My partner and I finally decided to elope after having been together for decades. Our plan was to show up at City Hall, sign some papers, and it would be done and dusted. I was a little disappointed to learn that that our city did not have an officiant on staff in the City Clerk's office. It turned out that lack of a an on-staff JP was the best thing that could have happened. While searching for a JP, I came across Hannah's website. Her "make it official" offering sounded like just what we were looking for. Hannah was marvelous. We had an initial consultation to nail down the where, when, and how of our ceremony. She was patient, knowledgeable, and made fantastic suggestions. The short timeframe we wanted was no problem for her. The last minute change in venue, again, no problem. She asked if we wanted any spiritual content in the ceremony, and when we said no, she was good with it. She was able to provide recommendations for a local photographer who also turned out to be awesome and just the person we needed. She patiently waited for us to finish writing our vows, printed them out for us to read to each other, and crafted the most beautiful, simple ceremony we could have hoped for. I honestly can't recommend Hannah enough. She will guide you, never push you, and truly help you create and execute what you as a couple want for your wedding day.

Miri was the perfect wedding officiant for our special day. From the very beginning, Miri's communication style was prompt, thoughtful, and reassuring. She met with us several months before the wedding to learn about us and what we were looking for in our ceremony. Miri then crafted a personalized first draft with lots of wording options for us to choose from, and she carefully pieced together our thoughts to make the ceremony bespoke and meaningful. Miri's work was truly exceptional - she was caring, kind, creative, passionate, and enthusiastic throughout the entire process. We loved the idea of including a peony watering as a symbol of our love, and Miri was so excited to incorporate that element, even selecting an amazing poem to accompany it. Additionally, Miri helped us with our vows and provided thoughtful suggestions - I felt so much more at ease reading my vows for all to hear because of Miri's feedback and support! Miri also met with us for the ceremony rehearsal, ensuring we felt prepared and confident for the big day. We are so grateful to Miri for making our wedding ceremony so memorable and special.

We feel incredibly lucky to have had Rabbi Noyo as our wedding officiant. From our very first conversation, they brought warmth, an open mind, understanding and genuine care into the entire process. They took the time to get to know us as a couple easily and conveniently. They asked us great questions and got right to the heart of who we are and how to bring that to our wedding day. They crafted a ceremony that was deeply meaningful, personal, and full of heart that really resonated with who we are individually and together. They made us feel seen and comfortable to express ourselves. Rabbi Noyo blended tradition with inclusivity of our multi faith backgrounds. Our family told us afterward how moved they were by the ceremony. We can’t recommend Rabbi Noyo highly enough.

Awarded Best of Zola
Matt did the most amazing job with our wedding ceremony. It was fun, engaging, and heartfelt—which was exactly what we wanted—and it set the tone for the rest of our day perfectly. The process with Matt was professional and organized, while also being incredibly enjoyable. He met with us well in advance to talk about what we wanted and got to know us as a couple. He then showed us a draft and did a great job of incorporating the small amount of feedback we had. It’s been several years since our wedding, yet family and friends still regularly (and unprompted) bring up our ceremony, saying that it was one of the best they’ve ever been to. Matt was the first person we hired for our wedding, and was definitely one of the best decisions we made. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a memorable day that feels personal and unique to you.

If Chris is available on your big day, look no further and just book him. We were so unsure of where to turn as we are not religious so we didn't have a preacher but also didn't have any family or friends we could visualize to do our ceremony, which so many people do now (Hire the pro!). I'm so so glad we found him! Chris is great because he does a great non-religious ceremony, under 30 minutes (what we wanted), and is so engaging, funny and easy to work with. Our guests loved our ceremony so much and wondered how we knew him (spoiler alert: we didn't know each other before we booked him for our wedding) because he made our ceremony so personal and told our beautiful love story so masterfully. After speaking with Chris my now husband and I both immediately wanted to move forward with him. After booking we got a somewhat long questionnaire, parts were for both of us to fill out together and we each had other parts that we filled out individually telling our version of our love story in our own words which made for a quite fun ceremony. While the questionnaire was long it was necessary to have the personalized ceremony we both wanted. We were able to meet with him in person when he was in Cincinnati, he also works in NYC, for another wedding and he is such a joy to be around. Once he was done with our ceremony he sent us a draft and we made a few small adjustments but it was PERFECT. Chris also ran our rehearsal and he did amazing organizing everyone and making sure that people knew what they needed to do. The ceremony couldn't have been more perfect on our wedding day, he has great timing, he is funny, engaging and had about 75% of our guests crying by the end. The video of our ceremony gets me misty every time. Thank you again Chris!

Cole was creative and helped us shape a ceremony that felt truly personal. He offered thoughtful suggestions for our script and even guided us on attire options; whether a formal suit or an officiant robe.

Anna Brooke is a wedding officiant, author, and healing arts practitioner based in Midcoast Maine. She offers vow renewals, premarital counseling, and is available for local and destination weddings. Fluent in English and French, Anna honors all paths with a warm, open-hearted approach.

Anna is a truly wonderful, warm, calm presence, and guided us through the entire process with gentle mastery. It's difficult to express the amount of gratitude we feel for the care she took with every step. The serenity and euphoria we experienced that day were in large part because of her prep work, which helped us to shape everything we didn't even know we wanted in the ceremony. She made everything extremely clear and simple. She is a fantastic listener, very creative, and is the unique person who can both provide ideas when necessary, and gives you space to unfurl your own. She is a ton of fun in person and an exemplary officiant and guest, as well as incredibly prepared for anything! She also has the most gracious and gently powerful essence. Just the most supportive, serene human which is so important on such an important and potentially stressful day. Cannot imagine having the ceremony and celebration without her, cannot recommend her enough! She will infuse your process and ceremony with loveliness and joy. She's an absolute angel.
