Justice Barbara officiated our wedding at the Hampshire House, and we couldn't be more delighted with our ceremony. She met with us twice to discuss the design of the ceremony, and...
made sure that it reflected our personalities. She is so warm and kind, and that certainly came through in the preparations leading up to the wedding and on the day itself. We wanted a secular ceremony, but also wanted it to feel personalized and special, and Justice Barbara more than delivered. Thank you!
I had the pleasure of meeting Barbara Kahn in fall of 2017, by way of referral from a family friend during our search for a wedding officiant. At our introductory meeting, Mrs. Ka...
hn provided structured guidance regarding wedding ceremony logistics that my partner (now husband) and I desired, while maintaining a warm, friendly and genuine attitude that was both reassuring and calming. During our second meeting, my partner and I spent several hours with Barbara to fine-tune the details of our approaching wedding. She provided excellent and welcomed suggestions regarding ceremony specifics and similarly made us feel very comfortable in voicing our preferences for the ceremony details.
Barbara was nothing short of an exemplary officiant on our wedding day. She followed the format and structure that my partner and I had discussed with her to a “T”. What elevated her from great to exceptional was her tone, language and approach that mirrored the personalities of myself and my partner and enhanced the style and feel of our wedding as a whole. Barbara expertly combined traditional ceremonial elements with modern details while exuding a lovely and genuine persona throughout. The humorous comments she sprinkled into the ceremony were authentic, delightful, and perfectly mirrored the light-hearted tone my partner and I strived to achieve for our big day. Barbara also expertly navigated the participation of my stepchildren in the ceremony; she made them feel included and important yet also comfortable and not overwhelmed.
My husband and I agree that Barbara was a phenomenal officiant, a sentiment that was repeated to us by many of our wedding guests as well. As such, I recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant in the New England area.
My husband and I got married in November 2016 and had Barbara as our JP and couldn't be happier! Barbara is the most kind hearted person and truly is a professional in this field. ...
In planning she took the time to learn about us and our relationship and personalizes the ceremony to that. She has a handbook of readings and vows to choose from and although we wrote our vows she came to the ceremony with beautiful printouts Our guests raved about how interesting, beautiful and special our ceremony was - saying it was the best they've seen and that is all because of Barbara. She carries the presence of leading the ceremony and makes you feel comfortable up there with her. It is a no brainer to go with Barbara!
Barbara Kahn is a special woman! My wife and I used her as our JP for our wedding in early October. We found her through a friend of a friend. Though we met with two other JPs, we ...
knew immediately that she was the right fit for us.
We didn’t meet with her again until a week before the wedding, when she personalized our ceremony by having us write excerpts about one another and choose our vows. We went over what we wanted for our wedding ceremony and she helped us with suggestions, but she made sure we knew that the ceremony will look exactly how we want it to.
The wedding ceremony was better than we imagined. Barbara did such a great job, and so many of our friends and family commended her as the perfect JP. We are so glad we chose her because she added a very special touch and personality to our big day.
Barbara is a rare find. She brings so much expertise and experience to the table. She was kind, friendly, and genuinely interested in our story. She presented us with ideas that we...
used to make our ceremony special. Barbara is organized, thorough and professional. She also used our personal sentiments and surprised us with how tuned in she is to what’s unique about us as a couple. We highly recommend Barbara Kahn to anyone preparing to get married.
