    loved her!

    she was ok with our desire to remain non-religious but included a blessing of the wind witch portrayed our love of nature. she included so many personal touches to the ceremony and she really took the time to get to know us. she was so professional throughout and made sure we all knew what we were doing with the processional.

    Our Own Celebration's reply:

    Thank you so much Kelly! It was such a pleasure writing your ceremony, for you two. Your wedding was perfect - just the way you wanted it. Loved meeting your family and friends and the backyard was gorgeous. I hope you thoroughly enjoyed your ceremony and the reception afterward. Please keep in touch.

    Janna and Jien

    Jayne is very hands-on! She helped us every step of the way and answered all our questions no matter how small or big they were. She is very organized and on top of everything. I would definitely recommend Jayne to any of my friends/families who plan to get married soon.

    Our Own Celebration's reply:

    Janna, I really enjoyed your Wedding ceremony. Everyone was so happy, and they made me feel very welcomed. Wishing you both a long and happy life together. Many blessings to you.

    Unforgettable Ceremony

    We couldn't have asked for a more perfect officiant than Jayne for our wedding! From our initial meeting to the big day itself, Jayne was exceptional in every way

    Our Own Celebration's reply:

    It was such a joy working with you, Elisha and your now husband. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm with me, right from the beginning. I enjoyed your humor, and we even had a laugh in the middle of your ceremony. Wishing you both, much sunshine and laughter for all of your lives together.

    Our Guiding Light: A Heartfelt Thank You to Jayne

    We had the absolute pleasure of having Jayne as our officiant for our wedding, and we couldn't have asked for a more wonderful experience. From the very beginning, she was not only a guide but also a pillar of support and structure, helping us navigate through the entire process with ease and grace. Jayne helped make sense of everything, providing clarity and reassurance during what could have been a very stressful time.

    Her warm and caring nature instantly put us at ease, and her professionalism was evident in every interaction. She took the time to understand our story, our values, and what we wanted our ceremony to represent. Her ability to craft a ceremony that was deeply personal and meaningful to us is a testament to her skill and dedication. Jayne made us feel safe and supported every step of the way.

    On the wedding day, Jayne delivered the ceremony with such poise and heartfelt emotion that it moved everyone present. Her words were beautifully chosen and perfectly conveyed our love and commitment to each other. She truly made our special day even more memorable.

    We are incredibly grateful to Jayne for being a wonderful guide, the pillar that held up our wedding, and for providing the structure that helped us through this significant milestone in our lives. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant who is not only professional and talented but also genuinely caring and supportive.

    Thank you, Jayne, for being an integral part of our wedding day!

    With heartfelt thanks,
    Cecilia Lizcano Martinez & Alek Treviño

    Our Own Celebration's reply:

    WOW! What a wedding! Cecilia and Alek, your love is infectious and I'm quite sure it filled the Bloedel Conservatory, on that day. Your guests were lovely, and I so enjoyed meeting your family and friends. Writing your ceremony was such a pleasure. I even held back tears when I got to pronounce you Husband and Wife. I've got chills just remembering that special moment. Please keep in touch. I miss you already.

    Truly Memorable Ceremony!!

    Jayne was lovely to work with. She took the time to really learn about us as a couple and used that information to craft a truly memorable ceremony. Several of our guests commented on what a touching ceremony and how they felt included.

    Jayne is amazing

    Jayne is an incredibly helpful, insightful, and creative throughout the wedding process. She provided a very calming presence and knew exactly what to do to help make sure the wedding went smoothly. She also had wonderful ideas to help make the ceremony more impactful for my wife and I, as well as more memorable for the guests.

    Jane was the perfect and only Officiate that could do our wedding justice!

    Jayne was incredible and on-point from the first phone call! She went above-and-beyond to accommodate us, despite already having a very busy schedule. Her suggestions were matched perfectly with the essence of our wedding, she understood what was important and personal to each of us, and delivered in spectacular fashion. We received compliments from everyone involved in is day regarding her enthusiasm and dedication to our ceremony.
    Leading up to our ceremony, we always felt that Jayne treated us with priority, was never hard to reach, and always responded with great detail and attentiveness. She was also very sure of things at all times, and nothing every felt, "wishy-washy", or left to chance. Extremely professional, warm and caring, and an all-around top-notch experience!

    I absolutely insist people hire Jayne for their big day.

    Our Own Celebration's reply:

    Ah, Kyle. It was my kind of ceremony. You are such a spiritual couple and putting together some extras like your Handwashing, Smudge and Stone Ceremony pieces were right up my ally. I so enjoyed your ceremony and witnessing the Love between you two. Thank you for your kind words and for inviting me to be part of your special day.

    Exceptional!

    Our experience with Jayne Gibson was so wonderful. She is so open to your own individual needs and wants, so easy to talk to, and she listens to you. I cannot say enough about this lovely woman. She made our ceremony very special.

    Our Own Celebration's reply:

    Hi!! Thank you so much for your kind words. Working with you and your husband was just such a pleasure. Your wedding was beautiful, and everyone made me feel so comfortable. It was my pleasure to pronounce you Husband and Wife. I wish you many blessings and many happy years in each other's arms.

    Saranya and furkhan

    I was planning a wedding within a month and Jayne was the one who was with me from the start till the end. She asked all the right questions and found out exactly what me and my now hubby would like. She gave the whole wedding structure and made it so beautiful. She became an instant friend and was with me every step of the way. Her energy, affection and excitement is unparalleled. She is truly amazing at making people feel cherished. We had a beautiful ceremony made surreal with her heart warming and thoughtful words. We were truly lucky to have found her and are so happy she was the one to unite us. Keep on being Marvellous Jayne

    Our Own Celebration's reply:

    Saranya, the journey to your wedding day was magical. Your enthusiasm and happiness were infectious. Your wedding day was beautiful from start to finish. Full of Love and Joy - just like we talked about. I wish you both many happy years together and every blessing.

    The most memorable part of our wedding!

    Wow, where do I begin with this review? I would honestly rather write a letter of appreciation to Jayne for all that she did for us over the years after continuous postponement of our wedding due to COVID-19 and how beautiful of a ceremony she prepared for us.

    Before we got married my fiancé and I knew that we wanted to do a traditional Celtic Hand-Fasting ceremony. It appeared that finding an officiant who does this was a little challenging as it seems its an uncommon practice... but then we found Jayne here on WeddingWire! We decided to meet her after looking at her page/reviews and to see if she would be the right fit for us. Was she EVER! Her personality, energy and charisma is absolutely stunning and she is someone who you can truly talk to and be yourself around. We really appreciate how comfortable we were around her. We knew this was going to be special.

    Unfortunately, the pandemic hit before we could get married and we decided to postpone our wedding TWICE due to gathering restrictions. Jayne was so supportive and understanding with our choice to wait as she understood it was extremely important for us to have everyone there with us. She was also available at any time to help guide us and answer any questions or concerns we had. She was also kind enough to touch base with us every once in a while as we kept aiming for a new date. The entire process was very calm and exciting for us even though it took years of waiting and she ensured everything transitioned over seamlessly.

    When rehearsal time finally arrived Jayne ran the show and kept everyone organized and made sure they understood their role and how to do it. We even asked her to practice a few more times and she was more than happy to oblige. She wanted to make sure we were good to go. The day of the wedding was so exciting for us as she knew how long we waited for this moment. It made everything more personal for us because she had been part of our journey for so long after we kept postponing the date.

    Jayne was so thoughtful in helping us plan the entire ceremony. She gave us lots of options and ideas on how to go about what we envisioned. It was so custom and tailored to us that we received SO MANY compliments from our guests. It was a beautiful ceremony created just for us. In fact, I still receive comments from guests now and again!

    I am sad this process has come to a close for us but I will always hold a special place in my heart for Jayne and all that she helped us achieve on the most important day of our lives.

    Thank you Jayne from the bottom of our hearts! You are a beautiful soul and we cannot wait to see you again some day! Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors my friend!

    My dear Mr. and Mrs. Breen. Thank you so very much for your lovely words. The feeling is mutual. Your wedding day was indeed exciting. Your guests and family members couldn’t have been more excited for you, and they were especially welcoming to me. My heart sored and I was fighting back tears as I finally got to pronounce you Husband and Wife!! There was definitely magic in the air for the two of you. I so enjoyed getting to know you both and I hope you keep in touch because, after all of this time, I miss you already. I’m very proud of you both for making your dream day come true.
