From the moment I met Barbara I knew her bubbly personality would be perfect for our ceremony. You can tell she is a person who loves not only what she does but loves love! I corresponded with her via email (i was a long distance bride) and she was very responsive...finally met her while in Rhode Island and she drove to the airport from Narragansett to meet with me! when she sent the rough draft of our vows i cried...they were beautiful! she really took the time to get to know us as a couple and write vows that were genuine and heart felt. The day of the ceremony everything was perfect and we got compliments on what a beautiful ceremony it was. I cannot thank her enough for making my day so amazing!

Anyone looking for a JP for a wedding should not look any other place! Barbara is seriously top in the business! She will meet with you anywhere and any time. She will ask questions and get the feel of both of you and your situation from the day you met. Then she will personalize your vows like no other! Also very reasonable in price. We were more than happy with her and i know anyone would be just as satisfied! Thank you barbara. :). Bill & adrienne

I can't recommend Barbara enough. She took the time to get to know us, worked with us on the wording of everything (i can be a little picky) and was just an overall joy to work with. I can't thank her enough for making our day that much more perfect:)

We loved our wedding ceremony and the vows that Jim wrote for us. We loved that they were tailored specifically to us and included the children as well. I was an emotional bride and Jim was ready with a tissue. I thought that was so sweet. Very nice people and a joy to work with. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an officiant.

Say I do by Barbara made our wedding really special! I am so glad we picked them. My husband and I are both in the military and he was coming home from Iraq so our dates were a little flexible but it proved to be no problem at all for them. So glad we chose this company for our wedding!!!

She did a wonderful job. She caterers to personalizing the wedding. She came up with a great story about our love and personalities. She is a very nice person and when we have a child, we will be calling her. When we renew our vows, we will call her then too.

Barbara is an exceptional officiant. She gets to know her couples on a personal level and makes their wedding ceremony about them. Barbara is personable and a pleasure to work with! Barbara did a beautiful knot tying ceremony at one particular wedding I did with her. The couple was more than pleased, and the guests commented on the ceremony's originality.
