Wedding Officiants in New London, CT

Congratulations! I have been a Justice of the Peace and an Ordained Wedding Officiant for over 25 years. In that time I have been honored to have performed ceremonies from the hills of Vermont to the mountains of Virginia. I am also very proud of the fact that I am the Officiant of choice for a number of specific Wedding venues, Caterers and for many Wedding Planners including The Ocean House and Weekapaug Inn in Rhode Island, The Waters Edge in Westbrook. and Harkness Park. Along with large Formal affairs I have also been honored to have performed intimate ceremonies with just The Bride and Groom. On a boat, on a train, on the beach, in a Church (I'm credentialed to do that too) and even on a mountain top, I work to make my couples day very special. I would be happy to send you a copy of the ceremony that I use. Please understand that there is no pride of authorship so you are free to modify it to your hearts content. It is your day and your fiancees day, not mine, and your ceremony should reflect that in every way. My fee is all inclusive and covers everything from our initial conversations, meetings together, our conversations and my filing your license after the ceremony. Once again, congratulations and thank you for your consideration. I'm very proud of the reviews I've received. As I said, it’s your day, let’s make it special. Confirming to the Bride and Groom that their ceremony will be everything they wanted it to be and more and the I am not part of their day they will have to worry about.
