Amazing Officiant

Joanne was such a pleasure to work with! We had many questions and didn’t really know the direction we wanted to take with our wedding ceremony. Joanne came prepared, and helped us to customize the entire thing. The couple’s questionnaire she provided was thorough and we felt like she really got to know us and our relationship. This made it easy for her to deliver an amazing service for us! We didn’t want to do vows, so she provided multiple different options for us. She was amazing and we would definitely go back to her for other services! Thanks a million Joanne!!

Fantastic Personalized Service

Joanne goes ABOVE AND BEYOND for your service. She rolls with your story as a couple and writes the most beautiful personalized service. And she doesn’t stop until you at 100% completely happy. The long questionnaire is WORTH IT but I would just like to add that she will use your wording from the questionnaire throughout your ceremony and I didn’t originally respond to the questionnaire with that knowledge so it took some finessing (but thankfully you get unlimited edits!)
Our guest raved about Joanne’s approach. They’d never seen an officiant like her, telling our story the way she did and addressing our GUESTS for majority of the ceremony.
Such a smooth and wonderful process working with Joanne. Would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for something more than just the usual ceremony pieces.

Ceremony Officiant

Joanne was amazing and did such a great job with our ceremony guests loved her. I've been to other weddings where the officiant was terrible and can make or break your wedding. She curated a script based on us as a couple and made it personable. She helped us every step of the way and was so detailed.

Incredible!

From the moment we connected with Joanne, she made us feel like we were in such good hands and that our ceremony would be incredibly intimate and personal to us. She works collaboratively with you to design your ceremony and also connects with the key people for your special day. Although we went with a rather traditional ceremony, there were options to incorporate a variety of unity ceremony details to your ceremony. She then guided and coached our bridal party on all the aspects of the ceremony but with considerations for photography and videography. If all of this doesn’t scream “experienced professional” I don’t know what will. I wish we could get married again to continue working with Joanne as it was just a great experience.
Thank you Joanne for everything and your part in our truly unforgettable day!

Thank you!!

Joanne was wonderful- she wrote us a beautiful and personal ceremony and went back and forth with us through many revisions and changes until we were perfectly happy. We had an absolutely incredible and meaningful wedding ceremony and we thank her so much for being part of it!

A Ceremony to Remember

Working with Joanne was super wonderful. She was always quick to respond to our emails, she kept us in the loop through the entire process, and she wrote an amazing ceremony script.
Joanne wrote us an individualized ceremony script, and she changed/adjusted whatever we requested. She was super accommodating and understand.
After our ceremony I had so many of our guests talk about how good and unique the ceremony was. Majority of our guest (we had 188guests) complimented us on it being the best ceremony they've ever heard/attended.
That in itself was worth the extra price we paid for her!
Thank you Joanne for making it one to remember and a ceremony that is going to be talked about for a long time to come!.

So special

Joanne customizes your ceremony so it is written specially for you. There’s a lot of cookie cutter weddings out there and she definitely makes you feel like you stand out. Absolutely professional and unlimited edits makes sure your ceremony flows perfectly. Very accommodating with changes and so patient when you’re indecisive. So so happy.

An amazing woman!

Joanne did an amazing job with our ceremony! Without even meeting us she was able to tell our story as if she had known us our whole lives. She works with you to ensure you get exactly what you're looking for! I highly recommend Joanne!! Thanks again for an amazing day!

Wedding Ceremony Officiant

Joanne was wonderful to work with! Although the "get to know you" questionnaire is quite lengthy, it is to ensure you get an incredibly personalized ceremony script, which is what we were looking for. Our families and guests all commented afterward on how great Joanne was as our officiant. Joanne kept us on track with deadlines to ensure everything was edited and completed to our liking. She communicated with all of our vendors to ensure everyone was on the same page for timing and to ensure our photographers and videographers knew what to expect. Joanne was also extremely helpful throughout our rehearsal to ensure our families and bridal parties felt comfortable and knew what to do. Joanne was great to work with! I do believe in investing more ($) into great vendors to ensure the day/planning goes smoothly and as stress free as possible. I would definitely recommend Joanne.

Wonderful Source of Ideas & Guidance

Right from the very first email Joanne was extremely professional, excited for us, and supportive. She knows, that planning a wedding is a stressful process and did a wonderful job of getting to know us, and what we valued in our ceremony. There were so many parts we were unsure about, and Joanne had fantastic suggestions that we were able to weave together to produce a breathtaking ceremony. She also assisted us with writing our own vows. Her experience really shone through during the rehearsal, listening and leading through many voices and ideas, to get the job done.
Comments from our guests: "Wow, that was the most powerful ceremony I have ever been to. "
"That was so deeply personal, I feel like I know you better." "Best wedding I have ever been to."
