Jane was exceptional. She took the time and effort to get to know us and our families before our wedding. She learned our story and the passion and love that drove our relationship...
. At the rehearsal, she made sure to connect with every family and bridal party member who played a significant role in our love story. Her message perfectly reflected our personal faith and love for each other. All of my bridesmaids shared that they loved her message and that it resonated deeply with us. A few guests even asked if she knew us because she spoke to us as if she were a close friend. Thank you for your kindness and for honoring our relationship as special as we perceive it to be.

y that immediately put us at ease especially after the hectic morning leading to the ceremony!
Her storytelling was beautiful — she shared the story of how we met with such care and sincerity that our guests were completely captivated. The vows she wrote were deeply personal and reflected our love story perfectly.
Jane is a true professional and a gifted storyteller. She brought heart, grace, and calmness to every moment. We’re endlessly grateful to her for making our ceremony so unforgettable. We highly recommend Jane as the officiant for your wedding! It was truly a pleasure working with her! She made our ceremony truly unforgettable!

I don’t even know where to begin! Pastor Jane went above and beyond for us from the first time she responded to our initial request for information. We were putting our wedding tog...
ether on a VERY short timeline but she was heading out of town for a conference so she literally set up a same-day Zoom meeting with us while she was waiting to board a plane. After that 10 minute call we were positive she was the one.
We met with her in person to get started putting the ceremony together a week later. My fiancé and I loved that she was so open to personalizing our ceremony so that it was a true reflection of us. Jane had a great idea to incorporate my kids into the ceremony.
She helped us with both the secular and religious readings we wanted. She provided lots of options for the length and order of the ceremony. But what we loved best was that she really took time to get to know us during our short engagement. So on our wedding day she was able to perform our ceremony & her message felt like it was done by a family pastor and friend who had known us for years. So many guests commented on how beautiful and special ceremony was.
She kept us at ease that day and was such a joy to work with! It is obvious that she is not only a very talented speaker & pastor, but also that she loves performing weddings and getting to know people. Jane comes with no judgement or agenda. She just wants to give each couple the ceremony that best fits them and celebrate their love and commitment.
I would recommend her to any couple. She made our day perfect and I’ll be forever grateful.

For me, the most important part of the wedding was the ceremony so I did not take search for an officiant lightly. Even with all of my hopes and wishes, I could not have imagined a...
better service than the one that Jane delivered. It was simply perfection. The service was light when it needed to be light and deeply thoughtful when it needed to be that as well. I appreciated that she spoke with us and got to know us as a couple and it was so beautiful to hear her weave parts of our story into the ceremony. I cannot emphasize enough how blown away I was by what an excellent ceremony we had thanks to Jane. It was not just what she said (although the words she spoke were beautiful and impactful) it was also her energy and presence throughout the ceremony. I genuinely wouldn't change any bit of it and I can't thank Jane enough for being so incredible to work with and for being such an incredible officiant.

he time to truly get to know us and crafted a message that felt deeply personal and authentic. At our rehearsal, when we first arrived and were immediately surrounded by people wanting to say hello, I started walking toward her to greet her. But she gently observed the moment and noticed my mom eagerly waiting to hug and congratulate me. With calm and warmth, she said, “Go ahead hug your mom,” giving me the space to take in that special moment. On the day of the wedding, right before the ceremony, she had everyone take a deep breath , and I didn’t realize how much I needed that. Her calm, steady energy helped anchor us during such an emotional time.

the time to really get to know you and your partner in order to create a personalized and memorable ceremony. Jane was very accommodating and always willing to arrange a call to further iron out details or talk through ideas. Thanks to Jane, our ceremony was perfectly tailored and unique. In fact, the vows that we included caught the attention of our guests, with many commenting on how lovely they were- one couple later used the same vows in their wedding ceremony later in the year!

Jane was the perfect officiant for our wedding ceremony! She struck the ideal balance between the seriousness of the occasion and a lighthearted warmth that got everyone smiling. S...
ince we had a mixed-religion wedding, we wanted a gentle, spiritual feel without referencing any specific faith, and Jane delivered exactly that.
Before our wedding, she took the time to meet with us, getting to know our story and the things we love most about each other. She incorporated these personal details into her speech, making the ceremony feel uniquely ours. Even though we chose to say our vows privately, Jane created a meaningful, heartfelt atmosphere that felt truly special.
If you’re looking for an officiant who can tailor the ceremony to your vision, honor your beliefs (or blend of beliefs), and bring warmth, sincerity, and a touch of humor, Jane is the one. We’re so grateful she was part of our day!

s. She helped us all truly relish in the joy of our family coming together. But not only was she fun and easy to work with, she's also deeply insightful. Her message was so uniquely inspiring to us that it actually helped me commit to some other changes in my life, and my wedding day become not just a pivotal moment for our relationship but for the journey of my life. She was able to speak those important words because she got to know us so well during our preparation video call. We were astonished by the things she elucidated from that relatively short time together. You can also tell Jane truly cares about the couples with whom she works. She's kept in contact with us since the wedding, and we can feel her genuine happiness and best wishes for us radiating from her. I think it is also worth mentioning that Jane was flexible and not the kind of person to be easily frazzled. We had some last minute changes, even ones that occurred during the ceremony, and Jane flowed right with it and made it look like it was the plan all along. We especially appreciated her flexibility in helping us include our young child in the ceremony. To be honest, I didn't first reach out to Jane because I wasn't sure I wanted a "fab" wedding, haha. We wanted an intimate, meaningful, heartfelt ceremony, and I wasn't sure if a business named "fab weddings" would be the right fit. But oh my goodness, I was so wrong. Our wedding was fabulously intimate, fabulously meaningful, and fabulously heartfelt. Although I'm sure if you want a good ol' fabulous wedding, she can do that too. Oh, and one more thing! We also weren't sure we wanted a pastor officiating our wedding, because we didn't want it to be religious. Jane was totally cool with that too. All in all, I simply cannot recommend Jane enough. She absolutely has found her calling and is using it to spread a lot of love and light.

hat clearly demonstrated the depth of the couple's friendship and love for each other to the 200 guests, many of whom would not know the details of how they first connected or persevered through a long distance relationship during college. Jane wove together the past and the present in such a beautiful, perfect way because she gets people and meets them where they're at for planning their ceremony - whether they have an active, vibrant faith, feel disconnected to the faith of their youth or did not grow up in a faith tradition at all. Highly recommend!

Pastor Jane was absolutely perfect for capturing our relationship in front of all of our loved ones. After a few times meetings via Zoom and over the phone, I already felt like we ...
had such a great relationship and that we had known each other for years. Jane has the ability to remember parts of our lives and place it so purposefully in her wedding ceremony message. I remember thinking during the ceremony how she was able to stand up there and tell our story so eloquently. Not only did we just have an officiant for our wedding day, but I truly feel that we gained an amazing relationship with an incredible pastor. I highly recommend Pastor Jane for your wedding ceremony!
