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. We can't recommend her enough - she helped make our wedding day truly magical.

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.

The Marrying Jane

  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $950
  • Serves Salem, 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!

Chelsea absolutely CRUSHED IT!! So many people came up to us and told us how professional and poised she was and how they loved the ceremony. Chelsea is an excellent officiant and an even better person. I was in a panic 2.5 weeks before the wedding when two different plans for officiants fell through. The Marrying Jane was on the recommended vendors list at The Red Barn at Outlook Farm; and when I reached out to ask if they could help, Chelsea responded that night and turned everything around. Chelsea wrote a custom ceremony, helped us with all the paperwork, and truly saved the day! I am endlessly grateful and can only hope that other couples find her at the beginning of their wedding planning journeys!

He told our love story by incorporating our smallest and cutest details into the ceremony, this made it feel so spontaneous and special. He then proceeded to mail our license for us the next 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.
