Great Experience!

We are so happy that we chose Jamie to officiate our wedding. From the beginning she was professional, kind and listened to what we wanted. We met with her once in person and then communicated over email from there. She provided us a template to give us a starting point for our ceremony readings and was very responsive to our additional questions. We made changes to our ceremony readings up until the week of our wedding. On the day of our wedding Jamie arrived dressed nicely and the ceremony went just how we expected! I would definitely recommend Jamie!

Jamie helped us by calming our nerves, making sure we knew how the ceremony would go. She listened to how we wanted our vows, and ceremony. We had a great day, it started out rainy and gloomy then turned into a perfectly sunny day.
