My wife and I were married
at Mill City Museum this past August 2009 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!

"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 image 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 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
Wedding Officiants website. 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!"

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 wedding officiant!"
Jennifer and Leon of Mankato, MN
"We had a fabulous experience with Jim as our 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."
"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
"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."

best decisions that we made in planning our wedding.
She is a natural public speaker who can convey joy, sanctity,

perfect moment in our lives. Our guests witnessed our
commitment and shared our emotions with laughter, tears,
and surprises.
The process that she guided us through helped us create
a ceremony that reflected our partnership, our surroundings,
and our intimate group of guests. We were very lucky
to have found Kathy to help us
craft the most important part of our special day. For
all of Kathy's special gifts, we are truly grateful."

helped us create our ceremony. She helped weave our children
into the ceremony and to this day our guests are still talking
about how wonderful our wedding was because it was so heartfelt

the ceremony process. We took their e-book and pieced together
different parts that we liked to create a ceremony just for
us. She helped create a flow that worked well for us. Her experience
with other weddings was just what we needed when planning ours.
Even though the weather didn't cooperate, the ceremony wen't
just fine."
