About this vendor
Welcome!
Whether you are planning a celebration in advance, eloping, want to renew your vows, or just want to "make it legal," you deserve an officiant who will take the time to craft a ceremony that suits your style and, most importantly, helps to make your ceremony unforgettable.
I appreciate weddings of all kinds -- traditional, unconventional, humorous, serious, planned down to the detail, or spur of the moment. It is your day...anything goes. At the end of the day, it is your love for each other that matters most.
I embrace all marriages with absolute equality. I am honored to unite any and all couples in love.
I am a lifelong resident of Massachusetts and am honored to be a Justice of the Peace. The first wedding I ever officiated was that of my sister and, right away, I knew it was something I wanted more of. I have felt truly fortunate to be a part of a couple's most important day. My passion for performance and creative writing, and my strict sense of responsibility, make me a Justice that a couple can feel comfortable choosing.
I have been an educator of Deaf/Hard of Hearing children for almost 20 years years and am fluent in American Sign Language. I am nationally certified ASL/English Interpreter. I have officiated weddings, large and small, for Deaf couples in ASL or signed supported English, depending on personal language preference.

Claire is the best! She is so sweet and you can tell she cares about the couples she works with. She's very resourceful and will answer any questions about the legal process. She provides a lot of great ideas if you aren't sure about your vows, readings, ring exchanges, etc. She put together such a beautiful ceremony for us with the options we chose from her lists, small custom requests, and the information we provided on a questionnaire she sent us to fill out. It all flowed together perfectly and it felt like she was telling our story as an old friend. I can't recommend her enough.
Claire made our ceremony absolutely perfect! We only met Claire once via Zoom prior to the wedding and I had sent her a couple of readings and a little about our lives. She smoothly and seamlessly brought together everything making sure to include our grown children names as we are a blended family. Not that I thought this would have been important but she is a great orator and speaks beautifully and calmly being sure to look at you so you don’t forget what you are supposed to be doing or saying at the moment. Everyone at the wedding thought the ceremony was just amazing!
Hire Claire! She was so wonderful to work with - from the first video call, it was clear she was the person to hire! She is approachable, easy-going, and super organized. She kept us on top of everything we needed to do to help her write us the best ceremony and everything we needed to do to actually get married. Everyone at our wedding kept asking how we found her and if she was a friend! We received so many compliments on the custom ceremony that she wrote for us. It was a beautiful ceremony and neither of us (nor most of the guests) got away without happy tears thanks to Claire's beautiful writing. Thank you, Claire, for everything!!
We cannot say enough great things about Claire! From the moment we spoke with her we felt very comfortable and knew she would be easy to work with. Claire took her time getting to know us and asked thoughtful questions about our relationship to create a personalized ceremony that truly reflected us a couple. Throughout the ceremony Claire was a calming and reassuring presence while helping us stay completely focused on each other. She told the story of our first date among other details we shared with her and struck the perfect balance of humor and emotion, weaving together a ceremony that was both touching and memorable. We feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with Claire and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant who will create a beautiful and meaningful ceremony!
If you are looking for a JP - Claire is it! One week later, and family and friends are still raving about our ceremony. People could not believe that Claire wasn't an old friend of ours - that's how personal and intimate our ceremony was. In addition to creating a beautiful ceremony, Claire was extremely professional, patient, kind and easy to work with. Her calm demeanor also helped us relax during our rehearsal and up at the altar on the big day! We truly couldn't have been happier to have Claire marry us.
Claire is the best! She was prompt and thorough with all of her communications before our wedding. On the day of our "Make it Legal" her service was beautiful. The words that she chose, and the vows that we recited were wonderful.
You will not go wrong with having Claire officiate your service!
Claire created a beautifully moving ceremony for us the day of our wedding and a wonderful experience leading up to it. She came with a knowledge of different rituals/ceremonies and showed an open-mindedness for our ideas, no matter how much they deviated from the traditional. For instance, we didn't want to exchange rings but still valued the symbolism of that piece, so we created an alternative with Claire's help. We wanted to include the guests as much as possible, and she presented several options based on her experience for us to choose from. That she was able to tie our chosen elements into a ceremony that flowed and had meaning, that included the guests and made them laugh... that was admirable. We are so grateful to have found Claire and hope others will have the chance to see the quality of her work.
We loved working with Claire for our wedding ceremony! She was easy to work with and gave us helpful direction so that together we created a ceremony that was personal and heartfelt. From meeting Claire the first time in her home to the day we said I do we could not have asked for a better JP, by the end of our ceremony it felt like we were married by someone who had known us for years- Claire took the time to get to know us and at the end of the day our ceremony was truly beautiful.
Claire Miller is a gem! Such a warm and inviting person to make our special day a success! We wanted our wedding to be on July 4th and she didn’t even hesitate to say she would oblige our wishes! Recommend her to everyone that’s wants there daybto be as special as ours was! Thank you Claire!!!
Working with Claire was one of the highlights of our wedding. She is truly a wonderful person and really takes the time to get to know you as a couple. Claire provided a questionnaire for my husband and I to fill out to be used in the ceremony; we decided to keep it a secret and hear it for the first time at the wedding. We absolutely loved what Claire created and we are still receiving compliments about our ceremony and how personal it was. We cannot thank Claire enough!
Claire was the first JP my now husband and I met and we knew right away we had found the right person to marry us! It's clear she loves being a part of a couple's special day and cares deeply about making your ceremony feel one-of-a-kind.
Everyone at our wedding talked about how amazing she was and asked us how we knew her since she seemed like an old friend who had known us for years.
Claire is the ultimate professional - highly organized with great attention to detail. She provided us with all of the logistics we needed to make sure we got our marriage license on time and had everything in order so there were no hiccups on the day of or with our paperwork.
I can't say enough about how great Claire was and how special she helped make our wedding day.
Claire was absolutely wonderful! She did an amazing job at our ceremony. We’d written the story of how we met and shared it with her. Just from that simple exchange, I truly feel she caught the essence of our personalities and our relationship. We would highly recommend her to anyone!
Claire gave us the most amazing wedding gift of all--a heartfelt ceremony that we will remember forever. She told our story so beautifully that many of our guests asked if she was a family member or long-time friend. Claire was a dream to work with; she provided us with many resources as we planned our ceremony, and was happy to answer any questions. After the ceremony, she provided us with a complete copy of the ceremony as a keepsake--we will treasure it always. Thank you, Claire!
Claire was wonderful to work with and made us both feel so comfortable at our wedding. She had many options to choose from for the vows and readings, and she customized a beautiful ceremony for us. It was an absolutely perfect ceremony.
I still cannot believe our luck in finding Claire. She had a wealth of resources for us to refer to which helped us create the groundwork for the ceremony, but Claire did so much more. Somehow she took notes from our initial conversation and our questionnaires and blended them into the most perfect ceremony, which was uniquely ours. Many guests thought she was a friend who had known us for years! After we returned from our honeymoon and started opening cards and gifts from our day, we were thrilled to find an envelope in our gift pile in which she left a copy of our custom ceremony. We had such a wonderfully easy time working with Claire and the result was a beautiful memory of a beautiful day. We wholeheartedly recommend Claire to any couple seeking a JP.
Claire was FANTASTIC! Our wedding was just last night we had multiple people come ask us where we found her because she did such a great job. They also assumed she was a close family friend just to find out we had only met once before. Claire made everything look smooth and effortless. From the very beginning, she has been so friendly and kind and extremely easy to work with. Her confidence and experience also put us at ease which was nice and one less thing we had to think about on the big day. We highly recommend Claire!!!
We wish we could give Claire more than 5 stars. She was absolutely amazing and made our wedding perfect. After looking at countless of reviews of JPs, we found Claire and are SO happy we did. She walked us through the entire process and was so patient. She did everything from help us explore readings to explain how to file for a marriage license. We had 175 guests at the wedding and every single person commented on how amazing Claire and the ceremony was. Many people asked if she was a friend of ours. She took time to get to know us and to ensure our personalities were reflected in the ceremony. She made the planning process so simple. She definitely has a gift. THANK YOU, CLAIRE!!
We were so overjoyed to find Claire that we had her marry us TWICE! First we eloped during the very snowy February of 2014 (with not a lot of notice) and Claire was super helpful about suggesting places and was totally patient with us nailing down the location details. She married us outdoors on what ended up being the most beautiful sunny day of that month and it was perfect! She provided many helpful vows which made for wonderfully precious memories and also made the process of putting vows together feel much less overwhelming. Then 8 months later we had a backyard wedding with over 100 people and she married us again! Throughout the process of both ceremonies, Claire was the grounding, perceptive and enthusiastic guidance we needed. Her emails were always timely and sincere and expressed her genuine support for our marriage. She also did a wonderful job with both a small group as well as a larger group! We couldn't have been happier to have found her. We would (and have) recommend(ed) her to anyone we know looking to join spirits in marriage.
Claire was amazing and helped make our special day truly perfect. She was always available for questions and flexible with how we wanted our service worded. We dreaded finding a justice of the peace but Claire made our planning for the ceremony a breeze and could have not been any easier. We are extremely thankful for everything Claire has done and strongly suggest her as your justice of the peace.
Claire was incredible from start to finish. After meeting with Claire at her home, we knew we had found the officiant that we were looking for. Claire was a breeze to work with during the planning process. She provided us with well planned outlines to customize our ceremony and she helped us complete our vision by giving examples from her experience. She emailed us a variety of wedding resources to use if we wished - blessings, readings, examples of symbolic gestures, and a variety of different vows.
We opted for the custom ceremony - so we both completed a questionnaire about how we met and our relationship and then Claire took it from there!
On July 16th, 2016, Claire created such a wonderful ceremony for our wedding. I can't tell you how many people approached us to tell us how great our ceremony was and how sincere Claire was in her delivery of our love story! At least 4 different people said that it was the best ceremony they have ever seen - and these people have been to a LOT of weddings...
Claire truly made it the best ceremony that my new husband and I have ever seen too and we're so glad that we can say that it was the perfect ceremony, perfectly designed just for us!
Where do I begin??? First off, Claire is the warmest, and most welcoming person we have ever met. Upon emailing her, she greeted me with words, which were so warm it was as if I had already met her in person. We had to change our date and i was nervous about telling her, but when I did, she was fine with it and open to any date convenient to us. She offered up her beautiful home to us to host our ceremony because our budget was TIGHT! We did it on her porch and it was perfect! She is PERFECT!!! I am so so so so happy I found her profile! Thank you so much Claire for making our day so special!!!!!!
Claire did an absolutely wonderful job writing our ceremony and officiating our wedding. We wanted a completely secular ceremony, but one that had traditional elements while still feeling personal. She provided tons of examples and resources to help us create the ceremony, from readings to vows to symbolic actions. The ceremony Claire put together was perfect and we got dozens of compliments on how well it fit us as a couple. Claire was great to work with and made the process very clear and easy. She truly takes the time to get to know you as a couple and create something special.
Claire is the justice of the peace you book when you want your family to think the ceremony is so personal they assume Claire is a personal friend of you and your future spouse. Her originality and wide variety of different wedding ceremonies, symbols, readings and desire to incorporate anything new, different, or unique to the couple make her the best option for any bride who cares as much about the ceremony as the other details of the day. She was wicked easy to communicate with and she was always quick to respond to emails, and is extremely flexible in regards to meeting with you. Her diction is clear and her background as a speech pathologist means no mumbling or slurring of words. We felt extremely comfortable with claire at the wheel of the ceremony. She was a pleasure to work with and we look forward to booking her years down the road for our vow renewals. If you don't book her, you will wish you had.
Claire is SO wonderful. She was accommodating in terms of where/when to meet with us, had so much material for us to look through and help us decide what was right for our ceremony, and was very reasonably priced. We had a phenomenal experience with Claire, and many of our guests commented on how perfect our ceremony was. We went for the customized ceremony, and I was impressed by how well Claire was able to really capture my husband and I and our relationship with the ceremony that she put together. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!
I'm not sure exactly what site I found Claire's info on, but I am SO glad that we did! Claire's services where very reasonably priced. She made herself available to us throughout our year long engagement and was always prompt, prepared, and professional. We are a non-religious couple and Claire created a ceremony that really captured our story and our personalities SO well!! We used her custom ceremony service and it was amazing! All of our wedding guests raved about how original and "us" the ceremony was! It was a huge hit! I would (and will) highly recommend Claire Miller to anyone looking for a justice of the peace. She was a pleasure to work with and she truly made our special day that much more memorable!
I found Claire on Weddingwire, read her reviews and was immediately drawn to her. Check out her website, she is exactly as she portrays herself. She is so easy to talk to, and loves what she does. We knew at our first meeting we had found our JP! We opted for the custom ceremony. Claire sent us questionnaires to work on months before the ceremony so that she could gather enough information to put our love story into words and read during our ceremony. It was perfect! All our guests loved that and commented on how great she was and how they had never seen a more beautiful ceremony. Claire also offered multiple variations of readings, vows, ring exchanges, etc to help us pick out a perfect ceremony for us that would flow flawlessly. It was a success!! We wrote our own vows and Claire came prepared with them printed for us, just incase we forgot them! Claire was always available to answer any and all of our questions as our big day came close. She was like a good friend guiding you along, and when I saw her just before the ceremony and she greeted me with a big hug I knew I had nothing to worry about, all my nerves went away and I was confident we were in good hands ... And we were! :)
Afterwards she left a beautiful packet of the entire ceremony in print. What a great gift to be able to go back and read our ceremony, we will treasure that always!
Thanks Claire for our perfect ceremony!! <3 K&R 9.12.15
Look no further.
My husband and I feel SO very lucky to have found Claire in our search for an officiant. It was like we dreamed her up. She was very helpful in guiding us and offering plenty of materials and advice to put together a beautifully ceremony, perfectly tailored to our ideals. She was readily available to us and we were in touch as much as we needed prior to our wedding day. Given our long distance, she took the time to 'meet' with us over a FaceTime call to better get to know us before the rehearsal and wedding. We had a great feeling about her right from the start. Claire is very professional, warm, caring, and you can tell she loves what she does. There were some thoughtful questions she had us individually answer over email to help her write a very personal opening to our ceremony. People are still remarking months later that ours was the most beautifully touching and memorable ceremony they've ever been to and we attribute that to Claire. We've even been asked by friends for her info for when they get married, they were so impressed. Not only is she lovely, radiant, and eloquent - I believe she truly cares about the couples she marries and that shows through. On our wedding day she gifted us an elegantly packaged print out of our ceremony, vows, and marriage certificate. Truly, we could not imagine anyone better for our most special day. Five stars for Claire Miller, all the way!
Claire was more than we could have ever imagined a justice of the peace to be. She worked so well with us, and it was like she knew us for years. She helped and guided us every step of the way with items we would have missed without her help. To this day, many of our guests comment on how wonderful claire was during the ceremony, and how her personality made the ceremony unforgettable! We would without a doubt recommend her to friends, family, or anyone in need of a justice of the peace. We can't thank her enough for what she did for us. It was a blessing finding her!
We couldn't be happier with Claire’s Services! When I was wedding planning I refused to hire anyone without referrals from people I knew. A friend from work got married & not only did she rave about Claire, but so did all of my other coworkers that attended the wedding! They actually thought she was a friend who happened to be a JOP! She works hard at getting to know each couple and it really reflects in the ceremony!
Claire was a delight to work with and made the process painless! She supplied ALL the information we needed (references, readings, examples, how-to’s, reminders!) and once you get to see the first draft of your ceremony it’s evident how much passion she has for what she does & how hard she works to deliver exactly what you want!
My favorite detail about Claire’s services is she had us fill out a questionnaire with all sorts of questions to get to know us and our relationship better. My husband & I chose to do them separately and to not share our answers. Claire then incorporated some of our responses into our ceremony, it added an extra sentimental touch that gave us something to look forward to! Then she left us copies of each others answers with a very thoughtful card at our wedding, which was fun to read after the wedding!
I come from a very catholic family and was worried about the response I would get for not only getting married outside of the church but also having a female JOP – the reaction was nothing but love. Everyone thought our ceremony was perfect and so “us”; It told our story in such a heartfelt but comedic way, there was laughter & tears! We received a lot of compliments!
I can not recommend Claire enough! No matter what kind of ceremony you are looking for, I promise you will not be disappointed!
We were so happy to have Claire as our JP. She took the time from the start to get to know us as a couple and individually. She performed a personalized ceremony for us and skillfully included all of the details about our story that we provided her on her questionnaire. Many of our guests told us that this was one of their favorite ceremonies that they had ever been to! I would recommend Claire without hesitation to anyone that wants a personalized ceremony that reflects the interests and priorities of the couple!
Claire Miller is an amazing justice of the peace. From the very beginning, she was extremely professional and friendly, and made a point to get to know us as a couple. She gives a little quiz to the couple to help with her service.. many guests at the wedding assumed she was a close friend of ours because of how well she understood us! Claire was definitely the best vendor at our wedding, and we were told by many that it was the best wedding they ever attended (including their own!). We give Claire all the credit... and I hope to see her win the knot award again this year!
My now husband and I were getting married and searching for a JP about an hour from our house. We found Claire and decided to contact her due to all of her great reviews. We exchanged emails and decided to "meet" via FaceTime. From our initial meeting it was clear that we had found the JP that would marry us. Claire is so easy to talk with, she's personable and so positive. She made the entire process so easy, she always responded to emails timely and was an absolute pleasure to work with. We chose to do a custom wedding ceremony, and anytime I think back on the wedding this one of the best decisions we made. The ceremony was extremely personal, Claire had us fill out questionnaires and she constructed a beautiful narrative and helped us pick out readings. Our wedding ceremony was so personal, so well written and so meaningful. She really captured our story and pieced everything together the day of to make it so special. I cannot say enough good things about Claire. So many guests at the wedding and after commented on how beautiful the ceremony was, and some people thought she was our friend. You can tell that she loves what she does and she's good at it.
Claire was an absolute joy to work with. She was so accommodating, professional, funny and nice. She provided us with a lot of material to make sure that our ceremony was exactly what we were looking for. She made our ceremony the perfect combination of romance and humor. Our friends and family could not stop saying enough good things about our ceremony and how perfect she had made it. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a JP, especially if you are looking for an "outside the box" type of ceremony. Absolutely amazing and we could not have asked for a more PERFECT ceremony!!!
Tom and I found Claire Miller from a review. Everyone raved about her, so she was our first choice. We "eloped" this past Saturday with Claire as our officiant (on her lovely front porch as it was such a beauty of a day). Even though we went for a simple approach, Claire was thorough and extremely attentive to our requests. We highly recommend this wonderful lady! I can see why she's so popular. Very, very, very nice person and so focused on what you want.
Claire was wonderful to work with. She was attentive and prompt. We loved how personal our ceremony was and how much we could customize it to reflect us. All of our guests also commented on this. We really could not have asked for a better officiant and would recommend Claire to anyone who wants a personal ceremony and an awesome officiant to work with!
Claire has given my husband and I something we will cherish for the rest of our lives! I cannot give enough praise to this lovely woman for what she does when it comes to the marriage of two people. From the moment we met Claire, we knew she would be the perfect person to marry us. She is so easy to relate to, so down to earth, and just so caring. When our big day finally arrived, she blew us away with her ethereal presence, calming nature, and her beautiful words. Our wedding guests are still telling us that our ceremony was the most personal, and special ceremony they've been witness to. Claire really got who we are and conveyed it so well. We wish her all the best and are so excited for couples who are planning to be married by her. Claire is a truly special person and a very talented Justice of the Peace.
Claire is phenomenal at what she does, is kind and caring, easy to work with, and best of all, her love of her work shines throughout her service.
I have looked forward to every encounter with Claire throughout the entire process, and would choose her year after year to wed my significant other and I, if getting married yearly was an option :)
If there are to be any re-commitment ceremonies down the road, Claire can expect to hear from us!
Claire was simply amazing to work with. From our first meeting, we knew she was the perfect person to officiate our wedding. We just clicked with her and knew our ceremony would reflect us as individuals as well as a couple. Claire is so creative and came to us with so many great ideas to choose from for a unique and customized ceremony! We received so many compliments after our wedding that our ceremony felt really personal and heartfelt. Some even thought Claire was a close friend because it was as if she had known us forever. She was organized and thorough and was a strong resource throughout the entire planning process. She is downright a good person with a caring heart and soul. She is compassionate and it is so clear that she loves bringing people together. She puts her all into each ceremony to make it so special. She is one of the nicest people I know, and I am proud to say that she officiated our wedding!
My wedding day is one I can remember to every detail thanks to Claire and her wonderful help. The meetings we had each time we met and how personal it was to us. The relationship we had with her showed through to everyone. We got asked if she was a friend. If you want a personalized or romantic ceremony, Claire is the one to have. We had help with how to write our own vows and Our vows were ones everyone remembers because they are love letters to each other. Claire will hold a special place in our hearts forever.
Our ceremony was the most important part of the wedding for us. Claire nailed it. She works with you as much as you need, and she's charismatic and kind. SO many of our guests asked if she was a family friend or close to us in some way-- she just feels so homey! It was the best part of our day and Claire is to thank for it!
On a rainy day in May, my husband and I married at the Wayside Inn in Sudbury and had planned for a beautiful, garden wedding. Because of the weather, we moved it indoors, into tight space, surrounded by family and friends. Despite the weather, we knew that our ceremony would be nice because we had already met Claire a few times and loved her style. We had no idea how special it would be, and how beautiful the ceremony would turn out. Claire really gets to know the couple she is marrying, even in such a short time, and seems to have a way with putting together the most memorable ceremony, creating a story about the couple beginning with the time they met. Our family and friends, and also the wait staff, couldn't say enough about our wedding, how personable it was, and how they had never witnessed such a beautiful ceremony...all thanks to Claire.
Claire also gave us so many ideas that we could use to blend our families during the ceremony, and to include our children in the day, making it even more special. My husband and I are grateful to Claire for being able to officiate our ceremony, and for creating the most beautiful and memorable ceremony.
Claire impressed us from the 1st meeting to the “I do’s”. She was very professional and flexible. We were very late booking her and providing her with the materials she needed. Never the less, she put everything together beautifully, managed to keep a huge family in line during the rehearsal and delivered a very romantic ceremony. Her sweet voice complimented our theme perfectly. She even saved me by bringing a copy of the vows, which I had forgotten. I highly recommend her!
Claire was such a joy to work with! She really took the time to get to know us (through in person meetings, emails and a questionnaire) and crafted an amazing personalized ceremony. She is very organized, easy to work with and a great communicator. She was very helpful throughout all the steps of the planning process and provided lots of great resources for readings, vows, and different ways to make your ceremony unique. All of guests commented on how warm and caring she was during the ceremony, she did an incredible job executing the whole ceremony and rehearsal. Thank you Claire!
When we were trying to decide on a wedding in the church or wedding by JP we did a lot of research. We are new to the area and decided to interview JPs. We scheduled a meeting with Claire Miller in our home several months before the wedding. At first meeting we knew Claire was perfect for us. She is genuinely sweet, kind and caring. She instantly took to us and our love story, preparing the perfect customized ceremony from our questionnaires and two meetings later. Claire is very intuitive, thorough and organized. She accommodated all our needs and provided us with options on how to include our children and grand children into the service. The sand ceremony was a big hit. During her readings of our love story, there wasn't a dry eye in the hall. She created a beautiful folder with our Marriage Ceremony and Certificate as a keepsake. We returned from our honeymoon and she made sure our official certificate was at the town hall. We have been married 1 month and already thinking about having Claire renew our vows in the future. She is someone you would love to know whether she officiates your wedding or not.
My husband and I had a very small (8 people total), intimate wedding and only had a few weeks to plan it. We both didn't know too much about how to plan a ceremony. Claire helped us out tremendously by offering suggestions and quotes/passages that suited our relationship perfectly.
I would also like to say that she is one of the most genuine people I have ever met. For me, it is easy to tell when a person is faking their kindness. Claire is so compassionate and it is clear to see that all of her heart and energy goes into every part of the ceremony process. My family made several comments after the wedding about how wonderful she was, and where on earth did we find her! Thanks to the reviews on the internet, finding her was easy. :-)
Of all the vendors that we chose for our wedding day, Claire Miller was far and away our favorite. From the first time we met her she went out of her way to get to know us, understand our relationship, and design us the exact ceremony we were looking for. We specifically wanted to have someone fun, light hearted, and with subtle religious undertones. She gave us great suggestions, went over the whole process in thorough detail. Come our wedding day, we couldn’t have been happier. Through the entire reception and to this day, we continue to get compliments about how lovely and personal our ceremony was. I couldn’t imagine hiring anyone else, and I would recommend Claire to anyone regardless of the type of ceremony.
My husband Chris and I could not have picked a better JP to lead our wedding ceremony! From the day we met Claire up until the wedding (and even after the wedding) she has been so great to work with. Claire is exactly what we were looking for in a JP - friendly, responsive, organized and extremely informative! She wanted our ceremony to be "our" ceremony, so she asked that we fill out questionnaires about eachother and our realtionship. From that, she created an amazing story that she incorporated in the ceremony and it couldn't have been said any better! During our reception, guests were asking Chris and I if Claire was a good friend or family member because the story she told made it seem like she's known us forever! Claire was so wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend her to be your JP!
Claire provided such a personal touch to our ceremony by having us fill out questionnaires about each other, then incorporating our answers into her reading. She provided us lots of ideas, but never pushed any. She helped us carefully craft a ceremony that our guests are still talking about! Claire is an amazing JP who I'd highly recommend!
Claire Miller was instrumental in making our wedding day perfect. We knew from the start that she was the JP for us. Claire has a way about her that is so warm and welcoming. She really put us at ease! We loved how she took the time to get to know our "story" and really seemed to care about us as individuals. It's easy to see how much Claire was meant to be a JP - not only by how perfectly she crafted our ceremony - but also, by how all of our guests reacted to her service. They just loved her!!! Claire Miller truly was the perfect choice for our wedding!
When my husband and I were looking for an officiant, our only criteria was "not weird". We did not want it to be awkward up at the alter. We met up with Claire at a coffee shop for an interview and she was just very pleasant and genuinely seemed to love being a JP. She made us feel very comfortable and so she was hired!
Claire was also very through throughout the process of planning the ceremony. We loved that she incorporated our own personal stories into the ceremony, adding small details / inside jokes which made the ceremony even more special.
All of our guests commented on how great she was. They all assumed we had known each other for a long time, that is how personal the ceremony was! She made the entire planning process stress free and easy and was a complete pleasure to work with.
We can not say enough about Claire. You will not regret hiring this amazing woman!
We found Claire after searching online for JPs. After meeting with one to two other JPs we were still feeling a bit disheartened in our search. Then we met Claire and instantly knew that she was the one we wanted. She is absolutely lovely. Claire immediately made us feel comfortable and for the first time we were beginning to feel excited about crafting our ceremony rather than overwhelmed. She shared so many wonderful resources and ideas and really got to know us, which was evident in our ceremony. We incorporated a wine box/love letter event in our ceremony, which hit the perfect note for us since we love wine tasting! After filling our personal questionnaires about each other we were able to meet with Claire to review everything one more time! (we had also been emailing back and forth too!) We opted to have Claire review just the outline of the ceremony, so that way there would be some little surprises for us to hear the day of. Wow - the day of we could not have been happier. The ceremony, the story she told of our love, and her beautiful speaking style made our day even better than we could have hoped for. Claire definitely has a way of learning about you and is able to weave everything together so seamlessly. You will most definitely love working with her. We are so happy we choose her and now have so many beautiful memories of our special day, a big thanks to Claire.
We found Claire by sheer luck. I googled Justices of the Peace in Grafton MA and her name came up. I checked out her site and liked what I saw. We set up a meeting with her and after that there was no need to meet with anyone else. We knew instantly that she was the right one to marry us.
Claire is as available as much or as little as you want her to be. We were very laid back about our ceremony, so we didn’t need to contact her a lot. I knew there wasn’t much I would have to do in order to have a great ceremony. With all the things we had to worry about, knowing we had Claire working on the ceremony put our minds at ease.
Claire asked out to fill out short questionnaires about us as a couple , how we met, fell in love etc. I highly recommend you complete these. The ceremony that she wrote, including all the details of our lives, was amazing. I have read it and reread it and I still cry every time. She did such a great job telling our story.
I would highly recommend her to anyone I knew getting married. I can’t tell you how many people from our wedding told us what a great job she did and how amazing she was.
You definitely won’t be disappointed if you invite Claire to officiate your special day.
Claire was FANTASTIC!!!!! My wife and I decided to drive from Florida to Boston to get married. I found Claire here on the Knot and decided to take a chance, and I am soooo glad that I did. She recommended the perfect place for us to have our ceremony and even though it rained, I couldn't have picked a more perfect location. Claire was genuinely enthusiastic and professional. From the moment we met, Claire made us feel like our union was just as important to her as it was to us. If you are looking for a professional, personable and all around perfect officiant then look no further than Claire Miller!
Claire was a fantastic Justice of the Peace for our wedding this summer. She was flexible and creative, and hit the right balance of personality, while still following our "vision" for the ceremony. Our ceremony was complicated, and incorporated several different faiths and speakers. I highly recommend Claire as a professional and skilled Justice of the Peace.
