We feel incredibly lucky to have had Rabbi Noyo as our wedding officiant. From our very first conversation, they brought warmth, an open mind, understanding and genuine care into the entire process. They took the time to get to know us as a couple easily and conveniently. They asked us great questions and got right to the heart of who we are and how to bring that to our wedding day.

  • Serves Dover, MA

Stop scrolling! You found us! My name is Chelsea. I am a New England based wedding officiant who writes and performs custom ceremonies for weddings and elopements. I believe every couple deserves to feel guided by a seasoned professional on their wedding day. I also believe your officiant should feel like a natural part of the day. Warm, familiar, and completely at home within the celebration of your story. My goal is to fit seamlessly into each wedding, sharing your love story with clarity, romance, and just the right amount of humor for the people who matter most. I have another talented officiant on my team, Ren, doubling our availability!

We could not have asked for a better officiant for our wedding. From the very beginning, Chelsea took the time to meet us in person and truly get to know our story. After that, she crafted a beautiful ceremony personalized to us, and was patient and receptive to our (very minimal) feedback, making the whole process easy and stress-free. Her professionalism was clear through every step of the process- in her communications, her outfits/appearance, and in how she facilitated our rehearsal, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and prepared. On the wedding day, she delivered our ceremony with confidence, care, and conviction—it was heartfelt, sincere, funny, and everything we ever hoped it would be. We’ve received countless compliments from our guests saying it was the best ceremony they’ve ever attended, which is a true testament to Chelsea’s talent. If you’re looking for an officiant who will go above and beyond to make your day unforgettable, we can’t recommend Chelsea enough!

Awarded Best of Zola
I very recently got married, and the planning leading up to the wedding went so smoothly and so quickly! Venue, florals, photography- things got checked off our list with relative ease. Then we got a bit stuck- we needed an officiant! It can seem like a simple pick, but if you don’t want to have a friend or family get ordained, and you’re not a member of a traditional religion, it can be a harder match to make. But then, we found Tara at Witchy Woman Weddings and reached out immediately. We’re so glad we did!! Inquiry was simple and responses were fast. We only spoke through email leading up to the day itself, but Tara does have the option to book meetings if you’d prefer some face-to-face contact in the lead up to your big day. She has such a peaceful and warm presence that, even if you’re meeting her for the first time at the altar for the ceremony as I did, you feel that calm and kind energy emanating towards you. The process for creating your ceremony script is both easy and personalized- Tara has an in-depth questionnaire to fill out that covers a wide range of topics so she can tailor the ceremony to your unique story and the vibe you’re aiming to create. It really covers all the bases but doesn’t feel daunting to complete. After that, she delivers a sample script and makes sure to note that edits can be made if there is anything you want changed- we didn’t make a single change to ours! We got emotional just reading through our draft and were amazed at how she captured us in the writing. To sum all this up, I am beyond grateful to have found Tara. She was the perfect person to join us together, mixing elements of both the traditional and the not-so-traditional on our Friday the 13th wedding. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a truly special, unique, and heartfelt ceremony. At the risk of sounding a little cheesy, she truly helped make our day a magical one!

It was a blessing to have Hannah Grace marry us. She brought a beautiful, centered, and calm presence and a deep caring for how our ceremony set a template for unifying our lives together. This was especially touching as our marriage came a year after the death of a child! That adult was beautifully heralded in our ceremony.

Christine was wonderful to work with. From the first call we had you could tell this is a passion for her. Between our zoom calls and emails she was easy to get ahold of and was happy to answer any questions we had. To ensure we had a ceremony that was true to who we are as a couple, she shared an example of a ceremony script she’d just done and then asked us to provide her with our love story and what we like about each other. From there she took this information and wove it into a beautiful ceremony that was personalized, paid tribute to our moms, had a little humor in it and most importantly felt natural. We were able to collaborate after she put together the first draft for any changes. On the day of she arrived early making sure everything was all set and the ceremony would go off without a hitch. I would highly recommend using Christine if you’re looking for a professional JP who really cares about what she does.

We were going back and forth between having a family member or a professional officiate, and we eventually landed on Miriam. It truly felt like the best of both worlds because it feels as though we made a new friend in her. Miriam has such an warmth about her, and you can tell that they truly love connecting with couples to make each ceremony perfectly "them." They listened to all our ideas and created a ceremony that was so unique to us and full of little personal details. Miriam also coordinated and ran our rehearsal, which made the logistics feel so easy. On our wedding day (and even days after!), so many of our guests came up to us to say how beautiful the ceremony was and how much they loved it. We cannot recommend Miriam enough!
