Suffield, CT

Justice of the Peace
People of All Faiths Celebrated

I welcome all couples and promise to work with you to plan an individualized, meaningful, and joyful wedding. Let me help make your special day a wonderful occasion to remember. I’m available for weddings small and large, and have even officiated last-minute ceremonies.

I would love to help you to write your own personal ceremony narrative, and can also coach you with favorite sample offerings if you prefer.  As a musician, I appreciate poetry, and the beauty of the English language, applying these skills to bring your ceremony to life through warmth and love.

Mr. Barnes is a wonderful person who conducted our wedding ceremony, and made our day extra special. He worked with us to plan the wedding ceremony, including our cultural rituals. He made the time to do the rehearsal, and understand our needs and preferences for our day.

We are so happy that you officiated our wedding. You do amazing work. You returned our calls, kept on top of the vows, helped by providing the original words, and worked with us to do final editing… it was just beautiful.

Tim saved our big day. After not being able to reach our initial justice of the peace the day before and the day of our small ceremony to confirm details, we called him 4 hours before we were supposed to say I do. Tim heard us out and was so empathetic to our situation. Even though he had another event later that day, he came to our site and married us! The ceremony was just what we wanted. He was flexible and willing to make it work so we would be able to get married that day.

Tim officiated our wedding and did an outstanding job! We are very appreciative that he was such an important part of our wedding; he made our ceremony so special. He went above and beyond to explain his role, show us examples of ceremonies, and help us to personalize ours. He made sure that he had a clear understanding of our preferences.

Tim’s warm personality and positive spirit came across in his wonderful delivery of our ceremony. We highly recommend Tim to couples seeking a professional and genuine officiant for their special day.
