Thanks to Jayne for a Fantastic
Jayne was a huge help to us and we would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a wedding officiant. We were planning our own small sized wedding and had no idea what to look for in an officiant, and with Jayne we got everything we wanted and more! She helped us with planning the ceremony, sorting out all the details, and adding in extra elements we wouldn't have thought of on our own (in our specific case this included having a candle ceremony and having poetry readings from friends). Jayne has a great eye for detail and her suggestions for how to set up the ceremony and how to do music added a lot to the event. Whatever you're looking for in a wedding, I'm confident, Jayne will know how to pull it off. Thanks Jayne for helping us to have a ceremony we'll remember fondly forever!

Mark, I loved your wedding!! You two did an amazing job of planning and executing it in record time. The 1930's Lodge was so beautiful and your candles sparkled even brighter with the lighting in there. Your Vows were perfect, the Shakespeare readings were magical and I think the highlight was having Grandpa walk your beautiful bride down the aisle. Thank you for inviting me to be part of your special and very memorable day.

We Love Jayne!
I don't have a single negative thing to say about our experience with Jayne. She was professional, informative, and incredibly personable. My husband and I got engaged AND planned a wedding in a month. Jayne was on board from the beginning and helped make the entire experience so special and smooth. We decided to write our own vows and Jayne provided us with some guidelines and tips which made writing our vows far less intimidating. My husband is from Wales, and due to COVID, his family and friends weren't able to make it. We did do a live stream for our ceremony, and Jayne did a fabulous job including all our virtual guests. Our ceremony was so beautiful and Jaynes personal touches really made it extra special. Thank you Jayne for being part of our day!!!

Oh my. Thank you for your lovely words Emily. Your wedding was so beautiful in every way. Right from the gorgeous backyard setting, to your Stone Ceremony, your brother’s guitar playing and your Mom and sister’s flare for décor. The thought of Kyle’s Mom and Grandma not being able to attend your wedding tugged on the heart strings, so it was a pleasure to wave and say Hello over You Tube, Live Stream. Thank you for your careful Covid safety measures. I wish you both much happiness as you walk this journey together.

I loved getting to know you both, and your families were so warm and welcoming. Your enthusiasm and excitement to get married, made my work so much easier. Your Whiskey Box ceremony was lovely, your family's farm was the perfect venue, and the sheer Joy of it all had me choking back tears. You are a match made in heaven and I wish you a rich and abundant life.

Sweet and caring
Jayne was the best officiant to have, she took the time to come to my location around my schedule. She asked questions and made the ceremony wonderful for non-religious people. She told
Our love story with such fun and laughter but also took the time to do a rehearsal till she felt
We were ready. For anyone looking to have a ceremony that is completely different and unique that everyone can remember i would highly recommend her.

You are so right. Telling your Love Story was both fun and heartwarming, at the same time. The part I loved most was sharing the lessons you both have learned during your life’s journey. There was a message for all of us in those lessons. Then, of course, I had some fun writing the part about your proposal, from Plan A, through to Plan F. I wish you much happiness and many blessings in your journey as Husband and Wife.
