We were so blessed to have been able to have Jennifer as our officiant this year. She is kind, professional, and wrote such a sweet, intimate and personal ceremony for us. You can tell how much she enjoys her work based on the amount of time, effort, and attention she puts into building the perfect ceremony. Our families couldn’t stop talking about how amazing it was the rest of the night! Our pre wedding sessions allowed her to really see who we were both individually, and as a couple. I simply cannot recommend her enough!!

Jennifer spent the time getting to know us in order to craft a very personal and sentimental wedding ceremony. Not only were her questions beneficial to the ceremony, but great points of reflection in our relationship as we were getting ready to take that next step. We had vague ideas of what we wanted our ceremony to look like and Jennifer had a plethora of options and examples to help us achieve exactly what we were looking for. We also had many people tell us afterwards that our ceremony was the best/most unique one they had ever been a part of. She's great in more ways than we can describe in a review and would recommend her to anyone.

Jennifer Hackenbruch

Owner

I am an Ordained Minister in Interfaith Ministries. I attended the New Seminary of Interfaith Studies in NYC and was ordained in June of 2008. I did not go to seminary to become a wedding officiant. After attending a workshop on creating wedding ceremonies I fell in love with the idea of joining couples in marriage. This work is more like play for me, even though I take it very seriously. Each person and couple is unique. One-size-fits-all approaches and ceremonies, do not work for me. Together we will develop custom ceremonies tailored to your one-of-a-kind uniqueness and needs.

Highlighted review.

Jennifer was amazing! My husband and I were extremely happy with the entire experience. Jennifer created a beautiful ceremony for us. Jennifer's expertise extends not only to the c...

eremony, but also to the sessions leading up to it. We did three sessions with her before the wedding day, where we got to know her and told her our story. She led us through some premarital counseling questions and helped us put together a ceremony that reflected us and our personalities. By the time of our wedding day, it felt like we had a friend standing with us and performing our ceremony. My husband and I are an interfaith couple, and Jennifer was so respectful and helped us create a ceremony that would honor both of us. She was also a tremendous help with the wedding rehearsal and directed it for us. I definitely recommend Jennifer! We could not be happier with the experience!

She asked us about our history, our goals, and some tough questions couples should discuss prior to marriage. All of these were critical in helping her round out our ceremony.

She is so kind, loving and knowledgeable. We felt totally at ease and impressed with our conversation. We wanted an outdoor wedding with our own vows and music. Together we worked out the details and our wedding was everything we could have hoped for. If you’re getting married and looking for a minister, we highly recommend Jennifer.

autiful ceremony that honored our values, distinct personalities, and goals for the wedding. She helped our ceremony ride the fine balance between ritual solemnity and goofy fun. She does an excellent job pulling together multiple visions, even if they are seemingly at odds. Ultimately we ended up with a ceremony that felt like a sweet, personal reflection of “us.” If you’re wanting an officiant who can help you navigate the plethora of possibilities for your ceremony, Jennifer is an excellent choice. We highly recommend her services.

She is warm, friendly, and personable. She is easy to talk to and really felt like a natural part of our wedding. We were skeptical about hiring a stranger, but couldn't be more pleased. She did a wonderful job and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding!

She was wonderful all throughout, calm, understanding, knowledgeable, creative and very pleasant to work with. She has a sort of easing, calming spirit about her. My now husband and I are both so thankful for all she did for us! You couldn’t and won’t find a better person to marry you :) Thank you again, Jennifer!

autiful ceremony. Almost more than the ceremony itself, we appreciated our sessions with Jennifer leading up to our wedding where she asked us questions and helped us reflect on our relationship, past, present, and future. Amid all of the busyness of wedding planning, it was so special to have a few hours to appreciate each other and feel excited about the future together. And when it came time to create the ceremony, you could tell that she used our time together to create something that reflected who were are as individuals and a couple. If you are looking for a special, unique, and thoughtful ceremony I would highly recommend Jennifer!

Haleigh I

Jennifer with Simplicity in Spirit helped make our wedding so special! My husband and myself are from Florida and our destination wedding in Sandpoint, Idaho on Schweitzer mountain...

was absolutely perfect for us, all of our vendors were just so amazing. Jennifer was with us from the beginning helping create a wonderful ceremony reading and memory that I would say was 10/10. We met with her on several virtual meetings that were flexible to meet our schedules and the three hour time difference during the process! She was incredibly professional and personable all at the same time. This was beyond expectations to be able to connect with her, being that the standard from my husbands family was not having our great aunt (who married all of his brothers) not officiating due to location. She made our day so special and also provided some pre martial counseling questions that helped us prepare for more than just the momentary event ahead, lifelong advice and stories were shared. I will leave the rest of the wonderful surprises she gave us throughout the process up to you when you book her as your officiant!

for both of us. Jennifer is kind, confident, and radiates a peaceful presence. She has a natural gift for guiding couples throughout the premarital counseling and wedding ceremony in such a way that it's clear she was meant to do this. She was a wish come true. We were impressed with her from the first time we spoke and it was truly a blessing to have her as our officiant. She created such a unique and tender ceremony for our special day and it meant so, so much to us. One of the things that makes her so special is her genuine love for people and magical gift for making a wedding even more beautiful than you could've dreamed. She was perfect for us, an absolute joy, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. If you are considering hiring a wedding officiant, you can't go wrong with Jennifer. She's incredible!

dding. First of all, Jennifer is open minded. We felt that our genuine needs were respected. She is so open to hearing what her clients have in mind for their wedding. She is also helpful. She doesn’t' leave you on your own. She had plenty of guidance suggestions and examples to choose from when selecting your ceremony details. She is direct, safe, and wise. One fascinating part to Jennifer's service is her interview process. It is lengthy, deep, and detailed. My husband and I felt more in love after each interview, and we walked away from these interviews with a better understanding of each other and the commitment we were about to make. You cannot go wrong with Jennifer. She's the best!

When we were up there, saying our vows, I truly felt like we had a friend there supporting us. My now husband and I still talk about Jennifer and how much we loved her. We wish she offered marriage counseling and couples therapy! She was so calm and centered in the moment. Attention to detail and communication were on point. We will be reaching out to her to renew our vows when the time comes!

Amy A

If I could give Jennifer two reviews, I would, because she married my husband and I twice. In 2018, my fiance's mother suffered a stroke. She was moved to hospice on a Thursday. We...

felt that we wanted her to be there for our wedding. We were able to obtain a marriage license the next day but needed someone to officiate. The nurse at the hospice had suggested the Chaplin there. We reached out to Jennifer and she met with us that evening. She navigated us through a sea of emotions and overnight, put together a perfect and personal ceremony. We were married that Saturday in mom's hospice room. We lost her the next day. A year later, we had a traditional wedding. We could think of no one better than Jennifer to see us through the ceremony again. This time, she was able to provide counseling prior to the wedding. Our discussions were incredibly thought-provoking, and as much as I knew about my husband, I learned more. We were faced with tough questions in the best way possible. We flew Jennifer from Idaho to Ohio to perform our second wedding. She put together an entirely new ceremony for us. And again, it was just perfect and tailored to us. We can't thank her enough for being part of this complicated journey.

Heather M

From our initial meeting to our wedding day, working with Jennifer was a dream come true! We did not know Jennifer prior to finding her website, but by the end of our wedding plann...

ing adventure we felt like Jennifer truly had a sense of who we were as a couple. People often ask for wedding planning advice and every time my recommendation is to put time and energy into crafting your ceremony. This is exactly what Jennifer’s service provides through the pre-marital counseling sessions. Each session was meant for Jennifer to get to know my husband and I better as individuals and as a couple. These session were by far my husband and my favorite part of our wedding planning experience! Each session truly brought us closer together and helped Jennifer to craft the perfect ceremony that was personalized and meaningful. Our wedding day was hands down the best day of our lives. Jennifer's professionalism and attention to detail in every aspect of the ceremony had all of our guests in awe. If you’re looking for a wedding officiant, we highly recommend Jennifer!

Travelling into the woods, Jennifer rode in our friends side by side up the mountain where we tied the knot in front of beautiful Lake Pend Oreille.

As soon as we met Jennifer, we knew she would be an excellent officiant for our big day. She was warm, friendly, humorous, and accommodating of our hectic schedule and the commute ...

distance. Jennifer got to know each of us by asking great, deep questions about our relationship and families. Surprisingly, my fiancee and I even learned new things about each other's childhoods. Jennifer gave us superb marriage advice and guidance along the way, easing our nerves and anxiety about the wedding preparations and next steps on our journey. We talked for hours like old friends until a ceremony speech was ready. She listened to what we wanted and envisioned for our day and she made it possible. My husband and I envisioned tying a sailor's knot as a nod to his passion for sailing and the obvious "tying the knot" reference. Jennifer wasn't familiar with the significance of this particular knot but she did research and incorporated our wishes flawlessly into the ceremony. We got to read over the script and make adjustments and comments until it was perfect. Jennifer's warm heart and spirit gave our wedding all the love and happiness we could have ever asked for. She was a blessing to have as part of our day.
