My Philosophy
Your Story, Your Ceremony, Your Way
During my nearly two decade tenure in the Cambridge city clerk’s office, I had the distinct privilege of uniting couples in marriage — one of the greatest honors for a public servant.
Since leaving, I've continued my commitment to supporting the joyous union of couples in Massachusetts as a registered Justice of the Peace.
Your unique vision is my top priority — whether you want to include a beloved pet or any number of other personal touches, I'm dedicated to making your special day a success!
Preparing For Your Special Day
Do we need our marriage license before we reach out?
No, but be sure to plan ahead! There is a 3-day wait after applying for a marriage license, which is only valid for 60 days.
How much will it cost?
Payment for fees for your marriage certificate vary by town. Performing your ceremony in Massachusetts is a standard fee of $150.
How far in advance do I need to book?
Provided I am available and you will have your license in hand by your chosen date, please feel free to reach out anytime!
