“We had always wanted our ceremony to be the most important and cherished part of our wedding experience, and having Jennifer be our officiant truly made that dream a reality. She made us feel like we were the only people in the world getting married with her incredible dedication to detail, the deep care and time she put into crafting exactly what we had hoped for, and her unendingly warm and grounding energy on our big day. 
My husband and I have very fluid but personally important spiritual backgrounds that we wanted to respect and represent in our ritual and Jennifer wove the perfect web of all of our beliefs and identities so it felt exactly right and like us. Not to mention we also had an absolute downpour on our wedding day and had to move the whole ceremony to an indoor venue none of us had seen before and Jennifer adapted with unbelievable ease that made us all feel like everything was going to be more than okay. 
Every single guest told us it was one of the most memorable ceremonies they had ever seen, and I can honestly say that it will be the part of our experience that will stay with me through my whole life. We can’t thank her enough, or recommend you work with her more highly. ”

““Terry and I just wanted to thank you again for your wonderful officiation! Your tone and delivery were just perfect, not to mention your help prior to the event. Who knew that getting married in a pandemic could be so much fun?””

“Jennifer married us during the most challenging circumstances—the COVID-19 pandemic. Our dream was to be married on Peter’s 50th birthday, but it looked like this was not going to be possible. But Jennifer saved the day! With only a few days to prepare, she wrote a beautiful ceremony that told our love story—from our chance meeting to our decision to live together; from our engagement in Italy to our life together in New York City. She weaved in a favorite poem and a quote from a favorite author (Virginia Woolf) and she also talked about some of the special moments we have shared and what we truly love about each other. We cannot say enough about the beautiful script Jennifer wrote or the loving way in which she delivered it. And she did not miss a beat when our wedding moved from being in-person to streaming on Zoom. She made our friends and family all feel welcome—as if they were with us in our home. Thank you, Jennifer, for making our dream come true!”

“Jennifer brings a unique blend of talents to the ceremonies that she officiates. Singer-songwriter, poet, performer and expert listener; Jen can effortlessly manage a large group of excited wedding guests and create the ceremony that you have in your heart. We wanted our ceremony to be meaningful and memorable. Not the usual wedding where the minister/celebrant waxes philosophical about the meaning of love and marriage. It was important to us that our guests and loved ones felt involved and learnt something new about us as a couple. Jennifer deftly weaved our love story into the ceremony itself and as many of our guests noted “there was not a dry eye in the house”. Jennifer set a tone of warmth, inclusivity and love, without oversentimentality. It was the wedding that we had hoped for and it was perfect. Thank you Jen!”

“Thank you so much for officiating our wedding! It was a beautiful ceremony. We had friends and family coming up to us and saying how nice it was, and how they felt like they knew our relationship better. You really did an incredible job; we are so happy with how things turned out. It’s something we’ll remember for the rest of our lives, thank you for being a part of it with us.”

“I had the joy of collaborating with Jennifer on a wedding ceremony I co-officiated in California. Jennifer brings her unique gifts to the rituals she leads: her poetic sensibilities coupled with her rare talent for making everyone feel truly welcome, and deeply connected to the proceedings. I was delighted to watch Jennifer touch, inspire, and unite the community through her skill with language, and strong presence as a guide through an emotional rite of passage. She thoughtfully crafted a very personal and individualized experience that resonated with this particular couple and their community. With her knowledge of ritual, grace in leadership, and finesse in expressing the inexpressible through music and poetry, I would personally choose her as a minister to support my community through any life event.”

“Jennifer was amazing! She officiated our wedding in early December 2021 and we could not have been more happy. Our friends and family were so impressed with the love and personality that was poured into every part of our ceremony. They couldn’t stop talking about how wonderful it was - she truly nailed us as a couple! Anyone would be super lucky to work with Jennifer in preparation for their special day!”

“Thank you so much Jennifer for a magnificent job at officiating. You were truly a pleasure to work with and made the process extremely easy. In fact, we got so many compliments on the ceremony itself and on you in particular. I think we hit all the right notes during the ceremony and that is much thanks to you.”

“Jennifer married my husband and I in May 2016. She took time to learn about our love story, our traditions, how we pictured our ceremony, and what elements were most important to us. She goes above and beyond to make your ceremony genuine and unique. To say our ceremony was absolutely perfect wouldn’t sing enough praise. To this day our friends still talk about our ceremony and I can’t count the number of people who said, “that was the most beautiful ceremony I have ever been to!” Jennifer’s captivates the room her eloquence, sincerity, and charm. After the wedding she gave us a copy of our ceremony to cherish for the rest of our lives. We are eternally grateful that Jennifer was the one to usher us into this new chapter in our lives!”

“It is my pleasure to recommend Ms. Jennifer Milich as an officiant at occasions such as memorials. She officiated at a Memorial for my sister-in-law. She was thorough and professional, making sure she spoke to the family at length to ensure she understood our wishes and the character and life of the deceased. She was sensitive to our needs and created a memorial ceremony that was not only kind and compassionate but creative and heartfelt. She guided us and encouraged us through a difficult grief process while, at the same time, honoring the memory and life of our dear departed. A special moment was when Ms. Milich, a gifted musician and singer, led us in the singing of “Bridge Over Troubled Waters.” At the end, we were left grateful that we had chosen someone who made, through her personal qualities and professional demeanor, very difficult moments bearable and memorable.”

“Thank you for the beautiful ceremony. We are so moved by your beautiful words. You made this even more magical than we could’ve hoped for.”

“Not only was I fortunate enough to find the right woman to marry but I also found the right woman to marry us. The time & effort Jen put into preparing the ceremony was priceless. You could see it in her eyes & face as she learned about my bride & I. How we met , the proposal & then even suggested some rituals that made a special day that much more special.
Our wedding date was several months ago & as we catch up with guests , every single one of them has made it a point to say what a beautiful touching ceremony it was.
I myself have been to three weddings since mine & while the ministers that officiated their ceremonies were very nice , they did not come anywhere near to the heartfelt ceremony Jennifer Milich prepared for us.
Now I really understand why when Jen was referred to us that our friend had touted that she is a poet , songwriter , singer & performer as these skill sets make her great & truly special. ”

“Having spent a decade or so of co-producing events with Jennifer, here at House Gallery and across Brooklyn, I can avow her natural strengths : warm guidance, contagious joy in community, and invisible problem-solving. Her attention to detail and clever intuition make her both host and mother to the arts, and a true witness to the passages of life and its ritual. ”
