Your Wedding Day
As a Justice of the Peace, it is my honor to be able to officiate weddings. At my office, in my garden, or a location of your preference, I can perform a personalized wedding ceremony catered to you. Whether you prefer a small intimate wedding or large formal wedding, I want to be a part of making your day exactly what you envision.
I’m also happy to provide vow renewal and commitment ceremonies! No marriage license is required. A keepsake certificate is provided. Please ask for more information!
Since I took office on January 1st, 2021, I’ve officiated over 125 ceremonies! I can’t wait to be a part of your story!
