Whew! Here we go, going to try not to get emotional myself while writing this review.
Jen was the missing piece to our elopement puzzle. My now husband and I decided to elope in G...rand Teton NP just the two of us. An officiant was the last thing we needed in our planning process. For weeks, we couldn’t get an answer from anyone. One night, getting close to our elopement date, my friend posted in a FB group. Jen answered and thank gosh she did. We reached out to her via email and 5 mins later she responded with something like “yes I will officiate your wedding and yes I will travel”. From that moment forward we were in constant communication. She would reach out to me to check in/ help with planning and when I had a question, she would respond within two minutes. Her process of crafting a ceremony begins with a questionnaire that is sent to the bride and groom separately (pro tip: after the wedding we read each other's responses to those questions ((sob!)) ). Then she asked us what, if anything, we would like included. We chose the civil ceremony but she will craft to whatever you would like. Over the next few weeks before the wedding my husband and I became good friends with Jen. Fast forward to our wedding day, the moment we saw Jen it felt like our bestie had arrived to be there with us on our wedding day. She embraced us with big hugs. We were obviously nervous but as soon as Jen got there we felt at ease. The evening started with Jen cheering us on as we got our photos. Then it was time for the ceremony. She found the perfect spot. Had a playlist going to set the mood. Had tissues ready. Organized everything. Made quick friends with our photographer. Even brought things to add to our flat lays! As the sun was setting, Jen delivered the most beautifully crafted ceremony. It told our story. It made us giggle. It made us reflect. It made us cry. It made us take a deep breath. All before “I do”. Jen brought our story to life, her words flowed through us, and we listened to every single one she said. It was the best ceremony I had ever heard and it was ours. It was the best because it was unique, not formal (as requested by us), and smart writing. We get to keep the ceremony, because it was handwritten by Jen in a personalized ceremony book. How cool is that! We all stuck around a celebrated for a bit before parting ways. Later, she provided us with honeymoon recommendations for the rest of the week!!! SO, if you are reading this review, I hope what you get out of it is that you absolutely can not do your wedding day without Jen as your officiant. Jen is incredibly talented at writing ceremony scripts. She is must for your wedding day 🤍
Jen- thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you for being a part of our story. You will always have a friend in us. We love you.
