Awarded Best of Zola
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!

I’m Christine Landry — Justice of the Peace, ordained minister, and notary. I’ve spent more than 30 years in the wedding industry supporting couples on the most meaningful day of their lives, and for the past two terms I’ve had the honor of serving as a wedding officiant.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Rabbi Jamie Field was ordained in 2024 from HUC-JIR in New York. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, Jamie left the West Coast after high school to attend Boston University, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Religion. She loves creating the perfect wedding ceremony that ties together the stories of the couple with the offerings of the Jewish tradition. In her free time, she enjoys watching Jeopardy, looking for antiques, and perfecting her challah recipe.

Rabbi Jamie officiated our wedding, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. What stood out most was the level of organization and professionalism. Every detail of the ceremony was planned and coordinated with care, so nothing felt left to chance. Rabbi Jamie was very intentional about creating several checkpoints throughout the process and communicating every step of the way. But beyond the logistics, Rabbi Jamie took real time to understand what Mariel and I wanted and needed, and brought a genuine empathy that made the ceremony feel deeply personal. That thoughtfulness and attentiveness made all the difference on our day. Our families still talk about how beautiful the ceremony was! Highly recommend for anyone looking for an officiant who combines skill with real heart.

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.

Steven was terrific! From start to finish he was helpful with any questions we had and gave us amble information for the various steps in the wedding process. He did a great job getting to knowing us and expressing our love story which all our guests raved about.

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.
