since we live in Maine and our wedding was in NH she couldn’t. Then Ann was happy to help me and looked up on the NH website that my aunt could in fact still marry us if she applied for a one time marriage license for NH. I was so grateful for Ann for helping us through this even though she wasn’t even going to be officiating our wedding, she took the time to listen and help me out and she truly wanted to make sure that if I wanted my aunt to do it, there was a way!

e and worked with us through several edits to get the script just right. On the wedding day, she arrived on time and came dressed perfectly for the occasion; she looks great in the photos, smiling and pleasant, while also brilliantly managing to move out of the important shots. Her diction and cadence was notably good during the ceremony (lots of people teared up). We found her pricing to be quite fair for what she provides. She submitted the paperwork on our behalf immediately, so we received our license lightning fast with a cute printout of the ceremony script. Of all the vendors we hired, she was easily one of the best.

She approached the entire process with care and attention to detail. From the initial planning meetings to the final execution, she demonstrated a deep understanding of the significance of the moment and went above and beyond to ensure that everything was just right.

Throughout the entire ceremony she exuded warmth, grace, and a genuine love for what she does.
If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your wedding day an extraordinary experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Ann.

so many great resources for us, talked through what we hoped to see from a ceremony, and was able to help us take our vague ideas and focus them into a beautiful ceremony that we (and our guests!) loved.
