Thinking about having your good friend officiate your big day for you, but unsure of how they will do? Well what if your good friend was a professional with over 2,300 weddings under their belt? That's the best way to describe what we shoot for at MBE ... being the good friend that definitely knows what to do when the moment counts! Whether you plan to have an intimate elopement ceremony or if you've been working on your dream wedding for months, we'd love to help you make your day one to truly remember. Our goals are to help you decide exactly what you want to do on your big day and to do everything we can to make it come to life!

Having Evan officiate our wedding was one of the BEST decisions that we made during the wedding planning process. Conor and I settled on the Gold Wedding Service which included a fully customized ceremony that absolutely exceeded our and our guests expectations. Several guests asked if he was a personal friend of ours and almost EVERYONE we talked to commented on how our ceremony was beautiful, thoughtful, and personalized. We even had a few comments saying it was one of the best, most engaging ceremonies they have witnessed. From the moment we first met with Evan, he was incredibly professional and very clear that he was there for us, to help us plan the ceremony of our dreams. Meeting with him helped us remember that while all the details of a wedding are important, it is a day to celebrate our unique love story and lifelong commitment to each other. He was an incredibly grounding presence during the last weeks of planning (chaos), especially during the ceremony rehearsal. His years of experience were evident and helped us and our family to feel as prepared as anyone can be for one of the biggest moments of our lives. Additionally, he helped us, our maid of honor, and best man execute an absolutely FLAWLESS handfasting ceremony while reciting our vows. This was a dream come true for us and it was a highlight for us and our guests. We cannot say enough wonderful things about Evan. Our wedding ceremony will forever be one of the best moments of our lives. Absolutely outstanding. Thank you, Evan!

Sarah started an event/wedding planning business in 2024. Since then she has become a certified civil celebrant for the state of Virginia in 2025. Sarah made this decision because she wanted to be able to support couples in multiple ways during this process.

Working with the team at I Got A Love Jones Events was an absolute pleasure. While I communicated with Sarah anytime of day she was there and ready with a reply! She took everything in no matter how much I was confused and nervous throughout the process because of course this is a once in a lifetime experience. She took everything I said and made it beautiful! I sent her a super long poem to read for the ceremony and the delivery of it was everything I ever would want on our very special day. In all, I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to unite our union.

As an Army veteran and ordained minister, I’m dedicated to guiding couples through one of life’s most meaningful moments. With a heart for helping others and a passion for creating memorable experiences, I brings warmth, authenticity, and intention to every ceremony I officiate. I’m also a commissioned notary in the state of Alabama and I offer notary services to couples, making it easier to complete their marriage license without any additional cost, streamlining the process and ensuring every detail is handled with care.

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, Jasmine made us feel completely comfortable and welcomed. She was organized and professional, but also super warm and easy to talk to. It was clear that she creates a space where LGBTQ couples and all clients feel included and respected. Everything went smoothly, and we never felt rushed or stressed. It just made the whole process feel easy, personal, and joyful. Thank you so much!
