Our experience with Witchy Woman Weddings was more amazing than we ever could have imagined! Tara crafted a beautiful, deeply personalized ceremony script that truly reflected who we are as a couple. She took everything we shared in her thoughtful questionnaire and wove it into a ceremony that was peaceful, meaningful, and absolutely perfect. Despite the intense heat of our outdoor Litha (Summer Solstice) wedding, Tara showed up to our home with grace and calm, pushing through the day with unwavering dedication. Her energy was grounding and warm, making us and our guests feel at ease. All of our guests complimented us on the ceremony - how it was so beautiful, and they had never seen anything like it! If you're looking for a Pagan or "offbeat" wedding experience, Tara is the one! She is incredibly easy to talk to, listens deeply, and genuinely cares about bringing your vision to life.

Rev. Laurel was incredible during the planning of our ceremony, and the day of. She assisted us in building an order of service from start to finish, with really great suggestions and outlines. She was so communicative leading up to the wedding with all the little questions and details. On the day of the wedding, my (now) husband and I were a bit jittery with adrenaline and nerves. She was incredibly calm and left us feeling so peaceful and at ease in her care at the altar. She was so on top of everything from the rehearsal to the inevitable bit of chaos on the wedding day, we are so unbelievably grateful and appreciative of her, and so happy we found her in Newburyport!

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.

Rabbi Noyo did a phenomenal job officiating our wedding! They worked with us for almost a year before the day, with monthly meetings to check in and craft the perfect ceremony for us. She was so helpful with explaining all of the traditions we could choose from, and made sure to keep the ceremony very friendly and understandable to those from a non-Jewish background.

My partner and I finally decided to elope after having been together for decades. Our plan was to show up at City Hall, sign some papers, and it would be done and dusted. I was a little disappointed to learn that that our city did not have an officiant on staff in the City Clerk's office. It turned out that lack of a an on-staff JP was the best thing that could have happened. While searching for a JP, I came across Hannah's website. Her "make it official" offering sounded like just what we were looking for. Hannah was marvelous. We had an initial consultation to nail down the where, when, and how of our ceremony. She was patient, knowledgeable, and made fantastic suggestions. The short timeframe we wanted was no problem for her. The last minute change in venue, again, no problem. She asked if we wanted any spiritual content in the ceremony, and when we said no, she was good with it. She was able to provide recommendations for a local photographer who also turned out to be awesome and just the person we needed. She patiently waited for us to finish writing our vows, printed them out for us to read to each other, and crafted the most beautiful, simple ceremony we could have hoped for. I honestly can't recommend Hannah enough. She will guide you, never push you, and truly help you create and execute what you as a couple want for your wedding day.

Miri was the perfect wedding officiant for our special day. From the very beginning, Miri's communication style was prompt, thoughtful, and reassuring. She met with us several months before the wedding to learn about us and what we were looking for in our ceremony. Miri then crafted a personalized first draft with lots of wording options for us to choose from, and she carefully pieced together our thoughts to make the ceremony bespoke and meaningful. Miri's work was truly exceptional - she was caring, kind, creative, passionate, and enthusiastic throughout the entire process. We loved the idea of including a peony watering as a symbol of our love, and Miri was so excited to incorporate that element, even selecting an amazing poem to accompany it. Additionally, Miri helped us with our vows and provided thoughtful suggestions - I felt so much more at ease reading my vows for all to hear because of Miri's feedback and support! Miri also met with us for the ceremony rehearsal, ensuring we felt prepared and confident for the big day. We are so grateful to Miri for making our wedding ceremony so memorable and special.
