I wish I could give more than 5 stars because I would have given Steven 10 if I could. Steven should hands down, be your officiant. He is so kind, funny and professional, and absolutely exceptional at his job, Steven has been with us since May, since my husband and I eloped, and did our ceremony again in November. Every one of our guests kept asking us if Steven was a long time friend of ours, because of how personable and phenomenal he is at his work. So many commented on how beautiful our ceremony script was and how well done it was. Steven gave us a ceremony to remember and we are so grateful. 120% recommend booking Steven for your wedding ceremony, you will be overjoyed at the outcome!
From the day I first spoke to Steven I knew we found our guy. He made us both feel so comfortable and it felt like we knew him for years. He made the process so easy and probably the most thorough person I have met. Please consider Steven as your JOP. You will not be disappointed, I promise you.
My husband wanted to give his own review as well:
To say that Steven's reputation proceeds him is just not enough. This man is underpaid for the services he provides. From the great communication beforehand to the above and beyond he does on wedding day. This man literally was helping the photographer to get the perfect shots. He even laid my wife's dress at the perfect angle during our vows. 5-star review
Steven was amazing from the first call to the ceremony. He made everything so easy and he was kind throughout the entire process. We loved working with him and our guests have been raving about the ceremony and him ever since! He provided the guidance we needed and made our ceremony so memorable. We are thrilled to gain Steven as a friend!
Any questions?
I cannot recommend hiring Steven to officiate a wedding ceremony enough! Steven did our ceremony at the River Club in August 2024 and we were beyond thrilled with him. His communication was excellent the whole time - he had a specific timeline of when we would be in contact and he absolutely stuck to it. He is so professional but also warm and friendly, the perfect combination for a wedding vendor. He is an incredible writer and speaker. The ceremony he wrote for us was so special, touching, and personal, but also fun, quick, and lighthearted. He can project his voice like no other - every one of our 175 guests could hear him perfectly during our outside ceremony! You will not regret using Steven as your JP!
During a stressful wedding planning process, Steven made his portion of the planning stress free. He was very informational with what we needed to gather to get our wedding license and spoke to us about what we wanted.
Our ceremony was perfect!! Steven’s speech was beyond what we could have asked for. He added in some personal touches that put smiles on our guests faces. After our ceremony we were given so many compliments by our guests on his speech.
If you’re looking for a Justice of the Peace that’s helpful, well spoken, kind and all around the best option… I highly recommend booking Steven Martins!
Steven guided both my husband and I through the entire process leading up to our wedding. He was always very easy to communicate with, and took care of things in a very timely manner. During the ceremony itself, Steven prepared a wonderful service, and I have been hearing from guests still how much they truly loved it and thought what a perfect job he did. We genuinely cannot recommend him enough!!
We couldn't have asked for a better person to join us on our wedding day and marry us. Steve was very professional right from our first contact. He was always responsive and followed up calls with emails to make sure everything was correct. All of my family even commented how how he did such a beautiful job at our ceremony. He even took care of our marriage certificate that same night we got married. If you need someone to join you on your special day to get married, I highly recommend Steve. Thank you Steve for everything that you did to make our wedding day beautiful!!
We could not be happier! Steven did such an incredible job from start to finish. I had worked a wedding (i’m a photographer) with Steven and was lucky to be able to see him in action and immediately hired him after seeing him officiate. He carried himself with kindness and ease and was very thoughtful about every single moment of the ceremony and I said to myself; this is exactly what I need at my wedding, and he delivered!
Steven walked us through every step, getting the marriage license timed properly, all of the info we needed on where to go, he sent us a drafted script after we gave him a handful of details about our ceremony and ourselves. We were able to make adjustments and approve a final script. We were then contacted closer to the day of our wedding to follow up on any changes, or updates and the day of, Steven was very well prepared, arrived early, and guided us through our ceremony with love. He has a great sense of humor, is able to really read every moment and handle it with care.
Thank you again for your service!
To have Steven as our JOP was an honor and a pleasure. His professionalism and drive to give us our perfect ceremony was unrivaled. We appreciate how well he communicated, as well as his knowledge of the marriage process in Massachusetts. You will NOT be disappointed with him as your choice of officiant for your wedding.
Steven was incredible! He made us feel so comfortable and was so informative every step of the way. He made our ceremony both sweet and funny. Would recommend to anyone!
Steven is absolutely incredible! He is professional and personable - we felt like we knew him the first time we spoke to him. Our ceremony script was perfect - it was so genuine but also funny, which really helped calm our nerves! He was awesome to work with from start to finish.
Steve was so thoughtful and easy to work with! Our ceremony script was perfect!!
Steven was incredible from start to finish. His communication was perfect and he helped ease a lot of my wedding anxiety re: the ceremony. He took care of all the paperwork and explained the process in depth for me to make it easy to accomplish. He was receptive to what my husband and I wanted during the ceremony and was able to make suggestions when I was unsure what I wanted. His delivery was great during the ceremony and I got so many compliments on how kind he was. I would recommend him to anyone needing a Justice of the Peace.
I highly recommend Steven, he made the process a breeze, from the first email/phone call Steven explained exactly what we needed to do and how the process works, he answered all of our questions, I knew after that first conversation that we had made the right choice in going with a professional rather than having a family member/ friend fumbling through it along side us. Steven sent us a ceremony script that we added a few personal touches to which made it feel like it was written just for us. We did not have to memorize anything, Steven guided us through the ceremony seamlessly, he ad libbed a few things which made the ceremony feel more relaxed rather than stiffly sticking to a script, which was great. Steven had worked at our venue before and knew a few of our vendors which gave me confidence that the day would go smoothly. Choose Steven and have one less thing to worry about.
Everyone knows how stressful a wedding can be. So many worries and important decisions to make. As soon as Steve began the ceremony i knew we made the right decision. Our wedding ceremony was absolutely beautiful.. It was everything we had hoped for and more. Everything we had dreamt up in our heads leading up to our big day. We couldn't be happier. Steve is truly a master of his craft. So well spoken.. so professional. Steve made us feel so comfortable on such a nerve wracking day that we forgot anyone else was even there at all! We just want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for such beautiful ceremony and the perfect start to our perfect night.
Steven was helpful from the time I reached out to him. He answered all our questions and thoroughly explained the process through phone conversations and emails. He was also very flexible about adjusting the script in order for the ceremony to match our needs. I highly recommend Steven for his professionalism.
Steve was so nice and helpful throughout the whole process. He informed us of everything we needed to do to officially get our marriage license and when to do it in the state we got married. He also asked us questions to really get a feel for us as a couple and made sure to go over the plan for what he would say (pronunciation, vows, etc.).
He also went above and beyond to help us when we had an issue with the paperwork, going out of his way to meet with us despite being busy. We highly recommend him to officiate any wedding :)
Steven was absolutely amazing! He was very prompt on answering any questions. He made sure we knew every step and was extremely detailed on his process during the ceremony. We opted to not write our own vows and instead had Steven use his version and it was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. During our ceremony it rained (which we know now is good luck 😉) he projected his voice amazingly so all our guests could hear him and also stuck through the rain with us to finish the ceremony. I could not have asked for someone better to marry my husband and I. Also sent us a card after the ceremony to our home with more congratulations. He is amazing and so personable. If you’re looking for those qualities then trust me you cannot go wrong with having Steven being your officiant. 10/10 would HIGHLY recommend!!!
Steven made our wedding ceremony absolutely perfect! He was so professional & made every step in the planning process so easy! He is so well spoken & the sequence of the ceremony script he provided was perfect. He made the ceremony sentimental & memorable. We can't thank him enough!
Steven could not have done a better job officiating our wedding. From the early stages of planning, to the entusiasm he brought during the ceremony, to the post-ceremony follow up, he nailed it. We would highly recommend him for anyone look for an officiant. Thank you Steven!
Steven was one of our favorite people involved in our elopement! He was proactive and responsive. He offered us guidance and kept in touch through the entire ceremony process. We truly appreciated everything Steven did for us. We had the PERFECT ceremony!!
Absolutely amazing!! I was looking for a small and simple, untraditional wedding and Steven fulfilled that and more. We were so nervous and he just put us at ease and made us feel so relaxed. From the first time I spoke with him over the phone, I knew he was the right choice! He made us feel so special and reminded us that our way was the right way for us. So professional yet so down to earth. Thank you Steven for making us feel that much more special on our big day!
Steven was an amazing choice to officiant our wedding! He was helpful, responsive and kind throughout the planning process. He was also flexible and willing to add anything we wanted while also giving guidance on his experiences. On the wedding day he brought energy and life to the ceremony and made the day the very best. We had so many guests ask us where we found him and say how much they enjoyed his officiating! We are so pleased with our choice in him and would recommend him to anyone, you would not regret picking him!
Steven is amazing! Our guests had such wonderful things to say about him and our ceremony- specifically that he kept the energy upbeat and entertaining. Some of our guests even asked how long we had been friends with him! Steven also provides information on the steps to obtaining a marriage license, which was greatly appreciated because we had no idea how to do this. He pays great attention to detail and made sure we were standing directly beneath our arch so our photos would come out centered. Our ceremony flowed smoothly, which I attribute to Steven's calm but professional demeanor. He is an excellent Justice of the Peace and truly made our wedding ceremony one of my favorite moments of the day!
Steven was everything I could’ve dreamed of for an officiant and more! His kindness, level of detail, humor, and organization kept us feeling so at ease. He managed to make our ceremony sentimental and humorous when needed- I really couldn’t have imagined our ceremony going any smoother and would HIGLY recommend him for any couple looking for an officiant!
No question about it, Steven should be your next officiant! My husband and I struggled to find an officiant we connected with and really wanted someone who understood us. After FaceTiming Steven, we quickly realized that he was the officiant to match our vibe. He is extremely prompt, reliable, and organized. His professionalism gave us such confidence in an otherwise stressful process. Whenever we called with a question, he answered right away and was always gracious. He checked in on us to match sure we were on track which was helpful. He also provided a ceremony script and we added A LOT of personal details and religious components. Steven was more than happy to accommodate and even practiced to make sure it was to our liking. If there was an option to rate with more stars, Steven definitely deserves it. 10/10

Steven was PERFECT! He made the entire wedding ceremony and marriage certificate process very easy. He gave step by step instructions and timeline when it came to applying and receiving the marriage certificate. Come wedding day, he was on time, bright and friendly, and did amazing job during the ceremony. I highly recommend using his services.
Steven was very thorough, organized and personable He answered all of our questions and kept in contact with us all the way up until the day of the wedding. He was a pleasure to work with and everyone should book with him!
There are so many positive things that I can say about Steven. If I could give Steven more than 5 stars I would. Steven officiated our wedding in Bristol, RI and he was fantastic. He is incredibly organized, thoughtful, kind, and meets couples where they are at. He really values incorporating of a couple’s story and making the big day a special one for his clients. Steven makes couples feel at ease and makes sure everything is handled.
Steven- Thank you again, for everything. We could not have asked for a better person to officiate our wedding.

Steven was absolutely amazing and made our day so special! He communicates clearly through the entire process and made it so easy for us. Thank you, Steven!!
Steven was super nice, friendly, and professional. He was super flexible with our wedding script and had lots of templates and ideas for us to pick from. I felt I was in good hands the entire process. I would definitely recommend him.
My husband and I chose Steven as the officiant of our wedding, and we are so happy we did!!! We feel so lucky to have found him because he is truly THE BEST. From the first time we spoke, Steven made us feel extremely comfortable and at ease. He is so easy to talk to, very professional, and overall just a wonderful person to work with. He genuinely cares about the couples he works with and it absolutely shows. Steven took the time to get to know us, understand our story, making our ceremony feel incredibly personal, special, and memorable. He kept us on track with our marriage license and even provided all the information we needed to know in order to obtain it. It’s the little things like that, amongst so much planning chaos, that really make a difference. He even had tips and tricks to help keep my veil from flying away during my windy ceremony (!!!), again just showing how GREAT he is. We received so many compliments from our family and friends about how beautifully written and well-crafted our ceremony was. If you’re looking for a JP that will deliver you the most perfect ceremony, look no further. I would highly recommended Steven to anyone and everyone!! 🤍
Steven was the officiant at our wedding and we couldn't be happier that we went with him for our day. He was present and helpful throughout the process. After talking to him once we knew he was perfect for us and he delivered 100 times more than expected. He made the planning process seamless and guided us with clearly laying out every deadline and steps that we need to take.
More than that, he listened to our vision of the day and made the day even more special. His delivery the day of was thoughtful and heartwarming.
Steven was incredible. He made us feel comfortable, like he was an old friend we already had known. We felt like Steven really cared about making our day as smooth and successful as possible!
Steven was absolutely amazing. From the first moment we spoke we felt extremely comfortable and confident in Steven and knew he would deliver an amazing ceremony for us. Our ceremony was on 4/21/24 and Steven did not disappoint. Very professional and put us both at ease. If you are looking for an officiant that is truly passionate about making your ceremony amazing and unforgettable Steven would be the perfect choice. ❤️
Steven was amazing! I originally found him from a recommendation of a different JP and so glad we did. He was so easy to get in contact with. When we talked on the phone he was SO friendly, but in a genuine way. I consider myself a shy introvert but Steven made me feel like somebody I knew for years. When we got close to the wedding he checked in and assured me he would arrive early. On the day of he was great. He worked great with the photographer so she would know the cues of how the ceremony was going to work. His ceremony was perfect. He also mentioned to me during our initial phone call that he loves private ceremonies (which is what i did) and I could tell he was in his element. I'll definitely recommend him to anyone in the area!
We booked Steve early on in the planning process for our destination wedding but ended up finding a priest, given our catholic background. I am so bummed we aren't using Steve, he was the vendors we were most confident in! His professionalism, attention to detail, responsiveness, strong communication and wonderful personality made us book immediately. His expertise is immediately apparent and his calm, reassuring personality is a huge bonus. Anyone would be luck to be married by him!
Steve was great! A lot of people commented on how well he did. He made us both feel comfortable up there and we are so happy we chose him to be a part of our day.
We could not have been happier having Steven as our JoP! Steven is incredibly professional and personable. After our first conversation with him, we knew we wanted him to be part of our special day.
Steven walked us through every detail and answered all of our questions. He is an excellent communicator and very knowledgeable. We were immediately confident that he was the right choice for us.
Steven wrote a beautiful and perfect ceremony. He incorporated the few details we requested seamlessly and without hesitation. There were also great moments of shared laughter at just the right times. It felt like we personally knew each other, and all of our guests thought we did! Despite having just met that day, it was as if we had an old friend officiating our wedding. Our guests complimented him all night!
Steven genuinely cares and it shows in the time and effort he spends communicating with you, to the truly heartfelt delivery of his words. We are so thankful to have Steven be part of our wedding day and cannot recommend him enough. Thank you, Steven!
Steven is the absolute best! He has a gift for marrying people. Steven is an exceptional communicator, a delight to be around, and extremely thorough with the entire process. He helped make our day truly special. You can tell he has such passion for what he does. I was blown away by his words for us, and how kind and sweet he is. Steven really takes the time to get to you know you. He even accommodated meeting us in person. We talked for quite a bit of time and you felt nothing but his positive good natured energy. I am so extremely impressed by him and my husband and I were honored to have him officiate our wedding. I highly recommend Steven for your ceremony.
We hired Steven for our wedding ceremony in Boston. We could not recommend Steven enough! Steven was helpful, knowledgeable, and kind throughout the whole process. After our first call, he sent us instructions on the entire marriage license process, which we knew nothing about, so he made it easy. After our discussion he sent us an initial draft for a ceremony script based on what we had discussed. He did this promptly. We were excited we wanted to make the script more personal to our story and wanted to shorten some things. So we hopped on a call and shared our story with Steven. He really took the time to listen, ask questions, and truly get to know us and our story. We let him take it from there and he nailed it. Any adjustment we wanted was made with ease. On the day of, Steven felt like someone we personally knew. He delivered the script beautifully, so much so, that we had dozens of guests after the ceremony come up to us and ask us who he was and how we knew him(is he a friend, and family member). Even though it was the first day we had met Steven he made it feel like we knew him for years to not only us but our guests too. Highly highly recommend!
Steven went above and beyond for my husband and I's wedding this past weekend. He was so invested in our story and created a beautiful ceremony with us. He helped us through the marriage license process and offered incredible advice regarding our ceremony, making every step as easy as possible for us. The script he drafted was excellent and he added our own personal anecdotes with open arms. Our guests raved about him all night to us and we were so happy to include him in our special day. If you're looking for someone who will put time, effort, care, and love into your wedding ceremony then look no further...Steven is the perfect officiant!

Steven was absolutely amazing! My husband and I did a unity candle ceremony along with a vow renewal and it was the most beautiful ceremony. All of our guests were coming up to us after and fawning over the words he wrote and the vows he wrote for us. He was so patient and gentle. He was so helpful while we were up there to make sure we didn’t forget anything or miss a step and he spoke so elegantly. We couldn’t be more thankful for having him officiate our ceremony. Thank you!!

I cannot recommend Steven enough! We had such a wonderful time working with him. We planned our wedding in 2 weeks and he put us at ease right off the bat. It was super easy to communicate with him and he offered some fantastic ideas that helped make our day perfect! He even sent me a draft script for small edits, but I barely made any because what he wrote was so beautiful. Everyone keeps talking about how amazing our ceremony was, and they even thought we were old friend with Steven because of how friendly and easy it all was! He was super wonderful and professional and didn't let on to all the little things my partner and I were saying to each other throughout the ceremony, no matter how silly they were. Honestly, do yourself a favor and have Steven marry you!! Thanks again Steve!

We hired Steven Martins for our ceremony 11/12/23. I had made our expectations clear & he went above and beyond to meet those expectations. He was kind, honest, and hilarious. We knew he had a ceremony a little earlier in the day so he would be cutting it close & although it was closer than he preferred he was there exactly when he said he would ready to go like he had been there all afternoon. He truly nailed our ceremony & made it a perfect memory to never be forgotten. 10/10 amazing job

Steven made our ceremony perfect. From the moment I reached out to him he kept in communication with me leading up to our big day. He clearly explained the process from applying for our license, day of, and what to expect after the wedding. My new husband and I highly recommend couples to work with Steven for their wedding.

Thank you Molly for your kind words. Making the process easy and smooth is what I always try to do for everyone and I am happy that the both of you had a great ceremony. Thank you for trusting me with your big day. Congrats again!
Steven was amazing! He was eloquent, clear, on time and very well spoken. He was the simplest part of the wedding process. From the beginning, he was clear with what to expect from him during the ceremony. He answered every question we had and made every adjustment we asked including a moment of silence. He even gave instructions on how to get the official license. His words moved everyone at our ceremony. He had a nice loud voice with control and feeling which was what we were looking for. He was very timely with handing in the marriage license to the town. Overall, just a honest nice man!

As if our day couldn't have been any more perfect, Steven ensured that our ceremony was flawless! We are so happy that Steven was able to be a part of our day and he truly made our wedding ceremony special. Steven shared his script for the day so we were able to review the flow of the ceremony beforehand which we really appreciated. We had 3 readings during the ceremony that he had prepared for our readers. He is funny, keeps things lighthearted without diminishing the importance of the commitment of the marriage ceremony, and several of our guests agreed that he was the perfect addition to our day.
Steven made sure to deliver our marriage license the day following our ceremony. Everything went smoothly!
Book Steven for your ceremony, you won't regret it!!

Steven was the best decision we made for our wedding! He was professional, organized down to every detail, patient, kind, and most importantly FUN!

Thank you for the great review Felicia! I loved your ceremony at Bittersweet Farms and I appreciate you trusting me with this process and allowing me to guide you through it all. Congrats again!
Steven is the absolute BEST. He is so organized, detailed, and makes the process incredibly easy and smooth. We could not have picked anyone better to be our officiant. Not only was the lead up to the wedding incredibly easy, but his friendly manner and humor calmed our nerves so much during the actual ceremony. We had multiple people come up to us during the wedding asking for his information for their future weddings. We HIGHLY recommend Steven!!

We could not have picked anyone better than Steven Martins! The vows he wrote were so beautiful and he made everything about our ceremony that much more special.

We truly feel that Steven made our ceremony perfect! He made the whole process very easy, was responsive, willing to help with any questions we had, and made us feel so confident about our ceremony. He was a pleasure to work with and our guests loved him too! We’re so happy that he was our officiant!

Thank you, Allison. It's important to me to ensure we make this as easy and smooth as possible, and that I always do! Thank you for trusting me with your big day and letting me guide you through it all. Congrats again!
Steven was AWESOME ! Not only did he write the most beautiful vows for us he was also there guiding us from day one. He was so knowledgeable and professional. If you are looking for a JP Steven is the guy for you. Highly recommend!

Sending hugs and love to the both of you too! Thanks for the thoughtful review and letting me guide you through this fun and exciting process. Wishing you both all the best and happiness. Stay in touch!
I highly recommended Steven if needing someone to officiant your wedding. When I first talked to Steven to go over the wedding I felt like we knew each other for years. Steven is very down to earth, humble and kind. Steven really puts thought and details into the creation of the ceremony. I’m so happy I chose Steven to be our officiant. You will not regret your decision by doing the same.

preciate the both of you and congrats again, Marybeth!
Steven was one of the best decisions my husband and I made for our wedding. We went back and forth on whether or not to have a family/friend officiate or to hire a professional. Steven is a professional who truly comes off as if you’ve known him for years! We had family coming up to us asking how long we’ve known him for because they thought he was a longtime friend of ours. We had friends asking if he does motivational speaking because he was so moving. So many of our guests when we talk about our day still bring up how amazing Steven was.
When it came time to choose a JP, Steven was the second person we reached out to when the first wasn’t a great match. We set up a phone call where he walked us through absolutely everything and answered any questions we had. We got a great vibe from the call and decided to book! Best decision! He sent us the “script” for the ceremony for us to read over and make any changes. He walks you through the marriage license process. He checks all of the boxes and makes it as easy and smooth as possible.
When it came to the ceremony- I was a nervous reck and he made us feel so comfortable. His words are beautiful but also managed to make the room laugh a few times. The perfect balance.
I truly can not say enough good things! I would recommend to anyone and everyone.

The right person to have with you on an important day!! Steve is a true professional. He was there for us throughout the process & available to answer any questions. We didn't have a thing to worry about! Excellent ceremony, Thank you Steve!

I would never let you or any other couple down on your big day. Thank you for giving me the honors and allowing me to do my thing and get you married. It was such a beautiful day and a great ceremony. Congrats my friends!
Steven was professional from start to finish while also being personable. He did a fantastic job with keeping in touch throughout the entire process and made our day stress-free. Our ceremony was our favorite part of the day and we can thank Steven for that. It was organized, easy, and his script was beautifully said. Thank you Steven for making our day so memorable! We highly recommend!!
Response from the Vendor on 11/17/2023
Making the process easy and smooth is something I take seriously when explaining to all couples. I will get you to that finish line without any stress and a beautiful ceremony to remember. Thank you for trusting me and allowing me to guide you ...
through it all. Congrats again and wishing you all the happiness!
Steven was the absolute best! He was so clear explaining the process to us, he listened and gave us opportunities to make changes if we wanted (which we didn't need to do because he is awesome and everything was perfect), checked in with us all the time, answered all of my questions and just made our day so special and stress free. We are so grateful for him and all he did for us to make our ceremony absolutely perfect.

Thank you Jackie for the review. Congrats again!!
Steven is an amazing officiant. We will recommend him to everyone.He is the friendliest and easiest person to communicate with. He is quick at responding and always on top of everything leading up to the ceremony day. Our ceremony was beyond amazing and was above our expectations. A moment we will never forget thanks to Steven making it that way.
Response from the Vendor on 11/17/2023
You're pretty amazing yourself Monica. Thank you for the nice review and letting me be a part of your special day. Cheers to a lifetime of happiness together!
Steven did an incredible job at our wedding. He was not just somebody that was available the day of, he worked with us on everything leading up to our wedding day and lifted a massive weight off our shoulders. Friends and family after the ceremony would not stop talking about how great Steven was. If he is available for your big day, I would strongly recommend him!
Response from the Vendor on 11/17/2023
Love the pictures! Now everyone knows I love my selfies with couples, ha! Thank you again for trusting me with your special day and giving me the honors. Congrats again friends!
Steve went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect! He was the first and only justice of the peace that we spoke with and we knew right after our first phone call that Steve would be the perfect fit for our wedding. He made everything so easy for us and is very personable and well spoken. Our guests were so impressed with our ceremony thanks to Steve! We will be recommending Steve to all engaged couples that we know!!

Hi Hannah! Thank you for taking the time for this review and your thoughtful words. I had a great time working with the both of you through this process and putting on a great ceremony. Congrats again!
We enjoyed working with Steven. He was professional, comprehensive with details and very timely. He took the time to get to know us and incorporate those details into our ceremony. He also went above and beyond to ensure we had all the necessary information for obtaining our marriage license.
Response from the Vendor on 11/17/2023
Thank you Jeremy! Congrats again to the both of you and thank you for taking the time for this nice review.
Our wedding ceremony was absolutely perfect, and so much of that is because of how wonderful, kind, and caring Steven is. We had multiple guests and our family comment on how his words and vibe seemed to match us perfectly. We even teared up just reading his draft! He goes off-script when needed to lighten the mood and make people laugh. He used the themes in our personal vows even though he hadn’t heard them before. Just absolutely a great guy and the perfect person to conduct a wonderful ceremony. Can’t recommend him enough!
Response from the Vendor on 11/17/2023
Thank you for the kind and thoughtful review, Nicole. I had a great time marrying the both of you! Wishing you all the best and a lifetime of happiness! Congrats again!
I highly recommend Steven. From the initial email requesting his service, he replied within a timely manner. He reached out multiple times to check in and ask if we had any questions. He was also very accommodating. His emails were very detailed and left me with no unanswered questions. The words spoken during the ceremony were beautiful and personable. He is organized, attentive, professional, and fun to work with. I appreciated him sneaking out of the way for our first kiss as well, we didn’t even have to ask! Thank you so much Steve, we couldn’t have asked for a better ceremony!
Response from the Vendor on 11/17/2023
Making the process easy and smooth is something I take seriously. Planning a wedding can be so stressful and I do my best to be as detailed and get you to the finish line without any stress. Thank you for trusting me with this process and givin...
g me the honors, Nicole. Cheers!
Steven was amazing. The vows he put together for our wedding day were so beautiful. We were so nervous to repeat our vows but Steven made it so easy for us. It honestly felt like he was a member of our family up there. Highly recommend! Thank you Steven.
Response from the Vendor on 11/17/2023
Thank you Carla! Being nervous and feeling all these different emotions is normal on your big day. I am glad I made the both of you feel comfortable with me and had a beautiful ceremony. Congrats again!
Steven was awesome! Made the whole process smooth, was very professional, and is great at what he does. We had many guests give us compliments on the job that he did at our ceremony. I highly recommend Steven for anyone looking for a Justice of the Peace who will deliver memorable remarks, captivate your guests, and make your wedding ceremony as special as possible. 10/10
Response from the Vendor on 11/17/2023
What a great day, Greg. Thank you for giving me the honors and trusting me with this process. Wishing you and your beautiful family all the best and happiness!
Steven was everything we could have asked for. The moment we spoke on the phone I knew he was our guy. He was very thorough from start to finish. His personality is fantastic and he just has this bright fun aura. After the ceremony our guests complimented how beautifully written his script was and how well he delivered it. The whole process could not have been any better. As he arrived to the venue, Steven came and checked on my husband and myself and made sure everyone was ready. I’ve already recommended Steven to many friends and family who are looking to get married. We truly could not have asked for a better JP for our wedding. We are forever grateful!
Response from the Vendor on 11/17/2023
I truly couldn't have asked for two better people to marry. The both of you were amazing and I was so happy to be a part of your big day. I had a great time meeting your family. They were awesome and fun! Thank you again Bailey and congrats!
When I found Steven Martins on the Knot I was blown away by his reviews. I was so excited that he had the date of our wedding open (always worth an ask- he does book quickly). He was quick to respond and we set up a phone call for the same weekend! Talking to Steven on the phone I instantly realized that he was not only the person I wanted to officiate our wedding, he was also the ONLY person I wanted to do it. Talking to him was like talking to a friend, it was easy and flowed well. He had a vision for our day and sent over a script which I read through and adored. I must say, however, it was EVEN BETTER in person. I thought that the best part of our wedding would be the party but it was the ceremony. Steven Martins has the perfect wit, genuine caring, and fast thinking to keep a ceremony moving without awkward moments ( we were worried because we didn't rehearse and we were both VERY nervous for the ceremony). The things that Steven said during our ceremony are still in my head clear as can be, and that was almost two months ago. He made it all so special. It felt so real, and when Steven spoke I felt like it was only me and my partner in the room. It was so intimate. In Steven's words I saw my future with my husband, I saw what marriage really is and the commitment it holds and why we have weddings and what really matters about them.
After the wedding I had tons of family members and friends come to me asking how I found him. They all loved the ceremony and many said he was the best officiant and it was the best ceremony they had been present for. I may be biased but it was the best ceremony in the world to me.
I have regrets about certain aspects of my wedding (don't we all? ) but there is no doubt in my mind that the best decision I made besides marrying my husband was hiring Steven Martins to officiate it. Thank you so much!!!

Thank you Lindsey! Reviews make a big difference to couples. It gives them reassurance that their ceremony will be in good hands with me. This review will also be helpful. Me saying it is one thing, but hearing it from couples that have worked ...
with me is another. I appreciate these amazing words and I was so blessed to be a part of your special day. It was a great day!! Thank you again and I hope the both of you are doing well and settling in!
Steven was the perfect fit for our wedding! We had several phone calls throughout the planning process leading up to the wedding to make sure we were all good to go. He even sent reminders on when to get your marriage license and directions on how to obtain it. He also sent the script for our wedding beforehand so that we could look it over and make any changes we wanted to it. Steven was always available for us when we had questions and was super helpful throughout the planning process. We didn't know Steven personally but you would have never known at the wedding. He did such an amazing job and he is a total natural at this! I personally asked for an unplugged ceremony in which Steven fully supported and even took the time to make the announcement before the ceremony started. I am not sure exactly what he said but I know it worked because there was not ONE cellphone in any of our wedding photos!! I would highly recommend Steven to be a part of your special day!!

Hi Abigail! Thank you for this thoughtful review. It was a beautiful ceremony and I was so honored to be a part of it. Doing a unplugged ceremony makes a big difference on your special day, especially for photos. You always have a few people tr...
ying to sneak a picture or two and it throws off your professional photo's. I have a unique and special way to make that announcement and it works every time! Your photo's came out beautiful! Congrats again and thank you for letting me be a part of it!
WOW!!! What can I say.
Steven was absolutely AMAZING!!!
From our first conversation he made me feel so comfortable like I’ve known him forever.
He’s very kind, friendly, genuine and professional in every way. He was incredible to work with from start to finish.
He made the whole process easy, stress free and most importantly fun.
Our ceremony was everything we could have imagined.
Thank you so much for making our day wonderful.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
