Marrus was like talking to a family member. I loved talking to Iris, she is the nicest, kindest lady and a great manager. With each phone call, I knew I made a great decision. Justice Alan Marrus asked us questions about ourselves, how we met, our story, etc. and he made our ceremony perfectly tailored for us and our guests. I told him to bring the humor, and boy, he did not disappoint! This man is hilarious. I think more guests were impressed by him, his ceremony and of course, his humor than the reception that followed. People asked if we were related to him, ‘where did you find him?’, honestly, wish we were! Haha! He’s that cool. He had us all laughing and crying in unison. If you’re searching and looking, you don’t have to continue looking if you’re reading my review. Judges for Love is the only choice to start your life off as a married couple. Hire them!

The real stuff……Judge Marrus and his wife Iris are so incredibly warm and personable…..via zoom and email, but even more so when we met in person!! We really felt a huge connection with them, and felt they were so invested and interested in our story and our Big Day. We had a few small last moment changes in the proceeding 24 hours and even last few hours….and nothing was too much trouble or a problem. In the run up to our wedding, the Judge gleaned a few details about our lives, family and friends…..and on the day these were turned in to a heartfelt and integral part of our beautiful ceremony. So emotional and joyful. We were able to use our own vows that we had written for one another. However the legal speech that the Judge gave first, was so apt and perfect too. We were also invited to give him a reading to deliver during our ceremony….which we did….and Wow!! His New York brogue lifted the words from the page with such warmth and sincerity. Made us cry!! We couldn’t have wished for more. Our Wedding day was just the best day ever!!! The one and only negative is that we didn’t get chance to meet their dog Charlie…..who sounds like a total star!!!

They took the time and effort to get to know us as a couple and learn our story so that they could tailor the best ceremony possible for us. They patiently guided us through the process and provided such helpful guidance. Their genuine care is immediately apparent. They both felt like family by the time our wedding day arrived! We received and continue to receive constant compliments on our ceremony, particularly praises for Judge Marrus whose officiating impressed and greatly delighted our guests.
