About
Hello. My name is Arwen Freer, and I am an ordained minister who would love to be the officiant for your wedding, vow renewal or commitment ceremony. I'm one of only 2 officiants in Jacksonville to win The Best of The Knot in 2016, and I won WeddingWire's Couple's Choice Award for 2017. I have a Christian background, but I am ordained through an interfaith ministry and work with couples from every faith, including the non-religious. There is never any discrimination, regardless of your faith, orientation, or life choices. I am based in Jacksonville, FL, but willing to travel. I can perform weddings in FL, GA, and several other states. I absolutely love every minute of working with couples to create their perfect ceremony. I hope I will have the opportunity to show you why couples love working with me too. Your first consultation by phone is always free and with no obligation, so head on over to my website to see my full list of packages and prices, and then click the contact page to book your consultation. White wedding with lots of scriptures? I’m all about it! Off-beat or non-religious with quotes from your favorite fandom? I speak geek, and can even sneak it into traditional-looking ceremonies! Alternative, tattoos, piercings, and leather? I’ve got you covered too! Whether your wedding will be traditional, off-beat, alternative, themed, or even costumed, your style is perfect and I would love to custom craft a ceremony to match your vision. Your marriage is between the two of you, and you deserve a ceremony that celebrates your unique bond, honoring your own beliefs.

Arwen was incredibly helpful, from how to obtain my marriage license to what time sunset was the day of my event. I was an out of state bride and we communicated through email and by phone. She listened to what we wanted and created the most beautiful ceremony for us. She was very professional, very kind, and I highly recommend her to all future brides.

My husband and I truly enjoyed our service with Arween. She is easy going, adaptable, and friendly. She met with us before the big day to go through the wedding script and was open to making changes to the script. For us, it was making sure certain phrases were not included. Lol, we were pretty adament about not saying "love is like a circle" in the ceremony because we didn't want to burst out laughing by thinking of the movie "I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry". She also performed a coin and lasso ceremony and for the first time. Arween in adaptable because she worked with our last minute changes with ease. The first change was time, because we were very worried about cold weather and rain on the beach we changed the time. The second change was the beach. She rolled with the event and it was amazing of her to do so. Lastly she is a very friendly person. She checked the tides for the day of the ceremony, and ways to not sink in the sand. :) Our first meeting went smoothly and the ceremony was wonderful. So...YES...I recommend she officiate your wedding. She is professional, reliable and reasonably priced.

Arwen performed our wedding and was awesome. She is very professional, punctual, accommodating, polite, and courteous. She went above and beyond the call of duty. She is flexible and will to do whatever is in her power to make your wedding a success. Our wedding didn't start smooth but thanks to Arwen it finished fantastic. She has my vote and I would recommend her for whatever event or occasion that you may have. She deserves 10 stars. You will not be disappointed in her services guaranteed. Hands down Arwen Freer is the best. We were blessed to have found her and made her acquaintance. Thanks again Mrs. Freer.

Great experience. Allowed us to customize our ceremony vows, traveled out to the sticks for us, and even dressed "down" to match our redneck attire. Thanks Arwen for putting up with all our cats and dogs.

Arwen Freer is an exceptional officiant and an even more amazing person. My partner and I first met her at Hemming Plaza where she volunteered her services for couples of the same sex, who needed an officiant (the courthouse put a halt to all wedding ceremonies). Arwen's ceremony script was beautiful. She handled everything on the spot, with a calm demeanor that made it all seem effortless. When we wanted to renew our vows for family and friends, she was immediately receptive. She worked with our additions to the ceremony script and had some lovely ideas that would fit into our sunrise beach wedding. When the temperature dropped and we had to move the ceremony onto a deck, with heaters, Arwen did not flinch. She was very positive and we had complete confidence in her expertise and intuition. The ceremony was beautiful. She was able to hold a microphone and her script, like a pro. She's a rock star! This is an officiant I would recommend to any couple - so very thoughtful! Arwen, Emmie and I are so very grateful you officiated our very special marriage.
