    Thank you, Janet!

    Janet spent a long time helping us perfect our ceremony so it was true to our values and vision. We made many drafts and ended up with a truly perfect ceremony! On the day of the ceremony, Janet was professional and adaptable and prepared. She brought copies of the ceremony and made sure everything went smoothly. Thank you, Janet!

    Janet was amazing and so Sweet!

    Janet helped guide us with the ceremony and all of the steps before and after our wedding. She took her time to read our story on the Knot and made us feel so comfortable with her. My husband and I are so glad we chose her to be our Officiant!

    Amazing officiant

    Janet was the perfect officiant for our wedding. She was incredibly responsive via email, she even provided worksheets to help us with our vows.

    Worth every penny!

    My husband and I first met Janet at our friends wedding four and a half years ago. We knew then that she would be a perfect fit for our own wedding someday and she really was. She is just as amazing then as she is now. Super kind, friendly, and communicative. The thing that we loved the most and many other people at our wedding also complemented her on was her ability to speak very clearly in both Spanish and English. She truly made our wedding ceremony so memorable and special.

    Best Ceremonies's reply:

    Thank you so much Katie for your kind and thoughtful words! It's wonderful to know you and all your guests really enjoyed your wedding. It was such a joy to be with you all. May the best blessings of happiness and love surround you both always!

    A wonderful and amazing experience

    Our officiant cancelled on us last minute and we were able to book Janet last minute. She was extremely flexible with us and super helpful when it came to doing our wedding in both English and Spanish. I was extremely grateful to have an officiant that was able to perform a beautiful ceremony for us that everyone could enjoy.

    Oh Isabelle thank you so very much for your kind review. I just love ❤️ bilingual English Spanish weddings and yours was so absolutely beautiful.

    A delight on our big day.

    Janet was an absolute delight; responsive in the lead up to our big day, then a wonderful support through our small, pandemic-centric ceremony, which she conducted with a warmth and care that made her feel part of the family.

    Best Ceremonies's reply:

    Oh Ryan, thank you so very much for a kind and thoughtful review. You have such a wonderful community of family and friends that's easy to snuggle into the warmth and love you all share. The very best to you and Ryan always!!

    So accommodating!

    Janet was great. We threw her for a loop with our wild bunch and plans to take a shot at the ceremony and she handled it well. She was very helpful and informative on how everything was going to go. Always responded very quick to emails. She is so sweet and already knew to get out of the way before our first kiss without me having to ask at rehearsal. We really enjoyed having her.

    Best Ceremonies's reply:

    Oh Avery, thank you so much for your kind words! Your wedding was just AMAZING. You all looked so FABULOUS!! And I will never forget your stepdad's wonderfully creative Lemon Drop mix at your ceremony. What great friends and family! WOW!!!

    The best ceremony I could have ever wished for.

    Janet Westall is like an old friend the moment you meet her. She is warm, caring and was so attentive to what we wanted.
    My husband and I were married, and then divorced decades ago. But we found our way back to each other. When we decided to remarry, we chose our original wedding date to have the ceremony. It was more like a reconfirmation of our vows. We didn't want to have the big ceremony like we had before, so we decided it would be a surprise wedding. We had just bought a house so we told everyone it was a house warming party. Janet Westall played along so perfectly. I introduced her to people as a friend and she blended right into the party - that is until she announced that we were getting married - again - right then! Everyone was confused, at first, then so surprised and happy for us. We are both of Irish decent and wanted to incorporate an old Irish tradition into our ceremony. We had a basket of stones and everyone chose one, not knowing why. Janet then explained that they were now a part of our marriage and would support us like family. Each person then made a wish for us, pressing it into their stone and then the stones were collected from each of them and sit in an honored spot in our home. I think that some of the most priceless moments of the ceremony was when she would reiterate the "getting married, again" point of the vows. Everyone was laughing and crying tears of joy for us. Janet couldn't have done more - she was perfect.

    Best Ceremonies's reply:

    Thank you so much Bettie! I was so touched by your thoughtfulness in sharing all the wonderful feelings of this amazing day. I shall always remember all the joy as your guests surrounded you with their excitement and love. Hugs to you both!!
