Wanda Chiles - Justice of the Peace

over again! Thank you Wanda!

we had. We had our initial meeting a few months out from the wedding and during that meeting Wanda really helped us plan the perfect ceremony. She is an expert and so professional. She had examples of portions of the ceremony which helped us shape exactly what we wanted. She crafted a personalized ceremony that captured our love story. The day of the wedding Wanda was prompt and checked in with us at our bridal suite. She held our personal vow books for us during the ceremony until we needed them, and then during the vows she stepped away to ensure the photographs captured just us two saying our personal vows. I know this will make for a wonderful photo! She also stepped out of the frame when we had our first kiss as husband and wife, again ensuring the photographers captured just us. These details may seem so small, but we appreciated it so much. Our guests raved about how beautiful the ceremony was. We would recommend Wanda to anybody looking for an officiant!

She is easy to talk to and extremely responsive. Couldn't recommend Wanda more!

lpful in the wedding process and worked with incorporating our two families cultures into the ceremony while keeping it with the time length that we wanted. She also provided me support on the paperwork I needed and how to change my name once we were married. Wanda has such a friendly and bubbly personality and is the sweetest. We are so glad we had her at our wedding!

which so so special and meaningful to me. Wanda is very elegant and clear in her speech. She also assisted us with the process to obtain a wedding license and name change paperwork.

reating a special and unique ceremony for us! We were right – we wanted a non-denomination ceremony that incorporated nods to both of our religious heritages (Catholic and Jewish), and she helped us craft something that was special and meaningful, and exactly what we wanted! She was very comforting through the whole process, constantly telling me “you’re not allowed to apologize because you’re the bride!” On the day of the wedding, she was very professional and did a wonderful job, and you can tell through every step of the process that she really loves what she does!

she does. She made us feel so special leading up to our day and in front of all of our family and friends. She did an amazing job sharing our love story and I felt so comfortable walking into my ceremony knowing that was her goal. If she is available for your wedding date, book her!!!!!

to elope at Winvian Farm in CT instead! Wanda was so incredibly helpful throughout our somewhat rushed planning process. She was extremely quick to reply to any questions we had and kept us looped in on everything we would need for the ceremony. On the day of our wedding, we could not have been happier with her work! My hair/makeup was running late and Wanda was so sweet and patient - never making me feel rushed and always telling me that a bride should never have to apologize. During the actual ceremony, her words were absolutely perfect. Everything she said hit so close to home for us and made the moment so magical and romantic. I cannot say enough good things about Wanda! Wonderful person and wonderful JP!

, told me the bride should never apologize for anything, and was reassuring to us during so many of the uncertain times during these past few months. Our ceremony on 11/20/20 was perfect. So many guests complimented us on our spiritual and romantic ceremony and praised Wanda's beautiful words and our stone ceremony. All our vendors were so excited to learn Wanda was doing our ceremony so you know when other vendors support each other it says something!! <3 Thank you, Wanda, for making our day so special and memorable.

e able to give her the marriage certificate well before the wedding and were able to choose our entire ceremony when we met with her. She had great ideas (Many of which we hadn't even thought of) and she was so helpful every step of the way. I'm not the best public speaker and was a little weary writing my own vows so she helped us choose the perfect vows that spoke to us without having to write our own--and we did personal letters instead. She also really listened to what we had wanted. My biggest fear was people taking multiple photos throughout the ceremony, so we wanted an unplugged one. Wanda announced that and I don't know what she said but that rule was followed!!! My guests didn't raise a phone once and it was so nice to see when we did occasionally look out to our guests. Not to mention she has a perfect speaking voice for this job!! Wanda is truly amazing and you absolutely need to book her if you're looking for an officiant!

our ceremony and she was the only JOP that we ended up meeting with. She sent over a ceremony draft prior to the wedding for us to review and we didn't even make 1 edit to it. Our guests have been raving about our ceremony and it wouldn't have been what it was if it weren't for Wanda so thank you!

was beautiful, heartfelt and everything we envisioned it to be and more. Wanda is a true professional and cares very much about the couples she works with. We received countless compliments on our ceremony and cannot recommend her enough!

easy to work with and we are still getting compliments months later about how beautiful the ceremony was delivered, thanks to Wanda. We would definitely recommend her!!!

ear how invested she is in her couples and how passionate she is about her work. Wanda truly made my Husband and I feel comfortable and confident that our ceremony would go perfectly. She personalized our ceremony, added suggestions and helped us in creating the perfect ceremony. So many of our guests remarked on how special and personal our wedding ceremony was which was so important for us. We truly loved working with Wanda and would whole heartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding! She is amazing!!

d! I would strongly recommend Wanda as a JOP!!!

to offer than we ever expected. When we sat down with her to actually plan our ceremony, she listened to what we did and didn’t want and had so many suggestions and ideas to offer us. She made it extremely easy to create a ceremony that was perfect for us, and we could not be happier! We have received so many compliments from our guests about how amazing she was, and the fact that she even steps out of the way for moments like vows and our first kiss, which is something I have never seen before! We highly recommend Wanda no matter what your vision may be, she is so loving and knowledgeable, you will not be disappointed!

ur wedding ceremony, using all of the details that we told her during our meetings. Every single one of our guests commented on the night of, and continue to comment how it was one of the best wedding ceremonies they have ever been to. We did choose to write and recite our own vows, but Wanda's love for what she does shined through during the wedding ceremony. I would recommend Wanda to anyone looking for an amazing officiant!

made an effort to get to know us as a couple. We felt like we’ve known her for years! Our ceremony was beautiful and several guests commented on the lovely things that Wanda had to say about us. We highly recommend her!!! Thank you Wanda for being a part of our special day!!! Xo

when it came to last minute changes that needed to be implemented. Wanda is prompt with communication as well. Our guests raved about the ceremony and there were certainly some happy tears shed by all!

e dreamed of. It was personal to us as a couple and she put everything together so lovely. We received SO many compliments on the ceremony and all of them were about how wonderful Wanda was. Thank you Wanda for providing the most lovely ceremony. It was a joy working with you!

ate a ceremony that best represented us as a couple. She really is a professional and made our day so special. We could not have done it without her. A simple review does not do justice of all that she did for us. We are so happy Wanda was part of our special day.

as a couple. It can be hard when someone doesn't know the bride and the groom, but we both felt she took the time to get to know us, and mentioned the important details about us during our ceremony. She truly is passionate about the words she speaks. We felt that she was heartfelt in her delivery and really fine tuned her speech to be as we envisioned for our wedding day. We was well spoken, prepared and we could tell she was a pro, but still took the time to make the ceremony personal and intimate. She also provided me all the information I will need to legally change my name too. Thank you Wanda!

any questions or concerns I had. When my husband and I met with her, she really took the time to get to know us and our love story. The ceremony she presented was perfect. She touched on everything we wanted her to in a way I truly think only Wanda could have done. I could not have been happier with the service Wanda provided!

bsolutely fantastic from the very first contact. When we reached out to Wanda, she responded quickly and planned to talk to us over the phone. We were in search of someone who respected our desire for a non-religious ceremony that would not be too long and would match our individual love story. We were so happy to choose Wanda and loved being able to reach out to her with any questions. She checked out all of the vendors we had chosen so far and was very in-tune with the do’s and don’ts for weddings. Since we did not have any specific readings that we wanted for our ceremony, we picked one from her favorites selection. We were very happy with our vows and everyone complemented on our perfect ceremony. The guests appreciated that they could hear and understand everything that was said even with the sounds that come with a beachside wedding (with additional props to our DJ for his equipment). She was great at collecting our marriage license before the ceremony and submitting it to the town hall in a timely manner. Even after the wedding, she responded quickly to my questions clarifying how I needed to go about getting our copies. Everything about Wanda was phenomenal and I would highly recommend her if you want someone who can help take some of the stress out of your wedding planning!

mediately put you at ease. We had no idea what kind of ceremony we wanted when we first sat down with her, but by the end of the meeting it was lined out to the t with no stress! We would highly recommend Wanda to anyone! She is the best!

atient. My daughter who is 3 had a bit of a meltdown during the ceremony because she was overwhelmed and Wanda just rolled with it all with us. At one point I was holding my daughter and Wanda shifted her attention to her to make her feel more comfortable. She helped make what could have been a disaster into something super sweet. She really personalized our ceremony to us! Thanks Wanda!

h, and came up with a unique ceremony written just for us. She was always available for questions or opinions, and took all the stress out of the ceremony process. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in the CT area!

ideas and made us cry (good tears of course) and laugh so much. The ceremony was wonderful and our familys loved her. Definately the best choice!!
