Jennifer did a beautiful job officiating our wedding ceremony. It was even better than we could even imagine. When looking for an officiant, we wanted someone to tell our story in a special way, without it feeling overly traditional/religious. She absolutely nailed it! We had several people approach us during and after the wedding to tell us how much they enjoyed the cermony--all thanks to her! She was a breeze to work with throughout the process. I highly highly recommend her!

Jennifer was our officiant for our wedding ceremony this weekend and we had multiple comments from guests afterwards about how heartfelt and beautiful our ceremony was, in large part as a result of her work officiating. Jennifer took our story written by the two of us separately and wove it together to be a beautiful retelling of how we got to where we are today. Multiple guests confessed they were in tears throughout the ceremony and also that they loved our unity ceremony (planting a tree together), an idea that never would have occurred to us without walking through a very thoughtful, detailed preparation process with Jennifer. She was patient when we got our vows to her very late, and really helped us feel prepared walking into our big day. Thank you Jennifer for an unforgettable ceremony!

The ceremony was without a doubt the very best part of our wedding, in GREAT part because of Jennifer. My now husband and I struggled to hold back tears because Jennifer told our story so well. After the ceremony, several people asked us about Jennifer and how she was the best officiant they ever heard. If you’re looking for an officiant who personalizes your ceremony and crafts something unique for you in a way that you will never forget, Jennifer is your pick.
Jennifer was also so easy to work with. She answered all of our questions and gave us useful advice. We have absolutely no complaints. Highlight of our wedding experience for sure!

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!

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 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

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!

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.

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! :)

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.

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 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!

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!

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!!!!!

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.
