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!

Jaime was amazing to work with!

She responded to my request quickly and was able to sit down with my fiance and me to talk about exactly what we were envisioning our ceremony to be. She sent us popular readings to assist us in finding what worked best for us a couple. She sent the entire ceremony to us beforehand to read and proof, allowing us to make changes until the day of.

She was extremely kind and professional. She helped make our celebration perfect and one we'll never forget! Thank you Jaime!!!

Jaime is fantastic! We had an idea of what we wanted our ceremony to be like and she was great at providing ideas and filling in what we were unsure of in a collaborative manner. You can tell that she puts a lot of thought and effort into the planning process and she wholeheartedly gets to know who you are as a couple and make that come to life with how she writes the ceremony. She's very personable and we are so grateful that she was able to contribute to our perfect wedding day! Our friends and family gave us lots of compliments on our ceremony!

I'm not planning to get married again any time soon, but if I were, I'd definitely ask her to officiate!

It really comes down to what the couple wants for their wedding. Jaime is able to do so many different styles of weddings that she can really accommodate what you are looking for. We weren't 100% sure what we wanted for our officiant and she was really able to help us narrow that down. Also, she works with you all the way in order to make sure that you are comfortable with how the big day is going to go. Would recommend her for any style of wedding that you are having.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
