If we could give Jennifer higher than a 5-star rating, we would - she was wonderful! She crafted a nearly perfect ceremony after talking with us, and she was very accepting of our tweaks and ideas for adjustments to the ceremony. We ended up with a ceremony that felt meaningful and perfect for us. Her presence is very peaceful, loving and calming. Many of our guests asked us "where in the world did you find her?" because they were so impressed with the ceremony. We are so glad that we found Jennifer.

Jennifer was wonderful to work with. Despite a 2+ hour drive, she came for both the rehearsal and the wedding. She was so flexible in providing the type of ceremony we wanted, which was great after having interviewed another officiant, a retired minister, who was "my way or the highway" and basically handed us a script and asked us to sign off on it. Jennifer was knowledgeable about a variety of ways to do the different parts of the ceremony and on advising us on the flow and sequencing. On the day of our wedding, she was very reassuring and put us right at ease. Throughout, Jennifer was very communicative and straightforward. We said that after the wedding, we definitely felt like it was exactly what we wanted and it was customized to our needs and beliefs. We would recommend Faith in Marriage without hesitation.

Jennifer is A-MAZ-ING! First, she is very communicative. She ALWAY answered her e-mails and voicemails. She wrote the most gorgeous, personalized ceremony for us, and then she was completely and totally open to me tweakinga and re-writing. She has a calm, quiet, and happy spirit - just what you WANT at the happiest day of your life.I found her on Wedding Wire! What a blessing the internet is because truly, I really can't imagine anyone else doing our wedding.Her voice is soothing and joyful (not overly bubbly, just relaxed and peacefully happy). She didn't stumble on a word - sounded like she knew each word by heart, and the whole ceremony was just that much better and happier being presided over by her.She was RIGHT ON TIME, unobtrusive, went with the flow, and did a beautiful job. I can only get married once, but at vow renewal time, I'm calling Jennifer!!!!

Would definitely recommend to anyone. She was easy going and patient with me. Just in talking with Jennifer over the phone she put together vows that were just about perfect for us without ever meeting in person. Very trustworthy & professional.

Rev. Ashcraft was absolutely wonderfull. The only reson she has 4 stars for value for cost is NOT that she was'nt perfect, she was. In fact we will never be sorry for the decision to use her. However, we believe the fee for services for ALL officiants is high. She is very comparable to other officiants and is very careful to make sure her service suites your needs. The service was beautiful and personalized. Her voice is wonderful and her words stay with you long after service is over. Rev. Ashcraft is very easy to talk to and extremely patient with nervous brides that have tons of what seem like silly questions. She gives specific instructions that only require you to have her at the rehearsal if you are really nervous. This can really save you money! Which anybody getting married knows that is a MUST!!!Thank you so much Rev. Ashcraft you are such a blessing!!

My wife Meredith and I were married in 2010 at the House Mountain Inn in Lexington, VA. Jennifer was great!! She met us in Richmond and went over the ceremony with us and made us very comfortable with her ceremony. She also came out Friday for the rehearsal dinner. She was great at the ceremony, we got tons of compliments on our Officiant. She gave us a bunch of ideas and helped us to make the ceremony "our" ceremony instead of generic. She did a great job and I highly recommend her anyone!!-The Hawkins'

Jennifer was just wonderful to work with! My husband and I both highly recommend her services. We couldn't have found a better Officiant. She was very flexible and creative when it came to helping us to create a personalized ceremony just for us. She was quick to respond to all of my e-mails and phone calls and very easy to work with. She is down to Earth and just an all around really nice person and if that's not enough, she's very reasonably priced too! Stuart and I were 110% pleased with our decision to hire Jennifer as our Officiant for our special day.

Reverend Ashcraft was so great - so glad we found her. She was very responsive and flexible in letting us have a great deal of input, while providing us with a lot of information and feedback. When she got to the ceremony site, she was patient with the chaos, and had a calming presence. She performed the ceremony beautifully and thoughtfully. Her voice projected well without any speakers, etc. I highly recommend her, she was wonderful!!

We were so incredibly lucky to find Rev. Jennifer Ashcraft, of Faith in Marriage. Jennifer is warm, personable, sincere and devoted to what she does. She really took the time to get to know us, listened to us, and provided uniquely personal services. I had complete confidence in her throughout the planning and the big day itself. For me and my husband, the ceremony was the most important part of our wedding. Jennifer insured that it was perfect. Our family and friends commented on what a great job she did and how much they loved the ceremony. I cannot thank Jennifer enough for making our wedding so special.

Jennifer did a wonderful job with the ceremony. I talked to her on the phone and told her what I wanted my ceremony to be like and she sent me a bunch of things to look over. We read through all the stuff cut out things we didn't like and added things we did. She put everything together and made it perfect. It was the most beautiful ceremony that I have ever seen.

Jennifer was amazing. She was a fellow alumni worked well with our idea and was very flexible at the rehearsal when everything kept changing. We spoke to her over the phone first and felt it was a good fit. We never met face to face until the actual rehearsal. She did charge a travel fee for both the rehearsal and wedding. Personally I thought one travel fee would have been fine not too. But I think she was well worth it to have the ceremony personalized to match our personalities and as she read you can tell it was specifically about us.I'll leave it at this my new husband nearly cried during the ceremony.

Reverend Jennifer Ashcroft provided us with a fantastic and personal wedding ceremony. She listened to our desires and created an ideal ceremony that matched who we were as a couple. Reverend Ashcroft was relaxed, attentive, and very easy to communicate with. We felt at ease from our first meeting and are so thankful we found her. You will not be disappointed with the ceremony she creates for you! ---Earl and Leslie Gibson
