    The Most Spiritual Ceremony a Bride Could Ask For

    Jinnae was an absolute darling to work with for our wedding. She met with us in person months in advance to go over the details of our ceremony (for those that aren't local to the area, she also offers Zoom call consultations.) After our meeting, she drafted a comprehensive Google document to describe the sequence of the ceremony as well as what she plans on saying for each segment, so there is no surprise to the couple on the day of the wedding. We were able to make edits in real time and she would make the adjustments necessary so that we were satisfied with her work. That being said, on our wedding day, the ceremony did not feel scripted at all -- quite the opposite actually! The way Jinnae delivers her words is very authentic and spiritual, and she does so in such a calming manner, all the while reading the audience and knowing when to squeeze in a bit of humor should the atmosphere call for it.

    We received positive comments from our guests saying how much they loved our officiant's demeanor, and how meditative they felt during the entire ceremony. Our photographer also complimented Jinnae's timing: he said that the ceremony was just the perfect duration. Not too long and not too short.

    My family is Filipino, and my parents made a request to incorporate "Mano Po" and the cord and veil traditions into our ceremony, which were previously outside of Jinnae's experience. But she spent a considerable amount of her own time to learn about our culture so that she can seamlessly add these traditions into our ceremony, which we greatly appreciated. After our wedding day, she mailed our marriage license to the respective office, and even provided me with advice on how to deal with the office's slow processing times.

    You will not be disappointed in choosing Jinnae as your officiant. She goes above and beyond, and even provides inspiration for wedding vows, readings, special ceremony additions, etc. If you want a hassle-free wedding ceremony, look no further than Your Ceremony with Spirit!

    Don't second guess

    I was blown away with how personal our ceremony ended up after just one in person meeting! All it took was about an hour for her to get a full picture of our love story. The end result was amazing! We couldn't have asked for a better officiant.

    Rev. Jinnae Anderson's reply:

    Aw, thanks so much, Sadie. I loved telling your story and being a part of your special day. The love was so *there,* you could almost reach out and touch it!

    Wonderful experience!

    We highly recommend Jinnae as an officiant for your ceremony. Working with her was seamless, and she really helped us shape our ceremony. We weren’t writing our own, as there were too many other things to do, so her having some templates to choose from was a lifesaver! She is extremely kind, very responsive, was early to the ceremony, and just all around a pleasure to have as part of our big day. Thank you, Jinnae!

    Highly reccomend

    Jinnae made our wedding ceremony unique and special just how we wanted. From the first time we met her she made us feel comfortable with the process.

    A Magical Experience

    When we came across Jinnae's website, it was as if the universe was saying, "This is the one." Simply reading previous testimonials assured us of the kindness and care with which she handled each wedding. Working with her was a dream! Jinnae helped us to create a beautifully detailed ceremony that not only fit our values but included our guests, bringing a wonderful sense of community on our special day. We cannot say enough about her compassion, and heard so many glowing compliments about her from our guests. Simply put, Jinnae officiated or wedding with grace and brought an element of magic that will forever be treasured. We are so grateful to you, Jinnae, for all that you did for us. - Alex and Kaylee Yanez

    Kaylee, I was deeply honored to be your officiant, and it was my pleasure to help a certain husband-to-be who suffered from some nerves! ;-) Wishing you a wonderful married life.

    Amazing Experience!

    Planning a wedding is stressful and one of the biggest decisions we had to make was who would be our officiant. Jinnae made our decision easy once we met and talked with her. She had a welcoming warm vibe that we could feel from our first conversation. She took the time to really get to know us so she could make our ceremony feel personal and special. We were ecstatic to have Jinnae as our officiant! 10/10 highly recommend that anyone reading this take the time to contact her; You will not regret it.

    The best!

    Having Jinnae as the officiant at our wedding was a great choice. She is a joy to work with, and her experience with orchestrating wedding ceremonies is obvious. She really gets to know your story as a couple, and does an amazing job of translating that story through the ceremony. We would recommend Jinnae to anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding. She was amazing!

    Rev. Jinnae Anderson's reply:

    Thanks so. much, Ryan. I loved getting to know you and your bride better, and what an honor it was to help you cross this most important milestone. It was a beautiful wedding; love was most definitely in the air!

    Beautiful Ceremony

    COVID changed our wedding plans twice, and we finally decided on a small wedding but with a tight timeline. We were immediately relieved to find Jinnae, who quickly put all of our nerves at ease.

    Jinnae had great recommendations for the structure of the ceremony, specifically how things could work well for a smaller wedding. She recommended several things that we ended up incorporating. Jinnae even took the time to meet us in person while we were in California to go through all the details. She was professional, organized and very prompt in helping put together the perfect ceremony for us, incorporating all of our feedback and personal details.

    On the day of, Jinnae was right on time and ready to go with all the documents and materials prepared. The ceremony itself was beautiful and had most of us in tears. Jinnae flawlessly delivered exactly what we were looking for and the ceremony was the highlight of the event. She had the great suggestion of incorporating our family members in parts like readings, and the wine box ceremony that made the whole thing feel that much more personal. Both our families were completely blown away and continue to talk about how amazing the ceremony was.

    We can't say enough good things about Jinnae and our experience from start to finish. We highly recommend Jinnae and could not imagine our special day without her presence.

    Rev. Jinnae Anderson's reply:

    Kelly, I was so glad to be a part of finally getting you and Alexander married! ;-) Your small, intimate wedding was incredibly special, and the love and support from your families was deeply felt. Thank you for the honor of being your officiant.

    I loved her services and would definitely recommend to anyone for any

    I had a surprise wedding for my bride, and Jinnae was a crucial part of making that happen. Also, she was super flexible on everything and fully tolerated my interruptions and speeches. Also what was important to me was someone who was totally responsive to my ideas and return phone calls, e mails, and texts.
    I would highly recommend her and she is a very charming woman so all the way around it is a win situation

    Rev. Jinnae Anderson's reply:

    Mario, I loved being a part of your surprise wedding! Thanks for the honor of having me officiate. Wishing all the best to you and your new wife.

    Mrs Rumley-Lamb

    Warm, Caring, and Flexible

    I couldn't have imagined a more perfect ceremony. Jinnae is such a kind and compassionate person, and we are so thankful to have had her officiate our wedding. When she sensed the inevitable nerves and tears coming, she helped us breathe throughout our ceremony and comfort us, making it feel like it was just the three of us up there. Jinnae had a lot of experience and so many great ideas to incorporate into our wedding – like the wine box ceremony which we ended up doing. She was also super flexible with us throughout the process, as our plans changed three or four times due to COVID-19. My husband and I will always have the fondest memories of our day, and Jinnae was a very special part of it.

    Rev. Jinnae Anderson's reply:

    Covid has made weddings pretty crazy this year. Maddie, I was so glad that I could be there for you and Jack, riding the waves until they settled enough that you could have your beautiful ceremony. Much love to you both.

    Jinnae was wonderful!

    From the early planning stages all the way up to the day of the wedding Jinnae was wonderful. She took the time to get to know our individual personalities and learned what traits made our relationship special. She crafted all these things into a loving speech at the wedding. We didn’t want a blink and the ceremony is over kind of wedding, but we didn’t want to have our guests sit for too long and Jinnae understood this. Jinnae was always timely and responsive to our needs. When Covid ruined our May wedding plans Jinnae was flexible with us, and made our new August date work without a hitch. If you are looking for a professional wedding officiant with a warm personality then look no further. You will be in good hands with Jinnae.

    Rev. Jinnae Anderson's reply:

    Kaite, even though life (in the form of Covid) added some chaos to the process, I'm so glad I could be there to help you and Scott have the wedding of your dreams. Thank you for the honor of including me.

    So Amazing

    Jinnae was so helpeful! Especially during these hard times of the pandemic, she was great to work with and was very understanding of everything that we were going through with having to make changes here and there. She was so sweet and it was so great to have her there to make our wedding day come together!

    Beautiful ceremony

    Jinnae performed our ceremony April 13 at The Stone House. What an incredible moment. Even though we met ahead of time to discuss the content, select the vows, write the script and do the rehearsal, the ceremony was more than we could have dreamed of. It was poetic, emotional, and fit our values and personalities perfectly. It was as if Jinnae had known us for years. She was truly able to capture the nature of our individual spirits and encapsulate them in her readings, blessings and ceremony style. She was able to portray two of the most strongly independent and confident individuals as an even stronger union and this was very important to us. Jinnae tailored the language and sentiment of the service to meet our feelings and beliefs about marriage. Our family and guests commented on how personal and unique our ceremony was. Thank you Jinnae.

    Beautiful experience from meeting to our ceremony!

    Jinnae is a beautiful person; you immediately feel at home when you meet her. She has a naturally comforting presence, which I appreciated immensely going through stresses of life (and wedding planning.)

    For our ceremony, Jinnae crafted a story that was unique to me and my husband. Meeting with Jinnae to discuss our ceremony and tell our story was the first time I really paused and considered the beautiful thing we were setting out to do-- get married!

    During the ceremony, Jinnae had the same effect on every guest -- allowing everyone to pause, reflect, and savor it all. She told our love story beautifully and had everyone crying and laughing. A ton of guests commented to me specifically how much they enjoyed the ceremony. Jinnae put everyone in the right mindset and reminded us why we were all there. It was an absolute joy working with her and she really did make our day amazing. I can't recommend her enough!

    A wedding is a sacred event. For us finding the right person to participate in such a sacred event was very important. The universe brought us Jinnae. From the moment we met Jinnae we felt at ease, and after speaking with her during our first meeting we knew she was the right person to guide us through our ceremony. We are grateful that she took the time to get to know us, which made a big difference in helping develop a personalized ceremony and vows.
    Her calm presence and ability to put everyone involved at ease allowed us to be present in the moment and immerse ourselves in our vows and each other. Thank you, Jinnae, for being such a special part of our ceremony and reception.

    My husband and I would both have zero hesitation in recommending Jinnae’s services as wedding officiant for your big day. We knew that we wanted to hire a professional officiant, who also could truly connect with us and make our ceremony as heartfelt and personal as we wanted it to be. Jinnae hit this mark and more. She took the time to sit down with us, helping us to customize the ceremony we wanted, as well as helping us think through our ideas to make them a reality. Her ability to get to know us as a couple in the amount of time we had, in such a fun and sincere way, is truly impressive. It speaks to her ability to listen and hear not only our words but the way we feel. This connection, plus the professionalism and public presence Jinnae provides, made our ceremony amazing. We received countless compliments from our guests on the beauty and sincerity of our ceremony and we have to give credit to Jinnae. To us, our ceremony was everything we hoped for and we were still so impressed . We had such a wonderful experience and connection, I would not be surprised if we don’t see Jinnae a few times over the wonderful first years of our marriage. We feel that working with Jinnae was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding.

    We highly recommend Jinnae Anderson. We had a small wedding (under 60 guests) & we wanted a simple ceremony. During our first meeting, Jinnae got to know us & what we wanted. She made some suggestions, gave us choices to make our special day unique and what we felt suited us. Not only did she get us hitched without a hitch :) her suggestions & the ceremony were perfect & more than we ever expected. She is full of love and it shows.
