Frequently Asked Questions

How would you define your "style"?

The decision to marry is one of the most important decisions an individual and a couple can make. My style is Celebratory, United, Joyful, Uplifting, Lighthearted, Inclusive and Modern, yet Grounded, Rooted in Tradition. My style is about Love and creating a joyful experience.

What does the process of working with your company look like?

A complimentary consult, hopefully by video, or in person if you like (my favorite) Booking through an Agreement and 50% Retainer. Questionnaire(s) sent. (Depending upon chosen package) Communication along the way, particularly regarding license and vows. Note – Celebrant Package includes as many edits and revisions as you desire. Communication to vendors. Final check -in to ensure details are exactly as you expect. Arrival on wedding day, typically one-hour prior to ceremony start. Communication! Your ceremony is most important. What do you want or don’t want? Not sure? Let’s talk. I can help.

What is included in your most popular packages?

A unique, loving, and inclusive ceremony based on partnership, respect, equality, and that focuses on your love. We tailor according to your preferences of traditional, modern, secular, spiritual, or a combination! This ceremony has one questionnaire that you fill out together. *Premium time frame. I arrive one hour before ceremony to ensure everything is ready, and will not add any fees if your ceremony starts late. *Coordination with your vendors to ensure a calm and creative space to perform your ceremony. *Battery powered high end wireless hand held microphone, if needed. *Preparation of any readings and / or your personal vows on notecards to be read at the ceremony, so you will not have to remember to bring them! *Notarization of your marriage license and hand delivery to the post office to be sent certified mail. Please note that certified mailing is not a requirement in Florida, but something I do since I’m very particular about the handling of a marriage license. *Unlimited consultations. I welcome all our communication. Your ceremony is most important. *Pets, kids, and themes always welcomed!

What is a unique tip you tell your couples that is specific to your vendor category?

If you’d like to write your personal vows, go inside your heart, not Google. What you’ll find online may be beautiful, but it’s not you.

What current trends have you seen at weddings?

Many couples are choosing to mix fun and tradition. For example, a super-fun unity ritual mixed with traditional vows.

What advice would you give a couple who is starting the search for the perfect venue?

The weather is something that no-one has any control over. If planning an outdoor wedding, consider having a suitable back-up space. Many venues have beautiful indoor options.

How long will my ceremony be?

For the Sunbeam or Celebrant package, the typical time frame is 20-30 minutes, depending upon size of wedding party, readings, rituals, or guest participation.

Can you explain how we get our license?

Yes! And as many reminders as you need! I will also explain exactly what needs to happen during your ceremony as well as after your ceremony regarding the filing of your license with the courthouse, and what you can expect getting your marriage certificate. Your license is, by far, THE most important document of the day, and as we approach your big day, I will likely bug you about getting it, lol.

Jennie Landau

A Little About Us

What makes you or your business stand out and why should a couple hire you?

Couples and guests say that Jennie has a beautiful speaking voince and a calming, joyous presence. Jennie strives to ensure that your ceremony photos are as uncluttered as they can be, so it’s just you and your loved ones in the pictures. No mic stand to hold her microphone, No music stand to hold her book. And when it’s time for that kiss, she’s outta the way! A believer in formal education, Jennie holds double certification from The Celebrant Foundation and Institute as a Life Cycle Celebrant and Wedding Officiant.

What's a fun or unusual fact about you or your company?

Yes! FreeBird comes from the song. It was my anthem growing up on Long Island, NY. I also play electric violin and have four yoga teacher certifications.

How did you get started as a wedding pro?

A background in theatrical production enables me to see the whole picture of an event, and to understand how your ceremony is orchestrated with the people and pieces that must come together to create a natural and seamless experience. FreeBird Ceremonies flew in 2016 when I combined the best parts of my theatre work, and connected them to my passion for cherishing life events with personalized ceremonies.

Share a piece of advice to reduce stress in the wedding planning process.

Spend money on a coordinator. They will enable you to enjoy your wedding day!

What's your favorite wedding tradition and why?

I love handfastings! Handfasting is a beautiful way to enhance your wedding vows and also create a memento of your ceremony. Ribbons, cords, tartans, scarves – the possibilities of material are endless, and the symbolism of the chosen colors will make the ritual uniquely yours. My favorite type of handfasting has the couple creating the knot, rather than the officiant. And then the newlyweds have a one-of-a-kind memento of the ceremony that will last a lifetime.

Tell us more about the couples you usually get the pleasure of working with.

Every couple is welcome! I have created and performed ceremonies for couples ranging from 19-79 years old, in all walks of life and love, all pronouns, at every stage of their life journey.

What are some of the best compliments you've received from your clients?

“The most thoughtful and beautiful ceremony we could have ever imagined. Wonderful process.”- MELISSA K. “At the end of any wedding ceremony, you know that a couple got married, but at the end of a ceremony planned with the support of FreeBird Ceremonies, everyone present will understand WHY the couple got married, and will have a fuller picture of the deeper meaning and experiences underlying the union.” – MARK Z. “The most incredible, uplifting energy and straight up LOVE.” – KATE D. Jennie incorporated all our “wants” and when we had an unexpected visitor accidentally interrupt our ceremony, she handled it with a bit of humor and a lot of grace. – ROB T.

Jennie was our officiant and was an absolute pleasure to work with! She went above and beyond to make sure everything was exactly how we wanted and was very thorough with all the details. She hosted multiple video calls to keep us updated and to go over everything. The result of which was a beautiful, one-of-a-kind ceremony! I would HIGHLY recommend her in whatever celebration you have! Definitely the best I have ever experienced!

BEST OFFICIANT EVER! I was really overwhelmed trying to pick an officiant, but happened to find Jennie\’s page. I can\’t say enough good words about how amazing she is. She will help you throughout the process to help you through each step and she helps customize your ceremony so it is unique to you! She spoke beautifully at our wedding not just the words she thoughtfully chooses but the cadence and tone is perfect. Honestly, one of the best decisions we made throughout our wedding day was selecting Jennie to be our officiant!

The most amazing fit and vibe for what my husband and I were looking for. I could not have asked for a better officiant for our handfasting wedding ceremony. She made us feel at ease the whole way thru, spoke so gently with words so beautifully put, poetry gorgeousness. Highly recommend.

As a Wedding Planner, it was great getting to work with a professional Officiant! Jennie was so kind and calming which is just what a couple needs for their ceremony. The ceremony was so beautiful due to her professionalism and personalization of their program. She also took care of the marriage license and made sure it was all taken care of so the couple did not have to worry about it one bit. If you are looking to hire an officiant Jennie is a great choice!

Jennie @ FreeBird Ceremonies made our magical day so special. The demeanor that she carried during the ceremony was warm, loving and welcoming. Throughout the planning process, she was nothing but attentive to us and the mission that we set out for our ceremony.

The ceremony is a big moment and nerve racking, and having Jennie standing beside us for it was the best support that we needed. Thank you again for everything Jennie!

We were so fortunate to have Jennie officiate our wedding! From our initial meeting over facetime we knew we had found the perfect officiant. Jennie was very thorough and informative in her calls with us leading up to the ceremony. She took a lot of care to make our ceremony special to us. Our wedding was a bit unconventional and Jennie was very accommodating and considerate. She wrote an amazing ceremony for us that was beautiful and sentimental. She even printed out our vows on special paper so that we had one less thing to worry about on our big day. We couldn\’t have asked for a more perfect ceremony and we highly recommend Jennie if you\’re getting hitched!
