    Highly recommend!!!

    Shelly officiated our June 2024 wedding at Zorvino Vineyards and we couldn’t be happier! We chose the Love Story package and it made our ceremony so personal and special. Multiple people came up to us after the ceremony and asked how we knew Shelly - they were shocked to hear that we didn’t know Shelly personally prior to officiating our wedding because of how personal the ceremony felt. We also incorporated a reader and a unity candle ceremony and Shelly did a beautiful job weaving everything in. She thinks of every detail - like asking what the wedding party is wearing so she can plan her outfit accordingly, or moving to the side during the first kiss. Shelly was so kind and professional. We highly recommend her services!

    New Hampshire Justice of the Peace - Shelly Mead's reply:

    Thank you so much, Jacqueline! It is truly a compliment when the guests think that we have known each other for ages. It was a pleasure to work with you and Andrew to create the perfect ceremony! I wish you both the best!

    Shelly is amazing!!

    Shelly was absolutely phenomenal to work with and we could not be happier that she was the one to marry us! She was supportive and flexible and collaborated with us to create our perfect ceremony! We easily communicated with her through the whole process and we felt so comfortable working with her. She was patient and kind and genuinely happy to be part of our day. We cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience was and would recommend her to anyone!

    Shelly is an AMAZING officant

    Shelly was an amazing officiant. She was very through and made our day very special with her words. She emailed us to keep us aware of what to do and preview of our vows. We live out of state, and she made it so easy to communicate with her! She helped us incorporate our blended family with a sand ceremony added in

    New Hampshire Justice of the Peace - Shelly Mead's reply:

    Thank you, Vanessa! Your kind words mean so much. I loved getting to be a part of your special day with your beautiful family. Happy New Year!

    We can't say enough positive things about Shelly! She was very professional and curteous. She made our ceremony perfect. From start to finish word for word she had it written beautifully. We laughed we cried and we will remember it forever.

    We are so pleased!

    I am absolutely thrilled with the exceptional service that Shelly Mead provided as our wedding officiant. From the moment we contacted her, she exhibited unparalleled availability and responsiveness. Her willingness to address all of our queries and her graciousness in guiding us through the entire process made us feel truly at ease.

    Shelly's warm and approachable demeanor created an instant connection, making her not just an officiant, but a friend. She went above and beyond by not only embracing our unique ideas but also offering her expertise to enhance them. Her flexibility in accommodating our Mandarin translator was particularly remarkable, showing her commitment to making our day truly special and inclusive.

    One of the standout moments was Shelly's involvement in our Candle and Wine Unity ceremony. Her guidance and involvement added a profound and personal touch to the ceremony, making it a cherished memory for us and our guests.

    In summary, Shelly Mead is more than a wedding officiant; she is a gem who genuinely cares about making your big day perfect. Her combination of professionalism, kindness, and willingness to go the extra mile is a rare find. Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend Shelly to anyone seeking an officiant who will transform their wedding into an unforgettable and personalized experience.

    New Hampshire Justice of the Peace - Shelly Mead's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. It was a joy to take all of your ideas and make a perfect and unique ceremony just for you. Your review encapsulates what I always hope to achieve with all of the couples that I work with and I appreciate you taking the time to put it into words! I wish you all the best in your next chapter of married life! ❤️

    JP Shelly Mead

    It was a joy to work with Shelly for our wedding ceremony. We selected the “Love Story” option and could not have been more impressed with her ability to weave together our separate perspectives and unique experiences. She worked with us to create a special unity ceremony as well that fit seamlessly into the ceremony as a whole. Our guests also noticed and commented on her wonderful delivery, with some sharing that it was the most beautiful ceremony they had ever witnessed. Leading up to the wedding, Shelly passed along helpful insight/tips and was also sure to follow up after completing the marriage license. Shelly is truly one of a kind and we cannot recommend her enough!

    New Hampshire Justice of the Peace - Shelly Mead's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind review, Darci! I love getting the chance to tell a little bit of your love story for you and your guests! It was truly a pleasure and I wish you all the best!

    Fantastic officiant!!

    Shelly was a JOY to have officiate our wedding ceremony! From our very first meeting with her she helped us feel so comfortable and at ease with the way our ceremony would be scripted. It was evident she put time and thought into creating a ceremony tailored specifically to us and even thought to send us helpful reminders about having someone hold my bouquet and present the rings; all little details that may have slipped our minds but were so thoughtful. We were so thrilled to have her be a part of our day!

    New Hampshire Justice of the Peace - Shelly Mead's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Tracy! I was thrilled to be part of your day and it makes me so happy to hear that I was able to put your mind at ease with some of those little details. Best of luck to you and Al in your next chapter of life together!

    Wonderful to have Shelly part of our big day

    Shelly was the officiant for our October
    ,2022 wedding. She made my husband and I feel so at ease with the whole process of formulating how we wanted the ceremony to go and any suggestions that were made she adjusted according before our big day. Shelly wrote and read a beautiful love story about not only us, but our family which made so many tear up at our wedding. Shelly was a kind and warm face to look and listen to during those emotionally points of the ceremony. Our guests have repeatedly told us how beautiful and unique our ceremony was all due to Shelly. If you are considering her for your officiant, don't hesitate. Just meeting with her will help you understand how wonderful she is!

    New Hampshire Justice of the Peace - Shelly Mead's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Haley! It was such a pleasure to work with you to create a beautiful, unique and meaningful ceremony for you and your family! I wish you all the best!

    Wonderfully authentic and beautiful wedding ceremonies by Shelly!

    We had an amazing experience working with Shelly for our 11/12/22 wedding. From the start and throughout the experience, Shelly was kind, prompt, detailed and incredibly thorough. We felt the utmost confidence knowing that our ceremony was in her hands. After my husband and I each completed questionnaires for Shelly separately, she created a ceremony that was beautiful, unique, and incredibly true to us both as individuals and as a couple. It was wonderful and authentic. We cannot thank her enough for her calming demeanor, her attention to detail, and her beautiful and artful writing skills. We received countless compliments from our friends and family about how beautiful, true to us, and moving our ceremony was. Thank you truly, Shelly! We would highly, highly recommend her to any couple in search of a true, meaningful and authentic wedding ceremony.

    You won't regret working with Shelly.

    I couldn't be happier with choosing Shelly to be our JOP for our wedding ceremony. She is kind, attentive, and so easy to work with. With only one call and a few e-mails, Shelly was able to draft up a reading and vows that fit us perfectly without sounding generic. She sends this draft well in advance for you to look at in case there are any changes that you would like to be done. What makes Shelly a true all star is that she was able stand and execute our entire ceremony with an ankle injury without her crutches!

    New Hampshire Justice of the Peace - Shelly Mead's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Jennifer! I'm so glad my ankle didn't affect the joy and love that surrounded you and Brian for your mountain top wedding! It was a pleasure to work with you!

    Absolutely Amazing

    Shelly was amazing from start to end! She put so much detail and thought into our ceremony. Both my husband and I are not big on being the center of attention so we wanted our ceremony to be short and sweet and shelly delivered! Her communication through the entire process was impeccable. She sent us a draft to review and made any changes we had requested for. Month of the wedding she sent us the copy to review again to verify that it was still what we wanted! Day of, she delivered the ceremony so beautifully, it could not have been more perfect!

    New Hampshire Justice of the Peace - Shelly Mead's reply:

    Thank you so much, Janelle! I am so glad that we were able to make your wedding ceremony everything you envisioned. I wish you and Nick all the best!

    Shelly was the officiant for our wedding this past weekend. She did an outstanding job! She was so attentive and had amazing communication throughout our entire process. She took notes on what we liked and didn’t like, she even added in personalized sections to our ceremony that made it so much more touching. She really took the time to listen and learn about us before crafting our personalized ceremony. I highly recommend her! She was so wonderful to work with!

    Shelly has such an amazing energy she puts into her work. She is extremely thorough and attentive to any needs and requests, and responds very quickly. You always feel heard with her.

    Fantastic!

    Thank you so much, Shelly! Kait and I are huge nerds, and Shelly managed to tell a love story about us that was both elegant and fantastical at the same time. People...she quoted Tolkien for us! She's extremely charismatic and provides you with a draft copy of her story way in advance. Kait and I didn't need to change a thing about it! We were crying just reading through what would eventually be a story told to our friends and family. Please hire Shelly to be your officiant. I promise you won't regret it for even a second.

    New Hampshire Justice of the Peace - Shelly Mead's reply:

    Any time I get to quote Tolkien and Frozen in the same ceremony, you know the couple is just amazing! Thank you so much for your kind words, Cole! It was such a pleasure to work with you and Kait and I wish you all the happiness together!

    Fantastic Experience!

    Shelly was AMAZING! She made everything simple and was one of the best parts of the entire planning process. She worked closely with my husband and I and answered my numerous questions without batting an eye. Our ceremony was PERFECT because of Shelly. I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding officiant. Pick her, you won’t be disappointed!
