breakfast. Thank you for making our special day wonderful and including a wonderful prayer and our exchanging of vows. Our exchange of rings was very memorable. 💖🫠🙏.
Say YES to Say Yes
From the very beginning, she made us feel welcome, supported, and completely at ease, even from across the country. Not only did she help guide us through the ceremony planning, but she also went above and beyond by sharing some amazing honeymoon recommendations based on her own experiences.
We’re so happy we chose Say Yes and even happier that Janette was part of our special day.
