Rev. Jill was an amazing officiant for our wedding. She totally embraced our non-traditional ceremony and made our day feel so special. She’s professional and personable at the same time. You can tell she loves what she does. Couldn’t recommend her enough.

Reverend Jill officiated our wedding yesterday, and she was amazing! It started to snow in the middle of the ceremony and she was an absolute trooper! She incorporated so many personal sentiments into the ceremony and I got endless compliments of her service. You absolutely cannot go wrong with booking her! I wish she could be my pastor every day.

We were super hesitant to book a Reverend as we are not religious, yet as soon as we met Rev. Jill that all changed.
Rev. Jill is one of the kindest humans ever, she was great to work with before the wedding and then day of she just blew everyone away.
She had everyone laughing and crying during the ceremony. All guests, regardless of religious preferences came up to us afterwards just raving about Rev. Jill's ceremony.
Our day absolutely would not have been as special if Rev. Jill was not apart of it, we are so grateful that she was the one that married us <3

We were so glad to have picked Reverend Jill to officiate our nondenominational microwedding at Spence Cabin! Our family absolutely gushed about Rev Jill, how much they enjoyed the ceremony, and how warm Rev Jill was. My husband's mother actually asked to take a picture of Rev Jill's script after the wedding because of how much she loved the ceremony I can say all the vendors we worked with also had great things to say about Rev JIll and I can see why-- our ceremony was fabulous, she had great communication through our wedding planning process and was genuinely kind and went above and beyond to make sure we had a fabulous wedding ceremony. Would highly recommend!

I would give Rev Jill 7 stars if I could. We met with her to plan our ceremony, and she asked us a few questions to get a sense of what we wanted, and I could tell that we clicked and that she would be perfect. I was adamant about having a non-religious ceremony, and Rev Jill had plenty of material to appease both me and my more traditional family members who expected a traditional service. She sent us a draft of the ceremony weeks in advance for us to review and gave us recommendations about what to include when we weren’t sure what we wanted to do. When we were unsure of what to do on ceremony day, she was confident and led us through everything. We got so many compliments on the ceremony, with many people saying it was the most beautiful they had ever witnessed.

Rev Jill helped articulate the perfect ceremony. We got to speak to her prior to the wedding on multiple occasions to get a better idea on how the ceremony readings will be, how to easily apply for the marriage certificate, and to help relieve any stress that there is, and this is coming from a bride with terrible anxiety lol. She has an incredible personality and we all laughed so much at the alter. She brings everything you imagine to life. She also allows you to modify the ceremony script to your liking. She is very accepting towards LGBTQ+ and created a great bond with guests. She made the whole process smooth. Thank you Rev Jill!

Reverand Jill is absolutely amazing!
My husband and I come from relatively religious families and upbringings but our no longer practicing ourselves so we wanted a ceremony that would make our family and us happy. Rev Jill provided us with an amazing, beautiful, heartfelt ceremony that made all of us happy!
Rev Jill took the time to get to know my husband and I and our families. She was open to us doing a hand fasting ceremony and everything was truly just perfect. She made our ceremony feel special and unique to us.
We also did the pre-marital counselling course she offered, and it was easy and beneficial for us!
So many happy tears were shed on our wedding day thanks to Rev Jills help! She even helped bustle my wedding dress! She's truly such a kind person and I'm so glad I chose her to help us celebrate our love.

Rev. Jill was wonderful! We met with a few other officiants (who all ended up having other commitments on the date of our wedding) before we found Rev. Jill, and we’re so glad that in the end we were able to book her as our officiant. She met with us to get to know us as a couple prior to the wedding and then wrote a beautiful ceremony script for us that was personalized and unique. She was so easy to work with and very communicative. She was friendly and funny, and made the ceremony exactly how we’d always imagined.

Jill was spectacular!! She met with us pre-wedding to get a sense of our story and customized our ceremony accordingly. That meeting alone reassured us that we made the best decision hiring her for our special day. She had us smiling and laughing so hard that my cheeks were sore for days. Our wedding ceremony had some cute hiccups that she navigated flawlessly and had our guests laughing too! Then, she was called to a wedding down the road and saved the day for another couple whose officiant was too sick to perform their wedding. Jill is amazing!!!

She was so understanding that we didn’t want any religion brought up and came back with the most personal ceremony I could have asked for. My whole family still hasn’t stopped talking about how beautiful it was and how perfectly it reflected our relationship. We will forever be grateful for her and cherish the day she made possible!!

Rev. Jill was absolutely amazing. From when I found her by tirelessly looking for a reverend that suited my needs and seem actually dedicated to her career. Since we’re from Chicago, we didn’t know really what to do so found her online, she was soooo quick to respond! Eventually we chatted via FaceTime to get to know one another, her humor was amazing and ability to impress was outstanding. She didn’t judge, she didn’t offer her opinion unless asked and was open to adding as many or as little religion pieces in. Then we the wedding came she came earlier than the ceremony, came to check on me, meet everyone, ask if she can grab me anything, and just wanted to help! People were saying she was helping set the table! I mean come on! She truly went above and beyond! The ceremony went sooooo well, she cracked a joke when appropriate and actually made everyone laugh and cry. Rev. Jill was truly incredible. If you’re looking for someone who will add none to a lot of religion into their ceremony, add a spice of humor, get along with everyone, and be very detailed and helpful when planning. Go with Rev. Jill, I promise you will NOT regret it.

Rev Jill is absolutely amazing! She officiated our small, intimate elopement at an Airbnb in the smoky mountains. From the time we first contacted her, she was quick to respond via text or email. We had a couple skype calls with her and then she authored an amazing ceremony script for us to review. The whole thing was very smooth and one of the easiest parts of wedding planning!
Jill was very accommodating and was willing to travel to our Airbnb in Tallassee. After the ceremony, each one of our guests commented how it was the best ceremony they had been to! They felt like she had known us for many months because the ceremony was so perfect for us. Jill is so well spoken and did a great job incorporating our wishes into the ceremony. We wanted a friend to do a reading and Jill's ceremony incorporated it beautifully. BOOK JILL NOW! You will not regret it :)

Jill was absolutely amazing. My husband and I keep talking about how beautiful our ceremony was. It’s all we can talk about. She blew us away. I had a vision of what it would feel like, but it was more special than I could’ve ever imagined. Jill was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She was everything we wanted and more. Not only does the ceremony draft make you tear up, but wait until you hear her say it at the altar on the big day. She will take your breath away and leave all your guests crying happy tears. All of our guests were asking who she was and complimenting her speaking style and our ceremony immediately following the ceremony. People are still reaching out to us wanting to share their story of how our ceremony made them feel. That speaks volumes in my book. She is amazing at what she does. She is also professional, funny, and very prompt with her responses. Do not hesitate to hire her. She will be the best decision you make. We love Jill!

Rev Jill is absolutely AMAZING! Our guests have been raving over our ceremony for days, many saying it was the best they’ve ever witnessed. It was the perfect mix of tradition and personality; exactly what we were looking for. We only met once before the big day, but she knew the perfect questions to ask about our relationship. She turned our casual conversation into an eloquent love story. Rev Jill was also incredibly helpful logistically - responding to questions quickly and helping us every step of the way. She even managed to make me feel relaxed right before the ceremony (who even knew that was possible?). We would recommend her for whatever you’re looking for - she can do it all!

I found Rev. Jill on Wedding Wire and I couldn't be happier with my choice! When I first spoke with her she was so pleasant and had such a nice sense of humor which my fiance and I loved. She took the time to get to know us and asked of plenty of questions about how we met and how we felt about one another. We even had to postpone our wedding date due to COVID-19 but thank goodness she was still available for our new date. On our wedding day, our ceremony was absolutely perfect. The blessings that she performed and the wonderful things she said about our relationship was so fitting for us and we are so happy that she was a part of our big day. If you are looking for an officiant look no further since Rev. Jill is the best you could get. She is patient, kind, and such a pleasure to be around. Our guests loved the ceremony she performed and are still talking about how great she was. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her again in the future for anything we may need!

Our other officiant recommended Jill to us and we couldn't have been happier with Jill. She performed a beautiful ceremony, made us feel extremely comfortable (telling me to take deep breaths during our vows LOL), and I received so many compliments on how amazing the ceremony was. Jill absolutely saved the day for us during our time of need. She was extremely helpful with planning the ceremony and the steps we needed to take after the wedding. I highly recommend her to anyone searching for an officiant!

From the moment my husband and I video conferenced with Jill, we knew she was the perfect fit for our ceremony. She was so attentive and down to earth, it felt like we were talking to someone we had known forever. She was a great support system and helped talk us through so how to make the ceremony personal. Knowing that we wanted a hand-fasting unity ceremony, she was all in and made us all the more excited for our big day. All of the different pieces of our ceremony puzzle fell so easily into place and felt so truly special. So many family and friends came to us after our ceremony raving about how much they "Loved the ceremony and how well spoken Jill was". We could not be more thankful to have had her apart of the process and the wedding day.

Rev Jill Dillner did an amazing job officiating our wedding day. Her ceremony was heartfelt and truly captured our love. Everybody was commenting how lovely the ceremony was and people couldn’t believe Jill wasn’t a close family friend. Not only did Jill do a great job with our ceremony she was so helpful leading up to the big day. She was so easy to talk to and made us feel like we were all good friends. She was so helpful with guiding us in getting all the necessary paperwork done to make our marriage legal. Rev Jill Dillner is the best and will be the best decision to you make for your wedding!

Probably one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day was picking Jill! From the moment we met her we knew she was the one! She listened to what we wanted and took the time to get to know us as a couple, and by doing that our ceremony was so personal. Her words were perfect and incorporated everything that was important to us. It was such a privilege having Jill marry us! If I could give more stars I would! Throughout the entire process she kept in touch with us, and was always available. Look no further, Jill is amazing! Our families and friends couldn't stop raving about how great our ceremony was because of her!

We received a recommendation for Rev Jill 2 months prior to our wedding date after previous arrangements did not work out. There we were in a panic when we met with Rev Jill and she could not have been a more calming soul to ease us that our wedding day would be amazing and she wasn't wrong. Our wedding guests and friends LOVED her and we were receiving compliments moments after being pronounced husband and wife. Everything was better than we could have imagined and came together perfectly thanks to Rev Jill!

I had searched far and wide for an officiant that could do a traditional handfasting ceremony. All of my leads were dead ends until I found Rev Jill on an old website and started googling to find her. We were so lucky that not only was she still practicing, but was available and very excited about my partner and I’s wants for our ceremony. In only a few meetings, Rev Jill delivered a ceremony that completely captured my partner and I and there was not a dry eye in a sea of 90 people. It was so relaxed and her words resonated in such a way that my partner and I were so present to one another. We incorporated several traditions, some Roman Catholic, some Greek Orthodox and most importantly, Celtic traditions by having a handfasting ceremony. We cannot explain the experience Rev Jill created but it was seamless and genuine. We are eternally grateful to have found her.

I am so glad we chose Rev. Jill to officiate our wedding! We were looking for someone who could flawlessly intertwine some religious aspects into a mostly secular wedding, and she absolutely delivered. We met Rev. Jill only once before our wedding, but she was able to make our ceremony so personal and special. Our family members are still talking about how great she was. She was thoughtful, accommodating, heartfelt, humourous and made us feel comfortable every step of the way. She made a great effort to get to know us and what we wanted, and it showed in our ceremony. Thank you, Rev. Jill, for helping to make our wedding day perfect!

Hiring Jill as our officiant was one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. Working with her was a pleasure - she is so professional and charming. We first met her via skype and instantly felt at ease with her and loved her warmth. We then met in person 7 months before our wedding and had a really fun conversation getting to know each other. She then crafted an incredibly beautiful and meaningful ceremony and worked with us to make edits until it was exactly what we we envisioned. On the day of the wedding, she helped the venue and our bridal party with coordination and then flawlessly executed the ceremony. She seamlessly blends meaningful messages and rituals with humor throughout the ceremony. She was just so charming! We can't recommend her enough; she is so worth every penny.

We love Rev Jill!!! We knew as soon as we first spoke to her that she would be the person to marry us. She kept things light and funny during an otherwise stressful time. Most importantly, she not only made us feel comfortable, but our families as well. Our guests raved about her afterwards and a couple of engaged couples even asked for her contact info. We can't wait to renew our vows so we can see her again!

Jill came recommended to us from our photographers, who told us after meeting with us that she would be the best "fit" for our style and personalities. Jill was even better than we could have imagined!
She knew just the right questions to ask to suss out all our romantic inner feelings, and the ceremony she wrote was just beautiful. She was extremely flexible about adapting the ceremony and also giving us options (we found so many things we didn't even know we wanted). We had guest after guest coming up to us saying how wonderful it was, and we definitely saw some tears being shed.
Jill was wonderful about working with all our special requests, and was a wealth of knowledge and experience about the marriage license process. We were impressed by how capable she was, and how she took charge and took care of everything.
The entire planning process went perfectly, and the day of was flawless. We could not have asked for a better combination of warmth and humor in an officiant.

My husband and I knew from our first meeting with her that we wanted to work with Jill. Jill is personable, funny, and willing to put in the effort to make sure the ceremony is exactly what we were looking for. We were initially a bit nervous about looking for a non-religious ceremony because we didn’t know what our options were, but the ceremony was extraordinarily beautiful and personal. She listened to the comments we made and the details we wanted to include, and radiated an aura of calm that helped us tremendously the day of. Jill was on top of all the details, and at the end of the day our guests kept telling us how beautiful the ceremony was. The ceremony was a healthy mix of laughter and tears, and I am so grateful to her for it.

Because we were having a mixed Christian/Jewish ceremony Rev. Jill was so accommodating in meeting with us and our Cantor. Our guests believed that she and the Cantor had previously worked together in the past because they blended so well. She was a pleasure to work with and was prompt returning our calls, texts and answering our questions quickly. Her fees were also very reasonable. We are so glad we chose her for our special day.

We really can't say enough good things about Rev. Jill Dillner. She was easygoing and attentive right from the start. She worked closely with us to mold our ceremony to fit us as individuals and as a whole. Believe it or not, she had our guests crying and belly laughing. They're still reminding us about how incredible the ceremony was -- many of which said it was hands down the best ceremony they've ever attended. Rev. Jill made an impromptu remark about my Dad being present when the sun (finally!) made an appearance as I was walking down the aisle -- that meant the world and I'll never forget it. She was emotionally supportive on our wedding day as she knew I was struggling with the changed plans due to rain. She kept me calm and showed me photos of the (now indoor) ceremony space. We knew Rev. Jill was a perfect fit for us from the very first phone call because she listened intently, asked meaningful questions and assured us she would be able to perform a non-religious ceremony that was both beautiful and light-hearted. Oh yeah, and she didn't bat an eye when my husband decided he wanted us to write our own vows a week before the wedding. She's the best of the best and you'd be lucky to have her perform your ceremony!

Jill was wonderful, She had officiated my sister and brother-in-law's elopement and it meant so much to me to have that connection the day of our wedding. She helped us write the perfect nondenominational ceremony which included our own personal touch (we got SO many compliments on our ceremony!). She also had a great temperament and made the ceremony feel very casual and intimate, keeping things light when my nephew started fussing and keeping our guests smiling the whole time. Also, right before I walked down the aisle I started feeling super nervous and was having trouble calming down (I don't like talking in front of a lot of people), a bunch of family came rushing over to help which was making it worse, Jill did an amazing job in blocking everyone off and just letting her and my dad take a moment to calm me down. I highly recommend her!!

Rev. Jill officiated our wedding in June 2018, and was wonderful! We loved her calming presence before the wedding while everyone was trying to get ready and the families had lots of ceremony questions! So many guests commented how beautiful the ceremony was, and how it was unique and personalized to us. This is exactly what we were hoping for, and we were so happy with the outcome!

We got engaged on December 22, 2017, and knew that we wanted to get married in early June 2018. We booked our venue in Spring Lake and now we needed to research for an officiant for our ceremony. Luck was on our side…Rev. Jill Dillner was not booked for Friday, June 1st. When I met with Rev. Jill for the first time in January, I had a very nice conversation with her that put me at ease and I knew that both my fiancé and I would want to have someone that would keep us calm throughout the ceremony. My fiancé later met with Jill and was equally impressed. Jill was helpful in sending samples of different vows and readings that we could choose from and gave us some very good suggestions. After our meeting, Jill put a draft together of the Ceremony set up and she really did a wonderful job capturing both our personalities. We wanted to have a more modern feel instead of the traditional format. Our family and friends were incredibly impressed with the heartfelt ceremony, commenting that Jill had a very refreshing way of talking about the bond of marriage...creating a unique and happy moment for everyone in attendance. The ceremony was important to us and we wanted someone who was kindhearted, thoughtful and easygoing to marry us on such a happy day. Jill, we would like to thank you for creating such a beautiful moment for us, which we will remember for the rest of our lives. Elia and Dan :)

You pick the venue you know your colors but then there is the MOST important person to choose ... who is going to marry you and make it official ?!?
That’s when we met Rev.Jill.. her warmth and humor and her modern approach made us fall in love with her on our first Skype call. We knew she was the only person who could give us the ceremony we wanted ! By the end of the call we felt like we had just hung up with a friend we had known for years.
Rev. Jill took the time to learn our story and to understand what it was we were looking for in a ceremony.
Throughout our wedding planning process she was always available to answer any questions or just to laugh , dream, and be excited right along with us!
We were married June 9, 2018 at The Bradford Estate. Rev. Jill delivered the most beautiful romantic ceremony. She involved our parents , bridal party , and two year old daughter and created a beautiful wine unity. It was flawless! She was our rock and our light of the day. Our guest can not stop raving about how amazing she is and we couldn’t agree more.
She was our first official text as husband and wife that we sent out the next morning because she’s just that awesome and we already missed her!
If you are getting married Rev. Jill is the person you want ! One phone call and you will see why!
From the bottom of our hearts THANK YOU ! Xoxoxoxo Mr and Mrs Hoffman

BOOK REV. JILL AS YOUR OFFICIANT! Let me explain.... The moment that my husband and I met Jill, we immediately felt at east and comfortable. She asked us about our story, how we met, etc. She incorporates these personalized details into the ceremony. We loved her personality upon meeting her: she is dynamic, warm, and funny. Leading up to the day, she was always great at responding to e-mails. We wanted to incorporate some Catholic & Jewish traditions into the ceremony, which she was happy to include. She was super flexible with everything we asked and wrote up an amazing ceremony draft. The draft was sent to us a month before the wedding, so we had plenty of time to look it over. Honestly, there were no changes that had to be made, because the draft itself was so great! On days leading up until the wedding, Jill checked in with us to see how we were doing. On the actual wedding day, she made it a point to introduce herself to our friends and family. She was a calming force throughout and made us feel at ease. The actual ceremony was SO AMAZING. We got A TON of compliments on the ceremony and Jill. We had family members saying they want to get married again just to have her officiate. Out of every detail of our wedding, we definitely got the most compliments on the ceremony. Jill is worth every single penny, and if you want to start your marriage off in a meaningful way, please book her.

We recently used Rev. Jill Dillner for our ceremony, and everyone absolutely loved her. We received rave reviews about the ceremony, and already had someone ask us for her information for a future wedding. The ceremony was exactly what we pictured and loved the unity ceremony we all selected, the fisherman’s knot. Rev. Jill was responsive throughout the process and made sure we had everything we needed to prepare for the ceremony.
The one issue we had was with the ceremony draft. She shared the ceremony draft with us about 2 weeks prior to the big day. I had some edits, including correcting names of family members that are no longer with us and adding a paragraph that was close to our hearts that explained our unity ceremony. She confirmed receiving the updated draft; however, at the ceremony, she did not read the revised copy. In the grand scheme of things, only my husband and I, and a few family members were aware of the mistakes, but it was a little disappointing to hear the wrong names read of our past loved ones.
I would recommend Rev. Jill. She was very fun, and made the ceremony light, but serious and important at the same time. We had a beautiful ceremony! We are very grateful for her services.

5 stars can’t even come close to rating Jill! She is amazing! Super accommodating and easy to work with! She was able to make meeting with her super easy and convenient for us and our crazy schedules. We met close to home and closed the restaurant down just talking and getting to know each other. We clicked immediately. In just those few hours she really got a feel for who we were as individuals and as a
couple. She created the most beautiful ceremony ever and our guests are still raving. Her ideas for unique unity ceremonies and ways to include things we wanted were awesome. We did a wine unity and it was super fun and a modern take on a wedding tradition. All around you CAN NOT go wrong with Jill. Having her a part of your day is assured to make your moment special and the whole experience easy, stress free and fun! We thank her from the bottom our our hearts!
