Sincere, then sassy, then sincere again
Abby officiates with the same instincts she uses on stage: know the audience, find the heart of the story, and land every beat. Expect a ceremony that is warm and personal first, with humor that serves the moment instead of stealing it.
She will get to know you, learn how you met and what you want your guests to feel, then write a ceremony around it. Vows, readings, rituals and family traditions are all welcome.

Making it official in Massachusetts
Every Massachusetts wedding needs a marriage license from a city or town clerk, and a person legally authorized to solemnize the marriage. Massachusetts also lets a specific person officiate a specific wedding through a One-Day Marriage Designation from the Governor's office.
Abby will confirm exactly what your ceremony requires and walk you through the timeline, so the legal part is handled well before the big day.

Before the "I do"
Can we write our own vows?

How funny will the ceremony be?
As funny as you want. Most couples choose heartfelt with a few well-placed laughs. You set the balance.
Can Abby officiate LGBTQ+ weddings?
Absolutely. Every couple is welcome.
Do we still need a marriage license?
Yes. In Massachusetts you apply for a marriage license with a city or town clerk. Apply early, and Abby will walk you through the timing.
Can Abby also host our reception?
Yes. Choose "Both" under Wedding Officiant in the inquiry form.
