Jayne is very hands-on! She helped us every step of the way and answered all our questions no matter how small or big they were. She is very organized and on top of everything. I would definitely recommend Jayne to any of my friends/families who plan to get married soon.

Our Guiding Light: A Heartfelt Thank You to Jayne

We had the absolute pleasure of having Jayne as our officiant for our wedding, and we couldn't have asked for a more wonderful experience. From the very beginning, she was not only a guide but also a pillar of support and structure, helping us navigate through the entire process with ease and grace. Jayne helped make sense of everything, providing clarity and reassurance during what could have been a very stressful time.

Her warm and caring nature instantly put us at ease, and her professionalism was evident in every interaction. She took the time to understand our story, our values, and what we wanted our ceremony to represent. Her ability to craft a ceremony that was deeply personal and meaningful to us is a testament to her skill and dedication. Jayne made us feel safe and supported every step of the way.

On the wedding day, Jayne delivered the ceremony with such poise and heartfelt emotion that it moved everyone present. Her words were beautifully chosen and perfectly conveyed our love and commitment to each other. She truly made our special day even more memorable.

We are incredibly grateful to Jayne for being a wonderful guide, the pillar that held up our wedding, and for providing the structure that helped us through this significant milestone in our lives. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant who is not only professional and talented but also genuinely caring and supportive.

Thank you, Jayne, for being an integral part of our wedding day!

With heartfelt thanks,
Cecilia Lizcano Martinez & Alek Treviño

Truly Memorable Ceremony!!

Jayne was lovely to work with. She took the time to really learn about us as a couple and used that information to craft a truly memorable ceremony. Several of our guests commented on what a touching ceremony and how they felt included.

Jane was the perfect and only Officiate that could do our wedding justice!

Jayne was incredible and on-point from the first phone call! She went above-and-beyond to accommodate us, despite already having a very busy schedule. Her suggestions were matched perfectly with the essence of our wedding, she understood what was important and personal to each of us, and delivered in spectacular fashion. We received compliments from everyone involved in is day regarding her enthusiasm and dedication to our ceremony.
Leading up to our ceremony, we always felt that Jayne treated us with priority, was never hard to reach, and always responded with great detail and attentiveness. She was also very sure of things at all times, and nothing every felt, "wishy-washy", or left to chance. Extremely professional, warm and caring, and an all-around top-notch experience!

I absolutely insist people hire Jayne for their big day.

I was planning a wedding within a month and Jayne was the one who was with me from the start till the end. She asked all the right questions and found out exactly what me and my now hubby would like. She gave the whole wedding structure and made it so beautiful. She became an instant friend and was with me every step of the way. Her energy, affection and excitement is unparalleled. She is truly amazing at making people feel cherished. We had a beautiful ceremony made surreal with her heart warming and thoughtful words. We were truly lucky to have found her and are so happy she was the one to unite us. Keep on being Marvellous Jayne

The most memorable part of our wedding!

Wow, where do I begin with this review? I would honestly rather write a letter of appreciation to Jayne for all that she did for us over the years after continuous postponement of our wedding due to COVID-19 and how beautiful of a ceremony she prepared for us.

Before we got married my fiancé and I knew that we wanted to do a traditional Celtic Hand-Fasting ceremony. It appeared that finding an officiant who does this was a little challenging as it seems its an uncommon practice... but then we found Jayne here on WeddingWire! We decided to meet her after looking at her page/reviews and to see if she would be the right fit for us. Was she EVER! Her personality, energy and charisma is absolutely stunning and she is someone who you can truly talk to and be yourself around. We really appreciate how comfortable we were around her. We knew this was going to be special.

Unfortunately, the pandemic hit before we could get married and we decided to postpone our wedding TWICE due to gathering restrictions. Jayne was so supportive and understanding with our choice to wait as she understood it was extremely important for us to have everyone there with us. She was also available at any time to help guide us and answer any questions or concerns we had. She was also kind enough to touch base with us every once in a while as we kept aiming for a new date. The entire process was very calm and exciting for us even though it took years of waiting and she ensured everything transitioned over seamlessly.

When rehearsal time finally arrived Jayne ran the show and kept everyone organized and made sure they understood their role and how to do it. We even asked her to practice a few more times and she was more than happy to oblige. She wanted to make sure we were good to go. The day of the wedding was so exciting for us as she knew how long we waited for this moment. It made everything more personal for us because she had been part of our journey for so long after we kept postponing the date.

Jayne was so thoughtful in helping us plan the entire ceremony. She gave us lots of options and ideas on how to go about what we envisioned. It was so custom and tailored to us that we received SO MANY compliments from our guests. It was a beautiful ceremony created just for us. In fact, I still receive comments from guests now and again!

I am sad this process has come to a close for us but I will always hold a special place in my heart for Jayne and all that she helped us achieve on the most important day of our lives.

Thank you Jayne from the bottom of our hearts! You are a beautiful soul and we cannot wait to see you again some day! Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors my friend!
