Hope Family Counseling is a private practice that helps individuals and couples work through life's challenges to reach the goals that they desire for themselves and/or their family. Monica has been an officiant since 2018. In 2020, she began incorporating premarital counseling with officiant services. After navigating many couples in clinical counseling practice, Monica realized the importance of not only premarital but additional post marital counseling to help with the first year marriage transition. Now in 2025, Monica has decided to expand her services to a greater population to help more couples get the complete support they may need.

We were so fortunate to have Monica from Hope Family Counseling officiate our vow renewal ceremony. Her warm, clear, and thoughtful communication style put us at ease from the very beginning. Monica took the time to get to know us as a couple, crafting a heartfelt and intentional ceremony that was truly memorable and meaningful. Her elegant words during the ceremony brought everyone to tears, perfectly capturing our love and 10-year journey together. We are incredibly grateful for Monica's presence and care, and we highly recommend her to any couple looking for a meaningful and unforgettable celebration.

Donna Katsuranis, our wedding officiant, was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the start, her down-to-earth communication style put us at ease and made planning the ceremony a breeze. Donna was always open to our ideas and also provided great suggestions to help us add personal touches that made the day even more special. On the day of, she thoughtfully wore a dress that matched our wedding colors, which was a nice detail. Donna also gave us plenty of guidance before and during the ceremony, which was especially helpful since I was a little nervous standing up in front of everyone. But her calming presence allowed me to focus on the moment and our vows. Donna's easy-going nature and commitment to making our wedding day perfect is something we'll always be grateful for.

Rabbi Noyo (Rabbi Sarah Noyovitz) is a warm, inclusive, and creative officiant based in Boston, MA. She crafts meaningful, personalized wedding ceremonies for couples of all backgrounds - Jewish, interfaith, non-religious, queer, poly, and beyond. Whether you want something simple or symbolic, she will collaborate with you to make it feel deeply “you.” She brings care, clarity, and joy to every celebration and believes your love deserves to be honored with intention.

Awarded Best of Zola
Rabbi Noyo is the best! Hire her now. More context: We hired Rabbi Noyo to officiate our interfaith wedding in September 2024. We wanted to add some jewish elements to our wedding but did not know what our options were beyond breaking the glass and the Chuppah. Rabbi Noyo was understanding and patient with us - she took the time to really get to know me and now husband, our history, what we love about one another, etc. She also encouraged us to have important, difficult conversations leading up to the wedding, which she cleverly coined as 'pillow talk'. This helped strengthen our bond and us feel completely secure and ready for our upcoming nuptials. In additional to these sessions, Rabbi Noyo also took the time to explain the various elements that could be incorporated leading up to and during the ceremony, the significance behind them, and even provided information on where to learn more/buy items. She never pressured us or made us feel badly for skipping ceremony components and even provided alternative language for blessings that felt more like us. She also provided input on our program, reviewed our vows, and even had printed copies ready for us during the ceremony. Rabbi Noyo made our wedding ceremony truly perfect. Her words during the ceremony were BEAUTIFUL, heartfelt, and funny. She knew the little things that mattered (including setting expectations ahead of the ceremony, moving to the side for the kiss, etc.) and helped everyone feel so comfortable. She gave clear instructions to the guests and helped make sure that the special moments worked seamlessly. She encouraged our love to shine through and facilitated an absolutely gorgeous ceremony. Our guests are even still talking about how amazing the Rabbi was and asking where to find her. Rabbi Noyo made our wedding exactly the way we wanted it to be, and I know she will do the same for you. Hire her! You will not regret it :)

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

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!

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.

I love working on weddings—a unique moment in couples' lives that I get to be a part of and help immortalize alongside them. Language often becomes a barrier, which is why I offer my services in Portuguese, English, and Spanish.

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.

Our 2008 marriage ceremony was the best I’ve ever attended (I may be biased). My partner and I created a humorous and meaningful service that fit us perfectly. I want to be able to do the same for you. I am a social worker who is good at highlighting relationships and connections. I’m an attentive listener, and I promise you won’t feel like you’re in a therapy session when we work together. Unless you totally love therapy, in which case, sure, I’ll use my therapist voice. Social workers aren’t usually associated with humor, but I assure you, I am hilarious. I'm also calm, organized, thoughtful & fun.

Josie officiated our wedding in August 2024 and we can’t recommend her enough! She was very personable from the first call, and the ceremony she wrote for us captured our personality and relationship perfectly - humorous, but with our relationship on full display. We had multiple people come up to us telling us it was one of the best ceremonies they’ve experienced! She also handled the paperwork side of things swiftly and easily. Look no further than Josie!

Your wedding is a celebration of where you have been, of the extraordinary day, and of your future together.

I’m excited for you, and I hope if you're planning a Long Island or New York City wedding, that I can be a part of your very special day. I like to describe myself as a somewhat old-fashioned, minister – someone warm, helpful, caring, and professional. Not somebody weird. I usually meet with you to get acquainted and develop important chemistry – and to discuss all the details so that we avoid any unpleasant wedding day surprises! The content and style of your ceremony is shaped by who you are and what you want. We discuss all the details so you know what to expect, and I know what to do. It's your day. Let’s make it great!

Pastor Bill was an excellent officiant at our wedding, and we are so happy we asked him to officiate our ceremony. Soon after contacting him, he asked us to sit down for a video call so we could get to know each other. After learning a bit about his background, his outlook on religion and spirituality, and his general style as an officiant, we thought he was a great fit for us. Once we agreed to have him as our officiant, Bill gave us an overview of a sample ceremony with many options ranging from very religious to very casual, including options for personal vows and cultural traditions. He was totally willing to help us craft a ceremony that felt authentic to us, and provided very helpful feedback and advice on our draft until it was perfect. On the wedding day, Bill arrived at the venue with time to spare. He was well versed in the process of signing the marriage license and walked us through it. At the ceremony, he spoke loudly, clearly, and with a warm expression. And he stayed for the cocktail hour and spoke with some of our guests, who all told us they enjoyed his conversation. Many thanks again to Pastor Bill, and we hope this serves as our highest endorsement!
