Small Circles Ceremonies: Ceremonies that matter.

s our officiant. From there, our email communication began, and again, we knew we had made the right choice. After that, we all met in person, which was the final stamp of approval for Matt and me, knowing we would have a lovely ceremony. We felt like Jen truly captured the essence of Matt and I’s relationship. It felt like we had known Jen for years, not just someone we had met a few weeks prior. She got to know the authentic us, and that’s how our ceremony also came across to our loved ones. I can go on and on about how fabulous Jen is, but that still wouldn’t be enough. With all our hearts, THANK YOU, JEN, for being who you are and giving us the wedding ceremony of our dreams.

ing about how amazing our ceremony was! And it really was amazing! Jen did an incredible job crafting a ceremony that felt true to us. She was a great resource throughout the planning process and always gave us the best advice. She made our ceremony (and wedding) feel incredibly special and momentous. Her talent, wisdom, and expertise in ceremony are simply unmatched and we are incredibly grateful that Jen played such an integral role in making our wedding day so wonderful!

te vows to them, made this an incredibly memorable ceremony and there wasn't a dry eye present. Thank you so much Jen for all of the effort you put into making our wedding incredible.

to really get to know us and our story, and that resulted in the most beautiful, personalized ceremony that felt so true to who we are. I still can't believe how much she hit the nail on the head after only knowing us for a few short months. She also gave us resources to write our own vows which was a blessing to me because my husband is a song writer and I knew he would set the bar high. Jen was so much more than just an officiant. She was really a grounding point for us the day of the wedding and I couldn't be more appreciative of her for being there for us. Thank you Jen!!

lp us write our vows. We ended up choosing some of her pre written “I do” questions for our ceremony. We chose a bilingual ceremony & she did it beautifully. Could not recommend her enough.

with her was so much fun and it felt like we had known her forever. She really helped us open up in order to really capture our love story. She is a great communicator, gives great feedback and has a pretty quick turn around time with things. We cannot stress enough how amazing she is at her work.

t FEEL how invested and in-tune Jen is. She fully gets to know you and your partner, your story, and every hope, dream and wish you have for the most magical day of your life. Jen is truly a gifted speaker, weaving words together that flow like a river. Literally everyone at our wedding came up to us and told us how our ceremony "wasn't just a ceremony, it was an EXPERIENCE!" We just cannot say enough about how wonderful she is. We felt utterly safe, held, known and loved by her. Thank you Jen!

re we actually got married. When my husband and I walked away from the first time we met her, we both said “she’s it, she’s the one” She was so free spirited, warm and inviting. We felt like we could’ve sat at that coffee shop all day and just talk with her. After we officially booked her, the amount of information she sent us for preparation was unlike anything I’ve seen before. She makes sure you are included - from questions just to get to know who we are, to a structure to help us write our vows - she had everything covered. She truly wants you to help write your love story, so we were able to customize bits and pieces. Fast forward to our actual wedding day - she greeted us with huge hugs and we could tell she was genuinely so happy for us - for someone she’s met once. We have been to many weddings - so we were kind of expecting this to be “do you take this man, for better or worse, blah blah blah” - and it was nothing like that. At all. Our ceremony was so beautifully written and well spoken that our parents are still talking about it a month later. The readings she chose, her transitions with words, and how she presents herself are all unlike any other. She was way more than we ever expected in so many ways. To Jen - thank you so much for being someone who elevated our day to the next level. Your words are something we stored in our memories and will forever think back on. You were able to capture our story and relationship beautifully. You made our day so much better than we ever imagined it being. Thank you - for doing what you do. You truly have a gift and we are so lucky you shared it with us. All our love (and good juju ;)) The Fraziers

a and they raved about our ceremony. Thank you for helping make our wedding day sentimental and full of belly laughs.

oking for. Someone we could trust, welcome and share our journey with. Thank you, Jen for the wonderful experience. I hope we find ourselves in need of a special cermony in the future.

, tailored to us, and just the right length. She met and spoke with us multiple times ahead of the wedding, created the perfect custom ceremony, supported us and edited our wedding vows, attended our rehearsal, and even went above and beyond to accommodate us and sign our marriage certificate after the ceremony (we dropped the ball and didn't get the license ahead of the wedding). Jen over delivered and completely exceeded our expectations in every way. She is a true professional and such a lovely, down to earth person. I can't possibly say enough nice things. Thank you Jen!

le. We come from very different religious and cultural backgrounds but she chased after those details and wove together a truly beautiful ceremony. It honored who we were as individuals, as a loving couple, and the community that has and continues to nurture us. We especially loved that she included parts of the ceremony in Spanish and was happy to incorporate themes and poetry that was special for us. It was a perfect day and so much of it was thanks to Jen. DO recommend!

our officiant. Working with her was my favorite part of the wedding planning process. All the other parts of wedding planning can be very stressful but communicating with Jen reminded me of what was really important…. I was going to marry the love of my life! Jen sends a questionnaire of 34 questions so she can understand both of yall as a couple. The questionnaire she sent us seemed like a lot at first but we loved answering all the questions. It was a deep dive into our relationship. It helped Jen truly know us and helped her create a ceremony that represented us perfectly. The couple times we met with her were great! As someone with a little bit of anxiety (especially during all the wedding planning!!), I trusted her and I trusted her process. After the ceremony, everyone was telling me how awesome Jen was. I think I heard more compliments about her than my dress LOL. And I totally understand why. Jen set such a great tone and really made everyone feel part of the ceremony. The ceremony was not your traditional religious ceremony but even the religious people loved it…even though it was non-religious, it was very respectable and drew everyone in. I had so many people tell me it was the best wedding ceremony they have ever witnessed. I asked Jen for a copy of the words spoken at the ceremony and was expecting just the text in an email but no…it was a beautiful PDF document. It was so organized from the font she picked and a simple but beautiful mountain image. We plan to print it out and place it in a special binding! Here are some shots of Jen during our ceremony in our wedding video (around 4:35 time mark): https://vimeo.com/736631928 Stop your officiant searching and contact Jen right now!!

easy. On the wedding day, she was grounded and helped keep my fiancé and I calm and present during the ceremony. The custom ceremony she put together was exactly what we had imagined, even better. Also, we had multiple guests ask if we had known her for years, since it was so perfectly us. Along with a number of other compliments. Thank you Jen!

ually. She respected all of our wishes related to the ceremony while guiding and giving us tips based on her expertise. We couldn’t recommend her more! The actual ceremony and words were perfect. She really captured our vision. Thank you Jen!

was without question our favorite part of the day. It was spectacular. Jen did a fantastic job preparing us for what to expect, leading us through the vow writing process, and then during the ceremony, grounding us in the moment. We felt prepared, excited, and surrounded by love and support. Our guests all LOVED the ceremony as well. I was blown away by how many people shared how authentic, honest, and heartful the ceremony was. People kept asking how we knew Jen, thinking she was an old friend. When I shared we'd only known Jen a few months, our guests almost didn't believe it. Weeks later they’re still raving about the ceremony… and more importantly, my now husband and I continue to cherish it. The power of our ceremony is a testament to Jen’s expertise and professionalism, and the process she’s developed to get to know couples and share their stories. She’ll help you make what could easily be one of the most nerve racking parts of your wedding day - reading your vows - a celebration of love and commitment. She’s also totally flexible, so if you don’t want to write your own vows, no problem, she has plenty of written resources to choose from. Is Jen the right officiant for you? Take a look at her website, and if it resonates, yes she is. Her ceremony will bring the meaning and significance of your relationship, and commitment to one another, to life, so that you can celebrate in a way that’s significant to you. Jen is the best. I’d totally do a vow renewal in 10 years just to have her officiate another ceremony for us. I’m glad you found her.

rds so well that I felt like she has known us for years! Our guests could not stop asking us where we found her and how she created it. There was not a dry eye in the entire venue (including the photographers!) Jen made sure to include us in every decision of the ceremony, including who we wanted to honor and the different traditions we wanted to infuse into it. She made us feel closer to our family and friends and created a beautiful place for us to say our I dos. Jen even helped us by giving us a list of I dos and guidance on writing our vows to make the process as stress less as possible. I don't know what we would have done without Jen. Her words made our wedding the most special day. Whatever you do, book Jen for your wedding or any other ceremony. You will not be disappointed.

e time to get to know you and your partner, and really go above and beyond for your big day, then Jen is exactly who you should get to officiate your wedding. I cannot say enough beautiful words about Jen. We knew right away that we did not want a standard cookie-cutter wedding ceremony. Our wedding was special to us and we wanted a ceremony that would reflect that. We met with a few other officiants and no one had the same fit like Jen. She is so personable, charismatic, and an overall wonderful person. We spent just over an hour in our first meeting; most of which was spent just getting to know each other and talking as if we were old friends. She let us know that she was able to provide a bilingual ceremony which was our highest priority and that not only would she tailor the ceremony to us but that she was going to spend her time getting to know us before the wedding. She sent us very thorough questionnaires to help her understand our journey, we met in person so she could see our dynamic, and she checked in with us multiple times before the wedding which eased our minds completely. The wedding ceremony was so special and monumental we cannot describe how beautifully Jen's words captivated our story, our journey, and the adventures still ahead.Because she took the time to get to truly know us, it felt as though a friend was officiating our wedding. On our one month anniversary she sent us a follow up check in to see how we were doing and to send us a digital copy of the ceremony so we can have it forever. Re-reading her words brought back all the emotions from our big day and filled us with so much joy. I am so happy that we chose Jen to officiate, I could not imagine anyone else marrying us!

nd with how warm and welcoming she was and how many personal touches she included in the ceremony. Jen far exceeded our expectations and the words she prepared were beautiful!

as little support in creating our vows and having a voice in our ceremony as we wanted. Through ritual and spoken words, she created the most beautiful, intimate ceremony and space during our small, mountain wedding and we couldn’t be more grateful for her.

reat it was to see us married by someone who really knew us as individuals and as a couple - because Jen took the time to get to know us and our love story. She made us laugh and smile and made us cry at the altar - her ceremony was captivating and so incredibly moving. Jen is and always will be someone we consider a close and personal friend - someone we can sit with and drink coffee (or tea for her) under heat lamps outside in winter and talk about sewing and animals and what she acts like when she drinks coffee. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Jen, for your unconditional love and support. Thank you for everything you did to make our wedding ceremony one of a kind and unique. We LOVE you!

ly wanted to find someone that we felt a connection to and after reading about her, we felt this was definitely the right match. We met with her on a video call to get to know each other and she gracefully worked in our story into the ceremony. She gave us lots of freedom to choose how to design our ceremony, and provided a wonderful guide to help us write our own vows. The most amazing part was that she did an incredible job helping us do part of our ceremony in Italian. Her Italian was beautiful, semplicemente bellissima! We were so happy we could incorporate this special element into our wedding day. She has a unique way of bringing everyone together in the moment and making everyone in attendance feel like they are really part of the ceremony and a meaningful part of our commitment to each other too. So many of our guests said they loved how different and beautiful it was to feel that connection. Jen was very caring and attentive to our needs, especially the day of! The simple, quick reminders to breathe, be present and hydrate were so very helpful on a very busy day. Grazie mille per tutto! Thank you for everything!

had really been struggling to find an officiant who would write an custom ceremony that was feminist, non-religious, but reverent. Jen came highly recommended by our photographer (also, fabulous) and I am so grateful I found her. The ceremony she wrote was *chef's kiss* perfect with lighthearted moments and beautiful reflections on life. She worked with us to create the ceremony and you could absolutely tell in almost everything she wrote. We also used her help and worksheet for writing vows. I think this made both my partner and I much more comfortable with what we wrote, and much less likely to procrastinate. I highly recommend this. Not only was her script beautiful, but her presentation of said script, and presence alone was perfect. I am so glad to have met her and had her be part of our wedding. She truly made the day as well as helped set the tone for our future.

pandemic hit and we had to cancel, Jen was very flexible in however we wanted to proceed. We weren't sure for a while, and eventually decided we just wanted to elope. We asked Jen if she could do it on such short notice, not really expecting her to say "yes"—but she did! She wrote up a shorter revised script, and gave us a really magical ceremony. We loved getting married, and our family really enjoyed watching the ceremony via our recording. She made it better than we could have expected. Even more, I lost my dad a few months ago, and Jen was really supportive in all the upheaval. It really meant a lot to us. Thanks so much Jen!

e was exactly who we wanted presiding over our ceremony, her warmth and excitement was palpable, even via a video chat (which is remarkable in and of itself). We had known that we wanted to elope well before the moment arose, but we also wanted to make sure the experience we had would be deeply felt and that could act as something of a touchstone throughout our marriage. We wanted a personal ceremony that allowed us to connect in the moment while getting lost in each others eyes as we took the biggest step of our lives. Needless to say, Jen wove together a ceremony that did all that and so much more, incorporating a wonderful touch of earthy rituals that created a perfect the space for our ceremony. She easily fell into the nurturing role as we were getting ready, (it was an elopement after all, and so it was just us, Jen, and our photographer) even going so far as to help me get zipped up and buttoned into my dress. Lastly, we knew we wanted to write our own vows but felt a little overwhelmed by the significance, but again, Jen was there with us every step of the way. She provided us with all the help and even a few writing resources to make them a reality. We couldn’t be happier with how they came out, and a significant portion of our success and happiness with them is a direct result of her help and guidance. We’re such fans, that if she ever decides to hold weekly ceremonies celebrating the wisdom of nature, poets, and philosophers anywhere along the front range, you can be sure that you’ll find us front and center.

ble to incorporate all the elements that we desired to be part of the ceremony, making our ceremony unique and special. We highly recommend hiring her for your ceremony. She is the best!!

he words she spoke after only knowing us a short time speaks true to her craft. We knew that once we decided to renew our vows after 5 years, it would only be meaningful if Jen would officiate. She performed our vow renewal with the same beauty and kindness that we expected and made the day so meaningful for the both of us. I dont have enough great things to say about Jen. She has a talent for ceremony that is a wonder to bare witness to. She will craft a ceremony so intimate in style that you will truly feel like you and your someone are the only ones in attendance, until she gracefully makes the entire guest list feel included in your love. I cant wait to renew again!

en is welcoming, calming, and kind. She handcrafted our ceremony with the utmost intention and truly honored our love story. She had so many suggestions and fun ideas to implement into ceremony to make it more interactive for our guests. She really listens and cares about the couples she works with. I can’t say it enough that ceremony does matter on a wedding day. Wedding days fly by for the bride and groom and honestly the ceremony is what I remember the most. My husband and I were so present in that part of the day and it was extra special thanks to Jen. I highly recommend Small Circles Ceremonies. Your love story is special and deserves to be shared in a well crafted way that’s unique to you and your partner.

e moment you actually become husband and wife. After chatting with Jen on the phone, I was very confident she would do a great job. But great is an understatement. She was perfect. It felt sacred, important, momentous- which was something I wanted regardless of the fact that we were eloping and it was only the two of us. In early January on a snowy, cold day in the middle of the mountains she stood there, never uttered a word about the temperature being uncomfortable, never negatively reacted to the fact that our timeline got thrown off and we ran late. Only positive, happy vibes. She is a kind, exceptional person who is perfectly suited at what she does. If you want someone to officiate your ceremony, you will 100% not regret choosing Jen.

ess. She worked incredibly hard to ensure that our ceremony was personable, meaningful, and had the right amount of humor. A year later we still get comments from wedding guests about how great she was. You will not be disappointed in choosing Jen to be part of your wedding day!

so putting something together for us definitely wasn't typical and/or easy. But, that didn't stop Jen, and what she put together for us was MAGICAL. She meshed our backgrounds, beliefs, and personalities seamlessly. Many of our guests kept saying, through the ceremony, they felt like they truly got to know us as a couple. And, even though our ceremony didn't take place in a church, and wasn't performed by a priest, my Catholics all definitely agreed, they felt the presence of God through the many tears of joy, loads of laughter, and absolute LOVE felt throughout our ceremony. My only regret, is that I didn't get a videographer to capture that beautiful moment.

was very thorough in getting to know us as a couple and concise with what we wanted. We had a less traditional ceremony then maybe most would have and she nailed it, all of our guests loved it, and it was perfect. She really portrayed our love and who we are as a couple. It was truly a great experience working with Jen and we couldn't ask for more. It was the most beautiful day of our lives.

Our friends and family still talk about it and say it was the best ceremony they have ever witnessed. If you are looking for an officiant for your wedding, use Jen. She is the absolute best!!

, awesome caterers, incredible photographers, etc.—none of the food, pictures, or venue will compare to the ceremony. I would highly encourage you to talk with Jen and consider her for your ceremony, as she will put in 10x the effort of anyone else you interview to ensure the ceremony is the star of your special day. Jen was more expensive than other well-reviewed officiants we looked into, but we took the leap and I can't tell you enough how great of a decision that was—absolutely the best money we spent! —and we self-funded the day (so not unlimited parent money here...). Get sold on the idea of a ceremony as the best part of your day and you absolutely won't regret it.

is personal and heart-felt, as if she has known you forever. She makes sure to get to know you and your spouse, and your relationship story. In this way she personalizes your ceremony as if she were family, while being incredibly well spoken and captivating. Jen getting to know us, lead my wife and I to think about ourselves and our future. And that sort of relaxed reflection was meaningful to us leading up to our wedding. Jen had suggestions and advice for us in how to make our ceremony unique and personal to us. She had so many creative ideas that I had never heard of before, and each were meaningful and unique. But she also made clear that the priority was us, and what we wanted, and the type of ceremony we envisioned. Our ceremony was big- about 250 people. But she made it feel like it was a small intimate gathering. Our guests told us over and over again that the ceremony was the most heart-warming ceremony they had ever attended. We can't thank Jen enough.

he in depth work that she did to understand our intentions, and how she held space for us on an otherwise wild ride of a day! Many of our wedding guests told us it was the best ceremony they had ever been a part of. We are thankful for Jen and the work that she does!

ortable and relaxed, and we truly feel that we became close friends with her throughout the ceremony planning process. Our ceremony was so incredibly personal. Together with our guests, we laughed, cried, and shared some very special moments together. We received tons of compliments afterwards and heard from several people that it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever experienced. We are so grateful that Jen was by our side on our wedding day!

with Jen, we got all of that and more. I had countless people say to me that our ceremony was the most personal, moving wedding ceremony they had ever seen. When I think back to the single most important decision we made about our wedding (aside from the decision to have it in the first place!), it was having Jen as our celebrant. She is incredible, and we are so grateful.

ith my spouse and I at coffee shops, chit chatting via email and over the phone, and really made every effort to truly get to know us, and it showed on the day of! Jen got the whole crowd involved and amped about our special day. From laughing to tears to cheers, she perfected it all. During the reception, our guests came up and couldn't stop talking about how incredible the ceremony was (which is what weddings are all about!) Jen, you are amazing and Tish and I cannot thank you enough! I wish I could give you 10 stars, 5 just isn't enough for you!

h me and hug me, she felt like an old friend...a friend who knew me to the core, and was there to walk me to the threshold of my new life with my best friend. Jen took the time to learn about and understand my new husband and I as individuals and as a couple. She gave us an extraordinary ceremony that reflected our story, our values and our sense of humor. Our guests were delighted with the ceremony and many of them approached me to ask how long we've known each other, and they were all genuinely surprised to hear that we found her just searching for an Officient. Jen gave us a stunning, memorable, and extraordinarily personal and unique ceremony. We couldn't be more honored and feel genuinely lucky to have found Jen, she was the absolute perfect person to join us together in ceremony. Jen will continue to be in our hearts, and, hopefully, as a friend in the future. We are grateful to her for what she gave us for the most important moments of our wedding day.

eeling more confident. We enjoyed her company so much that we went on for hours each time and left feeling rejuvenated by her positive spirit. From the moment we met Jen we knew she was the perfect person for our big day. She made us feel comfortable and at ease and we knew we needed that presence while we were up in front of everyone. Jen is a gracious and talented speaker and strung together beautiful quotes along with an amazingly thoughtful background of our relationship. She really helped our guests feel involved in the ceremony and connected to each other and us. We had a mixture of folks in the audience and were surprised to hear some of our more conservative guests blown away by the ceremony and willing to lean in to the ceremonial smudging that we had. She also managed to create something so lovely that even my stoic father shed some tears. Jen took the time to really get to know us over the course of the process and I love that she wove a lot of our own words into the ceremony. It made everything so personal and representative of us. Jen is so poetic and offered the perfect balance of romance and magic and honesty to our ceremony. We wouldn't change a thing and are so grateful that we met Jen. I give the highest recommendation possible to Jen, her process and her work.

e knew us for years. Everything about the ceremony was so "us"- it was perfect. Worth every penny
