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!

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!

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.

The Marrying Jane

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 another talented officiant on my team, Ren, doubling our availability!

Chelsea absolutely CRUSHED IT!! So many people came up to us and told us how professional and poised she was and how they loved the ceremony. Chelsea is an excellent officiant and an even better person. I was in a panic 2.5 weeks before the wedding when two different plans for officiants fell through. The Marrying Jane was on the recommended vendors list at The Red Barn at Outlook Farm; and when I reached out to ask if they could help, Chelsea responded that night and turned everything around. Chelsea wrote a custom ceremony, helped us with all the paperwork, and truly saved the day! I am endlessly grateful and can only hope that other couples find her at the beginning of their wedding planning journeys!

Hannah's process is supportive and stress-free, helping couples plan their ceremony as well as deepen the connection that brings them to marriage.

Awarded Best of Zola
When it came to choosing an officiant my husband and I were kind of at a loss: we'd decided we wanted to ask someone outside of our immediate friends and family circle, someone who had a relationship to ceremony and spirituality that would work closely with us and meet us where we were at. Perhaps, like us, you've found Hannah Grace by a Google search. Look no further! She was the very first person who came up for us, and her impeccable reviews seemed almost too good to be true. It isn't so! Now we know there's a reason why she's THE go-to officiant in the Pioneer Valley/Berkshires radius: she's absolutely one of a kind. Thoughtful, intuitive, patient, organized, flexible -- there aren't enough words to encapsulate Hannah's work. She held our hand gently through the process while also giving us a boost of energy whenever we needed it. She is a beautiful writer with a wonderful ability to narrativize a couple's journey, intentions, and wishes. She helped us build unforgettable experiences within our ceremony that carried us and our guests through this most meaningful of moments. We are forever grateful to Hannah and all she does to help couples' dreams come true.

Emelia guided us seamlessly through the entire process, offering thoughtful suggestions to improve our vows (while respecting our voices), and helped us customize what we wanted featured in her remarks (poems, stories, anecdotes, humor, religious readings, etc.).

I have officiated as an Independent Catholic priest for 15 years. I travel throughout Massachusetts and surrounding states. I work with couples to personalize the ceremony using the Catholic ceremony outline as a framework

Fr. Jim was great! He welcomed us into his home and went over the entire process for officiating our wedding. His knowledge and experience in the industry made for an ideal ceremony crafted just for us. He was prompt and responsive in the weeks leading up to the event. On the day of the ceremony, he adapted to the weather and a few distractions so that we could have a beautiful moment. He also found ways to display his personality and experience while officiating while respecting our vision for the day. Our engaged friends were even coming up to us after the wedding asking for his contact info so he could preside over their upcoming weddings. We definitely recommend his services.

We cannot recommend Miriam highly enough! She was kind and caring, professional, and extremely good at her job, for a very decent price. She helped our wedding go so smoothly and we are so incredibly grateful she was part of our special day! Our photographer heard we were looking for an officiant for our wedding, and passed along Miriam’s information. From the moment we connected with her, we felt her warm and friendly energy and felt totally at ease about planning our wedding ceremony! Before we met Miriam, we were not really sure what we wanted our wedding to be, but we did know we wanted it to be written by us, and as a queer couple we did not want a “traditional” wedding. It started off feeling overwhelming with so many details to plan overall, but as soon as we met with Miriam, we felt completely at ease and even excited about the process! We threw out some ideas that wove in our New Age/paganistic spiritual beliefs, and Miriam reached out to her pagan priestess friend and did a deep dive researching for our ceremony and coming back to us with so many wonderful ideas. She thoughtfully and creatively wove all the important elements we hoped for into a beautiful ceremony, down to every detail. She was open to our ideas, and supportive through every step of the way, right up until we were there in the moment getting married, and even after the ceremony. She helped make our wedding so special, and we got so many compliments on how “us” our ceremony was and what a great job Miriam did. 100/10, would recommend, do yourself a favor and take this as your sign to book with her!

From start to finish, working with Cole Pirelli was such a thoughtful and collaborative experience. The questions he asked helped us reflect on our relationship in ways we hadn’t before, and those insights became the heart of our ceremony. Every detail felt intentional and personal; nothing was cookie-cutter about it. On our wedding day, the ceremony was warm, emotional, and perfectly us. We felt completely seen, supported, and celebrated.
