Kind words, lasting memories

After the vows,
in their own words.

Notes from people who came to Provincetown, trusted us with the details, and left carrying something new.

Applause

What stays with people.

The setting matters. So does knowing someone nearby is listening carefully.

These notes span spontaneous elopements, long-awaited marriages, traditional services, and ceremonies shaped from the ground up. What they share is the feeling of being looked after without losing what made the day personal.

“As long as we live, we will never forget the special, kind, and loving lady who made the most important day of our lives possible. We had loved each other for over 23 years, yet after getting married we experienced a new depth of love and a new feeling of security that came from taking that final step in commitment.”

— LeeAnn & Laurie

“Your welcome speech and declaration were absolutely perfect. The spot you picked, the timing, and the cheering section tied it all together. We wanted something simple, meaningful, and beautiful. It was all that and much more.”

— AJ & Bill

“Jeannette was the perfect officiant. We wanted a simple wedding ceremony overlooking Herring Cove, and she was accommodating, pleasant, and very patient. The ceremony seemed written just for us. We are grateful to her for making our wedding experience more than what we wished for.”

— Andrea & Kurt

“When my partner of 21 years and I decided to get married, we chose Provincetown because we had wanted to go there for so long. We decided to go with Jeannette, and we are so thankful that we did. When you are from out of town, it is wonderful to know you can trust someone to help you.”

— Kimberly

“It was exactly how we wished it would be. It was very thoughtful of you to have us over for a visit beforehand. That made the event feel much more personal than being officiated by a total stranger.”

— Todd & Holly

“We wanted a simple wedding on the beach with personalized elements. Jeannette helped us plan the location and timing as well as the ceremony itself. She gave us ideas, readings, and examples, but was never tied to any particular approach. She listened, incorporated the pieces we loved, and gave us an experience we will not forget.”

— Nicholas & Julius

“Your encouraging words took us from our initial plans for a courthouse wedding in Iowa and landed us on a beach at sunset. We had so much fun and now have so many beautiful memories to share. You went above and beyond for us and for Kath’s family. We loved our time with you.”

— Becky & Kath

“Jeannette performed a wonderfully traditional high-church service for us in the delightfully informal surroundings of a Provincetown guest house. We worked closely with her to craft the perfect service, which she delivered with both proper solemnity and sheer joy.”

— Jon & John

“Thank you so much for officiating our elopement! We loved our ceremony. We appreciate that you were willing to wait out the rain so we could have it in Suzanne’s garden. We had such a wonderful day and have been enjoying everyday since as newlyweds.”

— Jennifer & Olivia
