Choosing Your Officiant
“Your love together is just too important not to have the best available
official  "up there" with you.  You only have one wedding day, one beginning
and one ceremony.”

To have an excellent ceremony, it takes an official who is both professional and
flexible.  Just coming out to satisfy the legal requirement and doing a run
of the mill ceremony is not what Dr. Janine is about.

Although ceremonies are not necessarily long in physical time, they should be very
powerful and set the tone for your marriage together.

Dr. Janine’s goal is to do an awesome ceremony for you so that you may look back
on your wedding day, and be able say to your spouse:  "You know honey,
Janine did a fantastic job for us."

Types Of Ceremonies:
Offered in any location, both traditional and non-traditional places, indoors an out, on land and sea.
