Hi! I’m Jennifer, an ordained nondenominational minister. I chose this path because I believe in God, and I believe in unconditional love and acceptance. There are many paths to God, and respect for free will and individual differences is of great importance to me. In 2000, I was a practicing Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the field of family counseling. I was searching for something more and after my own wedding in June of that year, I decided that it was my dream to share in the uniting of others at the beginning of their journey of marriage and/or spiritual commitment.

Love, friendship, shared dreams, children, work, play, compassion, strength, hope, and faith are all a part of this LIFE TOGETHER. The wedding ceremony is at the heart of the celebration of these sentiments. After having two children and helping to build my family’s pest control business, Holistic Pest Solutions, I performed my first wedding in February of 2006. I have been enjoying my work tremendously ever since. I also combine my background as a family therapist with my Ministry by providing services to those who seek practical and spiritual guidance.

I am very passionate about what I do and, from my experience, my clients seem to appreciate that.  I hope you’ll give me a call to learn more about me and how I can make YOUR DAY even more special.

Jennifer is simply the best!

My now-wife and I weren’t looking for a religious ceremony, but that didn’t mean we wanted to have a wedding devoid of spirituality and positive energy. Jennifer got that from the very start, and she helped us craft a ceremony script that worked perfectly for us. She was responsive, flexible and, most importantly, invested in the success of our event. Simply put, if you’re looking for an officiant for your event, make sure Faith in Marriage is on your shortlist. You won’t be disappointed. Thanks for everything, Jennifer!

Jennifer Ashcraft Was Just Right for our Wedding

Our wedding ceremony was was beautiful and simple, perfect for our rural outdoor event. Jennifer gave us a choice of styles, from informal to religious and allowed us to work on the script. It was perfect. She was punctual and helpful in every way, and we highly recommend Jennifer’s services. Helle Dale and Charles King

Absolutely wonderful!

I can’t possibly do justice in writing to how amazing Jennifer was to work with! We never met in person until the wedding day, but after exactly one lengthy phone call that turned into two Shenandoah Valley gals chatting and laughing about life and love, I knew Jennifer was the perfect person to marry us. She was attentive, sensitive and understanding to every one of our wishes and needs, and could not have made this process any easier if she tried. Regardless of your personal beliefs and/or religion (or lack thereof), Jennifer will cater every word to you and your partner and you can rest easy knowing she’ll be delivering exactly what you want on the big day. Plus, she takes care of all the rest after the fact, too. I just can’t recommend her enough. She was the best!

A ceremony to remember

Jennifer was absolutely amazing. Her calm presence and loving soul was a perfect match to officiate our wedding. She was professional and provided multiple options to ensure that the ceremony matched our needs. Jennifer’s verbiage was perfectly in line with what we were looking for and the ceremony was conducted smoothly. You can tell that she is passionate about her job and loves what she does. I would highly recommend Jennifer!

Incredible is an understatement

She met with us the night before for our rehearsal and was very sweet, comforting, and energetic! Jennifer Ashcraft is THE BEST! She made the both of us feel so at ease during the rehearsal and actual ceremony. She’s so comfortable speaking and it truly felt like she created the ceremony to fit us perfectly as a couple. Even in 50 mile per hour wind gusts, she did not waiver and was still smiling and was perfect in every way. I would love to recommend her to any and everyone!!
