    Janice was fantastic, flexible and so great to work with!

    Janice officiated our elopement in Maine this summer. We met via Zoom and she was so helpful in providing template ceremonies and letting us adjust to personalize in advance. She brought such great energy to our day and ceremony as well. We loved working with her for our elopement and would 10/10 recommend!

    Elopement near the water

    Janice was great! She was knowledgeable on locations and time to hold our elopement. She had many different options to choose how we wanted our ceremony to go and also had options for cake, wine and witnesses if we didn’t have our own. Two lights state park was a perfect location to me and my now husband. The ceremony went very smooth and she was very sweet. I highly recommend her services to everyone.

    Professional and eloquent officiant wows crowd

    I knew within 2 minutes of meeting Janice over the phone that she was the right officiant for our wedding. She has a sense of humor, offered a lot of compassion during the stressful vendor hire period, and clearly understood what we wanted out of a ceremony: a personalized speech with traditional but non-religious undertones. She offered to look over our handwritten vows and work with our family during a rehearsal ceremony. She even put up with my nervous, jokester dad (thank you, Janice!). At the end of our ceremony, many guests approached me and asked where I had found our officiant because she had blown everyone away. I will be recommending Janice's services to everyone I come across going forward.

    Ocean side elopement

    In need of a last minute elopement on a holiday weekend Janice was amazing! She not only pulled it off with very limited time but gave me the ability to customize our experience and made for a stress free wedding of my dreams! Thank you Janice!

    Wonderful!

    Janice was wonderful to work with! We changed our plans several times and she was flexible and understanding. From our first conversation, we knew she was professional and the right person for our small elopement ceremony. She provided options and helped us find the right words for the ceremony and vows. She took the time to talk with us and get to know us in the early planing stages. On the day of the ceremony, she was was prompt and helped us remember little things that we would have forgotten. I would highly recommend her to others.

    Excellent!

    Janice performed our wedding ceremony in July 2021. I thought it would be difficult planning a destination wedding and not being able to meet with our officiant in person; however, Janice put all our concerns at ease. She was available whenever we had questions or concerns, promptly replied to emails, spent as much time as needed on the phone with us, and helped personalize the ceremony. Janice was an absolute delight to work with and I received many compliments from our guests. I highly recommend her!

    Janice is super responsive - and very open to ideas in crafting vows. She did an amazing job at my wedding and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing an officiant in Maine. 5 stars!

    Amazing, easy & accommodating

    Janice was so awesome to work with, especially during these challenging times of Covid-19. She zoomed with me to go over details and gave me a ton of options for the ceremony. She even let me decide what we wanted to be announced as at the end. She was friendly, prompt and easy to work with. Highly recommend, 5 stars!

    Book Janice Now!

    We can't say enough wonderful things about Janice! From our first call to the filing of our marriage certificate, Janice was knowledgeable, professional, patient - really a joy to work with. She truly understood what we were looking for in a ceremony, weaving in anecdotes about our relationship to make it personal but not cheesy. And her delivery was just absolutely perfect! Of course, we were disappointed when the pandemic ruined our original plans - but our COVID wedding turned out better than we could have ever imagined and a big reason for that is Janice. Thank you, thank you!

    we could not have been happier with Janice and the services provided by Hitch Maine!

    We found Janice last minute as we arrived in Maine to elope. While we hired her to officiate she helped us plan the whole thing and made our experience so easy and enjoyable. She was able to suggest venues, provide ceremony options and even provide the witnesses. She accommodated a couple of last minute changes and helped us obtain documents in record breaking time. While Jack and I were in Maine alone for the ceremony, Janice made us feel like we were among friends. She was a complete pro and a lovely part of our wedding. Serendipity I think!

    Perfect in every way!

    Contacted Janice and scheduled a ZOOM meeting. Got acquainted and discussed the type of wedding we wanted. We gave her some dates and she was flexible and accommodating to our location. She gave us some good resources to plan our Ceremony. When the day came, she was right on time. She was flexible and patient while we prepared. The Ceremony was everything we hoped for and exceeded our expectations. Choosing Janice will make your day special in every way. She went over and above the call of duty. It made our day Perfect IN EVERY WAY!!!

    Janice made our wedding so special!

    Working with Janice was exactly what I was looking for- personal, professional, easy, and genuine. Although our original wedding plans were changed due to COVID, Janice helped make our wedding perfect. We were able to meet and discuss our specifics over zoom and she helped us to craft a perfect ceremony that included our kids and our personalized vows. I felt her love come through in our ceremony and that made it so special. Janice was very helpful in suggesting and finding a sight for us (since we were traveling from out of state) and even brought help to hold our tablet to allow our family to zoom in. I would absolutely recommend Janice!

    05/10/20 Wedding

    Janice was invaluable throughout the process/planning of our wedding. Janice was accommodating and knowledgeable about local places to hold our outdoor elopement. She was very helpful in answering all of our questions/concerns. Getting married during a pandemic wasn’t our ideal situation, but we couldn’t have made it work without Janice!

    Fantastic Officiant

    Janice was amazing to work with - she helped us put together the ceremony and wrote a beautiful address. Planning (& replanning) a covid wedding/elopement can be a bit stressful, and once I found Janice I knew we were in good hands for the ceremony. She was also incredible flexible when we moved up our weekday wedding by a day to avoid a storm! Highly recommend having Janice be part of your special day!

    Janice made our day SO SPECIAL

    Janice is a dream to work with. She made our elopement planning so easy, and was flexible when we had to move our wedding date. Most importantly, Janice understood how important it was that every word of our ceremony resonated with my husband and I. She was also fantastic in recommending several beautiful and fitting wedding sites, which was so helpful for us, as we don't live in Maine. I could not recommend Janice enough! She's amazing, and she will help bring your wedding vision to life.

    Just Perfect

    After having to scramble at the last minute to find an officiant (4 days before our wedding date), Janice was super responsive, flexible, and accommodating. She worked with us to create a custom ceremony, blending some samples she provided with words and sentiments that were meaningful to us as a couple. Her soothing voice just added to the intimacy and specialness of our ceremony! Would highly recommend!

    I can't say enough nice things about Janice's performance. We were visiting Portland, Maine for the first time so we knew very little about it. Janice provided options not only for our wedding, but also our trip. We were very pleased with her suggestions. Janice couldn't have been more patience with us either. Getting married in Portland was once a whimsical idea, but something we wanted to happen--Janice was there every step of the way. Janice even grab a bouquet for me to give to my fiancee, now wife. If you're looking to do what we did, go with Janice!!!

    Janice was an amazing officiant for our DIY wedding. She encouraged us to understand what we wanted in a ceremony and then provided us with the means to achieve it. Through her guidance and flexibility, we were able to have exactly the type of ceremony we wanted - despite not at first knowing what we truly wanted! She orchestrated the rehearsal and ceremony beautifully. She is a wonderful speaker (you can tell as soon as you speak to her) who delivered our ceremony in perfect fashion. We also sincerely appreciated all her help with the legal aspects of getting married as well! Do not hesitate to hire Janice; she is a talented officiant and also an all around great person.

    My husband and I had Janice officiate our small, backyard wedding on September 10th. We recommend her without hesitation! After reaching out to her by email and confirming she was available that day, she scheduled a phone call to get to know us (we talked about how we met, how long we’ve been together, what our wedding was going to be like, etc.) During the call I could tell that she had a lovely speaking voice (important for an officiant!), and on the wedding day I was almost overcome with her delivery of our ceremony as it was happening. The perfect speed, volume, phrasing...it was just wonderful. Pertaining to things leading up to the wedding and afterwards she was extremely helpful (e.g. sending us a collection of sample ceremonies that we used as templates to create our ceremony), reliable and thorough (e.g. fast communication via email, completing and filing the marriage license after the ceremony, etc.). Janice definitely was an essential part of what made our day so special.

    My husband and I are from Texas and eloped in Maine. Janice was so kind and helpful when my husband came to her with ideas for the ceremony (he wrote it himself) and checked in on us several times before the wedding. She also helped us find a beautiful location to get married and made the trek down some jagged boulders for our ceremony. She has a very warm personality and made us feel very comfortable throughout the entire process. 10/10 would recommend!
