The Reverend JC Jenkins
welcomes you to
Joyous Journey Celebrations.
Professional Wedding Officiant, Reiki Master Healer and Cherokee/Blackfoot Medicine Mother proudly serving Fulton County, the Capital District and surrounding areas, in the beautiful state of New York.
Our journey is to share all the secrets of unconditional love, peace, and harmony, by sharing truthfully from our hearts.
Are you ready to celebrate life and love together? We are a simple non-denominational Celebration and Healing Center whose only doctrine is to “Let all that you do be done in Love.” As wedding officiants and healers, we seek to better incorporate kindness and love into our everyday lives.
If you’re looking for a ceremony blending the old and the new, the traditional and the modern, but especially encompassing the very real and personal journey that has brought you to your celebration, then you’ve entered the right place. Welcome.
Uniquely you is what we do.
After the initial hello, we arrange a meeting in-person or by phone to discuss your vision for your ceremony. We can even take care of writing the event for your review. It’s easy to get started – just send us an email.
"Joannie married Cathy and I and it was the best decision we ever made to work with her! She helped us be worry-free, confident and as stress-free as possible. Joannie has an amazing personality and soul, and has so much love to give. There's nothing better than to start out your marriage than by working with her and having her stand by your side!"
"We wanted a very simple ceremony and we needed an officiant at the last minute. Joannie was both flexible and happy to help out! The ceremony was just wonderful - Joannie had written some vows for us that were perfect. Even though we hired her last minute, she still was well prepared for our day. She was thoughtful and caring through the whole ceremony. I can not stress enough how happy we are to have found her! I can't believe that we found someone so great who was willing to do a ceremony on such short notice. Add to that the fact that she had great vows and a very nice unofficial certificate prepared for us (what a great touch!), and we had the best officiant we could have asked for!! Thanks Joannie!"
"When Janine and I finally decided to get married after 25 years together, we started looking for someone to marry us. There were a number of choices to choose from. We chose Joannie and we made the right choice. She made our wedding perfect. We wanted short and sweet, and she made it great. We really can't say how happy we were to have met such a kind person [and] to have her officiate our wedding. THANK YOU JOANNIE!"
"We had a wedding that had to be planned in basically a time frame of a month, and Joannie was very understanding, patient, calming, and helpful! She helped my new husband and I along with our new wedding on what we should do, she did very well in customizing the ceremony into both a length, and flow that we were comfortable with. She assisted in providing and helping us with our vows and keeping us relaxed during our times of stress. Also very good at communication to her best, she was always checking in on us during closing date and to see how we were doing. A loving and helpful woman, and not to mention such healing cats she owns! Couldn't say thank you to her enough for all her help!"
"Ms. Joannie was great. She was everything that I needed for my small wedding! She kept in contact with us throughout the process. She respected our ideas about the wedding. She was flexible about the date. We love her and are glad we chose her."
