Joannie Jenkins did a WONDERFUL job officiating our wedding ceremony!! She responded to us quickly when we initially reached out, made arrangements to find out exactly what we wanted, and checked it to remind us what we needed to bring day of ceremony!
We wanted casual, fun, and heartfelt and she was perfect!! She customized the wedding ceremony script to fit our family, and it felt very personal even though we didn’t meet her until today.
Thank you Joannie!!!
