A Unique Approach to Weddings

The Process:

To be married in Massachusetts, you must obtain a Massachusetts Marriage License, plan a ceremony, and select someone to officiate

Learn and understand the process of getting married with the help of Personalized Marriage Ceremonies in Littleton, Massachusetts.

Obtaining a Marriage License: 

  • Appear jointly before any town or city clerk in Massachusetts -- it does not have to be the town or city where you will be married
  • Bring identification and a valid proof of age -- birth certificate or driver's license
  • You must be 18 years old to obtain a marriage license
  • Blood tests are not required
  • There is a three day waiting period (weekends and holidays included)
  • The license is valid for 60 days from the date that you first applied
  • Fees are set by the individual cities and towns

Your Ceremony:

  • Contact me to reserve your date
  • Meet with me to begin discussing the elements that will make your ceremony special and personal -- usually an hour
  • Continue planning through telephone conversations and/ or e-mails -- readings, vows, ring statements, and special ceremonies like the wine box and love letters or handfasting -- until the ceremony is precisely the way you want it
  • Have a rehearsal with me and all parties involved in the ceremony to make certain that things will go perfectly on your special day
  • Have the wedding of your dreams -- your wedding, your way
