Introduction
As one of the most requested Justices of the Peace in Connecticut, and also serving NY, MA, and RI, I have over 18 years and 800+ 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 have a blended family of 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.

We were blessed to work with Carol. Her attention to detail and enthusiasm for officiating our wedding ceremony was exactly what we needed. Carol made sure we were happy with the wedding agenda. The call we had with Carol to identify our desires for the big day was reassuring. Further, Carol was punctual and flexible with our schedule on our big day. Her calming presence and friendly demeanor comforted all.

Carol was amazing. We needed an officiant within a few weeks and she was very quick to respond and work with us to make our impromptu day special! She helped us pick and choose how we wanted the ceremony to go and customized it to make it ours. Despite it raining on our outdoor day everything went very smoothly.

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!

Carol responded to the request quickly, spoke to us about how we met & our relationship to create a custom wedding ceremony with options of additional ceremony readings. She arrived on time and the ceremony went smoothly.
