We hired JoAnn to officiate our wedding because we wanted to have a non-religious ceremony and her script was just beautiful. We interviewed her in advance and didn't pick up on any negative attributes. However, we were dismayed at her lack of professionalism at our rehearsal and ceremony. At our rehearsal she was very bossy, insensitive to the event being a special occassion, and was almost vulgar. Almost everyone who attended the rehearsal later commented on how unprofessional she acted. The next day at our ceremony she read her script fine but seemed unprepared for how her actions were to function in correlation with other events, such as music timing and sound equipment. She failed to prepare adequately at the rehearsal and she did not remember the instructions we'd given her surrounding these details. In the end, we think visiting her website to view her ceremony script is worthwhile, but find someone else to present it.
