“From the very beginning of our wedding planning journey, my husband and I knew that our ceremony would be the most meaningful part of our day. We wanted it to be deeply personal. Something that reflected our love story and honored our spiritual backgrounds in a unique, nontraditional way.
When we met Chelsea for our introductory call, it took no more than a few minutes to realize she was the perfect person to officiate our wedding. She listened attentively to everything we envisioned and, more importantly, we felt an instant connection. It's rare to meet someone for the first time and feel like you've known them forever, but that's exactly how it felt with Chelsea. We trusted her completely and choosing her was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.
Working with Chelsea was effortless. The first draft of our ceremony script was beautifully written and thoughtfully structured. We were genuinely blown away. It captured everything we hoped for and required almost no edits.
After our wedding ceremony, countless guests came up to us saying it was the most moving and memorable ceremony they had ever witnessed. That's all thanks to Chelsea. She truly understood our vision and brought it to life in the most heartfelt way.
Chelsea, thank you for making our dream ceremony a reality. We are forever grateful.”

“I am not one to usually write reviews but I felt like it was important to share how great our experience was with Chelsea! From our very first meeting, she made us feel comfortable and we knew that we wanted her to officiate our wedding. From the very first meeting, she eased my mind - she was organized, efficient and communicative.
On top of being professional, she is extremely kind hearted and made this process easy for us. She crafted the perfect ceremony for us that incorporated a small piece of both of our religions. We had sent emails back and forth even leading up to days before and she was receptive and supportive.
She attended our rehearsal dinner the night prior and helped us walk through the whole ceremony since we were unable to rehearse at our venue. She arrived to the ceremony early and had check ins with us prior to the ceremony starting which was calming. We have received so many compliments on Chelsea and how great she was! Our day would not have been the same without her. If you are looking for an officiant - look no further - book Chelsea!!
Thank you again Chelsea for being a part of our special day.”

“We could not have asked for a better officiant for our wedding. From the very beginning, Chelsea took the time to meet us in person and truly get to know our story. After that, she crafted a beautiful ceremony personalized to us, and was patient and receptive to our (very minimal) feedback, making the whole process easy and stress-free. Her professionalism was clear through every step of the process- in her communications, her outfits/appearance, and in how she facilitated our rehearsal, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and prepared.
On the wedding day, she delivered our ceremony with confidence, care, and conviction—it was heartfelt, sincere, funny, and everything we ever hoped it would be. We’ve received countless compliments from our guests saying it was the best ceremony they’ve ever attended, which is a true testament to Chelsea’s talent. If you’re looking for an officiant who will go above and beyond to make your day unforgettable, we can’t recommend Chelsea enough!”

“Ren was incredible! We felt an immediate connection when we first met and knew we found the perfect officiant for our special day! Everything went perfectly to plan and was beautifully worded. The level of detail and care in getting to know us as a couple and deliver our story to our closest family and friends in a unique and special way was exceptional! We couldn't be happier!”

“Chelsea is the sweetest human alive, seriously. My husband and I hired her to officiate our elopement in October and she was just perfect. She made our ceremony so personal to us and gave structure to the morning.
Chelsea is super fun and upbeat and feels like the ULTIMATE hype girl bff. We are so grateful that we found her!”

“Chelsea was the best, kindest, most professional and most helpful officiant we could have asked for. She worked with my husband and I for several months on editing our ceremony script, making sure every detail was what felt right.
We incorporated a lot of cultural traditions into our ceremony and Chelsea made it seamless. Between perfecting the flow of events and even learning a hebrew blessing for us, she went above and beyond to create our dream marriage ceremony.
Our guests remarked at how beautifully she led the ceremony and made it feel personal and memorable. I loved working with Chelsea and feel she brought something very warm, welcoming and special to our wedding day!”

“Of all the decisions you’ll make for your wedding, let Chelsea be your easiest YES. My husband and I set out with one goal: to make our wedding feel personal to us. Coming from two different religious backgrounds, we wanted a ceremony that honored both traditions with balance, and most importantly, reflected our story as a couple. Chelsea helped us create exactly that and more.
Whether you’re looking for an officiant or, like us, a custom ceremony script, Chelsea is simply the best. Her creativity, enthusiasm, and wit shine through in such an easygoing way that what could have been a daunting process became approachable and fun. Chelsea went above and beyond - reviewing our vows, suggesting rituals both old and new, and crafting personal readings that tied everything together. The end result was more beautiful and meaningful than we ever imagined.
There was so much to look forward to on our wedding day, but looking back, the ceremony truly shines as our favorite moment. Chelsea helped us strike the perfect balance between memories and future promises, laughter and gravity, intimacy and celebration. The number one compliment we received (all night long!!) was how much our guests loved the ceremony and how personal it felt to us. I didn’t even realize that was a compliment you could receive at a wedding, but it meant the world to us!!
To future brides and grooms: your wedding ceremony is the greatest honor you’ll ever share. Let it be one you’ll want to look back on again and again and again, thanks to Chelsea!!”

“Chelsea absolutely CRUSHED IT!! So many people came up to us and told us how professional and poised she was and how they loved the ceremony. Chelsea is an excellent officiant and an even better person. I was in a panic 2.5 weeks before the wedding when two different plans for officiants fell through. The Marrying Jane was on the recommended vendors list at The Red Barn at Outlook Farm; and when I reached out to ask if they could help, Chelsea responded that night and turned everything around. Chelsea wrote a custom ceremony, helped us with all the paperwork, and truly saved the day! I am endlessly grateful and can only hope that other couples find her at the beginning of their wedding planning journeys!”

“I recently got married in June and could not recommend working with Ren from The Marrying Jane more! She made the process seamless and took a significant weight off of our shoulders during what can be a very stressful time. She tailored our wedding ceremony perfectly to match our personalities - as if she's known us for years. Ren was beyond professional, punctual & overall a dream to work with!”
