Shelly made us feel completely at ease on our special day. Her beautiful words and joyful presence brought such warmth and meaning to our ceremony—it truly felt perfect.

Shelly did such an amazing job performing our full elopement ceremony. She made it beautiful and intimate and couldn't imagine it being any better. We highly recommend her services.

Shelly made our elopement wedding absolutely seamless. We wanted something simple yet meaningful, and Shelly delivered exactly that. Shelly was professional, easy to communicate with, and brought a lovely sense of calm to our day. We couldn't have asked for a better person to officiate our ceremony!

Shelly performed a tailored ceremony based on our styles. She is very knowledgeable, responsive, supportive, professional and patient.  I wholeheartedly recommend her for your ceremony, thank you, Shelly!! 

Shelly was exactly who we were looking for to officiate our wedding. My husband and I are not ones to share our feelings in front of others so the idea of standing in front of a crowd sharing our love for each other was daunting. Shelly made us feel comfortable and respected our requests for variations in the ceremony. Shelly got glowing reviews from our guests who mentioned how well she spoke and how she really knew her part and did it well. Shelly even offers dog care for the day of, an opportunity that we didn't use but loved having the option as our dog was in the ceremony. Shelly will walk your dog before/after the ceremony and even offers dog care from her home or will drop your dog off at a requested location. If you choose Shelly for your wedding, you won't regret it. I am so thankful we met her at a wedding expo. From the moment I walked up to her I felt a sense of comfort, and I knew from that moment she was going to be our officiant.

Shelly made our ceremony absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we met her, she brought such warmth and authenticity that instantly put us at ease. The ceremony she led felt deeply personal and meaningful, as if she had known us for years. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful it was and how perfectly it captured who we are as a couple. Shelly created a space filled with love, laughter, and connection, and we’ll always be grateful for the care and intention she put into every word. If you’re looking for someone who will truly make your wedding ceremony special, Shelly is the one.

Shelly is absolutely wonderful! She is warm, welcoming and kind. She created a beautiful ceremony for my husband and I and we are so grateful for the care she put behind it. It was a pleasure to be married by her! We definitely chose the right person to officiate our marriage. Thank you for everything Shelly! -Miranda and Nick 10.04.25

My husband and I planned our elopement a few weeks before the date that we chose. We weren't sure if we were going to be able to find the right Justice of the Peace in time. Then we came across Shelly. She got back to us so quickly and she was so wonderful to work with. We were planning a more casual, small, and intimate ceremony. With this, we also wanted the day to feel sentimental and special. Shelly knew exactly what were were looking for. She sent a draft of the ceremony in advance of our elopement date and it was so easy to work with Shelly, she touched on everything we had asked for! We were expecting our first baby at the time, she was able to include a statement about this in our ceremony and that meant so much to us. Our family was so impressed by Shelly and they all felt like our ceremony was a perfect reflection of our relationship and just such a special day. Thank you Shelly!

Shelly is an amazing JP. I have watched her as a member of a friend's wedding party, I have watched her as a witness to an elopement ceremony, and I have worked with her when she officiated my wedding. You're not going to find a sweeter person to work with. Because I have to have my hand in the cookie jar, I wrote my a script outline for my ceremony and asked Shelly to improve it. I am glad she did, for her wording was much better and she added very personal details that I overlooked. I heard several laughs and acknowledgments from guests during the ceremony, so I can assure you Shelly nailed it perfectly. I couldn't have asked for a better JP, and I will forever recommend her to anyone looking for a JP.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Shelly Mead as our wedding officiant, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From start to finish, Shelly was kind, professional, and incredibly helpful in guiding us through the process. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, ensuring that our ceremony was personal, meaningful, and exactly what we envisioned.

Her warm and calming presence made us feel at ease on our big day, and she conducted the ceremony beautifully. Shelly went above and beyond to make sure her new home office space was completed in time for us and it was perfect, and we are so grateful for her support and expertise. If you're looking for a wonderful officiant who truly cares, we highly recommend Shelly Mead!
