About
Hello! I am Jodi Peters, a thoughtful and experienced Wedding Officiant. I love to create Sweet and Simple Ceremonies tailored to fit each couple. My amazing customers over the years have been all ages, races, religions and orientations. While every ceremony is unique, I always provide the same result: a beautiful event that is stress-free and full of love. My main focus, always, is to make your ceremony perfect for you! Let’s talk about your details and preferences.
I’m often asked about “hidden extras” so please know that my base fee of $265 really does cover consultations, prepping and traveling for the ceremony, customizing your vows and all details to your desire, performing the ceremony and turning paperwork in to the county.
The only “extras” added when I am your Officiant would be if you want me to run a rehearsal, meet for an in-person counseling or planning session, my help getting the marriage license from the county due to unique circumstances, or for me to set up my sound system (each add $65 to the total).
I am sometimes hired to be a Coordinator for the whole event which is completely different and involves a lot of managing other vendors, venues and participants. But that’s a conversation we can have if you are interested!

Jodi could nto have been sweeter or simpler for our wedding ceremony. By speaking with us and finding out what we wanted, she delivered something that was specifically tailored for us, a ceremony that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Many of the wedding attendants asked if we were friends, because she has that type of demeanor that makes her feel like immediate family. Thank you, Jodi for being so amazing. The only thing that we are sad about is that we wont need you for another wedding! But we will call for a vow renewal, should we have one!

JODI IS AMAZING!!! She personalized our wedding and had so many great suggestions. She made everyone in my wedding party feel comfortable and was amenable to spending the day before our wedding rehearsing. She personalized our vows and was really supportive and professional. I can’t recommend her enough! I wish we could get married again just to work with her!

Jodi married us this Halloween, and we are so happy with her. She always responded promptly, and was open to our ideas, while adding flourishes of her own that helped build a fun and meaningful ceremony. She was punctual, dressed properly, and acted professionally, but was also very charming. She made sure our legal papers were in order, found the witnesses while we were taking pictures, and overall a great experience. Thank you.

My new husband and I and brides mom are so happy with the outcome with our ceremony. She made the whole thing flow so smoothly, brought a little fun and understanding into everything. Speaking to her before, during and after was easy and helped with relieving stress and anything you thought might be chaotic. Thank you so much for all your help! We are so happy.

FAQs
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My degrees are in Political Science and Sociology. Most of my career has been focused on teaching (high school, adult ed and college) and writing. As part of my consulting work for non-profits, I found myself often presenting before panels or larger audiences. Having always considered myself shy, I was surprised to discover a love of public speaking. For several years now I have been honored to host events and serve as a Master of Ceremony. In 2013 I became ordained specifically to perform weddings because it brings me so much joy.
What types of customers have you worked with?
Young couples, mature couples, gay couples, those who want pre-marital relationship coaching and those who do not. My favorite thing is to find the right style and words to make your event perfectly suited to you.
