Perfection! I’m embarrassed to even admit this but when we first started planning our wedding the officiant was not on the top of my “important” list and I just picked someone the venue had listed. Enter Martha! How lucky we were to have picked...

her and that she was available. When we first met her to talk about the ceremony we walked away with butterflies in our stomachs. She was so sweet and gentle and asked meaningful questions and really listened to our story. I cry thinking about how special she really made our ceremony and how important having a good officiant really is. She included so many important details of our journey in the ceremony even including our 2 dogs and our special nicknames our nephew calls us. She made sure all our 4 boys were included and just really captured the love and passion we have shared for 20 years so beautifully in a short time! I tear up thinking of how perfect it was and it would not have been that way without her. It was like she had known us the entire 20 year relationship. If you’re looking for a beautiful officiant who can capture your love and portray that to your guests in the short time a ceremony is then Martha is your person. We could not have dreamed of anything better. There wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd!

nents, readings, and vows for us to create the ceremony we wanted with minimal stress. Before we picked a JP, I was kind of worried what it would be like for a relative stranger to officiate our wedding (we had an intimate ceremony with just our parents and siblings), but as soon as we met Martha, I knew we had made the right choice!

Martha went above and beyond as our wedding officiant. We were initially apprehensive about someone we didn’t know being such a huge part of our wedding day, but as soon as we met Martha, we knew we had made the right choice. Martha met with us...

at our convenience to get to know us better, and from our conversation crafted the most beautiful wedding ceremony we could have hoped for. Dozens of guests commented on how beautiful her words were! Martha was kind, punctual, and very encouraging to an anxious bride like myself, and we truly cannot say enough good things about her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a JP to officiate their wedding.

We have nothing but positive things to say about Martha. We found Martha on a wedding website, read reviews, and decided to meet with her to see if it would be a good fit for us. We are not religious people, and honestly, going about picking ...

a JP, we had no idea what to be asking, looking for, etc. When we first met with Martha a year and a half before our wedding, it felt as if we were meeting with a family member. Martha is easy to talk to, warm, and inviting. She didn’t push anything on us, or tell us to do anything a certain way, but really listened to us, what we were looking for in our laid-back type ceremony, and made recommendations based on us. She really showed us that she was the right fit for what we were going for. We met with her again, and communicated through email leading up to our big day. Martha was always extremely prompt in replying to emails, within minutes sometimes! She added nice touches throughout the ceremony, and really knew how to make it special. Our guests were coming up to us the entire reception saying how perfect the ceremony was, and that it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever witnessed. Martha honestly made us feel so special, and we are so glad that we had her at our special day.

Martha was fantastic to work with. Very attentive to our needs and there whenever we needed her. She listened to what we wanted and was able to build off of what our vision was. She is very sweet and was thoughtful with what she said during the...

ceremony. During our time with Martha prior to the ceremony, she asked us about our style; which for us is a mix of sweet and funny. She took that along with the numerous stories we shared with her (we talk a lot) and was able to craft a few things to say during the ceremony that captured us perfectly. We specifically left those pieces for her to create and surprise us on the day of the event with. She would definitely have stuck to a script if we asked her to, but personally, I am glad that we didn’t. The personalization she added was way beyond what we could have written ourselves and made it even more special for us and those attending. Highly recommend Martha!!!

I wanted to do some type of Disney quotes and hand fasting- and within a week Martha sent me a draft of what the ceremony could be, which included different options for the ceremony and some amazing Disney quotes! Throughout the next couple of weeks Martha answered all (and there were many) of my emails, and we must have changed the script atleast 5 times, to which Martha was always so patient with me. Fast forward to our wedding day. Martha came dressed to impressed, and immediately calmed me with encouragement before the ceremony. I decided at the very last minute that I wanted to have my aunt do the hand fasting instead of her, and again Martha was super okay with making whatever I wanted to happen. Martha during the ceremony was amazing. I cant even tell you how many people complimented me on our amazing Justice of the Peace.
