Jeddah Vailakis, Elegant & Heartfelt Ceremonies

Jeddah really gets to know you and your partner, making a beautiful, heartfelt and connected ceremony. She really helped our vision come to life and worked with us on making something truly unique!

We were prepared to be happy with a simple civil ceremony but Rev. Jeddah made an effort to get to know who we really were and to gently encourage us to examine what we saw in each other and what this marriage would mean to us. With an extraordinary grace and great care she molded our ceremony into a very personal, moving and beautiful experience, the memory of which we shall treasure the rest of our lives. She even aided us in our selection of an appropriate venue. We will be forever grateful to her for creating a magical beginning to our journey together. ❤ Alex & Steve

Jeddah was perfect! She really got to know us and prepared a wonderfully tailored ceremony for us that was everything we wanted. We would highly recommend Jeddah to anyone, and all our guests commented on how she did an excellent job. She's warm and we couldn't have picked a better person to guide us into marriage.

We could not be happier to have chosen Jeddah as our officiant. To begin, she has been with us as we've rescheduled our event and changed our location multiple times as a result of COVID. Throughout all of this, she has been kind, flexible, and supportive. She even agreed to officiate our legal marriage on our original wedding date, in addition to officiating our larger ceremony and celebration almost a year later. When it came to our larger ceremony and celebration, we were blown away with how special and personalized Jeddah made it feel. We actually received so many compliments about our ceremony and how touching it was. Overall, Jeddah is a calming and supportive presence that feels so comforting during the planning process as well during the more hectic and nerve-wrecking parts of a celebration. If you are looking for an interfaith officiant who can create an intimate and personalized feel for your ceremony, there is no better choice in the NY area than Jeddah.

Jeddah was simply WONDERFUL!!!! There was not a dry eye in the audience and multiple guests came up to us after and said that was the most beautiful ceremony they've ever been to. Having a meaningful ceremony was very important to my husband and I and boy did Jeddah nail it. Jeddah took the time to get to know us (even though we really had only one week to prep together!!!) by the time of the ceremony it felt like she knew us deeply. She has such positive, warm, and loving energy. It would be a mistake not to go with Jeddah because she's that spectacular!

Jeddah did a phenomenal job helping us prepare for our wedding and officiating a beautiful ceremony. Her words during the ceremony set exactly the right tone for our guests so that the ceremony held the appropriate level of seriousness but was not at all stuffy or formulaic. She helped us navigate the challenging task of writing our own vows, which made the ceremony even more special for my wife and I. She also flawlessly accommodated all of our requests to handle delicate family situations and adjusted her words to reflect our spirituality vs. sticking to a set playbook. Multiple guests (and my wife and I) felt that the ceremony Jeddah officiated was the highlight of the entire wedding event, which goes to show how fantastic of a job she did. I would highly recommend Jeddah to any couple looking for an officiant to facilitate a spectacular and meaningful ceremony at their wedding.

Jeddah was an amazing officiant! A mutual friend recommended her to us and she was wonderful! She took the time to get to know us and had the most heartfelt ceremony. We had a micro wedding ceremony; our guests loved the way Jeddah has captured all the details that even family may not have known about us.

Jeddah was a wonderful officiant for our wedding. She was able to provide the right tone and heartfelt ceremony we were looking for. She really got to know us as individuals and as a couple. Would highly recommend hiring Jeddah for your wedding. We heard rave reviews from our guests and the ceremony that Jeddah created was perfectly curated for us.

Jeddah was amazing and I would highly recommend her for any wedding! She took the time to get to know us as a couple and wrote a beautiful ceremony that captures so many special details about us as a couple. Thank you Jeddah!

Jeddah officiated our wedding beautifully. We wanted a non-religious yet spiritual ceremony that focused on our love and our story. Jeddah helped us effortlessly put together a great ceremony with meaningful readings that we had the opportunity to pick ourselves. She provided the perfect balance between seriousness and humor, which was important to us. Her attention to detail, dedication to her promises, and ability to truly understand what each couple wants in a ceremony easily makes her one of the most wonderful officiants. Finding an officiant was initially an uncertain task for my wife and I, as neither of us were living in New York, though we married in Brooklyn however we planned everything from Texas. We came across Jeddah after spending months online trying to find the right officiant. From our initial conversation on FaceTime we knew that she was “the one” for us. We immediately felt at ease with her preparation, warm demeanor and stellar track record. She explained her process clearly and took the time to connect with us. In the months leading up to our wedding, Jeddah made herself available countless times and was always there to answer any questions or ease any stress. Initially, we did not know what we wanted our ceremony to look like but, we knew we wanted it to be a representation of the both of us. Jeddah was so patient with us. She never rushed us or pushed us to do anything we didn’t feel comfortable with. If we changed our mind about something she was supportive and encouraging. Her advice and words truly helped my wife and I through the entire wedding process not just the ceremony. She guided us so gently and with so much love. Her questionnaire was thoughtful and made creating our ceremony easy. It also allowed for my wife and I to slow down and connect with each other before the wedding. After going through the process with Jeddah, we were both excited about the ceremony itself, and on the day of our wedding, that’s when Jeddah really shines. By getting to know us as a couple and knowing what we were looking for, she delivered a ceremony that was beyond our wildest expectations. It was heartwarming, funny, and it felt like she’d known us for years. Jeddah was heaven sent for us! Honestly, if you’re looking for an officiant, please choose Jeddah. You will not regret it, and your ceremony will be something that you and your spouse can look back on fondly for years to come. We cannot thank her enough for the beautiful moments she created for us. With gratitude -MM

From our initial conversation on the phone with Jeddah we knew she was who we wanted to marry us. Her words were so thoughtful, she asked us questions to get our minds thinking about the special times over our years together which allowed us to re-visit special moments in our relationship. Meeting her in NYC was a helpful step to really know we were making the right choice - she was so warm and connected with us instantly. She was very thorough & explained her process to us upfront so we knew what to expect throughout the entire planning process. Her follow-up questionnaire was very detailed which helped form our ceremony & allowed us a great timeline to write our vows which meant a lot to us. Jeddah's personality was contagious, she had everyone in the room filled with tears & laughter connecting with our family & friends. Our guests still commented on how beautiful the ceremony was. We are so grateful to have found her and have had her as part of our most special day.

Where do I begin? Jeddah was referred to us by our wedding venue and the minute Jeddah and I connected over a phone call, I could just tell her heart was so sincere and that she truly loved what she does. We worked long-distance with Jeddah to create our unique and beautifully personalized wedding ceremony which we will never forget. She helped Andrew and I feel truly special and on such a big day and that was such a blessing. You WANT Jeddah on your team for whatever your big-day looks like, she is a truly inspirational, caring, kind, and beautiful person, inside and out!

We were very particular about the feelings we wanted our ceremony evoke - we wanted it to be heartfelt and touching, not too heavy but not necessarily lighthearted or funny. We wanted it to feel meaningful for all of our guests. We found all of this with Jeddah. She has such a beautiful and light spirit and was able to pull out of us all of the detail she needed to build an extremely beautiful ceremony incorporating our words with specific readings and stories we wanted to include but importantly with the setting and landscape of rolling hills and quiet, gentle breezes. We had just enough interaction that didn't feel like "work" and we had fun answering her questionnaire. It was just an absolute delight having her near. Strongly recommend.

We are so happy that we chose Jeddah to officiate our marriage. Planning a wedding can be an intimidating experience, and her experience and warmth helped us to feel confident about our ceremony. She also gave us excellent advice for other aspects of the event, and helped us stay centered on the day of the wedding. As for the ceremony itself, we were so moved by Jeddah’s words. She used our stories in a way that illuminated our relationship not only to our guests, but to us. We were hoping for a ceremony that expressed the joy and seriousness of the occasion, and Jeddah did just that. She even managed the noise of an interrupting train with humor and grace! We strongly recommend her to those looking for an officiant who will truly get to know you as a couple and craft a ceremony that is beautiful, meaningful, and personal. Thank you, Jeddah!

Had an incredible experience with Jeddah. She put so much effort into our ceremony. She was so eloquent and did such a beautiful job portraying our vision on our wedding day.

Jeddah Jeddah Jeddah. She herself was a blessing to have at our wedding to deliver our ceremony. From the first time we met her before she even begun speaking about the wedding I knew she was the one simply from her demeanor and the calming aura she has around her. She instantaneously makes you feel comfortable and confident in her. She provided a questionnaire to my then fiancé and I and captured all that explained our love our beliefs and totally and truly embodied who we were from our individual thoughts and from the perspective of the relationship. She truly put a spin on our wedding that is unforgettable. On our wedding day things were calm and then started to ramp up and my anxiety was creeping in but when Jeddah walked into our bridal suite and hugged me it was like magic and my jitters disappeared and I knew with her and my husband standing at the alter waiting for me, I was going to be just fine. Our guests loved her just as much as we did. I would love to get married over and over to see what she can deliver next. If looking for an officiant I without a doubt would recommended using Jeddah you will not be disappointed.

I’m sitting here on our second anniversary looking at pics and thinking about Jeddah. She was the most wonderful officiant we could have ever asked for or imagined. Jeddah has this magnetic draw to her, I don’t know how to explain it. We went to a destination wedding a month ago, and at their very own wedding all they kept asking about was our “incredible officiant”. Wherever Jeddah is these days we hope all is well and hope we can cross paths again one day. Steve & Hayley, 6/9/17

Jeddah did such a beautiful job officiating our ceremony and she was such a joy to work with! She really took the time to get to know my Wife and me, and her words were so specialized and personal. She also has a very kind way about her which makes her very endearing in both a one on one conversation and while officiating the ceremony. Our guests all raved about the ceremony and I don't think there was a dry eye in the house. Jeddah really made our big day extra special!

Thank you so much - you were wonderful to work with and your speech was perfect. We're so happy that you were up there with us, you made us both feel so comfortable. You made the process so easy for us, and we appreciate everything you worked through with us.

Jeddah delivered our dream ceremony! We had the most amazing experience with her from start to finish. She put in so much time and effort to get to know us and our relationship, and she made our vision of a simple heartfelt ceremony come to life!

I am a wedding photographer and I met Jeddah at a client's wedding at Foxfire Mountain House, where we would be getting married a month later. My husband and I had decided to do a self-uniting, after we found out our original officiant was pregnant and due too close to our wedding to attend. As soon as I met Jeddah, I knew we needed to restrategize and hire her as our celebrant. Jeddah's energy is incredible, and exactly the kind of soothing calm and groundedness I wanted around us on our big day. I was SO delighted when she shared that she was free and willing to work with us. We spent a few Skype and email sessions sharing our story with Jeddah and filling out separate questionnaires that revealed a bit about us as a couple and about our attitudes toward marriage. Although she'd never met Sean and had only met me briefly, Jeddah felt like a natural part of our ceremony and so beautifully incorporated what she'd learned about us to make the ceremony feel deeply personal and true to us. We had so many guests comment on her beautiful ceremony, and how it was one of the most beautiful and authentic that they had ever witnessed. I hope to always know Jeddah and to see our paths cross again and again throughout our lives.

We organised our wedding from another country and had to make all the choices over the phone and internet. Choosing an officiant was especially difficult as we felt this would be the heart and soul of our wedding. We interviewed several officiants and Jeddah was the obvious choice after our first conversation. For the first time in weeks, we felt as if we were actually getting married and not just planning an event :) During this phone call, we were excited and emotional and felt very lucky. Jeddah gave us homework and we took our time and went over the amazing materials she sent us. During the next call, Jeddah spent a lot of time trying to understand what the wedding means for us and how to tailor a ceremony that would be ours and not just her show. Jeddah arrived at the location and immediately everything went smoothly. Her experience shows! She has a way of making everything move along in the right direction while remaining pleasant and full of humour. And finally, the ceremony itself was magic! Jeddah has a magnetic personality and the final product was absolutely fabulous. She guided us skilfully through the ceremony and by the end there was not a dry eye in the room. We feel we were lucky to "stumble" upon Jeddah randomly through the internet and we hope this review will convince you to take Jeddah as your officiant and make your ceremony beautiful, emotional and most important, something that really tells the story of you.

From the moment we spoke with Jeddah, we knew we were the lucky ones in finding her. She just has this calming energy that immediately envelopes you, even via a Skype introduction phone call. My now husband and I were most looking forward to exchanging our own vows. There is something just so special about sharing such an intimate part of yourselves with your most trusted friends and family. As excited as we were, we were terrified! Terrified we would be a puddle of emotions, unable to focus in on the moment, or one spouse's vows would far exceed the other's. Jeddah took care of ALL of that...and then some. Even let us know how to tweak our vows to mimic more of the other one's flow (because we didn't want to hear the other's until the day of!). We had multiple Skype conversations over the 6 or so months leading up to the day. Talked about our concerns, or whatever evolved from there. It's so easy speaking to her. She has this total 'fairy godmother-esque' vibe. We got our 'homework' - an email consisting of a myriad of intimate couple questions to further let her in on your relationship. That's the greatest part about her. She takes the time to get to know you so she can create a ceremony specifically tailored to the two of you. On the day of the wedding I actually got emotional when she greeted us at the venue. During that time it was feeling overwhelmingly chaotic...and when I saw her I immediately knew I could decompress with her one hug. Everyone guest at the reception mentioned how beautiful the ceremony was and that it was their favorite part! We couldn't be more pleased with Jeddah. If you want an unforgettable event...look no further!

Jeddah worked with us in a very creative and personal manner. She was an integral part of making our ceremony uniquely our own, which will give us a lifetime of special memories. So many of our guests mentioned that they wished Jeddah had married them since she crafted such a moving ceremony! Some even thought she was a longtime friend since her words were so touching and personal. And one special moment was when she spoke a few words in Greek to honor my Greek relatives in attendance! We highly recommend Jeddah as a caring and supportive officiant for anyone’s wedding!

Working with Jeddah was a terrific experience. From our first meeting with her, we felt that she understood what we were looking for, and this carried through until the end. She was very helpful in guiding us through the process from start to finish, offering helpful advice and council along the way. During our event, Jeddah really helped make it a very special day through carefully chosen words that really helped set the tone and let us soak it all in. We are very grateful to have found Jeddah and to have had the opportunity to work with her. We would recommend her without hesitation. M & S

Thank you so much for taking the time to get to know us in order to write a beautiful ceremony that really spoke to us, made us laugh and brought all of our loved ones together. We were so happy with how it all turned out, and all of our guests could tell how happy we were. As you know, the ceremony was the one part I had nerves about before the big day, and writing my vows in particular, but you made the process so smooth and fun, and helped us remember what it was all about as we went along.. our love and starting our new lives together. I will never forget you asking us to look up into the trees before pronouncing us husband and wife, among many other memorable and special moments that helped us be present. Working with you was truly a gift, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your hard work in making our dream ceremony come true!

Working with Jeddah was the most wonderful experience. We knew that our ceremony would not be traditional, but after getting to know us and learning our story, Jeddah created a beautiful, personalized ceremony that made us laugh and cry and begin the happiest celebration of our lives. Many of our guests said it was the most memorable ceremony they had seen. Not only were her words thoughtful and meaningful to us, she also helped us be present on our big day. We can't recommend her enough!

Our experience with Jeddah performing our magical fairy tale ceremony in the Pine grove of Roxbury barn NY. Her wisdom...grace..sensitivity and love was felt by all .. we are so deeply greatful A ten star experience

Jeddah was fantastic and we would give her more than 5 stars if we could! Working with her leading up to the wedding was great and she provided us tons of resources and options for me and my husband to go through to help us customize our ceremony. She helped us create a wedding that truly captured our personalities and the joy of our relationship. When I told her about how I was nervous standing in front of everyone she really helped to calm my nerves and made sure there were tissues nearby during the ceremony! We had numerous people tell us during the reception that the wedding ceremony was one of the best, if not the best, one they ever attended since it was so heartfelt and personal. Thank you again Jeddah!

Jeddah was great! We appreciated her thoroughness in preparing readings based off our responses to her questionnaire. Our ceremony was great as a result.

Jeddah Vailakis is absolutely incredible. She put together the perfect ceremony for us. Jackie and I weren't 100% sure what we wanted in our ceremony. We joked that we wanted it to be 15 seconds... you do, I do, we do... let's start cocktail hour. Jeddah was so kind and patient, she said that it's tough being the center of attention but it's your wedding and helped us figure out the ceremony that we always wanted but just didn't know how to express it. We didn't make it easy on her... we want it to be fun but not funny, serious but not too serious, heartfelt but we don't want everybody crying, I think I said we want it "special" (most people can't take direction like "make it special" or "make it perfect" and pull it off... Jeddah did). Jeddah was able to take all of that and turn it into the perfect 20 minute ceremony that everyone at the wedding raved about... I'm so glad she talked us out of the 15 second version.

Jeddah was incredible! My family and friends just adored her, and she was excellent in creating a fabulous ceremony that was SO US! We laughed, cried, and were blown away by how personal and fabulous it was. We couldn't recommend her more!

Rick & I could not have chosen a better person to guide our ceremony on our special day. She was always accessible to us in times of need and made us feel like a million bucks! My family and friends are still raving about her and the beautiful ceremony.

Jeddah was extremely thoughtful and helpful in the planning and execution of our wedding ceremony.

My husband and I just got married February 2018 and Jeddah truly gave us the ceremony of our dreams. We wanted something personal, intimate, loving— about the two of us as a couple... and she did just that! Our friends and family keep raving about the ceremony... and honestly, how often does that happen?! A few friends even asked us how long we’d known Jeddah as they just assumed she was a friend of the family because of the way she spoke about us. Jeddah is kind, patient and professional- and made the entire ceremony planning process so enjoyable! If you are looking for ceremony that celebrates your love story and you as a couple look no further! I’d recommend Jeddah to anyone!!!!

We had a wonderful experience working with Jeddah for our recent wedding! She was extremely thoughtful and professional, and spent the time to get to know us so that our ceremony was intimate and authentic to us and our guests. My husband and I had not put any thought into what we wanted/expected in our ceremony, and this is where Jeddah’s experience shines though. She provided several examples to guide us through the whole process that spanned a variety of religions and several non-religious examples, which we greatly appreciated. Somehow she was able to weave together our perfect combination of love, spirituality and humor!

From the initial moment that we were able to connect with Reverend Jeddah we knew we had found the person to officiate our wedding. She was tremendously patient throughout the planning process and makes you feel at ease especially with all the chaos that comes with wedding planning. Reverend Jeddah has an eloquent and calming presence that draws you in and she was able to capture everything that we envisioned for our ceremony. She was dedicated to making our ceremony special and Jeddah delivered. When your family and friends compliment you over and over on your ceremony you know it had to be memorable. Reverend Jeddah personalize our ceremony in a way that was unique, fun and emotional; she beautifully captured our love story. I am forever grateful to Jeddah for her warmth, guidance, thoughtfulness and patience.

Jeddah Vailakis exceeded our every expectation on our wedding day! We immediately felt a connection with Jeddah when we met at Tribeca's Kitchen back in January. When our original venue closed abruptly in, Jeddah was in touch with 3-4 venues with availability on our original date within 24 hours.We were touched and astonished by her support for us throughout the entire planning process. Warm, engaging, and a true wordsmith, Jeddah made sure that our ceremony was a reflection of our own words and emotions. Jeddah did a wonderful job orchestrating the energy of our ceremony - somber moments and memories of loved ones passed were followed by levity and words that brought smiles and laughter to our guests' faces. We would recommend Jeddah as an officiant in a heartbeat. We cannot wait to cross paths with her in the near future.

I seriously cannot say enough about Jeddah. She is one of those people that immediate makes you feel calm and safe. It’s rare to find someone that truly loves their job, but Jeddah really does. She has a glimmer in her eye when she talks about her clients, and you can tell she finds something to love about all of them. People are still talking about our ceremony. We had a weekend wedding at a kids’ summer camp, and our ceremony was outside by the lake. We told her what our vision was, and she executed it flawlessly. It was fun and serious and romantic and perfect. To me, the most important part of your wedding should be the ceremony itself. The party is a perk, but the ceremony is the reason for the celebration. It really set the tone for the rest of the night, and I wouldn’t have hired anyone else. Jeddah was recommended to me by my cousin, who is a wedding planner. She said that if I wasn’t getting married in a church, that there was only one officiant she would recommend, and that was Jeddah. She said there was never a dry eye in the house, and boy was she right. Some were sad tears, but most were happy tears. She helped guide us, but it was more of a gentle hand than a shove. We owe her so much thanks for making our special day even more special.

A wonderful personalized ceremony. Jeddah was patient and acommodating. She really took the time to understand our relationship and even bring my wife and I to a deeper level of love and commitment.

Jeddah was a dream to work with for our recent NYC wedding. She truly captured the romantic and genuine tone we were striving for in our wedding ceremony, eloquently telling our love story and helping us through the wedding process. She took the time to meet with my wife and I over multiple phone calls and in person meetings to understand our love - which she did an incredible job of translating to our wedding of 180 guests. I couldn't say more positive things about Jeddah and her process - would highly recommend her as an officiant and look forward to keeping in touch with her over the course of our marriage.

Jeddah was a pleasure to work with throughout our entire wedding planning (and having) experience! She was kind, had a wonderful personality, and took the time to get to know my wife and I. She was responsive to emails, provided materials that helped get the most out of us and build the ceremony, and she also provided feedback on our self-written vows, which was extremely helpful. She was great just before the ceremony, helping to center us, and then she was exceptional during the ceremony. Even as a few cell phones went off, she kept her cool. She was also great after the ceremony, wrapping things up and being a professional all the way through. We would highly recommend Jeddah to any other couple looking to work with a professional, kind, caring, and all around wonderful person! She will not let you down! - Joe & Beckie

Jeddah is the best!!! She has such a warm and friendly personality that calms us down during our wedding preparation process. She went above and beyond to understand our love story and incorporate them into our wedding ceremony. She added so many customized personal touches to our wedding ceremony and all of our guests are impressed by her and said this was the best wedding ceremony ever! I couldn't say enough thank you to Jeddah and I am so happy to have Jeddah be our officiant on our wedding day!

Stop looking for your minister, Jeddah is your one! For any couple interested in a ceremony routed in spiritual and love, Jeddah is the perfect match. Jeddah was a dream to work with from the initial meeting to giving specific guidance on how to structure the ceremony. Jeddah gave great recommendation on how to structure our wedding -- where we wanted a mix of scriptures and spirituality. Jeddah was great at providing ideas on readings as well as for our vows. All the items she shared were easy to reference and perfect to take to build the perfect ceremony for us. Additionally, Jeddah was very supportive during hectic times leading up to the wedding where she gave detailed ways to streamline the day. Jeddah was EXTREMELY calming days leading into the ceremony where I can't think of not having her by our side. I can't recommend Jeddah more and I would absolutely have her for future services (ie. spiritual counselor) . Guests continue to compliment the ceremony and were blown away at how things flowed. I very much encourage speaking, calling Jeddah in your research as she's absolutely amazing!

Jeddah is incredible! She made our ceremony more special and personal than we could have ever imagined. We got SO many comments about how touching the ceremony was and it was all thanks to Jeddah! We highly recommend her.

What an amazing woman! Jeddah was the perfect officiant for our special day. She listened to our needs and delivered exactly what we were hoping for. People raved about how sincere and touching our ceremony was, and we couldn't agree more! Such a wonderful experience!

Jeddah performed my wedding ceremony earlier this month to absolute perfection! I was raised Roman Catholic and my now husband identifies with various religions but that really doesn't matter - all we knew going into planning is that we wanted a meaningful ceremony for us that wasn't too long, and Jeddah exceeded our expectations! Not only was the ceremony extremely meaningful, she incorporated direct quotes from both the groom and I that we had no clue about. She genuinely took the time to get to know us and to ensure that she was delivering on our exact wants. Our guests raved about her and the ceremony overall, so I know it wasn't just us who enjoyed it (even though that's really all that matters!) Thank you , Jeddah! We will cherish for lifetimes to come!

We are so grateful we found Jeddah! What struck us about Jeddah from the moment we met was her genuine love for love. She clearly cares deeply about her work and the people she works with, and that authenticity shines through in her words. We really wanted to make our ceremony meaningful, and it was very important to us to find the right person to make that happen. From the start, Jeddah was a great listener with a true interest in our relationship, and we felt like we could trust her with our story. We are so happy with our decision; the ceremony ended up being one of the most special parts of our day for us. Our guests were also very moved, thanks to Jeddah. We thank Jeddah for being such an important part of our day, a warm and compassionate presence, and for helping us stay present to each other throughout the whole process. We will definitely be recommending Jeddah!

Words cannot describe how thankful we are that we found Jeddah! She was the missing link to our blended American Greek wedding and worked above and beyond to create a ceremony that was intimate and personal for me and my husband. Her guidance, spirituality and customization gave us a ceremony beyond our greatest expectations! She challenged us to think about our marriage, what it meant to us, and the reasons why we chose one another as life partners. I can recommend Jeddah without any hesitation. You'll be 200% satisfied with Jeddah as your officiant. She will always have a special place in our hearts.

Jeddah is amazing! She is the warmest person you will ever meet and exudes so much positive energy and love, it was such an honor to share our lives with Jeddah. From the moment we first talked to and met Jeddah, you could tell that she is not only knowledgeable but truly loves what she does. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Jeddah was especially helpful to both my husband and I in completing our vows and easing our nerves. The questionnaire she asked us to complete really enabled us to reflect on our relationship in a multifaceted way and truly helped us prepare emotionally and mentally for our wedding day. The ceremony she crafted was absolutely perfect - heartfelt, authentic, warm, engaging, and truly gave our guests an insight into our lives, our love and why we were getting married. It set the tone for our entire wedding night and so many of our guests commented on how wonderful the ceremony was, even other vendors! We cannot recommend or thank Jeddah enough!

Where can I even start? Jeddah has now married my husband and I, as well as my sister and brother in law. She is part of our family, and an integral part of why our ceremony was so beautiful. We wanted to have a non-religious ceremony that even religious friends and family could enjoy, and she did exactly that. Jeddah captured the essence of my relationship with my husband, and expressed it beautifully to our guests. She was helpful with reading and ritual selections, and was there every step of the way. We 110% recommend using Jeddah to officiate your ceremony.

My wife and I loved working with Jeddah. She is sweet, caring, and very thoughtful. She made our ceremony very heartfelt and pleasant. She surprised us with the depth of her knowledge of cultural nuances, something that was a very nice addition to our ceremony.

Jeddah was a dream to work with. Shs helped us to create the most beautiful ceremony that we will remember so fondly for the rest of our lives.

I must admit, I had put all of my time and attention into finding a venue, photographer, DJ, the perfect dress, hair and makeup artist etc., and had given very little thought about who would officiate our wedding (embarrassing but true!). Less than six weeks before our wedding I was scrambling to find someone. I thank my lucky stars that I came across Jeddah's name and that she was available! We had phone calls with a few different officiants but as soon as I spoke with Jeddah I knew it was she was who I wanted to marry us. When we met her person, it only affirmed my initial feeling. She exudes warmth and love, and has a great sense of humor as well! From that meeting forward my priorities shifted. After speaking at length with her and answering questions from an absolutely brilliant questionnaire she created, both my husband and I were able to articulate with what was most important to us on our wedding day. She really listened to what we wanted and created a beautiful ceremony that was far beyond our expectations. Our guests were also truly moved by how heartfelt and genuine our ceremony was. I've lost count of how many of them have told me how beautiful and enjoyable it was. They were clearly enamored with her as well! We can not recommend Jeddah highly enough. The amount of care and attention she will put into your ceremony is beyond what you can even imagine! She's absolutely wonderful and a joy to work with! In closing I'd like to share the email I sent to Jeddah a few days after our wedding: Dear Jeddah, Thank you so much for making our wedding ceremony so very special! Our guests made a point to tell us just how much they enjoyed, and were truly moved by our Ceremony. How heartfelt and genuine it was. And how wonderful you were! We are so grateful to you for putting so much care and attention in preparing for, and helping us to prepare for it. The whole experience was really special for us. You brought such a beautiful combination of warmth, tenderness, humor, and intimacy to it that was truly magical! We are so happy that we found you and can't recommend you enough! I will send pictures of the ceremony when we get them. Sending a big hug and much love, Emily and William
