Recommend a JP in Southern NH

samiam0270 · August 2010

So I'm from Boston, but getting married at The Granite Rose. Original plan was to have a mutual friend do the ceremony for us, but once we learned its not possible for him to be ordained for the day, we have given in to the fact we will have to hire a JP to do it for us.

Can anyone recommend any good JPs in Southern NH? We're both not religious, so we don't want anything like that, it's just a casual ceremony (Hawaiian themed) so we want someone not too dry or boring, haha.

Also, can anyone tell me how much it costs to have a JP perform the ceremony? Do we have to tip them? Do we have to provide food for the JP, or do they usually leave after the ceremony?

Thanks!

We used Jerry Penberg, he is such a kind man!
I think we paid under $300 but I don't know the exact, maybe even closer to $200. We had him and his wife join us at our Rehearsal dinner and wedding reception. His wife Peg is a jem and helped coordinate our rehersal and wedding ceremony. His website is http://nowordswilldo.com/ and we HIGHLY recommend him!

We're probably going to use Jane E. Rokes, (She's located in Keene). http://janerokesjustice.wetpaint.com/ Ceremony+rehersal $275. (Less if you don't require a rehersal).

I'm using Andrea Ryan. www.aerweddingservices.com. She's really nice and you won't have to feed her. Her fee was $350.00. Good luck!

I also used Andrea Ryan (AER) for my rehearsal and wedding. I thought she was very easy to deal with, and definitely takes all the should I invite/should I not invite her questions away by saying "I leave right after the rehearsal and the ceremony".

Also, my marriage license was filed, ready and waiting for me at Nashua City Hall one week after my wedding. Came back from our honeymoon on Sunday, and picked it up Monday morning. That was a plus since I only have this week to get this name changing business finished!
