Hannah married us this past May and we are so grateful that we used her for our officiant. From the…read morevery beginning, she was personable, genuine, and thoughtful. In all of our meetings with Hannah leading up to our ceremony, she was such a great listener and asked thoughtful questions, making us both feel completely heard and seen, creating trust and confidence in the process. Her suggestions were on point and helpful, while never feeling pushy with her own agenda for what our ceremony should look like. She was really attuned to who we are and what we wanted from the experience and always made sure to check in with us about what she understood from us. Hannah truly took the time to get to know us as individuals, as a couple and as parents to our blended family. Hannah guided us through everything leading up to the ceremony so that nothing was overlooked, making us feel safe, calm, peaceful and relaxed- which were exactly our hopes for our wedding! The service she wrote was more beautiful than we had imagined, that embodied our love and was a perfect reflection of who we are as a couple, making it apparent that she truly understood us. She thoughtfully and gracefully incorporated our children and family with tenderness and sensitivity. Our wedding ceremony was everything we wanted and more. We will cherish our vows, our ceremony and the process we shared with Hannah, for the rest of our lives. We are so grateful for Hannah shepherding us through the experience with such loving support and kindness. Darius & Cameron

From skyping with us to get to know us better to making sure that the ceremony being delivered was personal, impactful, and full of love, she is amazing. We wanted a non-religious ceremony but with respectful nods to both of our families and she nailed it. Everyone at our wedding had said that it was the most beautiful ceremony they have ever gone to. She had been nothing but amazing during the whole process, easing us into what will happen, and guiding us through everything.

Cindy helped my partner, Erin and I plan our wedding. Yes, she's obviously very gay-friendly,…read morethough she also does heterosexual weddings (and is heterosexual, herself). She had us answer questions about how we met, what we love in each other, and how we relate. We're both therapists, so we appreciated this way of delighting in our relationship through memory, experience, and our senses. Cindy then used our words and phrases to help us create a meaningful, beautiful ceremony: one that was focused on our love of poetry, our commitment to creating community, and delight in each other. In fact, since music was central to our wedding, Cindy played our song (I'm Yours, by Jason Mraz) each time she worked on our ceremony to help her get into the mood of our wedding. Part of what Cindy does so well is to honor the words, feeling, and descriptions of intentions of the people getting married. We wrote our vows with Cindy's support and editorial advice. She was there for us -- emotionally as a support, inspirationally as a guide, and organizationally as a planner. When it came time for our ceremony, we had read each other our vows several times and when we read them again, our experience of them deepened all the more. We wanted a warm-hearted, meaningful, deeply personal wedding. Our vision came true! Everyone invited to our wedding felt included, and each person told us how much they loved our wedding, how different it was from traditional weddings in that they learned so much about us as people and as a couple, and how it was THE BEST WEDDING they had ever been to! Though we are spiritual more than religious, Cindy honored that. (She is experienced in creating weddings of all denominations). She helped us put into words and experience our vision. She spent time with us, crafting her vision of what we wanted: something deeply meaningful, funny, and, warm-hearted. It's an art to put together a great wedding experience, and Cindy does this with heart. She was a full participant as well as our officiant! Her presence, her certainty of all things going well, and her willingness to provide support and guidance were central to our ceremony. She has vision. She has openness, and full centered heartfulness. We are so grateful to her! If you want a personalized wedding, Cindy Matchett (appropriately named), is your officiant! She offers her heart, soul, and her mind in creating a personalized ceremony.

When my fiance and I decided to elope, we decided that even though we were having a small ceremony,…read moreone thing that really mattered to us was having a really great officiant that could help us make the ceremony special and tailored to us and our relationship. Through a couple of referrals, we found Cindy Matchett and her Meaningfulweddings.com. Cindy was so warm, so creative, and a great listener. First she talked with us on the phone about what we were looking for, then she had us each fill out an extensive questionnaire about ourselves, our relationship, and our ideas and wishes for the wedding ceremony. Based on our input, she put together a draft ceremony with some really personally meaningful touches (she even suggested including a wine ritual since we had said we liked trying different wines!) and we revised it until we got it just perfect. We were so thrilled with the ceremony she created for us and we couldn't imagine having anyone else be part of our special day. I'd highly recommend her for couples (including same-sex couples) looking for help creating a very personal and custom wedding ceremony.

Joy married us 9 years ago this summer! We were set for a wedding celebration later but wanted to…read morebe legally married ahead of our military move. However, we didn't want a courthouse vow exchange, but an actual spiritual ceremony. We had no witnesses, so Joy kindly provided her two friends, and even married us in her own home! A tiny intimate ceremony, just us, Joy, and her two friends. Also it was opening day at the races, and Joy agreed to squeeze the ceremony in in the AM. She was SO accommodating, thoughtful, and warm. My memories of that day are wonderful. The reason I'm reviewing her now...9 years later...is that we've started considering options for vow renewal for our 10yr anniversary. And, one thought was...'I wonder if Joy is still in the marrying business? Wouldn't it be special to travel to Saratoga and renew our vows with her?' Ha! We'll see! Oh, and I should mention, we gave the middle name 'Joy' to our third daughter.

People often downplay the importance of the wedding ceremony, focusing more on the party at the…read morereception; but early on in wedding planning, I read an article that stressed the importance of the ceremony and how it will set the mood for your entire day. After our wedding in May 2015, I can wholeheartedly say that I 100% believe this, and I can tell you that you will not regret having Elly Jackson set the mood for your day. We opted for Elly's Full Love Story Wedding. It was so personalized, romantic, and at times funny. Your guests will be laughing and crying throughout. Our story gave the perfect glimpse into our relationship. The guests that weren't as familiar with our story got to learn more about us, and even the guests that were familiar told us afterwards that it was still fun to hear Elly's spin on things. I still cannot believe all the compliments we got on our ceremony. Everyone truly loved it and it really made the rest of our day that much more meaningful for everyone. A true dream come true. We knew that we wanted to hire Elly from our very first meeting. She was so kind and funny. Elly was a pleasure to work with throughout the planning and was willing to personalize our ceremony in any way that we asked. I cannot recommend hiring Elly enough. She truly will make your wedding more heartfelt, fun, and romantic than you can even imagine. Thank you so much Elly for making our day so special!

I found Elly Jackson online when researching area officiants and non denominational ministers. I…read morewas drawn to her because she actually lived in the Boston area and from her website seemed open, loving, and kind-hearted -- exactly what we wanted in a wedding officiant. Since we have no religious ties here in town and Russ is agnostic, we were looking for someone who could appeal to both of our sensibilities. Having been raised Methodist, it was important to me to have someone who would appeal to my family and friends who practice, but wouldn't offend my friends and family who practice other religions. I also liked that Elly performed Gay Marriage ceremonies -- I thought that spoke very highly of her character that she would recognize love in all forms. Russ and I then called Elly and made an appointment with her over the phone. We met in person over at her place and were welcomed so kindly. She sat us down and explained in much-appreciated detail all of our options and how she likes to perform ceremonies. I was very drawn to her because she likes to tell the couple's "Love Story" that all three of us would work on together. We submitted a bunch of answers to questions she asked and she compiled a lovely story about who we were, how we came to love, and included all of our little nuances with grace, compassion and care for who we were as individuals. Her fee for the service was $550 which is standard for wedding officiants :D I liked that she was open to use making small edits after she wrote our love story and didn't make us feel weird or awkward for wanting to make a few changes. She fully understood that this was our special day and did everything in her power to deliver us a beautiful ceremony. I loved that she also had a microphone so that everyone could hear (We had an outdoor wedding). She was very punctual for the Wedding Rehearsal and helpful in trying to work out the kinks on that stressful day. Normally people talk about how much they enjoyed a wedding reception, but with Elly Jackson as our officiant -- people couldn't stop talking about the ceremony itself and how beautiful it was and moving. Elly really brought our Love Story to life and brought all the laughter and love we wanted to the event. She's experienced in a variety of wedding styles and customs and is a great resource for trying to figure out what's right for you as a couple. Russ and I wanted to incorporate a moment of silence for family members who passed away and she did it with grace, elegance and a compassionate heart. We would recommend her to anyone, I'm proud to have had her as an officiant.

Scheduling the officiant was admittedly one of the more stressful parts of the planning. We were not doing it in a church, nor was there someone that both my husband and I were equally close to who we thought should play the role, so I worried about finding someone I did not know. But within the first phone call with Michelle, it felt like I had known her for years. She is warm, kind, supportive, and professional, and any couple would be lucky to have her.
