Serving New Hampshire’s Seacoast and Beyond

Local to the Seacoast,
Happy to Travel

I’m based in New Hampshire’s beautiful Seacoast region and happily perform wedding ceremonies in Dover, Durham, Exeter, Greenland, Hampton Falls, Kensington, Newfields, Newington, Newmarket, and Stratham.

Planning your celebration elsewhere in New Hampshire? I’m glad to travel beyond these communities—just get in touch, and we can talk about your location and plans.

Performing marriage ceremonies is clearly the most important non-notarial responsibility vested in a Justice of the Peace. 
I perform weddings, elopements and reaffirmation of vows. 

Wedding Ceremony Services

Elopement

For a ceremony to be legally binding, it must include two key elements: a declaration of intent and the pronouncement of marriage. 
These two elements are the basis for an elopement ceremony following the presentment of a valid marriage license and proper identification.
The ceremony is short and sweet but can be personalized.  My fee is $100. 


Personalized Wedding Ceremony:

Every ceremony begins with thoughtful planning. We’ll meet in person or by video and stay connected as needed while we create a personalized ceremony that reflects your wishes. I never book more than one wedding per day, so your celebration will have my full attention.
The fee is $250 and includes customized ceremony wording, vows, and unlimited planning communication.
Rehearsal attendance is available for an additional $50.


Reaffirmation of Vows:

A reaffirmation of vows is a bit less intense than a wedding ceremony (you did this once before) and the original vows can be renewed or replaced by new vows that we can create.  My fee is $200.
