throughout the entire process, she offered suggestions that were spot on. She took our desires for the ceremony to heart and interwove what was important for us throughout the entire ceremony. Her words were powerful; touching so many people that witnessed our union. Not to mention how funny she is! Her lighthearted demeanor gave way for the seriousness and intensity that naturally occurs during a ceremony. All in all, there wasn’t a dry seat in the house; everyone cried tears of joy and awe. Janet, from the bottom of our hearts- we are so thankful. You are a loving, compassionate, and understanding person we will not forget. We are so fortunate to have you marry us!

t was warm, but also very professional. She was open to the amount of spiritual aspects we wanted to include but was also thrilled that our dog was a big part of the ceremony. She was extremely helpful in our choices and made us feel like the most important people in the world. She is a blessing who helped to launch our marriage into a wonderful new chapter of life and love!
My husband and I first met Janet at our friends wedding four and a half years ago. We knew then that she would be a perfect fit for our own wedding someday and she really was. She ...
is just as amazing then as she is now. Super kind, friendly, and communicative. The thing that we loved the most and many other people at our wedding also complemented her on was her ability to speak very clearly in both Spanish and English. She truly made our wedding ceremony so memorable and special.
