MARRIAGE LICENSES

Prior to your wedding day, you will both need to get your marriage license from any Town Clerk or Town Hall in New Hampshire. There is no waiting period but the license will expire after 90 days.
Witnesses and blood tests are not needed in NH.

You will need to go together and bring proof of age as well as proof of any previous marriages ended by divorce or death.  Please discuss with the Town Clerk how to obtain copies of the certificate, once it has been turned in by the Justice of the Peace.

Name Changes: Once the Justice of the Peace has returned your marriage license to the town you received it from, you will need to ask them for a copy of the license. Once you have that, then you call Social Security at 800-772-1213 and follow the automated instructions and then they will send you a new social security card. Once you have that, you can go to the DMV with your new card and the official copy of the marriage license. It's best to wait until after the honeymoon if you intend to change your passport, as you might need that for travel.

TESTIMONIALS

"Thank you so much! Things worked out simply, beautifully and with grace. I can't imagine a wedding more perfectly suited to us. Thank you for everything." Steve and Jerry, October 26th, 2011

“We quickly realized that Kim was a more organized planner than we were as she would check in with us regularly to make sure our ceremony plans were coming along. We greatly appreciated her attention to detail, so many of her suggestions were crucial ones we hadn't even thought of. During the rehearsal Kim was able to effortlessly gather our large wedding party and keep them on track, which was a very impressive task as they are a rather rambunctious group. All of our guests commented on what a wonderful job Kim did officiating the ceremony. When we couldn't get the unity candles lit because of the light breeze we just shrugged it off.  Kim was able to keep our guests relaxed with us while she finished the unity candle reading and continued with the ceremony. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide us through a most memorable day of our lives.”   Molly and John July 16, 2011

"The person originally slated to do our ceremony dropped out at almost the last minute, leaving us limited time to find a replacement. Even with such short notice, Kim managed to work us in on a day she already had a ceremony scheduled. Kim was easy to communicate with, and worked with us to shape our ceremony. She reviewed and made suggestions to our ceremony until we settled on the right wording. The day of the ceremony went smoothly, thanks to Kim's preparedness and professionalism. She was easy to work with and did a great job keeping the nervous groom calm! Overall, Kim did a great job. She was easy to work with, very professional, and made our ceremony go smoothly. We would recommend her to anyone! James and Jenna Evans, May 21st, 2011

"Thank you so much for being the JP for our wedding. Your expertise proved to make a huge difference as our guests loved the poems we created and the "I will's". We would definitely recommend you to anyone. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect." Nick and Kozeta, July 2010

"Everyone who has watched the video says how beautiful the ceremony was. Your links on your website were invaluable in choosing just the right words to say when dedicating ourselves to each other. Your approach to your role as Justice of the Peace and the ceremony, not to mention your willingness to perform them in some pretty awesome locations-allowed us to be us and be fulfilled on our special day. You played a very special role on our very special day and were instrumental in making it not just special but PERFECT. Your links to Debony's, Meg Simone and Dutch Bloemen Winkel made our choices very easy. No one can believe I never met or spoke to any of you before such an event and you all made my day beautiful and perfect!!"  Chuck and Cindy Aquilla, July 2009 

“Heather and I where happy to have Kim officiate our marriage vows. It was a fun process from beginning to end. Kim was creative and flexible and not only didn't she bat an eye when we decided at the last minute to snowshoe out to the edge of Jackson Falls for the ceremony, but she thought it was a great idea! Can't speak highly enough of Kim.” Gary and Heather October 23, 2007

“Kim did a fantastic job facilitating our wedding as a JP. She gave us the guidance and suggestions we needed, and helped us to design a meaningful ceremony. She was a perfect combination of both professional and personal...just what we were looking for in an officiant to make our special day a success. We highly recommend her for anyone looking for a JP to marry them, especially if they are planning an outdoor wedding, as that is her specialty.” Dara and Jeremy October 3, 2007

“Kim is a gifted and insightful Justice of the Peace. She worked with us for weeks while we were planning our wedding. She provided inspired and exceptional ideas for vows and readings to make our day extraordinary. Kim is professional, but also allowed her energy to shine through - she brought as much enthusiasm to the day as we did! Choosing Kim to perform our ceremony was a wonderful decision and we look back on the process as well as the day with fond memories.” Jennifer and Randy October 1, 2007

Kim was great as our JP, and was also really helpful with decisions we had to make about vows and other parts of the ceremony. Obviously your wedding day is a pretty big deal, so we wanted to make sure we found a JP we both liked and could work with. Lisa and I really appreciated Kim’s suggestions and flexibility, and couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out.” Eric and Lisa, May 6, 2009

"Thank you so very much for all of your support, help and guidance on Saturday.  Your assistance with the ceremony itself, your steady hand with the pinning of the flowers and your calming voice guiding us through the ceremony were all very much appreciated and beyond what we had imagined.  It was an amazing day for us filled with the best friends and family anyone can ask for.  Thanks for being a part of our day." Jan and Jacques, August 14, 2010
