Perfection x2

Jess was the officiant for my husband and I's "COVID" wedding and full wedding celebration later as well. She was so kind and professional and super responsive to communication. She wrote our ceremony based on very vague prompts and delivered such a heartfelt, unique, personalized ceremony that caught us off guard with how perfect, funny, and "us" it all was. All our guests told us afterwards how moved they were by her words. Jess, we can't thank you enough for being part of our day and making is absolutely perfect...twice! Thank you again
