Ceremonies De Vie

wedding to get to know us better so that we can have a more personalized ceremony. She listened to our feedbacks (at least two back and forths!) and incorporated them into the ceremony so that it genuinely reflected our love story. The attention to detail and care Joann took to write such a beautiful script was evident from the many positive compliments we received about it from our guests. We are beyond grateful to Joann for helping make our wedding day that much more amazing!

king about how wonderful and brilliant the ceremony was. It was all thanks to Joann!!! If you want the greatest ceremony, get Joann!!

y and have trouble expressing ourselves in the open so the task to get a ceremony from us was a daunting. Fortunately we had Joann there to help us break out of our shell making the task great for us to reminesce on what we love about each other. She was extremely prompt about responding to questions and concerns we had and made sure to schedule time with us on each point to ensure everything was perfect. The ceremony was as beatuful as we envisioned and we were very happy with the results. Good communication, professionalism, and being fun to talk with us are hard traits to come by but somehow Joann embodied these aspects help bringing togther one of the best days of our lives. We highly recommend Joann if you are doing a ceremony in the San Diego area and it a pleasure working with her.

our love story perfectly. We had several Zoom and phone calls leading up to the wedding (given we were living overseas during the planning) because she wanted to make sure she got to know us and was able to create something that truly captured us - and she did an amazing job! I highly recommend Joann for a truly beautiful and personal ceremony that both the couple and guests will love.

y, he even played some our favorite songs before and after the ceremony that the string musicians couldn't play. We planned this wedding from across the country- Joann and Brian were part of our 'team' of helpers who made our vision come to life.

ssence of our relationship. Joann was easy to contact by email and Zoom, which made the prospect of writing personalized vows a lot less daunting! On the day of the ceremony, Joann worked with our photographer so we could get the first look captured. I was definitely stressing a bit the night before, but Joann was clear in her explanations and everything went more smoothly than I could have imagined. Thank you for making our ceremony and our big day one filled with love, joy, and precious memories!

d an amazing job getting to know me and my now-wife and gaining a deeper understanding of who we are as people and all of the elements of our relationship that she was able to capture beautifully during our ceremony. There were many happy tears during our ceremony and a big part of that was Joann detailing the love that me and my wife share for each other and I couldn't recommend her enough for any other weddings!

spond and super flexible. Our audio sounded great and the wedding was amazing. He made the entire process stress-free. We were able to select the specific songs we wanted for the ceremony. I highly recommend Brian and Ceremonies De Vie!

of our lives. We would 100% recommend Joann to anyone who would like to get married in the San Diego area. Thank you so much Joann for making one of our most important days special and memorable!

had to say. When we reached out to Joann at the beginning, we had full faith and trust in her and she delivered nothing less than perfect. Everyone needs Joann in their life and especially at their wedding!

the already special moment. We placed our trust in Joann and we could not have asked for a better officiant to be there for us on the big day. Her level of care and desire to make the ceremony special sets her apart. Would recommend her a million times over.

llowed by two additional meetings to go over what she wrote. She payed attention to what we said about each other and that reflected so nicely in what she said about us during the ceremony. We are so grateful we chose her.

de us feel comfortable and confident enough to write our own vows for the ceremony, which all our guests loved! Many of our guests also came up to us afterwards to tell us it was one of the best ceremonies they've been to! Joann also handled all the logistics of the wedding license after the ceremony so that Shawn and I wouldn't have to worry about sending it back after the wedding. We couldn't recommend Joann enough!

or us. Joann communicated quickly with us and made sure we had ceremony drafts to review prior to our special day. She made all of the changes and suggestions and was quick to come up with ideas to make our wedding memorable. I would recommend Joann to anyone who wants to work with an easy-going, well-spoken, and professional officiant. Thank you Joann for making our wedding ceremony so memorable! Pam & Evan

e truly could not have asked for more. She braved the wind and rain and truly made our day special!

ncere ceremony they have seen!

liments from our friends and family were all about how beautiful and personal our ceremony was to us! We had a blast getting to know Joann and working together. Thank you for making our day truly magical!

inutes or less. She made the ceremony feel so * us * and we’re grateful to have that beautiful memory for the rest of our lives. After our wedding, Joann even mailed us the vows she printed for us the day of - it was such a lovely and sweet surprise! Her husband also managed our sound/music for the ceremony and he was great! His whole set up was really professional and he even covered up all the wires with a sleek cover so everything looked great. They made our special day truly feel special. This was particularly important to us for our intimate ceremony. We found not everyone puts the same effort into intimate ceremonies but Joann always made us feel special throughout the entire process. I highly recommend working with Joann and her husband for your wedding!

itself, like fun couple's therapy sessions). And the day of she was calm and relaxed despite all the wedding chaos and delivered a lovely ceremony. One that was just as romantic and us as we'd hoped.

e met with Joann twice via Zoom and she was always available and willing to make any changes we wanted. On the wedding day, she was punctual and prepared to deliver a memorable ceremony for us and our guests. Thank you again!!!

ony. We also had done a slightly nontraditional unity ceremony that she incorporated perfectly. We even received compliments from our guests about how wonderful the ceremony was and how much they enjoyed Joann. Overall she is extremely kind and professional and was a joy to work with. We highly recommend her and will treasure our ceremony forever because of her!

e customizes a wedding ceremony to express how you met and who you are as a couple. Joann also supports you in writing individual vows which are both personalized and meaningful. Joann was incredibly supportive the day of the wedding and my guests absolutely loved her presentation and demeanor. I received several compliments from my family and friends who stated the ceremony and vows suited us perfectly. Joann's husband, Brian provided the sound and music for the wedding ceremony and reception. He was great to work with and responded to special requests throughout the evening, he even stayed a little longer than contracted when guests wanted to dance a few more songs. Joann and Brian are truly a power couple; both are professional and competent. It is great to work with kind, down to earth people that genuinely care about your special day. I would definitely give them a call to discuss their services and fees! :)

anks to her help!

ell she really cares about her work and the couples she works with. 10/10 recommend Joann!🥂

en to all our input and opinions, and we had it perfect by the third draft. The ceremony couldn't have gone better and we have gotten so many compliments on how Joann conducted our ceremony. Plus, she is just the sweetest!

nship. Not only did she make the ceremony flow smoothly, she made it extremely memorable and unique to our story. We are so happy that we got to work with Joann, both as an officiant and as a wonderful person.

te the short notice. She put in a great effort to get to know us and understand our relationship and personalities. She expertly crafted this information into the perfect ceremony script in the first draft.

ioned it. She is the sweetest, kindest and most adorable wedding officiant out there! And funny too! We are so lucky to have had her marry us.

nd working with her!!!

ouple. She even let us review everything beforehand and make changes to anything we wanted! All of our guests were impressed with our ceremony and how well she conducted it. Definitely recommend if you are looking for an officiant!

t each other and considered our constraints & objectives. We knew then we made the right choice and would recommend Joann to officiate any of our friends’ or families’ wedding.

f us prior, came to where we were staying to meet with us the day before, and the day of performed the most beautiful ceremony!! There was not a dry eye there including her own! She was so genuine and so sweet. She was so very helpful and even offered to bring some of her own things to make the ceremony perfect. 1000% recommend her for any wedding!!

made. She really truly took the time to get to know us and get to know our relationship. On the day of the wedding she was so calm and collected which helped both me and my wife that special day. Her words during our ceremony really represented our relationship and were beautiful from beginning to end. The best part above all else was how much we could see that she cared about us and took a vested interest in both of us and that is something we will always remember and cherish. Joann, we can truly and honestly say our wedding would not have been the same without you!!! Thank you so much for everything and we will for sure stay in touch!

ed Joann and from our first meeting with her I felt she was genuine and really took the time to get to know us. She gave each of us some homework to help her put together a draft of the ceremony and I was impressed with the first draft. We had very minor edits, but she really captured us in the ceremony! We live in the Bay Area and so planning a wedding in another city is challenging, but Joann was very responsive and when we did meet her in person she was such a delight. We finalized the ceremony and she even came to our rehearsal! She handled the marriage license and took care of sending it back to the county clerk in the city we live in after the wedding. It was just seamless and stress free. The wedding license is the most important document out of all the pieces of paper your gather while planning your wedding so it felt great to have a professional take care of it so we could just relax and enjoy the days after our wedding. The favorite part of our wedding day was our ceremony and we received many compliments from our guests on how beautiful the ceremony was. Joann set the stage for that and we are truly grateful.

and we are glad we found her to officiate our ceremony.

worth taking the time to write our own vows- thanks to Joann for the encouragement to do so. I highly recommend Joann.

s her stand out the most - she has a rare and unique talent for really being able to listen and understand people, who they are and what they want deep down. Because of this, she made our ceremony so personal and special. We planned our wedding virtually - living in Arizona during COVID lockdowns and worked with Joann over the phone and email. After a phone call and an email questionnaire - she was somehow able to understand us, our love, and what we wanted better than we could have explained ourselves. We could tell she really put a lot of research, thought, and time into creating our ceremony. Afterwards, all our guests kept commenting it was one of the most special ceremonies they’d ever seen, and we felt the same. It was our favorite part of the wedding. Joann had such a sweet, calming presence and the way she spoke was so sincere, beautiful, and moving. She also goes above and beyond in her services, offering so much more than officiating the ceremony. Joann will work with you on multiple drafts of a ceremony (though we felt ours was perfect off the bat) help you with your own personal vows if you want, provide valuable insight throughout the planning process and rehearsal, help with the certificate and license, and much more. She is so experienced, professional, and really knows what she’s doing in a multitude of ways. We will be forever grateful to Joann for being such a huge part of what made our big day perfect.
