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.

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!

Jayne is great for a beautiful, organized and unique wedding

Jayne has been with my now Husband and me on our wedding celebration for about 2 years due to the many changes in date due to covid-19. She has been incredibly hard-working and flexible the whole time. Jayne has probably spent hours with us on the phone/ via zoom to ensure we got the ceremony we wanted. She also was very organized and full of valuable advise which is an asset to a bit of a disorganized bride like me. There have been a few times where I forgot a meet-up and she turned her car around just to be supportive. She ensured to provide a helpful timeline and email reminders. Jayne also made sure that our ceremony was both timeless and unique at the same time. I had a few people both as invited guests and on- lookers come up to us and say that it was one of the most beautiful ceremony they've every seen. She also ensured that our rehearsal was efficient and that the wedding party was well informed of the ceremony timeline. The day of the wedding she had a balance of humor and beautiful sentiments during the ceremony to make us feel at ease. She also navigated a mixed culture ceremony well. I cannot recommend Jayne enough for a beautiful and memorable wedding!!

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!

She was warm hearted

Jayne was really warm hearted person for us.
We had to postpone several times for our wedding, but she understood and accepted on our situation.
We were really happy that she was our commissioner.

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!!!
