How she works

Claire says she takes the time to craft a ceremony that suits your style. She is a lifelong Massachusetts resident and a Justice of the Peace, and her first wedding as an officiant was her sister's.

If you are marrying in Massachusetts, you file a notice of intention with a town clerk and collect a marriage license before the ceremony. Ask your officiant how the signed license is returned and who handles it. Bring the legal names you will use, your preferred vow style and any readings. If you plan a small elopement, ask how soon she can be available. Agree on the length of the ceremony and whether you want a rehearsal.

Where she works

She is based in Grafton, in Worcester County, and lives and works in Massachusetts. Ask about travel if your venue is farther afield.
