Jen was recommend to us from our coordinator, we had spoken to a few other officiants but once we started talking with Jen, we knew we found the perfect person to marry us. She has such a positive energy around her that made us feel very safe and calm. The time she took to get to know us as a couple meant a lot to us. Our ceremony was so personalized and unique to our relationship. She listened to our desires and helped make suggestions when we needed advice. The day of the wedding she smudged us and said a prayer which really helped focus and ground us before the ceremony. Everyone who attended our wedding was very touched with Jen's deliverance and we got a lot of positive feedback from our family. People said they learned more about our relationship from the ceremony and could see who we were as a couple being reflected. We are so happy with our decision to use Jen and we highly recommend her for anyone in need of an officiant.
Life Passages, Jen Paul's reply:
Thank you so much Diana and Michael! I loved how you included your family and that the smudging beforehand was so meaningful too. It was such a joy to be a part of your day at Red Agave Resort in Sedona.

Outstanding Officiant
Jen was very helpful with our small, intimate ceremony. She made everything relaxing and non-stressful. She’s very detail oriented so would make sure every last detail was thought of. My in-laws really liked her and made them feel special. She has a calm presence and truly cares about who she is marrying. She was worth every penny we paid her and we even tipped her for going above and beyond when she drove from Flagstaff in the terrible rain and still officiated it indoors. I would highly recommend her for anyone.

We loved Jen!
We are so happy we chose Jen as our wedding officiant! She was such a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She was very responsive from the time I first reached out and throughout the whole process of planning our ceremony. She took the time to get to know my husband and I and our story very well, and then crafted the most beautiful ceremony for us. It was everything we wanted for our ceremony and more! She added humor to keep us and our guests laughing, and then hit on all the sweet and sentimental moments which had us and our guests shedding a tear. The smudging and baby blessing she performed were beautiful additions and my favorite part of our ceremony. After our ceremony, she also provided us with a beautiful booklet of our whole ceremony written up which I will treasure forever! Jen brought such a positive and calming energy to our ceremony and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant on their big day!

Jen is amazing, she is very organized throughout the entire process and very helpful. We had a great wedding with Jen as our officiant. She also makes it as fun and detailed as possible to fill out all the information to help her write the wedding script. It was a great experience. I would highly recommend anyone looking to get eloped or having a wedding to use life passages.

Jen is incredible! Highly recommend!
Let us start by saying how incredible of a person Jen is and how much we appreciated her not only as our officiant on the day of our wedding, but also for the months leading up to our wedding as we completed premarital counseling sessions with her.
Premarital Sessions – We completed 5 sessions with Jen during the months leading up to our wedding day, and we highly recommend them! As a couple, we did not feel like we had any major concerns heading into our wedding in terms of our relationship. We have been together for 8 years and have discussed just about everything with each other. However, we wanted to feel a connection to our officiant, and we figured these sessions could be useful to simply receive feedback from an outside perspective. Jen exceeded our expectations! The questionnaires that she provided were very thought-provoking and helped us as a couple discuss topics that perhaps we had not thought of before. Jen truly took the time to read all our responses, which were quite lengthy! Her feedback and advice during our sessions was invaluable!
Officiating our Wedding – The ceremony that Jen wrote and put together for us was so personal and truly amazing. She provided questionnaires for us in advance to help her write our ceremony and she didn’t miss a single detail. She arrived early to both our rehearsal and ceremony even though she had a long drive from Flagstaff to Cottonwood. She was well organized, thorough, and clearly well prepared for our big day.
She was so in tune with the atmosphere that we were hoping to create during our ceremony and was very helpful for our rehearsal and the day of. She helped calm our nerves in anticipation of the ceremony beginning and made our friends and family feel so welcomed.
Overall, Jen made us feel so appreciated and special throughout the months leading up to our wedding and on the day of our wedding. When our big day came, numerous friends and family who attended our wedding also gave us compliments on how much they liked Jen and many even thought she was a part of our family or that we had known her for years.
Don’t look any further for a life cycle celebrant and specifically from our experience, a wedding officiant and pre-marital counselor. We highly recommend Jen, her premarital sessions that she offers, and her as a wedding officiant. We look forward to staying in contact with Jen as time moves on and will absolutely seek further services from her in the future!
Life Passages, Jen Paul's reply:
Thank you Braeden and Dayna! I'm so grateful for all of the time we spent together leading up to your wedding day. I'm thrilled that you benefited from the pre-marital sessions, especially after being together for eight years! I look forward to connecting in the near future as you continue your journey of marriage. Much love to you both

Jen Paul performed a vow renewal for my husband and I this past August and we were blown away, not just by her beautiful nature and warmth but also by how she “got” who we were and tailored the ceremony so perfectly. Jen is caring and compassionate and cares so deeply. Her warth and professionalism eased my mind and helped make the ceremony so care free. Basically all I needed to think about was showing up. Jen did the rest. She created such a beautiful, heart felt, memorable experience for us. She even included our daughter in the experience which meant made it even more special. I could go on and on. The ceremony was perfect and Jenn was such a magical part of our day.
Life Passages, Jen Paul's reply:
Oh my goodness Justine! It was so wonderful to be a part of your vow renewal at The Grand Canyon. What a wonderful tradition you have renewing your vows in a unique place every year. I’m so excited to hear about your daughter’s career as she grows up since we think she may pursue the wedding industry. She did a great job saying -you may kiss the bride!!!

Jen Paul helped make our wedding ceremony absolutely magical!
Jen was the perfect officiant for our wedding and we were so happy that we found her! She was so warm, caring, professional and reponsive right from the start. We had an initial Zoom call to get to know each other, and as soon as we hung up, my wife and I looked at each other and agreed she was the one for us. From then on till the wedding, Jen worked with us to craft the perfect marriage ceremony. She was flexible and patient and it was so easy to communicate with her! Our ceremony at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon was touching, funny, emotional and beautiful. We were so glad Jen was there with us to make it as special as it was.

Jen was SO great in every way!
Jen was the first vendor we booked for our wedding, and thank god! She was able to help give us other recommendations, walk us through the out of state wedding process and ease our minds. We had our 1-year old daughter in the ceremony which was quite chaotic but Jen handled it wonderfully. We also took advantage of the 4 pre-marital sessions which was SO valuable and I highly recommend it.

We couldn't have been happier with having Jen be apart of our big day. She brought such a comfort and peace to our special moment. She was so genuine and caring with our love story it was almost as if we knew her our whole lives! She was so helpful throughout the process. Whenever we had questions regarding our love story, marriage license, or ceremony locations in Sedona, she was always so responsive. Since we were coming from Florida, we knew we were in good hands with Jen in Arizona. We could not recommend her more! Jen is kind soul and is ESSENTIAL to any wedding day. You really can't go wrong! Thank you, Jen. We were so grateful that you were a special part of our journey.

Creating a Sacred Ceremony for extraordinary love stories
Jen Paul is one of a kind. HONESTLY! We prayed to find the perfect person to help us create a perfect ceremony to join together for all times a personal sacred love story. We are in our seventies. That's right! Our story isn't what's important here, but Jen is! She is lovely, professional, fun and more sensitive than any other minister we have ever met in all our lives. Coming from different religious backgrounds we were looking for someone to be sensitive to the spiritual nature of our love story. Jen was so amazing to work with to find just the right phrases that touched our hearts. To encourage and lead us in creating a very special wedding ceremony, sacred in nature but allowing for light , love and angelic consciousness to brighten to moments. We could NEVER have accomplished this without her. She is a special life coach along the way. We didn't give her too much time either, just several months to help us pull it together. We loved her immediately upon meeting her on a Facetime call. We traveled to Flagstaff for an intimate wedding in the boonies. Weather was ridiculous, and still we managed to have the BEST time. You will NOT regret getting to know this magical lady.
Life Passages, Jen Paul's reply:
Wow Deb! Shucks, I'm speechless. You and John are so special to me and I'm so honored that you chose me to make your story come to life. What a story! Much love and blessings to you both

Dream Wedding Ceremony!
Where do I even begin? I am forever grateful that Jen came into our lives when she did. My now husband and I were in search of an officiant to marry us that would embody everything we had been looking for in an officiant. My original hope was that a friend or family member would marry us, and thank goodness that didn’t work out because then we wouldn’t of had the absolute dream of a ceremony that we had. From beginning to end, Jen guided us and made the process of putting together such a special and intimate ceremony EASY! I truly felt like she went above and beyond to get to know us and by wedding day I felt like we had known Jen for years. The dedication, thoughtfulness and passion that she pours into her work is so very apparent and makes for an unforgettable experience. We chose the Love Story ceremony for our wedding because we really wanted our friends and family to get to know our story from beginning to end, and they absolutely did. I never imagined so many guests would comment on how beautiful our ceremony was (not kidding… even some of our guy friends teared up which I thought was so sweet). Jen took everything we hoped for and dreamed of and created such a unique and personal ceremony that we will love and cherish forever. She spoke beautifully and seamlessly incorporated two different spiritual/religious backgrounds and created a ceremony that really spoke to both families. She also tied in a ritual to honor our parents, as well as honor the sacred land of Sedona. I especially loved that part since our wedding was a destination wedding and this gave our guests a very personable look into native traditions. I really don’t think we would’ve had as beautiful of an experience with anyone else. Jen was definitely our person. We truly wish we lived close to her so that we couple grab a cup of coffee and hang out… rehearsal and wedding ceremony just wasn’t enough! Jen was so professional and well-organized throughout the entire planning process and I wish all brides and grooms get this same experience. Do yourself a favor and choose Jen as your officiant for any of life’s celebrations and moments - you will not regret it! Thank you Jen for marrying us and being such an important part of a day we will never forget. We love you!
Life Passages, Jen Paul's reply:
Wow, Regina! I'm speechless! Tearing up too. I can't thank you enough for entrusting me with your dream ceremony. It was such an honor to be a part of your day. Love you Regina and Nolan and hope to hang out the next time you're in Arizona!
