Jim Albani MN Wedding Officiant Reviews

My wife and I were married at Mill City Museum and we were fortunate enough to happen upon Jim Albani early enough in our planning process to secure his services for our wedding date. Our first meeting with Jim was at The Wilde Roast in NE (his recommendation) and we knew within five minutes that we wanted him to officiate our wedding ceremony. He was well-organized, amicably professional, and listened to our thoughts/concerns while providing great feed back. Exactly what we needed. We were looking for someone who seemed capable of delivering a seamless presentation. After only meeting a few times before our wedding day and without any prior rehearsal, Jim exceeded our highest expectations. He eliminated any and all worry from the entire process - allowing us to relax and focus on each other. Through thoughtful prepping and communication, he helped us to create a beautiful ceremony that accurately represented us as a couple and we couldn't be more happy with the results. Thanks Jim! Tim and Stephanie of Minneapolis, MN

"Looking back, one of the best choices we made was choosing Jim to officiate in our marriage ceremony. He made us both feel so comfortable and at ease during the most important part of the day. We are so grateful that we came into contact with him and could not imagine our special day without him."

Ana & Brent of Montrose, MN

"Jim was very professional and flexible during all of our interactions. We had a lot of friends and family involved in the service so Jim's role was more limited than he was probably used to, but he was supportive of how we wanted the service to flow. He has a calm, thoughtful, and thorough approach that we appreciated greatly. He took care of many important details behind the scenes as well. Thank you for helping to make the day memorable Jim."

"Jim Albani was amazing as our MN Wedding Officiant! He helped us along every step of the way and made the ceremony totally reflect who we are as a couple. Since we didn't have a rehearsal the night before the wedding, he came early to do a couple of walk-through runs with the whole wedding party to make everyone feel comfortable. He is professional, kind and creative and we would recommend him highly. Thanks, Jim!"

Christine & Tim of Saint Paul, MN

"My husband and I were very happy to have found Jim Albani through the Minnesota MN Wedding Officiants web site. He provided us with his Wedding Ceremony eBook, which was very helpful. It gave us ideas and helped us to create our own personalized ceremony. He was very professional and also very friendly. He even offered to help take a few photos of our entire family after the ceremony! Our family members all commented on what a wonderful ceremony we had. Thank you for everything, Jim. We really appreciate it!" Chris and Sylvia of Farmington, MN

"Jim was amazing! Our wedding was so personal, unique, and creative. Many people gave me compliments on the ceremony . I couldn't have been any happier! Thanks Jim!!!!"

Sammie of Zimmerman, MN

"Jim did a very wonderful job with putting together our special day! HE made every attempt to make it perfect for us. He meets with you, in person, before the big day, not just email or phone. He was very interested in getting to know us so that we felt like it was a friend doing the ceremony not some person from the court house doing it because they have to. I highly recommend hiring Jim as your MN Wedding Officiant!"

Jennifer and Leon of Mankato, MN

"We had a fabulous experience with Jim as our MN Wedding Officiant. He was easy to work with and tailored our ceremony to meet our needs. Jim was very personable and put a personal touch on our ceremony as well as being very inclusive and respectful of Caren's children. I would highly recommend Jim for any type of ceremony."

Cris Anderson MN Wedding Officiant Reviews

“You have a special talent. We appreciate your ability to create poignant and meaningful moments when we were all gathered together. We didn't expect the level of support and help you gave us, and we are so grateful. Your words during the ceremony, and the way you captured the meaning of the day, were so touching and appropriate. You were so respectful of our spiritual and religious backgrounds and those of our families and you really helped make everyone feel at ease. We fully endorse your working as an officiant with other couples.”

Jill Englund MN Wedding Officiant Reviews

We are spiritual but not religious, and although we didn’t want a church wedding, we wanted a ceremony that would reflect our spirituality. Jill Englund took our ideas and wove them together to create a beautiful, unique ceremony that reflected who we are and what we believe. She has a calm but powerful presence that makes people want to listen to her. Our guests all asked where she preaches because they want to be in her church. Did we mention she is also a rock and roll singer? Jill is very cool, and we highly recommend her as a MN Wedding Officiant.

Jennifer Anderson of Minneapolis, MN

"We knew we were in good hands with Jill Englund from the very beginning. She had all the information we needed and more, and she was a pleasure to work with. We particularly appreciated Jill’s creativity with a few special and very poignant moments in our ceremony. Her insight and experience really paved the way for us – our ceremony was beautiful and utterly unforgettable."

Betsy & Todd of Minneapolis, MN

"Jill performed our outside ceremony July 17th in rural Starbuck for 300 guests. The moment I met with her, my worries instantly faded and I knew she would make our wedding day wonderful. She made it such a memorable occasion and did a fabulous job before, during, and after the ceremony. There were so many of our guests that commented on how great of a job she did as well. We are both so happy with our choice we made to have Jill perform our ceremony. Thank you to Jill and MN Officiants."

Mark Scannell MN Wedding Officiant Reviews

We loved Mark from the moment we met him for a number of reasons. Mark has an abundance of exceptional qualities and skills. He is funny, light-hearted and a great listener. Most importantly, he is patient. He took the time to understand the unique qualities my husband and I were bringing to the table, offered ideas for the ceremony. Ultimately, he afforded us the freedom to make our own choices. Simply stated, he was a guide for our marriage journey and someone we grew to trust immensely. Other skills that Mark exemplifies are his ability to communicate, to manage and organize multiple details. Having never done this before, we found Marks’ organizational skills and knowledge of wedding details, timelines and critical actions needed as keys to our success. My husband and I would highly recommend inviting Mark to work with you in planning your wedding.

Cara Tollefson MN Wedding Officiant Reviews

We very much enjoyed having Cara perform our wedding ceremony. She was willing to work with us to tailor a ceremony that was personal, meaningful, and unique. Everything went beautifully on the day of the wedding and several of our friends and family members commented on what a lovely ceremony we had. Cara was professional and friendly and put us at ease on this important day in our lives! We would highly recommend Cara to other couples looking for a wonderful MN Wedding Officiant.

Thank you Cara.

Tim and Erica, Minneapolis, MN

My daughter Jaisa and her fiancé Shane were married May 29, 2010. Cara Tollefson was their MN Wedding Officiant. After several interviews Cara was selected because of her compassion and unique ceremonial arrangement.

On the first day of the rest of Jaisa and Shane's lives together the performance by Cara was extremely honoring and respectful. I would like to thank Cara for the beauty and meaning she added to their ceremony and recommend her to all those selecting an Officiant on their most important day.
