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!

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

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.

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!

We could not have asked for a better officiant for our wedding. From the very beginning, Chelsea took the time to meet us in person and truly get to know our story. After that, she crafted a beautiful ceremony personalized to us, and was patient and receptive to our (very minimal) feedback, making the whole process easy and stress-free. Her professionalism was clear through every step of the process- in her communications, her outfits/appearance, and in how she facilitated our rehearsal, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and prepared. On the wedding day, she delivered our ceremony with confidence, care, and conviction—it was heartfelt, sincere, funny, and everything we ever hoped it would be. We’ve received countless compliments from our guests saying it was the best ceremony they’ve ever attended, which is a true testament to Chelsea’s talent. If you’re looking for an officiant who will go above and beyond to make your day unforgettable, we can’t recommend Chelsea enough!

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.
