Amazing Cermony

I cannot begin to express the gratitude I have for Jen. She made our cermony so special, personal and beautiful. She feels like a long time friend. Which is exactly what we were looking for. Someone we could trust, welcome and share our journey with. Thank you, Jen for the wonderful experience. I hope we find ourselves in need of a special cermony in the future.

Best officiant ever!

I honestly do not think we could have found a better officiant than Jen. If the ceremony is the most important part of the wedding for you (which it should be) then choose Jen as your officiant. Working with her was my favorite part of the wedding planning process. All the other parts of wedding planning can be very stressful but communicating with Jen reminded me of what was really important…. I was going to marry the love of my life! Jen sends a questionnaire of 34 questions so she can understand both of yall as a couple. The questionnaire she sent us seemed like a lot at first but we loved answering all the questions. It was a deep dive into our relationship. It helped Jen truly know us and helped her create a ceremony that represented us perfectly. The couple times we met with her were great! As someone with a little bit of anxiety (especially during all the wedding planning!!), I trusted her and I trusted her process.

After the ceremony, everyone was telling me how awesome Jen was. I think I heard more compliments about her than my dress LOL. And I totally understand why. Jen set such a great tone and really made everyone feel part of the ceremony. The ceremony was not your traditional religious ceremony but even the religious people loved it…even though it was non-religious, it was very respectable and drew everyone in. I had so many people tell me it was the best wedding ceremony they have ever witnessed.

I asked Jen for a copy of the words spoken at the ceremony and was expecting just the text in an email but no…it was a beautiful PDF document. It was so organized from the font she picked and a simple but beautiful mountain image. We plan to print it out and place it in a special binding!

Here are some shots of Jen during our ceremony in our wedding video (around 4:35 time mark): https://vimeo.com/736631928

Stop your officiant searching and contact Jen right now!!

Thank you Jen!

Jen was an incredible officiant for our wedding. We thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her the months prior. She also really took the time to get to know us as a couple and individually. She respected all of our wishes related to the ceremony while guiding and giving us tips based on her expertise. We couldn’t recommend her more! The actual ceremony and words were perfect. She really captured our vision. Thank you Jen!

Jen is amazing!

Jen is amazing to work with. She’ll listen to you and your relationship story, and values, to create a unique and authentic ceremony.

Jen officiated our wedding and the ceremony was without question our favorite part of the day. It was spectacular. Jen did a fantastic job preparing us for what to expect, leading us through the vow writing process, and then during the ceremony, grounding us in the moment. We felt prepared, excited, and surrounded by love and support.

Our guests all LOVED the ceremony as well. I was blown away by how many people shared how authentic, honest, and heartful the ceremony was. People kept asking how we knew Jen, thinking she was an old friend. When I shared we'd only known Jen a few months, our guests almost didn't believe it. Weeks later they’re still raving about the ceremony… and more importantly, my now husband and I continue to cherish it.

The power of our ceremony is a testament to Jen’s expertise and professionalism, and the process she’s developed to get to know couples and share their stories.

She’ll help you make what could easily be one of the most nerve racking parts of your wedding day - reading your vows - a celebration of love and commitment. She’s also totally flexible, so if you don’t want to write your own vows, no problem, she has plenty of written resources to choose from.

Is Jen the right officiant for you? Take a look at her website, and if it resonates, yes she is. Her ceremony will bring the meaning and significance of your relationship, and commitment to one another, to life, so that you can celebrate in a way that’s significant to you.

Jen is the best. I’d totally do a vow renewal in 10 years just to have her officiate another ceremony for us. I’m glad you found her.

Whatever You Do - Book Jen

Where do I even begin. Jen is absolutely amazing. I couldn't even imagine a better wedding ceremony for my husband and I. Jen infused our personality and our love story into the words so well that I felt like she has known us for years! Our guests could not stop asking us where we found her and how she created it. There was not a dry eye in the entire venue (including the photographers!)

Jen made sure to include us in every decision of the ceremony, including who we wanted to honor and the different traditions we wanted to infuse into it. She made us feel closer to our family and friends and created a beautiful place for us to say our I dos. Jen even helped us by giving us a list of I dos and guidance on writing our vows to make the process as stress less as possible.

I don't know what we would have done without Jen. Her words made our wedding the most special day. Whatever you do, book Jen for your wedding or any other ceremony. You will not be disappointed.

Spectacular personalized wedding ceremony

If you want a generalized wedding ceremony that any officiant can find on a Google site, Jen is not the person for you. If you want someone who will make you feel special, take the time to get to know you and your partner, and really go above and beyond for your big day, then Jen is exactly who you should get to officiate your wedding.

I cannot say enough beautiful words about Jen. We knew right away that we did not want a standard cookie-cutter wedding ceremony. Our wedding was special to us and we wanted a ceremony that would reflect that. We met with a few other officiants and no one had the same fit like Jen. She is so personable, charismatic, and an overall wonderful person. We spent just over an hour in our first meeting; most of which was spent just getting to know each other and talking as if we were old friends. She let us know that she was able to provide a bilingual ceremony which was our highest priority and that not only would she tailor the ceremony to us but that she was going to spend her time getting to know us before the wedding. She sent us very thorough questionnaires to help her understand our journey, we met in person so she could see our dynamic, and she checked in with us multiple times before the wedding which eased our minds completely.

The wedding ceremony was so special and monumental we cannot describe how beautifully Jen's words captivated our story, our journey, and the adventures still ahead.Because she took the time to get to truly know us, it felt as though a friend was officiating our wedding. On our one month anniversary she sent us a follow up check in to see how we were doing and to send us a digital copy of the ceremony so we can have it forever. Re-reading her words brought back all the emotions from our big day and filled us with so much joy. I am so happy that we chose Jen to officiate, I could not imagine anyone else marrying us!

Magical Wedding Ceremony

Jen is simply the best. She is a warm, bubbly, charismatic human who is such good company to have. When we were writing our vows, she helped us make them personalized and meaningful. EVERYONE complemented us on our ceremony, stating over and over again that it was “truly magical.” Jen made our ceremony special, individualized, fun, lighthearted, and loving. She brought the focus of the wedding world back to the wedding ceremony itself. She made the day truly memorable. Sure, the pictures and the food and the music were all amazing. But the ceremony that Jen helped us craft — that is what was truly meaningful and is what my husband and I will never forget. Jen is the most wonderful person, and she is everything you need for your wedding ceremony.

Perfect intimate mountain wedding

We knew Jen was the right person to officiate our wedding from the moment we met her. Down to earth, humble, kind and a great sense of humor. Jen allowed for us to have as much or as little support in creating our vows and having a voice in our ceremony as we wanted. Through ritual and spoken words, she created the most beautiful, intimate ceremony and space during our small, mountain wedding and we couldn’t be more grateful for her.

Bellissima!!!

We are super thankful we chose Jen to officiate our special day! She was listed as one of the recommended officiants by our venue, but we didn't want to choose just anyone. We really wanted to find someone that we felt a connection to and after reading about her, we felt this was definitely the right match.

We met with her on a video call to get to know each other and she gracefully worked in our story into the ceremony. She gave us lots of freedom to choose how to design our ceremony, and provided a wonderful guide to help us write our own vows.

The most amazing part was that she did an incredible job helping us do part of our ceremony in Italian. Her Italian was beautiful, semplicemente bellissima! We were so happy we could incorporate this special element into our wedding day. She has a unique way of bringing everyone together in the moment and making everyone in attendance feel like they are really part of the ceremony and a meaningful part of our commitment to each other too. So many of our guests said they loved how different and beautiful it was to feel that connection.

Jen was very caring and attentive to our needs, especially the day of! The simple, quick reminders to breathe, be present and hydrate were so very helpful on a very busy day.

Grazie mille per tutto! Thank you for everything!

She is who you want to have officiate this life event!!!

First things first - Jen is a wonderful person, extremely elegant and respectful officiant, and exactly who you want at your wedding. Hire her. Don't even hesitate, just do it.

We had really been struggling to find an officiant who would write an custom ceremony that was feminist, non-religious, but reverent. Jen came highly recommended by our photographer (also, fabulous) and I am so grateful I found her. The ceremony she wrote was *chef's kiss* perfect with lighthearted moments and beautiful reflections on life. She worked with us to create the ceremony and you could absolutely tell in almost everything she wrote. We also used her help and worksheet for writing vows. I think this made both my partner and I much more comfortable with what we wrote, and much less likely to procrastinate. I highly recommend this. Not only was her script beautiful, but her presentation of said script, and presence alone was perfect. I am so glad to have met her and had her be part of our wedding. She truly made the day as well as helped set the tone for our future.

Beautiful, heartfelt ceremony

Jen was amazing. She took the time to get to know us, assisted us with writing our own vows, and delivered a beautiful nondenominational ceremony on the fall equinox, inclusive of our three guests. We highly recommend her.

We are so glad Jen married us!

Jen is truly something else, and we are so glad that she was the person to marry us! After meeting with her, we both felt like she was the perfect fit as our officiant.

When the pandemic hit and we had to cancel, Jen was very flexible in however we wanted to proceed. We weren't sure for a while, and eventually decided we just wanted to elope.

We asked Jen if she could do it on such short notice, not really expecting her to say "yes"—but she did! She wrote up a shorter revised script, and gave us a really magical ceremony. We loved getting married, and our family really enjoyed watching the ceremony via our recording. She made it better than we could have expected.

Even more, I lost my dad a few months ago, and Jen was really supportive in all the upheaval. It really meant a lot to us. Thanks so much Jen!

Unique ritual-based handfasting was magic

We wanted more ritual than words. We didn’t have guests, our ceremony was just for us, and Jen made it perfect. We knew we wanted a handfasting rather than a traditional wedding. She knew exactly what to do.

A Perfect Elopement

I know, all these reviews start off the same way, declaring how amazing so and so is.. but honestly.. Jen is WONDERFUL! It was apparent from our first conversation with her that she was exactly who we wanted presiding over our ceremony, her warmth and excitement was palpable, even via a video chat (which is remarkable in and of itself).

We had known that we wanted to elope well before the moment arose, but we also wanted to make sure the experience we had would be deeply felt and that could act as something of a touchstone throughout our marriage. We wanted a personal ceremony that allowed us to connect in the moment while getting lost in each others eyes as we took the biggest step of our lives. Needless to say, Jen wove together a ceremony that did all that and so much more, incorporating a wonderful touch of earthy rituals that created a perfect the space for our ceremony. She easily fell into the nurturing role as we were getting ready, (it was an elopement after all, and so it was just us, Jen, and our photographer) even going so far as to help me get zipped up and buttoned into my dress.

Lastly, we knew we wanted to write our own vows but felt a little overwhelmed by the significance, but again, Jen was there with us every step of the way. She provided us with all the help and even a few writing resources to make them a reality. We couldn’t be happier with how they came out, and a significant portion of our success and happiness with them is a direct result of her help and guidance.

We’re such fans, that if she ever decides to hold weekly ceremonies celebrating the wisdom of nature, poets, and philosophers anywhere along the front range, you can be sure that you’ll find us front and center.

The perfect ceremony!

We were looking for a bilingual officiant to accommodate both families languages. Jen worked with us and created a beautiful ceremony which made everyone feel included. She was able to incorporate all the elements that we desired to be part of the ceremony, making our ceremony unique and special. We highly recommend hiring her for your ceremony. She is the best!!

Oh Jen, you made our day!

My Husband and I are proud to say that we have worked with Jen twice and were overjoyed each time. Jen officiated our elopement back in 2015 on a snowy February Day in Nederland. The words she spoke after only knowing us a short time speaks true to her craft. We knew that once we decided to renew our vows after 5 years, it would only be meaningful if Jen would officiate. She performed our vow renewal with the same beauty and kindness that we expected and made the day so meaningful for the both of us. I dont have enough great things to say about Jen. She has a talent for ceremony that is a wonder to bare witness to. She will craft a ceremony so intimate in style that you will truly feel like you and your someone are the only ones in attendance, until she gracefully makes the entire guest list feel included in your love. I cant wait to renew again!

Absolutely Amazing!!

WOW! Jen was THE BEST decision we made for our wedding. She personalized our ceremony to a T. I'm a goofy Irish Catholic girl, and my husband is a sarcastic science minded man, so putting something together for us definitely wasn't typical and/or easy. But, that didn't stop Jen, and what she put together for us was MAGICAL. She meshed our backgrounds, beliefs, and personalities seamlessly. Many of our guests kept saying, through the ceremony, they felt like they truly got to know us as a couple. And, even though our ceremony didn't take place in a church, and wasn't performed by a priest, my Catholics all definitely agreed, they felt the presence of God through the many tears of joy, loads of laughter, and absolute LOVE felt throughout our ceremony. My only regret, is that I didn't get a videographer to capture that beautiful moment.

The Best experience we could have asked for!

Jen is just incredible. We couldn't have been happier in our experience with her. Even meeting for the first time we felt completely comfortable with her...very good energy. She was very thorough in getting to know us as a couple and concise with what we wanted. We had a less traditional ceremony then maybe most would have and she nailed it, all if our guests loved it, and it was perfect. She really portrayed our love and who we are as a couple. It was truly a great experience working with Jen and we couldn't ask for more.

My husband and I used Jen for our wedding this past summer. We were blown away by the ceremony she created. It was so true to our story and everything we could have ever wanted. Our friends and family still talk about it and say it was the best ceremony they have ever witnessed. If you are looking for an officiant for your wedding, use Jen. She is the absolute best!!

Ceremony as the Best Part?

Jen completely delivered. We asked for her to do the impossible on the day of our wedding: perfectly run a bi-lingual ceremony for two really unique people at an incredible venue and somehow make the ceremony the best part of the day... and it happened!

I can't tell you how many of our guests chose the ceremony (not the far more expensive venue, food, etc) to highlight as the unbelievably great part of the day. If you're getting married, why not have the ceremony be your favorite part? Call Jen!

A perfect ceremony

Jen married my wife and I a few weeks ago in New York. We could not have been happier with the ceremony. The special thing about Jen is that she is able to create a ceremony that is personal and heart-felt, as if she has known you forever. She keeps it light-hearted but meaningul at the same time.
She makes sure to get to know you and your spouse, and your relationship story. In this way she personalizes your ceremony as if she were family, while being incredibly well spoken and captivating. Jen getting to know us, lead my wife and I to think about ourselves and our future. And that sort of relaxed reflection was meaningful to us leading up to our wedding. Jen had suggestions and advice for us in how to make our ceremony unique and personal to us. She had so many creative ideas that I had never heard of before, and each were meaningful and unique. But she also made clear that the priority was us, and what we wanted, and the type of ceremony we envisioned. Our ceremony was big- about 250 people. But she made it feel like it was a small intimate gathering. Our guests told us over and over again that the ceremony was the most heart-warming ceremony they had ever attended. We can't thank Jen enough.

We knew within 10 minutes of speaking with Jen that she was who we wanted to perform our wedding ceremony. She is an incredible writer and mesmerizing to listen to. We appreciate the in depth work she did to understand our intentions and how she held space for us on an otherwise wild ride of a day! Many of our wedding guests told us it was the best ceremony they had ever been a part of. We are thankful for Jen and the work that she does!

Made our wedding day

It's not a stretch at all to say that Jen made our wedding day. It was important to us to have a ceremony that was personal, meaningful and true to the couple that we are. Working with Jen, we got all of that and more. I had countless people say to me that our ceremony was the most personal, moving wedding ceremony they had ever seen. When I think back to the single most important decision we made about our wedding (aside from the decision to have it in the first place!), it was having Jen as our celebrant. She is incredible, and we are so grateful.

Phenomenal....Jen gave us everything we didn't even know we could hope for

Wow....Jen gave everything to our wedding, we truly felt like the most important clients she's ever had. By the time Jen arrived in the bride room on my wedding day to check in with me and hug me, she felt like an old friend...a friend who knew me to the core, and was there to walk me to the threshold of my new life with my best friend. Jen took the time to learn about and understand my new husband and I as individuals and as a couple. She gave us an extraordinary ceremony that reflected our story, our values and our sense of humor. Our guests were delighted with the ceremony and many of them approached me to ask how long we've known each other, and they were all genuinely surprised to hear that we just found her on Wedding Wire just searching for an Officient. Jen gave us a stunning, memorable, and extraordinarily personal and unique ceremony. We couldn't be more honored and feel genuinely lucky to have found Jen, she was the absolute perfect person to join us together in ceremony. Jen will continue to be in our hearts, and, hopefully, as a friend in the future. We are grateful to her for what she gave us for the most important moments of our wedding day.

Unique, Personal, Beautifully Written & Spoken Ceremony

I'm tearing up just thinking about the eloquent and poignant ceremony Jen created for our wedding day. Jen is an absolute joy to work with. Every sit down we had with her we left feeling more confident. We enjoyed her company so much that we went on for hours each time and left feeling rejuvenated by her positive spirit. From the moment we met Jen we knew she was the perfect person for our big day. She made us feel comfortable and at ease and we knew we needed that presence while we were up in front of everyone. Jen is a gracious and talented speaker and strung together beautiful quotes along with an amazingly thoughtful background of our relationship. She really helped our guests feel involved in the ceremony and connected to each other and us. We had a mixture of folks in the audience and were surprised to hear some of our more conservative guests blown away by the ceremony and willing to lean in to the ceremonial smudging that we had. She also managed to create something so lovely that even my stoic father shed some tears. Jen took the time to really get to know us over the course of the process and I love that she wove a lot of our own words into the ceremony. It made everything so personal and representative of us. Jen is so poetic and offered the perfect balance of romance and magic and honesty to our ceremony. We wouldn't change a thing and are so grateful that we met Jen. I give the highest recommendation possible to Jen, her process and her work.

Jen is wonderful!

Jen is absolutely wonderful!!! She was key to making our ceremony intimate and meaningful. Jen took a genuine interest in getting to know us and ensuring that the ceremony was exactly as we dreamed. I really appreciate the time and energy she took in guiding us through the planning process, and helping us select and draft our vows. Jen was also amazing during the ceremony when my toddler was having a meltdown. All of my guests raved about how wonderful Jen was and how special the ceremony was. I highly recommend Jen to any bride and groom, especially those who really want to personalize the ceremony. Our ceremony would not have been the same without her...and it was truly my favorite part of the day.

No words can describe how amazing our Wedding Ceremony was- Jen created one of the most amazing moments of my life.

Jen is incredible- she puts into words all the emotions and feelings that you may not even be able to describe yourself in the most beautiful way. She is fun, professional, and so welcoming. She balances all forms of faith and backgrounds to create a ceremony that touches all who take part.

If you’re seeking to have a meaningful ceremony, stop here.

Jen was amazing! Of all the vendors and everything we prepared for our wedding, everyone who offered any feedback commented first on how great the ceremony was. Jen asked us what kind of tone we wanted and how we wanted our guest to feel during the ceremony and delivered exactly that. She got to know us and our relationship very well and composed her words to reflect us. She totally superseded our expectations and set the tone for the rest of the night to make the joy of what we came to do carry on. Both my husband and HIGHLY recommend her if you’re goal is to have a meaningful ceremony.

An Artist of Her Craft

Jennifer was meant to do the glorious work of officiating weddings. From the moment we spoke on the phone, I knew she was "the one." Her passion and dedication to love and the personal and special features of the relationship I have with my (now) husband is seen at every interaction with her. She is positive, yet real and authentic. She is serious and professional, yet funny and light-hearted to keep a good balance and set the energy for your big day, before and during.

I can't tell you (bride/groom-to-be) how many people came up to as afterward and just sang her praises. Jennifer honored us and our family so well, and that means the world to us. I'm just in awe of how much warmth and love we were able to create between my husband, Jennifer, everyone involved, and myself. Jennifer made the very best day of our lives that much more magical and authentic. Her passion and dedication to the craft as well as us was just exactly what we needed to set the intentions of our marriage and life together.

Jennifer is a true gem, and I am honored to share our experience to continue spreading her gift and love around to others looking to do as exactly as she did for us and more.

Our wedding planner used Small Circles for her officiant!

Our wedding planner chose Jen to officiate her own wedding, so we were confident about working with Jen even before our first phone call with her. Of all the people you rely on to help the magic shine during a wedding ceremony, Jen was one of the top performers, from beginning to end! Through a thoughtful, customized, interactive process, she crafted a truly meaningful and fun ceremony that fit our needs. Several people came up to me after our ceremony to express their compliments. We highly recommend Jen.

We cannot thank Jen enough for such a wonderful ceremony. We chose to get married without anyone else in attendance all the way in Colorado (we are from Illinois). Finding someone who would be understanding of our non traditional take on our wedding ceremony, while being long distance was difficult but we knew as soon as we found Jen that we were in good hands. She incorporated everything we wanted in our ceremony and was awesome enough to take a short hike to our location. It was our absolute pleasure to have had Jen be the one person we shared this special day with. Still in awe of how magical that day was.

AMAZING! When asked what my favorite part about our wedding was, my answer is the ceremony. Jennifer wrote and created a beautiful, personal and unique ceremony; it was beyond our wildest dreams. Our parents and guests also can not stop raving about the ceremony. Jennifer is truly a master at what she does.

Our ceremony was so unique and it was very us; which was very important to us. It focused on our unique story and how we are choosing this journey together. Jennifer writes all her ceremonies from scratch and her writing is elegant and beautiful.

Jennifer takes a modern twist on some of the wedding traditions and these really spoke to us and aligned with our relationship and goals. For example, for our ceremony, Jennifer said "by the point of your words, we now pronounce you wife and husband." We liked the emphasis on our words and the use of the word "we" was very inclusive. It made perfect sense to us.

Jennifer was a great resource and was very helpful in the planning process. She helped us and reviewed our vows. Jennifer helped us with ideas for readings and rituals and ways to include our community. Jennifer suggested community vows; which were amazing!! The general idea is Jennifer asked our community if they will continue to support us in various ways, and they got the chance to say yes. She had them say things like, "We'll party with you," and "We've your back" instead of the boring "yes" or "we will." It was amazing and unique and so many of our people have continued to comment about how amazing it was.

We couldn't be happier with our ceremony and with Jennifer. Choosing to work with Jennifer was one of your best wedding planning decisions.

We had interviewed several officiants prior to meeting Jen. When we met Jen, we knew we had found the right officiant for us. Jen values the importance of ceremony as well as connecting with others. Jen took the time to get to know us, and to discover what made our relationship unique. She incorporated many personal details into our ceremony, making it uniquely ours. She was very responsive anytime we had questions, and she provided us with guidance and suggestions in regards to the ceremony process. Our ceremony was everything we had hoped it would be. Thank you, Jen, for making our day so incredibly special.

We can't thank Jen enough for crafting such an amazing ceremony that not only captured exactly what we had in mind, but that holistically encapsulated our love and primed us for our future together as a married couple.

Jen truly blew us away with her sincerest and most genuine intentions, and her ability to officiate in the most beautiful way possible. We can't imagine having worked with anyone else, and are forever grateful to her. She is truly one of a kind!

Our wedding was small & intimate & we had only two hopes for the day--1. That we would get married with the mountains of Colorado surrounding us & 2. That we would be surrounded by the people that loved us the most. We had never met Jen until the day of our wedding, but I can truly say it felt as though Jen had known us and supported our love from the very beginning. It just felt like she belonged there with us. She started the evening off with a huge comforting hug & a gentle smile, and wrapped up the ceremony in the very same way. Although she has done this for many beautiful couples, she made us feel that our love story was the most magical and special one to ever exist. She captured our story & embraced our personalities in the sweetest words & made our hearts feel so full. I can say without hesitation, Jen is the absolute best thing to happen to us throughout all of our wedding planning. Our ceremony was the most incredible moment and our family still gets teary eyed talking about it even months later. I cannot imagine a more perfect wedding day, and Jen is absolutely the reason that I can say that. We absolutely adore her and cannot stress enough how much you would too.

We cannot say enough great things about Jen, she put so much into our ceremony. It was perfect and unforgettable. I knew she was going to do a fantastic job after our first conversation, we felt an instant connection to her. We are so happy she did our ceremony for us and made it something so special!

Going into wedding planning, we weren't excited about the ceremony part of the night. Within ten minutes of meeting Jen, we were inspired by her enthusiasm and passion for ceremony. She showed us that it didn't have to be boring, but instead, it could be spiritual and meaningful in so many other ways. We knew she was going to make our ceremony something special, and she definitely delivered. It was hands down the best part of our wedding, and we had so many comments from our guests on how special it was. We owe all of that to Jen and the process and suggestions she offered on making the ceremony exactly what we wanted. What the ceremony ended up being will always be a gift and a special memory we have.

Jen was absolutely amazing. We could not have asked for a more perfect ceremony on our big day. She did such a beautiful job making the ceremony unique, moving, and truly perfect all around. We received so many compliments from our family and friends about the ceremony, some even saying it was the best ceremony they have ever been a part of! Jen was there for us every step of the way before our big day and truly took the time to get to know us in order to create the perfect and totally “us” ceremony. She has touched our lives forever and we feel so lucky to have found her.

What an incredible experience we had with Jen from start to finish. We witnessed her officiating a friend's wedding and could not be happier with how she curated our love story and how she delivered our ceremony for our intimate wedding on NYE. Meeting with Jen months prior to the wedding was always a joy - we really felt like she understood us and the tone we wanted to set for our important rite of passage. She was flexible throughout the duration and was inspiring! Guests from our wedding, to this day, are still talking about how unique and special our ceremony was - it left people with a newly appreciated view of their own love and what it means to become husband and wife (wife/wife - husband/husband). I could not recommend Jennifer more.

All I really need to say about Jen is that she is INCREDIBLE! She listened to our story, took the time to get to know our values and what we visioned for our wedding, and provided us with with amazing suggestions. After only a phone conversation with my husband and I, Jen came up with the most magical and meaningful wedding ceremony. She captured who we are perfectly with a personal ceremony that reflected our personalities to a tee. I never thought I would enjoy a wedding ceremony that much, it was more than either of us could have ever imagined! Our family members also said that it was the most beautiful wedding ceremony they had ever seen. Our ceremony was light-hearted (which was what we asked for), intimate, there was laughter and tears, and was 100 times better than I visioned in my mind. Without Jen, our day wouldn't have been nearly as special. Jen is just amazing!

Jenn was simply fantastic and absolutely perfect for the style of wedding we were wanting. We wanted a respectfully non-religious wedding ceremony and Jenn absolutely nailed it. All of our attendants absolutely raved about our ceremony, saying it was so unique, personal and emotion–exactly what we wanted. Jenn is somebody who truly cares about her clients. I could just tell she was personally invested in our relationship from the day we met to our wedding day and hereafter. She was accommodating, creative and genuinely a joy to work with. I would recommend her to anybody who is trying to focus on the ceremony aspect of their wedding and cares about making an impact on everybody witnessing such a monumental and beautiful event.

Jen was an amazing officiant, she created a beautiful ceremony for us that was personal and perfect. Our wedding day was wonderful, and we tell everyone it was because we chose Jen to officiate the ceremony and our awesome photographer. Jen took the time to get to know us and weaved our story into a beautiful ceremony that was filled with love and laughter. Jen is truly a wonderful person and we feel so lucky to have had her be a part of our day.

Working with Jennifer Garone in Boulder, Colorado was a truly joyful experience. Our wedding officiant met with us in person before the wedding to get to know us in person, learn about our spiritual background, hear personal stories we gave her freedom to use in the wedding ceremony, and determine all the particulars regarding the type of service and the "words" we requested her to use. We felt immediately connected with Jennifer's professionalism and her genuine interest in facilitating the most beautiful day of our lives. She also followed up with us after the meeting in timely fashion when we had additional questions or wanted to further discuss all the options available to us. At the ceremony itself, Jennifer helped everyone to feel comfortable in our sacred space and she performed the service flawlessly. We feel truly blessed to have found Jennifer who is now a true friend of ours for life. We would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a compassionate, caring, professional to make their wedding truly special.

There are no words to describe how amazing Jen is. My new husband and I were blown away by her depth of character and her ability to create magic with the words she chose and the energy and conviction with which she spoke them. She lovingly crafted a ceremony that perfectly fit my husband's and my spiritual beliefs and all of this with three weeks notice! She gave us thought provoking questions that helped us write our own vows and even found a beautiful ritual that included our entire community! We are so grateful for what she has done for us! Standing there before our friends and family and speaking our vows to each other wove a spell around all of us and is something we have taken into our journey of marriage. It feels like a strong fabric, tying us together with Jen's blessing and our intentions. She made our wedding. We are so deeply touched and honored that she was our officiant! She touches lives!

Jen truly has a gift when it comes to making ceremonies special. She spent time with us a couple months before the wedding day to make sure she understood our relationship and what we were looking for, and patiently answered any and all questions we had. Jen reviewed our vows ahead of time to make sure that we had a similar tone and vibe to them, and we worked together to create an amazing ceremony. It was sentimental, but she weaved in light moments, and came up with some wonderful ideas to include.

I've been recommending Jen to anyone and everyone, and couldn't imagine our ceremony with anyone else. Our guests loved her, too, and many told us it was the best ceremony they've ever attended!

Look no further. BOOK THIS WOMAN!!! :) I searched for our officiant via Wedding Wire. I scrolled through quite a few until Jennifer's reviews and her description of herself stopped me in my tracks. We got those same comments that guests assumed she was an old friend because she knew so much about us and we were so comfortable with her.

Jennifer did not just go through the motions. She customized our ceremony to be like nobody else's. It was joyful, fun, meaningful, and so us. She gave us great guidance, but was very flexible and thoughtful about ways to incorporate any ideas of our own.

One example of her suggestion is that we stood in a circle of flowers that guests placed as a sort of floral blessing. That was her idea. We loved it and it was just beautiful. I wish I could attach a photo here.

I miss talking with her now that our wedding is over!

We found Jennifer by searching around in the Boulder area for someone who could help make our special day even more special. Jennifer was very helpful with providing suggestions on ways to make our vows our own. And she did an amazing job of weaving the information we both provided her into the ceremony helping to make everything very personal and very special. She is marvelous!!

We found Jen on Wedding Wire and based on reviews alone, we already suspected we would love her. We are from Texas, getting married in Colorado, so we weren't sure how smooth the process would be or what the process even was. But even with being almost one thousand miles apart, she made it a stress-free experience. Through phone calls and emails we got to know each other and by the time our trip to Colorado came, we felt like we had known Jen for years. Her ceremony had us tearing up, laughing and reminding us to take in and remember the moment. What more can I say...the BEST.

Choosing Jen to be our officiant was the best decision we made throughout the wedding planning process.

We wanted an officiant who felt like a friend but, frankly, could hold a crowd's attention. We also wanted a secular ceremony that still had spirit. We had religious parents to try and please, so we were nervous about striking the balance.
Enter Jen Garone, part earth mother, part grounded professional who takes her work seriously. She truly cares, and gets to know you so it feels personal and intimate. Her warmth, sense of humor, and sense of purpose won me over from our first meeting.
Pre-ceremony, when I hyper-focused on a tiny thing that went wrong during my portraits, she kept me sane with some words of wisdom (that I won't divulge here because you have to hire her in order to get them!)
I lost count of how many of our wedding guests singled out the ceremony as one of their favorite moments. We kept hearing, "The food was great, the drinks were great, but the ceremony, oh my goodness!" And during my father's toast, he admitted his initial skepticism for a non-religious ceremony. But then, he also admitted that it was the most spiritual ceremony he had ever witnessed. This made Jen worth every damn penny.
This is going to be different. This is going to be custom. This is going to take her many hours to put together. She's going to string your words and stories and memories together into a tapestry that will move you and your guests and make you feel like you are doing something capital I Important.
My one regret is that I don't live closer so Jen can be my master of ceremonies for all of the major (hell, even minor!) events in my life going forward. Her passion for what she does for her people is truly a gift and we count ourselves so lucky to be a part of it.

Jen is amazing. She took the time to visit us and get to know both of us. She asked us about how we met and wove all this into the ceremony. Also she sent each of us private emails to ask what we love about each other. Imagine the pleasant surprise when I heard why my husband loves me; during this romantic ceremony!
Our wedding guests commented on how personal and meaningful Jen made the ceremony. Absolutely amazing.

Jen was absolutely amazing from start to finish. We find her online and chose her to officiate our elopement at RMNP because she offered more tailored ceremonies. We spoke on the phone as a kind of getting to know you/ discuss the ceremony and we connected with her immediately. She was warm, loving and kind throughout the experience. She reassured us that her only goal was to amplify our love during our ceremony (I loved that). We decided to write our own vows and she gave us plenty of example vows to work off of/ be inspired by. The actual ceremony took place a day after originally planned due to a freak snow storm and Jen was understanding and flexible when we had to change the location and time due to the weather. On the day of our ceremony Jen was there, smiling ands happy to see us. Along with our photographer we all ventured into the snow for the most magical ceremony. It was filed with love light and good energy. Jen truely helped to make our wedding day an absolute dream come true, if not better. I will carry my memory of our wedding ceremony in my heart forever, and I have Jen to thank for making it such a phenomenal experience!

Jen was the best officiant ever! She was amazing in so many ways. From the first time my wife Emily and I met with Jen in a coffee shop we knew she was the officiant for us! She spent a great deal of time getting to know us and made our first meeting a very enjoyable experience. She then requested us to complete a questionnaire in order to learn more about Emily & I as individuals, our story thus far together, and what specifics we would want Jen to focus on in our ceremony. We met with Jen in that same coffee shop again shortly before our wedding date to catch up, go through everything in our questionnaire, and make sure we were all just feeling good!

Emily & I believe it was this personal attention to detail and time Jen spent with us that made our wedding ceremony truly one-of-a-kind! Jen was so passionate, well-spoken, and full of smiles as she delivered our wedding ceremony. Emily & I were full of every positive emotion during the ceremony, and we wouldn't have wanted it any other way! Afterwards, I received nothing but glowing reviews from ALL of our family & friends in attendance. In a word, everyone said our wedding ceremony was truly "perfect".

Emily & I both want to thank Jen again and again for her beautiful ceremony, and plan on staying in touch with her as we continue our very happy lives together as husband & wife! THANK YOU JEN!!

Jen was fantastic! She got to know us early on and asked us questions about how we met, what we like about each other, how we each make the other feel, etc. This all helped her to better gauge how to approach officiating. She was very flexible when it came to messaging and traditions and was open to all religious and non-religious backgrounds. She was even open to the presence of cannabis being an available intoxicant at the reception and that's more difficult to find in an officiant than I thought it would be, living in a legalization state. In our wedding specifically, she was able to capture the theme of community and yet still keep the focus on us. She helped me get into the right headspace to make my vows perfect and the ceremony itself pulled its life from the questions she asked us early on and the conversations we'd had throughout the planning period. She really tried to get to know us as a couple and it made all the difference in the end. She far exceeded my hopes and her service was perfect.

Working with Jenn was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. It was important for us to really tell our story of what makes us unique as a couple and to really emphasize how much we love each other and all of our guests. We spoke and met with Jenn and we felt like we knew her for years. She is open minded, welcoming, and creative. We had a few ideas in mind and Jenn just helped us put everything together and she prepared the most beautiful ceremony. All of our guests thought she was a long time friend because we had already bonded so quickly and again she is so warm and welcoming. I highly urge people to consider using Jenn if you are looking for something intimate, unique, and truly yours. There was nothing generic about our ceremony and to us it was perfect! I also appreciate the time Jenn put in to get to know us. We met, filled out a questionnaire, and helped choose our readings and rituals - she genuinely made the ceremony specific to us.

Jen was an amazing officiant for our wedding! She got to really know us and personalized our ceremony. Jen listened to what we wanted and tailored the entire event specially to us, our relationship and what we were looking for out of the ceremony. Jen made the entire experience easy and comfortable. Our guests were amazed by Jen and kept asking if she had been a long time friend. We continue to get compliments on how great our ceremony was!

I found a lot of officiants on the internet, and talking to them I felt a huge disconnect. Most of them have you choose between sample A, B or C on already written ceremonies. I was feeling really let down, until I found Jen. We talked on the phone for over an hour about my love story and our lives. It felt like a million pounds had been lifted off my shoulder in a matter of minutes. I was right about her, only your closest friends and family truly know your true love story and for Jen to come in and give it the justice it deserves on your wedding day was amazing. I have been told several times that my ceremony was the best people had ever been to, all thanks to Jen.

Jen was nothing short of wonderful. Her energy and enthusiasm are completely contagious and her unique approach brought life, participation and unity into our wedding ceremony for both of us and all of our guests.
Through the simple act of taking some time to get to know us through questionnaires and personal meetings, Jen managed to tailor our ceremony so it became a one-of-a-kind event that was memorable to everyone that attended. Through her own experiences, Jen provided us with just the right amount of invaluable coaching and sharing of ideas to make our wedding day very special. Jen was a joy to work with and we would not hesitate to recommend her to any couple that wished to find an officiant that works so hard at making your most important day full of love and happiness.

Jen went above and beyond to make our ceremony special! She listened to our needs and wants and makes your vision come true. Our romantic, lighthearted,bilingual ceremony was magical and flowed beautifully. We received so many compliments from our Spanish and English speaking guests on how beautiful the ceremony was and how amazing Jen officiated. Thank you Jen!!!!

Jen is AMAZING! When my wife and I came to the conclusion that we had to look for an officiant online we were not thrilled. Then we came across Jen and after the first meeting with her we knew it was going to be an awesome fit.
Our ceremony was the most beautiful part of our wedding. We had numerous people ask who our officiant was, how we knew her and they were shocked when we told them we found her online. She told our love story perfect and really encompassed everything we wanted for our big day.

I want to start off by saying that Jennifer was Incredible! She really helped make the ceremony memorable for my husband and I and all of our guest. She helped to tell our story in a intimate, soulful, and magical way. From our first meeting I knew she fully understood our vision. It was a wonderful process getting to know Jennifer and tell her our life's story. She helped us re-visit the moments from the past that lead us to who we are now as husband and wife, which I found to be a essential process when you are about to get married. We are so happy we chose Jennifer as our officiator.

Jen was amazing and all that we could have asked for in an officiant. She guided us through all the step to help us craft a very personalized and incredible ceremony. We had so many compliments about how unique and special our ceremony was from our guests. If you choose Jen, you will not be disappointed.

The entire process Jen created with Small Circles Ceremonies was fun, engaging, and made us really think about love and commitment for each other and what it mean to us individually (even after being together for 12 years). Jen met and talked with us as much as we wanted and showed us dedication. Jen pushed us to connect with our words, but never pushed us outside our comfort zone. For our vows, she provided us examples and talked through the process (many times) to ease any fears or nerves. We felt she was always open and honest and really worked to create a unique, thoughtful ceremony that was so specific to us and our life together, that at some points we felt we had a narrator for our lives. Throughout the ceremony she made us feel engaged and more in that moment with our family and friends that even us, the bride and groom, can remember the words and the feelings throughout the ceremony. And better yet, we got more compliments about the officiant and ceremony and how special it was than the bride's dress or the specialty desserts or anything else. Jen and all her services provided by Small Circles Ceremonies created a truly one-of-a-kind moment that we and every person at our wedding will never forget. So book her now! And you won't regret the decision!

Our family and friends were impressed with the ceremony. Many thought Jennifer had been part of our lives for some time. She captured our journey and history like no one else has. She was able to catch the most important parts of our life together. Fantastic job in describing how we felt the first time we got married. I have no words to describe the emotion we felt to hear our journey. Luis held his tears during a few parts of the ceremony (loved it). We knew how important it was for us to go through the ceremony ritual for our family and ourselves however, I never envisioned the impact it would have on our sense of safety. We are in such a calm and loving place. We have several things to worry about in our daily lives however, after the ceremony we have been on team mode.

I would not have chosen anyone else to work on our ceremony, it turned out wonderful!!!!!!!!

Jen at Small Circles Ceremonies was perfect for our small circle ceremony - truly a circle of 18 of our closest family and friends gathered around us in our living room. (Big party celebration came later.) Originally we thought we would officiate ourselves. Quickly we realized that was going to result in a 'too simple' ceremony. We wanted it light, yet still meaningful and memorable. We contacted a few officiants and Jen reflected back what we hoped for plus added yet another great sense of humor to the planning process. It was fun and comfortable working with Jen. She brought forth many ideas for us to consider and made it easy to share, nix and change ideas. Then she took the bits and pieces and created a very personalized and touching ceremony. Ceremony guests offered many compliments to how special the ceremony was and we (bride and groom) agreed. Again, Jen made it perfect for us!

Working with Jen leading up to our ceremony helped us focus in on the meaning and purpose of our wedding, instead of all of the crazy planning that needed to happen to pull off the event. We loved creating our ceremony with her! Jen was responsive and helpful as we wrote our vows. She was flexible and helped us to craft a very special part of our ceremony that involved our community. We valued getting to know Jen and having her get to know us through the process of planning the ceremony. And, when it came time for the big day it felt like we were with a long time friend! Our ceremony was special, unique, and so very, very memorable -- I recommend Jen to anyone and everyone!

Let's face it-your ceremony is the most important part of your big day. Jen made the entire experience unforgettable. We planned the ceremony through email and over the phone, as ours was a destination wedding. Jen spent time getting to know us, our relationship, our values, and our plans for the future and reflected perfectly who we are on that day, even though it was only days after meeting her for the first time in person.

Together, my husband and I agree hands down: Jen absolutely made our wedding perfect. I remember walking down the aisle overlooking a beautiful mountain view, and before starting the ceremony she reminded us both to take a deep breath and be present.

After initially contacting her, Jen spent time with us on the phone, sharing her values and the meaning of ceremony to her personally. Her philosophy is beautiful, and resonated with us from the very beginning. I would recommend her, hands down, a million times over. I know I'm gushing, but Jen helped us start our lives together and will certainly continue to play a role as our friend.

During the months of planning before our big day my husband and I searched the internet for the right person to Officiant our wedding ceremony. We were essentially looking for someone who could write a unique ceremony tailored to us as individuals and also reflect our commitment and love for each other. While searching, we stumbled upon Small Circles Ceremonies and Ms. Jennifer Garone. As we read through her introduction and browsed her website, it became very clear to us that we wanted to make contact and ask about the process. Jen’s response was timely, kind, informative, and inviting. She requested that we meet, get to know each other, and have conversations about our vision and wishes. As planning a wedding goes, things can get very hectic and stressful- Jen was patient with us and always offered support and direction. She dreamt up neat and different ideas on how to involve our guests and children into our ceremony. She gave us options and so much more. My husband and I live in Wyoming and Jen, of course, lives in the Boulder Colorado area so 95% of our communication was over e-mail and phone calls, which worked surprising well. Once the big day came, Jen felt like a friend and part of our inner-circle. Our ceremony turned out absolutely beautiful and perfectly written for us. After our ceremony
commenced and even now our guests (including our families) can’t say enough about Jen. Thank you Jen! For supporting us through this process from beginning to end!! You are truly a gem!

Jen was the kind, thoughtful, and eloquent leader of our wedding ceremony this summer. Her beautiful writing was heartfelt and meaningful, and she was a joy to work with. Although we had just met her a few months before our wedding, many guests asked us how many years we had been friends with our officiant. She took the time to know us well, and created a sacred space for our unique ceremony that truly reflected our values and our love.

Jen is a wonderful person that truly took the time to listen to our story and thoroughly immerse herself into our relationship, our individual selves, and our wedding vision. She took on the complex task of helping us craft a bilingual ceremony in English and Spanish, and she spoke beautifully between the two languages! Jen has such a calming, confident nature about her. She was very helpful in guiding us through any wedding anxiety or stress, especially on the day of the wedding. Jen took the time to come early and check in with both of us separately before the ceremony to make sure we were not getting too overwhelmed, and to help remind us of the true meaning of the day. Jen obviously takes her role seriously and is dedicated to the sacred nature of a ceremony, but is also relaxed and able to have fun with it. She took the time to introduce herself to our families on the day of the rehearsal and seems to value the personal connections she makes. My experience working with Jen was very fulfilling and I felt like she did a wonderful job of understanding our ideas, as well as providing suggestions and guidance for things we were unsure of. It all came together beautifully and I would recommend her to anyone!

We won't forget our wedding day!
Jen brought so much love and perfect details in the ceremony, we couldn't imagine any better officiant for us!

We are a couple from Austria and did our elope wedding during our holidays in Denver. We talked at Vienna with Jen over Skype and by email to plan everything before.
Our wedding took place at the Cheesman Park in Denver - just Jen, our witness, a photographer and us. She wrote an incredible wedding speech and she was excellently prepared! It looked like, she did plenty of research and set the preparations right to her actions. She is such a nice person and could route us through warm and gently through the ceremony.

Our wedding was a great adventure and we are so thankfull to Jen! We had a great officiant and are very happy to share this moment with her.

Our wedding was wonderful! I had 1 month to plan since we decided we wanted to do our wedding on the special day of the Spring Equinox. I was looking specifically for an officiant that could embrace the love and meaning of the seasons that we have. It could not have been more meaningful or beautiful. I would recommend Jen with Small Circles for anyone who wants to add that extra special meaning to their ceremony. We laughed, we cried, we embraced our ancestors, and we honored the seasons. It included everything we could have asked for.

Jen was amazing. She took such care in building our ceremony. Each word will stay with us forever. Even after only knowing her for a short time, we felt like it was our friend up there speaking to us. Small Circle Ceremonies was attentive and thorough with every aspect of our ceremony. I would highly recommend them for any event.

Jen is absolutely amazing at providing ceremony for any occasion. For my wedding she led the wedding party in a beautiful ceremony honoring the directions, the elements, our marriage, and spoke eloquently to the wonder and sacredness that marriage holds. Both her presence and willingness to work with us to get the ceremony exactly like we wanted, was invaluable to the ceremony and the day. Later, when people commented on the wedding ceremony, it was most often to tell us how gorgeous this part of it was. Thanks Jen!!!

If you are having a non-traditional wedding, or any wedding for that matter, Jen should be your choice. It was so hard to find an officiant for our wedding that wouldn't be too religious or too secular and not be holy or sacred. Jen was able to find this beautiful in-between place to make our ceremony incredibly sacred without being religious. Being a gay couple, most people we spoke to didn't get that we still wanted something holy and sacred. Jen totally understood and gave us such a beautiful ceremony. We had guests commenting afterwards that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. I would highly recommend Jen for anyone getting married. -S&P, 10.11.14

Wow, is the first thing I would like to say. Jen really nailed our ceremony. We wanted something in between both of our worlds which mixed somewhere between the spiritual and religious ends. We wanted our worlds to mold to show our loved ones what we have done to be standing there that day. We wanted a hint of scripture to bring my husband to his spiritual place along with a hint of a wild sprititual writings to bring myself to this same place. She melded these worlds beautifully as if there was not a single distance between them, truly enveloping who were are as a couple. She wrote a story about us and really gave light to the 'why' we wanted this ceremony to bring us together. I have never seen a ceremony as beautifully done as ours and this is because of Jen.
If you are looking for an Officiant who puts her heart and soul into what she does, this is her. We could not have been more pleased - awe-struck, really is the word, at how amazing our ceremony turned out.

Jen helped my husband and I prepare for our big day! She is so resourceful in giving ideas and making sure that your ceremony is the way you want it! We loved the way she incorporated her Spanish into our ceremony! Our experience was amazing!
