100% recomendable Muy felices de tener a la señorita Jenifer como la celebrante de la unión de mis padres. La Srta. Jenifer respondió a todas nuestras preguntas y curiosidades, el vídeo llamada que tuvieron mis padres fue de muy agradable y les ayudo a calmar un poco sus nerviosismo. Estuvo todo el tiempo pendiente y llego a la ceremonia con tiempo nos ayudó mucho con si presencia para poder empezar la ceremonia a tiempo como lo acordado. Les recomiendo si están en busca de una celebrante no solo en Español y en Inglés también ya que la ceremonia que llevó a cabo en fue bilingüe. Muchas gracias por todo.
Our wedding celebrant was incredible, striking the perfect balance of professionalism and warmth. They made our ceremony feel special and effortless, allowing us to fully enjoy our day without any worries.
We had such a great experience with Jennifer she made this moment so especial for us! Gracias !!
We had the honor of have Jennifer perform our ceremony in Florida, she created a ceremony that was unique to us and it made our day even more special. Thank you so much Ken & Tracey.
Out of the huge list of wedding officiants that we received, I am very happy and glad to say, that I choosing Jennifer to perform our very special, very memorable wedding ceremony was unforgettable. From the moment we spoke on the phone, broke down the process, and really covered everything from beginning to end was nothing short of spectacular!!! Jennifer was quick in her communication responses when we needed it, and also the timeliness was right on par with both my wife and I needed. Words can't describe how grateful we are that she made our very special day even more significant through her very caring, sincere, respectful, professional, and loving demeanor. I would very highly recommend Jennifer as your next Wedding Officiant as this is one of the most important decisions of your life, why not have perhaps one of the best in the area!!!! Thank you very much Jennifer for everything!!! We greatly appreciate it!!!
I highly recommend Jennifer I do. My husband and I were looking for a bilingual officiant who could meld our two cultures and create a beautiful ceremony. Jennifer I do did just that! She created an elegant and personalized ceremony by asking us about our love story and weaving it into the narrative. She incorporated the sand ceremony we wanted and used it to include my daughters so that they felt part of it. It was an amazing experience and gave us everything we wanted.
The words that Jennifer spoke during our wedding ceremony are still echoing in my head even though our wedding was 3 months ago as of today. She really made our ceremony special and personalized it to us, especially by incorporating in some Spanish so that my husband's family was able to follow along. She asked us individually what we mean to each other and spoke those words during our ceremony, I thought this was a very nice touch as it made me cry and laugh at the same time. Jennifer also had a video meeting with us about a week before our wedding day to help explain the process and answer any questions we had which really helped to put me at ease about how the day was going to go. We really appreciated the effort she put into our ceremony and making a beautiful day better with her beautiful words.
Jennifer has such a heart for what she does. She will make sure everything goes well in a professional manner. She is detail oriented and makes a personalized experience for your ceremony. Jennifer gives wonderful suggestions and advice, and was extremely accommodating for our special day. You will not be disappointed with Jennifer, I do!
I can not say enough about Jennifer I do!! Our video meeting was so awesome and personal and made us think of our first interaction as people that led us to being a couple. Our ceremony incorporated personal questions that she asked us, that we didn't know what each person said. Not only was the ceremony personal and intimate, she made it very comfortable for us (because we were extremely nervous). I would recommend Jennifer for any ceremony.
Jennifer is definitely someone you want for your special day. Not only did we call her within a few days of our special day she made sure to go above and beyond to make this day special for us. She is so patient and kind overall, could not have picked a better officiant. Thank you Jennifer for putting so much thought into what you do.
Jennifer was absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend her. We did a quick I Do and she still was able to make it feel special. She was quick responding and made sure we understood everything we would need to know. I really can't express how much of a delight she was to interact with. 10/10.
10/10 experience working with Jennifer! Would highly recommend. Jennifer is very kind, accommodating and a great addition to your wedding team. You could feel the joy and emotion through the delivery of the beautiful ceremony she led.
My wife and I would like to thank Jennifer for her services as a quick-sign marriage officiant for our wedding this past month. She was gracious, informative, and a total professional from the first conversation we had with her all the way through the end of our wedding ceremony. She took the time to coordinate with our wedding planner and ceremony officiant to ensure all the procedural elements of officializing/legalizing the wedding was in order prior to wedding day. She had everything ready for us to sign and make official the marriage documentation once the ceremony was over. She was more than happy to play a role in our vision of the post-ceremony and took pictures with us at the "signing event" we created. We thank her for supporting us in our special day, ensuring all the license preparation and submission was in order, and allowing us to make her role into the official script of the day. Thank you again, Jennifer! We knew we were in good hands with your professionalism and warming personality.
Jennifer was wonderful!!! The entire process leading up to our wedding was delightful and she's great to work with! Jennifer's words were beautiful, thoughtful, and brought such a loving warmth to our ceremony. My wife and I highly recommend Jennifer for your wedding!!!
Jennifer is an amazing wedding officiant. She is considerate and genuinely helpful. My wife and I were very happy she took the time to talk us through everything and answered all our questions. She answers quickly and professionally and just amazing experience. She officiated our ceremony and gave us a wonderful bilingual ceremony. She was very friendly to both our families and enhanced the whole experience of the ceremony. We definitely recommend her!
Jennifer did a great job officiating our handfasting ceremony. We appreciated the time she spent learning our story and asking about our preferences to make our ceremony personal to us!
Olivia did amazing! We wanted a bilingual ceremony and she did it perfectly! She was super organized, asked great questions to make our ceremony personal (we had no clue where to start with that), and was super nice. She was organized and on top of things. And she mailed in our marriage certificate for us, so we did no have to worry. Highly recommend her!
Jennifer responded promptly and professionally to our request to be our civil marriage officiant. Our approach was strictly legal, as we had just been wed in a religious ceremony. The entire process proceeded and concluded smoothly, and despite the legal context she still made the quick ceremony feel special; we felt that extra effort. Thank you!
Jennifer is awesome! We found her through the web and was extremely responsive, we got an almost immediate response; she walked us through everything we needed to do and know to get us ready for our wedding. We really enjoyed that she took the time to get to know us and you could tell from how beautiful the ceremony was !! Everyone was so touched by the ceremony and how personal and intimate it felt!! Jennifer was definitely the right choice and would recommend her a thousand percent
Jennifer was over and beyond our expectations for our wedding, treated us so lovely, calmly, and 💂♂️ us through the process from the beginning to end, offered us her yard for the event(venue/altar), also provided tips and rehearsals. The family members and friends participated appreciated the services provided. We are so grateful you were part of our big day, and we wish you many more weddings to officiate Thank you Sophia & Joshua ♡
As a wedding coordinator, Jennifer is an exceptional officiant! Every time we have worked with her (many times now), she delivers a professional and heart-felt performance at every ceremony. We can tell that she is truly invested in her couples, and always happy to share their unique love stories with their guests. Thank you Jennifer for being so great to work with! - Carla and Mike
Highly recommend Jennifer as a Marriage celebrant! My husband and I recently had her as our officiant for a wedding at Great Falls Park. We tried so many different officiants and none were willing to go anywhere but their own office. Jennifer performed our wedding in Spanish so all our family could understand. Additionally, she was flexible with us (even on less than one weeks notice). On the date of the ceremony, she arrived very early to ensure everything was in order and calmed our nerves as we got down to the last moments. The ceremony itself was catered to our specific wants (religious/ not, Vows/No vows, Ritual/ No ritual). We tailored it to exactly what we wanted and that's what we got. Our family complemented Jennifer's ceremony and loved the whole event.
Very professional and cordial. Thank you Jennifer for making our special day the best day!
Jennifer was wonderful from the very first conversation we had over the phone, very professional and kind She was great officiating our wedding especially on those overwhelming moments. We would highly recommend her service !
Jennifer was so kind and helpful in getting our quick ceremony done and walking us through everything step by step. Thank you again!
Jennifer did an incredible job with our wedding ceremony. She was very helpful answering questions prior to the ceremony and made us feel really comfortable in customizing the ceremony to fit our vision. She gave the ceremony a special touch by asking us to answer questions about each other which made the ceremony even more special. Our ceremony was a bilingual ceremony and she found the perfect balance between English and Spanish for our guests. My husband and I also have different religious beliefs and she made sure we both felt represented. We couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful ceremony than the one Jennifer helped facilitate. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.
Jennifer was a huge help at our civil ceremony! We were a bit lost with the planning, but she stepped in and made everything run smoothly. Her attention to detail was impressive, and I'm so thankful we found her from the officiant list. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone getting married in the area. Thanks a lot Jennifer! -John & Brittney
We're so glad our venue recommended Jennifer to officiate our wedding last weekend! She took the time to get to know us before the big day and created the most wonderful, personalized ceremony just for us. We decided that writing & reciting our own vows would be too much extra pressure ahead of the wedding. Instead, Jennifer asked each of us questions privately and shared our answers as part of the ceremony - it was perfect! Her ceremony was so perfect that both of our moms asked for a copy of the script 🙂
Working with Jennifer was such a breeze! She created a beautiful ceremony that was exactly what we wanted. She was also very helpful in explaining the various marriage license/certificate forms. She was a joy to work with!
