About this vendor
Your wedding deserves more than a script, it deserves a host who can carry your love story from “I do” to the last toast. At It’s Official Services, I offer a seamless, luxury experience as both your officiant and MC. That means one trusted voice guiding your ceremony and reception with warmth, clarity, and energy! No awkward pauses, no hand-offs, just a celebration that flows beautifully from start to finish.
With a background in social work, I bring empathy, presence, and the ability to connect with every guest in the room. Whether I’m crafting a ceremony that reflects your story or keeping the dance floor buzzing, my role is to ensure your wedding feels connected, intentional, and unforgettable.
Beyond the wedding day, I also offer premarital and postmarital coaching to help couples step into marriage with confidence and lasting connection.
Let’s create a wedding experience your guests will rave about and one you’ll remember with joy for years to come.

We could not have asked for a more perfect officiant for my daughter’s wedding! From the very first conversation, Janelle was warm, professional, and genuinely invested in getting ...
to know the bride and groom as a couple. Janelle crafted a ceremony that felt so personal, it was heartfelt, joyful, and meaningful.
Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and genuine the ceremony was. Janelle’s words captured Gina and Samad’s story perfectly and set the tone for the rest of the day. She guided us through every step with calm confidence, made sure we felt comfortable, and brought such positive energy to the entire experience.
If you’re looking for someone who will make your ceremony unforgettable and full of heart, we wholeheartedly recommend Janelle. She truly made the ceremony feel magical!
We couldn't say enough about Janelle and how fantastic she was during this entire process. From the first meeting over the phone to the ceremony itself, Janelle proved to be one of...
our best finds during this wedding planning.
As a same-sex couple, there is always the concern of finding vendors who will treat you with respect and attention, and Janelle exceeded every expectation we had.
From a logistical standpoint, she was also extremely flexible in our requests, including bending over backwards so that we could sign our marriage licenses EXACTLY on the date we wanted. She walked us through each step of this otherwise (sort of) intimidating process. She even entertained our silly concept for our unity ceremony!
It's no exaggeration that of all the vendors we had, our guests had asked us the most about her (a la "where on earth did you find her??"). Janelle was a highlight to the most important day for myself and my husband, and we couldn't be happier to recommend her to anyone looking for a top-class officiant.
Janelle was absolutely the best! She was our perfect final piece to bring our wedding ceremony together. Janelle was able to tell our story to our loved ones better than we could. ...
She will always be apart of the Morales family.

s with any questions we had regarding our ceremony, marriage license, and our vows. She not only made an effort to get to know us as a couple, but also as individuals which made our ceremony extremely unique to us. On the day of, she was punctual and made sure the ceremony was running smoothly. We highly recommend Janelle to anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding day. Thank you so much again Janelle for everything ! - The Silvas

ve and interacted wonderfully with the guests. Like I hate when the officiant steals the show or when they are too dry and boring and Janelle had the perfect balance of when to be funny and entertaining and when to turn the focus to us and our vows. We would highly recommend. Janelle thanks for being part of our special day!
My husband and I found Janelle a month or so before our wedding. She was a Godsend, almost like she was supposed to marry us! We booked her after the first call and she hit the gr...

Some people say nothing is perfect, but our officiant (Janelle) was perfect for us. Janelle is a spectacular woman, that’s friendly, great positive energy and easy to open up to. W...
e started working with Janelle individually, then we had group meetings. Janelle took the time to listen to our love story and twelve year relationship. From these meetings Janelle was able to draw up a ceremony design that would describe our journey as if she’d known us for years. Janelle is very thorough with explaining the marriage license process. The day of our wedding, Janelle came in and did what she does with ease and elegance. When it came to the actual ceremony, my husband and I approached the chapel doors. I became nervous and felt like my heart was beating out of my chest. When the chapel doors opened, we saw our guest and Janelle standing there looking like an angle in her big puffy tulle white dress. She followed our wedding color theme 😍. Once we made it down the aisle and to the alter, Janelle started her speech. A calm came over me, I was no longer nervous. The ceremony design that Janelle had come up with was true and touching to us and our guest. She guided us through that ceremony like an angel with wings. Janelle hung around at the reception, mingling with our friends and family. We received so many compliments about her. We could not be more happy with Janelle, so when people say nothings perfect. Think twice because sometimes there’s a little magic that will make things just perfect for you. That was Janelle for us.
Excellent, very resourceful, pleasant attitude. And very adaptive. Just orchestrated a superb,ceremony and I would highly recommended.
I messaged Janelle frantically when I realized a couple months before my wedding day that I didn’t have an officiant. Janelle was a breeze to work with and handled all of my questi...

We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a memorable and meaningful ceremony.
