    Rev. Jewel Olson is a gem! :)

    I’ve known Rev. Jewel Olson for many years, so when my daughter became engaged, I immediately recommended Jewel to officiate the ceremony. After changing the date a few times to accommodate Jewel’s schedule, the final date was selected… June 6, 2024. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the planning stages with my daughter and her fiancé, to the rehearsal, and the wedding ceremony itself, Jewel was amazing! She’s professional and charming, and makes you feel at ease with her warm personality mixed with a bit of humor. The ceremony was beautiful and afterward everyone raved about Jewel. I’m so glad she was a part of this very special day for my family. I more than highly recommend Jewel for any occasion. She’s simply wonderful!

    Rev. Jewel Olson: Officiant's reply:

    I am going to forever cherish the day I was able to witness an “old friend “ make new memories! Thank you for sharing your family with me & inviting me to be a part of such a special day!

    Could not be happier!

    Thank you so much Jewel for making our special day exceptional! You added personal touches to our ceremony that really showed our guests how much we really love each other. 10/10 would recommend Jewel to any future couples in Wisconsin!

    Rev. Jewel Olson: Officiant's reply:

    You two warm my heart & it truly was a precious day! Thank you for sharing it with me. Much love & happiness to you, Mr.&Mrs. !

    Super sweet!

    My husband and I are so grateful that we had Jewel officiate our wedding! Jewel was incredibly sweet, organized and responsive throughout the whole wedding planning process. She conducted our ceremony exactly how we wanted it - semi-traditional and kept it nice and concise!

    Rev. Jewel Olson: Officiant's reply:

    Thank you for your kind reflections and words! You two melted my heart with the love you share & it was an absolute honor to be the one you invited to share your day with you as your Officiant. Much happiness & support to you always~

    Rev. Jewel is top notch!

    Rev. Jewel Olson made our day perfect. As I was living in another state during the planning process, Jewel made herself available and got to know my husband and I through Zoom call and emails. Along the way to the big day, she kept in communication with me making sure every detail was covered. She is professional, kind, funny, and just put us at ease during the ceremony. We just couldn't say enough good things. Highly recommend for any bride and groom to be!

    Rev. Jewel Olson: Officiant's reply:

    Awww! I LUV your story & it was absolutely an honor to be the one to pronounce you as married in front of your families & friends! Thank you for choosing me & allowing me to be a part of your day. Sending you endless prayers of happiness & support in your life as Mr. & Mrs.

    Jewel is simply THE BEST!

    My husband & I got married yesterday by this
    AMAZING woman. We unfortunately lost our officiant two months before our wedding & Jewel jumped in to take on this ride with us. She made the process from start to finish so easy. We had so many compliments from our guests on how great of a job she did. We can't thank her enough for going on a crazy ride with us. You will not regret having jewel by your side during important milestones in your Life ❤️

    Rev. Jewel Olson: Officiant's reply:

    ❤️I'm honored that you entrusted me with the privilege to join your 'team' in the final stretch of planning. It was a truly wonderful 'ride' to join you on! Endless happiness & Smiles to you as you begin this new chapter. Best Wishes, Mr. & Mrs.

    Wedding Officiant - Jewel was Fantastic

    Jewel was fantastic. We met several months before the wedding and Jewel provided an outline that made the planning so easy. Her reminders kept us on track and minimized the stress. On our wedding day, Jewel had a very calming personality that made everyone feel welcomed. We could not have asked for a better officiant for our wedding!

    Rev. Jewel Olson: Officiant's reply:

    It was an absolute honor & joy to share in the celebration of your love story. The magic of everything from the full, blue moon to your fantastic reception was a pleasure to see and witness. Thank you for trusting me as your Officiant & allowing me to be a part of your special circle of friends/family. Best Wishes~

    10/10 the best

    My husband & I have received SO many compliments on how kind, funny, and wonderful our officiant Jewel was for our ceremony! Jewel is communicative, accommodating, and flexible. She customizes to her clients' needs and gave us the EXACT kind of ceremony we pictured for our day. I literally would not change a single thing she did; we could not have asked for a better officiant. She is the best without a doubt :).

    Rev. Jewel Olson: Officiant's reply:

    You two are such a precious couple! It was an absolute honor & privilege to be your Officiant, sharing your special day with you. Your wedding party was awesome, your venue spectacular, your parents so sweet & the day was picture perfect! Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs.

    Jewel truly made our day special

    We cannot even begin to express how much we loved Jewel. All of our guests commented on how amazing she was and how moved they were by her words during our ceremony. She was amazing in every meaning of the word. We plan to use her to baptize our future children when the time comes.

    Rev. Jewel Olson: Officiant's reply:

    I absolutely adore you both! Thank you so much for sharing your story & special day with me. It was such a pleasure to be a part of your journey & the beginning of your story as husband & wife.

She is so warm and friendly, you feel at ease with her in a heartbeat. Jewel provides you with guidance and is prompt in answering any questions. Jewel will showcase you and the love you share with your partner in a beautiful way, pick her!! Love, the new Mr. And Mrs. Kersten

    Amazing wedding

    Jewel did an amazing job personalizing our ceremony as well as advocating for me when I was getting overwhelmed by everyone talking. She has great organization and communication and easily kept up with me when I decided to change a couple things during the rehearsal. I can not count the number of people that came up to me during cocktail hour and the reception just RAVING over how good Jewel was and asking me where I found her!! Jewel made our wedding perfect. Not to mention seeing all the photos she took and posted after?!?! She went above and beyond in every way.

    Rev. Jewel Olson: Officiant's reply:

    You two are SO special! Your day was absolutely beautiful & I loved all the personal touches from your aisle runner to the mariachi band. Thank you for inviting me to share your day with you, meet your families and be a part of everything.

    Excellent officiant

    Jewel was nothing but understanding and open to all questions that my wife and I had. She was clear and helpful and an absolute sweetheart at both the rehearsal and day of the wedding. She is a fantastic and wonderful person and I couldn't have been happier with her service!

    Rev. Jewel Olson: Officiant's reply:

    From our first conversation/email exchange, I admired your story! You are an amazing couple filled with so much love and I respect you both beyond words. Thank you, for allowing me to share in your extra special day with you. What an awesome day it was! I know this is just the beginning of your journey together! Best Wishes as Mr. & Mrs.

    She's a great officiant!

    My venue recommended Jewel and I am so glad they did! She is personable, easy to work with, and helpful. She gave us all the information we needed to make the process of getting married easier. She listened to our ideas and helped make the ceremony uniquely ours. She even took lots of photos of our wedding decorations which was a nice surprise to be able to have those to view while waiting for our photographers pictures.

    Rev. Jewel Olson: Officiant's reply:

    Everything about your wedding day seemed so perfect for the two of you & it was an absolute honor to create a ceremony that reflected all you wanted! Thank you so much for sharing your day with me. Best Wishes, Mr. & Mrs.

    Absolutely Wonderful

    She felt like an old friend before I even met her in person. Every conversation was so easy and happy; and she was so accommodating. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect officiant! Thank you Jewel for making our day special.

    Jewel Olson

    Jewel was amazing. She was professional and prepared and gave us just the kind of informal ceremony that we requested. It was a small wedding, and Jewel understood our situation and made it easier to plan for our ceremony. She was on time(arrived 40 minutes early from the ceremony) and very warm and charming. She also had a good sense of humor. Every guest from our wedding liked her. She had a wonderful personality. I will recommend her for an officiant if any of my friends will get married. We can't recommend her highly enough!

    Rev. Jewel Olson: Officiant's reply:

    It was such a delight to join your two hearts in marriage! Your personal vows were so very special. I wish you the best as you begin your life together, Happily Ever After!

    Genuine and emotional

    Jewel was a wonderful and easy to work with! She takes all of the things that you fill out and talk about in a consultation to turn it into a beautiful ceremony. She walks you through each step and is very comforting. I am typically neverous in front of people but with her it was easy to calm down and live in the moment.

    Rev. Jewel Olson: Officiant's reply:

    Perfection!

    I couldn’t have asked for a better officiant to make our ceremony perfect. There was just the right mix of personalization, emotion, and humor. We chose to do our own vows which made the ceremony so special. Jewel kept us on task during rehearsal and kept the ceremony to 30 minutes like we had asked. We couldn’t be happier!

    Rev. Jewel Olson: Officiant's reply:

    I adore you two! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special day. Everything was amazing! Your wedding party-the venue-the flowers...what a perfect beginning to your new chapter as husband & wife!

    Rev Jewel made our wedding so special!

    Rev. Jewel was amazing to work with. From our initial meeting on zoom to the minute she left the ceremony! She made the whole process smooth even though I was nervous, she walked me through each step and calmed me down. During the ceremony she said “breathe” and that calmed us right down. I would recommend her a thousand percent!

    The perfect officiant

    Jewel was the perfect officiant. Her communication was great and she really values getting to know her couples before the ceremony. We met up with her to talk about our envision for the wedding and she helped walked us through how the ceremony will go. Any questions or concerns we had she was able to answer quickly and efficiently. My husband was so nervous during the ceremony and she helped keep him calm and relaxed. We had so many people come up to us after the ceremony telling house how wonderful jewel was. We’d definitely recommend her to anyone who needs an officiant!! So glad we went with her. 😀

    Rev. Jewel Olson: Officiant's reply:

    Oh my goodness! You made my day! Thank you So much for your kind reflections from your special day...& for sharing the amazing photos!! You two had such a great vision and it was a delight to be a part of it.

    Could not imagine such a great experience!

    Neither of us knew any officiant, let alone one to perform a ceremony for a same sex couple. Jewel made us feel as though she had known us for a long time. She understood us so well in just a few short minutes and captured our desires for the ceremony. Guests from out of State and out of town all said how they really enjoyed the ceremony and how much they felt Jewel understood and knew us. We started with invitations saying "Let us be one" and Jewel eloquently tied it into the end of the ceremony by closing the blessing with it. Truly magical. We even had to do remote for some quests not able to make it and they expressed their love of the ceremony.

    Rev. Jewel Olson: Officiant's reply:

    You two made my day! It was such a delightful honor to be the one chosen as your Officiant! Best Wishes for the next 30 years!
