Minnesota Officiants

My officiant was Jill Englund. She did a great job performing the outdoor ceremony for my wedding. She was very flexible to work with and had a great attitude. I got many compliments on the ceremony from our guests. Overall I would recommend her hands down to anyone looking for an officiant :)

Jim was amazing and helped us write a wonderful ceremony. All of our guests said it was one of those most wonderful weddings they had been to because of the special touches Jim adds to the ceremony.

Jim Albani Was fantastic in every way possible and made our wedding day absolutely perfect. From the moment I contacted him via email I knew he was the right officiant for us. I especially loved his customized ceremonies, as we were not looking to have a traditional religious ceremony. The samples he provided for content were way above and beyond that which I had invisioned, and exceeded our expectations in every way possible. The personalizations he provided including the rose and hand ceremonies were so meaningful to us and helps set the stage for a long lasting marriage. This guy was absolutely great and would definitely recommend him to anyone engaged to be married!

Jill was extremely supportive and kept me on track with my plans. She created an outline for me with suggestions and showed me where I could look for creative choices to plug and play into the various sections of the ceremony. She found a way for my 9-year old daughter to be included in the ceremony and Jill fit right in with my family and friends on the big day. I was extremely pleased with her service and her professional support took a lot of the stress off of my plate!

Jim Albani makes everything so easy!!! He is so well organized that you do not have to worry about anything with your ceremony. He has an eBook that lays everything out (and you have a say in everything you want). Most importantly, he knows how to calm down an OCD groom haha. Our wedding was in December and it was one of the first snow falls. The ceremony was delayed because of the snow and as I was taking pictures Jim was calming down my groom about the snow delay. He has a great sense of humor and really enjoys what he does. If I could do it all over again, Jim would be my Officiant. Thank you, thank you, thank you Jim! From, Jeff and Jami Parker

It was a pleasure working with Jill Englund. She was very professional and had great ideas to make our ceremony memorable. We received many positive comments about her "Love Story" idea. It was both beneficial for our relationship and entertaining for our guests. We would recommend any persons not closely affiliated with a specific church to request the services of Jill. She catored to our religious values, provided useful ceremony materials and experience, and delivered a great performance.

With less than a month before the wedding, we were still looking for a wedding officiant when we found Kate! She was very helpful in getting us started thinking about what we wanted in a ceremony, and gave us their wedding ceremony ebook to look over until we could meet. We loved her as soon as we met her! She was very nice and professional, and made us feel at ease right away. We went over the whole ceremony. In the few weeks before the wedding she was very quick at answering any of the questions that we had. Kate did everything she could to make our ceremony memorable, special and personal! Everyone still talks about how wonderful the ceremony was. We are so happy we went with Kate, and we highly recommend her! Thank you so much Kate for making our wedding day special!

We did a lot of research to choose our officinat and ended up choosing Jill Englund from Minnesota Officiants to perform our wedding ceremony. We could not have been happier with our decision! Jill was just amazing!!! From day one she was extremely responsive and helpful.

After our initial meeting we walked away knowing that Jill has a special gift for working with people. She makes you feel so comfortable and at ease, like we had known her for years!!

She arrived early for our ceremony and immediately was helping resolve our last minute hiccup of forgetting our music. When I was told she was helping pick something new out I knew I could totally relax as I completely trusted her judgement. She kept things moving on time and had such a strong calming presence.

Our ceremony was wonderful and very personable thanks to Jill! She patiently encouraged and worked with us to make sure our ceremony was special for us and our guests. She had our guests both laughing and tearful, with everyone commenting on what a great job she did.

We would highly recommend Jill, she is honestly one of the best in her field!!

Jill Englund was a wonderful officiant for our wedding and we couldn't have asked for a better officiant or ceremony. Jill was professional and responded quickly to any questions we had. Jill took the time to talk with us in order to help us decide on what type of ceremony we wanted. Jill was open and flexible to tweaking each part of the ceremony in order to reflect what we wanted. Jill did a wonderful job running our rehearsal and keeping everyone on track. We loved our ceremony and Jill made us feel at ease. We had so many compliments from guests afterwards on what a wonderful job Jill did and that they loved the "Love Story." We would recommend Jill as an officiant to anyone and we're so glad she was a part of our ceremony.

Jill Englund was a fantastic officiant! She was very quick to respond to my email inquiries. We had a great time meeting with her to plan the ceremony - she is very helpful, kind and down to earth. Creating the ceremony with her help was very easy. The ceremony turned out to be very personal and exactly what we wanted - my mom has thanked me daily for finding such a wonderful officiant. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a truly special wedding ceremony!

Jill did an excellent job performing our wedding ceremony. She was very professional, organized, in control and easy to work with. We had a few minor problems with the venue during the ceremony. Jill very calmly handled the issue and continued on with the ceremony. She handled the situation well. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. I would definitely recommend Jill to any of my friends or family.

It was easy and a great experience working with Jill Englund. She allowed us to create a ceremony that we wanted and provided us with great suggestions and ideas to make it even better! I couldn't thank her enough and it was a pleasure having her with us on our special day. I am so thankful for her patience and flexibility! - Mai Shoua & Sai

When our officiant backed out at the last minute, MN Officiants came through to help us find an available minister, and they did it very quickly! We were extremely lucky that Jill Englund was available because she was fantastic! I cannot recommend her enough! She was prompt in contacting us and was very helpful in tweaking our ceremony to make it even more special. She arrived in plenty of time and helped us get it together those last moments before the ceremony when you are super frazzled and nervous. We were comfortable with her from the start, and with her help our ceremony went smoothly. Everyone was raving afterward that it was the best ceremony they had been to and we couldn't agree more! Her "4 Questions" made it very personalized and special. If you are in need of an officiant, look no further because Jill is your gal!!

I will be the first to tell you that I was nervous when we looked for our Officiant for our wedding. We met Jill Englund to see if she would fit the style that we were looking for. We talked about the family logistics that were a concern for us, (the grooms parents were not invited). Jill brought ideas up to us that we had not thought of which put us at ease. After talking it out, we felt very comfortable in trusting what Jill thought. Jill had us e-mail her our vows and then responded back with questions of how to "fine-tune" our vows to make them custom for us. She was very professional and our wedding went smooth as could be. I would highly recommend her for your special occasion.

Jill was everything we could have asked for and more in an officiant. She was friendly, understanding, organized, quick to respond to e-mails, and overall a very kind, open-minded, and open-hearted person. We had a blast joking around with her at the rehearsal, and when I got frustrated with my bridal party and had a mini-meltdown, she just kept right on trucking through what needed to get done without getting dragged into my personal drama. She always knew what needed to be done and was always honest and to the point. Jill had great suggestions for details we hadn't even thought about, and clearly has a lot of experience officiating and mitigating sudden problems. She was a great public speaker and has a very calming voice when she officiates, so it was just an overall great experience. I can't imagine having chosen anyone but Jill, especially for a diverse ceremony like ours where people all have different backgrounds, beliefs, and relationships to one another. If we ever do a re-commitment ceremony, I'm calling Jill again. Seriously.

Cara did an amazing job making our wedding ceremony so personal and so heartfelt. We had so many compliments on the personal reflections that she offered as a suggestion to add - it really made our guests feel the love that Brian and I share for each other. Cara made that happen and we thank her from the bottom of our hearts! We felt that every detail was taken care of by Cara for our ceremony and our wedding party spoke of her professionalism and organziation highly!

Jill Englund from MN wedding officiants did our wedding and it was amazing. She was not only quick on getting back to us with all of our questions, but she really cared about what she was doing. The ceremony was beautiful and came from the heart. She helped us plan a great spot to get married outside that we would have never thought of. We recommend for anyone to go through Jill for their ceremony!

Nancy was a perfect fit for us! She took time to really get to know us and listened to what we wanted and then added her suggestions from her years of experience which in all came together to make one perfect wedding ceremony for us. We loved her!!

Jim worked with us to make sure that we had the ceremony that we really wanted. It was clear from the begining that having a ceremony that best reflected us and our relationship was very important to him. He also was very flexiable with our schedule. And when we post-poned our wedding, he worked his schedule again and was there with us on our big day.

Cris Anderson was the perfect match for our wedding ceremony! He was so personable and really wanted to get to know you and your story. We met with him a couple times before our big day which was great because by the time the wedding came around he felt like a friend rather than just a guy that is marrying us! We couldn't have been happier with Cris! He made our day extra special! :)

Jill was a delight to work with during our wedding process. Besides being professional, she was extremely warm and friendly. Any question I had she promptly answered and had no problem meeting up to go over things. She was also wonderful during the ceremony. We had a small, intimate ceremony and she hit just the perfect note for it. Thank you so much Jill!

Jim was a pleasure to work with! He added cute touches to the ceremony that made it personal and had a great sense of humor that included the audience. I would definitely recommend him for your wedding ceremony!

We used Jill as our wedding officiant and she was wonderful! She was so professional and quick with all emails. She really allowed us to make our ceremony exactly how we wanted and used her expertise to put it all together! So many of our guests told us how much they loved our ceremony and Jill! She did a wonderful job, couldn't have asked for anything better!

Jill was outstanding!! She was so flexibly and was willing to give tips and idea. She had a awesome personality. Also Jill replied back to email very quickly!

Jill is the best and would be missing out without her!!

We couldn't have been happier with Jill! Upon the first meeting, we knew she was just the type of officiant we were looking for: personable, flexible, not at all pushy, genuine, and--most importantly--respectful of our needs and wishes for our ceremony. She was open to anything and everything that we wanted to do, and was extremely quick in providing feedback to our ideas. Jill's professionalism and friendliness confirmed to us that we were putting our ceremony in good hands, and she delivered as promised. Our ceremony went perfectly, and we have Jill to thank for it!

We couldn't have been happier with Jill pronouncing us husband and wife! She was responsive with any questions, call or emails I sent her. She was professional, flexible and there to offer suggestions or advice. She asked what we would like her to wear to the ceremony and she looked great! I would recommend Jill in a heart beat- You won't be disappointed.

Jill did a wonderful job. We received so many complements on the service everyone was asking how we met her.

We go camping every summer with our cousins. This year, Chris and I decided to surprise everyone with a wedding. While everyone was busy at the lake, I went to town for "allergy medicine". I came back in my wedding dress, with our officiant Jim, and we got married right there, by the lake, where we were all camped out for the day. It could not have been more perfect. We didn't get a chance to meet Jim before the ceremony, but it was like he had known us for years. Chris and I were blown away by the readings Jim chose for us. Everyone was surprised and it was awesome!!!
I would definitely recommend Jim to everyone I know. He was fantastic!!!!

I would highly recommend Jim Albani to any couples looking for someone to perform their wedding ceremony.

He was courteous and professional every time we met with him, was very accommodating to the specific needs of our ceremony, and presented us with a wide variety of options to choose from to craft our ceremony. He was always on time and, during the ceremony itself, he crafted an improvised introduction that was touching and unique.

We received a lot of positive feedback from our guests about how much they enjoyed the ceremony and we have no regrets whatsoever about choosing Jim to be part of our big day.

I would suggest Jim Albani to any future bride. He was very organized and made the ceremony process fun, easy and personal. Jim customized the readings and content in a way that felt like he knew us for years. We were so happy with our wedding day and thank Minnesota Officiants!

Jim Albani was the officiant for our March wedding. We received many compliments on the actual ceremony. He was professional and helped us through every step of the ceremony process. He met with us multiple times and provided us with several examples of possible wording for our ceremony. We were able to personalize our ceremony so that is reflected us and our blended family.

Jill was wonderful to work with from beginning to end. She eased many of our worries about the ceremony and made everything easy. She had many ideas for how do everything in the ceremony explaining the more traditional aspects and giving us more modern ideas as well. I would highly recommend her for anyone's wedding ceremony.

Jill was wonderful! I felt like I had known her my whole life from the very first email conversation. She is knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. She is very easy to get a hold of when you need her and emails and phone calls were answered promptly. At the actual ceremony, she calmed our nerves and guided us through the ceremony. I would recommend her to all of my family and friends! You won't regret working with Jill! : )

Jill was great at responding to all emails in a timely manner which is great for me since email was my lifeline during the whole planning process. I was working 2 jobs and going to school fulltime so I needed someone that could correspond thru email with me. She was very professional and did a great job officiating the ceremony. Everything ran very smoothly with her leading the way. Thanks, Jill!

Jill Englund was our officiant and she was wonderful. She was always very responsive to my questions and concerns. She was awesome for our rehearsal and ceremony, directing people and helping us come up with a perfect ceremony. She did a wonderful job!

The service was a warm service- not cold which is what we expected. The officiant asked us specifically what we wanted and asked if he could make an addition. It was exactly what we wanted- short- friendly- and touching!

Cara was very professional, very helpful and very insightful. We couldn't have been happier with an officiant.

Jill did a great job during our ceremony! Her 4 questions we each answered (and sent to her separately) made for a great sharing of our story for our guests and each other (because neither of us saw the answers the other provided). She was even happy to mimic the bishop from The Princess Bride for a few lines which brought some laughs to out ceremony. We had several compliments from guests about her performance and enjoyed both her service and willingness (and experience) to make suggestions that ultimately made the day better!

Minnesota Officiants have been to 413 on Wacouta several times and I am always impressed with whomever has been chosen by the couple to officiate. They take the guess work out of the term "flow"....

Jim Albani has an easy going style with attention to creating a ceremony that reflects the wishes of each couple. He is a delightful individual who is very experienced at orchestrating the many details of a wedding while making it personal as well. All of the officiants that I have worked with at Minnesota Officiants have performed beautiful ceremonies and have worked ahead of time with me to coordinate the music. Your wedding is in good hand with Minnesota Officiants!
