About this vendor
Ahhhh Love, is there anything better?
Your love story is like no one else's...
your ceremony should be just as unique as your love for each other.
Everyone has their own special story... how they met, how they fell in love...
the adventures they've shared and the dreams they hold for the future.
I have been writing custom love stories for my couples for over 25 years and I love to create a ceremony that evokes both happy tears and lifetime memories. You'll know every word I'm going to say, so there are no surprises, and I'm happy to help you write your own personal vows as well!
I am both a Non-denominational, Interfaith Minister through Unity and Soul Community Church as well as a Certified Humanist Celebrant with the American Humanist Society with a Master's Certification in Humanist Celebrancy. This means that I'm comfortable walking in and blending both worlds and incorporating aspects from any religion while creating a ceremony that truly reflects YOUR beliefs while honoring your family of origin. My vision is to make everyone feel included and that's honestly easier to do than you think - though it does help having taught comparative world religious studies ;)
As a marriage & relationship counselor & coach for over 30 years, I am available to provide premarital counseling endorsed by the American Psychological Association. Though it's not required, every couple that has gone through my course has highly recommended it afterwards! It's the best way to set a solid foundation for a lifetime of closer intimacy & understanding.
I'm Jamie Dee Schiffer, now based in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania and serve loving couples throughout Eastern PA (from the Poconos to Philadelphia), all of Maryland, DC, and Northern Virginia (my 2nd home). I proudly represent and serve the LGBTQ+ community and have been a champion of marriage equality for over 25 years. I invite you to connect with me and discover how I can help you create a ceremony that tells your personal love story.

Cannot recommend Jamie more- from the first conversation we knew Jamie would be the perfect fit- she took the time to get to know us, included amazing details in her ceremony, and workshopped with us until the script was exactly what we envisioned. We had so many guests come up to us and say it was the most heartfelt ceremony they had been to, and many asked how we were related because it was so true to us! Communication was also seamless and Jamie is excellent with timing, providing us the exact length of the ceremony down to the second! Thank you again, Jamie!!
It was such a pleasure to work with Jamie, we cannot recommend her enough. Our search criteria were a woman without religious affiliations, which is somewhat broad. Of course, we wanted someone who was experienced and competent, as we knew little about how a ceremony should go! Jamie ticked all those boxes, but on top of that, she just radiated positive and happy energy. Wedding planning can be stressful, and we were pretty stressed at that point, and whenever we talked with Jamie, we felt our anxiety dissipate. She curated a beautiful, personalized ceremony for us—several of our guests told us this was the best ceremony they have ever witnessed. Your officiant (or celebrant) and ceremony really set the tone for the whole wedding, as that is the beginning of the event for the guests, and the reason why we are all there. One thing we had not thought about beforehand was how the officiant’s words would be such an important part in our wedding videos, so you need someone you are truly happy with. Now, every time we watch our videos and hear Jamie talk, we are transported to those light, happy, festive moments. Again, we cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Jamie.
