Overview
I have officiated weddings since January 2017. Each one has been an honor and a joy.
I specialize in traditional, bi-lingual, and nontraditional ceremonies, such as same-sex couples. I perform ceremonies in Spanish and English by weaving the two languages together in one script.
Due to the current pandemic, I can also offer virtual ceremonies. Virtual ceremonies have a silver lining in that you can extend your guest list far and wide, if you choose!
We'll work together to customize your special event.
(I am also a classically trained singer. So, if you want any part of the script to be sung, I can provide that too!)

Jan was amazing. She took time to make sure our wishes were met and injected a bit of humor to ease our nerves on this momentous day. I would definitely recommend her to others looking for a sunny, down to earth presence to facilitate their union!

Response from Bi-Lingual Wedding Officiant:
Thank you, Paki! It was my pleasure to help plan and to officiate! You picked an idyllic outdoor setting! Best wishes for this new chapter in both of your lives!

We asked Jan last minute to conduct our elopement. Jan was enthusiastic, warm and generous with agreeing on such short notice. She joined us for a celebratory toast beforehand and married us outside at one of our favorite spots. She was professional, kind and had prepared a lovely ceremony for us. She contributed to a very special moment and day for us and we couldn't be more thankful!

What to Expect
Once you have agreed to hire me as your officiant, we would meet a few times either in person or via Skype, Zoom or FaceTime (or another method that works for you), to discuss the ceremony: your ideas for how you envision the event proceeding, the order of things, rituals and/or music you want to include, number of expected guests and any of their specific needs, location, venue, etc.
I have performed wedding ceremonies in Spanish and English, weaving the two languages together into one script. I am open to nontraditional and/or cultural aspects as well as. We will work together to customize your special event.
I will also go over the logistics with you of who signs the marriage license and by when it has to be submitted. It's easy, but must be attended to soon after the festivities.
I am also a classically trained singer. So, if you want any part of the script to be sung, I can provide that as well.
About
I have been performing wedding ceremonies since January 2017. It brings me great joy and honor to participate in the sacred union of two individuals in Love. I was first inspired to become an officiant while vacationing in St. Thomas, USVI. We were often witness to beautiful beach weddings against a backdrop of ocean waves, and soft breezes that made gowns and veils come alive.
I am a graduate of Smith College, but I learned to speak Spanish years before that while working in a factory with Mexican women who didn't speak English. It was there that I immersed myself in conversation with them using my limited school-taught Spanish. Since then I have placed myself in situations to help me keep up my proficiency in the language.
