Ceremony of our dreams

We had the ceremony of our dreams all thanks to Judges for Love. We were having trouble finding an officiant but when we ran across Judges for Love online and Judge Marrus we knew we had finally found our officiant. Both Judge Marrus and the CEO Iris were an absolute delight to work with. Both were so responsive to us whenever we had a question. They truly care and clearly have a passion for their work. They took the time and effort to get to know us as a couple and learn our story so that they could tailor the best ceremony possible for us. They patiently guided us through the process and provided such helpful guidance. Their genuine care is immediately apparent. They both felt like family by the time our wedding day arrived! We received and continue to receive constant compliments on our ceremony, particularly praises for Judge Marrus whose officiating impressed and greatly delighted our guests. Thank you Judges for Love for making our ceremony a dream come true.

Personalized Ceremony

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Judges for Love. Iris contacted us immediately and arranged to have Judge Pat Henry perform our ceremony. Judge Henry was warm, friendly and easily worked with us to create a perfect ceremony. I highly recommend using Judges for Love!

Professional and personalized to the couple

My husband and I really enjoyed working with Judges for Love! Iris was wonderful and very responsive with all of my questions. She made the officiant process seamless. Judge Parker was the best officiant for us! I enjoyed our phone calls to get to know each other better and to plan out our ceremony. Judge Parker gave us her ceremony recommendations which made us so comfortable on our wedding day. Her calm personality made us at ease at the altar. :) If you are still looking for an officiant, go with Judges for Love! They were absolutely wonderful to work with.

AMAZING - 100% recommend!

I honestly don't have words to describe how amazing Judges for Love, especially Iris & Judge Marrus are! They handled everything perfectly. Because of COVID-19, we decided on having a small wedding with my husband's immediate family present with us in-person and my family joining on a Zoom call from India. From the get-go, Judges for Love helped us through everything. This included helping us understand the process of getting online marriage license from NYC's Project Cupid, to arranging a call with the judge for our personalized ceremony, signing the marriage license and keeping us up-to-date on all other matters. Not once did we feel lost or confused about what to expect from a zoom wedding! Judge Marrus, who was also on the zoom call, did a splendid job, turning the ceremony into a heartfelt, cheery, emotional & funny event! Everyone loved it, including my parents in India, who aren't used to an American-style wedding! If you want your perfect ceremony, just the way you dreamed, I wholeheartedly recommend going for Judges for Love. They will ensure everything goes smoothly and stress-free! Thanks a million to Iris and Judge Marrus.

The Perfect Ceremony for Us!

We are so happy we went with Judges for Love for our fall ceremony. Judge Marrus took time to get to know us, asked incisive questions to understand the type of ceremony we most wanted (even when we weren’t entirely sure!) and did his own research to come up with a couple surprise details in telling our story. Iris was prompt, friendly and clear during our planning process. Judge Marrus showed up early on the day of and did a great job running a ceremony that was fun but reflected the importance of the day. He was a hit with a family and friends as well. Thank you!

Great choice for wedding officiant!

Judge Marrus and Iris were responsive and professional during the planning phase and Judge Marrus made sure our ceremony was fun and humorous. Several guests said how much they enjoyed the ceremony.
