Bri started with us as a bride who fell in love with everything wedding. She hired Jenn to officiate her ceremony and they immediately hit it off. After planning her own magical day, she decided she wanted to join the wedding world and relive it over and over again! Bri began officiating in 2018 and loved every minute of it. She loves having a front row seat to the power of love!

In 2020, Bri, her husband, Tony, and their furbaby, Paisley moved to Naples, FL. However, after a year in the sun, they decided to move back to snowy Rochester to be closer to family. We are so excited to welcome her back to J. Costello Wedding Officiants!
