What every ceremony Carries

These are included in every package.

Your marriage license, completed and submitted

After the ceremony we complete the license and submit it to the clerk’s office. Every package includes it, so your marriage is official and on record and there is nothing left for you to file.

Wherever you want to stand

A courthouse, a city hall, a venue, a private residence, or wherever else you choose. We come to you, and we can travel outside Massachusetts for a fee.

About ten to twenty minutes

The exact length depends on the two of you and the ceremony you choose. It is short by design but never rushed.

You will never wonder what comes next

We guide you through the ceremony step by step, so you always know when it’s your turn. There’s no need to rehearse or memorize anything. We’ll take you calmly through it all.
