Best officiant... EVER.

Finding an officiant is arguably one of the most intimate decisions you can make during the wedding planning process. A lot of people look for a friend/family member to officiate so that the couple's essence is properly captured by someone who knows you both well.

When I say the Jody is the best officiant it is not an exaggeration. If you want to work with someone who deeply cares about catching you and your partner's relationship and articulating it into a beautifully told ceremony story, she is your person. Jody spends a session getting to know you and your partner so she can write your ceremony with specifics and tidbits about you as a couple. My husband and I spent a long time with Jody during our session being completely vulnerable and present about our relationship and why it is so meaningful for us and she could not have done a better job capturing it for our ceremony. So much so that when she sent over the first draft for us to review, I was in tears and did not want to change a thing about it (which says a lot because I am very picky)!

Another amazing thing about Jody was the day of our wedding. I was quite nervous before our ceremony as that moment is a big one!! Jody sat with me and calmed my nerves to the point where I was able to be completely present during our ceremony despite the pre-ceremony jitters and this is all thanks to Jody.

If you are looking for a kind, romantic, empathic, and understanding officiant who wants nothing more but for you and your partner to feel your love through the ceremony she writes, then she is your officiant.

Thank you so much, Jody, for the most perfect day. We got so many compliments on the ceremony from our friends and families.

Jody is magic!

If you're dreaming of a ceremony that doesn't just mark a moment but etches itself into the hearts of everyone present, then look no further than the phenomenal Rev. Jody Lotito Levine. When I say there wasn't a single dry eye in our 225-person ceremony, please know that's not hyperbole – it was a testament to Jody's incredible gift. We had guests, many of whom have witnessed countless weddings, coming up to us afterward saying she was unequivocally one of the most captivating and heartfelt officiants they had ever experienced. Jody doesn't just perform a ceremony; she pours her very essence into crafting a deeply personal and meaningful experience. She invests the time to truly understand the intricate tapestry of your relationship – every sweet detail, every quirky inside joke, everything that makes you and your partner your unique love story. This isn't just a job for Jody; it's clear that she is genuinely invested in celebrating your union and takes immense pride in the honor of being your officiant. She wove in all our little nuances, seamlessly incorporated our requested rituals, and guided us beautifully as we crafted our vows. Jody isn't just an officiant; she is pure magic, a conduit of love and connection. Truly, there are no other words that can fully capture the beauty she brings to a ceremony.

Jody is the Best Wedding Officiant You’ll Ever Meet

TL;DR: 100/10 experience. If you’re thinking of reaching out, you will not be disappointed.

No matter what I write, nothing will come close to how exceptional of an experience my husband and I had with Jody. I feel so incredibly blessed that we reached out to her, that she was willing and excited to meet us, get to know us, and be what we needed on our wedding day. Her process is very organized and neat, she truly puts a lot of care into each service she does. You can really feel that when speaking to her, and then you see it when you meet her. How attentive she is to you as a couple and as individuals is truly astounding. I wish I could cross paths with her more because she’s genuinely such a comforting and welcoming presence. What she wrote for us was nothing short of absolutely beautiful, and the support and assurance she offered us during the entire process were astounding.

She also has great communication. She kindly follows up and is totally reliable. We did not have to worry about anything, as Jody knows what she is doing, and her professionalism and reliability are exceptional. I can't highlight that enough. You will not have to worry about a thing with her.

Overall, Jody exceeded all expectations and played a pivotal role in making our wedding day unforgettable. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple seeking a dedicated and heartfelt officiant.

Perfection!

Jody was absolutely amazing. She wrote the perfect speech for our wedding. It was personal, funny and meaningful. She struck the perfect balance for us. We got so many compliments from our guests. Jody was also a pleasure to talk to from our first meeting to our last. There were lots of laughs and good questions. She was responsive and really helped us navigate the process. I’d highly recommend Jody if you are looking a ceremony speech that is written just for you! Thank you, Jody!

Wonderful Ceremony!

Jody was an amazing Officiant for our wedding ceremony! We weren’t having a religious ceremony and didn’t want one of our friends to step into this role, so we really wanted to find the right person to marry us. Jody was perfect, and energetic and enthusiastic from the start. She took the time to get to know us individually and as a couple, spending hours with us to learn about our story to then write her ceremony. She showed it to us before and took any edits, very much collaborating throughout and even tailoring messaging around lost loved ones and such. She also gave us vow examples and read over our vows which was super helpful to make sure the tones/styles matched. At the ceremony itself, her delivery was fantastic and she handled submission of the Marriage License for us too. Definitely recommend her to other couples!!! Thanks Jody!

One of a kind!

We were fortunate to have Jody as our wedding officiant, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. From our first meeting, it was clear that she was genuinely invested in our relationship. She took the time to get to know us, asking thoughtful questions about our journey together and what we envisioned for our ceremony.

Jody was not only warm and friendly but also incredibly accommodating, making sure every detail was perfect. She created a beautiful, personalized ceremony that reflected our love story in the most meaningful way. Her words were heartfelt and touching, resonating with us and our guests.

On the day of the wedding, Jody brought a calming presence, guiding us through the ceremony with grace and joy. Many of our guests commented on how lovely and genuine she was, and are still talking about the ceremony months later. We feel truly blessed to have had Jody be a part of our special day and would highly recommend her services to any couple looking for an officiant who is truly dedicated to making their day unforgettable.

We got endless compliments on our ceremony and all the credit goes to Jody for doing such an amazing job weaving our story together artfully, and with elegance. We knew from our first call that she was the right fit for us and we weren’t disappointed. Jody took the time to get to know us both genuinely and it was evident on our special day. We highly recommend working with Jody!

Jody is Amazing! Best Officiant out there.

After the first video chat with Jody, it was very clear that she was different from all of the other cookie-cutter officiants we had spoken to up to that point. She immediately made my wife and I feel comfortable - and made it clear that she wanted to write our ceremony based on getting to know our story as a couple rather than use a pre-written template. As part of the LGBT community, it was also important to us that our officiant had done same-sex weddings before. Once she explained her process and the many LGBT weddings she had done in the past, we chose her immediately.

The entire process was seamless and easy; we sat down with Jody and told her our story. She listened intently, asking questions and taking a genuine interest in us as a couple. The ceremony she wrote was a perfect reflection of our individual personalities, our love story, and how we plan to approach our marriage. There are no words to explain how well written the ceremony was and even better performed by Jody on our wedding day. We heard nothing but amazing reviews from our family and friends and plan to keep Jody in our corner for the future as she is also a life coach - a resource that comes with her services. Choosing Jody as our officiant was one of the best decisions we ever made and I cannot recommend her enough.

Reverend Jody is as good as it gets!

Having Reverend Jody officiate our union was truly more magical than we can ever describe. Jody took the time to get to know us individually and as a couple and was so detailed orientated and determined to perfectly craft our ceremony. Her abilities to express our story with such passion, love and laughter left us all in the happiest of tears. We are truly so lucky to have had her loving guidance as we embark on this new chapter together. We cannot recommend her services enough!!

Sheer perfection!

Without question, hiring Jody was one of the best decisions that my wife and I made throughout the entire wedding planning process. She crafted a beautiful ceremony that was heartfelt, genuine, and truly captured our love. Her approach was so thoughtful and passionate--we could tell we were working with a master--and her ceremony set the tone for the entire wedding. We had numerous people come up to us and tell us that it was the best ceremony they had ever seen. I cannot recommend Jody highly enough.

Jody in incredible

She made our entire experience so enjoyable. From our first meeting, we loved her energy and knew that she was meant to tell our story and officiate our wedding. Jody took the time to learn about us in and out, including our family dynamics and other helpful details for writing out ceremony. We were blown away after she sent us the first draft. So much care and detail. From our first meeting through the ceremony she made the process so memorable and fun. Her delivery and voice is incredible. It was so special. Jody is so special!!! We could not recommend her more. You will not regret working with her.

Jody was honestly the most incredible. She was warm, welcoming, funny and supportive throughout our wedding journey. Jody took the time to get to know us and really listened to who we are as a couple. Our family and friends said how wonderful our ceremony was and how she captivated our love. We feel beyond honored that Jody took the time to write our ceremony. We would recommend her over and over again. Truly an honor getting to know Jody and having her do our ceremony in front of all of our loved ones. Jody, thank you thank you, thank you! You are a true dream. Our wedding ceremony was everything because of you. It was magical ♥️

Thank you Rev Jody!

Having Reverend Jody as our wedding officiant was one of the best decisions for our wedding ever. Rev Jody is genuinely a lovely person to sit down and talk and reflect together with, which is so important for an officiant leading the wedding ceremony between the two of us.

First, our meetings together were very pleasant as well as eye-opening. She is a very skilled listener, and the way she shared her thoughts with us made it very easy to understand and really click together.

Her ceremony speech was perfect. She took the time to understand our story and really personalized it for the two of us. Her writing style is elegant, and her speaking skills in front of the crowd has the perfect pacing and pauses to captivate everyone in the room. At the end of the ceremony, so many people came up to us and said the ceremony was so beautiful.

Most of all, it was so important to have someone that we both trusted and knew us by our side from the start to the end of the ceremony. She knew what to say to us in the moment, and even though our hands were shaking and our lips were actually quivering, she was there by our side and made sure everything went smoothly. You can tell that she honestly enjoys going through these moments together with couples like us. Thank you Jody!

Jody Is Amazing! Hire Her!

We hired Jody to officiate our wedding and couldn't be happier with our decision. We loved that she spent time getting to know us and our love story and relayed it perfectly on the day of! She also acted as a sounding board to both my husband and I, as we each wrote our own vows. Several guest complimented how warm and inviting she was during the ceremony and I would hire/work with Jody again in a heartbeat. Worth every penny!

Fantastic officiant

Jody was a great officiant at our wedding. She described our story beautifully and it helped our guests who don't know us as well to understand who we are as a couple and why we were so excited to get married. Jody was easy to work with and very responsive. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants their story told in a beautiful way!

Absolutely Perfect - Flexible and Professional

Simply put, Jody is the best. We had a ceremony that involved both Jewish and Catholic aspects, as well as a few other elements, and Jody weaved everything together beautifully. We met with Jody and spent hours talking about our story, sharing laughs and emotional moments together, and she brilliantly captured everything - our guests loved her words! Would 100% recommend :)

Wonderful Experience

From the moment we met Jody we knew we wanted to work with her, and we were glad we did. Jody sat down with us for a few meetings so she could understand our story and deliver a unique ceremony in front of friends and family. During the ceremony she made sure to highlight the moments in our lives we thought were important as well as the attributes we admired in each other. We decided to write our own vows and Jody offered assistance and feedback for that as well. Jody was personable, professional, and reliable. We are so happy we chose her to marry us.

Two terrific ceremonies thanks to Jody!

I am extremely grateful for Jody for everything she did for me and my wife, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a warm yet professional wedding officiant.

I was in an international long-distance relationship with my then-fiancee for about a year and we were thrilled to finally reunite in March 2020, shortly before the borders closed due to COVID restrictions. With a K1 fiancee visa, we had a limited window after her arrival in the US to make our marriage official. This was a time of widespread uncertainty, stress, and confusion, and it was not clear to me that we would be able to get married at all. Courthouses had closed, City Hall closed, and many reasonable people were afraid to meet with us in person. We found Jody's name online and called her in the morning. We asked how soon she could marry us, and with some hesitation she offered to marry us that very afternoon. She told us that she would never normally do something like this, but given the unprecedented circumstances and perhaps the desperation in our voices, she wanted to help. After a brief introduction, Jody practically improvised a beautiful service in her backyard for us and the few friends we persuaded to join us.

My wife and I still wanted the opportunity to share and celebrate with the rest of our friends and family, and so we planned a second event with a ceremony and reception once restrictions were lifted. Jody had been such a lifesaver and already an irreplaceable part of the story of our marriage that we couldn't imagine having another officiant for our second wedding event. This time though, Jody wanted to take more time to get to know us and put together a more personal ceremony. About two years after our first meeting, we caught up with Jody over coffee in Hoboken, and met with her once more for a more in-depth session in her home. Jody delicately probed our relationship and our family histories to empathize and immerse herself in our stories. Jody is extremely easy to talk to and to get along with, and showed great emotional intelligence that I'm sure also makes her a superb life coach.

Jody showed us a couple of examples of writing exercises that she had asked couples to do in the past to provide more material for her to work with, and asked us to do the same and send to her. Based on this, Jody sent us a draft of the ceremony script (with some room for improvisation), and I believed that she came to really understand my feelings about marriage and about my wife. When the day came, two and a half years after our first wedding, Jody was punctual, professional, and brought many in the room to tears. It went so well that I almost wish we would have a third wedding, and certainly we would call Jody again if we did.

Thank you Jody!

Thank you Rev. Jody

Professionalism and comfort are the two words that come to mind when working with Rev. Jody. The wedding planning process is a stressful time with a lot of big decisions. One of the most important decisions is who will marry you, this is such a big decision with a large impact on the ceremony. We were complete strangers when we first met Rev. Jody. But after our first meeting we felt as if we had known her for years. She has a special way about her that makes you feel extremely comfortable. Her vast experience as an officiant comes into play when planning. She was able to break down every little part of the ceremony and gave us ideas that we would have never thought of. We are grateful for her insight and will forever look back on our experience in a positive light. That you Rev. Jody for your contributions in making our day so special!

Jody was absolutely the right choice for our wedding. She was extremely personable and easy to talk to. She spent time listening to the story of us and our relationship, and it showed when she was able to put together a personalized ceremony that could have been written by a family member. Absolute professional while also being casual and relatable. Would strongly recommend!

She was efficient, responsive, on-target, and thoughtful

Rev. Jody was thorough with her detailed description of our life, background, children, and relationship. She took the time to meet with us, get to know us, and understand our wants and desires for our event. Her speech was very special and had a direct effect on us and our family as we renewed our vows. She touched on all our attributes as a couple. We were blessed to have found such a wonderful officiant for our important event. We would recommend her to anyone. We have no regrets, just lovely memories of our ceremony.

Rev Jody is the best choice!

Rev Jody is the best officiant you can ask for. From the start she let us know that this was not only her job, but something she truly enjoyed doing. Our first in-person meeting was a joyous time where my now-husband and I explained our love story. Listening intently, Rev Jody asked us questions that helped frame our ceremony. The one-to-one interaction you will have with Rev Jody as your officiant is unreplaceable. Even on the day of our wedding, when the stress was high and nerves were flying, Rev Jody was there ahead of time checking, everything was set in place, and more importantly, that we were ready and excited for the big "I do!" Rev Jody will not only be your officiant; she will be your cheerleader, your guide, and a friend sending you off to the next chapter of your life with your forever partner.

Our ceremony was beautiful!

My husband and I were so happy about our experience working with Rev. Jody. She truly takes the time to get to know you as a couple, so it doesn't feel like a random stranger is marrying you. We spent about 4 hours at Rev. Jody's home so she could get to know us. She got to hear our story as a couple, asked probing questions about what makes us tick as a couple, and what we value about each other as partners. It was honestly one of the most enjoyable experiences of the wedding planning process because it was the one time we were able to step back and reflect on why we were getting married and what makes us love each other. We were truly giddy after our meeting with Jody, reflecting on all the fun the start of our relationship entailed.

After that, Rev. Jody sent us a beautiful wedding ceremony that was 100% tailored to us. We went back and forth on edits - it was a fun, collaborative process.

The actual wedding ceremony was beautiful. We received so many compliments from our guests on how sweet and touching it was. We had many guests in tears. Our loved ones could feel the connection we had with Rev. Jody and how well she knew our story. The ceremony truly was one of my favorite parts of the day - it really felt meaningful and full of love.

I highly recommend Rev. Jody for your ceremony!

Simply the Best!

My husband and I spent at least two months trying to find an officiant for our wedding. We had spoken to a few different people, however, all of their processes appeared to be the same; fill out a questionnaire for us to craft a ceremony. However, Jody’s process was different and extremely personal. She wanted to get to know both of us as individuals and as a couple. Doing this made our ceremony so intimate and really captured our story perfectly. We had multiple guests come up to us during the cocktail hour to express how impressed they were by the ceremony. Some of our friends even asked if Jody was a relative due to her deep knowledge of our relationship. We highly recommend having Jody as your officiant, especially if you are looking for a ceremony that captures your love story.

Our perfect wedding ceremony

We hired Reverend Jody as our officiant only a month before our wedding when our initial officiant had to cancel. She was very responsive and so easy to work with, especially considering the short timeline. We truly enjoyed our conversation with Jody in preparation for the ceremony and it helped us refocus on the most important part of the wedding - our love story. She struck the perfect balance of making the ceremony feel significant without feeling too formal. We feel so lucky to have found her at the last minute!

A Fantastic Decision

Walking to the train after meeting Rev. Jody for the first time, we knew we had made one of the best decisions of our wedding in hiring her as our officiant. She is warm, caring, and funny, and these qualities were evident in her expertly crafted wedding ceremony. We received countless compliments on Rev. Jody's ceremony throughout the evening from family and friends of all religious and social persuasions. Most importantly, the ceremony focused on what makes our relationship special, and Rev. Jody will do the same for you.

Our Wedding Ceremony Experience with Jody

We first connected with Jody in early 2021. Overwhelmed with the wedding process, we were immediately relieved by her calm and pleasant demeanor. She broke down the process into manageable steps while empowering us and supporting us along the way. Her ability to listen, understand, and guide was present throughout the experience. Jody was flexible and adaptable to last minute changes and plans. Her beautiful writing truly captured us as individuals and as a couple. Our wedding day was made so much more special because Jody was a part of it. We would highly recommend her to anybody looking for an officiant that truly cares about the couple that she marries.

You know you are in good hands with Jody!

Jody took the time to get learn our story. She asked us the hard questions and truly understood our journey and the way we felt about each other. She took that knowledge and created a beautiful and unique ceremony that picked up on things that we did not even realize ourselves. There is more to officiating a wedding then just rehearsing a cookie cutter script. After our initial meeting with Jody, my wife and I felt a deeper connection and appreciation for each other than we had for a long time. Jody replicated those feelings in her script and invited all attending our ceremony to experience our journey as we had. Even though there were microphone malfunctions and direct sunlight in her face the whole time (sorry about that Jody), she remained calm, professional, and delivered the whole ceremony flawlessly.
Aside from Jody's professional talent, she was so down to earth and pleasant to work with. We trusted her completely and she helped us build the perfect ceremony during COVID. My wife and I are so happy that we chose Jody to officiate our wedding and will certainly be recommending her to all our friends!

Striking Gold Twice: COVID Wedding and Vow Renewal

This was our second wedding with Jody. Like many other couples who were thrown for a loop because of COVID, Jody saved the day for us the first time around. What we couldn’t have known was how amazing our celebration one year later would be because of her and her endless dedication to making our commitment as a couple something that transcends a physical ceremony. After two weddings with Jody exactly one year apart, we are able to say with 1,000% confidence that Jody is the one you need in your corner. Cliches and generalizations had no place in our ceremonies because she took the time to get to know us as individuals and partners as well as to know the intricacies of our unique story. Not many officiants would meet you or Face-Time with you even more than once if they had to in order to iron out a detailed plan. From there and from complete scratch, she created a ceremony that honored our inputs, reflected our journey, and captured the attention of everyone in the room. On our actually day, it did not feel like a wedding with an officiant. It felt more like a celebration with friends and family. Overall, Jody was prompt, passionate, and professional, and we would definitely recommend her for your wedding day!

July 2021 Wedding

I would like to preface this review by saying my (now) husband and I were together for nearly ten years before we got married. We wanted to find an officiant who could not only adequately convey our lengthy love story, but would actually take a second to get to know us before speaking on our behalf. Since neither of us are affiliated with a particular church, we went looking for an officiant that fit the bill. Full disclosure, we interviewed 3 other officiants before Jody and nearly ALL of them said that they would just send us a questionnaire to fill out and that would serve as the content for the ceremony. For some reason, that just didn’t sit right with me. (No hard feelings if that’s your thing!) I didn’t want to be married by a complete stranger, and I didn’t want the ceremony to feel like a bunch of random details a person got off of a single form about us. We wanted to find someone who would actually meet us, feel our energy, and then speak to that on our wedding day. I can happily say that Jody checked all our boxes!

Jody is easy to talk to, helpful, and insightful beyond belief. She is truly authentic, spiritual, and 100% honest with you at all times. We were lucky because we booked her 2 years in advance, which gave us a great deal of time to build a true friendship with her. She took the time to meet with us and get to know us. She gave us advice on things that weren’t even wedding related! She customizes ALL her ceremonies after meeting with you so that none of them are the exact same. She believes that each couple, and each story, is unique, and that is reflected in her work. She is a talented writer and speaker. She worked closely with us to design a hand-crafted ceremony that perfectly reflected who we are as people, both together and apart. She arrived promptly on the day of our wedding, and delivered the ceremony flawlessly. It left the whole audience in tears! I would 100% recommend Jody and her services to any couple that wants their voice to be heard on their wedding day.

Excellence at it's best.

Wow there isn't enough words to describe how happy and fortunate we were to have Reverend Jody officiate our wedding. She was very easy to get a hold on and responded to my emails emediately. She took the time to get to know us on a deeper level and reflect that on her writing. Our guest were impressed by the vows and she had some humor to it to keep them laughing. We highly recommend Reverend Jody and her services.

The best officiant for personalizing our wedding

In searching for a wedding officiant, I wanted someone who has married a diverse range of couples, who is modern and progressive yet also knows how to tie in thoughtful tradition for family’s sake. Rev Jody was perfect for the role as officiant. She is very responsive and took time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple. She is super charismatic and knows how to ask questions that help her articulate your love story in such a beautiful way.
For the wedding, Rev Jody showed up ahead of time and worked with our vendors to ensure everything was ready. She took the time to meet the other important people in our bridal party, including the two mothers who did readings during the ceremony. Rev Jody was effortless in her facilitation, knowing when to step away for certain moments/pictures, and helping to usher the party out at the end. Her words lifted all of us, there was not a dry eye in that room!! She listened to our wants and needs, included a thoughtful prayer at the start, and helped us fine-tune our individual vows. Plus, she printed everything in advance so that we didn’t have to worry about carrying up with us. We would absolutely recommend Rev Jody to any and all couples who want to build a true bond and friendship with their officiant.

If you’d like to see her in action, we are happy to share with you our ceremony on publicly available YouTube, which starts closer to the 40 min mark: https://youtu.be/tOcJdD5vtRk

The very best!

Jody was absolutely incredible! The ceremony was our favorite part of our wedding day, largely due to Jody’s magnificent delivery. She captured our love story so beautifully and accurate. Our guests were so impressed. She was responsive and available from the very beginning, always ready to answer any questions or provide feedback. She was so easy to work with as she was open to our ideas and vision. Jody really took the time to learn about our story and backgrounds which made our experience very special. Her ability to to create such an individualized and genuine ceremony was beyond impressive. Going with Jody as our officiant was the best decision we made for our wedding!

Can't Recommend Enough

After the pandemic made my fiancee and I change our wedding plans, we decided to have an elopement in Hoboken. Jody came to us per the recommendation of our wedding coordinator, and since we wanted a secular ceremony, I have to admit I was initially nervous seeing "Reverend" in the title. Thankfully, our anxieties were wholly unfounded - Jody wants first and foremost to create a personalized experience for your ceremony. She met with Tina and me over FaceTime and we told her our story, then she helped us outline a framework for how we'd like the ceremony to go (fairly easily, considering the guest count of zero) and gave us some pointers on writing vows. This extra personalization made an already quite intimate affair much more personal, as Jody wrote us a ceremony script very much tailored to us. The ceremony definitely exceeded our expectations and I feel deeply honored that Jody (and her impressive leopard print coat) was our officiant. Like the title says, I can't recommend her highly enough!

Jody was such a wonderful officiant for our small wedding! Before our wedding, she met with us over video call due to the pandemic. She really took the time to get to know us, and she wrote a lovely, personalized ceremony. Throughout the entire process, she was professional and responsive. We highly recommend Jody!

Great Experience with Jody!

My husband and I were supposed to have a big wedding in September 2020. That clearly wasn't going to be a possibility because of the pandemic, but we had a lot of trouble deciding what to do instead. It wasn't until a few weeks before our date that we decided to have a small elopement in Jersey City. We found Jody through Wedding Wire and she really helped us figure out what we wanted the day to look like. She was incredibly flexible, especially as we changed times and locations a couple times as we were planning. She helped us figure out what we wanted our ceremony to look like and really put together a ceremony that felt a lot like us, despite only knowing us for a few short weeks. We'd highly recommend Jody!

A Truly Inspiring Experience!

We are so grateful for the time Jody spent with us and the care she took when writing and delivering our ceremony. We could not have imagined a more special and personalized experience. When we were lucky enough to be put in contact with Jody, we only had a few weeks before our wedding. She quickly was able to make time for us that weekend and what was scheduled to be less than an hour became a 2-hour conversation. Through her thoughtful responses and questions, it was clear how important it was to Jody that she accurately captured our relationship and understood our story (all 8+ years of it). After these two hours, we better understood ourselves and our relationship through Jody’s insights and this time together helped immensely in writing our vows and truly appreciating our love for each other. On our wedding day, we ended up having to make last minute changes, and Jody was able to accommodate us, and her ceremony made the event so special. Even our friends and family members were moved by how well she understood us and captured us in her writing! We cannot thank Jody enough for all that she has done for us, and we highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a personalized and beautiful ceremony, performed by a sincere individual who is acutely in tune with the couples she works with. Thank you, Jody!

Fantastic!

Rev. Jody wrote a a personalized ceremony for my husband Joel and I that had our guests asking us if she'd known us for years. Jody has a very special spirit that adds a beauty and solemnity to the ceremony. Her delivery and presence made our wedding ceremony feel romantic, deeply meaningful, and joyous. We can't imagine anyone doing a more amazing job than she did for us.

Absolutely perfect wedding ceremony!

After 2 cancelled weddings in the UK (thanks to Covid!), we decided to do a small intimate wedding in Hoboken. We met Jody in her garden on several occasions and she really took the time to get to know us before our big day. She helped walk us through everything we needed to do and was great at communicating (ensuring we didn't miss anything important!)

She wrote and delivered a fantastic ceremony, setting the tone perfectly, and interacted with our families on zoom to make them feel part of the day. This was really important to us as half of our family are in New Zealand and the other half in the UK.

We really couldn't recommend Jody enough! Thank you Jody, for making what we thought would be a daunting process so fun and easy. Thank you for including our families

Amazing experience from beginning to end!

There are not enough kind words to describe Jody!

We originally had a Church wedding planned for September 19th 2020. Due to COVID we had to rethink the whole layout of our wedding a month before. We decided to have an intimate wedding celebration with only our closest family and friends.

Jody is a family friend of my husbands and when we decided to tie the knot in my parents’ backyard it was an easy decision. Jody was SO easy to work with and I truly felt like we were meant to have her officiate our wedding.

She met with us twice for 2 hours each so that we could fully get to know each other and she could better understand our love story. She was so easy to talk to and it made this whole process seamless. During the ceremony I truly feel she was able to tell our love story in a way that was so special and intimate that all our guests left with a better understanding of whom we are as a couple.

Jody was always available to answer any questions and even walked us through the process of obtaining the marriage license and where to mail everything. She also helped by giving us some Vow examples because it can be intimidating to sit down and write Vows without ever having heard any before.

She took who we are as a couple and magnified it in a way that we will cherish forever.

I am forever grateful for everything she did for us and I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Mr. Pawlowicz

Jody was by far one of the most kind genuine person we have met during our journey. She took the time to get know both of us, and made our ceremony naturally beautiful. We could have not picked a better officiant for our marriage. I highly recommend her.

Perfect, Beautiful Wedding Ceremony Created & Delivered By Jody

We chose Jody to write and deliver our wedding ceremony and it was a wonderful experience! We could not have asked for anyone better to work with for our special day.

With our wedding in Jersey City, we looked for an officiant in the area who would truly take the time to get to know us and deliver a meaningful ceremony. Jody certainly did! We initially met with her to learn a little about each other and discuss our approaches to the ceremony. Jody was easy to talk to, made great recommendations and we instinctively knew she was the right person to marry us.

In our second meeting with Jody, we shared our love story with her. Jody was able to take the various anecdotes and stories from our courtship and weave them into a meaningful ceremony with an overarching theme. She emailed us an initial draft of the ceremony and we all worked together to tweak it to perfection. She also provided a helpful list of reading options for a friend who was doing a reading in the wedding.

On our big day, Jody was there early and delivered our ceremony beautifully, professionally and with humor. The ceremony was better than we could have ever imagined and many guests came up to tell us how much they loved the wedding that Jody performed. If you are looking for someone special to collaborate with you on a ceremony that truly speaks to you and your fiancé as a couple, Jody is the right choice!

Outstanding!

With Covid-19 changing our original plans to be married in City Hall we were in need of finding someone to be our officiant. My fiancé and I found Rev. Jody online, contacted her, and within minutes we heard back from her. She was professional but very easy to talk with. After our initial conversation we scheduled time to speak to her so we could all get to know one another more. Jody made the process so easy, exciting, and special. She wrote our vows and allowed us to make changes if we wanted. The day of the wedding she was at the location with ample time to spare. She was truly wonderful in presiding over our wedding. We are blessed to have met her and honored that she made the day even more special for us.

Perfection - choose jody

When two people and their families come together in marriage, they are like two countries being joined by a bridge. You wouldn’t take a chance on forever by allowing a shaky bridge to join all that you and your partner are, and rest assured, Jody is the farthest thing from a shaky bridge. One second you’re a couple smiling over dinner at the table together before watching your favorite show and then the next you’re engaged and thrusted into the world of figuring out your wedding. It is challenging to find the right place, the right aura, and the right energy that matches the love within your relationship. It’s rare to find all of that in the person officiating your wedding. Jody is that person. She speaks the one universal language - the human experience. Jody went above and beyond in her quest to identify and highlight our story, our relationship, and the nuances that make our relationship meaningful to us. Not only did she want to write our story and make it as specific and unique to us as possible, but she also sat with us, face to face, in order to understand and feel the connection between us. She involved us in the process. And when quarantine life changed the circumstances and location of our original plan, she was flexible, accommodating, and committed to the intentions we both set. She helped us pivot, change directions, and still end up right where we were supposed to be on our original date- getting married in her backyard.

With Jody, there is no script that she gives all couples. She didn’t just insert our names in a template. She created something that didn’t exist before because she took the time and dedication to make it exist. She made it authentic because she, herself, is authentic. If you’re going to invest quality time in everything that makes a wedding special to you and your relationship, then Jody is the one that’s going to bring it to life and make it timeless.

Special Intimate Ceremony

We had a rather unusual wedding in the middle of the pandemic. Although we're planning on having more formal weddings/celebrations with family and friends next year, we're grateful to have found Jody who made our union official in the state. The ceremony was performed in her backyard, and with just us and our witnesses, the venue was perfect. Even though it was a very low-key ceremony whose main goal was to make our marriage legally recognized, Jody made it a special process beyond merely signing papers. She was also very flexible, responsive, and easy to communicate with.

Jody was all we could have wished for in these trying times.

If you're looking for an officiant that could make a quarantine wedding as relaxing as possible, look no further. On the day of our wedding our officiant got sick, but thankfully we found Jody and we could not have been happier to have done so. She was very friendly, understanding and flexible. We only wish we could have spent more time and go through the regular experience of wedding planning with her. She provided us with a venue and gave us clear instructions to make our small wedding successful on a very, very short notice. Our wedding was streamed for the rest of our friends and family and she made sure to engage with them and make them feel like they were a part of it, which we really appreciated. Her eloquence and kind words were very touching. Someday when this is all over and we can have an actual wedding with all our friends and family we would love to have her back. I wholeheartedly reccommend her to everyone.

Most influential officiant

I didn’t have any idea as to who I should hire as our wedding officiant, but came across Jody’s amazing reviews and knew I had to reach out. Luckily, she had an opening on our wedding day! This was the best vendor choice I made. She was very understanding, warm and made scheduling time with her with such ease. Driving to Hoboken to meet with her was honestly something I looked forward to as part of our wedding planning. She took the time (hours) to listen to our story and understand us inside and out. This showed us that she truly cared and was passionate about her work. Throughout the process, Jody was always encouraging and lead us in the right direction. On the big day, she made us feel very comfortable at the altar and came prepared. She truly made our union of marriage special and an experience we will always treasure. I highly recommend Jody to a couple who’s looking for the missing puzzle piece to their perfect wedding day. 5 stars all around!!!! Thank you so much Jody!!!

All-around fantastic experience working with Jody

Jody is an excellent officiant who made our wedding ceremony very special for us and for our guests. The warmth and comfortable vibe she created at our wedding would've made you think she's known us for years and is our "cool aunt." We enjoyed the whole process of working with Jody, from the in-person meetings where she asked questions about our story, how we met, what we love about each other, etc. (she served us tea and cookies as if we were part of her own family), to the collaborative writing and feedback sessions, to her presentation itself on the big day. She even figured out a way to creatively craft the ceremony so that we could make all sides of the family happy; we are not religious, but with Jody's help, we were able to incorporate just the right amount of spiritual nods and prayer that everyone was pleased -- from grandmothers to college friends and all 150 people in between. There were even some tears of joy coming from unexpected eyes! We would highly recommend Jody for any type of wedding ceremony. She is a fantastic person and will really make your wedding day unforgettable.

Amazing Experience Working with Reverend Jody

Reverend Jody is very easy to work with. Prior to working with Reverend Jody, I was able to see her marry my cousin and his wife. When we became engaged less than a year later, we decided to reach out to Jody. The whole process was exciting! From our first session with Jody to our last, she made us feel so comfortable and brought our love story to life. The way she is able to listen to a couple's love story and then creatively write it for a ceremony is amazing. More than half of our guests stated how much they loved our ceremony because it was about us and our love.

Lovely, Fun, and Professional!

We met with a few other officiants and NOT ONE Of Them comes Even Close to someone like Jody. She’s very welcoming from the moment you meet her. When we first met her, we just knew we had to book her! Everything of who she is gave us a good vibe that she’s the one for our wedding day. We feel extremely lucky to have found someone like her for our special day. She’s very on time and on top of everything and more! When we told her how me and my husband met, she made us feel very good about sharing our love story with her. We don’t have enough words to describe her amazing work and commitment to us. Trust us, when we tell all of you that she is THE ONE for your wedding day! To the future Mr. & Mrs. who are still looking for an officiant, LOOK NO MORE. You found already the one you want to spend the rest of your life with, Now you need to find THE ONE who will marry you. And Jody IS The One for your wedding day. Our ceremony was beautiful because of her :) What a great time it was to have worked with her this entire time! Thank you Jody!!!👩🏻‍⚖️❤️❤️❤️5/11/19 Xoxoxo

Fantastic Personalized Wedding Ceremony

Reverend Jody did an outstanding job with our wedding ceremony. Everything went smoothly from the first time that we contacted her. She sat down with us for several hours before writing the ceremony to really get to know us. It was very evident that she captured our personalities and relationship in her writing. She was very responsive and gave us plenty of time to review her draft of the ceremony, but for us it was perfect on the first read through. On the day of the wedding, she was professional and brought the perfect mix of formality and fun. Many of our guests commented on how wonderful a job she did and how the ceremony fit the two of us perfectly. We could not agree more. Jody is an excellent person to work with and we would strongly recommend her to anyone.

Would give 10 stars if I could!

Jody is unlike any other wedding officiant I've seen. We could not be happier with our experience working with her to create our ceremony and to be there to marry us on the day of our wedding. From our very first meeting with her, we knew that she would create something truly beautiful and different. We wanted our ceremony to be unique and to give our guests a good feel for what makes our relationship so special. We met with Jody for many hours to discuss our relationship, how we met, how things evolved and how we feel about each other. It was so evident from the very first draft of the ceremony that she understood us fully. She put our love into words in a way that we could not have even done ourselves. We also decided to write our own vows which she helped us to articulate. On the day of the wedding she was such a calming presence and we felt so happy to be standing there with her. If there's one comment we've received the most about the wedding it's that people could really feel our love throughout the entire day and night. We credit that fully to Jody's ceremony setting the stage for a night filled with genuine love and a personal touch, rather than any old canned ceremony script. We are eternally grateful and know Jody will remain an important figure in our lives. Highly, highly recommend!

Jody is timeless, flexible and fun

Jody was exactly what we were looking for, we wanted warm, simple and joyful - nothing over dramatic. Jody was like Gumby, she could bend and twist and be the officiant we needed because she heard us and she wanted to give us the ceremony that suited Us as a couple. She read us and our guests, and totally went along with us for the ceremony - we wanted a coin toss as to who would say their vows first, she worked it into our ceremony. Jody is timeless - a joy to work with!

Absolutely Incredible Experience !!

We had the pleasure of working with Jody for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we had made! The process of finding a reverend may not always be easy but we were lucky to meet with Jody first on our long list of "to-do's". Luckily, she had us hooked at the start! From the beginning introductions she was always very responsive, kind, caring and funny. We met with Jody for the first time a few months before the wedding and we were greeted with a big hug, some apps and good laughs (to us, this was an important note because we wanted that warm feeling at our wedding!). During our first meeting she really helped us understand the process, what needed to be done, a timeline, ceremony styles and the writings she had done for her clients. We were blown away with the amount of detail and love she put into all weddings before us! We wasted no time in hiring her!

From there on out, we met with Jody a few more times to really tell our story (mind you, we had 12 years to tell). After hours & hours of listening, pages & pages of notes, Jody put together one of the most endearing readings - it was heartfelt, loving and even a bit funny - everything we could have wanted and more (and I mean that from the bottom of my heart)! When we received the first draft we actually cried tears of happiness and only needed to make minor revisions. It was incredible how Jody could capture every part of our love story and put it into such amazing words.

Our wedding day came and Jody arrived early just so she could spend a few minutes with us before the ceremony -- this was everything I needed to calm my nerves. Jody had become so close to us, she really understood both of us separately but also as one. She is a very calming force. My husband appreciated this side of her greatly!

During the ceremony we had a bit of mic trouble and instead of getting flustered, Jody spoke even louder so the crowd could hear and cracked a joke of, "I'm Italian, I can project!", everyone in the crowd laughed and we went on with the ceremony. It was magical.

To this day, we still have family and friends asking about Jody and the incredible job she did.

We don't know what we would have done without her -- she is a MUST at any wedding.

Wonderful Officiant

Jody was an amazing, fantastic officiant and we feel really lucky to have had the opportunity to work with her! She met with us when we were first deciding on officiants, described her style and options, and showed us several unique ceremonies from other couples. We got a great feel for how open she is to tailoring a ceremony to each couple and making it as religious or non-religious as we were comfortable with. Jody then stayed in touch over email and sent us potential readings. We met with her a couple months before the wedding to create our ceremony. During this meeting, she went through our entire relationship with us to get to know us. She spent time with us and really seemed to care about getting it right. She created a personalized ceremony with our story and guided us in writing our own vows since that’s what we wanted to do.
Overall Jody really worked with us to make sure our ceremony was not cookie cutter and went above beyond to make our day special and meaningful. We would recommend Jody to anyone looking for a truly memorable and authentic ceremony to celebrate their marriage.

You will thank yourself for partnering with Jody for your wedding ceremony. We are so incredibly grateful to Jody as she saved our day! We had originally planned to have a grandfather officiate our wedding ceremony. As the day quickly approached we realized that this task may be too challenging and sought out an officiant with not too much time in advance.

Jody is in high demand but it is for a reason. Despite this, she had availability for our wedding and took us on, not because she needed to, she had another wedding on Friday and our wedding was far for her, but because she wanted to help us. Despite the time constraints, Jody was insistent that we would spend time together prior to our wedding. We were out of state so we could't meet in person so we improvised. We spent hours on the phone, video conferencing and it was such a nice experience. My husband (then fiancé) and I had dated for so many years, yet in a few hours on the phone with Jody, we had pealed back beautiful layers together to help Jody create the ceremony and learn about us as a unit.

We had always planned to write our own vows but when we read Jody's ceremony, there was no need. She wrote them for us. When she read them, she exuded our personality. Jody brought us to our ceremony and she brought her wisdom and wit. Our guests adored her and sang her praises after the ceremony and are still today. Jody makes it easy and meaningful, lighthearted and serious. She is worth every single penny and you should run not walk, to book her for your event.

We hired Jody for our wedding and she did an amazing job! She spent a lot of time to get to know us on a personal level to tell our story and write a ceremony that was very meaningful to us. My husband and I are both non-religious but we also come from different-faith backgrounds. In order to make our families happy, Jody was able to incorporate a prayer for his Catholic side and the glass breaking tradition for my Jewish side. She was so accommodating that she even agreed to do our wedding on her birthday! I highly recommend hiring Jody as your officiant.

The process of getting the ceremony written with Jody was about as smooth and painless as anyone could possibly want. We had two face to face meetings, and I emphasize face to face, with Jody to hash out what we were looking for in a wedding ceremony. I prefer to work face to face with my vendors because we prefer a more human interaction and really appreciated Jody giving us the time to do that.
Jody showed us a few sample ceremony samples so that we may decide on the right tone for our ceremony, and she allowed us to write our own vows and pick any readings we might want to include.
The final ceremony was beautifully written. We had a unique story, and we were glad that she chose to include it in the ceremony. Everyone thought it was sweet and heartwarming.
Jody was also super helpful in walking through the process of getting a marriage licence. I really appreciate that as I really didn't know what I was doing.

My wife and I were extremely pleased with the service provided to us by Jody. From our first meeting, all the way to our wedding ceremony, we always felt like she really cared about us as human beings and that she wanted to give us a ceremony that was unique to us as a couple. We spent hours telling her all about the entire history or our relationship and she was always interested to hear more. She was wonderful in helping us to verbalize some of the feelings that we had about the whole occasion and that was something that we truly valued. Her decorum and poise on the day of was exactly what we were hoping for when we first sought out an officiant. She brought gravitas to the occasion, but the affair was still calmly light-hearted. Working with Jody was simply a pleasure, and we can’t recommended her highly enough!

Jody was wonderful to work with! She took time to get to know us each individually and as a couple and provided a truly touching ceremony. We both answer "perfect!" when asked how our big day was, and Jody was a big part of that. We highly recommend her for anyone looking for an officiant who goes above and beyond to put a personal touch on your ceremony.

We started off wanting a quick event to legalize our marriage since we are planning bigger weddings in our home countries. However Jody did a great job of explaining the importance of the legal event and persuaded us to think of meaningful things we could do and say to celebrate the significance of the commitment we were making. We are so grateful she did because it was simply a marvelous, intimate and memorable way to begin a wonderful chapter in our lives. She took the time to get to know us and it made such a difference in the warmth and familiarity she brought to our little ceremony on our balcony. Thanks so much Jody.

Where do we begin with our dear Jody? My fiance and I had absolutely no idea who she was when we reached out on WeddingWire, but I just had a feeling by her profile that she would be perfect to officiate our ceremony! Just that feeling has turned into what we hope to be a lifetime of friendship and counsel. Jody will tailor your ceremony to whatever you believe; whether you’re spiritual, religious, etc she will show you examples galore to make sure that your special, most important day is everything it should be. If you share the same opinion as we do, that the ceremony is the top priority, because it is the actual meaning of the marriage, then you have to choose Jody.

Beyond our ceremony, Jody has forged an everlasting bond with us and has helped us through countless tough experiences leading up to the wedding. Every minute we spend with her we feel more connected to each other and our own selves. I could go on and on about how brilliant, genuine, kind and special she is but I would be here a while ;).

If you’re considering Jody for your wedding there really is nowhere else to look. She will actually care about you and not treat you like just another couple. She is a complete gem.

We love you!

To say that Jody is amazing is an understatement. My husband and I went into this very skeptical. We interviewed 3 officiants. Jody stood out in so many ways. She not only got to know us, she built us a beautiful ceremony that truly reflected who we are as a couple. It was so touching that our family members approached us and said it was the best ceremony they had ever attended. We feel so blessed to have Jody as a friend now. Our picture with Jody from our special day has already made its way to a frame in our house. We would highly recommend her!

Jody thank you for making our wedding such a memorable day. We enjoyed working with you and appreciate all of your time and efforts in helping us create the perfect ceremony. We are still reminiscing in the moment, while our family and friends continue to share with us how wonderful a moment it was. We found Jody online through Wedding Wire, and after an introductory phone call we knew we had to learn more about her services. The first-time meeting with Jody we instantly knew that this was going to be an extremely comfortable setting and with so much stress and hype around planning a wedding we were so thankful for her approach and keeping everyone at ease. As we continued to meet for future planning sessions we got to experience just how personable Jody was. Before we even got into the wedding information she was asking us about things we had going on with work and family, it was always so natural to get together and get started. Weather it was in person, over the phone, or email, Jody was very easy to communicate with. Our communication throughout the entire journey was one of the keys to all of the success. When it came to meetings the scheduling was seamless because Jody had a ton of flexibility and availability which was a great advantage. That allowed us to stay on track for the big day around work and personal schedules. It was very special to be in such an open and transparent environment. We all would fully share with each out and lay it all out to get the ball rolling, the brainstorming and drafting at each and every session was super productive. With her guidance creating a wedding ceremony was a breeze, yet it was still our own story, everything started to come together and before you know it your saying I Do! The most impressive gift that Jody has is her ability to listen. This was the most important day of our lives, and we were lucky to experience it with the most professional wedding officiant. Thank you for our beautiful day!

My wife and I hired Jody as our officiant for our wedding on 10/15/17, and we could not have been happier with everything she did. From our first meeting, when we talked about how she generally writes the ceremonies, to the pleasant afternoon we spent together, talking about the history of our relationship and helping Jody get a sense of who we are as a couple, to the day of the wedding itself, everything was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. One of my relatives said, after having heard the ceremony, that if they "hadn't known us before, they would have after that ceremony; [Jody] perfectly captured who [we] are as a couple." The emotion was genuine, the ceremony heartfelt, and we could not have been more pleased.

My husband and I used Rev. Jody as our officiant for our wedding on 10/6/17 and we are SO happy that we did! From the 1st time we met with Jody, we knew we wanted her to officiate our ceremonny. She made us feel so at ease and comfortable, it was as if we had known her for years. The ceremony she wrote for us captured EVERYTHING we wanted and was delivered perfectly! We received so many compliments from our guests on how personalized and beautiful the ceremony was, and how it was so "us", which was exactly what we were looking for. We highly highly recommend Jody!!! She was an absolute pleasure to work with and the ceremony was the perfect beginning to an amazing day! Thank you again Jody for everything!!!!!!

Jody was one of the best choices we made during our wedding process. Not only is she an amazing officiant but she is a good person to have on your team when you are stressed out about the wedding. She becomes a friend in the process and is someone who I hope to stay in contact with in the future to help with other life obstacles. My wife and I are not religious but Jody was still able to express our love to the crowd in a way that anyone of any religion could truly feel touched by. Sitting with her in her home and telling her our story helped reinforce the love we have for each other and reminded us why we are getting married. The wedding planning process can be extremely stressful and can sometimes be a true test to a relationship. Jody is not just an officiant but she is there to support you during this stressful time. Jody is able to point out things about you as a couple that you didn't even know were true and this helps confirm the love you have for each other. I still think about the session we first had with Jody and how somehow I almost started crying explaining how much love I have for my wife (fiance at the time). Jody was able to bring that out in me. Jody was everything you would want in an officiant which I'm sure you can tell by just reading some of her amazing reviews. She is obviously an excellent public speaker, writer, very professional, has a flexible schedule and she even has a great sense of humor. Also because she is knowledgeable in other spiritual ways she was able to calm my nerves down on the actual day of my wedding. It is easy to forget what you are actually planning during the process. When choosing your officiant you have to remember that the actual ceremony itself is the event that people are coming to see. Jody was the perfect person to host this ceremony and absolutely worth every penny.

If you are looking for an officiant who is professional, kind hearted, responsive, well spoken and written, and someone who customizes your ceremony to you and your significant other look no further, Jody is just that. We met with Jody at her home where she greeted us warmly and made us feel welcome as soon as we walked in. While at Jody’s we spent a few hours talking, laughing and getting to know each other. We left our meeting with Jody knowing she was going to be the perfect officiant for our wedding. Jody created our ceremony and urged feedback and suggestions from us. We did not change much other than a sentence or two as the ceremony she wrote was beautiful. After the final ceremony was written and approved by us, Jody urged us to try and not read it so on our wedding day we hear it with fresh ears, which was great advice. Jody listened to our thoughts, got to know us and was able to create the most beautiful ceremony that really embodied my husband and me. She brought things into the ceremony she had learned about us during our meeting and included a few religious things as we requested some religion be included for our grandparents. At our cocktail hour we had everyone coming up to us saying how much they loved the ceremony. My mom couldn’t believe how much the ceremony reflected my husband and me and our relationship. She said it was the perfect amount of funny, serious and romantic that she could have ever imagined for our wedding ceremony. That is exactly how we felt. We love to laugh with one another and it meant so much that Jody was able to reflect that in our ceremony while keeping it serious and romantic all at the same time. No two ceremonies Jody does are the same. She really takes the time to get to know you and create the perfect ceremony for you. We could not have picked a better officiant. Jody, we cannot thank you enough for making our wedding day beyond wonderful. The ceremony you created for us is one that we will never forget.

As Jody is a family friend of my now husband, it was an easy decision to choose her. We were incredibly impressed with her process. We met with her three times in person as a couple and she asked us to tell her our story as she asked questions and took notes. It was fun to be able to talk with her about our experience as she is all about creating a service unique to us. She offered several options for tone and formality of language for us to choose from and over the next two months crafted her words to suit us. We went went over drafts of the ceremony together and it was done!

Her presentation of the ceremony was flawless - the speed at which she spoke - carefully and deliberately and with honest feeling for us as people - came through and moved everyone in the room. Her humor and heartfelt caring for us and the importance of our decision to marry created an atmosphere of love and exuberance for us and our guests that we will never forget. She is a wonderful and positive spirit who I can't say enough good things about!

There's something about Jody that makes you feel like she is part of your family even after only knowing her for a short time. After our initial Skype conversation with Jody, my wife and I decided we felt pretty good about choosing Jody to preside over our wedding ceremony. When it came time to write the ceremony itself, Jody invited us to her home for coffee and conversation. I don't think I will ever forget how I felt leaving Jody's house that day. My wife and I are generally very hesitant to share our feelings with anyone, but somehow we opened up to Jody. Walking back to my car, I was completely confident that we had made the right choice with Jody. Leading up to our wedding day we worked with Jody to write a truly personal ceremony. On our big day Jody was everywhere she needed to be and the wedding ceremony was flawless.

Jody is a professional and a fantastic writer. But more importantly, she was able to connect personally with Roxanne and me. I think, if I had to give advice to couples looking for an officiant, find someone you can connect emotionally with. Your wedding ceremony should be filled with emotion, namely the love between you and your partner, and the love your family and friends have for the two of you. Jody has an undeniable talent in bringing that emotion out, and understanding how you and your partner feel about each other on a very deep level. I would recommend Jody without reservation.

Jody, thank you for being an important part of the best day of my life.

I was married Dec 3, 2016 and could not have been more pleased to have chosen Rev. Jody to be our officiant! She helped make the process of creating a ceremony and writing our vows easy and stress free. I am frequently described as "Type A" and Jody made me feel secure through the whole process; I knew what to expect when and she was always following up with me before I ever had to ask her for anything. She is very kind, sweet and funny. She meet with my husband and I a few times before the wedding so that we could get to know each other, and from these meetings she wrote a personal ceremony that was very us and our friends and family loved it. After the ceremony text was finalized she advised me not to look at it again before the wedding so it would be "fresh" on the day of. Probably some of the best advice I received as it made me so much more present in our ceremony and it was new and special all over again. I could not recommend her more highly!

Jody was our best find for our wedding! When originally searching officiants, I was looking for someone local (my husband and I got married at the Chart House in Weehawken) to minimize on travel costs. When I found and met with Jody, I knew I didn't need to look any further! She did an absolute amazing job creating a ceremony that matched our ideas of what our ceremony would be. Jody took the time to talk with us and really get to know my husband and I. She was able to make our ceremony personal, but still balanced faith and emphasized our love story. My husband and I got so many compliments on our ceremony from our family members and friends. You will not be disappointed with Jody. She is the best!

Rev. Jody was absolutely wonderful. She was able to accommodate everything we asked for; from date, time and even last minute change of location. Her ceremony speech was very touching, came from the heart, and surprisingly specific to our relationship. A week prior to the ceremony, we had one Skype session with her and a few text exchanges, and from there, she was able to put together a heart felt, beautiful, moving speech. We felt she was able to capture our emotions and journey, and made us feel as if we've known her for years! Jody even went as far as offering us an after marriage toast. We're so grateful for her and thankful she was the one to officiated us. She gave us a beautiful ceremony, one that we'll never forget. Thank you so much Rev. Jody. Xoxo, Hong Nhung and Hai. You're the best!

Rev. Jody Lotito Levine is an exceptional officiant, but above all she is an extraordinarily warm and genuine soul! Initially my fiance and I had found her by chance (here on WeddingWire), but by the end of our journey, we both KNEW that Jody was destined to bless us and our marriage. Jody's kind, understanding and loving demeanor quickly pulled us in. She is patient and listened to our every word...our every sentiment. Jody was always available and was truly interested in getting to know us, our love story. She felt it within her to represent our love in the most honorable, respectful, beautiful and unique of ceremonies. Her guidance has been remarkable, and we know this to be true due to her compassionate, caring and easy-going nature. Through our meetings, prior to our wedding day, the three of us found an irreplaceable and special interconnectedness. Her presence was duly noted during and after our ceremony as our guests had many compliments about Jody. They told us that her words were both soft and alluring and her spirit bright and sincere! Trust in me when I say it was absolutely a ceremony to remember! In Jody, not only did we find an outstanding officiant, but we also found a heartfelt friend.

Jody officiated my parents 50th anniversary. She played a crucial part in helping it become a very meaningful occasion. She captured the essence of my parents journey together and throughout the process she was genuine , loving, and open to all possibilities . She was also very detail oriented and thorough within all aspects of her services . We asked for an officiant but we got a spiritual advisor and an event planner as bonuses. You will be completely and utterly satisfied if you are fortunate enough to connect with Jody to perform your ceremony . Jody has left a lasting impression on our family and we will forever be connected to her.

I got married during the second largest snowstorm in NYC history and Jody saved the day. My wedding morning started a little chaotic due to the storm and all seemed to be going well until our original officiant called to say he wouldn't be able to make our ceremony. We were at the point of just not having a ceremony until Jody was recommended by a friend of ours. And sure enough it was the biggest blessing in disguise. Within 1 hour Jody arrived to our venue and got to know us in a crunch. It was amazing after talking to her for 5 mins she was able to give us the most beautiful touching ceremony we will never forget. She literally has the most amazing way of reading people. I have to say the best thing that happened on our wedding is our original officiant being snowed in. I believe Jody was meant to be with us on our wedding day, she truly loves what she does and is someone who loves a good love story. We are so grateful to have met Jody and she was always have a special place in our hearts.

Reverend Jody was absolutely amazing. The ceremony that she created for us was so personal and wonderfully written. She was so lovely to work with and her genuine love for what she does shows in every step of the process. She truly listened to who we are and created a service that we will never forget. We are so grateful to have had the chance to be married by her and we would HIGHLY recommend to her anyone looking for a truly personalized and meaningful ceremony.

We could not have found a better person to marry us than Rev. Jody Lotito Levine! She has such wonderful energy and insight, a clear understanding of love and all that goes with it! Mind you we didnt give her much to go on, and she did a fantastic job at pulling it all together. Everyone was very impressed with her and told us afterwards it was the most authentic and genuine wedding/civil union that they had ever witnessed. We really owe that to Rev. Jody, she made everyone laugh and cry tears of joy. My husband and I highly recommend her.

Andy and I had a great experience working with Jody, from the first emails all the way to our wedding day! Her warmth and compassion comes through in all that she does. She went beyond what we expected from an officiant, for our first meeting we spent nearly 3 hours chatting and getting to know one another. She made us feel very comfortable with her creative process, and we felt we were involved in the designing of our ceremony. We've had many friends and family members compliment the ceremony saying it was personal and touching, and we couldn't agree more! Thank you, Jody, for helping to make our wedding day so special!

Rev. Jody is the best of the best! She brings her warm and loving spirit to whatever event you are planning. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to have the personal service of Rev. Jody along with a loving and warm heart to walk with you through all of your planning and be by your side throughout your event.

Rev. Jody Lotito Levine is wonderful and an absolute delight. I am so happy that she officiated at our wedding. She is a totally warm person and answered all of my many questions openly, honestly, and with utter patience and expertise. I can't find enough superlatives to describe her and readily recommend her services.

Jody is a gem; She is genuine, aware, honest & giving of her time, energy and knowledge. She not only dedicated herself to the details that revolved around our ceremony, helping us with creating very personal vows, but also walked us through some difficulties in a very nurturing & spiritual way. She provided a safe, encouraging & reassuring environment for us to be open with ourselves and each other. Jody turned what I felt was a stressful, overwhelming, unenjoyable experience of wedding planning into an opportunity to learn better and deeper communicate with my now husband and further grow our bond. On the day of our wedding Jody arrived at our venue early to make sure things were running smoothly. She was a calming force throughout the entire process. There is no price you can put on the services she offers. She is a profound human being that I feel fortunate to know. I would recommend Jody to anyone and am so thankful she was recommended to me.

Rev. Jody Lotito Levine was an integral part of our wedding ceremony as well as our entire wedding. We were so blessed to receive her warmth, her caring and her very special connection with us and with the process.
Rev. Jody is a remarkable person with lots to give and lots to share. She helped us to mold our wedding into the most precious time I could have imagined. She made it personal to us and understood what we needed to share with each other as a couple.
Both of us were so happy to have her marry us and celebrate with us. It certainly was a time to remember and to talk about for a long time to come.

Jody has a magical ability to have insight into not only the intentions and ceremony, but into the souls of the people she serves. Our times with Jody were intense in all the right ways, leading to a deeper commitment and understanding of the decisions being made and confirmed in the wedding ceremony. It was like being married by an angel with wisdom.
