    Best.officiant.ever

    Jill was the absolute best Officiant we could have asked for. She was extremely personable and took everyone's thoughts into account for the ceremony and made sure that it was personalized and perfect for us. She made sure both of our families were comfortable with everything. She also kept it extremely light hearted and made sure we were happy with everything prior to the ceremony. She is the absolute best we could've asked for and we will highly recommend her to everyone we can.

    Rev. Jill Dillner's reply:

    Congratulations again! Thank you for your kind words. They mean so much to me. I am blessed to have the best couples! I am glad I was able to keep everyone at ease and in the right headspace to enjoy the ceremony! Thank you for choosing me to share your day!❤️

    Highly recommend

    Rev. Jill made our day so special! It felt like we were old friends. I was so worried that I would have felt awkward with someone I did not know & that was not the case. The energy she brings is unmatched. The vows she has are beautiful & all of our guests said they loved her ceremony! I would recommend Rev. Jill to everyone! She will not disappoint.

    Rev. Jill Dillner's reply:

    Thank you so much Rebecca! My only regret is not having my witch costume! I enjoyed meeting all of you, too. Congratulations again!

    Jill is amazing!

    We reached out to Reverend Jill with only a few weeks to spare before our wedding date in late October. She was tremendously kind and accommodating to book us with so little advance notice. She was quick to put us at ease and has fun and warm to talk with as we planned our ceremony. Jill developed a ceremony for us that felt personal as well as dignified, and made sure that it reflected the intentions and beliefs we hold going into our marriage. I had so many guests and family members tell me it was one of the most beautiful and meaningful wedding ceremonies they'd ever attended. We will certainly never forget it. Thank you, Rev Jill!!

    Rev. Jill Dillner's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words! I love working under pressure:) I am so happy everyone loved the ceremony. It was beautiful. The amazing music added by your mom and her talented friends made it even better. Congratulations again!

    Beautiful ceremony

    Jill was nothing short of amazing!
    We had a destination wedding and were lucky to find reverend Jill.
    The ceremony she wrote was so beautiful and all my guests loved it also. She touched on everything we asked.
    She has such good energy and great to be around.

    Rev. Jill Dillner's reply:

    That view! I'm so glad you found the Stone View. It was great working with you folks, too. Congratulations again 🎉

    Amazing Experience!

    Reverend Jill is amazing! She took the time to get to know my partner and I and then used what she learned to create a beautiful and personalized ceremony (with just the right amount of humor)! Rev. Jill is so sweet and we were immediately comfortable with her. 100/10 would recommend her to officiate your wedding!

    Rev. Jill Dillner's reply:

    Everything about that day was gorgeous! Especially the couple! It was a pleasure working with the two of you. Thank you for choosing me to share your day ❤️

    Lovely Ceremony

    Rev, Jill was absolutely perfect. She met with us, learned about us, and crafted a lovely ceremony. We wanted a non-religious ceremony, and it was perfect. So many guests have complimented the ceremony and how lovely it was. Truly a perfect officiant.

    Rev. Jill Dillner's reply:

    Congratulations again! It was a beautiful wedding. Thank you for your kind words and for choosing me to share your day!

    Beautiful ceremony

    Rev. Jill met with us before the ceremony to get to know us as a couple and then wrote a unique and personalized script for us. We had so many people tell us afterwards that our ceremony was one of the most beautiful they’d seen. We didn’t want any mention of religion in our ceremony, and she was very accommodating to make a script that felt perfect for us as a couple.

    Rev. Jill Dillner's reply:

    Thank you! I'm happy to hear everyone loved the ceremony! I am so happy for both of you. It was a beautiful ceremony. Congratulations again!! I love that photo 🥰.

    A wonderful and perfectly custom tailored ceremony

    Reverend Jill was a gem to work with. Our ceremony felt so incredibly personal and customer to our story it nearly moved me to tears and we heard nothing but compliments all night from our guests on her ceremony! I appreciated the time she took to meet with Tadd and I on a video cal to see us face to face since we were an out of state couple. She also came and saw me before the ceremony to make sure everything was still going to plan but overall just to check on me and how things were going that morning. She was so incredibly friendly and her ceremony was eloquent and beautiful. It made an already memorable day even that much more special to us ❤️

    Rev. Jill Dillner's reply:

    Thank you Ella! It was an absolute pleasure working with the two of you. You had the most gorgeous day!! I am so happy for both of you. Congratulations again !

    Highly suggest!!

    Rev. Jill was so amazing through the whole process! She saved me and my husband when we needed someone last minute. She walked us through the process and made us feel comfortable. She was so understanding that we didn’t want any religion brought up and came back with the most personal ceremony I could have asked for. My whole family still hasn’t stopped talking about how beautiful it was and how perfectly it reflected our relationship. We will forever be grateful for her and cherish the day she made possible!!

    Rev. Jill Dillner's reply:

    I am so glad you found me! Everything was perfect ❤️ Congratulations again! And tell your Dad to renew their vows lol.

    Everything we could ask for..

    Rev. Jill was absolutely amazing. From when I found her by tirelessly looking for a reverend that suited my needs and seem actually dedicated to her career. Since we’re from Chicago, we didn’t know really what to do so found her online, she was soooo quick to respond! Eventually we chatted via FaceTime to get to know one another, her humor was amazing and ability to impress was outstanding. She didn’t judge, she didn’t offer her opinion unless asked and was open to adding as many or as little religion pieces in. Then we the wedding came she came earlier than the ceremony, came to check on me, meet everyone, ask if she can grab me anything, and just wanted to help! People were saying she was helping set the table! I mean come on! She truly went above and beyond! The ceremony went sooooo well, she cracked a joke when appropriate and actually made everyone laugh and cry. Rev. Jill was truly incredible. If you’re looking for someone who will add none to a lot of religion into their ceremony, add a spice of humor, get along with everyone, and be very detailed and helpful when planning. Go with Rev. Jill, I promise you will NOT regret it.

    Rev. Jill Dillner's reply:

    Aww! Now I'm tearing up. Thank you for finding me and choosing me! It was my pleasure to share your day and spend time with your family.

    Rev Jill Is The Best

    Rev Jill, what can I say about her besides she is hands down the best human being and officiant I’ve ever met! So down to earth, fun, loving and just made everything so much easier and less stressful. I could not imagine my wedding day without her!! Recommend 10/10 ❤️

    Rev Jill is the best decision you will make!

    Rev Jill is absolutely amazing! She officiated our small, intimate elopement at an Airbnb in the smoky mountains. From the time we first contacted her, she was quick to respond via text or email. We had a couple skype calls with her and then she authored an amazing ceremony script for us to review. The whole thing was very smooth and one of the easiest parts of wedding planning!

    Jill was very accommodating and was willing to travel to our Airbnb in Tallassee. After the ceremony, each one of our guests commented how it was the best ceremony they had been to! They felt like she had known us for many months because the ceremony was so perfect for us. Jill is so well spoken and did a great job incorporating our wishes into the ceremony. We wanted a friend to do a reading and Jill's ceremony incorporated it beautifully. BOOK JILL NOW! You will not regret it :)

    Rev. Jill Dillner's reply:

    You just made my heart warm ❤️ I am so glad you chose me to share your day. I loved working with the two of you. Good luck with all the puppies! Congratulations again!

    Best decision ever!

    Jill was absolutely amazing. My husband and I keep talking about how beautiful our ceremony was. It’s all we can talk about. She blew us away. I had a vision of what it would feel like, but it was more special than I could’ve ever imagined. Jill was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She was everything we wanted and more. Not only does the ceremony draft make you tear up, but wait until you hear her say it at the altar on the big day. She will take your breath away and leave all your guests crying happy tears. All of our guests were asking who she was and complimenting her speaking style and our ceremony immediately following the ceremony. People are still reaching out to us wanting to share their story of how our ceremony made them feel. That speaks volumes in my book. She is amazing at what she does. She is also professional, funny, and very prompt with her responses. Do not hesitate to hire her. She will be the best decision you make. We love Jill!

    11/10 Recommend!

    Rev Jill is absolutely AMAZING! Our guests have been raving over our ceremony for days, many saying it was the best they’ve ever witnessed. It was the perfect mix of tradition and personality; exactly what we were looking for. We only met once before the big day, but she knew the perfect questions to ask about our relationship. She turned our casual conversation into an eloquent love story. Rev Jill was also incredibly helpful logistically - responding to questions quickly and helping us every step of the way. She even managed to make me feel relaxed right before the ceremony (who even knew that was possible?). We would recommend her for whatever you’re looking for - she can do it all!

    Rev. Jill Dillner's reply:

    I enjoyed working with both of you and meeting your family! I'm so happy everyone loved the ceremony and I made you feel calm. Congratulations again and thank you for choosing me to share your day. ❤️

    Absolutely amazing!

    I truly do not know where to begin when it comes to Rev. Jill ! From the moment my husband and I first spoke to her regarding officiating our wedding, we knew that she was the one. She is one of the kindest and sweetest people we have ever met and it was a pleasure having her be apart of such a special day for us. She made the process so fun and easy and took the time to get to know both my husband and I individually and as a couple in order to create the most beautiful and customized ceremony possible!! Thank you so much Rev. Jill for making our wedding day the most perfect day of our lives, we love you !! XO

    Rev. Jill Dillner's reply:

    I loved working with both of you! I hope the next chapter of your love story is as amazing as the first chapters! XO

    It was like we knew her all of our lives!

    Reverend Jill made our day better than we could have imagined. When our guests told us our favorite part of the wedding, 9 times out of 10, they said Reverend Jill!! She had a way of bringing levity to an emotional ceremony, and keeping everyone engaged. Her delivery was spot on and connected. Couldn’t be happier.

    Someone recommended Rev. Jill Dillner to us and we can’t thank them enough! From the moment we had our first call with Jill we knew she was the one! She has a great friendly, and playful personality, and a good sense of humor is always a must-have for me! We wanted a non-religious ceremony and she wrote us such a beautiful script that we were thrilled with. We received so many compliments on our ceremony and on Jill’s demeanor in particular. She was a hit!

    Best Officiant You Could Have!

    I found Rev. Jill on Wedding Wire and I couldn't be happier with my choice! When I first spoke with her she was so pleasant and had such a nice sense of humor which my fiance and I loved. She took the time to get to know us and asked of plenty of questions about how we met and how we felt about one another. We even had to postpone our wedding date due to COVID-19 but thank goodness she was still available for our new date. On our wedding day, our ceremony was absolutely perfect. The blessings that she performed and the wonderful things she said about our relationship was so fitting for us and we are so happy that she was a part of our big day. If you are looking for an officiant look no further since Rev. Jill is the best you could get. She is patient, kind, and such a pleasure to be around. Our guests loved the ceremony she performed and are still talking about how great she was. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her again in the future for anything we may need!

    Rev. Jill Dillner's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words Sabrina! It was the perfect ceremony! I'm so happy you did not have to postpone a second time. I loved meeting your family ❤️

    best decision you'll make !

    Rev Jill Dillner did an amazing job officiating our wedding day. Her ceremony was heartfelt and truly captured our love. Everybody was commenting how lovely the ceremony was and people couldn’t believe Jill wasn’t a close family friend. Not only did Jill do a great job with our ceremony she was so helpful leading up to the big day. She was so easy to talk to and made us feel like we were all good friends. She was so helpful with guiding us in getting all the necessary paperwork done to make our marriage legal. Rev Jill Dillner is the best and will be the best decision to you make for your wedding!

    Rev. Jill Dillner's reply:

    Hi Megan! It was my pleasure to work with you both! Thank you for your kind words:) Congratulations again!

    I absolutely loved rev jill! She was so easy to work with and she made the ceremony exactly how we wanted it to be and it was so special. I was really nervous to read my vows in front of so many people but she made me feel totally comfortable and at ease. On the day of my wedding I added to my vows and she even wrote them out for me since I didn’t have time to write them myself, didn’t have access to a printer, and didn’t want to read them from my phone. I’m so happy with my decision to hire rev jill and I 100% recommend her to everyone!

    Our perfect ceremony

    We met Rev. Jill for the first time a couple months before our wedding and were immediately put as ease. Rev. Jill is so warm and understanding - we felt an instant connection. She asked how we envisioned our ceremony and she understood immediately and offered suggestions that we loved. She also asked the right questions about our relationship and why my wife and I love each other. Our guests raved about Rev. Jill's ceremony - how personal and special it was. Her guidance was the key to our small chapel ceremony and wedding as a whole. You will be in good hands with Rev. Jill - we promise you'll want to hire her after the first phone call.

    Rev. Jill Dillner's reply:

    Jill was fabulous!

    Jill made everyone feel comfortable and spent a little time getting to know the couple beforehand. I know she had other ceremonies scheduled, but never seemed to be in a rush. She was funny and very personable. I would certainly recommend her services to others looking for elopements!

    Rev. Jill Dillner's reply:

    Thank you so much Laura! I am so glad we were able to get your son and daughter in-law on the schedule. It was truly my honor to be able to share their day.
