“Jennifer’s presence generates a sense of ease and joy in those around her. Her greatest delight is helping people cultivate deeper connections – whether that connection be with oneself, with others, or with the divine. She is continually leaning into the question, “How can we love each other better?”
Toward that end, Jennifer facilitates relational and communication skills workshops to groups, both in the general public, as well as to inmates and staff in prison. She also loves working with couples to create a container for their relationship that supports them in navigating their differences and growing their love. Wedding officiating is a natural offspring of Jennifer’s passion for assisting couples by helping them consecrate their devotion to one another.
“Our officiant, Jennifer, was absolutely amazing and kind, and listened to all of the things that were important to us. Our guests are still talking about how special our ceremony was – and how it was one of the most unique ones they had ever been a part of!” ~Anna C.
Jennifer has lived and traveled extensively throughout the world and has just recently made a new home with her life partner in the luscious mountains of the Asheville area. Earlier in her career, she worked as a Wall Street analyst and a U.S. diplomat serving in Mexico, Washington D.C. and Vietnam. She is a fluent Spanish speaker, and also knows some Portuguese, Italian, and Vietnamese!
Jennifer’s spiritual path has also been a winding one. From being raised as a fundamentalist Christian, to studying many Eastern traditions and spending thousands of hours of silent meditation. Then back to finding a deep resonance with the Christian tradition, but from a more mystical perspective. She believes that the truth is one but the paths are many, and she has deep respect for each person’s chosen path.
“Jennifer Ludders exceeded all expectations! She spoke clearly, with a great deal of love and respect, and always had a smiling face. Our guests continue to rave about how beautiful the ceremony was! They also say it was the best ceremony they’ve ever been to. I cannot recommend this company, and specifically Jennifer, enough!” ~Emilee D.
As an officiant for Love & Wisdom Inc. Jennifer feels deeply honored to be able to draw out the most unique and meaningful aspects of a couple’s relationship, weaving it into a heartfelt custom ceremony. She is excited to serve as a catalyst for the joyous and sacred initiation of your new life together!
