About Rev. Jayne

I’m Rev. Jayne – Wedding Officiant & Certified Funeral Celebrant

I create personal, heartfelt ceremonies that celebrate love and honor life. Serving Winston-Salem, the Triad, and beyond, I bring warmth, professionalism, and a calm, reassuring presence to every occasion.

With more than eight years of experience as a wedding officiant, I believe your ceremony should reflect your story, your personalities, and the promises you’re making. From intimate elopements to grand celebrations, I blend elegance, humor, and heart to create a ceremony that feels authentically yours.

As a Certified Funeral Celebrant, I help families honor someone they love through meaningful funerals, memorials, and celebrations of life. I listen carefully to your memories and weave together the stories, music, readings, and personal touches that capture a life and its lasting impact.

Whether you’re beginning a new chapter or saying a tender goodbye, I offer thoughtful guidance and attention to every detail. It would be my honor to help you find the words and create a ceremony you’ll carry with you.

Perfecting your special day

I will arrive at your wedding early to coordinate with your attendants and vendors and help everyone prepare for the processional. I’m always happy to collaborate with other wedding professionals, and I welcome photographers capturing your ceremony from wherever they can get the best pictures. I will deliver the ceremony we have carefully planned together, creating a wonderful experience for you and your guests.

I bring a “whatever it takes” attitude to every wedding. From last-minute changes to unexpected challenges, I handle each situation with calm, grace, and heart. My couples often tell me I became more than their officiant—I became part of their story.

Jayne was absolutely amazing. She took the time to truly get to know us as a couple, which made all the difference in our ceremony. Every detail felt thoughtful and personal, and it was clear she genuinely cared about telling our story in a meaningful way. Her warmth and attention to detail created such a special experience, not just for us, but for everyone who attended. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect person to guide us through such an important moment.

Jayne’s story

I grew up in Cottingley, West Yorkshire, and my adventurous spirit took me far from home. After I finished school, I moved to Athens, later worked across Africa, the Middle East and the Caribbean Islands and spent some time working aboard a sailboat in the Bahamas.

My life has included some unexpected chapters—from professional bodybuilding to teaching young children and running my own pet grooming business. Each experience has shaped my love of people, their stories, and the many different paths we take.

Today, I call the Winston-Salem area home. When I’m not creating ceremonies, I enjoy traveling, beekeeping, rescuing wildlife, and spending time with my much-loved dogs and cats. I bring that same curiosity, compassion, and sense of adventure to getting to know every couple I work with.
