This was such a great disappointment...
Jennifer provided the officiant services for our wedding. One month before the wedding we had a wedding workshop with her and went over the wedding script.
Two weeks before the wedding she provided us the final copy for review and we made major changes. There was erroneous information in the script she provided. She let us know that she would make revisions again and send us the final copy to review one more time before the wedding.
At the wedding rehearsal she did not have the final script ready and had a copy of our changes printed off. She did not read any of what she had printed at the rehearsal dinner.
The day of the wedding there was no precheck in with the bride or the groom and we still had not seen the final revised version to approve. When Jennifer started our wedding we immediately knew something was wrong. She had the script completely wrong, the changes we requested were not added. She kept losing her place on her I-pad and people in the audience were very confused.
We requested to have a moment of silence for the brides deceased father and The groom's parents. We also identified the grooms best friend who passed away recently. Jennifer did not mention the brides father and only mentioned the grooms parents as parents of the groom and not by name as requested. When it came time to mention the best friend, she said, " and a cousin". Leaving the family to wonder who had passed...
We had written our own vows and had traditional vows to follow. We did not get to the traditional vows and left the ceremony without having said 'I Do." We did this in private afterwards. Our children and guests asked if it was even legal because no one ever said I do.
When we reached out afterwards, she was not very apologetic and said that she didn't have the right script. We paid over $700 for something that one of our kiddos could have delivered better.
HIGHLY Disappointed.

sues you experienced with my officiant services. Your wedding day is incredibly important, and I regret that I did not meet your expectations.
I acknowledge that not having the correct script and failing to mention the special dedications you requested was a mistake on my part.
I understand your disappointment and the impact it had on your special day. I am committed to learning from this experience and improving my services to ensure that such issues do not occur in the future.
Please know that I have sent a partial refund for the disappointment.

Jennifer is such a wonderful person! She responded to me very fast, and was so professional and helpful! I got to video chat with her for about an hour and was able to book her very last minute. She paid attention to everything I said and made our ceremony script so amazing and full of fun Star Wars references (as requested). She was at the venue before I was there, she prepared and planned everything perfectly, and did a wonderful job. We am so happy that we hired her services, made our day so easy, and mailed the paperwork right the next day and informed us about it. She is kind, and well priced, highly recommend!
