I am a marriage advocate.
My wife and I have been married for more than 55 years, and I know that marriage is a bond that requires both love and work to make it happen.
I’m Bill Perkins
The decision to get married is the, or at least one of the, most momentous decisions a couple will make in their lifetime. It is not a decision that should be taken lightly. You are reviewing this website because you have made the commitment and are ready to take the next step and I am ready to help.
After 46 years, I have retired from practicing law. I worked as a general attorney at two of the major television networks, representing the News, Sports and Entertainment divisions, and as a partner at one national and two international law firms in New York City. I was admitted to practice law in five states and seven federal district courts, including the New Hampshire courts.
While in private practice, I represented some of the largest companies in the financial services, manufacturing, entertainment, hospitality, automotive, retail, e-commerce, healthcare and real estate business sectors and received numerous professional accolades from peer review organizations. My practice involved partnering with my clients to solve their people issues with a wide range of employees from hourly to senior executives.
You might be wondering what all of this has to do with conducting weddings in New Hampshire. My reputation within the legal community is one of attention to detail, accessibility, and responsiveness in addition to being quite an able advocate and counselor. I am results oriented and very focused on collaborating with my clients in achieving their goals. Those same attributes will be channeled to make your wedding the most successful and memorable event for you and your guests. For the record, I am not a stuffed shirt lawyer! Rather, I am regular guy who enjoys interacting with clients to achieve the best results for them.
I look forward to partnering with you to make your civil ceremony special, enjoyable and memorable. Although I have available sample ceremony segments and vows, I will work with you to craft more personalized ceremony segments and vows, which capture the vibe you want to achieve. If requested, I will attend the rehearsal and if retained, I will of course perform the ceremony at a place of your choice in New Hampshire. During the lead up to the ceremony, I am happy to field unlimited texts, emails and calls to answer all your questions at no cost to you beyond my fee structure described on the Home page.
