About this vendor
Welcome! Welcome!
I would love to help you find the right officiant. So here's me.
AWARD WINNING OFFICIANT FOR SEVERAL YEARS IN A ROW!
150 POSITIVE REVIEWS, PROFESSIONAL, AFFORDABLE!
MY INTENTION IS ALWAYS TO DO MY BEST!
I ARRIVE EARLY TO THE CEREMONY, MEET THE VENDORS, WORK OUT ANY DETAILS, WELCOME YOUR GUESTS, MAKE THE CEREMONY FLOW GRACEFULLY, WITH EASE, AND HAVE YOUR GUESTS AND YOU THE COUPLE LOVE LOVE LOVE THE CEREMONY!
I love officiating, have officiated for over ten years, and my five star reviews say it all. I listen, I prioritize my couple's wedding ceremonies,write a one of a kind ceremonies, and I write the ceremony until it is perfect for the two of you. You have final approval.
I am a professional officiant and I know what that takes. Things happen that can really be challenging to make the ceremony flow perfectly, I have seen many unforeseen things happen and made it all work out. I am a professional, I have experience to go with the flow through those challenging moments.
It is my mission to guide you in the ceremony process. The way I create the ceremony is to ask each of you questions, I really listen, you can ask me questions and collectively we get to understand each other. I get to understand what you are looking for.
I send lots of ideas, resources and you send me your ideas too.
At the end of the process the ceremony is a piece of art that says this is our love, this is US.
My intention will always to be to engage the guests and so they feel like they are part of your day too!
I know how to write a ceremony that comes from the heart and that speaks of the couples love, likes and passions. I graduated from One Spirit Seminary in New York. I know about interfaith and interspiritual and that we all have our own path to love. I write lots of ceremonies for couples that are not religious, not especially religious but members of their family are. I have a wealth of resources touse in any type of ceremony.
I love nature, I love hiking, walking in the woods, camping, and just simply being in the Woods. I also have a passion for living a healthy lifestyle. Yoga, meditation, and living mindfully are my choice.
I officiate in old barns, top of mountains, by a lake, river, in a field, in the woods,
in a hotel or old inns, grand ballrooms,
many Lake George venues have seen my officiating,
backyards, homes, gorgeous country clubs, and in a park.
Mountains that I love: Adirondacks, Poconos, and the lovely Green Mountains.
I love ceremony, rituals, and most of all LOVE. It's what we all need!
Did I say that I have over a hundred reviews, five stars, and I love being an officiant. It's all true.
I offer Zoom, phone, or in person consultations. This how we get to know each other, share what you are looking for (even if you are not sure what that is), and ask questions to ensure I would be a good fit for your wedding ceremony. I explain my process and go from there.

We stumbled upon Janet from a recommendation from one of her colleagues and when we first spoke to her, we knew we’d found the perfect person to officiate our wedding. From the sta...
rt, Janet exudes kindness and thoughtfulness. Her approach to a ceremony takes you on a journey. It’s a true celebration of the love you share and she immerses herself in it. More than anything Janet has such a calming presence. It’s one of the reasons we were so drawn to her in our initial chat. When the ceremony came around, all throughout she took multiple moments to pull the microphone away and check in with us. To let us breathe, absorb and just slow down. It’s those moments I remember most. The three of us sharing a moment of awe, a moment of stillness or a deep breath.
It feels like an honor to have been married by her. Like our marriage was truly kicked off in the best of hands with the most genuine intentions. We laughed, we cried, we remembered, we looked toward a new future. A thousand thanks could never be enough. We are so grateful to have been married by Janet and would recommend her over and over again. She truly loves the commitment her couples are making to each other and it shows.
We are so thankful to have had Janet as our officiant! From the very beginning, Janet made the process easy and enjoyable, taking the time to get to know us through simple que...

On the big day, her calm presence put us at ease, delivering a ceremony that was beautifully "us" with the perfect amount of humor to make it fun and memorable! We are so grateful for the care, attention and genuine joy Janet brought to such an important moment in our lives.
If you are looking for someone who is personable, professional, and passionate about making your day uniquely yours, we highly recommend Janet!

uestionnaires so that she could create a personalized wedding ceremony for us. These questions also really helped my husband and I to reflect on what WE wanted, and to rediscover some really special memories. Janet did a rehearsal with us and our families, and was so kind and patient. On our wedding day, she made us feel so special and so confident. She encouraged us to write and share our own vows. During our ceremony, she read the most beautiful love story to all of our family and friends - who were all laughing, and crying with joy. Janet truly made our day feel so very special. She is a kind woman, who's incredible at her job, and has the sweetest soul. I would recommend Janet ten times out of ten to anyone looking for an officiant who goes above and beyond on their wedding day. Thank you Janet!

I would recommend Janet to absolutely ANYONE interested in having a very special wedding ceremony - she everything you could possibly need in an officiant and on top of that she is just an absolute joy to be around.
