VaVow Cermemonies

Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)

“From our first conversation with Steven at VaVow Ceremonies, we knew we had made the right choice. He was incredibly easy to reach and worked with us every step of the way to make sure our ceremony felt true to who we are as a couple. Steven has a gift for bringing people together, and the whole process felt like a friend was helping us rather than just an officiant doing his job. He created a seamless day filled with joy and love that our guests still talk about. His personable approach and attention to detail made our special day feel authentic and meaningful. We couldn't recommend Steven and VaVow Ceremonies highly enough for any couple looking for an officiant who genuinely cares.”

As the owner and lead officiant for VaVow Ceremonies, Steve is the heart and voice behind the memorable ceremonies. For him, being an officiant is much more than just reading a script and signing a marriage license—it is the profound honor of standing beside two people as they make the ultimate promise to one another. Because every love story is completely unique, Steve believes every wedding ceremony should reflect that individuality perfectly. Steve's passion lies in taking the time to truly get to know each couple—their quirks, their shared laughter, their values, and the quiet moments that built their foundation.

Witchy Woman Weddings

Rating: 5.0 (54 reviews)

“I very recently got married, and the planning leading up to the wedding went so smoothly and so quickly! Venue, florals, photography- things got checked off our list with relative ease. Then we got a bit stuck- we needed an officiant! It can seem like a simple pick, but if you don’t want to have a friend or family get ordained, and you’re not a member of a traditional religion, it can be a harder match to make. But then, we found Tara at Witchy Woman Weddings and reached out immediately. We’re so glad we did!! Inquiry was simple and responses were fast. We only spoke through email leading up to the day itself, but Tara does have the option to book meetings if you’d prefer some face-to-face contact in the lead up to your big day. She has such a peaceful and warm presence that, even if you’re meeting her for the first time at the altar for the ceremony as I did, you feel that calm and kind energy emanating towards you. The process for creating your ceremony script is both easy and personalized- Tara has an in-depth questionnaire to fill out that covers a wide range of topics so she can tailor the ceremony to your unique story and the vibe you’re aiming to create. It really covers all the bases but doesn’t feel daunting to complete. After that, she delivers a sample script and makes sure to note that edits can be made if there is anything you want changed- we didn’t make a single change to ours! We got emotional just reading through our draft and were amazed at how she captured us in the writing. To sum all this up, I am beyond grateful to have found Tara. She was the perfect person to join us together, mixing elements of both the traditional and the not-so-traditional on our Friday the 13th wedding. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a truly special, unique, and heartfelt ceremony. At the risk of sounding a little cheesy, she truly helped make our day a magical one!”

The Marrying Jane

Rating: 5.0 (46 reviews)

“We could not have asked for a better officiant for our wedding. From the very beginning, Chelsea took the time to meet us in person and truly get to know our story. After that, she crafted a beautiful ceremony personalized to us, and was patient and receptive to our (very minimal) feedback, making the whole process easy and stress-free. Her professionalism was clear through every step of the process- in her communications, her outfits/appearance, and in how she facilitated our rehearsal, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and prepared. On the wedding day, she delivered our ceremony with confidence, care, and conviction—it was heartfelt, sincere, funny, and everything we ever hoped it would be. We’ve received countless compliments from our guests saying it was the best ceremony they’ve ever attended, which is a true testament to Chelsea’s talent. If you’re looking for an officiant who will go above and beyond to make your day unforgettable, we can’t recommend Chelsea enough!”

Rabbi Noyo - Officiant

Rating: 5.0 (31 reviews)

“We are truly so appreciative of Rabbi Noyo and her helping to bring our wedding ceremony to fruition - blending the religious faiths of myself and my wife in a way that was respectful, creative, and sincerely reflected our personal values. During the ceremony itself, she was quick to save the day when our lapel microphones unexpectedly stopped working and she swooped in with a handheld mic that had been stationed elsewhere for readers during our ceremony. She was open and accommodating to co-officiate with my wife's pastor and met with both him and ourselves many times in the year leading up to the wedding. I am so glad she was part of our wedding!”

Christine Landry Justice of the Peace/Ordained Minister/Notary

Rating: 5.0 (24 reviews)

“Christine was wonderful to work with. From the first call we had you could tell this is a passion for her. Between our zoom calls and emails she was easy to get ahold of and was happy to answer any questions we had. To ensure we had a ceremony that was true to who we are as a couple, she shared an example of a ceremony script she’d just done and then asked us to provide her with our love story and what we like about each other. From there she took this information and wove it into a beautiful ceremony that was personalized, paid tribute to our moms, had a little humor in it and most importantly felt natural. We were able to collaborate after she put together the first draft for any changes. On the day of she arrived early making sure everything was all set and the ceremony would go off without a hitch. I would highly recommend using Christine if you’re looking for a professional JP who really cares about what she does.”

“Rev. Laurel was incredible during the planning of our ceremony, and the day of. She assisted us in building an order of service from start to finish, with really great suggestions and outlines. She was so communicative leading up to the wedding with all the little questions and details. On the day of the wedding, my (now) husband and I were a bit jittery with adrenaline and nerves. She was incredibly calm and left us feeling so peaceful and at ease in her care at the altar. She was so on top of everything from the rehearsal to the inevitable bit of chaos on the wedding day, we are so unbelievably grateful and appreciative of her, and so happy we found her in Newburyport!”
