Congratulations on your upcoming wedding and thank you for considering me to be a part of your special day.

I am a retired educator, coach and athletic director with much experience in public speaking.

I was appointed Justice of the Peace January 2017 and I am allowed by law to perform marriage ceremonies anywhere in the State of Connecticut. I’m also an ordained minister with the Universal Life Church.

My philosophy is “Your Day, Your Way”! Weddings should be as unique and special as you are and your ceremony should reflect this.  As your Wedding Officiant I will work closely with you to create a truly personal and memorable ceremony.

Please call 203-231-0487 for availability and pricing or request a quote via email at bev@jpbevlowden.com.

For email inquiries please include the date and location of your ceremony, along with any questions you have.

A deposit of $50.00 to confirm the date is asked for and is applied to the balance due on the day of ceremony.

State residency is NOT required to get married in CT. No blood tests are needed, and no witnesses are required and there is no waiting period. A couple can be married in a few hours from application to proof of marriage.

MARRIAGE LICENSE:

A marriage license is required of any couple (including same sex couples) getting married in CT. The license fee is $50.

You must get your Marriage License from the Town in which you are getting married in. You will need a valid Photo ID (driver’s license or passport).

A Marriage License is valid for 65 days. (You must get married within 65 days of applying for your license.)

To obtain a marriage license from the Seymour Town Clerk’s office, you must be getting married in the Town of Seymour. Please see www.seymourct.org for additional information.

Since wedding ceremonies vary, my fee depends on what is involved, the location and if there is a rehearsal prior to the day of ceremony. Typically prices for a ceremony will range between $100 to $200. Additionally, the rehearsal is typically half the price of the ceremony.

A deposit of $50.00 to confirm the date is asked for and is applied to the balance due on the day of ceremony. Cancellations are refundable up until 60 days prior to the ceremony, less a 20% fee. No refund will be given within 60 days of the event.

Please call 203-231-0487 for availability and pricing or request a quote via email.

When Performing your ceremony, I wear a black judicial robe with a royal blue and white stole.
