About

My mission is to work with you and your partner to create a day you will always remember. Located just 2 minutes away from the Branford, CT town hall is my turn of the century home. If you and your partner choose, we can perform the ceremony in my garden, where you will find a charming gazebo, soothing water features and my prize winning roses. Perhaps an inside wedding is more to your liking? The fieldstone fireplace is the perfect spot for you to say 'I Do' while a pianist plays the baby grand piano in the foyer.

Maybe you just need a flexible, caring, sensitive Justice of the peace willing to work with the team of professionals you've already hired, or maybe you just want someone to simply officiate. What ever you needs are, I can work with you to make your day a special one.

This is YOUR special day. It is about you. I can offer you a wealth of knowledge, and guide you through the officiating process so you can make informed decisions. I can even give you some ideas about writing your own vows, or orchestrating personal elements, such as a unity candle, into the ceremony. I consider the opportunity to be a part of 'the happiest day of your life' to be an honor. Selecting my services will guarantee a special day with spectacular memories that will last you a lifetime.

Don is the man you want as your JP!

Look no further! Don IS the guy you want to perform your ceremony. He took real time to get to know us as individuals, and as a couple, to understand our unique story; moreover, how to communicate it meaningfully to our guests. He worked with us to create a ceremony that was truly ours, incorporating all of the elements that make us the couple we are and allowing our guests to see that he really knew us as people. Don was poignant, entertaining, well-spoken, and he created a memorable ceremony that had personal meaning from beginning to end. We could not have found a better person to join us in marriage!

You won't find a better person

Don was amazing from the beginning. He accommodated a skype call with one of us with him, the other in England. He told us of his experience, listened to our story, and asked really relevant questions. We explained the type of service we wanted and he did not disappoint. A number of the guests commented on his service and it being the best they had attended.
