    Jason made our ceremony memorable

    Minnesota Officiants, Jason Jorgensen in particular, were so helpful in making our wedding celebration memorable. After meeting with my partner and I to make sure we were a good fit, Jason provided excellent guidance on curating our wedding ceremony so that it was everything we wanted to celebrate our meaningful commitment. His friendly personality and easy-going nature made the whole process go smoothly and the ceremony he delivered was heartfelt and memorable. There was no detail unaccounted for, including matching his wardrobe to our wedding colors and having extra printed copies for our reader to use at the ceremony. Jason went above and beyond to help my partner and I with our wedding celebrations and made sure we were officially set to begin life’s next adventures.

    Cara Tollefson

    Thank goodness Cara was our officiant because she did such a wonderful job. We greatly appreciated her flexibility with how we wanted the wedding script to feel. Her recommendations were also so helpful. Our ceremony was a highlight of our wedding day.

    Jason was so helpful and flexible!

    Jason Jorgensen was so helpful in the planning process of the ceremony. He helped us organize and was super flexible when part of the ceremony was put to the side and not involved right away. We got so many compliments on the way that he organized the ceremony, and it was about us and not just about the proceedings. I would highly recommend working with Jason as your officiant for your wedding ceremony

    We were honored to work with Cara Tollefson as our wedding officiant, she is kind, professional, caring, and valued us and our families.

    We were so grateful to have Cara Tollefson as our wedding officiant. We had a small “budget wedding” and she made every part of it feel special and unique. She was so kind and professional, and truly made sure we felt taken care of, throughout the entire process. Cara worked with us to include a sentimental piece of faith into our ceremony, and helped us with any questions we had throughout the way. Our family couldn’t stop talking about how sweet, thoughtful, and well delivered the ceremony was. I would sincerely recommend Cara to anyone thinking about using these services.

    Jill made our wedding perfect!

    We worked with Jill Englund as our officiant, and she made it so easy to build a ceremony that felt genuine and true to our relationship! With her help we preserved the aspects of traditional ceremonies that we valued while adding personal touches that rang true to our families and community. Even though both we and Jill had some major life events during the planning period, she did great supporting us and matching our availability to plan and practice the ceremony. Her readings were delivered expertly, and the ceremony went off beautifully. We couldn't have asked for a better guide through the process!

    Calm presence on such a stressful day!

    Loved working with Cara- she was such a kind, caring and calming presence when everything felt chaotic. She was super reliable and responsive around communication. She helped us by looking over our vows and gave us helpful tips on how to speak to a crowd. I would highly recommend!

    Loved working with Jill!

    We had Jill Englund officiate our wedding and everything was just wonderful! She is so sweet and has the best personality. She was very communicative and helpful throughout the planning process, flawlessly lead our rehearsal, and did an amazing job the day of the wedding! She also gave us the right amount of guidance when creating the ceremony so that it was tailored perfectly to us.

    Cara Tollefson- The BEST Wedding Officiant

    My husband and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Cara Tollefson. We hired her as our officiant for our ceremony last month, and it is one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding planning process. She was kind from start to finish- first speaking with us over the phone, then meeting us face-to-face for coffee, and finally being present to coordinate our rehearsal. She is organized, dedicated, charismatic, and good-humored! She will be there for you while also making sure everything goes off without a hitch. We would give her more stars if we could!

    We Loved Working with Jill!

    We chose MN Officiants for the many options they offered to make our special day unique and memorable . Our officiant, Jill Englund, was responsive, warm, and open to making our wedding ceremony exactly the intimate and personal experience we had hoped for. We were able to customize the many suggestions Jill offered but also had the option of simply choosing readings and blessings from the extensive resource manual they provide. We would highly recommend Jill and Minnesota Officiants to others looking for seasoned professionals with a personal touch.

    Cara Tollefson - Amazing and wonderful

    Cara Tollefson was beyond amazing from the very start. Her call to introduce herself and explain the process to us was wonderful. She was pleasant, calm and provided all the information we needed. Cara made sure we were aware we could reach out to her anytime with any questions, which really put us at ease. Her email respond was always prompt. When we met her for the rehearsal, immediately upon meeting her face to face, we knew we had made the right decision. She was lighthearted, joyful, fun, kind hearted and engaged in the process. She offered suggestions that we took and ran with and they ended up being the highlights in our ceremony. Cara reminded us that she would guide us through the process and not to worry, but to enjoy our day. She did guide us, she was calm - Cara simply was the best! We simply cannot say enough great things about her. Thank you, Cara!!!! For a really great day!

    Book them now!

    We found Minnesota Officiants online and were drawn to the idea that we could create a customized ceremony that reflected us as a couple, but would still be delivered by a professional. Minnesota Officiants gave us a lot of great resources for building our Ceremony, and we worked with Allan Lindgren to put it all together. Allan had a lot of experience which helped us feel comfortable during the rehearsal and day-of and he has a great way of combining the "mushy" stuff with a little humor. Our family and friends raved about our Ceremony and I would definitely recommend Minnesota Officiants and Allan Lindgren.

    We Had a Beautiful and Special Wedding

    Jill Englund from Minnesota Wedding Officiants served as our officiant for our wedding, and we can’t thank her enough for all that she did to help us pull off a beautiful, memorable wedding day! Her experience helping couples craft weddings that match their personalities and beliefs showed through in every part of our planning and preparations. She took the time to get to know us, our likes and dislikes, and our hopes for the occasion, and then she provided us just the right amount of help to pull it all together. She suggested a basic framework for the ceremony and then let us fill in as much of the content as we wanted. And on the day of the event, Jill offered so many great suggestions to help us make sure it all came together smoothly–she even thought about details like holding her ceremony book in her hands rather than using a podium, because it looks better in the photos. And she’s such a lovely person! We so appreciated that her calming presence helped everyone about to take part in the ceremony to feel ready and confident. We had a beautiful wedding all around, and Jill played a big role in making that happen!

    Wedding Officiant Cara Tollefson, A+

    Cara Tollefson conducted our civil ceremony this summer, and we were so pleased! Cara was responsive and attentive to the details, helped guide the ceremony based on our ideas and style, and was thorough with submitting our license and following up to ensure we received our final marriage license from the state in a timely manner.

    Great experience

    We asked for a midnight wedding to be done and have it be short and to the point before we left for our destination symbolic wedding. The set up was easy, he arrived in a few minutes early and was out the door at 12:05. Exactly like we wanted.

    Highly recommend Jill Englund as your officiant

    Jill was amazing to work with throughout the whole process. She is knowledgeable and her experience helped with the planning of the ceremony and the rehearsal. The ceremony was perfect! Jill did a great job using our love story and weaving it into the ceremony to make it very personal and special. My husband and I are so happy with the experience and many of our guests also commented on how memorable the ceremony was. If you’re looking for an officiant for your wedding, I give Jill a 10/10 and a gold star.

    The Perfect Ceremony!

    Jill Englund was an incredible officiant and she put together a beautiful ceremony we (along with our friends and family) will never forget. We've had countless guests tell us how impressed they were with her and how beautiful and personal our ceremony was. She was extremely responsive and took the time to get to know us before our big day. We wanted a personal ceremony with a bit of humor sprinkled in and she more than delivered.

    Absolutely fantastic

    We found this Vendor when our original officiant backed out towards the end of the process. Jell Englund was by far the greatest experience we had with the whole wedding process. She was quick to respond, professional, and had great ideas! Everyone raved about her and the ceremony and we could not have asked for a better officiant!
