Cole was incredibly responsive throughout the planning process—she answered every email, call, and text promptly, which made the whole experience stress-free. On our wedding day, her humor and kindness shone through as she guided us through our vows with such warmth and joy.

Stop scrolling! You found us! My name is Chelsea. I am a New England based wedding officiant who writes and performs custom ceremonies for weddings and elopements. I believe every couple deserves to feel guided by a seasoned professional on their wedding day. I also believe your officiant should feel like a natural part of the day. Warm, familiar, and completely at home within the celebration of your story. My goal is to fit seamlessly into each wedding, sharing your love story with clarity, romance, and just the right amount of humor for the people who matter most. I have two other talented officiants on my team, Ren and Connor, increasing our wedding season availability!

“I've dreamt of my wedding day for years, and thanks to The Marrying Jane (Chelsea), our ceremony was even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Hiring her was, without a doubt, one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Chelsea is the perfect blend of professional, kind, thoughtful, and intentional. She truly took the time to get to know us, and that dedication shone through in every word of the ceremony. We had countless family members and friends ask us if she was a close friend of ours because of how deeply personal the ceremony felt. Everyone complimented her delivery and the beautiful atmosphere she created. Some of the highest praise, though, came from my grandpa. He was initially skeptical of a non-church ceremony, but he was completely pleased with Chelsea's ability to make our ceremony feel rooted in faith and deeply meaningful. If you are looking for an officiant who will elevate your ceremony, bring a calm and professional presence, and craft a personal story that connects with everyone in the room, book The Marrying Jane immediately. We can't recommend this fantastic, small, local to New England business enough! Thank you, so much, Chelsea.”

Awarded Best of Zola
“As a mixed-faith couple seeking an egalitarian Jewish wedding ceremony, we were initially drawn to Rabbi Noyo for her remarkable flexibility and inclusiveness. We really couldn't have been happier with our choice! From the start, Rabbi Noyo made a great effort to get to know us, taking the time to understand our backgrounds, values, and desires for the ceremony. She dedicated an impressive amount of time guiding us through pre-marriage activities (e.g. "life topics" for us to discuss) and detailing the array of possible traditions we might consider integrating into the ceremony -- including both their traditional and more modern/egalitarian variants. It was truly a learning experience working with her! As an officiant, Rabbi Noyo struck a great balance between making the ceremony personable yet traditional, religious yet inclusive. Overall, she was really fabulous to work with, and we couldn't recommend her more highly!”

I'm Rev. Lauri, a Connecticut wedding officiant based in Hamden, serving New Haven and surrounding areas. I write every ceremony from scratch, after a few conversations with you so the words sound like you, not a template. I work with spiritual couples, interfaith couples, same-sex couples, and blended families. Intimate elopements, backyard weddings, barns, castles, all of it. If you're in a hurry, I can help: I've written full ceremonies with just days to spare. You'll see every draft and can revise as much as you need. I also assist with vows, and I can bring in rituals like handfasting, a ring blessing, or a surprise where I share something private each of you said about the other.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Lauri was fantastic to work with and we are so grateful we found her. She was a caring a nurturing presence throughout, was very receptive to our requested changes as we planned the ceremony script, and was clearly motivated by doing what would be right for us. She met with me and my fiance about four times during our wedding planning process to get to know us and modify our ceremony plan/script to what spoke most to us most as a couple. She was knowledgable about a variety of cultural traditions and helped us incorporate the Irish Hand Fasting Blessing into our ceremony, providing us with an everlasting, unique memory and memento (the handfasting chord) of our promises to each other. We received several compliments from our wedding guests about Lauri's ease and professionalism while she officiated our wedding. We highly recommend her! - Tess, May 2025 Bride, Bill Miller's Castle”

“David was absolutely amazing, and we truly could not have had a better experience. We did not start looking for officiants as early as the other vendors, and I was feeling a bit stressed about it, but David made the process as easy and seamless as possible. He worked with us leading up to the event to make sure that the ceremony felt like us and was happy to make any adjustments we wanted even right up to the event. We really appreciated that we could be as much or little involved in the details of the ceremony as we wanted. The ceremony was beautiful - not only did we think David was amazing, but we got so many compliments from our guests as well (and he also took care of all the paperwork which was very much appreciated so we could focus on all the other important things). We feel so fortunate that we chose to work with David for our wedding - could not recommend him enough.”

“We also had Love & Laughter Weddings officiate our ceremony, in addition to having them be our full planners for our multi day destination wedding and I truly couldn’t imagine our wedding without them. From the start, they made the ceremony process feel so personal and intentional. They took the time to learn about our story, what mattered most to us, and the kind of atmosphere we wanted our ceremony to have. We really didn’t want something that felt generic or scripted, and they created a ceremony that felt completely authentic to us. It was heartfelt, warm, and perfectly balanced... emotional in all the right moments but still light and joyful. Several of our guests told us afterward that it was one of the most meaningful ceremonies they had attended and asked if we were longtime friends because of how personal and meaningful it felt. On the wedding day everything felt calm and natural. Our officiant guided us through the ceremony with such warmth and confidence that it immediately put us at ease. Standing there in that moment felt incredibly special and we’re so grateful for how beautifully they helped bring it all together. They also handled all the legal paperwork and made that part of the process completely stress free, which was such a relief during such a busy time. If you’re looking for an officiant who will truly take the time to make your ceremony feel personal and memorable, I can’t recommend Love & Laughter Weddings enough!

“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.”

“From the moment we met Ope, the wedding officiant from Meet Me At The Altar Wedding Services, she was bubbly and easy to talk to. She made sure to listen to both of us and bring out our vows in a way we couldn't have imagined. Ope was punctual, detailed-oriented, and truly cared about making our special day perfect. She took charge of the whole rehearsal, ensuring all the guys were listening, and came early to check on us before the ceremony. Ope's communication was top-notch - she was always on time and best at keeping us informed throughout the process. We're so glad we chose Meet Me At The Altar Wedding Services and highly recommend Ope to any couple looking for a professional, caring officiant.”

“Our wedding day wouldn’t be possible without Reem. Not only was she kind, compassionate, and flexible, but she was an excellent problem solver who handled an entire venue change with 24 hours notice. The day before our wedding our reception venue cancelled on us and Reem really stepped up and saved the day. She handled the venue change, coordinated with multiple vendors, all while making sure our ceremony went smoothly. She and her assistant dealt with every issue with a smile on their faces and ensured that my husband and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Anyone would be lucky to have Reem in their corner for their event.”
