Carol Merletti was amazing at our wedding! During the planning process she was very flexible and valued our views and ideas, while also providing us with advice and information when we needed it. The day of the wedding Carol continued to be supportive and comforting by handling all of the necessary details with care. She worked well with the other vendors and coordinators on the day of the wedding. Carol was an integral piece to the beautiful ceremony we had and we are so thankful that we were able to work with her on our special day.

Mrs. Merletti was everything we could have asked for in an officiant. She worked with us to provide an excellent ceremony. We travelled to MA from Texas and she worked well with us to ensure that we had a special day. Although we did not officially meet until the day of the ceremony her correspondence with us before the wedding was enough to make us feel at ease with her. She is a true professional and anyone choosing her to perform a ceremony will not be disappointed. She's a perfect 10.

Carol is, by far, one of the nicest & most professional people I have gotten to know. After 5 minutes on the phone, you will know she is the right person to officiate your event. She came up with a great ceremony for us, worked with us to ensure it was exactly what we wanted & performed our service in a way we will always remember. If you want a memorable service, Carol is the person you should use.

Carol was a pleasure to work with! She was extremely responsive via email, which was perfect, since I live abroad. Leading up to the wedding, she was also readily available on the phone once I was in the U.S. At the wedding, Carol provided professional services, reflecting extensive experience, and a strong, clear voice to conduct the ceremony.

We loved, loved, loved working with carol! She is amazing! I found her doing online searches for a JOP and I could not have picked a better one! She was very quick with her responses, easy to work with, a great person with a great personality. She worded our vows and was able to change her wine, box and love letter ceremony to accommodate us as we don't like wine. She was perfect, I highly recommend her!

We were kind of freaking out about an officiant because we had no idea how to pick one. After we spoke to Carol we knew we had found the perfect person for our ceremony. She was always very informative and prepared us for the day. She laid everything out for us which made the big day less intimidating. It meant a lot to us that she wanted pictures of us after the ceremony; it showed us just how much she loves what she does.

Rick and I thoroughly enjoyed working with Carol and the time we spent getting to know each other so she could personalize our ceremony.

Carol made the process effortless and stress free for us on our wedding day. Since day one with speaking with Carol, she was very informative about the whole process in terms of getting a marriage license, what to review, what to do on the wedding day, etc. We made sure to follow her suggestions so that the wedding day would be efficient and that we would legally be married (marriage license needs to be present when she marries you!!). We would recommend Carol wholeheartedly as she was kind, informative, funny, and having her there on our wedding, you knew that she would support you in any way she could. Also, seeing her smile makes you feel at ease as well. She is very sweet!

When my Partner and I started planning our wedding, we had selected another Officiant to work with, but a few months before our wedding, there was a change of plans and she was no longer able to perform the ceremony for us. So, with only a few months before our wedding date, we began our search. Rather quickly, we came across Carol’s website and were instantly impressed with the wealth of information she had on her site, not to mention how many ceremonies she had conducted. What really attracted us to her was that she performed both straight and gay and lesbian services. Being a Gay Couple, it was important to us that we worked with someone that had experience with a gay ceremony. We called Carol and instantly connected with her. We arranged a time to meet and the planning began. She was absolutely so easy to work with, making the day all about us, while still offering many suggestions. We conversed over the phone and email, she was very responsive. The week before, we connected, finalized the ceremony and were ready to marry. She made it so easy, she focused on us. The day of the ceremony she checked in with us prior to the ceremony and put us at ease. Her style and presence during the ceremony were wonderful. Her voice is so confident and you can just hear the passion for what she does in her tone. The ceremony was beautiful, and people still comment on how nicely it was put together, Carol is owed much of that credit. Thanks for helping us create a ceremony that was personal to us. I will gladly pass your name on to anyone in need of an officiant.

Carol was great to work with! Despite the fact that all of our interaction up until my wedding day had been over the phone or by email (I live out of state), I felt like I had known her forever and it was so nice to feel like she was genuinely interested in getting to know me and my fiancé. During our wedding ceremony there was a small slip-up as the best man forgot one of the rings, but Carol continued like a true professional and didn't let the little bump in the road throw her off. Overall she was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Carol is very friendly, sincere, and helpful. She was flexible in accommodating our change in location when it rained. She arrived early, well/officially dressed, prepared with tissues and tape (which we used), and remembered the names of everyone involved in our small wedding ceremony. Carol provided us with a lot of helpful information in the weeks prior to our ceremony. She has a no-pressure manner of communicating her additional services, and emits a lot of positive energy. We feel fortunate to have had Carol officiate our marriage.

It was a pleasure to work with Carol. We had a short turnaround when we called her to book our date and she made her schedule work with ours. She offered great ideas, templates and guidelines, but ultimately we built our ceremony the way we wanted it and she was supportive of it all. I highly recommend her friendly manner on your big day. Thanks so much Carol!

Carol was very helpful and easy to work with. My husband and I weren't sure what we wanted for our ceremony. Carol provided us with a lot of options and information which made our decision much easier. Also, with the different options, we were still able to customize and change details so that our ceremony would be unique. Carol was always ver professional and quick to respond to our questions. She arrived on time and our ceremony went as planned with no issues :)

Carol was AMAZING and without her knowledge and insight we would not have gotten married! She suggested that we "expedite" our marriage license and pay the additional fee and spend the extra time to make this happen. This intuitiveness and extra care saved us THOUSANDS of dollars because the day our marriage license would have been ready to pick-up from Boston City Hall-would have never happened! This was the day the City of Boston was on LOCK-DOWN! Nothing was open and we would NOT have been able to get our license to be married the next day-Saturday! Carol is "special" and really took the time to understand our needs and learn about our desires. Funny....as we don't EVER intend to use her services again....lol.....as our marriage is a "one time gig"...but we hope to share her special gift with anyone that wants the perfect wedding day! THANK YOU CAROL!

She did exactly what I wanted her to do. She gave us a short and simple ceremony and actually gave us a copy of all she would say in case we wanted to change anything. She and I had a very long and thorough conversation when I first sought her services and after that she responded promptly to all my emails. She arrived the day of on time and walked me through the process. I am very happy with her services.

Carol was absolutely wonderful. Most of our contact was through email, since my schedule is such that I am busy almost all of the time (even without wedding planning) and scheduling even a phone call takes either weeks to plan or has to be done at the last minute. Carol was exceedingly accommodating and understanding had multiple options and ideas for the type of ceremony we desired (handfasting), and offered so many insights into wedding/marriage-related issues I hadn't even considered. Carol conducted the ceremony with the respect a wedding ceremony deserves, but brought such excitement and happiness to the occasion that everyone was enthralled. I had so many compliments on our ceremony, and I would recommend Carol to anyone looking for an officiant!

She gave us a ton of examples to choose from and incorporated a couple of pieces we came up with as well to create our vows. She was very professional and after my first conversation with her, I was at ease and knew I was in good hands. Even on a short notice, our wedding ceremony was beautiful!!! Thank you.

After seeing all these great reviews on Carol's services, we decided to go with her as our Justice of Peace. Carol was very responsive to emails and phone calls, and also gave great suggestions on vows, ceremony ideas, and sent us a whole Word document on blessings to be read at the ceremony. When we finally met Carol on our wedding day (10.20.12) she was very friendly and gathered the wedding party and parents together in the living room to go over details of the ceremony. I'm a crier so I got emotional during the ceremony but all in all, it was a beautiful ceremony and Carol's services were fantastic! We had forgotten about the sand ceremony but luckily she was there to remind us, and we ended up completing that part indoors. I would definitely recommend Carol to friends and families!

From the very beginning of this process, Carol was extremely helpful & flexible with her time & great ideas. It was tough trying to plan a long distance wedding without a wedding planner, and Carol willingly took on many responsibilities that I was so grateful for. One of the most personable people I've ever met, she immediately made me feel comfortable & less anxious as time grew closer. I can't wait until it's time to renew our vows so we can do it all over again!!! Thanks Carol, we love you!!! xoxo Cerise & Bobby

Not only was Carol flexible and professional, she was very familiar with the venue and offered suggestions for our ceremony for parts that we were unsure of. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the marriage license requirements and process for an out of town couple getting married in Boston. If we had not been given such complete information, we may not have been able to navigate the steps necessary to get an expedited license. On top of all that, she was so incredibly sweet, and wonderful...because of her, we were able to relax, have fun...and enjoy the game without having to sweat the details. I will never be able to thank her enough.

Carol was amazing through the entire process. We were planning a destination wedding in Boston (Fenway Park to be exact) from Waco, Texas, so there was no way for us to meet anyone. We had to do everything via phone and email. She was always quick to respond and extra helpful with touring and location ideas. She was even flexible when Fenway had a schedule change and we had to move our wedding ceremony up an hour. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. Our entire family was incredibly impressed with her professionalism and how perfectly "us" our wedding ceremony was. Thank you Carol. You made our day.

Carol is sure to allow the bride and groom to personalize their wedding, and yet she offers guidance if needed. I would highly recommend Carol to anyone who wants a stress free, lovely ceremony!

Justice Carol was amazing! I was so nervous about planning a wedding hundreds of miles away, and Justice Carol took the time to make a lengthy phone call to me before we had even met to talk me through the process (all with a hint of that charming Boston accent!). She was so responsive with emails, answering questions, helping us write our vows, we could not have asked for any more in our planning stages. She was prompt to our ceremony and knew exactly what to say to help ease our nerves. She was delightful, charming, and sweet. She also took some great pictures with her camera! I wouldn't only recommend, I would insist that anyone getting married in Boston use Justice Carol! She could not have made this process any easier! Thank you!!!

Carol was a great JP, very easy to work with. We did not do a rehearsal so before the ceremony she made sure to speak to the appropriate people and give them the rundown of their roles. It all went down without a hitch. She has some great token things she does for ceremonies like Wedding Box and Rose ceremony ( we did rose ceremony ) just an added thoughtful thing to add into the standard non religious ceremonies.

What can we say about Carol? Great ideas, puts you at ease, great personality, great communicator. First of all, pre-ceremony, we didn't have a large wedding party, so we didn't have a rehearsal. Carol quickly went over the processional and recessional with us at the function hall so that we felt comfortable. The actual ceremony was all ideas that we saw on Carol's website. The wine box ceremony and the inclusion of our five year old son were talked about days after the wedding. Hands down the best officiant that I have ever seen. Carol, thanks for braving the hurricane to be our officiant!

My husband and I are from the UK, so we had to book a Justice of a Peace over the internet. This could have potentially been a bit of a risky process as you don't really know what the person is like or the quality of their service. However, when we came across Carol's website we were immediately impressed by how much detail there was about herself and the service she provides. It was also nice to see all the pictures of the married couples. We contacted Carol and even though we live abroad, she was happy to talk to us on the phone to discuss the details of our ceremony. Carol sent us the run-through of the ceremony, which we could change depending on what we wanted. We decided to write our own vows, which Carol offered to print out and bring on the day, which was really helpful. Overall an excellent service and a very warm and friendly ceremony.

Carol makes the entire process very easy, especially if you're not the type of person who wants to script the entire ceremony yourself. She provides templates that you can use for the ceremony, your vows, and more. She will help as much, or as little, as you would like, but will never push her ideas onto you. Carol is extremely knowledgeable about the entire process, and is sure to provide you with all the details you could need (from where to get your marriage license to how much it will cost). However, she will never try to charge you for anything that you don't need. For example, we had a very small wedding (25 people), and she was very honest in letting us know that it would be a waste of our money to have her included in any sort of a rehearsal. Instead, she simply showed up 30 minutes before the ceremony to get all the necessary details taken care. Carol is always very professional, and is a pleasure to work with.

Carol was wonderful from the beginning stages of planning right through to our ceremony!! She was very articulate and clear when speaking during our ceremony! Her centered, positive attitude was the perfect complement to our excited anxiety about walking down the aisle! She assured us that everything would go smoothly and it most certainly did. Best value around as we looked into a lot of different officiants. Her website is the most impressive one around!!!! Thank you again Carol for making our ceremony very special. Best wishes always. With love, Ashley and Kamy

Carol is a vessel of information! She was absolutely wonderful and patient at my son’s wedding. Even though we started an hour later than scheduled she told me not to worry about it. I would recommend her to everyone I know who is looking for a Justice of the Peace! Thank you so much Carol!!! Cheers! Cheryl Spagnuolo

Carol was fantastic.... from the moment we booked her (a year and a half ago), I knew she was going to be great. Fast forward to a week before the wedding, we had finished our planning.....but, we forgot to confirm her as our officiant. She called back right away to confirm that we were still on her schedule, and I am SO happy we didn't have to choose anyone else. She was pleasant, friendly, and professional. Our ceremony was kept short and sweet, and she was so good, we recommended her to a family member ;)

Carol was a amazing! Throughout the entire process she was a wealth of information - between helpful hints before the day of the ceremony (when we were just getting started with the planning and logicistics) or helping my husband go over the process of everything the day of the ceremony (and just generally being a calming presence amongst the nerves), I can safely say that Carol is the best officiant that I could've ever imagined or dreamed of! I am so happy that she was there for us on our big day - I can't even begin to imagine going through that special event with anybody else!

There is a reason that Carol has so many reviews, all of them 5 stars – it’s because she is so wonderful! From our fist phone call to the ceremony itself, Carol was a delight to work with. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable about performing wedding ceremonies, and her expertise is limitless. She helped us write the perfect vows for our ceremony, and she has wonderful, unique ceremony ideas that people are sure to remember. We utilized the love letter and wine box ceremony designed by Carol, and people are still talking about what a great idea they thought that was, and how no one had seen it before. Carol, we are so glad we chose you to marry us, you were the perfect choice, and we wouldn’t have changed a thing. Margot and Jim, April 30, 2011

Between the time we decided to get married and the actual wedding was only a few weeks. I emailed Carol and we were on the phone only a few days later making plans. Because I'm from Canada (getting married in Boston), Carol spent close to an hour with me on the phone going over the process of getting a license and giving me ideas for our small ceremony. The vows she sent for our non-religious ceremony were perfect, although we were given the option to make changes if we wanted. Carol also made a certificate for us to take home right from the ceremony that was great! Our family and friends that were in attendance loved her. Carol was very friendly, professional and super helpful! We really were lucky to have her :)

Working with Carol was very easy from the start. It's nice to work with someone who knows exactly what they are doing because in the beginning we had no clue. Also we incorporated two of her unique ideas into our ceremony, and we received multiple comments on how beautiful the ceremony was and how many of our guest had never seen anything like them (not a dry eye in the whole place) it was amazing thank you so much Carol.

Carol was the absolute best! She married my husband and me on top of the Green Monster at Fenway Park in the middle of January, with only 6 weeks’ notice. With my husband being stationed in Afghanistan we had a limited window of opportunity that Carol was extremely generous and flexible with. It was by far the best day of my life and Carol made it all possible! Thank you Carol! ~ Jenna & Tom Travers

We were very happy that we chose to work with Carol for our wedding ceremony. Not only did she work closely with us to design a ceremony that was meaningful, she also provided some great wedding advice - from the big picture about life, and the small practical details about what to do when getting a license, how to best walk down the aisle etc. And while I was crying during our vows, she subtly passed the tissues she keeps with her to me! She's very detail oriented and just a wonderful person as well. It was such a special day, and she was a big part of that!

We had planned an outside wedding and approximately fifteen minutes prior to the ceremony the sky opened up; Carol was very calm as they moved us into the chapel.

Carol is a wonderful caring person who takes her duties serious and with a personal touch.

My husband and I were married by Carol on May 30th, 2010 at the Danversport Yacht Club. It was our dream wedding ceremony and I cannot compliment Carol enough for what several of our guests said was one of the most beautiful wedding ceremonies they have ever seen. Our guests greeted us and could not stop telling us how wonderful Carol was as an officiant and how absolutely romantic and beautiful they found our ceremony, particularly Carol's unique wine box and love letter ceremony. This signature ceremony of Carol's was a HUGE hit with our guests and something that 100% of our guests had never seen before as part of a wedding ceremony. More than a few of our guests had tears in their eyes. We feel incredibly lucky we found Carol to marry us and could not imagine a more perfect ceremony. If you are a bride looking for a truly extraordinary officiant, look no further!!

We got great comments from all of our guests who said they loved either the Wine box or the butterflies and that it was one of the nicest ceremonies they had seen. Carol dresses very professional and we would highly recommend her services to anyone who is getting married.

Her vows is very suitable for us no matter our religion is. She also provides her own version of marriage certificate in addition to the formal, so sweat!!! The whole process was held in her beautiful spacious house. For our convenience, she also lead us to vow words by words, and allowed us to take photos by will.

Carol was quite possibly everything we could ask for in a JP. Her attention to detail and ability to guide us in the planning process were invaluable to us, as well as her suggestions and guidance before and during our ceremony. Her experience helped in that she was able to provide answers to some questions we never even thought to ask! She arrived on site with plenty of time to spare and, since we are a very easygoing couple (with no real idea of what we wanted!) she helped run us all through exactly what we needed to know and do, where and how to stand, when to walk, and what to say during the ceremony. She was open to any and all ideas that we had or direction we wanted to take the ceremony, but we wanted to keep it short, sweet and simple and she helped it stay just that. Her friendly demeanor really put us at ease when she arrived on site. She also keeps tissues handy in the event the bride or groom get a little emotional, and I thought that was a very nice (and helpful!!) touch.
A huge thank you to Carol for being part of our wedding!!!

From the first email I sent she was friendly, enthusiastic, helpful, and timely. She helped frame our wedding by giving us a plethora of ceremony options to add or subtract to make it right for us. At the ceremony she was personable and genuine. Before leaving she gave us a marriage certificate of her own and a copy of our vowels. Both make me smile because the day was a blur and this helps to remember. I would recommend her to anyone!

Carol was wonderful.....she made us feel very relaxed and comfortable. My Husband is a shy person and was VERY nervous about talking in front of all our guests, Carol took the time to talk to him before the ceremony started and calm him down and made him feel extremely comfortable talking in front of everyone. Her quick response to the messages I left her was amazing. I left a message literally 2 minutes later she was calling me back....WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND CAROL!!! SHE WAS THE BEST!!!!!

Absolutely excellent! Carol J. Merletti is fabulous! My fiancé was working in eight cities throughout the US & one of them happened to be Boston. We're huge Boston Red Sox fans, so our thought was "let's get married 9-09-09 in Boston"!
Initially we were going to get married at Faneuil Hall because it is a historical landmark & the last location of the day for my fiancé. Then Carol mentioned she was going to be at Fenway Park marrying two other couples. Suddenly we thought should we? Can we? Yeah, let’s do it! We had a timing constraint, however everything worked out beautifully & we met Carol at the Boston Red Sox game on 9-09-09; she married us at the 7th inning stretch! The Red Sox won! The whole evening was brilliant!
Since we are out of towners, Carol helped in every way possible, whatever it was she was there. She stayed in touch with us before during & after our ceremony. She is flexible, endearing & warm & that was just via emails & phone conversations. Of course when we met her we fell head over heels & so grateful that I happened to find her on the internet. She was not recommended to us, it was just sheer perfect luck!

Carol was a fantastic officiant for our wedding! Her first concern throughout the process was to ensure that the ceremony was performed exactly the way we wanted it. She helped us prepare beautiful vows and went above and beyond in many areas. Carol came to the ceremony with our vows preprinted for us to read, a keepsake copy of the ceremony, and a beautiful substitute certificate for us to take with us on the honeymoon before we received the original. She is thoughtful, considerate, and diligent in every aspect of her service. Thank you so much, Carol!

Carol was wonderful to work with. She always responded within a day via e-mail or phone to questions we had. Worked with us to help develop a ceremony that was both unique and personal to both of us. She didn't get remotely fazed when weather nearly completely ruined our rehearsal the day before, but remained calm and walked us through the ceremony and ease and made the rest of our wedding party feel confident about the event. On the day itself she did a terrific job and helped make our day stress-free and special. We would be happy to recommend her to anyone getting married.

Carol was just perfect and this is no exaggeration! We were so pleased with her; she made us all so very comfortable with her warmth and very personable attitude. Our wedding was viewed via Skype by my parents, friends and relatives and every one exclaimed of how extremely impressed they all were with how she conducted the ceremony. They spoke of her ability to make everyone feel comfortable and a part of the ceremony, and at the same time, to maintain the calm of the occasion. We would recommend her to anyone who wants their day to be an extra special one. Thanks again Carol. (Wayne and Nicole)

Carol did such a great job at our friend's wedding we were compelled to book her for ours. She was very accessible and helpful throughout the planning process, as well as extremely reasonably priced. She was kind, enthusiastic and really made us feel as though she were thrilled to be a part of our day. We chose to write our own ceremony and Carol provided us with plenty of material to chose from. She was absolutely delightful from start to finish and I highly recommend her to any couple planning a wedding!
Thank you for everything Carol!

I highly recommend this officiant. We contacted her very close to the actual wedding date which she was able to accommodate on short notice. She was accessible by email and phone, and had many recommendations at the ready. She met with us in person at the wedding site prior to the ceremony to troubleshoot potential location and flow issues. She was very positive, personable, knowledgeable, and flexible, which is ideal on a day that can be filled with anxiety and stress.

Carol was a fantastic officiant. She was helpful and had many suggestions and examples of different types of ceremonies. She was more than willing to customize our ceremony in any way that we wanted and was always available when we had questions. I would highly recommend Carol for any wedding she was great.

I never had a chance to meet Carol before my wedding day. We only corresponded by phone and email, but she was exactly how I imagined her to be when the day arrived, like a familiar friend I hadn't seen in a while. My husband spoke incredibly highly of Carol. She was especially good at calming our nerves and making us understand what to do & where to be before and during the ceremony. Her website paints a very real reflection of her caring and honest personality. She did a wonderful job! I gave a slightly lower rating on flexibility because there was a fee to meet with her in person (she has a busy schedule outside of weddings), but I didn't feel like I missed out on much with her constant email/phone availability. I'm proud to be her 400th wedding-- now I understand why so many brides trust their most important day in her hands.

Carol is very professional and at the same time a very kind hearted. She was very flexible to make an appointment with. The ceremony was perfect and her choice of words were precise and showed us that she had put a lot thought into it. I recommend Carol as the officiant to everyone.

I selected Carol due to her fabulous web site and I could not have been more thrilled. There was so much detail and effort put into the site. Hopefully a couple only get married once and the process is a foreign experience but Carol outlined the process on the web in spectacular fashion. When I spoke to her it was even better. She put us both at ease from the start of calling her to engage her services until the suggestion she made after the ceremony, which was 'take a couple minutes now because the rest of the day is going to be really crazy'. It was the best suggestion anyone gave us that day!

Carol was wonderful. She e-mailed back the same day that we contacted her, and immediately agreed to officiate at our wedding, even though it was only a month and a half's notice. We talked to her on the phone for a consultation, and she was super-friendly and helpful. She even recommended that we not do a rehearsal with her so that we would save the $50 meeting fee, because our wedding was so small (only eight guests). When we changed the time of our ceremony, she had no problem with it.
She sent us an outline of suggested vows as well as readings, and we were able to personalize the whole thing exactly as we wished. Two days before our wedding, she checked in to confirm with us.
On our wedding day, she arrived at the site early, said hello to all our family members, and went over details with us. She was extremely flexible as to the format of the wedding and where the three of us would stand, and did a beautiful job officiating--both serious and approachable. At the end she gave us a beautiful version of our marriage certificate, suitable for framing.
We highly recommend Carol. She was friendly and professional, and made our wedding perfectly intimate and personalized.

I booked Carol after viewing her website. She seemed to be a very family oriented person that just had you in mind. I was so right. I never felt 2nd to anyone; she sat with us on the phone going over every detail to make sure it was "Our Day". I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone. You will be sure to get something perfect.

Carol was an amazingly friendly and professional officiant.

Carol officiated our wedding ceremony in October. We cannot express how grateful we are that we chose to work with her. She made our wedding ceremony exactly what I have always dreamed! She worked with us to make the ceremony our own and tailored it to us. Everything about it was from the heart and very personal to us. I can't even tell you how many guests told me that it was one of the best ceremonies they've ever been to. Carol was down to earth and so easy to work with. It was a delight to have her as a part of our big day!

Carol was excellent!! I cannot emphasis this enough; she was really great to work with. Carol totally put me a ease on what to expect, helped with the vows, made great recommendation and suggestions. It really was a worry free day knowing that Carol had worked with our DJ before and communicated directly with the wedding coordinator @ the Hall to make sure the event went smoothly. We received a lot of compliments on the wedding service. People told us it was the best wedding service they ever attended. They said they never laugh so hard, and cried so much, the ceremony was simply beautiful and memorable. Our 8 yr old son ended up being the flower girl since we couldn't get my 2yr old niece down the aisle, our 14 yr daughter write a poem that had everyone crying and I was so memorized by the day that I didn't realize Carol was talking to me when it was my turn to say the vows. Carol, you really made the day special. Thank you!!! Rhonda and John

It was the most moving, personal, sincere, and heartfelt wedding ceremony I had ever witnessed. I really didn't expect much as it was at Fenway Park and not quite the setting a Mother wants when her "baby girl" gets married. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Nick and Julie as well as the girls are HUGE Red Sox fans and they were thrilled to be married in Fenway Park. What a lasting memory this will be for us all. I cried more looking at the pictures and remembering the words and emotion Carol put into this wedding than I did that day! It was truly awesome and I am convinced it would not have had near the meaning if done by anyone else. You have been exceptional to leave this kind of impression on the Mother of the Bride!!

I chose Carol Merletti when I went to a friend's wedding that she was officiating. Carol is the absolutely PERFECT officiant to have for your wedding. She is a friendly and sweet, timely, extremely flexible non-denominational Justice of the Peace. She made suggestions and allowed me to tweak the entire ceremony to my liking. Her professionalism bowled me over, she even called me a few days before the wedding to make sure I'd gotten my marriage license and to make sure I wasn't too nervous about anything. Not to mention that her fee is UNBELIEVABLY reasonable (the lowest I've ever seen - no gouging here!). And she was so easy to be around...I wanted to hug her!!
You can see that Carol truly loves marrying people. Even my family loved her.

We were honored to have Carole officiate our legal wedding. I found Carole after searching the internet for an officiant who would be receptive to performing a same-sex marriage. After reading an article she wrote for the Boston Globe endorsing the rights of same-sex couples, I emailed her and requested she perform our service.
Carole was outstanding. She was extremely flexible and accommodating -- from agreeing to perform the ceremony on very short notice, to providing us with a great base ceremony, to welcoming all of our modifications, to patiently waiting for our late start due to some lost family members, to ultimately performing our ceremony brilliantly. We highly recommend her to any couple looking for an enthusiastic and professional officiant.

I contacted Carol after finding her website and she is exactly as she presents herself. Warm, friendly, and excited to participate. I was planning long distance from Colorado, and Carol made a lot of helpful suggestions without showing personal preference and also made it easy to communicate everything we wanted via phone and email. Though we did not meet until the wedding day, I was already comfortable with her and her services and knew that everything would go as planned. Carol is a true professional and was a pleasure to have presiding over our ceremony. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant to make their day special.

On the wedding day Carol was so professional and well spoken, and she put so much care into getting to know us and making our day special. So many of our guests commented on just how wonderful she was! Two thumbs up- thank you Carol!

I could not ask for a better person to perform my wedding ceremony. She was professional and kind and made sure the ceremony was about the couple and not herself.

Our wedding ceremony and vows were written in a very timely manner by our officiant. We conversed over the phone and emails about any changes made to the document originally sent. This officiant was flexible, as all changes and other ideas made by me and my husband were welcomed and included in our ceremony. The officiant met with me before the ceremony to make sure everything was all set and that I knew what I was doing for each part of the ceremony. She was friendly, spoke clearly, and had a professional appearance. I would recommend her any time!

Living in Florida and planning a wedding in Boston, I found Carol on the internet and received a return phone call right away after making my information request. She not only spoke with me over the telephone at length, but made herself available for our wedding scheduled for about 2 months from my initial contact with her and met with us when we flew up to Boston a month prior to finalize our arrangements. Her professionalism was outshined only by her personal attention to my husband and me and our family. What a great touch she added to our small wedding!

She also gave us a pretty marriage certificate to frame!

We first heard of Carol by way of an article which appeared in one of the local papers. She had recently performed a marriage ceremony at Fenway Park. Upon reading her website we immediately agreed that Carol was the one that we wanted to officiate our marriage. Well we just can't say enough about Carol! I emailed her thru her website and received a response immediately. She was extremely flexible and accommodating, agreeing to perform the ceremony on very short notice. She went out of her way to make sure all of our needs were met and that we were comfortable. In addition to her professionalism, we found her to be very caring and sincere. Her sense of humor is wonderful! She is a blast to be around and a Red Sox fan to boot!! She made our day extra special and we will never forget her-she is the BEST!!

I highly recommend Carol's services. Carol was very organized at our prep meetings and was very flexible with our requests. We had a great dialogue in preparing our ceremony and with her guidance were able to fill in some gaps that my wife and I were struggling with. Carol's prepared format suited us perfectly and was exactly what we were looking to have for our wedding.
In addition, we had some slight changes actually about 20 minutes before our ceremony requiring us to switch ushers and brides maids. It got a little hectic and stressful. Carol was able to go with it and help organize the change which helped calm us down and allow the wedding to go off without a hitch.
If you decide to choose Carol, you will not be disappointed.

My husband and I are from the UK, so we had to book a Justice of a Peace over the internet. This could have potentially been a bit of a risky process as you don't really know what the person is like or the quality of their service. However, when we came across Carol's website we were immediately impressed by how much detail there was about herself and the service she provides. It was also nice to see all the pictures of the married couples. We contacted Carol and even though we live abroad, she was happy to talk to us on the phone to discuss the details of our ceremony. Carol sent us the run-through of the ceremony, which we could change depending on what we wanted. We decided to write our own vows, which Carol offered to print out and bring on the day, which was really helpful. Overall an excellent service and a very warm and friendly ceremony.

Carol is a vessel of information! She was absolutely wonderful and patient at my son’s wedding. Even though we started an hour later than scheduled she told me not to worry about it. I would recommend her to everyone I know who is looking for a Justice of the Peace!
Carol was amazing!
Throughout the entire process she was a wealth of information - between helpful hints before the day of the ceremony (when we were just getting started with the planning and logicistics) or helping my husband go over the process of everything the day of the ceremony (and just generally being a calming presence amongst the nerves), I can safely say that Carol is the best officiant that I could've ever imagined or dreamed of!

Carol was the absolute best! She married my husband and me on top of the Green Monster at Fenway Park in the middle of January, with only 6 weeks’ notice. With my husband being stationed in Afghanistan we had a limited window of opportunity that Carol was extremely generous and flexible with. It was by far the best day of my life and Carol made it all possible! Thank you Carol!
Carol is a wonderful officiant who provided us a very fitting ceremony. We felt that it was very reflective of our personalities and liked being able to customize it as much as we liked.

Carol was amazing! From the day I first called to see if she was available for our Fenway Park wedding, she was friendly, helpful, enthusiastic, and patient. She gave us tons of suggestions and supported our Sox-themed wedding, right down to the vows. I had so many guests come up to me after the ceremony with compliments for her friendly and professional style. And my husband said Carol kept him calm!

Carol is, by far, one of the nicest & most professional people I have gotten to know. After 5 minutes on the phone, you will know she is the right person to officiate your event. She came up with a great ceremony for us, worked with us to ensure it was exactly what we wanted & performed our service in a way we will always remember. If you want a memorable service, Carol is the person you should use.

We were kind of freaking out about an officiant because we had no idea how to pick one. After we spoke to Carol we knew we had found the perfect person for our ceremony. She was always very informative and prepared us for the day. She laid everything out for us which made the big day less intimidating. It meant a lot to us that she wanted pictures of us after the ceremony; it showed us just how much she loves what she does.

Rick and I thoroughly enjoyed working with Carol and the time we spent getting to know each other so she could personalize our ceremony. She was so open and relaxed and encouraged us to create an intimate service that would include family and friends in a unique way. She is warm and charming and we felt like we had known her forever.

Carol made the process effortless and stress free for us on our wedding day. Since day one with speaking with Carol, she was very informative about the whole process in terms of getting a marriage license, what to review, what to do on the wedding day, etc. We made sure to follow her suggestions so that the wedding day would be efficient and that we would legally be married (marriage license needs to be present when she marries you!!). We would recommend Carol wholeheartedly as she was kind, informative, funny, and having her there on our wedding, you knew that she would support you in any way she could. Also, seeing her smile makes you feel at ease as well. She is very sweet!

When my Partner and I started planning our wedding, we had selected another Officiant to work with, but a few months before our wedding, there was a change of plans and she was no longer able to perform the ceremony for us. So, with only a few months before our wedding date, we began our search. Rather quickly, we came across Carol’s website and were instantly impressed with the wealth of information she had on her site, not to mention how many ceremonies she had conducted. What really attracted us to her was that she performed both straight and gay and lesbian services. Being a Gay Couple, it was important to us that we worked with someone that had experience with a gay ceremony. We called Carol and instantly connected with her. We arranged a time to meet and the planning began. She was absolutely so easy to work with, making the day all about us, while still offering many suggestions. We conversed over the phone and email, she was very responsive. The week before, we connected, finalized the ceremony and were ready to marry. She made it so easy, she focused on us. The day of the ceremony she checked in with us prior to the ceremony and put us at ease. Her style and presence during the ceremony were wonderful. Her voice is so confident and you can just hear the passion for what she does in her tone. The ceremony was beautiful, and people still comment on how nicely it was put together, Carol is owed much of that credit. Thanks for helping us create a ceremony that was personal to us. I will gladly pass your name on to anyone in need of an officiant.

Carol was great to work with! Despite the fact that all of our interaction up until my wedding day had been over the phone or by email (I live out of state), I felt like I had known her forever and it was so nice to feel like she was genuinely interested in getting to know me and my fiancé. During our wedding ceremony there was a small slip-up as the best man forgot one of the rings, but Carol continued like a true professional and didn't let the little bump in the road throw her off. Overall she was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Carol is very friendly, sincere, and helpful. She was flexible in accommodating our change in location when it rained. She arrived early, well/officially dressed, prepared with tissues and tape (which we used), and remembered the names of everyone involved in our small wedding ceremony. Carol provided us with a lot of helpful information in the weeks prior to our ceremony. She has a no-pressure manner of communicating her additional services, and emits a lot of positive energy. We feel fortunate to have had Carol officiate our marriage.

It was a pleasure to work with Carol. We had a short turnaround when we called her to book our date and she made her schedule work with ours. She offered great ideas, templates and guidelines, but ultimately we built our ceremony the way we wanted it and she was supportive of it all. I highly recommend her friendly manner on your big day. Thanks so much Carol!

Also, with the different options, we were still able to customize and change details so that our ceremony would be unique.
Carol was always very professional and quick to respond to our questions. She arrived on time and our ceremony went as planned with no issues =)

Carol was AMAZING and without her knowledge and insight we would not have gotten married! She suggested that we "expedite" our marriage license and pay the additional fee and spend the extra time to make this happen. This intuitiveness and extra care saved us THOUSANDS of dollars because the day our marriage license would have been ready to pick-up from Boston City Hall-would have never happened! This was the day the City of Boston was on LOCK-DOWN! Nothing was open and we would NOT have been able to get our license to be married the next day-Saturday! Carol is "special" and really took the time to understand our needs and learn about our desires. Funny....as we don't EVER intend to use her services again....lol.....as our marriage is a "one time gig"...but we hope to share her special gift with anyone that wants the perfect wedding day! THANK YOU CAROL!

She did exactly what I wanted her to do. She gave us a short and simple ceremony and actually gave us a copy of all she would say in case we wanted to change anything. She and I had a very long and thorough conversation when I first sought her services and after that she responded promptly to all my emails. She arrived the day of on time and walked me through the process. I am very happy with her services.

Carol was absolutely wonderful. Most of our contact was through email, since my schedule is such that I am busy almost all of the time (even without wedding planning) and scheduling even a phone call takes either weeks to plan or has to be done at the last minute. Carol was exceedingly accommodating and understanding had multiple options and ideas for the type of ceremony we desired (handfasting), and offered so many insights into wedding/marriage-related issues I hadn't even considered. Carol conducted the ceremony with the respect a wedding ceremony deserves, but brought such excitement and happiness to the occasion that everyone was enthralled. I had so many compliments on our ceremony, and I would recommend Carol to anyone looking for an officiant!

After seeing all these great reviews on Carol's services, we decided to go with her as our Justice of Peace. Carol was very responsive to emails and phone calls, and also gave great suggestions on vows, ceremony ideas, and sent us a whole Word document on blessings to be read at the ceremony. When we finally met Carol on our wedding day (10.20.12) she was very friendly and gathered the wedding party and parents together in the living room to go over details of the ceremony. I'm a crier so I got emotional during the ceremony but all in all, it was a beautiful ceremony and Carol's services were fantastic! We had forgotten about the sand ceremony but luckily she was there to remind us, and we ended up completing that part indoors. I would definitely recommend Carol to friends and families!

One of the most personable people I've ever met, she immediately made me feel comfortable & less anxious as time grew closer. I can't wait until it's time to renew our vows so we can do it all over again!!! Thanks Carol, we love you!!! xoxo Cerise & Bobby

Not only was Carol flexible and professional, she was very familiar with the venue and offered suggestions for our ceremony for parts that we were unsure of. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the marriage license requirements and process for an out of town couple getting married in Boston. If we had not been given such complete information, we may not have been able to navigate the steps necessary to get an expedited license. On top of all that, she was so incredibly sweet, and wonderful...because of her, we were able to relax, have fun...and enjoy the game without having to sweat the details. I will never be able to thank her enough.

Carol exceeded every expectation that my husband and I set for our wedding ceremony! We wanted to marry in Boston, and we live in Ohio, so we never physically met Carol until moments before we exchanged our vows. We had complete trust in Carol because our email and phone conversations went so smoothly. Carol is sure to allow the bride and groom to personalize their wedding, and yet she offers guidance if needed.
I would highly recommend Carol to anyone who wants a stress free, lovely ceremony!

She was so responsive with emails, answering questions, helping us write our vows, we could not have asked for any more in our planning stages. She was prompt to our ceremony and knew exactly what to say to help ease our nerves. She was delightful, charming, and sweet. She also took some great pictures with her camera! I wouldn't only recommend, I would insist that anyone getting married in Boston use Justice Carol! She could not have made this process any easier! Thank you!!!

Carol was not only available on short notice, but was accommodating
in every manner possible. We wanted an intimate ceremony at home with
just our most special lived ones. In one correspondence, I had mentioned
how shy I am speaking in front of others; she immediately put me at ease with kind words &
Warm reassurances. She made our wedding exactly what we had wanted from the
Beginning - romantic, intimate & so utterly meaningful to the both of us. For this we are
endlessly thankful.

Carol was a great JP, very easy to work with. We did not do a rehearsal so before the ceremony she made sure to speak to the appropriate people and give them the rundown of their roles. It all went down without a hitch. She has some great token things she does for ceremonies like Wedding Box and Rose ceremony ( we did rose ceremony ) just an added thoughtful thing to add into the standard non religious ceremonies.

What can we say about Carol? Great ideas, puts you at ease, great personality, great communicator. First of all, pre-ceremony, we didn't have a large wedding party, so we didn't have a rehearsal. Carol quickly went over the processional and recessional with us at the function hall so that we felt comfortable. The actual ceremony was all ideas that we saw on Carol's website. The wine box ceremony and the inclusion of our five year old son were talked about days after the wedding. Hands down the best officiant that I have ever seen. Carol, thanks for braving the hurricane to be our officiant!

My husband and I are from the UK, so we had to book a Justice of a Peace over the internet. This could have potentially been a bit of a risky process as you don't really know what the person is like or the quality of their service. However, when we came across Carol's website we were immediately impressed by how much detail there was about herself and the service she provides. It was also nice to see all the pictures of the married couples. We contacted Carol and even though we live abroad, she was happy to talk to us on the phone to discuss the details of our ceremony. Carol sent us the run-through of the ceremony, which we could change depending on what we wanted. We decided to write our own vows, which Carol offered to print out and bring on the day, which was really helpful. Overall an excellent service and a very warm and friendly ceremony.

Carol makes the entire process very easy, especially if you're not the type of person who wants to script the entire ceremony yourself. She provides templates that you can use for the ceremony, your vows, and more. She will help as much, or as little, as you would like, but will never push her ideas onto you.
Carol is extremely knowledgeable about the entire process, and is sure to provide you with all the details you could need (from where to get your marriage license to how much it will cost). However, she will never try to charge you for anything that you don't need. For example, we had a very small wedding (25 people), and she was very honest in letting us know that it would be a waste of our money to have her included in any sort of a rehearsal. Instead, she simply showed up 30 minutes before the ceremony to get all the necessary details taken care.
Carol is always very professional, and is a pleasure to work with.

Carol was fantastic.... from the moment we booked her (a year and a half ago), I knew she was going to be great. Fast forward to a week before the wedding, we had finished our planning.....but, we forgot to confirm her as our officiant. She called back right away to confirm that we were still on her schedule, and I am SO happy we didn't have to choose anyone else. She was pleasant, friendly, and professional. Our ceremony was kept short and sweet, and she was so good, we recommended her to a family member ;)

Throughout the entire process she was a wealth of information - between helpful hints before the day of the ceremony (when we were just getting started with the planning and logicistics) or helping my husband go over the process of everything the day of the ceremony (and just generally being a calming presence amongst the nerves), I can safely say that Carol is the best officiant that I could've ever imagined or dreamed of!
I am so happy that she was there for us on our big day - I can't even begin to imagine going through that special event with anybody else!

There is a reason that Carol has so many reviews, all of them 5 stars – it’s because she is so wonderful! From our fist phone call to the ceremony itself, Carol was a delight to work with. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable about performing wedding ceremonies, and her expertise is limitless. She helped us write the perfect vows for our ceremony, and she has wonderful, unique ceremony ideas that people are sure to remember. We utilized the love letter and wine box ceremony designed by Carol, and people are still talking about what a great idea they thought that was, and how no one had seen it before. Carol, we are so glad we chose you to marry us, you were the perfect choice, and we wouldn’t have changed a thing. Margot and Jim, April 30, 2011

We loved Carol! Our ceremony was quite simple, but the vows she helped us with made everything so beautiful. Very helpful and professional. Easy to speak to, as if you've known her for more than the 20 minutes over the phone.

Between the time we decided to get married and the actual wedding was only a few weeks. I emailed Carol and we were on the phone only a few days later making plans. Because I'm from Canada (getting married in Boston), Carol spent close to an hour with me on the phone going over the process of getting a license and giving me ideas for our small ceremony. The vows she sent for our non-religious ceremony were perfect, although we were given the option to make changes if we wanted. Carol also made a certificate for us to take home right from the ceremony that was great!
Our family and friends that were in attendance loved her. Carol was very friendly, professional and super helpful!
We really were lucky to have her :)

Working with Carol was very easy from the start. It's nice to work with someone who knows exactly what they are doing because in the beginning we had no clue. Also we incorporated two of her unique ideas into our ceremony, and we received multiple comments on how beautiful the ceremony was and how many of our guest had never seen anything like them (not a dry eye in the whole place) it was amazing thank you so much Carol.

Carol was the absolute best! She married my husband and me on top of the Green Monster at Fenway Park in the middle of January, with only 6 weeks’ notice. With my husband being stationed in Afghanistan we had a limited window of opportunity that Carol was extremely generous and flexible with. It was by far the best day of my life and Carol made it all possible! Thank you Carol!

Carol was absolutely lovely! We were very fortunate to have come across her and we are so appreciative for her genuine thoughtfulness and work ethic. The first time I spoke with her, she stayed on the phone with me trying to figure out a perfect place to perform the private ceremony; she was so helpful and kind. I would recommend her for any type of ceremony! I truly believe she loves what she does, and she adds joy to an already joyous occasion. We wish her the best!

We were very happy that we chose to work with Carol for our wedding ceremony. Not only did she work closely with us to design a ceremony that was meaningful, she also provided some great wedding advice - from the big picture about life, and the small practical details about what to do when getting a license, how to best walk down the aisle etc. And while I was crying during our vows, she subtly passed the tissues she keeps with her to me! She's very detail oriented and just a wonderful person as well. It was such a special day, and she was a big part of that!

Carol gave us extremely good advice, she was more than helpful and very flexible. We had planned an outside wedding and approximately fifteen minutes prior to the ceremony the sky opened up; Carol was very calm as they moved us into the chapel. Carol really helped us stay calm as she arranged a new ceremony for us, completely unplanned. The ceremony went perfect thanks to Carol.
Carol is a wonderful caring person who takes her duties serious and with a personal touch.

We had a small intimate wedding with just immediate family and she made it very special for us. Our guests told us what a great ceremony it was.

My husband and I were married by Carol on May 30th, 2010 at the Danversport Yacht Club. It was our dream wedding ceremony and I cannot compliment Carol enough for what several of our guests said was one of the most beautiful wedding ceremonies they have ever seen. Our guests greeted us and could not stop telling us how wonderful Carol was as an officiant and how absolutely romantic and beautiful they found our ceremony, particularly Carol's unique wine box and love letter ceremony. This signature ceremony of Carol's was a HUGE hit with our guests and something that 100% of our guests had never seen before as part of a wedding ceremony. More than a few of our guests had tears in their eyes. We feel incredibly lucky we found Carol to marry us and could not imagine a more perfect ceremony. If you are a bride looking for a truly extraordinary officiant, look no further!!

Carol stayed in touch with us every step of the way, providing helpful tips and advice. She let us know what to get, when to get it and how (license, vows, special ceremonial items, etc) She was reassuring as well as calming during a very hectic and stressful time. She made our wedding such a special and memorable day for us, our families and our friends. Thank you again Carol... we love you!

Carol was the Officiant for our wedding and she did a great job. When we first met with Carol she spent a long time working with us and giving us everything we needed to design our ceremony to our liking. She suggested a Wine box ceremony and butterfly release that we decided to go with and it ended up being amazing the day of the wedding. We got great comments from all of our guests who said they loved either the Wine box or the butterflies and that it was one of the nicest ceremonies they had seen. Carol dresses very professional and we would highly recommend her services to anyone who is getting married.

Carol is a great choice to be your officiant. She is very flexible by suggesting us to go to her house instead of my apartment considering we don't have a beautiful house. Her vows is very suitable for us no matter our religion is. She also provides her own version of marriage certificate in addition to the formal, so sweat!!! The whole process was held in her beautiful spacious house. For our convenience, she also lead us to vow words by words, and allowed us to take photos by will. I will like to give her five stars and recommend her. Thanks.

Carol was quite possibly everything we could ask for in a JP. Her attention to detail and ability to guide us in the planning process were invaluable to us, as well as her suggestions and guidance before and during our ceremony. Her experience helped in that she was able to provide answers to some questions we never even thought to ask! She arrived on site with plenty of time to spare and, since we are a very easygoing couple (with no real idea of what we wanted!) she helped run us all through exactly what we needed to know and do, where and how to stand, when to walk, and what to say during the ceremony. She was open to any and all ideas that we had or direction we wanted to take the ceremony, but we wanted to keep it short, sweet and simple and she helped it stay just that. Her friendly demeanor really put us at ease when she arrived on site. She also keeps tissues handy in the event the bride or groom get a little emotional, and I thought that was a very nice (and helpful!!) touch.
A huge thank you to Carol for being part of our wedding!!!

From the first email I sent she was friendly, enthusiastic, helpful, and timely. She helped frame our wedding by giving us a plethora of ceremony options to add or subtract to make it right for us. At the ceremony she was personable and genuine. Before leaving she gave us a marriage certificate of her own and a copy of our vowels. Both make me smile because the day was a blur and this helps to remember. I would recommend her to anyone!

Absolutely excellent! Carol J. Merletti is fabulous! My fiancé was working in eight cities throughout the US & one of them happened to be Boston. We're huge Boston Red Sox fans, so our thought was "let's get married 9-09-09 in Boston"!
Initially we were going to get married at Faneuil Hall because it is a historical landmark & the last location of the day for my fiancé. Then Carol mentioned she was going to be at Fenway Park marrying two other couples. Suddenly we thought should we? Can we? Yeah, let’s do it! We had a timing constraint, however everything worked out beautifully & we met Carol at the Boston Red Sox game on 9-09-09; she married us at the 7th inning stretch! The Red Sox won! The whole evening was brilliant!
Since we are out of towners, Carol helped in every way possible, whatever it was she was there. She stayed in touch with us before during & after our ceremony. She is flexible, endearing & warm & that was just via emails & phone conversations. Of course when we met her we fell head over heels & so grateful that I happened to find her on the internet. She was not recommended to us, it was just sheer perfect luck!

Carol was a fantastic officiant for our wedding! Her first concern throughout the process was to ensure that the ceremony was performed exactly the way we wanted it. She helped us prepare beautiful vows and went above and beyond in many areas. Carol came to the ceremony with our vows preprinted for us to read, a keepsake copy of the ceremony, and a beautiful substitute certificate for us to take with us on the honeymoon before we received the original. She is thoughtful, considerate, and diligent in every aspect of her service. Thank you so much, Carol!

Carol was wonderful to work with. She always responded within a day via e-mail or phone to questions we had. Worked with us to help develop a ceremony that was both unique and personal to both of us. She didn't get remotely fazed when weather nearly completely ruined our rehearsal the day before, but remained calm and walked us through the ceremony and ease and made the rest of our wedding party feel confident about the event. On the day itself she did a terrific job and helped make our day stress-free and special. We would be happy to recommend her to anyone getting married.

They spoke of her ability to make everyone feel comfortable and a part of the ceremony, and at the same time, to maintain the calm of the occasion. We would recommend her to anyone who wants their day to be an extra special one. Thanks again Carol. (Wayne and Nicole)

She was accessible by email and phone, and had many recommendations at the ready. She met with us in person at the wedding site prior to the ceremony to troubleshoot potential location and flow issues. She was very positive, personable, knowledgeable, and flexible, which is ideal on a day that can be filled with anxiety and stress.

I never had a chance to meet Carol before my wedding day. We only corresponded by phone and email, but she was exactly how I imagined her to be when the day arrived, like a familiar friend I hadn't seen in a while. My husband spoke incredibly highly of Carol. She was especially good at calming our nerves and making us understand what to do & where to be before and during the ceremony. Her website paints a very real reflection of her caring and honest personality. She did a wonderful job! I gave a slightly lower rating on flexibility because there was a fee to meet with her in person (she has a busy schedule outside of weddings), but I didn't feel like I missed out on much with her constant email/phone availability. I'm proud to be her 400th wedding-- now I understand why so many brides trust their most important day in her hands.

I selected Carol due to her fabulous web site and I could not have been more thrilled. There was so much detail and effort put into the site. Hopefully a couple only get married once and the process is a foreign experience but Carol outlined the process on the web in spectacular fashion. When I spoke to her it was even better. She put us both at ease from the start of calling her to engage her services until the suggestion she made after the ceremony, which was 'take a couple minutes now because the rest of the day is going to be really crazy'. It was the best suggestion anyone gave us that day!

Carol was wonderful. She e-mailed back the same day that we contacted her, and immediately agreed to officiate at our wedding, even though it was only a month and a half's notice. We talked to her on the phone for a consultation, and she was super-friendly and helpful. She even recommended that we not do a rehearsal with her so that we would save the $50 meeting fee, because our wedding was so small (only eight guests). When we changed the time of our ceremony, she had no problem with it.
She sent us an outline of suggested vows as well as readings, and we were able to personalize the whole thing exactly as we wished. Two days before our wedding, she checked in to confirm with us.
On our wedding day, she arrived at the site early, said hello to all our family members, and went over details with us. She was extremely flexible as to the format of the wedding and where the three of us would stand, and did a beautiful job officiating--both serious and approachable. At the end she gave us a beautiful version of our marriage certificate, suitable for framing.
We highly recommend Carol. She was friendly and professional, and made our wedding perfectly intimate and personalized.

I booked Carol after viewing her website. She seemed to be a very family oriented person that just had you in mind. I was so right. I never felt 2nd to anyone; she sat with us on the phone going over every detail to make sure it was "Our Day". I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone. You will be sure to get something perfect.

Carol was an amazingly friendly and professional officiant. My wife and I were a little nervous looking for an officiant for a same sex marriage, but Carol never hesitated to make us feel comfortable. Everyone who attended our ceremony said that Carol was very nice and did a great job! She is highly recommended to anyone looking for a friendly, easy going, flexible officiant...even if you are a Yankees fan!

She is very professional but at the same time she makes you feel like you have know her your whole life and you are her best friend. She made our special day very special.

Carol also gave us a beautiful marriage certificate and a copy of the whole wedding ceremony, we thought this was a great idea and we would of never even thought about that ourselves, now we will always have a copy of our whole wedding ceremony in our photo album! Carol thought of everything!! She really made our wedding ceremony very special and I could never thank her enough!!!!!

Carol officiated our wedding ceremony in October. We cannot express how grateful we are that we chose to work with her. She made our wedding ceremony exactly what I have always dreamed! She worked with us to make the ceremony our own and tailored it to us. Everything about it was from the heart and very personal to us. I can't even tell you how many guests told me that it was one of the best ceremonies they've ever been to. Carol was down to earth and so easy to work with. It was a delight to have her as a part of our big day!

Carol was fantastic! We are huge Red Sox fans and so is she so I loved her instantly. She was sweet and helped us with anything we needed. She made our ceremony unique, which was important to us. If you do not pick Carol for your wedding you must be a Yankee fan or crazy in some other way! Thank you Carol for making our wedding perfect.

Carol was excellent!! I cannot emphasis this enough; she was really great to work with. Carol totally put me a ease on what to expect, helped with the vows, made great recommendation and suggestions. It really was a worry free day knowing that Carol had worked with our DJ before and communicated directly with the wedding coordinator @ the Hall to make sure the event went smoothly. We received a lot of compliments on the wedding service. People told us it was the best wedding service they ever attended. They said they never laugh so hard, and cried so much, the ceremony was simply beautiful and memorable. Our 8 yr old son ended up being the flower girl since we couldn't get my 2yr old niece down the aisle, our 14 yr daughter write a poem that had everyone crying and I was so memorized by the day that I didn't realize Carol was talking to me when it was my turn to say the vows. Carol, you really made the day special. Thank you!!! Rhonda and John

It was the most moving, personal, sincere, and heartfelt wedding ceremony I had ever witnessed. I really didn't expect much as it was at Fenway Park and not quite the setting a Mother wants when her "baby girl" gets married. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Nick and Julie as well as the girls are HUGE Red Sox fans and they were thrilled to be married in Fenway Park. What a lasting memory this will be for us all. I cried more looking at the pictures and remembering the words and emotion Carol put into this wedding than I did that day! It was truly awesome and I am convinced it would not have had near the meaning if done by anyone else. You have been exceptional to leave this kind of impression on the Mother of the Bride!!

I chose Carol Merletti when I went to a friend's wedding that she was officiating. Carol is the absolutely PERFECT officiant to have for your wedding. She is a friendly and sweet, timely, extremely flexible non-denominational Justice of the Peace. She made suggestions and allowed me to tweak the entire ceremony to my liking. Her professionalism bowled me over, she even called me a few days before the wedding to make sure I'd gotten my marriage license and to make sure I wasn't too nervous about anything. Not to mention that her fee is UNBELIEVABLY reasonable (the lowest I've ever seen - no gouging here!). And she was so easy to be around...I wanted to hug her!!
You can see that Carol truly loves marrying people. Even my family loved her.

We were honored to have Carole officiate our legal wedding. I found Carole after searching the internet for an officiant who would be receptive to performing a same-sex marriage. After reading an article she wrote for the Boston Globe endorsing the rights of same-sex couples, I emailed her and requested she perform our service.
Carole was outstanding. She was extremely flexible and accommodating -- from agreeing to perform the ceremony on very short notice, to providing us with a great base ceremony, to welcoming all of our modifications, to patiently waiting for our late start due to some lost family members, to ultimately performing our ceremony brilliantly. We highly recommend her to any couple looking for an enthusiastic and professional officiant.

I contacted Carol after finding her website and she is exactly as she presents herself. Warm, friendly, and excited to participate. I was planning long distance from Colorado, and Carol made a lot of helpful suggestions without showing personal preference and also made it easy to communicate everything we wanted via phone and email. Though we did not meet until the wedding day, I was already comfortable with her and her services and knew that everything would go as planned. Carol is a true professional and was a pleasure to have presiding over our ceremony. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant to make their day special.

So many of our wedding guests complimented us on Carol after the ceremony. She was professional and she made sure everyone could hear her over the planes at our outdoor ceremony (right next to Logan Airport). She also gave us a really great suggestion to make our ceremony unique and heartfelt, and we will forever be grateful to her.

Carol was beyond wonderful in officiating our wedding! We wanted a unique, special ceremony and Carol certainly delivered. She was so patient with us throughout the entire process, and was so upbeat and easy to talk to. We were able to handle all our communication and arrangements via email and phone calls, which saved us SO much time! On the wedding day Carol was so professional and well spoken, and she put so much care into getting to know us and making our day special. So many of our guests commented on just how wonderful she was! Two thumbs up- thank you Carol!

I could not ask for a better person to perform my wedding ceremony. She was professional and kind and made sure the ceremony was about the couple and not herself. She was flexible and understanding when the weather was uncooperative and was calm under a not so organized situation. I would recommend her to anyone who is committed to having a wedding all their own.

Our wedding ceremony and vows were written in a very timely manner by our officiant. We conversed over the phone and emails about any changes made to the document originally sent. This officiant was flexible, as all changes and other ideas made by me and my husband were welcomed and included in our ceremony. The officiant met with me before the ceremony to make sure everything was all set and that I knew what I was doing for each part of the ceremony. She was friendly, spoke clearly, and had a professional appearance. I would recommend her any time!

Although my wedding was small, Carol made my wedding beautiful. She also was the JP for my brother's wedding which made it that much easier to choose her. My brother had a big wedding of over 150 ppl. and I had about 11 ppl. and Carol treated both weddings equal. She was professional and made my day the happiest day of my life.

Living in Florida and planning a wedding in Boston, I found Carol on the internet and received a return phone call right away after making my information request. She not only spoke with me over the telephone at length, but made herself available for our wedding scheduled for about 2 months from my initial contact with her and met with us when we flew up to Boston a month prior to finalize our arrangements. Her professionalism was outshined only by her personal attention to my husband and me and our family. What a great touch she added to our small wedding!

Carol is wonderful! I was open to having my 'wedding' in my home, or a restaurant - but Carol invited my husband and me to her home, and performed our ceremony there under her fabulous Christmas tree. Carol was great about getting in touch with me, and was very prompt with emails and phone calls. She prepared the vows which were really beautiful. She also gave us a pretty marriage certificate to frame!
I had the chance to meet her family too. And I must say, I was honored to be married by such a genuinely nice person.

We found Carol on a Google search and we were more than pleased with her. She has a real genuine way about her. She was approachable professional, easy to work with and she helped us make decisions about what we did and did not want with our ceremony, without pushing her own opinions. We would highly recommend her.

We first heard of Carol by way of an article which appeared in one of the local papers. She had recently performed a marriage ceremony at Fenway Park. Upon reading her website we immediately agreed that Carol was the one that we wanted to officiate our marriage. Well we just can't say enough about Carol! I emailed her thru her website and received a response immediately. She was extremely flexible and accommodating, agreeing to perform the ceremony on very short notice. She went out of her way to make sure all of our needs were met and that we were comfortable. In addition to her professionalism, we found her to be very caring and sincere. Her sense of humor is wonderful! She is a blast to be around and a Red Sox fan to boot!! She made our day extra special and we will never forget her-she is the BEST!!

I highly recommend Carol's services. Carol was very organized at our prep meetings and was very flexible with our requests. We had a great dialogue in preparing our ceremony and with her guidance were able to fill in some gaps that my wife and I were struggling with. Carol's prepared format suited us perfectly and was exactly what we were looking to have for our wedding.
In addition, we had some slight changes actually about 20 minutes before our ceremony requiring us to switch ushers and brides maids. It got a little hectic and stressful. Carol was able to go with it and help organize the change which helped calm us down and allow the wedding to go off without a hitch.
If you decide to choose Carol, you will not be disappointed.

Justice Merletti is wonderful! She has so many unique wedding ideas, is young, vibrant and very funny. Everyone loved her and thought that the ceremony that she helped us to write was one of the best they ever witnessed. Just watching her smile all the time made my husband and I feel so relaxed with her. Her website is what caught our eye (www.weddingofyourdesire.com). As soon as we read through it, we knew that she was the one that we wanted to have marry us.

Mrs. Merletti was everything we could have asked for in an officiant. She worked with us to provide an excellent ceremony. We travelled to MA from Texas and she worked well with us to ensure that we had a special day. Although we did not officially meet until the day of the ceremony her correspondence with us before the wedding was enough to make us feel at ease with her. She is a true professional and anyone choosing her to perform a ceremony will not be disappointed. She's a perfect 10.
