Introduction: As one of the most requested Justices of the Peace in Connecticut, and now serving NY, MA, and RI, I have over 16 years and 600+ weddings of ongoing experience. I pride myself in creating a ceremony that is personal and meaningful. We will work together to construct your ceremony. I also welcome a friend or family member to do a reading during your ceremony. I am fortunate to be a preferred vendor for the CT wedding Group. I recently retired from 45 years in the medical field. I was extremely proud to be part of the healthcare field as a Radiologic Technologist. I focused on Mammography as my specialty, and the last 10 years was as a manager of a large Outpatient Imaging Center for a local hospital. I bring that care and kindness to my role as a Justice of the Peace. It all starts with a phone call, Facetime or Zoom. That way I can get a chance to hear your story and what I can do to make your ceremony unique and memorable. Whether this is your first marriage, or second, I take care to make you comfortable and I walk you through the steps of what you are required to do to obtain your marriage license in your state. At our first contact, I will give you an outline of a typical ceremony, so you know what to expect. Most ceremonies are typically 10 minutes. I can suggest some special additions that include Handfasting, Sand, Love Lock, or Rose ceremony. I have been married for over 35 years, and we share 4 children and 4 grandchildren. I am happy to say that they are all here in CT. I am the youngest of 3 girls, and between us we can all officiate at weddings. My oldest sister Susan is a retired Methodist minister in California, and my middle sister Sally is a JP in Ridgefield. So, it is "all in the family!" Thank you for taking the time to read "my story". I look forward to your email.

Carol was excellent as our officiant! She was such a calm presence in the chaos of our rehearsal dinner and wedding day. She worked with us beforehand to make the ceremony exactly what we wanted, she was very responsive to emails, and she helped us figure out everything we needed for paperwork - we’d highly recommend her!

Although our day was intentionally small and quiet, Carol was delightful to work with, helped guide us through this long overdue joining, and performed her task as if she were officiating for folks, she had known her whole life. We couldn't ask for a better JP and recommend her consideration to all who are seeking a JP.

We chose Carol to officiate our wedding and she was just amazing! Everything went seamlessly smooth from start to finish. She responded to all our enquiries promptly and wrote such memorable vows for us that we will always remember for our years to come. She was very kind, smiley, professional and made us feel great. We cannot recommend her enough! Thank you Carol!

Carol is the best!! We cannot thank her enough for all her help! She worked with us super last minute for our elopement, and helped us so much with info and planning! We changed our mind about a bunch of last minute things and she was very accommodating! She also wrote us the most beautiful ceremony and gave us the cutest coaster and handkerchief if we cried! We are using her again for our ceremony with family! Thank you Carol!
