Minnesota Wedding Officiants

y recommend Nancy for officiating your wedding!

yone raved about her and the ceremony and we could not have asked for a better officiant!

to work with - very responsive, attentive and personable!

include! She was the most perfect officiant for our big day! We wish we could do it all over again with her! She also worked really well with our large group and made the rehearsal go smoothly and everyone knew what to do the next day!

is so professional, kind, and passionate about helping couples. We chose a ritual that was special to us, but did not quite know what direction to take to describe the ritual during the ceremony. Cara took extra time to help us come up with wording and an explanation that was absolutely perfect. During the rehearsal, Cara took time to go through the ceremony until we felt comfortable and confident. Once it was time for the real ceremony, Cara did an amazing job of picking up on uncertainty and subtly guiding us so the ceremony flowed beautifully. We are forever grateful to Cara and would highly recommend her as your wedding officiant!

and insightful. She was supportive of our wedding ceremony vision and helped so much to make it all come together beautifully. She was so quick to respond to any questions/concerns and she stayed in close contact in the weeks and days leading up to our wedding. We are forever grateful for her superb work! We recommend everyone use Cara as their wedding officiant!

us feel special. We can’t thank her enough for being part of our big day! We couldn’t have done it without her!

y could not have been better! None of it would have been possible without Cara's help and guidance!

Cara’s guidance, we were able to turn our wedding into an intimate, romantic ceremony that was so very “us”, which was reinforced by our guests telling us how wonderful it was, and that it is a wedding they wouldn’t forget :) The information packets Cara provided us in the beginning were extremely helpful in organizing our ceremony and the examples were great starting points to help us write out our ceremony. She was very receptive to our ideas, provided great feedback, and helped us create our own wedding “ritual” that everyone loved. She helped us make our ceremony absolutely everything we wanted it to be! Not only that, Cara is extremely sweet and personable and SO easy to talk to, and quick to respond to our questions. Talking over our ceremony with Cara the day before our wedding put our minds at ease immediately. It was incredibly easy and stress-free with Cara’s help! If we could go back in time, we’d pick her again and again.

d put us at ease right away upon first meeting. She was responsive and attentive to the details. She helped guide our service with recommendations that suited our philosophy and style. She was also thorough with submitting our license and following up to ensure we received our final marriage license from the state in a timely manner.

ectly reflected who we are as a couple.

e your vision for your ceremony come true I highly suggest Cara.

so accommodating into squeezing our sessions into her busy schedule so last minute. We found that doing marriage counseling was very fun and beneficial for us as a couple and enjoyed her advice and input on so many things. She was also great at communicating with both of us through email and would reply back to us right away. We also had fun planning out our entire wedding ceremony outline and Cara was so great at giving back suggestions and input on it. She really was such a pleasure to work with and her direction during the last couple of months really helped ease our minds. We appreciate her being so easy to work with, communicate with and just her attention to the details. She did a great job. We are both looking forward to working with her in the future with followup sessions. Thank you so much Cara!! :)

provide very much help or feedback to me. Jennifer had my husband and I each answer three questions, and she told me she was going to put those answers into a "love story." I was expecting that part of the ceremony to be more of a story, but instead she just read our answers word for word and it didn't feel as special as I was hoping. The part of the ceremony that I am most upset about is when she was announcing my husband and I, she pronounced our last name wrong! She never once asked either us how to pronounce it, and on the wedding day it wasn't something that I even thought about with everything going on. So now when we watch our wedding video I have to relive that moment. Not happy!

ely recommend her to anyone!

t! All of our guests loved it, too! We could not recommend her more!

mail. We weren't exactly sure what we wanted but she asked us some questions to get a sense of what our values and personalities were. We loved the idea of the "love story" to make our ceremony authentic to us, and we got so much positive feedback from guests who loved hearing the story of us! Jill has such a soothing presence and also took command of ceremony day-of details. She organized cues with the ceremony musicians and did a brief run-down with us to make sure we understood what to do (we didn't have attendants so did not have a rehearsal--she does offer that too as needed/wanted!). I was nervous about things running smoothly for the ceremony, but Jill took away all my worries! She was really a guiding presence to make sure the day went well. She also followed up after the wedding, alerting us as to when we should be receiving our wedding certificate in the mail. I cannot recommend Jill highly enough!

ce of knowledge for the actual ceremony. Our ceremony was just the right combination of mushy and fun and entertaining and serious. We couldn't have asked for anyone better.

ne. Everyone was very impressed with her and we loved her.

was not only an officiant but an expert on how to flow our ceremony and evening she gave us queues on what we could do and when but also listened to our ideas. Her attention to detail and her leadership made our ceremony a beautiful even and we couldn't recommend her enough to someone looking for an all around great Officiant!

e us feel so grateful she was part of our special day. Also, her smile and reassuring words were so sweet during the ceremony, I couldn't have gotten through it without her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in the near future!

ions. The entire ceremony was personalized for us and we really enjoyed the reflections love story portion of the ceremony. We had many guests come up to us and say it was the best ceremony they have ever attended because of how personalized it was.

lly took the time to get to know us and help us craft a ceremony that really was "us". I can't speak for the other officiants, but I highly recommend Minnesota Wedding Officiants because of Jen Gori!!!

and give us ideas when we had no idea what we were doing. She was also able to work with us when we were changing things last minute at the rehearsal and the day of the wedding! We are so happy that we found her to be a part of our wedding and also grateful that she made it so easy for us. The day of the wedding was more relaxed than we thought it would be and it was truly wonderful. Thank you Cara!!!

ry, the ceremony location, the size of our guest list, and kind of what we were looking for. He then gave us the tools to build our customized ceremony. It was a easy and straightforward process. Allan is great to work with, quick to respond, and fairly priced. He did an amazing job of capturing us and our personalities during the ceremony. It was a really beautiful ceremony, and we received lots of compliments from our guests. I highly recommend Allan and Minnesota Wedding Officiants.

end Allan - everyone raved about our ceremony afterward. Thank you!

hen we met, she presented us with a wide array of options and welcomed all of our ideas for the ceremony. She also crafted a beautiful love story from questions that she gave us to answer separately, and we were both so delighted to hear how she wove our answers together to create a unique experience for us. All of our guests agreed that the wedding was beautiful and moving (some still had tears in their eyes in the receiving line). Although we found her through google, she felt like part of our circle from the very beginning. Thank you, Nancy!

everyone complemented us on. We couldn't recommend Jill enough to provide the right level of professionalism, comfort and creativity to make another loving couples ceremony the best they could expect!

ade it perfect! We really liked how we could customize our ceremony to be exactly how we wanted it. Cara was great at offering suggestions and answered all our questions really quickly. She made our wedding day about us and couldn’t be happier choosing her to officiate our ceremony. She was excellent!!

ns on what she thought may work best for us as a couple. She really seemed to genuinely want to get to know who we were as a couple. During our ceremony, even though we didn't have a rehearsal with her she was so good at making sure we knew what to do during each part of our ceremony. So discreetly that I doubt anybody watching noticed she was guiding us through. I'm so glad we picked her as our officiant and really feel as though she was a friend sharing in our special day.

itself. Also, planning our wedding was an especially difficult time for me, as I unexpectedly lost my father shortly after I started. Jill was incredibly supportive and understanding and helped me navigate the hardest experience of my life. I cannot adequately express how grateful I am for that. She is a wonderful person and a fantastic officiant. Our day just wouldn't have been the same without her and her care and work. The best! 💜💜💜

assured that our ceremony would be taken seriously and be unique to us. Mark was open to having as many meetings as necessary to plan out the ceremony that would be authentic to us as a couple, as well as provide the more religious solemnity that our grandparents and parents were hoping for. Mark was organized, and he got to know us both as people; we thought both of those things led to us having a beautiful ceremony that we'll remember the rest of our lives. Thank you for giving us exactly what we were looking for and more!

job of customizing our wedding ceremony to our needs and making it personalized just for us. We truly appreciated every minute of time that Jill spent in making our ceremony perfect and carefree so that our guests could laugh and enjoy every minute of it. We would highly recommend Jill to any couple looking for an officiant for their wedding, you will not be disappointed!!!

en to last minute changes. We had Nancy attend the rehearsal dinner, and she controlled the rehearsal and communicated everyone's role and order clearly. She was prepared and efficient. She also did a great job with the flower girl who was nervous, and the flower girl did a great job the day of the wedding! We are so appreciative of Nancy and how organized, clear and respectful she was. It was very reassuring. Nancy had a lot of pointers and tips for posing, walking down the aisle, etc. She has a lovely, calm speaking voice, spoke clearly through the microphone and worked with the DJ on the sound system. Everyone loved the ceremony and the "love story" she put together. It was sweet and funny. We still receive complements on the ceremony 6 months after the wedding! We are so happy we chose Nancy!

e our wedding and ceremony. We loved every bit of it and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for an officiant!

s! It was the perfect day and we would/ already have recommended Allan as an officiant! Breanna & Austin - 9.16.17

tion was perfect! He was quick and thorough with responses and made the process really easy. You could tell that he was a true professional and made us feel so at ease with him. I would highly recommend Allan to officiant anyone's wedding.

n MN from out of state, but Jill was accommodating and we never had any concerns with how the ceremony would run. The e-book MN Wedding Officiants provides was EXTREMELY helpful. It contains all sorts of example ceremony pieces and makes it easy to create a personalized wedding ceremony. Our rehearsal was quick and efficient. It also resulted in a near flawless ceremony :) We definitely recommend using MN Wedding Officiants and choosing Jill as your officiant!

edding and was very excited with how the wedding turned out and how many compliments we've received on her being our officiant. She made it fun by asking us two a few questions weeks prior and correlating our answers together to create a Love Story during our ceremony and it had nearly everyone in tears. She is the sweetest woman and gave her all when it came to our special day and we cannot thank her enough. Jen made it to our rehearsal as well to make sure our wedding party knew what to do and what to expect the whole time. She was amazing from beginning to end and would highly recommend her as your officiant!

commend Jill!!

all of the tools to help create a perfect ceremony were included with Minnesota Officiants. Thank you Cara for being such a kind, helpful, and genuine officiant for our wedding. Our ceremony was so perfect and went so smoothly! Highly recommend Cara.

was a joy to work with, and very easy to get a hold of for planning, as well as flexible for scheduling when things came up! He was extremely helpful in the planning process, yet let us make our own decisions. His wedding planning documents were a huge help for us as we were unsure what we wanted to do! On the day of, he was very reassuring, calm, and collected, even when we weren't! Everyone commented on how special and unique our ceremony was, and it wouldn't have been that way without him!

on certain areas of the ceremony and she helped narrow down options for readings etc. and even wrote a sample ceremony for me to personalize. I had many guests comment how personal the ceremony was, and that it seemed like Jill had known us for a while. Jill was extremely responsive and had great suggestions. Thank you, Jill!!

ceremony. We felt immediately comfortable in her presence. She was very clear, kind, extremely thorough, and helped make it very simple for us. Who doesn't love simple?! We sure do! Thanks Cara!!

t. He was professional and very easygoing.

etting guests to laugh. He is a very nice person and it was a pleasure working with him.

couple and what makes us click. He was very open to customizing the ceremony to our exact needs and ensured the service would satisfy both of our religious/faith-based expectations (or lack thereof). Allan was readily available for us throughout our entire planning process. He ensured everything was organized and obtained our approval on the complete ceremony outline. It was very reassuring and stress-relieving! On the day of our wedding, Allan showed up with the biggest smile on his face. He put us both at ease and ensured we remembered the purpose of the day. To focus on one another and not worry about the rest of it. At our ceremony, Allan shared a beautiful love story that he'd written given a few surveys he had us fill out. He added a great deal of fun color based on our conversations, and all of our guests were in awe! Allan is so sweet and genuine, and an absolute pleasure to work with. We recommend him as an officiant in the absolute highest regard!! - Mr. & Mrs. Graham

She then was able to create our ceremony on a more personal and relatable level. We received rave reviews from our guests about our ceremony . Kate included our Love Story which made our ceremony even more personal for our guests. Our ceremony was one of our favorite parts of our day.

loves her job! She helped us piece together our ceremony allowing us to pick what we wanted and gave us advice along the way! She provided everything we needed to create our own personalized ceremony! At the rehearsal Jill not only made sure everyone knew what to do for the ceremony but she also helped with other details such as the timing of our ceremony music, how to stand during each part of the ceremony and the queues that she would give to help us! She had great advice! The day of the ceremony Jill arrived early to make sure all the details were finalized! Our ceremony was everything we hoped for and more. The love story that Jill offers gave it that personalized, special touch that we were looking for. Jill guided us through the ceremony and my husband and I were able to relax the whole time. We received SO many compliments on our ceremony and we have Jill to thank for that! If we could offer two words of advice they would be to pick Jill Englund as your officiant and to use the love story in your ceremony! Thank you so much Jill for everything!

ne of my favorite parts of the day. Her advice and ideas are definitely things to consider. She has a great eye for this. We also loved how she takes control (in the best way) for the rehearsal and the wedding. Very efficient and knows how to make it run smoothly and look good in the process. Everybody in the family and party socializes and loses focus. Jill came in to keep everyone on task, bring focus to the bride and groom, and naturally made everything go perfectly.

re lucky enough to get Mark Scannell to officiate our wedding and couldn't have been more pleased. From the first meeting to prompt response time, he answered all of our questions and made us feel at ease with our overall ceremony selections. The e-book that we received was so thorough and contained such good material, we really enjoyed selecting readings and vows that were reflective of us as a couple and matched our beliefs. Overall, we were very pleased with Minnesota Wedding Officiants and would highly recommend!

o talk to, and professional. She truly helped to make our day wonderful and prepare us for our future.

much the perfect ceremony already written, we needed to make very few adjustments. Our guests told us that our ceremony was one of the best they had ever been to. They also assumed we had known Jill for years as she seemed to know us so well. We had a very non traditional ceremony. Jill was so well versed in pagan and Celtic rituals. She was exactly what we needed and we couldn't have been happier.

wedding ceremony they had ever been to. Would recommend working with Nancy without any reservations.

so that it truly fit our personalities. She offered a reflections portion where we had each submitted her responses to questions about how we felt about one another. We found that to be a very special moment to us and would highly recommend others to do the same. Cara is an amazing speaker and she brings warmth to every room she enters. You will not be disappointed if you choose her to officiate your wedding.

time to meet with us (twice) to go over the day and how we want the ceremony. She incorporated a 'love story' based on our responses and had interesting suggestions for to make it special for us. She also took care of mailing our marriage certificate! Thank you, Nancy!

ersonalized and represented us completely as a couple. Nancy has a very positive, yet calming energy and kept us grounded during the planning process. It can be hard to plan a ceremony when you don't have a close family friend or religious officiant that you grew up with, but Nancy is so kind and friendly that you feel you've known her forever. She even took the time to get to know our relationship so that she could include our "love story" in the ceremony. I highly recommend her if you want a perfect wedding that is uniquely yours!

She was willing to meet in person again if we wanted, but we did the rest of the planning via email, and she was very quick to respond to messages. It was very easy to formulate a ceremony draft with their ebook, and than Cara used her expertise to make sure it all flowed smoothly. I highly recommend answering the “Love Story” questions she offers as an option. It adds a very personal touch to the ceremony. We had many guests comment how unique and special it made our ceremony. I’m so glad we chose Cara to officiate our wedding. She’s experienced, professional, and so easy to work with!

Pat officiate our wedding ceremony. I highly recommend his services.

were looking for. Cara was great from the first email. We live out of state but Cara made herself readily available via email and phone calls. She made the whole process run smoothly, providing us as much or little guidance as we wanted. Choosing to participate in the "Love Story" was the best decision we made. Cara nailed it! People at our wedding thought she was a close friend or family member based on the way it added such a personal touch. On the actual wedding day, Cara helped calm any nerves and made the day so much fun! She took a genuine interest in us as a couple and radiated a loving, but not cheesy emotion during the ceremony. We could not have been any happier with the whole process and final outcome. Thank you Cara for making our wedding an event to cherish and remember for all the years to come. You have a true gift! Erin & Timmy

d what we wanted out of our wedding ceremony. He was very easy to work with and incredibly organized. He was able to make us feel at ease during such a stressful time. Allan takes care of the little things which allowed us to really enjoy the day! He made us feel incredibly special and we absolutely loved our ceremony! We highly recommend him! Megan & Michael 8.6.16

ate their ceremony their way. Allen organized the ceremony information and than met with us again to finalize details. I felt very confident with our ceremony. We worked through a little hiccup at the rehearsal but everything on the day of the wedding when great.

illing to talk with us on the phone and via email. We were most impressed with Jill during the rehearsal and day of because she commands a group very well, while being friendly and making things fun. During the rehearsal, I breathed a sigh of relief knowing we were in good hands.

ction and felt totally at ease with the process as we discussed how we hoped our wedding day and ceremony would run. Additionally, we felt it was important to do relationship/ marriage enrichment classes before we were married. Allan was able to provide us this service too. He guided us through four courses helping us discuss and consider topics, potential relationship obstacles and communication techniques that could help us in our future. While we were not sure what to expect we felt that this time and investment was one of the best things we did for us as a couple. When it came to planning the details Allan provided us with so many options and ideas that helped us customize our ceremony to fit our wedding style. He provided lots of suggestions, clarity and ultimately gave us confidence in our choices. When it came to our rehearsal and wedding day Allan was wonderful. Everything was right as we planned. He got our family and wedding party organized at the rehearsal so everyone knew their roles and ensured our vision came together. Then at the wedding he just put us at ease and led our ceremony just as we had planned it. It was so special and we could never thank him enough for making our wedding day perfect. We couldn’t recommend Allan enough for both an officiant and pre-marital classes. We are so happy with it all and know it couldn’t have gone that way without Allan! Rich & Amanda!
