5-Star Experience with our wedding officiant Leslie Zises!!!!!

Although I rarely write reviews, I thought it would be a disservice to others not to share my wonderful experience with our wedding officiant, Leslie Zises (justice of the peace). Me and my bride-to-be decided on short notice to elope at the beautiful Boston Harbor Hotel. Since everything was on such short notice, and us being from out of state, we had no idea on who would marry us and what we needed to do. Like any confused individuals, we called the concierge at our hotel, hoping for some direction on who could marry us on such short notice.
We couldn’t have been more impressed with their recommendation of Justice Leslie Zises. The Boston Harbor Hotel is a 5-star hotel, and they absolutely directed us to a 5-star officiant in Leslie. From the moment I first contact Leslie by email, it was clear from her response that we had made the right choice, and that she was going to be a pivotal part in our special occasion. And, she absolutely played a pivotal role in making our experience unforgettable.

Although we originally planned to just have a quick wedding ceremony and didn’t give much thought into choosing the right officiant to marry us, we know realize how lucky we were to have chosen Leslie. I now realize, even for a short ceremony, choosing the right officiant is very important if you want to have a special and memorable event. Leslie was not only professional but also remarkably warm and engaging. She took the time to get to know us before the ceremony, ensuring that our love and personalities shone through during the vows. This personal touch made the ceremony feel intimate and unique, capturing the essence of their relationship perfectly. I would also add that the meeting between us and Leslie was her idea and not ours, done at no additional expense to us, and after the meeting, we were both sure we had made the right choice on the person who would marry us. We are so please and happy that Leslie suggested the meeting before our ceremony.

Leslie used our meeting to help craft and prepare her eloquent words and heartfelt sentiments for our vows which deeply moved my bride. I will also add that Leslie also provided us with advice and guidance from the moment we contacted us and extending until after the ceremony. She also recommended fabulous restaurant for our trip to Boston. Unbeknownst to us, when we went to dinner after the ceremony, Leslie had called the restaurant concierge were we were dining to advise them of our special occasion, to ensure we would have a night to remember.

If you’re looking for wedding officiant with experience, expertise, connections, and professionalism who can bring your wedding vision to life with grace and authenticity, I wholeheartedly recommend Leslie Zises Thank you Leslie for creating such a memorable experience that we will never forget!!!

The best, ever

Leslie married me and my wife with less than 3 weeks notice. She was very communicative, understanding, professional, caring, and she put together a beautiful ceremony. She truly gave much time and effort to make sure that I had a special day. I hope that everybody gets the chance to have Leslie as their officiant. I give her my highest recommendation.

Extremely flexible & reliable!

Leslie was hands down amazing. Our elopement plans fell through last minute, so we found Leslie online and gave her a call. In under 5 hours, Leslie was able to work around her busy schedule to put together a personalized speech and marry us! We are so grateful that we found someone so kind, thoughtful, and accommodating for our special day. We had some issues with paperwork afterwards, and Leslie took it upon herself to get everything sorted out for us! We were so happy and impressed with her services, thank you Leslie!
