Rachel Sent on 11/10/2024Wanda is amazing!
Wanda was my dream JOP and lived up to the expectation of all those 5-star reviews she has. From the moment I reached out to Wanda she made the planning of our ceremony easy. She was incredibly responsive and organized. Wanda was happy to hear the ideas we had for our ceremony and think of really thoughtful ways to incorporate them. Her sense of humor is amazing and she carried that into our ceremony on our wedding day.
Wanda was the best addition to our wedding and I highly recommend working with her.Wanda Chiles - Justice of the Peace's reply:
Thank you so much for your sweet words, Rachel! You and Chris had such a beautiful day at Smith Farms Gardens! I wish you a lifetime of love and being amazed by your great fortune in having found one another! -

Best Officiant Ever!
Wanda had great communication all throughout planning. She was so personable and strived to make our ceremony very meaningful and unique. Her ability to create not only a memorable narrative, but one that was down to earth and represents us made our day so special. It truly felt like family was marrying us! We had so many compliments on the professionalism and personality of the officiant. Would recommend Wanda to everyone looking for a timeless, personal, and loving ceremony.Wanda Chiles - Justice of the Peace's reply:
Olivia & Caleb! Getting to know you was such a pleasure and I was thrilled for the beautiful weather for your Wedding at Wyndcrest Estates! Your future together is going to be spectacular! -

Chelsea Sent on 07/18/2024Wanda was wonderful to work with
Wanda was an absolute pleasure to work with. We felt her truly motherly presence with helping us through the unknowns of planning a wedding ceremony. She helped to customize our ceremony to fit us as a couple. She even helped us execute a special request a few months prior to the wedding with a great sense of urgency. I would absolutely recommend using Wanda for any of your JOP wedding needs.Wanda Chiles - Justice of the Peace's reply:
Chelsea, Thank you for not saying "grandmotherly"! (haha) You and Adam were delightful before and on your wedding day at the West Hartford Delamar! I even got to pet Bellini on her way out! -

Jillian Sent on 07/17/2024Wonderful Wedding with Wanda!
Wanda was an absolute delight at our ceremony! She was extremely responsive through Wedding Wire, walked us through how our ceremony would go on Zoom and answered any questions we had. I come from a religious family and my husband does not. Wanda helped us incorporate the vision we had for our ceremony perfectly. My husband is also very type A, and Wanda handled his requests like a champ! She came to our ceremony promptly, well-prepared, and knocked it out of the park. Wanda is a dream!Wanda Chiles - Justice of the Peace's reply:
Oh Jillian! You and Ryan are a wonderful couple and your Aria wedding was so beautiful! Thank you so much for writing such sweet words! -

We are so grateful to have found Wanda to officiate our wedding! She made our entire process of building our ceremony so easy! Right from the beginning and right up to our wedding day she was quick to reply to any questions we had and was so helpful in all steps along the way! She is SO kind and took her time to get to know us and our story and asked us questions to make the perfect ceremony! We were looking for something on the shorter side with personal touches and it was exactly that! I would HIGHLY recommend Wanda! You can see how much I loved the ceremony in the photo below! We thank you again!!Wanda Chiles - Justice of the Peace's reply:
Gabby! You and Tyler are a truly magical couple...beautiful inside and out! Your Society Room wedding was filled with so much love, it was contagious! -

Marisa Sent on 08/13/2023Perfectly done
We knew we wanted to get married on site at our venue in the beautiful garden but didn’t know any officiants or someone who could marry us. After briefly looking we came across Wanda. From the beginning she was responsive and professional. She took the anxiety out of the ceremony.. during our planning meeting she asked what we wanted and had examples to choose from which was very helpful!
The actual ceremony was BEAUTIFUL… I still can’t get over it. Everything Wanda said was touching and “us”. It was exactly what we wanted. She so lovingly mentioned loved ones who passed on and included our family dog Luna in the ceremony. We can’t recommend Wanda enough!! If you are worried about a “stranger” marrying you… you don’t have to be with Wanda, it felt like we’ve known her for years. THANK YOU WANDA!!!!Wanda Chiles - Justice of the Peace's reply:
It was such a pleasure getting to know you, Marisa and your now hubby, Nick!! You were such a beautiful Bride and your exquisite gown was perfection! -

Elizabeth Sent on 01/30/2023A true pro!
I truly believe Wanda is the perfect officiant for just about anyone's wedding!!! She has an amazing calming presence yet is extremely professional and on the ball! My husband and I are not religious, yet we grew up with Catholic and Jewish backgrounds. We wanted to honor the traditions of those backgrounds without making our ceremony overly religious. Wanda worked with us to find the perfect wording for every aspect of our ceremony. During the ceremony itself, Wanda dressed appropriately, spoke clearly, and gave a beautiful introduction. Wanda takes the time to get to know you as a couple and entwine your love story into the words that she speaks. I was very worried that hiring an officiant who didn't know us would feel impersonal but not only did she do an excellent job getting to know us, you could tell she truly felt invested in our relationship. As she says, "she loves, love"! Working with an officiant who feels that way is so so special!
As I mentioned earlier, she is also extremely on the ball! A few examples of this - we had already followed one another on IG prior to our first consultation...during the consultation I noticed that she had already saved a post I made about our engagement in her notes. She had already started to follow along and understand the details of our love story so that she could breadcrumb them into the ceremony. I loved that attention to detail. Additionally, mid-ceremony when I was having trouble keeping the tears in she swiftly pulled a tissue out of what seemed like thin air and discreetly handed it to me. Her preparedness blew me away. She's also very passionate about moving out of the way so that you can have gorgeous "first kiss" photos without a third wheel hanging in the background. This isn't something I had thought of - but it makes a huge difference! You can tell she has learned many helpful tricks throughout her years of experience as she really is prepared for anything!
You really cannot get a better than Wanda's mix of utmost professionalism and expertise, yet still remaining kind and warm. Book her now!!!Wanda Chiles - Justice of the Peace's reply:
Elizabeth, I cannot thank you enough for blowing me away with this review! You and Michael were dream clients who became more like good friends (now I need a tissue for happy tears). Your dream wedding was perfection by all your vendors and especially The Riverhouse at Goodspeed Station! -

Jessica Sent on 10/23/2022Excellent officiant!!
Wanda officiated our wedding over Labor Day weekend and she made our ceremony beautiful! When we first contacted Wanda she was incredibly responsive and helped answer any questions we had. We had our initial meeting a few months out from the wedding and during that meeting Wanda really helped us plan the perfect ceremony. She is an expert and so professional. She had examples of portions of the ceremony which helped us shape exactly what we wanted. She crafted a personalized ceremony that captured our love story.
The day of the wedding Wanda was prompt and checked in with us at our bridal suite. She held our personal vow books for us during the ceremony until we needed them, and then during the vows she stepped away to ensure the photographs captured just us two saying our personal vows. I know this will make for a wonderful photo! She also stepped out of the frame when we had our first kiss as husband and wife, again ensuring the photographers captured just us. These details may seem so small, but we appreciated it so much. Our guests raved about how beautiful the ceremony was. We would recommend Wanda to anybody looking for an officiant!Wanda Chiles - Justice of the Peace's reply:
Jessica, I knew you and Jasim were the most perfect & gracious couple from our very first meeting and am thrilled that your day was fabulous! -

Alyssa Sent on 09/25/2022Best Officiant Ever!!
Wanda was the best officiant we could have asked for! She was recommended by a friend who is a wedding coordinator and loves working with Wanda. She provided us with the most personalized amazing ceremony, short and sweet just like we wanted! Throughout the rest of the wedding all of our friends and family kept telling us it was the best ceremony they’ve ever seen! She met with us the months prior to the wedding and really got to know us, incorporating our pups and love of beer in the ceremony. It truly felt like we knew Wanda for years.. If you are considering Wanda to make your special day perfect… do it!!Wanda Chiles - Justice of the Peace's reply:
You and Connor were a dream couple, Alyssa, and I loved how very cool the "beer ritual" culminated with applause from your guests! -
