About

Welcome!

Whether you are planning a celebration in advance, eloping, want to renew your vows, or just want to "make it legal," you deserve an officiant who will take the time to craft a ceremony that suits your style and, most importantly, helps to make your ceremony unforgettable.

I appreciate weddings of all kinds -- traditional, unconventional, humorous, serious, planned down to the detail, or spur of the moment. It is your day...anything goes. At the end of the day, it is your love for each other that matters most.

I embrace all marriages with absolute equality.

I am a lifelong resident of Massachusetts and am honored to be a Justice of the Peace. The first wedding I ever officiated was that of my sister and, right away, I knew it was something I wanted more of. I have felt truly fortunate to be a part of a couple's most important day. My passion for performance and creative writing, and my strict sense of responsibility, make me a Justice that a couple can feel comfortable choosing.

I am honored to unite and and all couples in love.

I have been an educator of Deaf/Hard of Hearing children for almost 20 years years and am fluent in American Sign Language. I am nationally certified ASL/English Interpreter. I have officiated weddings, large and small, for Deaf couples in ASL or signed supported English, depending on personal language preference.

Claire is amazing!

We cannot say enough great things about Claire! From the moment we spoke with her we felt very comfortable and knew she would be easy to work with. Claire took her time getting to know us and asked thoughtful questions about our relationship to create a personalized ceremony that truly reflected us a couple. Throughout the ceremony Claire was a calming and reassuring presence while helping us stay completely focused on each other. She told the story of our first date among other details we shared with her and struck the perfect balance of humor and emotion, weaving together a ceremony that was both touching and memorable. We feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with Claire and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant who will create a beautiful and meaningful ceremony!

Amazing intimate elopement, thank you Claire!!


We had the pleasure of having Claire as our JP for our intimate elopement that took place outside her home. We wanted something easy, simple but meaningful and we accomplished this with the help of Claire. She was so friendly, professional, and wrote up the most beautiful vows for us. I can’t thank her enough. I highly recommend Claire to anyone looking for an amazing JP for their wedding.

Simply the best

Claire was an absolute savior for us when our original plans to elope to Italy were cancelled due to the pandemic. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and just genuine love for what she does made our day WONDERFUL. Eloping to Boston Public Garden wasn't an easy choice, but Claire made it so incredibly special. Looking back now, we are both so glad our wedding ended up this way. We are forever thankful to Claire and the wonderful ceremony she gave us.

Can't Thank Claire Enough!!!

I would definitely recommend Claire for your ceremony !!! She is so organized and really guided us through the entire process of putting together our ceremony. She provides so many resources, readings etc. She opened up her home (home office) to meet with us and was flexible, meeting on a Sunday morning, she even emailed me when she was on her family vacation! The ceremony was exactly hat we wanted even through we had no idea what we wanted! Not to mention she is so calm and collected she really brought such an amazing energy to the ceremony.

Amazing Ceremony!

Working with Claire was one of the highlights of our wedding. She is truly a wonderful person and really takes the time to get to know you as a couple. Claire provided a questionnaire for my husband and I to fill out to be used in the ceremony; we decided to keep it a secret and hear it for the first time at the wedding. We absolutely loved what Claire created and we are still receiving compliments about our ceremony and how personal it was. We cannot thank Claire enough!

I met Claire at a rehearsal for a wedding I was planning and instantly understood why my clients couldn't stop raving about her. That ceremony was so beautifully executed and such care went into it that I immediately knew that Claire would be the first justice of the peace I referred clients to, and the person I would have officiate my own wedding. When that time came, it was very spur-of-the-moment, and I emailed her on a Sunday to see if she were available 11 days after that, on what would be the 9th anniversary of our first date. She was! (If she hadn't been, we would have waited or sped it up; that's how much we wanted Claire.) Even though the ceremony included just the three of us (because her dog, Bear, stubbornly refused to follow through with his best-man duties), it was obvious that Claire had put as much thought and care into our ceremony as one she worked on for months. She pays such close attention to every detail that she is able to capture her couples perfectly and make it seem as if she's known them forever. I have friends who have attended weddings that she has officiated, and every one of them has marveled at her ability to convey just the right tone and make everyone involved feel as if he is part of something special. If you want a perfect and unforgettable wedding, call Claire. You will be glad you did.

Claire has the great quality of being able to really connect with people. Her sincere nature and grace will compliment any type ceremony. She is easy to work with and is a wonderful communicator. I highly recommend her as a Justice of the Peace.
