About
The ceremonies I provide are not cookie cutter types. Each ceremony is
customized to the couples' wishes, religious and non-religious.
I also offer to include family traditions and specific requests of each client. My fee includes travel, samples, editing, phone consult, performing ceremony, filing license. The only addition would be a venue parking fee or rehearsal fee.
I love being able to provide couples with a ceremony that is meaningful
to them. Try to help couples start their new life together with meaning.
I do not require any classes or commitments to a specific religious group.
I am a religious and spiritual person but do not press my views onto my clients.

We absolutely love her! She is so professional, experienced and made the whole process Super simple! You can tell she’s been doing this for a long time and she made me feel so comfortable that she had it taken care of, and we had one less thing to worry about! Honestly Jan feels like family now and we couldn’t imagine having anyone else be our weddingofficiant.

had an amazing experience with our weddingofficiant. She was incredibly professional from start to finish — always responsive, punctual, and so easy to work with. She delivered a beautiful ceremony that included every detail we requested, and she made the entire process feel effortless.
We especially appreciated how comfortable and supportive she was with officiating a same-sex wedding. Her warmth and respect meant so much to us on our big day.
Highly recommend her to any couple looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and truly caring officiant. 💍✨

Jan was amazing, she attended our rehearsal and before our ceremony she helped ease my nerves and offered a ton of advice. I really loved how down to earth she is, she is also very easy to work with. You will not regret choosing Jan to officiate your wedding🤍

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My fee is all inclusive!! The only add on would be for parking, rehearsal or holiday fee. Most weddings are priced at $240 within 60 miles of my location (Includes travel). Most of the time I am not needed at the rehearsal, but if requested an additional $100. I'm available most holidays/holiday weekends at an additional $50. Parking fees may be added to pricing.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Through contact I obtain specifics such as type of ceremony, special additions i.e. including children, mentioning loved ones passed, unity (candle, sand, wine), lover's knot, etc. I provide sample ceremonies for review and then customized. A draft is sent to the couple for review and editing prior to wedding day. Typically we'll not meet until the wedding or rehearsal but I'm available to meet before if requested.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've not only performed many ceremonies but have many years of experience in public speaking and dealing with people which provides me with skills needed to provide a meaningful ceremony specific to your wishes.
