s. My first phone call with her solidified my decision, talking with her just felt so natural and comfortable. We went on to scheduling a video call, with my now husband. During the call, she just had so much positivity and enthusiasm it had us both feeling even more excited for our special day. I would highly recommend Danee to be your Justice of the Peace, so many good things to say about her!

nter of attention, Danee created the most supportive, thoughtful, and safe atmosphere for us to be unapologetically ourselves and feel comfortable while doing it. Danee is a master at communication, from our one on one meetings to the wedding day itself. We had absolutely no reservation in our choice after the first email exchange. Danee makes it her mission to eloquently explain your love story and help guide you when words are far harder than feelings. She is a master at her work and a welcomed part of our family. We could not be more happy with our selection and so glad to support her.

ized, and made our special day even more special. She took time with us to make sure every part of our ceremony was done the way we wanted. She has such a beautiful energy to her and you can clearly see she became a JP because she loves love, hearing others stories, and helping them have an incredible experience. Not just on the day but for the whole process. I could not recommend her enough, we are so thankful for all she did!

Danee wasn’t just our officiant, she was the heroine of our wedding. Only five days before our ceremony, our original officiant (who was also supposed to be a friend) suddenly stop...
ped communicating with us. We were heartbroken and anxious, unsure what to do. Then we found Danee, and from that moment on, everything changed.
We had already written our entire ceremony script and wanted it to remain deeply personal, but we also wanted someone who genuinely cared about our story, not a stranger reading words. Danee not only listened to everything we envisioned, but she brought warmth, heart, and her own creative touch to the ceremony’s wording itself, enhancing what we had written in such a beautiful, respectful way. She took the time to truly get to know us, calming our nerves and helping us reclaim the joy we thought we’d lost.
Our wedding had a semi–Viking theme, and Danee’s enthusiasm was infectious, she even suggested wearing a cloak to complement the theme! As proud nerds, we absolutely loved it. Her thoughtfulness, communication, and kindness made her feel like part of our story, not just part of the ceremony.
Because of Danee, we got to keep everything we’d written, while gaining something far greater … her presence, her personality, and her care.
Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how heartfelt and unique our ceremony was, and that’s all thanks to her.
We can’t recommend Danee enough. She didn’t just officiate our wedding, she gave us back our day. Thank you, Danee, from the bottom of our hearts.

ng that could’ve happened because it was meant to be. From the moment we first got on the call with Danee we both knew she was the perfect fit as she was confident and comfortable with a super warm energy that helped us relax and feel safe leaving our ceremony in her hands. The ceremony she crafted was perfect for us and she paid attention to our vibes and our vision to curate something special and tailored to our love. You could tell so much time and effort went into putting it all together and she worked with us to make any changes or tweaks we wanted (also preemptively giving us multiple options for vows, ring exchanges and readings for us to pick from). And then on the day she was everything we hoped and more. She made the ceremony feel light, authentic and helped everyone to feel at ease. Her energy helped to ground the ceremony and she held space for us to share and cement our love and commitment to one another. We had so many comments from guests about how beautiful, genuine and authentic the ceremony was and how great Danee was as an officiant. You can tell she truly loves love and what she does in helping to make the biggest day of your life as special as possible. We can’t thank Danee enough for the time, effort and care she put into it. Her pricing is also unbelievable, and she delivered more than we could’ve ever expected. 100000/10 would recommend and tell future couples to book Danee!!!! She will not disappoint!

Danee is amazing! Let her marry you! ❤️
My mom found Danae on a website when searching for an officiant for my husband and I. When my mom messaged her, Danee responded promptly and...
excitedly, and from there we had set a meeting through google meet to get to know each other (we are in RI and she is in NH).
From our first meeting, we knew we wanted Danee to marry us; she had a radiant energy and we could tell she loved what she does. We set up another meeting to discuss our ceremony plans and script, then one last meeting a couple weeks before the wedding to make sure we were good to go.
Danee’s prices are beyond reasonable and I highly suggest making her part of your big day! She has such a sweet soul and will ensure you get everything is check to make it official.

a fire for Danee to fulfill my dreams of having my mother at Sam and I's wedding. Danee had no hesitation springing into action to help plan a 3 week wedding!! October 26th 2024 was the day it all came together. Danee brought a warm personal touch to the ceremony ensuring that everyone knew our love story. She took the time to speak with emotion which made the atmosphere that much more magical on a chilly October afternoon. The ceremony couldn't have been anymore perfect thanks to Danee and her guidance, professionalism, enthusiasm, calm demeanor and over all warmth.

We seriously couldn't have asked for a better officiant! From that first call, we clicked with Danee Dalphonse, Justice of the Peace right away. She was so welcoming, super organiz...
ed and ready to go, which made planning our ceremony feel easy and stress-free.
We got married on April 2025 at Owl’s Nest Resort in New Hampshire, and Danee went above and beyond from start to finish. Our wedding party told us right before the ceremony that she was hyping everyone up and being so sweet to everyone. After the ceremony, everyone kept asking how we knew her because she did such an amazing job! We were like, "Yeah, we know!" 😊
Our wedding turned out WAY better than either of us imagined, and Danee played such a huge part in making it unforgettable. If you’re looking for a Justice of the Peace in New Hampshire who will make your wedding ceremony meaningful, memorable, and totally you, we cannot recommend Danee enough.
