When the officiant for our wedding in October cancelled with only weeks to spare, JP Liz stepped right in without hesitation. We knew we had nothing to worry about with her thoughtfulness, attention to detail and fun personality. The ceremony was absolutely perfect and captured our love story beautifully. Liz personalized everything and communicated with us every step of the way. I am so grateful we were able to work with her and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding officiant.
JP Liz was such a pleasure to work with. We knew from our first Zoom with her, she was the JP we would be choosing! She was so friendly and upbeat. She was even blowing bubbles as we first saw her on screen! Too cute! She made sure she took notes on everything we talked about. She was great at staying in touch when we had questions. We had her come for our rehearsal as well and she really took charge when none of us had any clue what to do. She put together a beautiful ceremony for us and we would definitely recommend her to anyone who asked!
I was referred to JP Liz by my venue and when I contacted her she was quick to respond and set up a meeting with us. Liz was very professional and lovely to work with. Once she wrote the ceremony, she sent it to us to look over/modify. Everything went perfectly on our wedding day and she mailed in our license right away following the wedding!
Justice Liz was an absolute joy and pleasure to work with. She made the planning process so much easier, provided resources to support us throughout it, and planned an absolutely beautiful ceremony. We are eternally grateful for your support, and for everything you did to make the day a breeze!
Justice Liz was so wonderful and we were so happy with our wedding ceremony! She met with us multiple times ahead of the wedding to get to know us and the ceremony she put together was absolutely perfect. She had such a wonderful positive energy and I would 100% recommend her to any couples seeking a meaningful, personalized ceremony for your wedding.
We absolutely loved working with JP Liz! From the moment we met her, it was clear Liz loves what she does! She took the time to learn our love story and genuinely shared in our excitement for the big day. Liz is a true professional and her years of experience made planning our ceremony easy and fun. She listened closely to what we did and did not want and made suggestions for memorable additions. Liz was responsive, organized, prepared our ceremony well in advance of the day for our review, and expertly organized our rehearsal to ensure everything went smoothly on the big day. Our guests laughed and cried with us as Liz officiated a memorable and special ceremony that was perfectly curated for us. Thank you, Liz!
I reached out to Justice Elizabeth Gemelli regarding officiating our marriage after receiving the recommendation from our wedding venue Willowdale. She was very prompt and professional, and we met via zoom to discuss our wedding details as we live some distance away. She offered tons of ideas and always had a wonderful and fun presence, and we knew she would make our ceremony memorable and unique. She gave us general guidelines and allowed us to entirely customize the ceremony to really represent who we are. She did a fabulous job and we are so fortunate that she helped make our wedding perfect.
JP Liz was amazing! Really appreciated how she made the ceremony about us as the couple. She wrote out the ceremony and worked with us on all the wording and made sure we were comfortable with the entire ceremony.
My out-of-town guests (South, Midwest, and Pacific Northwest) all loved her Boston accent too!
JP Liz was the officiant for our wedding ceremony in 2021 with a small crowd (our parents) and the officiant again for our renewal of vows and reception with the rest of our family in 2022. We had a stellar experience working with her at both occasions.
She provided us ample choices for the ceremony, including different phrasing of the vows, and took the time to get to know us as people to craft something uniquely us. She gave us a draft of the ceremonies with plenty of time for review and recited them beautifully. She even printed off our vows on special cards so we would have them as a memory.
We love that Liz is incredibly kind, warm, and funny. She was also so helpful even beyond our ceremony. For example, she gave us a book for wedding planning and was always open to providing advice when I would ask questions about topics outside of the ceremony.
I will never forget her saying, "Getting married is special. There's something different when you get to call each other husband and wife. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise." And I have to admit; this will stick with me forever. It is special, and the ceremony made it even more special, thanks to Liz.
My husband and I truly cannot say enough good things about Liz. Not only did she initially marry us (me & husband only) during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic in August of 2020, but she came back to do our ceremony in front of all of our loved ones on 8/27/2022 and offered to do so for free. Liz has a fun and vibrant spirit, making the process more comfortable for everyone involved. She has years of experience in the wedding industry and offers advice and guidance whenever it is needed. You won't be disappointed working with her!
Exceptional justice for your perfect day. She personalizes the ceremony to the couples request. Thank you for making our day special
Elizabeth made everything super easy and was great to work with! She really knew how to make the experience work for us!
Justice Liz was absolutely amazing. My husband and I got married in May, and our wedding day threw us a pretty significant curveball. JP Liz jumped into action and had no problem officiating our wedding at a location that was not initially planned - and then officiated our second ceremony at our original venue without question. From our first meeting to our wedding day - JP Liz was so helpful and wonderful to work with. I also LOVED her book that she sent after we signed the contract. Thank you so much for everything, Elizabeth!
Liz is AMAZING! We got in contact with Liz in the depths of COVID and, even though we couldn't meet in person, she made our zoom calls so fun and personal.
Liz is so knowledgeable and helpful in figuring out the perfect wedding ceremony for you and your partner. She helped us to personalize our vows and ceremony in a way that was perfectly us. She guided us through the ceremony point by point to ensure everything went smoothly and our photos turned out perfectly.
We are so appreciative of Liz not only making our ceremony so special (and legal!) but making the whole process fun and romantic.
Liz is the sweetest person you will meet and loves love. Hire her for your wedding and you'll be so happy you did!
JP Liz was absolutely amazing. She took the time and detail to make a personalized ceremony that would fit the best for what we were looking for. She was easy to communicate with, had great suggestions, and was essential in helping the ceremony run smoothly. I was so nervous during the ceremony I was shaking but she helped to discreetly guide us and make sure our standing placement was correct, that we didn’t forget anything, etc. I am so glad that she was the one to marry us. Thanks JP Liz!!
Elizabeth is by far the best!! She is such a sweet lady – when we met her, it seemed like she was an old friend. She is easy to talk to and takes a lot of time with meetings so you never feel rushed, which is something I value and appreciate. I don’t want to spoil any surprises, but when we first met with her, we walked into her office and she did a special welcoming for us – at that point we knew we wanted her to marry us. She is fun, nice, creative, and has great ideas, too! She was a wedding planner for a long time so also gives you tips and tricks on wedding planning. She also gifted us the book she wrote on wedding planning (it’s a super informative and cute book)! I cannot say enough great things about Elizabeth. Sadly, our wedding was postponed to next summer due to COVID – Elizabeth has been very caring and understanding throughout the entire process. We highly recommend her and cannot wait for her to marry us next year. I will leave another recommend next year, which I know will be great. But, in the meantime, I wanted to leave a great review, because she has been superb! Thank you, Elizabeth!
Liz was amazing! We hired her on our first meeting that’s how much great energy and professionalism she conveyed. Liz walked us through everything and gave us lots of good ideas and language options to personalize our ceremony. She also ran our rehearsal like a complete pro! She was our favorite and best hire! Highly recommend!
JP Liz was great to work with. She met with us in person a few times prior to the wedding to get to know us, help us decide how we want our ceremony to go and gave us tips to be mindful of during the ceremony. She’s got a great personality and very easy to work with. Definitely recommend!
JP Liz is truly the best!! We decided to get married in Boston before our destination wedding in Miami. We hired JP Liz to do a small ceremony with just our moms and siblings (and our dog Stella) and it was so memorable! She made it so personal and did such a beautiful job! She was sure to include the important aspects of our lives, especially my husband's father who had passed away. She was so caring and thoughtful throughout the whole process and we cannot thank her enough for managing such an important part of our wedding!
We are so happy we chose JP Liz to officiate our wedding. She is so approachable, warm and fun. She met with us a couple of times leading up to the big day and was beyond helpful in planning the ceremony, practicing and even recommending readings we could use. We highly recommend her!
JP Liz is a dear friend from the weekend he industry and I didn’t have to think twice on who to call to officiate our wedding when I got engaged. She’s warm, caring, funny, witty, organized and truly loves what she does. She met with us a few times to go over ceremony options and structure and practiced the way to walk down the aisle and even exchange rings smoothly. There were tips and tricks she shared with us and on the day of, knowing she had it all under control put us at ease. She’s the best and I highly recommend her!!
JP Liz was amazing on our wedding day. Not only is she a wedding officiant, but she also has YEARS of experience in the wedding industry and was able to help on my wedding day in other ways as well. She was so helpful throughout the planning process and met with us several times in order to plan the perfect wedding ceremony. She made everything so personalized and we felt an instant connection with her. thank you so much for giving us a perfect wedding ceremony!
JP Liz was so awesome!!!!! From the first time we met her, we knew we were in good hands. She was so easy to talk to and had so many helpful tips and suggestions to make the big day flow smoothly. She met us a couple of times to put together the most perfect ceremony that reflected our love and everything that is important to us. We got so many compliments on the ceremony, and almost everyone told us they were in tears because it was so beautiful! JP Liz was the perfect person to marry us, and we’re so happy we found her! We would highly recommend working with JP Liz!!
Absolutely amazing officiant! Made our wedding day so special. Forever thankful!
JP Liz was an absolutely wonderful officiant for our wedding. Liz took a lot of time and consideration via a FaceTime phone conference and an in person meeting to truly get to know myself, my husband, and our story. Liz was accommodating to the physical distance between us, finding a convenient time to meet us in person at a halfway point. As far as the ceremony went, JP Liz excelled in her delivery. We received many compliments on the ceremony! Please consider JP Liz as your wedding officiant!
My husband and I had the pleasure of having Elizabeth as our JP for our wedding. She was well organized, approachable, efficient, decisive, warm, and great with helping us make decisions that were unsure of . She also took the time to talk to us on the phone, meet with us in person, and attend the wedding rehearsal. She showed a sincere interest in incorporating what what was important to us in the ceremony.
Elizabeth was absolutely amazing! I am so glad I was referred to her. From our first meeting I knew she was a perfect fit for us. She gave us a lot of creative and unique ideas to make our ceremony special. When it started pouring rain just before the ceremony, Elizabeth kept things calm and had us wait out the storm and the skies cleared just in time! She was so well organized and friendly, everyone just loved the ceremony and her special touches! I would highly recommend her!
JP Liz is wonderful! She was so helpful during our wedding last month. With her wedding planning experience she supported us in all steps of designing the perfect ceremony which went very smoothly. She thinks of absolutely everything and takes care of everything so that you don’t have to worry about anything. I would highly recommend JP Liz to anyone planning their wedding!
Working with Elizabeth was fantastic! We wanted a ceremony that blended the different traditions of my husband's and my family's while keeping the ceremony focused on our relationship. I always looked forward to speaking with Elizabeth on the phone or our in-person meetings to plan the ceremony because she is so warm and thoughtful. The ceremony she put together for us was incredibly moving and exactly what were looking for. While she is very professional, she made us both feel incredibly comfortable on the biggest day of our lives.
Our wedding was on September 22nd at Belle Mer and we loved JP Liz. Unfortunately the officiant we originally hired over a year before the wedding was unavailable last minute and we were in need of an officiant with only 2 weeks left until our wedding day. Multiple wedding vendors we were using recommended her and we got very lucky that JP Liz had to cancel her planned trip and happened to be available. JP Liz was extremely accommodating as she was available to meet with us within a day of chatting with her. From our first meeting we knew that we were in good hands. JP Liz is very warm and caring and offered us lots of great advice to help the ceremony and the day run smoothly. She was always prompt and prepared from the first meeting to the rehearsal to the ceremony. We are very grateful that everything worked out and highly recommend JP Liz. She was a pleasure to work with.
JP Liz is one of a kind. I was searching for an officiant with something special. I wanted personal, emotional, humor, Structure, and organization. She was all of that and more. We are still getting compliments on how well our ceremony was done. It was truly perfect. Liz understands what a couple wants, and is not afraid to let you know what will work or will not work with your wedding. She made sure we were prepared, organized and on time. We cannot thank her enough.

We are very happy that JP Liz married us! She has many years of experience officiating and planning weddings and it shows. She helped us plan a ceremony that was the perfect fit for us. She had great ideas and also thought of details/issues that we had not considered. Thanks for everything, JP Liz!
We would definitely recommend Liz to anyone looking for a Justice of the Peace to marry them. Liz was so kind from day one and so excited for us! She really made us feel comfortable and we weren't nervous at all for big day because she talked us through our day so perfectly. She met with us multiple times and did a very detailed rehearsal so everyone knew what to do and where to stand. She was just amazing!
Elizabeth was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day! Being a couple that was planning a wedding from out of state, Liz was more than accommodating to make sure all the details were sorted out. She took the time to FaceTime, on multiple occasions, to get to know me and my husband. The personalized ceremony truly made our day special and the most memorable in front of all of our family and friends. We heard nothing but great feedback about how genuine our ceremony was from our love story to our personal vows. It's a day we'll never forget and Liz made it happen, literally! xoxo
JP Liz is unmatched in the wedding game.
She is professional, knowledgeable, funny, and comfortable to be around.
Liz created the perfect ceremony for us: simple and timely, yet elegant and meaningful.
We cannot thank her enough for helping us get married, and for being so awesome!
So happy to have found JP Liz! We got married in the Boston Public Garden and it was just as I had hoped for! She worked with us to make our ceremony personal and unique. If you are looking for a JP who is full of life and spunk, and has the best Boston accent....choose JP Liz!
There is not enough words to describe how wonderful Liz was! We only had her as our officiant, but she truly felt like another wedding planner. She was so helpful with our ceremony by providing different options that we can do. She helped us with our family and bridal party and how they should walk down the aisle. Liz was so easy to talk to and if you didn't make a decision on something she would provide advice on how to tackle some of the harder things of wedding planning. She was willing to meet whenever you needed to meet with her. We did not have a rehearsal at our wedding venue, but had one elsewhere and she was more than happy to come to help us practice! She was very attentive to emails and she sent us an email with a final copy of the ceremony for us to look over and make any necessary edits. Thank you so much Liz for everything you have done for us we truly appreciate it!
JP Liz was fantastic! She took a lot of time creating a ceremony that was unique to us as a couple. Throughout the process, JP Liz was responsive to emails and provided us with a lot of references to create our ceremony from. We have heard so many wonderful comments from our guests raving about the ceremony.
We fell in love with JP Liz from the second we clicked on her website! My (now) husband and I had been searching high and low for an officiant who would be just right for our ceremony and from the beginning JP Liz’s services were everything we had been hoping for! From helping us customize a ceremony tailored with details that held significance to both our families, she was with us every step of the way with her humor and professional work ethic to help guide us in the right direction. To this day our families still talk about how perfect the ceremony was— and it was all thanks to JP Liz! Her attention to detail, responsiveness, genuine personality and clear passion for her position made the experience wonderful and stress free (and quiet frankly a lot of fun)! We cannot recommend her more— there is not a thing we would have changed! To anyone looking for a JP who will be just as passionate as you are about your special day — you don’t need to look any farther~ thank you so much for making our dream come true! - Jay & Slaine
We got married on 10-06-18 and Liz was our JP. she made our ceremony so special and personal while providing us with a very fair price. she made the ceremony perfect
Liz was so sweet and helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process! She met with us multiple times before the wedding to go over details of what we wanted included in the ceremony and helped to make us feel so comfortable. She even told us exactly how to stand and position ourselves throughout the ceremony so that our photographer could get the best shots! Our ceremony was so special and meaningful we highly recommend her!
What a lady! JP Liz had us laughing and enjoying the ceremony planning process from the minute we met her! She has a love for marriage and the couples that she works with that radiates in all the she does. She spends time to get to know you as a couple, what your vision is for your ceremony, and beautifully crafts it all together for an amazing wedding. Thank you so much JP Liz for making our wedding ceremony so meaningful and special to us and our friends and family. Our guests have been raving about you ever since!
Justice Elizabeth Gemelli made our wedding day so special from the beginning of planning our wedding down to the day of. She was professional, responsive and personable, actually getting to know us as a couple! We met and messaged back and forth several times, her experience and advice shining through. Having already decided to get married outside of the church, we debated asking a close family relative to become ordained and marry us to add extra meaning to our day but grew weary of the experience level and comfort with public speaking needed to actually coordinate and run the ceremony. Now we know that we couldn't have made a better choice because we got to meet such a lovely person who got to know us as a family member, as well as being able to rely on her expertise. The wording throughout the ceremony was also beautifully written and unique to us, something we will cherish always. We were just so blessed to have met Liz and we know she will continue to make several other's wedding days as special and meaningful as ours was!!
JP Liz helped make our special day even more AMAZING with her kind & caring personality, zest for life and genuine interest in getting to know us; the ceremony was absolutely perfect!
We love JP Liz and highly recommend her.
Elizabeth was great to work with planning our wedding! She made the ceremony exactly what we wanted. Her personal touch made it very special. She was easy to get a hold of even if it was something I needed advice. Everyone said how quick and easy she made the rehearsal so we could continue our night. Anyone is lucky to use her!
Love Liz!!!! She made our day very special . I would recommend her to any couple getting married. She is professional but makes you feel like you have known her forever from the 1st time you meet
I was beyond nervous about my wedding as I don’t do well with big crowds; JP Liz made me feel so much more at ease about the whole day. She is so kind (and honestly really cool, too) and even included my daughter who my husband adopted in our ceremony. I love that she included a little blurb about how my husband and I met and all of the things we had accomplished in the time we have been together. My wedding day was amazing, and I owe so much to JP Liz.
JP Liz was great throughout our whole planning process. She provided me with a lot of information so I could decide how I wanted my ceremony to go to make it unique to my Husband and I. JP Liz listened to and incorporated our ideas into her writing of the wedding ceremony. She was attentive and responded to emails and questions promptly with helpful answers and information. She was great coordinating with our other vendors and making sure everything was running on time the day of. In the end the ceremony was my favorite part of the entire wedding. It was unique to us as a couple and JP Liz helped us bring our vision to life. Thank you so much!!
Elizabeth was fabulous and very supportive of our ideas for our ceremony. It was like dealing with one of the family. Always helpful and easy to work with.
JP Liz married my now husband and I in August. She was so wonderful to work with. My husband and I have a unique family dynamic, and she was so helpful figuring out the seating for our ceremony, making sure it would go off without a hitch! She was readily available to meet before our wedding to make sure we were all on the same page and what to expect. It was such a perfect day, and I can't thank JP Liz enough for all of her help! xoxoxoxo!
Liz was so helpful in officiating our wedding. She really got to know us as a couple and that made our wedding even more special. Liz is a true professional!!
JP Liz was great throughout the entire process! She took the time to meet and get to know us and work through details on multiple occasions. She didn't blink when we changed our minds on things or were unsure or late on what we wanted to do for parts of the ceremony. She took the time to learn about the cultural aspects of our ceremony and supported whatever we wanted to do. And she was also fun to be around! Thanks Liz!
My husband and I were delighted to work with JP Liz! She is kind, very knowledgeable, and very helpfully organized- a true expert in her field! We got married at the end of May and were very pleased with Liz's organization of the ceremony, including a very helpful wedding rehearsal to get us all set for the big day! If you're like us and you really don't know where to begin but want a unique, meaningful, and memorable wedding ceremony, Liz is the perfect choice. Her fun, sincere, and upbeat attitude are all the kinds of qualities that you want your JP to have. We were truly happy to work with her and especially appreciated her willingness to meet, email, or chat over the phone whenever we had questions or wanted to go over details. We also really appreciated that she made our wedding ceremony very special and unique to us. We aren't religious so it was especially important to us to have a ceremony that had special meaning for us and that was tailor-made for our story. Liz delivered and was very quick in getting our marriage license in order for us, which was also incredibly helpful as it helped speed up my name change process!
Thank you so much Liz for spending so much time to make sure we had the most perfect wedding day! We will never forget you and will always appreciate your role in our wedding!
Justice Elizabeth was wonderful to work with. Her sweet and loving personality made it very easy to work with her. She was also very well organized and helped us with ideas to structure our ceremony the way we wanted it. She took the time to facetime with us and go over all the details. I would totally recommend Justice Elizabeth. :)
My wife and I had the pleasure of being married by JoP Liz June 2017 in Boston. Liz has such a warm and friendly presence, and really made our ceremony a special, memorable experience. Liz was also very flexible throughout the process. She met with us in person a few times (at no extra charge), and was very willing to edit/adjust the ceremony when we had asked for updates. We would highly recommend Liz for any other couples looking for a justice of the peace! Ryan & Julia
I cannot say enough about JP Liz. She is AMAZING!!! The minute we meet her it felt like she was a part of the family. She made the whole process go so smoothly. I HIGHLY recommend her
JP Liz was absolutely AMAZING!! She was such a pleasure to work with. She went out of her way to meet with us at our house a few times in the months leading up to our wedding, and was always available by email to discuss anything. We felt an instant connection with her as soon as we met her. She captured everything that we wanted - and more - during our ceremony: it was short, sweet, personal, funny, perfect. A number of our guests even asked for her info so that she could officiate for them in the future. She even sent us a Valentine's Day card 2 months after our wedding. JP Liz is so sweet, funny, personable and the perfect officiant!
JP Liz is one of a kind. My husband and I went back and forth on if we should have a friend/family member marry us or if we should find a JP. We knew we wanted someone who could tell our story from their heart. JP Liz did that and so much more. We didn't know what to expect with putting a ceremony together but Liz made it as easy as ever. We met in person a couple of times to go through readings, flow, and she answered all of our questions. The stress of weddings can be a lot but Liz made sure that planning our ceremony was not one of those stresses! On top of it all, she is one of the sweetest, most kindhearted people you'll meet - who wouldn't want that type of person marrying them?! Seriously, give her a call and you won't be disappointed. Thank you for everything, Liz!!
Liz was excellent! She gave us so many ideas that helped make our ceremony specific to us. Our wedding party and family even loved her! I highly recommend working with her!
