Jennifer Bartlett
Owner
Married for over 26 years and an athletic coach for over 30 years, I embarked on my officiating journey unexpectedly but wholeheartedly. It all started because a graduated athlete asked me to officiate their wedding. I found a calling in crafting personalized wedding ceremonies. Using my diverse religious background helps me infuse each ceremony with meaning and authenticity. It is a great joy to help couples create their perfect ceremony.

If we could give Jen more than 5 stars, we absolutely would! She did an incredible job officiating our wedding and made the entire experience even more special than we could have imagined. From the very beginning, Jen was fantastic at communicating with us and ensuring that every detail of the ceremony was exactly what we envisioned.
Not only did she craft a beautiful, personalized ceremony that perfectly captured our love, but she also provided the calming presence I desperately needed on our big day. Standing in front of a crowd can be nerve-wracking, but Jen made us feel so at ease. Her warm, comforting words helped us stay focused on each other, as if it was just the two of us in the room.
We wholeheartedly recommend Blessings By Bartlett to anyone looking for a thoughtful, funny, and genuinely caring officiant. Jen helped make our wedding day unforgettable, and we are so grateful for her presence in our lives!
P.S. She even moved for our first kiss and many other special moments!

Knowing that I could bring you both comfort and ease on such a meaningful day fills my heart with joy. It’s couples like you who remind me why I love what I do! Thank you for trusting me to be part of your journey and for sharing such a thoughtful review. Wishing you a lifetime of love, laughter, and all the happiness your hearts can hold! ❤️

We were introduced to Jenn from our wedding venue. We scheduled a meeting with her and knew she would be the perfect addition for our wedding day. She was very professional, responsive, efficient, and had a sense of calmness about her that we needed on the wedding day. When it came to the night before the wedding, Jenn was present for practicing our walking line up and rehearsal. We told her to take charge and the coach in her got us organized and kept everything moving, on time, and yet friendly and warm. Several of our wedding party members wished they had her during their wedding because she was great to work with. Once the big day arrived, she was there early to make sure everything was ready to go, and checked in with us, the DJ, and day of coordinator. She personalizes your ceremony through a questionnaire and virtual and in person meeting to be just how you want it. She also has great details and guidance during the ceremony that no one else thinks of: hand position, where we stand, holding hands, etc. We went to 6 weddings the year prior to ours and, when our day finally came, we realized all the little things that set Jen apart. She was wonderful to work with and I will be recommending her to anyone I know getting married.

at I had the honor of being part of such a beautiful and meaningful day for you both. From our first meeting, I knew your wedding would be full of love, joy, and intentional moments—and it truly was.
I’m so glad my calm presence and “coach mode” helped keep things on track while still feeling warm and personal. Your kind words about the details I bring to the ceremony mean so much—those little things really do make a big difference, and I love helping couples feel confident and fully present in their moment.
Your wedding party was a joy to work with, and I’m beyond touched to hear that others saw the value in what I bring to the day. Thank you again for trusting me with such an important role, and for sharing your experience so generously. Wishing you both a lifetime of love, laughter, and happy memories.
Blessings,
Jenn

It was such a pleasure to work with Jennifer. As we planned the wedding ceremony, Jennifer was attentive and very considerate with any helpful suggestions as we tailored the ceremony how we wanted it. It was such an easy process and relieved us from any stress with planning a wedding ceremony. Communication with her was stellar and it never felt like we skipped a beat. Both the rehearsal and the wedding ceremony went perfect and we are the happiest we've ever been.

We thought Jenn did a great job of finding a balance between an industry professional and a friend. We highly recommend adding the marriage counseling package. When your wedding officiant knows you on a personal level, it really adds a depth to the big day that surprised us. If nothing else, we feel it was absolutely worth it to get to know Jenn, as we have made a lifelong friend in the process. The officiating and ceremony building process was also a seamless experience, we are so thankful for how effortless she makes the process seem.

We are so BLESSED to have had Jen officiate our wedding. She was amazing to work with and really cared about our story and wedding visions. She went above and beyond to ask personal details and turn it into a beautiful gift of a speech at the beginning of our ceremony. She also made sure to check with me multiple times to ask if I needed anything and to help me prepare. If you need an Officiant, look no further than Blessings by Bartlett!

Jenn was amazing and we could not imagine having any other officiant by our side navigating this day with us! She was professional, detailed, fun, and genuine. She was calm even when I wasn't. We had a 25 minute rain delay and she was willing to wait however long it took so we could have our ceremony outside like we wanted rather than inside. She reassured me that it was our day and it was going to be special no matter what. She had templates of suggestions for all the different ceremony options but also allowed us to tweak things and make it personal to us and how we wanted our ceremony. You can be as basic, religious, traditional, non traditional as you want...she truly wants you to have a ceremony that fits you as a couple. It was important to us to have an officiant that we felt comfortable with and there was no hesitation after our first meeting that we were definitely going to be using Blessings by Bartlett! She is an inspiration to all humans and we are blessed to have crossed paths with her. Thank you Jenn!

Jennifer is the officiant that you dream about. We went into this unsure of what we exactly wanted for the ceremony. She was able to come to my now husband and myself, with ideas with meticulous planning that eased the nerves of our wedding day.
Jennifer crafted the most memorable ceremony script that we will forever cherish. I couldn't describe how thankful and happy that Jennifer was apart of our wedding day.

Jen was absolutely amazing at everything she did for us. She took quality time to get to know us, our story, and our future. She was very detailed oriented when it came to crafting a perfect ceremony with everything that we wanted. She was very communicative in scheduling meetings and adjusted/answered our questions in a timely manner. We were extremely particular with the type of person we wanted to do our ceremony, and through talking with Jen, we chose her because of her faith, commitment, and professionalism. Through excellent dedication and connection, not only did we have the ceremony of our dreams but we gained a friend in the process. I highly recommend Jen. She will truly help your dream ceremony come to life.

Ray and I have both been married before so it was very important for us that our wedding be unique to us, that it show the love that is truly representative of what we have for each other, and that it wasn’t bound by the “you have to” rules that so many weddings have. We wanted a personalized, intimate ceremony with the people we are closest with and we were truly able to achieve that.
It was truly a blessing to work with Jenn. She has an incredible mind for detail but was able to work with us in a way that did not feel impersonal or overwhelming. Not only did she meet with us, but she had detailed surveys for collecting information that she used to personalize our ceremony. She gave us options for pre-planned structures but was excited to add verbiage of my choosing if there was something specific I had in mind. She read over my vows when I asked and gave feedback to make sure we weren’t repeating any of the same things during the ceremony. She even made sure she knew all the colors for the wedding so her outfit would match and not clash for photos. This attention to detail, and her genuine love for what she does made our day so special.
Jenn is a dear friend and would have been one on the short list of attendees to our wedding, but having her in front, standing with us, leading us through this day, was even more special. She brings peace and grace, and has a way of speaking words of affirmation over people that is truly a gift. You will be blessed when you choose to have Jenn help create and officiate your ceremony.

What a beautiful ceremony Jenn officiated for us! Jenn’s faith, warmth, and attention to detail made the entire process easy. Jenn took the time to understand our love story and what we envisioned in our small casual wedding ceremony by the lake. She personalized every aspect, weaving in elements that were meaningful to us and creating a truly unforgettable experience for both of us. Jenn put all of our guests at ease with her humor and warm, welcoming spirit. She delivered a ceremony that was heartfelt, engaging, and filled with love. Thank you, Jenn, for making our day even more memorable and full of genuine love than we could have imagined. You are truly a blessing!
