Jen Exceeded our Expectations
We called Jen last minute when we decided to elope to Bozeman, Montana. She helped make our wedding truly unforgettable by handling every detail from flowers, restaurant suggestions, marriage license, photographer as well as our spectacular ceremony site. Thanks Jen, you nailed it! -

The best decision we made!
We cannot say enough good things about Jen! From start to finish, she was incredibly responsive and kept in close touch every step of the way. From day one, you can truly tell that she genuinely cares about the couples she works with.
Her process included a questionnaire that helped her really get to know us, and the speech she wrote based on our answers was absolute perfection. It felt so personal and completely captured who we are as a couple.
One of the most meaningful moments of our ceremony was her including our dog who had recently passed away. We follow each other on social media, and upon finding out about our loss, she reached out to send her condolences. Little did we know that she would bring an extra level of care and thoughtfulness by weaving a beautiful tribute to her into our ceremony speech without us even asking. It meant the world to us.
On our wedding day, Jen was such a calming presence while I was rushing to get ready. She offered to help with everything we needed. She even helped me into my dress! Between her sweet, down-to-earth personality and the thoughtful handwritten card she gave us, she went above and beyond in every possible way. Choosing Jen was hands down the absolute best decision we made for our elopement! -

Best Experience Ever
Jen is absolutely phenomenal! We booked her about 6 months before our elopement and she was in constant communication the whole time. Jen made us feel so at ease leading up to our big day and I was not at all stressed about how things were going to go! Apart from professional, Jen is the most down to earth human being! Her attention to detail and caring touch on everything from start to finish was beyond appreciated. My husband and I were blown away by how intimate and sentimental our ceremony was. We will talk about this for the rest of our lives. Jen, we can’t thank you enough!! We will highly recommend her to any and everyone looking to get married! -

Jen is so amazing in every way!!
Where do I even begin with Jen! We feel so incredibly blessed to have found her for our wedding and are so happy we chose her to be our officiant. Jen poured her heart and soul into our ceremony script and gave the most perfect depiction of our love story. You can truly tell how much she loves what she does, and we can’t thank her enough for making our ceremony so special.
So many of our guests complimented her after the ceremony, and some even thought she knew us personally because of how beautifully and genuinely she told our story! You truly cannot go wrong with Jen as your wedding officiant. We would choose her time and time again, and we feel so lucky to have found a new friend in her along the way. Thank you for everything, Jen!! -

A Perfect Day
Jen was truly the perfect officiant for our elopement. Because our ceremony was so small and intimate, and coming from VA, having someone who made us feel comfortable and understood us was incredibly important. From the beginning, Jen was warm, professional, helpful, and genuinely invested in making our day special. The ceremony she created for us was personal and meaningful, and she went far beyond simply being our officiant. She helped with pictures, supported my bride throughout the day, and brought such a calm and positive presence to the entire experience. We are so grateful Jen was there with us and honestly couldn’t imagine our day without her. If you’re looking for an officiant who genuinely cares about the couple and will make your ceremony feel like yours, choose Jen. And when the time comes for us to renew our vows, we already know who we’ll be calling! -

You need Jen!!
We loved Jen! She was so sweet and kind to us during a really tense moment right before the wedding. We forgot the marriage license on the way to the ceremony, and once we got there 45min late, Jen pulled us aside and gave us a moment to breathe and relax. She told us it was our day, and made it feel as such. She had a beautifully written script for ceremony and even had it printed off for us as a keepsake. She made the moment ours and personalized every detail for our small wedding. Again, huge thank you for everything you did and do!! -

So Grateful for Jen
We cannot recommend Jen highly enough! From the very beginning, Jen made the process feel effortless. She somehow managed to capture our entire story so beautifully and authentically. The ceremony she created felt incredibly personal, heartfelt, and uniquely us. On our wedding day in Big Sky, Montana, she delivered a ceremony that exceeded every expectation. There was not a single dry eye among our family and friends. In fact, every guest came up to us afterward to ask where we found her and to tell us how amazing the ceremony was. It was one of the most common comments we heard all weekend.
If you're looking for an officiant who will create a deeply personal, meaningful, and unforgettable ceremony, we wholeheartedly recommend Jen and Vow & Venture. Her ability to tell your story with such warmth, authenticity, and emotion is truly a gift. We are so grateful she was part of our wedding day. -

Like a friend I’ve known forever ✨
Jen was truly one of the greatest blessings of our wedding day. 🤍 From the very first message I sent, hoping and praying she could help us, she immediately made everything feel calm, personal, and meaningful.
She was so thoughtful and intentional about making our ceremony about us—our story, our love, and the beginning of our marriage. Her attention to detail was next level, and the way she took time with our kids made the day even more special. She somehow brought a sense of calm to all the little details and made us feel completely cared for.
If you’re looking for someone who will create a ceremony that feels genuine, personal, and full of meaning, look no further. We are so grateful for Jen and the lasting memories she helped create for us.
If you want lasting memories with the sweetest woman in Montana, look her up! 🤍✨

Planning an Elopement in a week?!
Jen was our officiant for our elopement in Missoula. My husband and I decided to elope with a week to plan and make arrangements. I started researching officiants and when the first one fell through, I resorted to looking at an elopement Facebook page and came across Jen. From the moment I reached out to her she was responding immediately, despite being on vacation in Italy! Jen asked questions about my vision (which was pretty much non-existent at that point), vendors, etc. She had a list of recommendations ready when I needed them. Jen sent my husband and I a questionnaire to custom write the ceremony and it turned out perfectly. I couldn’t have dreamed of a better scenario for our ceremony; I was in tears before she made it through the first two sentences. From the second Jen walked through the door, she had a calming presence and ran the show, checking in with me while I was getting ready to make sure things were running smoothly and how I wanted them. We could not have pulled off this last-minute elopement without the help and expertise of Jen. You could tell she genuinely loves what she takes and takes pride in her work. I cannot say enough great things about Jen! If you are considering her as your wedding officiant, I promise you will not be disappointed. She definitely exceeds expectations in my book! Thank you Jen for making our special day perfect in every way! -

Amazing!!!!
Just wow… When my wife and I were first looking for an officiant, we were just expecting a warm body to say a few words and do what was legally necessary for us to be married. We honestly were more focused on who the photographer would be and thought that was the more important investment. Well… we were absolutely incorrect.
From the start, Jen was an absolute superstar and showed us the value and impact an officiant can bring not only on our wedding day, but the months and weeks leading up to the big day.
To be transparent I tried negotiating the price on our first call because the “internet” told me officiants are not that expensive. And boy did I feel like an idiot for haggling her after experiencing the wedding ceremony because Jen absolutely blew us away with her service and efforts throughout the process. In fact, I gave her a tip after the ceremony because we were so impressed.
If you are looking for someone who will take the time to truly learn what makes your relationship with your partner special and bring that story to life in your ceremony, Jen is the your girl!
No spoilers here, just be ready for lots of tears and special memories you will remember forever ❤️ -

The best of the best
Jen is the best person for the the most important day of your life. I will forever recommend her to anyone and everyone. She is so professional, helpful, very attentive, and the sweetest gal ever. I love our book she had for us. We live in Bozeman and wanted to get married at Glacier, Jen was immediately up for it. She will 100% travel for you. Jen, thank you again. We couldn't have done it without you.
Love,
The Lelevier's-

The Perfect Officiant
We feel so grateful to have found Jennifer—she was absolutely the perfect officiant! From the start, she met with us, asked thoughtful questions, and created a ceremony that felt beautiful, personal, and completely “us.” On our wedding day, she wasn’t just the officiant—she truly became part of our story.
Our guests were blown away by the heartfelt details she included, and so many told us how meaningful the ceremony felt. Jennifer has an incredible way of bringing both calm and joy, which made the whole experience unforgettable.
If you’re getting married in the Bozeman area, don’t think twice—book Jennifer. She will go above and beyond to make your day truly special. Thank you, Jen, for everything! -

Last minute Elopement!!
I could not have been more impressed! To start, I only gave her about 3 days notice 😅 but she pulled together such a cohesive and beautiful ceremony for my husband and I. The day of, she was so helpful getting us to our elopement spot and even helped wrangle our kids so we could have a moment together and to get pictures. Just beyond helpful! And we hadn’t considered the courthouse being closed until after we were already heading back home so she helped us file our license and shipped it straight to us!
So thankful for Jen and all of her help, our day turned out perfect for us due to lots of help from her! -

Simply the best
Jen was our officiant when we eloped. We traveled from Tennessee to Montana. From the very beginning of connecting with Jen, she made us feel special and appreciated. She provided a helpful timeline to help us keep track of things up until elopement day. She recommended our photographer, where to eat, sights to see, a florist, and everything in between. She held our hands through every step of the process and her kindness was extremely welcomed. On elopement day, Jen helped me with my dress and accessories, she had an amazing playlist, and led us through the ceremony flawlessly. Jen felt like family out there and I had never met her until elopement day. We are forever grateful for who she is and the passion she shared with us. Thank you Jen, Dean and Katie Kosobud ♥️-

the best of the best
Whew! Here we go, going to try not to get emotional myself while writing this review.
Jen was the missing piece to our elopement puzzle. My now husband and I decided to elope in Grand Teton NP just the two of us. An officiant was the last thing we needed in our planning process. For weeks, we couldn’t get an answer from anyone. One night, getting close to our elopement date, my friend posted in a FB group. Jen answered and thank gosh she did. We reached out to her via email and 5 mins later she responded with something like “yes I will officiate your wedding and yes I will travel”. From that moment forward we were in constant communication. She would reach out to me to check in/ help with planning and when I had a question, she would respond within two minutes. Her process of crafting a ceremony begins with a questionnaire that is sent to the bride and groom separately (pro tip: after the wedding we read each other's responses to those questions ((sob!)) ). Then she asked us what, if anything, we would like included. We chose the civil ceremony but she will craft to whatever you would like. Over the next few weeks before the wedding my husband and I became good friends with Jen. Fast forward to our wedding day, the moment we saw Jen it felt like our bestie had arrived to be there with us on our wedding day. She embraced us with big hugs. We were obviously nervous but as soon as Jen got there we felt at ease. The evening started with Jen cheering us on as we got our photos. Then it was time for the ceremony. She found the perfect spot. Had a playlist going to set the mood. Had tissues ready. Organized everything. Made quick friends with our photographer. Even brought things to add to our flat lays! As the sun was setting, Jen delivered the most beautifully crafted ceremony. It told our story. It made us giggle. It made us reflect. It made us cry. It made us take a deep breath. All before “I do”. Jen brought our story to life, her words flowed through us, and we listened to every single one she said. It was the best ceremony I had ever heard and it was ours. It was the best because it was unique, not formal (as requested by us), and smart writing. We get to keep the ceremony, because it was handwritten by Jen in a personalized ceremony book. How cool is that! We all stuck around a celebrated for a bit before parting ways. Later, she provided us with honeymoon recommendations for the rest of the week!!! SO, if you are reading this review, I hope what you get out of it is that you absolutely can not do your wedding day without Jen as your officiant. Jen is incredibly talented at writing ceremony scripts. She is must for your wedding day 🤍

She crushed it, TWICE!
I've had the absolute pleasure of working with Jen twice now—she officiated my daughter’s wedding last year and my best friend’s wedding this year—and both experiences were wonderful! She is incredibly sweet, thoughtful, and attentive to every detail. Her ceremony scripts are beautifully written and truly personalized, capturing the unique love story of each couple.
She also coordinated my daughter’s rehearsal the day before the wedding with exceptional organization and grace. Her instructions were clear and professional, while still allowing everyone to relax and enjoy the moment. It’s clear she genuinely cares about her couples and goes above and beyond to make their day special. Highly recommend! -
