Brittany Married on 06/25/2016The GOAT of all things marriage!
Jemelle is a MUST. She's progressive, responsive and SO MUCH fun! My favorite part about our pre-marital sessions was her raw honesty; there was no "winning." You and your partner are a team and Jemelle made sure to remind us both of that. She is encouraging and wholesome. For lack of a better way to put this- you're wasting your time if you're on the fence about reaching out to her. It's a no-brainer!The Modern Officiant's reply:
Wow! Thank you so much for this awesome review, Brittany!!! I had so much fun with you and Emily. Counseling with you definitely did NOT feel like work!!! -

"If we didn't already have an officiant, we would get her." That's an actual quote from one of our guests who got married two weeks after our ceremony. That tells of the awesomeness that is Jemelle. She got to know us (via counseling sessions) and sprinkled that knowledge throughout the nuptials. Her warmth, personality and words all lent themselves to the magic of the moment. I really can't say enough about her save - get her if you can!

I highly recommend The Modern Officiant to all of my clients. She writes and performs the most beautiful intimate ceremonies. I have seen her bring her clients to tears with the way she crafts ceremonies. Jemelle puts her clients at ease with her calming demeanor and gives her clients a beautiful day to remember.
