We are so fortunate to have found Jane! She was an exceptional officiant, and truly cares about you, your ceremony, and the success of your marriage, which all shows in the personalized and thoughtful experience she provides before the wedding,...
during the ceremony, and even post-wedding. She perfectly delivered in balancing what we both wanted out of the ceremony, and put such thought into the personal anecdotes throughout. We were blown away by her, and received (and continue to receive!) many comments from friends and family about how special & full of love our ceremony was. Additionally, my husband and I wanted to do some additional pre-marital sessions with our officiant, and Jane happily accommodated. We are so glad we pursued this, as Jane provided a supportive environment for productive discussions and reassurances as we entered our marriage. In summary, Jane is thoughtful, kind, intelligent, supportive, well-spoken, and fun. She is everything (and more) we could have wanted in an officiant!
