    We are so incredibly grateful to Jenn for making our ceremony everything we hoped for and more. From the very beginning, she guided us through the entire process with such care, patience, and professionalism. Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but Jenn made everything feel smooth, organized, and stress-free. She took the time to truly get to know us and understand our story. Her guidance helped us shape a ceremony that felt personal, meaningful, and completely authentic to who we are as a couple. We never felt lost she walked us through every step and made sure we felt confident and prepared. On the wedding day, she delivered our ceremony so beautifully. It was heartfelt, sincere, and perfectly balanced. So many of our guests told us how much they loved it. Jenn is not only professional and experienced, but also warm, supportive, and genuinely invested in her couples. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care about making their day special. Thank you, Jenn, for guiding us and for being such an important part of our wedding day!

    When our intended officiant was unavailable for our short-notice elopement in NYC, found Jenn on Thumbtack. She responded within a few minutes, & offered to chat that evening (at 10 p.m., no less!). I felt so comfortable with her after our conversation that I booked her immediately. Her professionalism, knowledge and enthusiasm for what she does put me so at ease - a blessing when one suddenly has to pull off an impromptu wedding in NYC, while living in another state ... with 10 days notice. She checked in with me regularly to ensure everything was moving along well, which was reassuring (when you feel you're herding cats, it's great to have a German Shepherd reliably in the wings). She knows the marriage requirements in NY well, and was a helpful resource. The contract she sent over was transparent & clear re: terms, timing, expectations, etc. I was surprised when she sent a few questions to me and my fiancé, so that she could craft our vows; I hadn't expected that kind of personal, heartfelt interest in our marriage ceremony. She then delivered to us her draft of our vows, in the event we had any edits for her (absolutely none). We met in-person for the first time at the clock in Grand Central - she arrived early (we arrived within the 15-min. grace period) and met up with our photographer. One presumes that a wedding officiant one selects online will be purely transactional - fill out the forms, say the words, sign the paper, thank you, goodbye. I hadn't expected the sudden emotion of speaking our vows, even just alone in the middle of Grand Central on the busy afternoon before Thanksgiving. Jenn was so on top of everything - selecting, with our photographer, the perfect spot for our ceremony, in the Grand Hall; handling the little things one might not have thought about (where do I set down my wrap/purse/bouquet, while I say my vows?) ... She was so warm and had made such effort to learn about us in a short period of time. I was so focused on my fiancé and on her during the ceremony that I didn't even notice the crowd of people who'd surrounded us during our vows (until we kissed, and they cheered). I'm so glad that she was the person to marry us. She enabled me to relax and let the joy of it all to happen, without worrying about a thing. I'm calling it the, 'Jenn Vows Bubble' - even amidst hundreds of strangers, it felt as though our wedding was taking place in a private little space with just Jenn, me and my (now) husband. I could not recommend Jenn more highly as an officiant!

    Why Knot Wed was the perfect choice for our wedding officiant. From our first interaction, Jenn and her team were prompt, professional, and attentive to all of our needs. They were exceptionally prepared, reliable, and polished throughout the entire process. Jenn's officiation was flawless, and she helped our special day go exactly as planned. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant to make our wedding ceremony so meaningful and memorable.
