WGBH and Boston A-List 2012, 2011, and 2010 First Place Winner
MASSACHUSETTS BEST WEDDING OFFICIANT

As your Massachusetts Justice of the Peace, I want your ceremony to be a memorable event for you, as well as for your family and friends. I am happy to sit with you to help you plan for your special day, answer any questions that you may have, and to help you personalize a unique wedding ceremony that fits your style and wishes. This day is about YOU! Not your wedding officiant. I am here to help you design wedding vows for your special day that you will always remember for the rest of your life. Just because I know, as an officiant, how to write wedding vows ~ your day is not about me ~ it is about you! I can provide you with many wedding vow samples, but the end result is that you must be happy with what we create together ~ to reflect your dream of a perfect wedding day. I am very open to ideas, and I am a fun person to work with, but at the same time, I am a professional.
I have been fortunate to have married over 750 couples to date, from every religion under the sun, and at some of the most unique places all over Massachusetts ~ Fenway Park, U.S.S. Constitution, Boston Public Garden, Top of the Hub, Liberty Hotel, Museum of Science, Boston Public Library, New England Aquarium, Les Zygomates Restaurant, Peabody Essex Museum, Locke-Ober Restaurant, Andover Country Club, Danversport Yacht Club, and many, many more.
I love what I do ~ marrying people! There is no better feeling than knowing that I have contributed to the happiness of others!
