Roberta made our special day even more special. The words she spoke were so heartfelt, and it truly felt as if she had known us forever. She was not just going through the motions — she was genuine, compassionate, and fully present in every moment. You could truly feel how much she cared, and that made our ceremony incredibly meaningful. We are so grateful to have had her be part of such an important day in our lives.

Roberta was incredible. She worked closely with us to personalize our ceremony and was so kind and supportive throughout the process. She was confident and spoke beautifully. Many people remarked afterwards how strong and moving the ceremony was. We actually had a bridesmaid faint during but Roberta was so professional - once she helped her get situated she smoothly continued the ceremony and was not even fazed. We highly recommend her and her services!

We feel so incredibly grateful to have had Roberta from Lydon Chapel as our Justice of the Peace for our micro-wedding at our family home in Marblehead this August. From our first call, Roberta’s warmth and professionalism put us instantly at ease. She helped us design a ceremony that was completely our own...outlining our vows, suggesting meaningful readings, building a clear timeline, and answering every question we had along the way. Her experience and gentle guidance made what could have been overwhelming feel simple and joyful.
On our wedding day, Roberta created a ceremony that felt like an extension of our hearts. She told the story of how we met and why we fell in love with such beauty and authenticity. She even found a heartfelt way to honor those who could not be with us, like my father, which meant more to us than we can ever express.
Because of her, our ceremony flowed seamlessly and felt both intimate and effortless... it truly felt like a dream. She also handled the finalization of our marriage certificate, taking care of the small details so we could stay present in the moment.
Roberta is kind, thoughtful, lighthearted, and clearly passionate about bringing people together. If you’re looking for a Justice of the Peace or family-run business that genuinely cares, Lydon Chapel is a perfect choice. We will forever appreciate the beautiful ceremony she created for us. Thank you, Roberta!!!

Roberta made us feel confident in our ceremony every step of the way. She personalized the ceremony to our wishes, helped us feel prepared in the days before, and knew how to make things run smoothly. She shared a variety of example readings, which made it easier to choose the ones we wanted. She also helped us to get perfect ceremony photos with just the two of us. We were so happy to have Roberta officiating our wedding ceremony!

Roberta officiated our wedding and helped to make it perfect. We met with her twice before the wedding and she really put our minds at ease by walking us through the ceremony. She also made sure we didn't have to remember any details for the ceremony directing us what to do while also making it all seem very natural and seamless. She added personal touches to the ceremony, making it seem like she knew us well. We couldn't be happier with Roberta!!

Working with Roberta made getting married much less stressful. She helped us feel more comfortable and relaxed, and the ceremony was beautiful. She walked us through everything and made our big day that much more special.

I was so nervous picking an officiant and spent days reading through reviews before reaching out to Roberta, and she was as amazing as all of her reviews said. Roberta made planning our ceremony so easy, and she performed it perfectly. She is an absolute professional and was a pleasure to work with! She told us everything we needed to know well in advance of the wedding, listened to our preferences, and created a ceremony that fit us perfectly. She was able to beautifully tell our story as a couple and I could tell she was genuinely happy to have been a part of our wedding day.

Roberta is a great personality and a great JOP. She gave my husband and I the ceremony of our dreams with the most special moments catered to our requests. We will never forget this day

We hired Roberta to officiate our wedding, and we could not be more pleased with how everything went! Seriously, Roberta was so professional and helpful leading up to the big day. And then, we were honestly blown away by how smooth the actual ceremony went and how genuine it all felt. We even included a handfasting moment, and she handled it perfectly. We got so many compliments from guests, and many people assumed Roberta was a close friend by how authentic and personal the ceremony was. Highly recommend!

We were very late for the ceremony yet she was punctual and had a positive attitude the entire time. Never once showed any frustration. Relaxed and went with the flow - despite many distractions during the ceremony (toddlers running and making noise). We asked for many additions to her opening remarks and she accommodated every request we made. Extremely professional, patient, passionate, enthusiastic, warm, and genuine.
