Jen was the officiant of our wedding in 11/2024, and it went perfectly. We loved that’s she took the time to get to know us and make our ceremony personalized to us. She had a wonderful personality and way with words that makes you feel comfortable. I would recommend her to anyone!!
We are so happy that we had Jen officiate our destination wedding in Sedona (we live in Pittsburgh). She was amazing from start to finish! Excellent communication! We met on zoom and communicated through email. She is so organized and provided so many detailed ceremony options (vows, literature, rituals, etc) to choose from. We did two ceremonies back to back (one more traditional wedding ceremony with our family and then a separate spiritual ceremony with just us on top of Airport Mesa).
She created the most amazing wedding ceremony scripts for both ceremonies and made them so unique and personalized! She really captured our love story and worded everything so beautifully. Jen is truly such a light and her energy is so magnetic! She made us feel so grounded and calm in her presence and like we could just be ourselves. She has such a beautiful heart and that really shines though in her work. We couldn't have dreamed of a better officiant for our wedding and are so grateful for all of her help to make our day so memorable and special! Can't recommend her enough!
Jen is such a lovely human being and we are so grateful to have had her with on us our journey as we got married. She guided us through the process, easing our nerves and helping us connect with each other on a deeper level before we ever even said, "I Do". The ceremony script was so unique, perfectly us, and we cannot thank her enough.
Would highly recommend working with Jen as you navigate this next chapter in your lives!
Jen, we will never forget your kindness, patience, understanding and the support you gave us as we entered this next chapter of our lives.
Jen was so amazing through the whole process. We opted to do all the pre marital counseling sessions. I would highly recommend doing it! Jen made us feel so comfortable and it allowed my husband and I to set aside some time each week, during a hectic time in our life, to talk and spend time with one another. Jen also helped settle my nerves about the ceremony. She walked us through how everything would go the night before which left no room for us too stress about it. The day would not have been the same without her!
Jen was hands down the most amazing wedding officiant and guide that we could have ever asked for! She is such a kind person at heart and we felt so comfortable with her throughout the process. Jen is so talented, she thought of every detail that we never even had on our radar. She brought our love story and connection with one another to life during our ceremony and we are so incredibly grateful to have had her with us on our special day ♥️
We had high hopes for Jen Paul from Life Passages to officiate our Sedona wedding based on her countless 5-star reviews, and from the very first email we received from her, we knew we were in great hands. That said, the ceremony she crafted based on my husband's and my 12+ years together turned out to be even more beautiful and memorable than we could have possibly imagined!
Jen's warmth, professionalism, and genuine interest in our story made the entire process fun and special. She took the time to get to know us (both as a couple and as individuals), understand our journey, and incorporate personal touches that truly spoke to our relationship. The ceremony was a perfect blend of fun, love, laughter, and deep meaning, bringing our couple story to life in the most heartfelt way.
We will forever be grateful that we chose Jen to preside over something as special as our wedding ceremony. Her ability to create such a personal and intimate experience made our day incredibly memorable, and we will cherish it for the rest of our lives.
We wholeheartedly recommend Jen Paul to anyone looking for an officiant who will bring their love story to life in a unique, heartfelt, and meaningful way. Thank you for investing so much time, thought, love, and energy into making our special day all the more incredible and memorable, Jen!
Jen Paul delivered the most beautiful ceremony we could have imagined. She fused all of our requests to create a meaningful experience. She took time to know us as a couple and made sure the ceremony represented who we are. We are in awe of the magic she added to our day, including genuinely appreciating the beauty of our union and the moment. It was a gift to have her as part of this magnificent life event.
Jen Paul is such an amazing person. WE planned a location to elope and did a little research in regards to an officiant/ordained minister. Jen was highly credited as being wonderful. The reviews couldn’t of been more correct! Amazing, thoughtful, caring, loveable, sincere, genuine, professional are just a few words which really come to mind. Her attention to detail was a very personal added touch which really made a difference to us. The personal questionnaire she asked us to fill out ahead of time allowed her to get some really sentimental personal shared insight to our feelings. She read them, utilized them during our service which added a touch which made everything such a wonderful more connected connection on our day.
One of the greatest moments in my life! Go big or go home! Thank you so much Jen for everything! You made us cry, laugh, and embrace each other even tighter that day! You are a blessing and we cannot thank you enough!
I am lucky to say that I value you so much! I am glad to call you a friend! 😊
I highly recommend Jen for any setting! 5 stars just simply cannot rate her enough!
We couldn't have been more delighted with Jen's officiating for our wedding at the Enchantment. From the moment we reached out, it was evident that she was dedicated to making our ceremony truly reflected us as a couple - she spent the time to get to know us, taking into consideration our traditions and values, and made it feel incredibly intimate.
Every word felt meaningful and heartfelt, and to be quite honest, Jen alone made our wedding perfect!
Jen was our officiant for our Sedona elopement, and we were so grateful to have her expertise in the experience! Her questionnaire is thorough as it's her goal to really get to know you as a couple so she can construct a thoughtful, meaningful ceremony with information provided confidentially from both the bride and the groom. We also had a transportation hiccup on the date of our wedding, Jen was warm and reassuring to diffuse panic on our big day.
Jen was everything we could have asked for. She was so detailed, kind, and responsive. Jen had so many different personalizations that allowed us to truly make the script and the ceremony everything we wanted. It was like she was telling a story about us to us. I’d give her 10/5 stars if I could! Absolutely amazing!
Jen was highly recommended to us and was an excellent officiant for our Arizona elopement. She crafted a beautiful ceremony that truly captured our personalities and hearts. She was amazing to work with and highly recommended!
From the first email to the day of, Jen was nothing short of amazing. She took so much time to make sure our ceremony was personal, meaningful and fun! I also very much appreciated her casually fixing my dress and veil after bit of wind came though. All while not skipping a beat of the ceremony! Jen was always incredibly responsive and professional in every interaction. She was also a hit with our guests who gave rave reviews!
Jenn was more than amazing; she captured our love story perfectly and was such a calming presence for us throughout the entire day. We truly couldn't have had a better person officiate our wedding. Although we had only met her for a short period, she truly felt like an old friend who knew the exact things to say to do our ceremony justice. We cannot recommend Jenn more!
Jen is so warm and caring and was exactly who we needed to officiate our ceremony. I knew exactly what I wanted out of an officiant but was having a hard time finding it until I came across her website. I instantly knew she was a perfect fit for what we wanted! The ceremony was hands down my favorite part of the day. She kept everything calm and stress-free, being fully prepared and organized. She took every little detail from the questionnaire we filled out and crafted it into a beautiful ceremony, capturing our love story and the moment perfectly. Our friends and family continually tell us how amazing the ceremony was and how it was their favorite one they’ve ever attended. I will never forget the moment of the rocks behind us, glowing from the sunset, our family watching us, hearing Jen’s voice, and staring into my husbands eyes. She even printed the words into a booklet for us to look back on and relive. If you’re looking for someone to really tell the story of you, to incorporate a spiritual or meditate aspect into your ceremony, and create a special experience you will never forget- Jen is the person for you. I couldn’t recommend her more.
Our ceremony could not have been more perfect! Jen truly went above and beyond to get to know us, our history, our quirks and perfectly captured our story and our love. I have never seen a ceremony so custom to the couple. The ceremony was beautifully written, sometimes emotional, other times funny and reflective. We especially enjoyed getting to hear what we had each told Jen in private about the other. What a truly amazing way to get a peak inside of your partners head and what they’ve noticed silently over the years and how their love has grown. Jen also was amazing with making sure everything went exactly had we wanted it, which involved some corralling of the families LOL
Jen - We are so appreciative of all that you did to make our elopement unforgettable! It was such a blast working with you and your unique energy which brightened the whole day!
There are few moments in one's life where you cross paths with someone who is as beautiful of a soul as Jen. The ceremony she created for us was absolutely magical and I am so glad our paths aligned to have met her. I highly recommend the premarital counseling with her, it was definitely worth it for us.
10/10
Jen is awesome! She made the process so easy and fun but most importantly gave us a little homework that was a reminder of all the things our love is based on. One conversation on the phone and you will know that shes the one!
We had the pleasure of working with Jen for our out of town Sedona wedding! We cannot say enough great things about Jen as a person and the wonderful work she did for us! She exceeded any and all of our expectations. When planning an out of town wedding there are many things that come into play and finding an officiant that truly cared and would capture us well was something I was concerned about. Luckily, our wedding coordinator recommended Jen and we were blown away! She was so quick with her responses and within a few days of reaching out she had setup a zoom with us. She really took the time to listen to our story, our hopes for our big day, and fully understood our vision. The questionnaire she had both my husband and I fill out was perfect. She sent us a draft of our ceremony for our wedding before hand which was so special to read together- if we had any changes or questions regarding the ceremony she graciously made or answered them. She also came down for our rehearsal which was very appreciated and our actual ceremony on our wedding day was perfection! We have had so many of our family and friends comment on how great she was, asking how we found her and highly praising her for such a wonderful job. If you are looking for an officiant that truly cares and will make your day special, Jen is your lady! Thank you so much for everything!
The best officiant we could have asked for! Jen was such a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend her to other couples looking for the perfect ceremony. We were booking and coming from across the country and she made sure the process was still super smooth and easy. We were able to meet via Zoom, talk about ourselves, the relationship, and the wedding. You can tell that she really has a desire to know and truly understand the couples she works with. The ceremony she crafted was warm, personal, and filled with love. She invites you to be a part of choosing the perfect combination of readings, vows, blessings, etc. She's an excellent communicator, she explains every step of the marriage process right down to obtaining the license, she radiates joy, and she even helped us choose the right spot for the ceremony when our plans had to shift due to a new baby on board. She's a 10/10 :)
My husband and I did not find an officiant until just a few weeks before our wedding and we are so lucky to found Jen! After reaching out to Jen, she contacted us the next day to set up a video call. She is so organized and has many options to choose from and guides you through creating the perfect ceremony. She was so prepared and experienced. Our families and friends were all very impressed with Jen's work and we have already referred another couple to Jen. Thank you again!
We could not be happier about choosing Jen to officiate our wedding. The time she spent with us in the months leading up to the big day allowed us to get to know each other. Because of this, it felt like we had a loved one presiding over our ceremony. She is kind, peaceful, deeply in tune with herself and those around her, and just a wealth of wisdom in regards to both life and love. I would highly recommend Jen to anyone who is considering hiring her to officiate their wedding!
My husband and I decided to renew our vows for our 25th wedding anniversary in beautiful Sedona. Jen Paul was exactly the kind of officiant we were looking for. Jen is very personable, organized, professional, and kind. During the ceremony, she added extra touches that were very meaningful and created a beautiful keepsake for us to remember our day. Jen has a wonderful way with words that made our ceremony incredibly special. She arrived promptly for our ceremony and responded quickly whenever we emailed to ask a question. In addition, she had excellent recommendations for location and photographers. We are so grateful to Jen and our special day far exceeded what we could ever hope for. I highly recommend Jen Paul!
Jen was very professional. Once I emailed her she was prompt in getting in touch with me and getting to know my and my groom. Jen respected our beliefs and values and wrote very special vows. We were on a limited budget and her price was extremely reasonable. I was also impressed with her adventurous spirit and her willingness to officiate in the Lava Tube cave on the out skirts of Flagstaff.
I have only the best things to say about Jen Paul. My wife and I appreciate the time and attention she offered us every time we met before the wedding. Her ability to be present with each of our stories and see through to our essence really came in handy throughout all the premarital sessions we did. She was flexible in her time and allowed us to add an additional premarital session to cover some of the material. Her questionnaires are thought provoking and lead me to a deeper reflection on who I am, who my partner is, and how we’d like to live in our loving relation with one another. I never imagined that there would be so much that would come out of the premarital sessions. All I can say is, it wasn’t couples counseling, it was more like authentic self and marriage building.
Jen Paul’s ceremony was a monumentous moment. She has a presence in ceremony that really calls in Spirit. The construction of every word felt unique and special to how she had gotten to know us. The wedding ceremony is the most important part of getting married to me, and Jen made that place light up! I couldn’t be happier with the choice my wife and I made with Jen Paul. I recommend going with her complete offerings and taking the leap into a greater connection with your partner. You will not regret it.
Jen Paul served as the wedding officiant for our grand daughters wedding. Jen went above and beyond by creating a personalized and customized ceremony that beautifully incorporated the bride and groom’s unique love story. Jen is a master at her craft and has an extraordinary talent. She skillfully weaved together their journey as a couple, capturing the essence of their relationship and making the ceremony truly heartfelt and meaningful. It's clear that Jen Paul took the time to get to know both the bride, groom and their intimate relationship with family members resulting in a ceremony that felt genuine, powerful and touching. Jen’s special gift of attention to detail, life experience and commitment made our grand daughters and new grandson’s day special in every way and truly commendable! Seeking “ the best of the best?” We highly recommend Jen Paul.
Jen was very helpful with our small, intimate ceremony. She made everything relaxing and non-stressful. She’s very detail oriented so would make sure every last detail was thought of. My in-laws really liked her and made them feel special. She has a calm presence and truly cares about who she is marrying. She was worth every penny we paid her and we even tipped her for going above and beyond when she drove from Flagstaff in the terrible rain and still officiated it indoors. I would highly recommend her for anyone.
We are so lucky we found Jen to be our wedding officiant! She was amazing to work with from start to finish. She was very responsive from the time I first reached out and throughout the whole process of planning our ceremony. She took the time to get to know my husband and I and our story very well, and then crafted the most beautiful ceremony for us. It was everything we hoped for and I couldn't have imagined a better ceremony! She added humor to keep us and our guests laughing, and then hit on all the sweet and sentimental moments which had us and our guests shedding a tear. The smudging and baby blessing she performed were beautiful additions and my favorite part of our ceremony. After our ceremony, she also provided us with a beautiful booklet of our whole ceremony written up which I will treasure forever! Jen brought such a positive and calming energy to our ceremony and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant on their big day!
Best Officiant Ever!!! Jen was absolutely phenomenal. She was there every step of the way when we were trying to plan our wedding ceremony. We decided to elope and contacted her a month before our elopement date and she ensured everything not only ran smoothly but most importantly, made us feel heard and understood. If you are looking for an officiant
who makes you feel like she’s known your partner and you for years, is detailed oriented, and listens to all your needs and wants- Jen is absolutely your person!
Jen did such an amazing job with our ceremony. She took the time to get to know us and made a beautiful unique ceremony. You would recommend Jen for any ceremony.
Our Love story wedding crafted by Jen Paul of Life Passages was truly special and one of a kind. Imagine having your own personal love story added to your ceremony.
Highly recommend ❤️❤️
Jen is the best in Arizona, she will take care of you so well and go above and beyond for her clients. She helped us stay calm and relaxed during the wedding and made our special day come to life with a beautiful ceremony. Definitely choose her!
Let us start by saying how incredible of a person Jen is and how much we appreciated her not only as our officiant on the day of our wedding, but also for the months leading up to our wedding as we completed premarital counseling sessions with her.
Premarital Sessions – We completed 5 sessions with Jen during the months leading up to our wedding day, and we highly recommend them! As a couple, we did not feel like we had any major concerns heading into our wedding in terms of our relationship. We have been together for 8 years and have discussed just about everything with each other. However, we wanted to feel a connection to our officiant, and we figured these sessions could be useful to simply receive feedback from an outside perspective. Jen exceeded our expectations! The questionnaires that she provided were very thought-provoking and helped us as a couple discuss topics that perhaps we had not thought of before. Jen truly took the time to read all our responses, which were quite lengthy! Her feedback and advice during our sessions was invaluable!
Officiating our Wedding – The ceremony that Jen wrote and put together for us was so personal and truly amazing. She provided questionnaires for us in advance to help her write our ceremony and she didn’t miss a single detail. She arrived early to both our rehearsal and ceremony even though she had a long drive from Flagstaff to Cottonwood. She was well organized, thorough, and clearly well prepared for our big day.
She was so in tune with the atmosphere that we were hoping to create during our ceremony and was very helpful for our rehearsal and the day of. She helped calm our nerves in anticipation of the ceremony beginning and made our friends and family feel so welcomed.
Overall, Jen made us feel so appreciated and special throughout the months leading up to our wedding and on the day of our wedding. When our big day came, numerous friends and family who attended our wedding also gave us compliments on how much they liked Jen and many even thought she was a part of our family or that we had known her for years.
Don’t look any further for a life cycle celebrant and specifically from our experience, a wedding officiant and pre-marital counselor. We highly recommend Jen, her premarital sessions that she offers, and her as a wedding officiant. We look forward to staying in contact with Jen as time moves on and will absolutely seek further services from her in the future!
Jen is incredible! She made our day perfect in many way. She worked with our photographer the day of to make sure our ceremony spot was perfect. She took her time with our ceremony to make sure it was exactly what we wanted, and she made us feel so calm and comfortable in the moment. I couldn’t imagine having anyone else their to officiate our day.
Working with Jen Paul from Life Passages was delightful. She explained everything very patiently during the consultation. Afterward, we received many options to customize our ceremony to be sure it matched what we envisioned. Jen was available throughout the process to answer any questions that came up. We were so happy to finally meet Jen on our wedding day. Her warm personality and soulful engagement turned our ceremony into a magical experience.
Choosing an officiant for our wedding was a scary task - but once we had an initial zoom call with Jen we knew we had found the perfect person to marry us! She has such a positive energy around her that made us feel very safe and calm. The time she took to get to know us as a couple meant a lot to us. She had us fill out long and in depth questionnaires about our relationship to help get to know us better. Our ceremony was so personalized and unique to our relationship. She listened to our desires and helped make suggestions when we needed advice. The day of the wedding she smudged us and said a prayer which really helped focus and ground us before the ceremony. We added the smudging to our "first touch" and it was beautiful! Everyone who attended our wedding was very touched with Jen's deliverance and we got a lot of positive feedback from our family. People said they learned more about our relationship from the ceremony and could see who we were as a couple being reflected. We are so happy with our decision to use Jen and we highly recommend her for anyone in need of an officiant.
Jen is amazing and sweet! Amazing experience from start to finish! She made everything so easy and allowed us so many options to choose from to make our wedding customized to us! The ceremony was beautiful, so many happy tears were shed among many including bride and groom! We loved our keepsake of the ceremony she sent us as well! Highly recommend Jen to all!
Jen did an amazing job putting together a very personalized ceremony for our special day! We laughed, cried and honestly couldn't have imagined anything better! Our family and friends also raved about how special the ceremony was and how well Jen outlined our lives together and told our full story. I'm so glad we put our trust in Jen for our wedding day, we would choose her over and over again and suggest her to anyone wanting someone who is professional and genuine!
Do yourself a favor and BOOK JEN! I could not be any happier with her services. We also took advantage of the 4 pre-marital sessions and they are so valuable. If you are looking for a personalized experience and someone who truly cares, Jen is your girl!
Amazing experience!!! Jen spent the time to create a ceremony that really represented us. She was great to work with. I got so many compliments on the ceremony. She helped before hand with any information or recommendations I needed. I highly recommend her.
From our pre-marital counseling to our wedding ceremony design and preparations, Jen guided us through every step of the process. She took the time to get to know us personally and brought such a warm and calming presence during our ceremony. We now consider Jen more than our wedding officiant, but a true friend as well!
We couldn't have asked for a more perfect and pleasant human being than Jen Paul. She guided us on the process of getting married in AZ. Hiring Jen Paul just felt right, she gave us exactly what we wanted and more.
Working with Jen was great she was very responsive and helpful. I never gave hiring an officiant much though prior to my wedding, but I am so happy we found Jen. She made the ceremony tailored to us as a couple, so it had personal touches and guided us through everything! Do yourself a favor to take some wedding stress off your plate and book Jen as your officiant!
Jen is the best to work with! She was so knowledgeable and offered her recommendations based on our vision. She kept me(the bride!) calm from the beginning and was so professional. Jen is very responsive and was able to provide a few drafts of our ceremony until we felt it was perfect. She was flexible and patient when we changed our wedding location site. Please do yourself a favor and book Jen as your wedding officiant!
Where do I even begin? I am forever grateful that Jen came into our lives when she did. My now husband and I were in search of an officiant to marry us that would embody everything we had been looking for in an officiant. My original hope was that a friend or family member would marry us, and thank goodness that didn’t work out because then we wouldn’t of had the absolute dream of a ceremony that we did. From beginning to end, Jen guided us and made the process of putting together such a special and intimate ceremony EASY! I truly felt like she went above and beyond to get to know us and by wedding day I felt like we had known Jen for years. The love,?thoughtfulness and passion that she pours into her work is so very apparent and makes for an unforgettable experience. We chose the Love Story ceremony for our wedding because we really wanted our friends and family to get to know our story from beginning to end, and they absolutely did. I never imagined so many guests would comment on how beautiful our ceremony was (not kidding… even some of our guy friends teared up which I thought was so sweet). Jen took everything we hoped for and dreamed of and created such a unique and personal ceremony that we will love and cherish forever. She spoke beautifully and seamlessly incorporated two different spiritual/religious backgrounds and created a ceremony that really spoke to both families. She also tied in a ritual to honor our parents, as well as honor the sacred land of Sedona. I especially loved that part since our wedding was a destination wedding and this gave our guests a very personable look into native traditions. It was very apparent that Jen really took her time and put thought into every single word in our ceremony. I really don’t think we would’ve had as beautiful of an experience with anyone else. Jen was definitely our person. We truly wish we lived close to her so that we couple grab a cup of coffee and hang out… rehearsal and wedding ceremony just wasn’t enough! Jen was so professional and well-organized throughout the entire planning process and I wish all brides and grooms get this same experience. Do yourself a favor and choose Jen as your officiant for any of life’s celebrations and moments - you will not regret it! Thank you Jen for marrying us and being such an important part of a day we will never forget. We love you!
We couldn't have been happier with having Jen be apart of our big day. She brought such a comfort and peace to our special moment. She was so genuine and caring with our love story it was almost as if we knew her our whole lives! She was so helpful throughout the process. Whenever we had questions regarding our love story, marriage license, or ceremony locations in Sedona, she was always so responsive. Since we were coming from Florida, we knew we were in good hands with Jen in Arizona. We could not recommend her more! Jen is kind soul and is ESSENTIAL to any wedding day. You really can't go wrong! Thank you, Jen. We were so grateful that you were a special part of our journey.
If you chose Jen to be your wedding officiant, you will be so grateful you did! Jen is such a kind and caring person, who is extremely professional and excellent at her craft! She was available for our small ceremony/elopement, and blew us, our family, & guest away with her beautifully crafted ceremony (many of our guest unexpectedly cried at her touching words!). Jen takes the time to get to know you as an individual and as a couple, and provides multiple options when writing your special ceremony. You will have to do some homework, but I think it enhances the process of writing our vows. Communicate was quick and easy, and she was a vendor we did not have to worry about on our wedding day. Her energy was so calming and sincere, and we feel so lucky Jen officiated our ceremony!
Jen was awesome! She made it such an easy process, we were so nervous but thanks to Jen it was beautiful.
Jen is an amazing woman and an expert officiant! She made my husband and I feel guided every step of the way from figuring out the type of ceremony we wanted to offering locations near Cathedral Rock where we could get great pictures out of foot traffic during a really busy hiking season! Her kind voice and loving presence made a lot of my nerves go away. She added in humor and moments of sacredness. After our wedding my father suddenly passed and I reached out to ask for comfort from her since we had such a great connection and she sent me the most beautiful song she sang with a loving note. It brought me healing tears. I am forever grateful we chose Jen for our special day.
Look no further - Jen Paul is the best!!! Jen was the first officiant I came across when looking for an officiant. I read a couple reviews raving about her and decided to look no further. No regrets!! Jen is exactly who you need to make your day truly special. I was so happy she was able to officiate our intimate ceremony. It felt like a close friend being there.
Even though we only had a few months in between the time I first contacted Jen and our ceremony, we decided to do the premarital sessions with Jen, which I definitely recommend! Not only did the sessions help us solidify even more that getting married is the right decision and made us closer as a couple, it allowed us to build a relationship with Jen. She got to know us on a deeper and meaningful level, which made our ceremony that much more personal and special.
Jen takes the time prior to the premarital sessions to read your responses. You can tell she cares and is invested. We shared many laughs and tears as well. Our sessions with her gave us the opportunity as a couple to sit down and connect during such a hectic time. Jen always made us feel safe and comfortable. She was the perfect blend of personable and professional.
Jen was responsive with her communication throughout the whole process. She provided a draft of the ceremony script where we got to decide between several variations and were also allowed to edit or omit, if needed. It was absolutely beautiful. We cried multiple times throughout reading it. We were really glad she provided a draft before the ceremony because we were able to sit down and take in the words, whereas during the ceremony can be a little distracting to pay attention. We plan to continue to see Jen post-marriage since she does such a great job at connecting you as a couple.
Jen is outstanding! The words spoken in a ceremony are among the most special and memorable parts of a wedding day. Her ability to write and deliver beautiful prose, as well as to welcome the spirit of love into the ceremony is indescribable. So much of what made our day special we owe to her.
My husband and I were so lucky to have found Jen to be our officiant for our intimate wedding! She is thoughtful, incredibly kind and detail oriented. Jen exceeded our expectations in making our ceremony everything we could have dreamed of! Since my husband and I were not in Arizona before the wedding, Jen scheduled a Facetime call with us. She got to know us and we got to talk about what we envisioned. She really customizes everything to make it special and personal. With her help, we created exactly what we wanted and we will always treasure that beautiful day. Thank you Jen for going above and beyond!
Jen was a charming, down to earth person. She was warm and friendly at the ceremony, adding nice personal touches to create a very special day. Would highly recommend her for all parties looking to get married by an officiant that is very open minded and kind. Thank you Jen for making our day memorable!
Alan and Debbie
Jen was amazing. She was very helpful and so kind and peaceful. She really made our ceremony special. Thanks for everything you did!
If we could give Jen more than 5 stars we would. From the time we contacted her she was eager to work with us and is super easy to work with, she had great suggestions which helped make our ceremony unique to us. Everyone who attended keep telling us how amazing it was and that’s all thanks to Jen!
We are so happy we chose Jen to be the officiant for our wedding. Because of her, our ceremony was AMAZING! Jen had never met us before the day of our wedding, but she personalized our ceremony as if she knew us for years. She had our guests laughing and crying throughout the entire ceremony with stories of the proposal and our future. All night our guests were talking about how great the ceremony was and the amazing job she did, she was even mentioned in the dinner speeches. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. Thank you Jen for making our day so special and creating a ceremony that we will always remember!!
Jen was amazing to work with through emails and phone calls (NJ to AZ). She helped us create a beautiful ceremony to renew our wedding vows after 25 years. When forest fires closed our ceremony site, Jen, within an hour, was able to coordinate with our photographer. She found a lovely alternative in beautiful orchard in a canyon.
Jen was very warm and communicative the entire process. She has a big heart and it shows. Planning a wedding is very stressful, but she was always one step ahead of my nerves and stayed on top of everything. Her attention to detail to work out every word with us during the ceremony planning was also great. She conveyed the emotions perfectly. During rehearsal there were a lot of people trying to lead and it was chaos. Jen very professionally took the lead with the other vendors and helped bring order so we could effectively figure it all out quickly. There was a hiccup during the ceremony but she handled it with grace and ease. We definitely recommend Jen for any emotional life events!
Jen was amazing and helped us have a very personalized and perfect ceremony
