I’m so happy that I found Rosaria!!!

We didn’t have a big wedding we just had quick ceremony in the office but Rosaria managed to make it very sweet and special ❤️ She gave us very wise advice for our marriage but it didn’t feel inappropriate just the opposite … And vows she picked were so deep and beautiful that made us both cry!

Forever Thankful

Simply put, Rosaria is a top notch choice of officiant for your wedding day. She welcomed us and made our day so very memorable. She has a calming aura to her that dissolves all worries about the process. She has a lovely conference room if you are a short notice couple like us. She thought she may be rusty on her Spanish, but she conducted our wedding in Spanish with clarity and poise. I can’t recommend her enough. 5 stars across the board. Thank you Rosaria for being such an integral part of our start of forever!

Rosaria is second to none!

Rosaria was wondering and extremely professional but also personable. She was at venue early to ensure everything was in place and ready to go. I was nervous but she kept me calm and focused but also had everyone listening to every word. She made our day even more special.

Excellent service

Our wedding experience could not have felt better. We were very lucky to have Risaria officiate our wedding. From the very first time we contacted her, things looked really good. She was very warm to be around and She added magic to our big day. Her price is very affordable and 5 times better than other officiants. She is very kind and talked to us as an elder and a parent indeed reminding us of the very responsibilities of the marriage commitment. Besides, she was very kind to us. She really delights and finds pleasure and great joy in what she does. Everything else is indeed secondary and infact at $100 only, u won't find another like herself.

We Shall live to remember the amazing experience we shared with her.

As such, I highly recommend her to everyone and we rate her 10/10

God bless you Risaria and thank you 🙏💯%

Great experience

Rosaria was very professional, warm and kind to us on the day of our marriage. She was serious in her duties but very personable and made us feel lucky to be there, have one another, and get our marriage officiated on July 31, 2021. Thank you Rosaria, good luck to any one looking for an officiant. You are in good hands

Amazing ceremony

My wife and I decided to have smaller ceremony through a justice of the peace but it was anything but small. Rosaria made the day feel special despite us trying not to make a big deal out of it. You could tell she sincerely cared about us despite having done thousands of these ceremonies. I am grateful for her service and to any wondering if Rosaria is a good fit for your JOP ceremony don't hesitate! If I were to do it all over again I would 100% go back to Rosaria for her magical way of conducting a ceremony.

i reached out to Ms. Rosaria via email and she was very responsive throughout the process. Despite the COVID period, she was very accommodating in terms of timing and availability. the whole experience was great and we have no regrets having her witnessing our marriage. I do recommend all to reach out to Rosaria for a very positive experience. Thank you once again! - Charlton

The ceremony was beautiful

Rosaria was the perfect person to officiate the ceremony. On account of COVID, we decided to have it at her office. She had pre-arranged for a conference room, everything was socially distanced and very considerate. She got to know us before anything, our backgrounds and history, giving the whole thing a very personal warm touch. I will definitely recommend to anyone getting married in Boston.

Great Experience

We feel so lucky that we found Rosaria! She was very responsive and we were able to quickly schedule our ceremony. We needed to get married just the two of us because of COVID, so we met her in her office for the ceremony. Once there, she took time to chat and get to know us and explain the process. We really could not have asked for a better Justice of the Peace! She has so many great stories and made it such a special, memorable moment for us. Thank you, Rosaria!
