Best officiant... EVER.

Finding an officiant is arguably one of the most intimate decisions you can make during the wedding planning process. A lot of people look for a friend/family member to officiate so that the couple's essence is properly captured by someone who knows you both well.

When I say the Jody is the best officiant it is not an exaggeration. If you want to work with someone who deeply cares about catching you and your partner's relationship and articulating it into a beautifully told ceremony story, she is your person. Jody spends a session getting to know you and your partner so she can write your ceremony with specifics and tidbits about you as a couple. My husband and I spent a long time with Jody during our session being completely vulnerable and present about our relationship and why it is so meaningful for us and she could not have done a better job capturing it for our ceremony. So much so that when she sent over the first draft for us to review, I was in tears and did not want to change a thing about it (which says a lot because I am very picky)!

Another amazing thing about Jody was the day of our wedding. I was quite nervous before our ceremony as that moment is a big one!! Jody sat with me and calmed my nerves to the point where I was able to be completely present during our ceremony despite the pre-ceremony jitters and this is all thanks to Jody.

If you are looking for a kind, romantic, empathic, and understanding officiant who wants nothing more but for you and your partner to feel your love through the ceremony she writes, then she is your officiant.

Thank you so much, Jody, for the most perfect day. We got so many compliments on the ceremony from our friends and families.

Highly recommend working with Jody!

Trent and I are so grateful we found Jody. We got endless compliments on our ceremony and all the credit goes to Jody for doing such an amazing job weaving our story together artfully, and with elegance. We knew from our first call that she was the right fit for us and we weren’t disappointed. Jody took the time to get to know us both genuinely and it was evident on our special day. We highly recommend working with Jody!

Reverend Jody is as good as it gets!

Having Reverend Jody officiate our union was truly more magical than we can ever describe. Jody took the time to get to know us individually and as a couple and was so detailed orientated and determined to perfectly craft our ceremony. Her abilities to express our story with such passion, love and laughter left us all in the happiest of tears. We are truly so lucky to have had her loving guidance as we embark on this new chapter together. We cannot recommend her services enough!!
