Jennifer is a remarkable person and a wonderful officiant. She beautifully captured our story, making our ceremony heartfelt and personal. We couldn't have asked for a better person to officiate our special day.
The process started with a meet and greet, and then an extensive questionnaire. Jennifer was very responsive, communicative, and encouraging with our responses.
We had young children as our flower girls and ring bearers, and they were totally entranced along with the rest of our guests. Lots of ugly crying.
Thank you to Jennifer for what was a truly unforgettable ceremony! It was so wonderful to hear how you pulled our story together. We had several friends and family members tell us after that it was fantastic and so special to be able to hear all about how we got to our big day. We even had people asking how long we had known our officiant since it was like having an old friend talk about us. Jennifer's work made this momentous occasion even more wonderful than we could have imagined. We are so happy that we had her incredible presence on our wedding day!
When I say that Jennifer Luu was the absolute perfect choice for us, I truly mean it with all my heart. My wife and I got married recently Sep 8th 2024 (Woo!) and we wanted to have our celebration with a renaissance theming, from the outfits ,to the music, and yes, to the ceremony itself. We didn't really know how to go about this, but during our meeting with Jennifer, all we had to do was say what the theme was and her imagination was already shooting off idea after idea, and each of them were so perfect that we practically chose each one of them. Her ability to adapt and create an entire mood according to the couple that she is officiating for is impeccable. From her very first words spoken to begin the ceremony, she established that this wedding was going to be fun and unique. As the groom, I'm kind of an emotional guy. Which she could see that as soon as I walked down the aisle. She wasted no time in encouraging me and even giving me pieces of advice to make the best of it, even if I was crying my eyes out in expectation of seeing my bride walking down the aisle to stand beside me. All in all, she took what little prompts that we were able to give and she ran with it and made such a memorable and special moment that we will always share when we look back on our wedding day. I could not recommend her services enough. To Jennifer - Thank you so much for being so flexible and going above and beyond for us. We will always remember how awesome you made our special day!
Any questions?
Jennifer did a great job capturing our story and retelling it with humor and personality. She managed the ceremony and commanded the crowd. She was engaging and was the absolute perfect choice for me and my wife! We got so many compliments afterwards as well! Thanks Jennifer!!
Jenny was an amazing officiant and we truly could not have asked for a better, more heartwarming ceremony. We truly feel that our wedding day was made perfect by her incredible storytelling and kind words. She listened to all inputs, handled the logistics of the ceremony well, and knew the wedding process with extreme familiarity. I could not recommend her enough - she is amazing!
Jennifer was amazing! We met with her and instantly clicked and knew we wanted her to officiate our wedding. When we went to book with her, she already had bride scheduled for our date. I was devastated. I went back to the Knot to find another officiant, and none stood out like she did. I didn't want a "cut and paste" and "fill in the blank" ceremony.
My husband and I have a truly unique story and I didn't feel that anyone else I had contacted would convey to story and sentiment I was looking for in our ceremony.
So I called Jennifer back.. "where's the other bride getting married? "Oh Magnolia? Me too! What time is other's brides ceremony?" "5:30.. ok let me get back to you"
We ended up moving our ceremony time up to 2:30 and Jennifer agreed to double book as our venues we so close.
It turned out to be the best decision. Many guests were asking how we knew Jennifer or found her as she told our story as if she had written it herself.
It was sweet, emotional, funny and was just a one of a kind blessing. She truly understood the tone we were going for - not too serious, lots of humor, Star Wars references for the hubs and of course the love we share for eachother.
If i had to go back and do it all again I would, because it was absolutely perfect!
Jennifer did an INCREDIBLE job officiating our wedding! Not only did she stay in communication throughout the entire planning process, but she seamlessly wove my husband and my’s love story into the most beautiful, personalized ceremony speech. So many of our guests told us that it was the best wedding speech they have ever heard and asked us how we knew her after the wedding because she did such a fantastic job. She gave us exactly what we wanted and more from an officiant and allowed us to have a special, personalized ceremony without putting pressure on one of our loved ones to do it. Hiring her to be our officiant was one of the best choices we made for our wedding day and I would make the choice again in a heartbeat! Thank you so much Jennifer for helping make our wedding day so magical and special!
We absolutely loved working with Jennifer. She did such an amazing job and we got so many compliments about how sincere and personal our ceremony was. She was so professional and easy to work with. Absolutely amazing job
If you have to hire an officiant, look no further! Her attention to detail and suggestions on how to make our wedding personal were extremely helpful. Thanks Jennifer!
Jennifer did such a fantastic job. She is the absolute best wedding officiant I have ever seen or used. She made it extremely easy to work with her and allowed for questions and really worked with My wife and me. She deserves all the recognition. Jennifer is one of the most unique wedding officiants I have worked with. She received nothing but high compliments from our guests and they truly enjoyed the ceremony due to Jennifer being able to tell our love story so easily.
Jennifer did an incredible job with our ceremony. Her process was seamless and gives her the tools needed to make an personal and unique wedding ceremony. She is extremely easy to work with and she makes you feel like you guys have been friends for years! We got soo many compliments from our guests who loved our ceremony, as did we! I would 100% recommend Jennifer to anyone!
She was amazing, she helped me and my husband finally tie the knot. Very professional and sweet! Book with her you wont regret it! Thank you again
Jennifer was excellent! She was very professional and helped bring our love story to life. She’s attentive to detail and captures the intimacy between couples.
We would 110% recommend Jennifer to any couples out there that is still looking for an officiant. Personally, we were looking for someone that was bilingual in both Viet/Eng and it was very difficult since we were not religious. Jennifer heard our wishes and came up with the great idea to print a shorter version of her script so our families can read along during the ceremony. We also chose to do a ring blessing which all of our guests loved and kept the ceremony interactive. Finally, we are not a cheesy couple and did not want to write personal vows. Instead, we chose to answer a set of questions Jennifer provided us and we will find out what each partner said on the big day. WOW DID I TEAR UP. Jennifer was able to capture our love so eloquently and made the ceremony so memorable.
We are so happy we found Jennifer to officiate our wedding! She was so supportive and responsive from the very start and really took our preference and requests to heart when curating the ceremony. She is a true professional who helped us make sure we had all our bases covered before the ceremony and made sure everything went on without a hitch on the day. The ceremony itself was so heartfelt and something we will never forget. Thank you so much Reverend Luu!
Jennifer has such a calm, confident, and kind presence about her- I knew after our first talk on the phone that she would be a great fit for my partner and I.
We really loved her process because it produced a ceremony that was centered around not only love as this beautiful entity to celebrate, but more importantly the story of love between my husband and I.
She'll have you fill out a document with questions about yourself and your partner, and it is more than worth it to take some great time and thought with those questions. She'll tie your story together beautifully so that your ceremony is specifically about the two of you.
If you're looking for a ceremony that is extra special and personal then she is a wonderful person who can make that happen. We are so grateful to her for making our ceremony as special as it turned out to be.
Jennifer made our wedding ceremony so memorable and perfect. Although we didn’t know her before hiring her to officiate our wedding, so many guests asked how we knew her because her remarks were so personal and individualized to our story. She is also highly experienced with leading a wedding rehearsal and giving little tips about where to look, how to stand, etc. that made my husband and I feel so much more confident at our ceremony. She was very clear throughout the planning process for the ceremony and helped us think of little touches we wouldn’t have thought of ourselves (such as paying homage to deceased family members). She respected our vision for our mixed religious and non-religious ceremony and listened to our wishes every step of the way. We can’t recommend her enough!!!!
Our wedding day was an absolute whirlwind of love, emotions, and joy, and we owe a significant part of its magic to Jenn. From the moment we met them, we knew we had found someone truly special who would create a ceremony that perfectly captured our love story. They not only made our wedding feel personal and unique but also injected it with a delightful dose of humor.
Jennifer took the time to get to know us as a couple, and it showed in the heartfelt storytelling during the ceremony. They weaved our journey together into a narrative that had everyone laughing, crying, and cheering. It felt as though they had known us for years and had a genuine connection with us. What sets Jen apart was her ability to strike the perfect balance between sentimentality and lightheartedness. They expertly incorporated funny anecdotes and inside jokes into the ceremony, creating moments of genuine laughter and mirth. It was a refreshing and unexpected twist that made our wedding ceremony truly memorable. Throughout the ceremony, our officiant's delivery was impeccable. They spoke with warmth, charisma, and an infectious enthusiasm that captivated everyone in attendance. They had a natural knack for engaging the audience and making them feel like active participants in our love story. Their words resonated with us and our guests, making the entire ceremony an intimate and unforgettable experience. Our officiant's attention to detail was evident in their personalized touches. They took the time to learn about our values and shared experiences, and they seamlessly integrated those elements into the ceremony. It was as if they had captured the essence of our relationship and translated it into a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony that celebrated who we are as a couple. They were professional, organized, and responsive, ensuring that every detail was taken care of and that our ceremony unfolded flawlessly. If you're searching for a wedding officiant who can transform your love story into a personalized, special, and hilariously funny ceremony, look no further. Jennifer has an incredible talent for making every moment feel significant, joyful, and utterly unforgettable. They will leave you and your guests with cherished memories that will last a lifetime. We are eternally grateful for the magic brought to our wedding day!
Jennifer was exactly what we were looking for in our wedding officiant. During our get-to-know-you meeting with Jennifer, she helped guide us with specific questions and ideas for the flow of the ceremony that we hadn't though of or about. After that first meeting with Jennifer, we were so grateful that we were working with her. She took our love story, and created a ceremony that every one at the wedding enjoyed. I would recommend her to anyone.
Jennifer is an amazing person, and was welcoming and comforting on our crazy day. It was so relieving seeing how composed and ready to go she was on the day. Before the wedding, it was not a problem at all to get a hold of her for any questions. Jennifer worked with our coordinator smoothly and was aware of everything that was going on, which was another relief that day.
We picked the story option, and she absolutely did amazing. It was fantastic, and people were talking about the story she told all night. Absolutely stellar performance and I can't recommend her enough. Well worth what we paid, you are doing a disservice not booking her
Jennifer was a fantastic officiant! She has you hold hands and look at each other as she recounts your relationship (from questions the couple answers). It's really intense and beautiful. She has such a calm but powerful presence as an officiant!
We got married in Jan. 2023 and had a wonderful experience working with Jennifer as our officiant. We knew we wanted a short but personal, and non-religious ceremony – all of which are apparently not all that common in Texas! A friend recommended Jennifer to us after we had met with a few other officiants that didn’t vibe with us, and wow, she exceeded our expectations!
We appreciated her guidance explaining her methodology for crafting ceremonies. She involved us in the process – collecting information about us as individuals, as partners, and our marriage. The ceremony she wrote was extremely personal and touching, even that multiple guests ask us how long we had known Jennifer, assuming that she had been a long time friend. She is extremely personable, which helped us feel more comfortable standing in front of a room full of people at the ceremony. She is an amazing writer, orator --we couldn’t imagine anyone else officiating the wedding for us!
Jennifer married us on 9/25/2022. She was so amazing and we loved how she was able to share our love story to family and friends. She’s is very attentive and would recommend her to any couple!
I’m not even sure where to begin with this review. Working with Jennifer during our wedding process was amazing. If it weren’t for her I don’t think we would have been able to have the wedding of our dreams, but thanks to her painstaking work on the ceremony and open communication with us, our wedding was dreamy to say the least.
My husband and I actually met Jennifer at another wedding and knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that we needed her to officiate our wedding as well. From the moment we reached out, Jennifer was responsive, professional and accommodating. She helped us to plan and implement a ceremony that was completely aligned with our values. We worked really hard to come up with a ceremony that did not emphasize gender roles, perpetuate traditions rooted in the patriarchy or have any religious components. As you can imagine, this was challenging but what was even more challenging was to do all the above while still having a ceremony that felt sentimental, specula and ceremonious. Jennifer did all of this and more. We were approached by older, more conservative, religious wedding guests who told us it was the best wedding ceremony they’d ever seen. We were also approached by guests who don’t even believe in marriage and they said the same thing. That just goes to show you the way that Jennifer was able to construct a ceremony that was so inclusive and resonated so well with all our diverse guests while also keeping our values at the forefront of her mind. Hire Jennifer! You won’t regret it!!!
Jennifer Luu is an incredibly talented and meticulously organized officiant and my wife and I are so happy we found her for our special day! Jennifer has a proven process as she extracted information from us that was then woven into a whimsical story that our guests have not stopped talking about! Our story was particularly important to so many of our guests some who had only just then met the significant other for the first time due to life-changing limitations of the pandemic. Jennifer is highly skilled and effective so sit back, comply with her simple homework, and let the magic happen! She is worth every penny and more for the experience that was created during our wedding.
Mrs. Jennifer made our day more magical than we could have ever imagined. Just listening to her recap our love story from the beginning to the end made us fall in love all over again.
BOOK JENNIFER NOW!
I’ll try to make this brief since you’re probably busy with wedding planning. If you’re reading this, I imagine you are taking the time to find an officiant that fits your needs and of course, will make your day even more special.
When I stumbled across Jennifer’s profile/website, I immediately stopped looking; She was the one! Our vows were AMAZING! So many of our guests asked about her, and with good reason.
If you’re looking to set the tone for a super special evening with friends and family, contact her now. We had so so much fun and our guests had many laughs throughout the ceremony. If this starts to read like a love letter, well, it basically is!
People always talk about venues, DJ/photo, florals, etc but a HUGE part of your day is your officiant. Don’t skimp on this! Jennifer made us both feel at ease and helped guide us along the way. Admittedly, we had no clue what we were doing in the beginning. After a meet and greet and questionnaire, Jennifer will start working on crafting your love story. Each one is personalized and I couldn’t believe how well written it was. Lovely, beautiful, funny, sentimental, etc…
I could go on and on — for the TLDR crowd:
Contact her now - I promise your day will be better than you could have ever imagined!!
If Jennifer asks how you came to find her, tell her you wanted to see what all the hype was about after reading Christine’s review. Trust me, it’s real! :)
Christine T. (7/23/22 Wedding)
Jennifer absolutely made the wedding. She took a little bit of each of our experiences to create one cohesive story of my wife’s and I’s relationship. She was able to create something so beautiful out of a short interview with us both that I will never forget and will brag about for the rest of my life.
Jennifer went above and beyond every step of the way. She is the reason we had such a beautiful and intimate ceremony. I am in awe of the way she captured our story and told it so eloquently for us. I highly recommend anyone looking for an officiant to keep Jennifer in mind!
She was very sweet and professional, plus she made our beach wedding super easy and knew exactly what we were looking for! We highly recommend booking her, she is awesome!
We used Jennifer on our special day and she made it extra special. She was very detail oriented. She made sure that she had all the details before the day of our wedding - including the right pronunciation of my name 😊. On that day, she was there on time and everyone loved her service. We are so glad that we used her as our officiant.
Jennifer is an experienced, professional, intentional officiant. She is a true custom ceremony officiant. Not semi-custom, not cookie cutter. She considers many items (second wedding, families blending, blessing the rings, what type of vows we are comfortable saying, uniting through candle/sand/glass, etc.) to create a ceremony that is memorable and meaningful. With her experience she makes suggestions and even goes so far to coordinate her outfit (not so she matches, but so she fits in and looks right for the pictures). We are so glad we came across the many other couples who used her and raved about her.
Jennifer's process is fabulous! Our ceremony was unique, memorable, and made our day so very tailored to us. I cannot express just how effortless it was to work with her and how calming and warm her presence is. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Jennifer helped make our wedding absolutely beautiful. She put together a unique ceremony that reflected our truest selves, and she told our story perfectly. She was a dream to work with too. She made the whole process incredibly easy and is a very comfortable person to talk with. After the ceremony, everyone was talking about beautiful it was. Many of the guests even said it was the best wedding ceremony they’ve been to! :)
If I had to do it all again, I’d go with Jennifer in a heartbeat. 12/10
I met Jennifer almost 3 years ago at my brother’s wedding. She made me smile, laugh, and cry during the ceremony all at once! Naturally, when I started planning our wedding, I knew I really wanted to have Jennifer do our ceremony. She has such a unique style and she’s such a great storyteller! She was also able to incorporate a few traditions that were important to us. She makes sure that the ceremony is everything you want it to be. We got comments from our guests that the ceremony went by so fast because they were so immersed in it. Jennifer was very professional and made everything so easy! Thank you for making our ceremony a memorable one for us!
Jennifer was such an amazing officiant! She was well organized, professional, funny, prompt, and everything you would want in an officiant. She exceeded our expectations. She is easy to work with and does a phenomenal job of telling your love story. We would recommend her to anyone that is looking for an officiant! You will not be disappointed!!
Jennifer Luu was our officiant choice, there were no others. She is very courteous, punctual, and professional. During our ceremony, she captured our love story very well, from beginning to end and sharing all the love in between. Everyone at our ceremony loved her speech. Jennifer will meet with you to get a feel of you as a couple, ask questions and fill out a questionnaire to get your background, history and emotions of your relationship. Because of Covid, we had to reschedule 2 times and Jennifer was more than accommodating in every way, never charging a fee and understands that life can have messy situations. She will also mail off the marriage license for you at the end. Highly recommend her as an officiant, one of the best in Houston, TX!
We selected Jennifer due to her high reviews on WeddingWire, as well as her professional profile presentation, humor, and the exciting prospect of a unique "storytelling" type of ceremony.
We are thrilled to report that Jennifer exceeded expectations in every regard. She was always willing to be flexible and patient with us as plans changed a few times, and even jumped on a last minute Zoom call or two. She had numerous personal questions for each of us about how we met, the road to now, etc., patiently waited for our answers, and wove them into a beautiful story. I can't tell if it was 15 minutes or 30 minutes, but it swept through our lives up to meeting each other, our first date, our first year, my proposal, through (the totally not stressful...) wedding planning, and right up to the wedding itself. There were big smiles, big laughs, and tear-jerking moments. We were both smiling and crying the whole time of course. She was prepared in every way we could or couldn't imagine; she has plans for unique ideas like a hand fastening ceremony (which we ended up doing--beautiful!), passing the wedding bands around the guests during the ceremony, etc. She can do religious or non-religious or anything in between. She is inclusive to everyone! We had zero issues what-so-ever. In a stressful time of planning such a complex and multi-faceted event, it was so nice to be able to have another person that we simply didn't have to worry about. If you can't tell by now, we can't speak highly enough to Jennifer's professionalism, organization, communication, work performance, and skill at expertly crafting such a pivotal moment that we'll never forget. Jennifer, thank you so much for helping us achieve our perfect day!
I am a wedding coordinator of over 15 years and one of my couples recently hired Jennifer as their officiant. Within minutes of meeting her I could tell she was a true professional and that I had nothing to worry about. She was funny and kind and put them at ease and delivered a beautiful ceremony. They did spend more than initially planned when booking her, but they told me she was worth it, and I 100% agree!!
Rev. Jennifer Luu was an absolute joy to work with! We ended up delaying our wedding a year due to COVID and she was more than happy to accommodate us. She provided a detailed questionnaire to me and my husband and crafted the most beautiful story from our answers. We were blown away by her words, and our guests are still talking about what a wonderful, personalized ceremony she conducted. It was without a doubt one of the best parts of our wedding. She gave us examples of vows, readings, etc. to choose from and allowed us to structure our ceremony exactly the way we wanted. We had a non-denominational secular wedding and it was not a problem whatsoever. I would recommend Jennifer a million times over. She is professional, kind, detail-oriented, experienced, and an amazing writer and speaker to boot!
Jennifer did a great job officiating our wedding. She was very communicative, gave us the option to add or subtract things from our ceremony even at the last minute, and told our entire dating timeline. It poured during our ceremony and she adapted very easily to the situation. I would definitely recommend Jennifer for any couple looking for an officiant.
This beautiful wedding was planned from the UK and and held in Galveston, Texas. There were detailed video chats and emails revealing how the bride and groom met and how their love developed. Jennifer Luu was perfection in her reading of the bride and groom's story and vows to each other. She was calm, respectful and joyous. The married couple and guests loved the service! This review is from mother of the bride.
One of the most important and best decisions we made at our wedding in Galveston in July 2021 was to have Jennifer Luu officiate. It was an emotional, personal and joyful ceremony that felt authentic and just like us. Jennifer takes your love story and turns it into a beautiful tale for your guests. It was so memorable, but not overdone. Just perfect. Most of my family cried and keep talking about it. The whole process from meeting to ceremony was straight forward, clear and fun. Totally recommend Jennifer if you want the most precious 30 minutes of your wedding to be one of the most memorable of the day!
Jennifer did a wonderful job officiating our wedding. I could not be more pleased! I also over heard my guest speaking about what a great job she did. Her speech was personal, sounded authentic and it was not too short but not too long. Just right.
Jennifer was an absolute lucky find! Our officiant could no longer come less than 2 weeks away from our wedding so we searched the web and we came across Jennifer! Our wedding was 7/17/21, we had to postpone our 2020 wedding due to the pandemic, and we could not have found a better officiant for our special day! She was professional, responsive and very clear on what she needed from us every step of the way. The ceremony ended up being one of my favorite parts of the night, Jennifer told our love story in such a beautiful way, included all of our traditional requests, and made it truly an unforgettable moment! She also suggested a "blessing of the rings" from our ceremony guests, and our crowd loved it - it was a great way to make our guests feel included in our special day. She was 10/10 phenomenal!
When my now wife and I were deciding on the different elements of our wedding, back in early 2020, we didn't have a minister or officiant in mind who we wanted to actually marry us. Our venue (the House Estate, which we would also strongly recommend) provided a few names, but after contacting them, they were either busy on our date, or they just didn't really speak to us. I remember we contacted one guy who legit said, "I do tons of weddings, so I'll forget your ceremony tomorrow, but you'll remember it forever." This did not inspire confidence, so we looked to the internet to give us a solution to our problem.
Among a thousand officiants with a thousand reviews, we found Jennifer and her customized wedding experience. We liked what we saw so we scheduled a time to meet with her and talk. She won us over in that first meeting and we never looked back. We each filled out her questionnaire and sent it in, excited for our wedding scheduled for March 28th, 2020. Well I'm sure you all know how that went. About 2 weeks before our wedding date, COVID-19 came in and ruined the party. We still wanted to be officially married on our original date, even though the wedding of our dreams had to be rescheduled (twice), and Jennifer did a great job at accommodating us. She legally married us in a 30 second ceremony in a parking lot by her house, and then we all just played the waiting game until we could have the "real" wedding.
It took almost a full year before we could finally have the wedding we planned, but when we did, Jennifer was ready. My wife and I had forgotten everything we'd sent her in the questionnaire, and I wondered if we would get as emotionally resonant a ceremony as we'd hoped for. Well let me tell y'all, Jennifer KILLED it. I only wish that I had tissues up there with me during the ceremony because as Jennifer took us, and all of our guests, through me and my wife's story, all the emotions you'd hope for on your wedding day just poured out.
Jennifer knows how to tell a story, and I would argue that that is exactly what you should want out of your wedding officiant. I have a whole new standard for wedding ceremonies now. The customizability of her ceremonies go beyond just your specific story too, she can make it as religious or as secular as you want, you can include any readings, poems, songs, whatever. I honestly don't know why you'd ever pick anyone else. If you are looking for a minister to marry you (which I'm assuming you are if you're reading this review), then congratulations, your search is over. Call Jennifer, and check that box off the list.
The last thing I'll say is that I know she's more expensive than your generic minister. When you're comparing $100 preachers to Jennifer, you might think she seems too expensive, but the whole wedding planning process involves an assessment of what you truly value on your special day - where to make cuts and where to splurge. If you're spending $1000 on cake, liquor, or linens, I'd ask that you reassess how valuable that extra few hundred on cake is versus the difference in the quality of ceremony you could get. For my wife and I, it was an easy choice, spend the money on a great officiant over a great cake. If we could do it all again, we'd pay double what Jennifer charged, because 10 years from now, when we're looking back, no one will be talking about the food, the alcohol, or the linens. They will be talking about our ceremony and the incredible officiant who told our story.
Jennifer did absolutely amazing!!! We asked her to share our story in a touching, yet humorous manner, which is exactly what she did. We had some of our wedding party ask us how we knew her because of how well she was able to speak to us. She added an extra personal touch to our ceremony. I would recommend her 100 times over!
We had the pleasure of reverend Luu perform our ceremony. She was a perfect fit with us. Our relationship mostly developed away from family and friends due to living in another state. Jennifer told our story in a way that made everyone feel like they had lived through it with us, which was so meaningful. She brought humor, love, and such detail to our ceremony, it was OUR story not a ceremony heard 1000 times before. We had so many compliments after it from all the guest. Many people stated it was the most meaningful ceremony they had been to. When we first talked to Jennifer we expressed the importance of the ceremony and that we wanted it to have its moment cause really that is what the day is about.. becoming husband and wife. She delivered exactly what we asked for, I could not be happier with I our choice in having her marry us!!!!!
Jennifer was responsive, flexible, and personable. We loved having her as our officiant! And highly recommend her.
We planned our wedding during COVID. About a month and a half before our wedding we didn't have an officiant yet because we had not yet decided if we were going to postpone. Thankfully, Jennifer was still available and worked with us during that last month to plan the perfect ceremony. We met with her virtually and loved her energy. She was on time and helpful at our wedding rehearsal.
The ceremony itself was exactly what we wanted! Our guests loved hearing the story about us as a couple, and the ceremony was engaging for all in attendance. We have already received so many compliments about how amazing the ceremony was. I would choose Jennifer as our officiate over and over again. Thank you!!!
We hired Jennifer on a last minute basis. We had discovered and been attracted to her website a few months back...it was always in the back of our minds, and when we finally decided to pull the trigger in the midst of all this COVID madness, she came through big time! She was incredibly accommodating...flexible...and gave us exactly what we wanted.
We had a video call to make sure we were all on the same page, and then we filled out our questionaires separately at the advice of Jennifer. The story was spectacular...she weaved in both of our thoughts & words....and we laughed and cried at the sweetness of surprise. Jennifer expertly weaved in our marriage plus a blended family ceremony...exactly what we wanted. We would not hesitate to recommend Jennifer to ANYONE wanting a meaningful, emotional ceremonial experience.
Jennifer Luu was professional and punctual. She did a miraculous job of captivating and mesmerizing my family and friends as she articulated the Fairytale love story of my husband and I. Which was funny and sweet, but will definitely have you and your love ones eyes watering. She definitely made it a day that I will never forget and I highly recommend her.
Jennifer worked so well with our last minute ceremony that we had to figure out in the pandemic. She was on time and performed effortlessly in the middle of the crazy Texas heat. Her speech was so beautiful and fit perfectly to who me and my husband are. I would have thought she knew us personally. She gave great advice for our future and spoke about us as though our marriage was as special as it felt to us. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. I would recommend Jennifer to everyone getting married. I plan on framing her words to us to always remember.
If you are considering a non-traditional wedding, you should definitely consider Jennifer Luu to officiate the wedding. We really had no idea how to find an officiant for our wedding, but we knew that we wanted something more non-traditional. After lots of Google searches we came across Jennifer Luu and some videos of her work and we were instantly intrigued. We had a very nice phone conversation to make sure that she would be a good fit for us and we knew right away that we wanted Jennifer to be part of our team. Jennifer Luu is an amazing storyteller. She interviewed us separately and then used the results to personalize our wedding ceremony. She also helped us to involve our loved ones in the ceremony with a blessing of the rings, community vows and an exchanging of peace – we didn’t know what to expect with this last one, but the room erupted as people turned to one another to show a sign of peace to eachother with a hand shake or a hug. It was INCREDIBLE. Jennifer made the ceremony so special for us and we absolutely loved listening to her share our story with our families and friends. Months later and our friends and family are still raving about the ceremony – many have never experienced such a ceremony and absolutely loved how unique and personal it was. Thank you Jennifer for making our wedding so memorable and so personal – we can’t wait for the video so that we can relive that ceremony all over again!
Jennifer completely set the tone for our day. We have had multiple people tell us how moving and beautiful the ceremony was. We felt like our guests left knowing us better and more connected with us as a couple. She was easy to work with and did a fantastic job. We were stressed about our wedding and she was so calm and professional. Couldn’t have asked for a better officiant! Our venue coordinator, make up artist, and dj even asked where we had found her because she was so good! We gladly passed on her info to them.
We knew that we wanted a memorable ceremony, but we didn't know how to do it ourselves. Who better to give the ceremony task to than someone who is not just an officiant, but a writer? At first glance you might wonder how this small woman with a somewhat squeaky voice will carry out the ceremony, but Jennifer did it very well. Her fee is a bit more than other officiants, and it was worth every penny.
It's important to know that what you will get from Jennifer relies on what you give to her. If you're not ready to tell or write to her about your relationship, then you might not get the glorious story that you hope for ;). She will ask you questions and you should be generous with providing information. She will use your words to weave a story for your guests.
On the big day, Jennifer showed up early, checked with me about little details, and gave me space when I needed it. She was a professional who knew what she was doing, and she didn't need any instructions. She was articulate and read every word loudly, clearly, and confidently in the large room. Before the wedding I thought that I would remember the reception and the one-on-one interactions the most, but it was definitely the ceremony that was the highlight of my experience. For many guests, it was also a delightful part of their experience! Our wedding took place in a beautiful venue which was made even more beautiful by the words spoken there. Thank you, Jennifer.
We pretty much knew we wanted Jennifer to officiate us from reading reviews, and then she was even recommended to us by a couple of vendors. I reached out to her, and Jennifer responded quickly. We set up a meeting, and my now husband and I met her. She was very informative in her process, and we had the timeline scheduled out pretty much from the first meeting. It was a done deal for us once we met her. We all instantly connected and knew she would be the best officiant for us when our special day came. I would have to say hands down our ceremony was the best part of the entire day. She captured me and my husband's personality and story perfectly. We had so many people come up to us complimenting how Jennifer captured us so well that they thought she had been in our lives from the beginning. I can't thank Jennifer enough for how special she made our day. Every review I've read and along with my review is an understatement of how amazing it was to have Jennifer officiate our wedding.
Jennifer was one of the best parts of our wedding. My husband and I aren't very religious so we wanted to find a way to make the ceremony more meaningful to us. Jennifer did this flawlessly. She told the story of our relationship and it allowed our guests to feel like they were a part of our story. Our wedding was in April and I still have guests telling me how much they loved our ceremony. Jennifer has great ideas for how to make the ceremony unique to your relationship. She was so easy to work with and always easy to communicate with.
Jennifer was the best part of our ceremony after having our dog in the wedding. She gave us clear instruction on what we needed to do during the ceremony like (Don't look at her page) and tips on making a seamless ceremony. She was a wonderful person to have marry us. I was hesitant on the money at first as everything wedding related is expensive but really she was worth every penny spent. We could not have asked for anyone better. HIRE HER!
Jennifer was spectacular! Her ability to connect with us and understand our story, then communicate it to all of our family and friends was incredible. We had dozens of our guests comment on how special her ceremony made the experience for them,
From the first moment we met Jennifer, we felt at ease. She was so professional, accommodating, and sincere. She took time to get to know my clients and understand them as a couple - which is so unbelievably important.
Thank you, Jennifer for being so awesome throughout the entire planning process. You truly exceeded our expectations.
Highly recommend🖤
Jennifer officiated our wedding at The Dunlavy in Houston a few days ago.
The ceremony was outstanding. Jennifer told a wonderfully moving rendition of our story that captivated us and the congregation. Pretty much every one of our 100 guests commented that the ceremony was the most moving and beautiful that they had ever attended.
Working with Jennifer was a joy. We met and discussed what we wanted and what we did not, then worked on the questions that she sent us… “our homework”…. and the result on the day was absolutely unbelievable.
If you want a truly memorable, uniquely personal wedding, you have to have Jennifer as your officiant. We cannot recommend her highly enough.
Let me start off by saying that my wedding day was easily the best day of my life. From ceremony to reception, everything went so smoothly and beautifully.
I had chosen Jennifer to officiate our wedding since I already knew she was the best in the industry. I’m a wedding photographer here in Houston who’s been to countless weddings and I’ve seen every kind of officiant out there. Jennifer is by far the sweetest, most professional and unique person I’ve had the honor of meeting.
Her service is VERY personal to the couple and holds the attention of your guests. I married the love of my life outside in August in Texas and it was HOT to say the least. Every single guest we talked to said they didn’t even notice the sweat pouring down their faces since the ceremony was the most engaging they’ve ever seen. Friends and family know you guys as a couple, but being able to share how we met and transitioned to the place we are today was a really cool thing to share.
She makes you feel so comfortable and special throughout the entire process. I could pick up the phone and call her anytime with questions and she always answered and helped me without question. She’s extremely flexible and selfless.
STOP YOUR SEARCH HERE if you want a badass officiant for your wedding. She’s worth every penny and brings so much to the table. Jennifer isn’t just an officiant; she’s a storyteller.
Jennifer did an amazing job officiating our wedding! She told our story beautifully, to the point that guests were asking how long she'd known us. She included the details that really describe our relationship and made us completely at ease with the process.
Jennifer is amazing! She made such an incredible and memorable ceremony that we will never forget. Her ability to incorporate our love story into our union was unforgettable. Our guests have been commenting ever since how much they loved the ceremony & Jennifer’s ability to tell our story like they had been there themselves. We also did a warming of the rings, which if you have the opportunity you should definitely take part in! Jennifer takes the time to get to know you as a couple & creates a warm and intimate ceremony for you & your partner (as well as the guests!). I highly recommend Officiant Jennifer Luu—she is the absolute best!!
Jennifer was completely wonderful and conducted a beautiful ceremony. She was great to work with and if the ceremony is important to you, she is certainly worth the money.
Jennifer did an AMAZING job at our ceremony. She told our story so beautifully, and made it as unique as we are. She went through all of the details with us thoroughly before the wedding and made us feel very comfortable with what we wanted to share during the ceremony, which was very important to us as an LGBT couple. We would absolutely recommend Jennifer!!
Jennifer was very easy to work with. She met with us once and then gave us a questionnaire to complete. She then wrote an incredible speech and delivered it flawlessly. Another awesome thing about Jennifer is how confident and calm she was about everything regarding the ceremony. She's so confident she will inspire confidence in you and make your nerves go away. I would highly recommend her anytime.
Jennifer officiated our daughter’s wedding. Our entire family, and everyone we spoke with commented on how eloquently Jennifer performed the ceremony. She touched everyone’s heart with her beautiful and profound words. I cannot express enough how special she made this day for our daughter and her wife. Jennifer told their story beautifully and summed up the love and acceptance we all want to feel. We were blessed to have her officiate their wedding.
If you want a unique and personable ceremony Jennifer will definitely deliver that. My fiancé and I met Jenn for coffee after finding her through our wedding planner and I knew right away she was exactly the person I wanted to marry us. We wanted a very thoughtful ceremony not just the typical “let’s rush through this and get to the party”. Jennifer was able to tell everyone in that room how my husband & I met and she was able to convey our love story. She is very detail oriented and was able to take our rambled answers to her questionnaire and put together a story that made sense. We wanted a ceremony that was interactive and Jennifer has great ideas and she was always on the same page as us! On the most important day of your life you want the person that is marrying you to really “hear” what you want as a couple. She always did that! I would throw a new idea for the ceremony at her and I could trust that she would know exactly how to make it her own & I always loved the result! Jennifer is a true professional but she also has a real love for her couples & you can definitely feel that! I would highly recommend any couple who wants a ceremony that everyone will talk about to hire Jennifer!
Jennifer was amazing to work with!! She really was able to get such a good understanding of who we are and it showed through in our ceremony. I’ve been to so many weddings were the ceremony could be about ANYONE- that was not the case with ours!! It was so personal and touching. We could not have been happier with the decision we made when hiring Jennifer. She is a gifted storyteller- book her!!!!!
A one-word review would be "amazing!" A two-word review would be "highly recommend!" But, a review for Jennifer Luu is more than a few words, just like her services.
Brittni and I's ceremony was not only the union between the two of us but a coming together of two very different cultures and family. Much of my large extended family did not know our story. Jennifer was the best storyteller.
We made sure to give her as much information as she wanted, making sure to not leave anything out. We voiced our vision and worked with her as she crafted our story. And crafted she did.
Like a master wood smith, Jennifer took all of our information and whittled it down to a beautiful piece. It blended multiple elements from our journey and turned it into a harmonious presentation of our love and devotion for each other. Many of our guests loved to learn about our own experiences and how we came to be. Some even asked how long Jennifer knew us and was surprised to learn that it wasn't long at all.
If I had to absolutely cut down my review of her services, it would be simply "perfect." Thank you so much for making our day perfect!
Jennifer's website promised a ceremony that was personal and meaningful and that's exactly what she delivered. She was so professional and responsive through the whole process. When we booked with her, she provided my fiance and I each a questionnaire to fill out about our relationship; we each filled it out separately and she used our answers to craft a ceremony that told our entire love story. We didn't know what the other person wrote so that part was a little lovely surprise on our wedding day. Afterwards, we got so many compliments from guests who had never attended a ceremony that was so personal to the couple. She was so easy to work with and I would recommend her to anyone.
I don’t even know where to begin! We first met up with Jennifer right when we got engaged. As soon as we met with her - we just knew we wanted her to officiate our wedding! The way Jennifer told our story was so beautiful, unique, and with so much love/emotion. We had so many guests come up to us to tell us how great she was and that it was one of the best wedding ceremonies they have been to. Thank you so much Jennifer for telling our love story and for being apart of it. There is no one else we would chosen than you.
We are so glad we found Jennifer Luu! She made our big day SO special! Getting coffee and talking about our love story was so fun! After the wedding we couldn’t stop hearing about how amazing of a job Jennifer did! She executed our ceremony with perfection, it was exactly what we wanted! She made it so personal telling our stories and it was absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much Jennifer!
I was so wrapped up in the glitz and frivolous details that go into a wedding, we had totally put off finding an Officiant, basically the lynchpin in making a marriage legal. Everyone just cares about cake and drinks I thought. I figured it would be no big deal, you just get someone to read a few legal words and boom done, no ones going to remember it anyway, right? Well, I am so glad my coordinator recommended Jennifer. THANKFULLY she was actually available that day. Jennifer took the time to get to know us and our story and was able to really incorporate it into our ceremony. Anyone can read some words but she really is a story teller and there were laughs and tears in all the right places. It made our ceremony incredibly personable and memorable. It set the tone for the entire wedding, and while everything about the wedding was great, I can't tell you how many times I heard that, that was the absolute best ceremony, or THAT was my favorite part of the night. No small compliment I assure you! You know it's good when everyone asks how long she'd been our friend! There's a lot about that night that is a blur, but two weeks later and the ceremony still makes me get the feels. Can't recommend her enough!
I am so glad I decided to go with Jennifer. Right away it seemed like she understood what kind of ceremony we were looking for. It was personal and it was exactly us. She really wanted to know who we were as a couple and it translated perfectly during the ceremony. I would highly recommend her!!
I do not even know where to begin in our choice for Jennifer Luu as our officiant for our wedding. To begin, our wedding coordinator gave us a list of options but said you probably won’t need this because Jennifer is the best there is. I spoke with Jennifer on the phone a few times before setting up a meeting and our connection was instant she is so easy to talk to and is a class act. My husband and and I ended up setting up a meeting with her, and we spent that time laughing, sharing stories, and feeling like we’ve known her our whole life. She was supportive of what we wanted and was willing to go the extra mile to get to know us even more. There are no words to describe how beautiful our ceremony was thanks to Jennifer. The whole night when I was talking to friends and family, they could not stop talking about how amazing our “story teller” wise. She perfectly depicted the story of how we met, our life together, our engagement, and more. I cannot count the amount of people who came and asked how we knew Jennifer, how long we have known her, and why they have never met her before because it seemed as if she knew us better than the majority of the guests. I could go on and on about why Jennifer is the best. Or of all of the choices in vendors made, Jennifer is probably one of the most important and BEST decisions we ever made.
Jennifer performed our wedding ceremony on June 9th at the Heights Villa, and the only word I can think of that would even come close to describing it would be MAGICAL. We wanted our wedding to be focused on us and our relationship, and that’s exactly how it turned out. Jennifer personalized our ceremony and told our story so beautifully. I heard so many compliments from guests about how cool it was to get to hear the whole story of our relationship. I could go on and on about all the cool things Jennifer has to offer, but I don’t think I would do her justice. If you are planning a more “non traditional “ wedding, something different from every other wedding you’ll go to, something that you and your partner and your guests will never forget, I would definitely recommend having Jennifer perform your ceremony!!
I still have no idea how Jennifer did it… she made it seem like she had known my husband and I for years, when we had only met her about a week before our wedding. She has an ingenious way of meeting and getting to know couples. My husband and I put together a wedding in about 10 days, and within a week, she put together a ceremony that perfectly captured our story and the spirit of "us." This was expert level stuff. If anyone needs a fabulous officiant, it doesn't get better than Jennifer! She put in the work to make sure that everything was perfect. Our family asked her where in the world she found her… and commended her for her delivery and story-telling. She is incredible! She made it very clear from the start that she respected the personal choices we wanted within our ceremony… she was accommodating in every way. And she shared advice from her personal experience, which was really useful too. I would recommend her to everyone who wants a professional officiant who delivers the perfect personal ceremony!
Jennifer was amazing. She created such an intimate, one-of-a-kind ceremony for us. All of our guests were raving about her during our reception. Everyone kept saying, "That was the best officiant I've ever seen!" And I definitely believe it was true. Jennifer's main initiative was to te
