About Me

---

Congratulations on your decision to get married! My husband John (who is also a JP and serves as my assistant and back-up) toast you on this exciting moment in your life! 

Your wedding day is your special day. I enjoy using my 17 years of experience as a JP to inspire you and to provide you with wedding advice and suggestions--whether it is a large formal wedding or a “couple only” wedding. Together, we will work to make your day all you want it to be. 

I have worked with couples as far away as New Zealand (Facetime!) or as close as just up the street. We can arrange to meet virtually or by phone. I will provide you with all the information you need, ranging from legal requirements to elements of your ceremony, including vows, optional readings, or “add-in” ceremonies, such as the Unity Candle, Rose, or Sand Ceremony.

When we have a pre-wedding meeting, we’ll get to know each other. I genuinely enjoy my role as a wedding officiant. I love learning about who you are as a couple (and incorporating a bit of your love story into the wedding ceremony) and then seeing all the components of your wedding come together. It gives me great satisfaction to share this wonderful, special day with you!

If you wish, I’ll encourage you to write your own vows. It isn’t as difficult as it might seem. It will just be like reading a love letter to your partner. Writing your vows is as easy as answering one question: “Why do you love this person?” There’s your vow!

Your ceremony is the one moment in your Wedding Day when it is just the two of you facing each other and pledging to love each other now and forevermore. It is during this moment that you join your lives together as one.

Whatever type of ceremony you are planning, whether a simple event or a large fairytale wedding, I can provide you with whatever guidance you need.

During ceremonies I wear a black, judicial robe with a white stole. This distinguishes me as the officiant and doesn’t distract from the couple. I want all eyes to be on you!

I provide music (if you need it) a memorable keepsake wedding certificate and a copy of your ceremony on beautiful bond paper to memorialize the day. My role is to ensure your ceremony exceeds your expectations and that all the legal components are fulfilled. This includes execution and delivery of your marriage license to the appropriate town clerk for recording.
