Awarded Best of Zola
When my now husband and I got engaged, we knew immediately we wanted to work with Hannah. I am a wedding planner, and having worked with Hannah on other couple's weddings I saw what a tremendous energy, calm, and spirit she brought to their day. We wanted our ceremony to be the focus in planning our wedding and to work with someone who could guide and support us towards that end. Working with Hannah was amazing. My husband and I always felt calm, supported, and understood. She took the time to get to know us as people and our learn about our dreams for our wedding and marriage. She wove all the themes of our story and what we wanted to convey to our guests into a cohesive and beautiful ceremony. She gave us guidance on writing our own vows and on how to incorporate different traditions and rituals. On the day I truly felt like she held us through every step of the process. She was a calming and grounding force. Hannah is also an incredible speaker - funny, emotional, present. I cannot recommend Hannah enough, and I encourage all my couples to hire her. Investing in your ceremony is one of the most worthwhile investments you can make in your wedding day, and will provide memories you will treasure for life!

I take pride in the fact that I’m a connector and listener. I love getting to know people and learning and helping to share their stories.

Through thoughtful questions and deep conversations, we'll collaborate on crafting your one-of-a-kind wedding ceremony!

Awarded Best of Zola
We were going back and forth between having a family member or a professional officiate, and we eventually landed on Miriam. It truly felt like the best of both worlds because it feels as though we made a new friend in her. Miriam has such an warmth about her, and you can tell that they truly love connecting with couples to make each ceremony perfectly "them." They listened to all our ideas and created a ceremony that was so unique to us and full of little personal details. Miriam also coordinated and ran our rehearsal, which made the logistics feel so easy. On our wedding day (and even days after!), so many of our guests came up to us to say how beautiful the ceremony was and how much they loved it. We cannot recommend Miriam enough!

Clergy for modern couples who want a ceremony that feels personal, meaningful, and emotionally unforgettable. As an ordained interfaith minister, holistic somatic practitioner, I bring a unique blend of ceremony, emotional presence, spiritual inclusivity, and calming support to your wedding day. I serve couples who may not want a traditional religious ceremony, but still want the moment to feel sacred, intentional, warm and deeply connected. I create ceremonies that honor your love story, your values, your energy, and the emotional experience you want to share with your guests. My approach is modern, inclusive, heartfelt, and grounded.

Reverend Julie is a truly amazing wedding officiant and will provide you with the sweetest service and insightful guidance in building a ceremony to last you forever. We were traveling across country to our wedding location, so all of our planning time with Julie was done remotely over phone or video call - and she was always so accommodating and helpful in this process. As a largely secular couple, we didn’t have a lot of presumptions or direction for what our wedding ceremony could or should be - and Julie was an excellent guide and gave great structure to helping us find our way in that space. She made excellent and insightful suggestions about what we may want to include or subjects she would speak to - and in the end she provided us with the most amazing ceremony, catered exactly to our own needs and personalities and we are so grateful for having chosen Julie to do this service for us. We will never forget it. We highly, highly recommend Reverend Julie for any service, to celebrate a special day in your love or life.

Justice of the Peace/Officiant 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)

I have been a Justice of the Peace for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Have had the honor and privilege of officiating for over 1050 ceremonies in MA alone. I have also officiate in CO, ME, NH, FL, CT and RI, as a member of the clergy.

Mike was an absolute gem to work with. From the beginning, he was interested in learning about who my partner and I are as people before even getting to what we wanted in our wedding. He is kind, down-to-earth, and incredibly knowledgeable, and he brought both his experience and a great sense of humor to the planning process. We genuinely enjoyed working with him. He listened to our hopes, addressed our concerns appropriately, and was very accepting and flexible. The binder he provided was comprehensive and helped us tailor the ceremony to what fit us best, and Mike helped us make adjustments accordingly. On the big day, Mike brought a calm and confident presence and delivered our ceremony beautifully. He’s very good at reading the energy of the audience and putting people at ease when he senses that they need it. As an anxious and emotional bride myself, that was invaluable to me. He was also very personable with our friends and families and made sure that we were happy and all set after the ceremony. We cannot recommend Mike highly enough- he will be there for you every step of the way!

  • Offers 7 ceremony types
  • Serves Chester, MA for additional fees

Most couples who work with me take their relationship seriously, but don't take themselves too seriously. They're educated, do Wordle, read the NY Times and have a healthy sense of reality. Since 2011, I've been writing and performing personal, meaningful and refreshingly engaging ceremonies. Couples work with me in an easy, collaborative way. I take guest experience and your wishes very seriously. I have the ability to command a room, a writer's knack for shaping a story, an emcee's sense of timing, and experience at the most prestigious venues. My BFA in Acting (Boston University) and MFA in Creative Writing (NYU) serve me well.

Awarded Best of Zola
Chris was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Not only did he make the entire process smooth, it stimulated discussions about old memories between my husband and I that brought us back 10 years! Luckily, 2 of our best friends had used Chris as their officiant before our wedding 3 years prior and when we got engaged, he was the first vendor to come to our minds! He made us and our guests laugh throughout the ceremony with some quick witted humor, reminded us of what it means to move through this new chapter as a married couple, but also brought such ease on a chaotic day! Our guests were raving about him which just re-iterated that it was our best decision as we planned the wedding. Chris even did a special shoutout to my family out of state who couldn’t make the wedding which made it even more special for us. Hands down, Illuminating Ceremonies with Christopher Shelley will not disappoint.

She thinks of every small element that adds to the ceremony and to your day. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant.

Rabbi Nikki LLC 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Offers 10 ceremony types

  • Serves Chester, MA for additional fees

I am Rabbi Nikki DeBlosi (she/her) (BA, MA, PhD). It is my passion and privilege to connect folks to the breadth and depth of Jewish tradition through inclusive, innovative, and insightful Jewish ritual. A tattooed, polyamorous, queer, suburban, stay-at-home parent, I was raised Catholic and converted to Judaism as an adult. I approach my work nonjudgmentally, and I know too many of us carry religious trauma. I want to make sure your wedding feels meaningful, relevant, and affirming. I'm an avid reader (especially romance), a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, & a choral singer.

We had the privilege of working with Rabbi Nikki for our interfaith wedding ceremony, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Nikki was organized and thoughtful about helping us structure a ceremony that felt true to both of our backgrounds while remaining accessible to all our guests. What really stood out was how she brought calm to the chaos leading up to the big day—she had prepared for every possible scenario so we felt completely covered no matter what happened. Nikki has a commanding presence and a beautiful voice that kept everyone engaged throughout the ceremony, and she made Judaism come alive for our non-Jewish family members in such a meaningful way that several of them said they only want to attend Jewish weddings from now on. Her collaborative approach meant we were true partners in creating something deeply personalized and insightful that reflected who we are as a couple. We're grateful for her guidance and creativity in making our day unforgettable!
