Your Ceremony With Spirit - Wedding Planning Near Me

Jinnae was an absolute darling to work with for our wedding. She met with us in person months in advance to go over the details of our ceremony (for those that aren't local to the area, she also offers Zoom call consultations.) After our meeting, she drafted a comprehensive Google document to describe the sequence of the ceremony as well as what she plans on saying for each segment, so there is no surprise to the couple on the day of the wedding. We were able to make edits in real time and she would make the adjustments necessary so that we were satisfied with her work. That being said, on our wedding day, the ceremony did not feel scripted at all -- quite the opposite actually! The way Jinnae delivers her words is very authentic and spiritual, and she does so in such a calming manner, all the while reading the audience and knowing when to squeeze in a bit of humor should the atmosphere call for it. We received positive comments from our guests saying how much they loved our officiant's demeanor, and how meditative they felt during the entire ceremony. Our photographer also complimented Jinnae's timing: he said that the ceremony was just the perfect duration. Not too long and not too short. My family is Filipino, and my parents made a request to incorporate "Mano Po" and the cord and veil traditions into our ceremony, which were previously outside of Jinnae's experience. But she spent a considerable amount of her own time to learn about our culture so that she can seamlessly add these traditions into our ceremony, which we greatly appreciated. After our wedding day, she mailed our marriage license to the respective office, and even provided me with advice on how to deal with the office's slow processing times. You will not be disappointed in choosing Jinnae as your officiant. She goes above and beyond, and even provides inspiration for wedding vows, readings, special ceremony additions, etc. If you want a hassle-free wedding ceremony, look no further than Your Ceremony with Spirit! read more

COVID changed our wedding plans twice, and we finally decided on a small wedding but with a tight timeline. We were immediately relieved to find Jinnae, who quickly put all of our nerves at ease. Jinnae had great recommendations for the structure of the ceremony, specifically how things could work well for a smaller wedding. She recommended several things that we ended up incorporating. Jinnae even took the time to meet us in person while we were in California to go through all the details. She was professional, organized and very prompt in helping put together the perfect ceremony for us, incorporating all of our feedback and personal details. On the day of, Jinnae was right on time and ready to go with all the documents and materials prepared. The ceremony itself was beautiful and had most of us in tears. Jinnae flawlessly delivered exactly what we were looking for and the ceremony was the highlight of the event. She had the great suggestion of incorporating our family members in parts like readings, and the wine box ceremony that made the whole thing feel that much more personal.

Jinnae is a beautiful person; you immediately feel at home when you meet her. She has a naturally comforting presence, which I appreciated immensely going through stresses of life (and wedding planning.) For our ceremony, Jinnae crafted a story that was unique to me and my husband. Meeting with Jinnae to discuss our ceremony and tell our story was the first time I really paused and considered the beautiful thing we were setting out to do-- get married! During the ceremony, Jinnae had the same effect on every guest -- allowing everyone to pause, reflect, and savor it all. She told our love story beautifully and had everyone crying and laughing. A ton of guests commented to me specifically how much they enjoyed the ceremony. Jinnae put everyone in the right mindset and reminded us why we were all there. It was an absolute joy working with her and she really did make our day amazing. I can't recommend her enough! read more

Jinnae was wonderful! From the early planning stages all the way up to the day of the wedding Jinnae was wonderful. She took the time to get to know our individual personalities and learned what traits made our relationship special. She crafted all these things into a loving speech at the wedding. We didn't want a blink and the ceremony is over kind of wedding, but we didn't want to have our guests sit for too long and Jinnae understood this. Jinnae was always timely and responsive to our needs. When Covid ruined our May wedding plans Jinnae was flexible with us, and made our new August date work without a hitch.

Jinnae is the best. Smooth, comfortable and natural as an officiant. I'm a wedding DJ and work with all types of officiants 1-2 times a week. I really need to work as a team with whoever is running the show during a ceremony. The best officiants understand we need to review the plan, have a cue or 2 set up so timing is perfect, + they need to be comfortable and not sound robotic when talking. Jinnae is one of my favorites. She is fantastic to work with. read more

Jinnae performed our ceremony April 13 at The Stone House. What an incredible moment. Even though we met ahead of time to discuss the content, select the vows, write the script and do the rehearsal, the ceremony was more than we could have dreamed of. It was poetic, emotional, and fit our values and personalities perfectly. It was as if Jinnae had known us for years. She was truly able to capture the nature of our individual spirits and encapsulate them in her readings, blessings and ceremony style. She was able to portray two of the most strongly independent and confident individuals as an even stronger union and this was very important to us. Jinnae tailored the language and sentiment of the service to meet our feelings and beliefs about marriage. Our family and guests commented on how personal and unique our ceremony was. Thank you Jinnae. read more

I highly recommend Jinnae - she was such a wonderful officiant every step of the way leading up to our wedding. We met in person with Jinnae several times, in addition to e-mail conversations and phone calls. She had very touching and unique suggestions for the vows to make them memorable (blessing of the hands, knot tying ceremony, rose ceremony), and even added her own unique touch with short stories and details from our previous conversations together. We felt completely comfortable leaving the details to Jinnae - she even thought to collect the marriage certificate during the rehearsal, and mailed it in for us the following day. After the ceremony was over, our guests even came up to us and complimented the way she was able to captivate everyone's attention and convey emotions not only with her words, but also with her manner of speaking. From the first time we met Jinnae, we knew she would be the perfect person to conduct our ceremony. She genuinely loves what she does, and that comes out in one-on-one conversations, as well as the way she interacted with our close family the day of our wedding. read more

I could never express how magical it was to have Jinnae apart of our wedding day. From the moment we met her we could immediately tell by her warm spirit that she was beyond the perfect match for us. We knew that our ceremony would be nice, but not until we met Jinnae did we have an idea on how incredible it would turn out. The whole experience was so exciting and relaxing at the same time, and the best part was knowing that she was genuinely happy and excited to be apart of our wedding day too. She invested so much time and energy into making our ceremony so personal to our love and relationship. It was wonderful knowing that she wanted to help us create our ceremony uniquely just for us. She let us decide what we wanted and did not care for in our service and then put her own flare on it. We could really feel that she wanted to get to know us on a intimate level and was truly passionate about seeing our love shine threw the ceremony above all else. We wanted to incorporate an old Irish tradition called "The True Lovers Knot" into our ceremony and she had not done this before. She was very excited to learn more about it so she went home, did research, and made a whole segment that was very sweet and meaningful. Jinnae's kindness and loving spirit shined through in her words on our wedding day for everyone to feel. Our ceremony was perfect! Jinnae is incredible and I will recommend her to everyone I know because I know she will make their day just as unique and special for them. read more
