Justice of the Peace Steven Martins

. Saphire Estate recommended Steven, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made during planning. From our very first conversation, he took the time to get to know us: how we met, what matters to us, and what we wanted our guests to feel. He listened closely and made us feel genuinely seen. Steven did an amazing job getting us ready for the big day. He walked us through every part of the ceremony, answered every question with patience, and handled all the legal details as a Justice of the Peace so we never had to think about them. By the time the wedding arrived, the ceremony was the one thing we weren’t worried about. The moment that made us tear up was when Steven brought our rescue dogs, Ace and Baxter, into the ceremony. They’re a huge part of our story, and he honored them in a way that was thoughtful and touching, never gimmicky. Our guests loved it, and so many of them mentioned it afterward. Above all, Steven kept us calm. His steady, reassuring presence settled our nerves before the ceremony and guided us through every moment of it. Because of him, we didn’t have to think about what came next. We got to simply be present with each other and take it all in. Winnie told me afterward that she felt calm the whole time, and she knew it was because of Steven. The ceremony itself was warm, heartfelt, and perfectly paced. Steven told our story in a way our friends and family recognized as truly us, balancing the meaning of the moment with warmth and lightness. Guests came up to us all night saying it was one of the most personal ceremonies they’d ever seen, and several asked for his name to pass along. Steven was professional and reliable from start to finish: responsive, prepared, on time, and seamlessly coordinated with the venue. To future couples: tell Steven your story, including the little details. He’ll know exactly how to use them. And on the day, lean on his calm presence. He’s got you. Steven, thank you for preparing us so carefully, for keeping us calm, and for honoring Ace and Baxter in a way that meant the world to us. You didn’t just officiate our wedding; you made it ours. With gratitude, Raffi & Winnie

riendliness made the ceremony less stressful. I would without a doubt 100% recommend Steven for anyone’s ceremony.

e and down to earth, but his communication was top notch throughout the entire process. He explained everything in detail, sent us reminders along the way, and did so much more than just marrying us at the altar, he was our guide for the entire marriage license process and even felt like a friend! We’re so grateful for Steven, as his performance at the altar was so professional, organized, and at times funny! We never had to worry if Steven was on the same page, he took care of everything and delivered on everything he promised. We shared some laughs during our ceremony as he has a great sense of humor as well. On the day of the wedding, Steven was there early chatting up guests and making sure everyone felt comfortable. He even left us a card / gift in our card box! We can’t thank you enough Steven, we recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding - you couldn’t possibly do better with anyone else! 

recommend anyone more than him! Truly the best!! 

re was put into every detail. Steve took the time to make our ceremony feel personal and meaningful to us as a couple, while also adding the perfect amount of warmth and humor. We felt so comfortable and truly enjoyed every moment. Evan and I are so grateful to have had you be such an important part of our wedding day. Steve helped make our ceremony unforgettable, and we would wholeheartedly recommend them to any couple! We are so grateful and appreciative for how much thought and all the time put into our wedding the months leading up to our wedding day 🤍🤍 Steve’s the best and you will not be disappointed !!

remony feel truly special, and we couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. We would 100% recommend Steven to anyone without any hesitation at all. Thank you so much, Steven! 

He helped us feel completely comfortable throughout the process, and so many of our guests commented on what a lovely ceremony it was. We truly couldn’t have been happier and would wholeheartedly recommend Steven to any couple looking for a kind, professional, and engaging officiant. Thank you for being such an important part of our special day!

k care of all the admin that needed to get done for our marriage license and we didn't have to worry about a thing. He allowed us to make our ceremony our own by editing the script back and forth, he was game for any ideas we had and helped polish it. On the day of, he showed up dressed to the nines, with a huge smile on his face. He made the script come to life, he made our guests feel welcome, he fixed my dress. Steven fully understands the assignment and goes above and beyond. The ceremony was our favorite part of our wedding and so meaningful thanks to Steven Martins!

remony that exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend him. The benefits of choosing Steven began far in advance of our wedding date, when he remained very responsive, helped us envision the ceremony with a script and worked with us to tweak it to perfection. On the day of our wedding, he arrived with a comforting and confident demeanor that put us at ease. When the ceremony began, his skill as a celebrant and orator became immediately apparent. His words and affect maintained a strong emotional sentiment, clear reverence for the moment, and well-timed inspiring energy. Multiple guests noted the energy and environment that Steven was able to manifest for our union. It made the experience that much more memorable.

er JP during an inquiry and from there it was an easy yes! Steven’s communication is top tier and he makes the entire process so seamless. As someone who is very Type A and huge on small details - I did not have to think about anything. Our initial ceremony script draft was beautiful and we changed only one sentence. The day of execution was also  great. Our ceremony was beautiful and Steven really knows how to include guests and speak to a group. He was kind to our son, and worked well with our photographer. He was mindful of timing, spoke eloquently, and spoke so much love into our ceremony. Our day would not have been complete without him! 

ds far above the rest. There is quite literally not a better choice we could have made for our wedding than to have had Steven as our officiant. To those who are considering him, there is nobody better to completely take care of you and support you through the legal and ceremonial parts of your wedding!

ered every question we had, and made us feel completely comfortable every step of the way. Before choosing Steven, we spoke with several other officiants, but none of them gave us the same feeling. With Steven, it was obvious that he genuinely cared about making our wedding day beautiful and meaningful not just showing up to do a job. We never felt like we were just another couple on his calendar. He truly invested his time and heart into getting to know us and creating a ceremony that reflected who we are. One of the things that impressed us most was how personal he made our ceremony. We shared a few fun facts and the story of our relationship, and he turned them into the most beautiful ceremony script. It captured our journey perfectly and felt like it was written just for us. We also wanted to honor loved ones who are no longer with us, and while other officiants we spoke with didn’t seem interested in including those special touches, Steven was more than willing to incorporate whatever was important to us. He wanted our ceremony to be exactly what we envisioned, and that meant the world to us. He found the perfect balance of heartfelt and lighthearted, making everyone laugh and cry at just the right moments. We have had so many guests tell us it was one of the best wedding ceremonies they have ever attended, and so many specifically mentioned how beautiful and personal the ceremony was. Steven also took care of everything behind the scenes, including filing our marriage license, which made the process completely seamless. We never had to worry about a thing because we knew everything was in great hands. If you’re looking for an officiant who truly cares about your love story and wants to create a ceremony that is personal, meaningful, and unforgettable, Steven is the one. We are beyond grateful he was part of our wedding day and couldn’t imagine anyone else officiating our marriage. Thank you, Steven, for giving us a ceremony we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives.

ve, diligent, and extremely kind. I would highly recommend him to officiate your wedding. Thank you so much again Steven!

sure that to include every little thing special about us even though we gave him so little information about us. His professionalism and elegance played a big part and I’m so glad he was the one who married us. I can’t thank him enough for making our day more special. 

before the wedding are so busy; he took care of everything from the script, to the marriage license and made our ceremony everything we wanted it to be. I could not recommend him more! :)

ect and I can’t thank him enough. The atmosphere was so comfortable that Steven became a guest not just our officiant. I can’t recommend him enough!

ference during such an emotional and exciting moment. He delivered every word beautifully and made the ceremony feel incredibly personal and meaningful. One thing we especially appreciated was how discreetly he guided us whenever needed — nothing ever felt awkward or staged. He also took the time to genuinely get to know the people at our wedding, which made everything feel warm and natural rather than just formal. We are so grateful he was part of our day and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone thoughtful, professional, and heartfelt.

an expert on the whole process and helped guide us through it all the way to the submission of the marriage license. We didn’t have to worry about a thing from the officiating perspective. Highly recommend Steven! 

He regularly checked in with us leading up to the wedding, which helped us feel prepared during such a busy time. During the ceremony, he spoke beautifully and created a moment that felt truly personal and meaningful. Steven has a calm and reassuring presence, which helped us relax and fully enjoy the moment. He made our ceremony feel incredibly special, and we’re so grateful he was part of our day. We highly recommend Steven to any couple looking for a thoughtful and professional officiant.

n just an officiant. His attention to detail is impeccable, and he truly went above and beyond to ensure we felt prepared. What we appreciated most were the thoughtful reminders he sent leading up to the big day and in the chaos of wedding planning, those check-ins kept us organized and significantly eased our stress. During the ceremony itself, Steven provided a calming presence that allowed us to actually stay present and enjoy the moment. His words during the ceremony captured my husband's and I's relationship perfectly and overall he spoke so beautifully and handled everything with such grace. If you are looking for an officiant who is organized, kind, and genuinely invested in making your process smooth, Steven is the one and I cannot recommend him enough!

k that perfect balance of heartfelt and light. We remember looking at each other and saying, “If we ever get married, we want him.” Fast forward to our own very last-minute decision to elope - and we were thrilled (and honestly a little shocked) that Steven was available. From the start, he was warm, organized, and genuinely invested. He took the time to schedule a call to really get to know Kevin and me, asking thoughtful questions and listening closely so he could craft something that actually felt like us. He stayed in touch throughout the entire process, which made everything feel calm and easy — exactly what you hope for when you’re planning something meaningful on a tight timeline. On the day of our ceremony, he arrived early, impeccably dressed, and completely unfazed by the frigid cold and falling snow. He braved the elements with us and delivered a ceremony that was intimate, sincere, and absolutely beautiful. It felt personal and intentional in every way. We couldn’t be more grateful to have had him stand with us that day, and we truly consider him part of our story now. We recommend Steven wholeheartedly. If you’re lucky enough to have him officiate your wedding, you’re in very good hands.

inish. He stayed in touch leading up to the wedding, helped with helpful reminders around marriage license timing, and made the entire process stress free. Our ceremony felt fun, upbeat, personal, and so meaningful, everything we hoped for! Even after the wedding, Steve truly feels like a friend, which says so much about who he is. We couldn’t recommend him more and only wish we had an excuse to use him again! 😊

ven worked closely with us to create a personalized script that included meaningful anecdotes. In addition to keeping our ceremony perfectly unplugged, he gave us the space to share our own vows and did an excellent job at keeping the ceremony flowing. Our guests told us it was one of the best ceremonies they had ever attended and that Steven was the best officiant they had ever seen. We are truly grateful he was part of our day!

e ceremony to navigating the marriage license paperwork. On the wedding day, Steven was fantastic. He offered kind words of encouragement to calm our nerves, delivered a beautifully balanced ceremony, and had everyone engaged with well-timed humor and thoughtful words. We received many compliments from our guests. Some even asked if he was a close friend or family member because the ceremony felt so natural and personal. Afterward, Steven stayed to chat with our guests, which we loved. His warmth and professionalism truly made our day special. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant and would recommend him wholeheartedly to any couple looking for someone who brings sincerity, joy, and confidence to their ceremony.

out the entire process. Even the planners at our venue spoke highly of him and said they always loved to work with him. Highly recommend having Steven for your wedding! 

tandard of professionalism. All of our guest were ranting it was one of the best ceremonies that they have been to! 

for a smooth wedding ceremony. Would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant. 

oactive in keeping us on a timeline leading up to our wedding. When we decided to add a unity ceremony with a PB&J sandwich he quickly edited his script and ran with the idea. We had countless guest come up to us commenting on how lovely the ceremony was and how eloquent Steven had been. We highly recommend Steven for those who wish for that personal touch and care on your big day.

d my grandfather who recently passed away into our ceremony which was so special and kept the day happy but sentimental at the same time. Steven was amazing and made our wedding day everything we wanted ! 

though we only connected over the phone before the wedding, it never felt like we were speaking to a stranger, he was kind, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our day special. The words he shared during our ceremony were heartfelt and beautiful, making the moment feel personal and meaningful. It truly felt like we were being married by a friend. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Steven to anyone looking for someone who brings warmth and professionalism to such an important day.
