Testimonials

Heidi is most definitely one of the kindest and most genuine people that I’ve met. When I was searching for a JP for our October 2022 wedding in Greenwich, no one I spoke to who was our “vibe” until I spoke to Heidi. She was so sweet, spunky, chatty; it was like I knew her forever. As a very anxious bride and a meticulous planner I sent a lot of emails. Heidi answered every single one within hours. She met us at our venue and that is when I knew we made the right choice. She made me feel so calm (which is not an easy task). She even offered to help me find a new DJ when ours fell through a few weeks before the wedding day. Our ceremony was so much more than I ever imagined. She used every piece of information we gave her and turned it into our love story to tell in the most beautiful way. I could not have picked anyone better to officiate our day. She is truly an incredible person and an absolute professional. Thank you Heidi for absolutely everything!

There are so many details that go into planning a wedding; from the venue to the flowers to the music and the food. All these are important when creating a monumental event. However, if the flowers never showed up…the “show” would still go on. That can not be said about an Officiant! In my opinion, this individual is the KEY to setting the tone for the wedding. With so many choices for officiants, I happen to have found our PERFECT KEY…Heidi Keyes. She was helpful and informative from the very beginning. Friendly and always accessible. Even during this time when COVID-19 has turned everything upside down, Heidi’s presence gave a feeling of peacefulness and calmness as she stood before us. Heidi delivered the words of another without hesitation, with crisp articulation and poise. And in the “heat of the moment” (it was about 90 degrees), I might have forgotten a line; but even under the mask I could see her smile as she guided me back on track. Thank you Heidi for all that you are! You love what you do and it is certainly appreciated. We feel blessed to have this day with you, and the memories for the rest of our lives!

Heidi came highly recommended by our venue’s event planner and was even fondly remembered by the town’s vital record’s office. Heidi’s reputation is well earned. From the first moment we met her, she was warm, enthusiastic and truly interested in learning about us a couple. Sitting and talking with us helped her to prepare a wonderful narrative about how we met, how our relationship developed and what was important to us as individuals and as a couple. Sitting and talking with us helped her to prepare a wonderful narrative about how we met, how our relationship developed and what was important to us as individuals and as a couple. This personal touch made our vow ceremony so much more significant. With Heidi’s help, we were able to incorporate the names of important people and places in our lives into the ceremony itself. Heidi vibrates positivity and joy and that was exactly the tone we wanted for our wedding. We highly recommend Heidi as an officiant.

Heidi was suggested to us via our venue and we couldn’t be more excited to have had her be our officiant on our 6/20/2020 wedding. She really took the time to meet with us and get to know us for us. She is so kind and heartfelt, you can tell she loves what she does. She worked with us throughout the entire process and was more than just an officiant. Heidi became our confidant especially through the hardships of COVID-19. I cant say enough on how grateful my husband and I are to have met Heidi and have her be apart of our special day!

When we began looking for a JP, we knew we wanted someone friendly, funny, supportive and fun! We found that in Heidi. We met for a nice breakfast at our venue, got to know each other and had a great conversation. Heidi was there to answer all of our questions, and open to our ideas of what we wanted in our ceremony. She offered to help us write our vows, and was passionate about making sure our ceremony went smoothly and beautifully. We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect ceremony with anyone other than Heidi as our JP!

We are so thankful for Heidi’s wonderful service to us on our wedding day! From the first time we spoke all the way until the time we shared our vows, Heidi showed such interest in getting to know us as a couple so she could personalize our service; Heidi was caring and understanding of our love for one another and our needs. We asked for a simple yet beautiful sermon, and she delivered! Thank you so much, Heidi for ensuring a very special wedding service!

My fiancé and I threw a wedding together within a 2 week time frame, so there were many logistics we had to sort out. But as soon as we found Heidi to officiate our ceremony, it was like a huge weight was lifted off of our shoulders. She went above and beyond and stuck with us every step of the way with enthusiasm and patience.

She gave us the freedom to make our day feel personal and special to us. We wanted to use the ceremony that my husband’s grandmother wrote, as well as our own, and she was excited to have us do so.

When Heidi found out that I was having difficulty finding a pair of earrings for my ceremony she offered to lend me a pair of her own.

Heidi is personable and understands how important this milestone is for newlyweds. I hope every bride and every groom could have Heidi on their wedding day!

Heidi was an absolute pleasure to work with. We admittedly waited longer than we should’ve to choose an officiant/JOP. It just seemed like such an important decision as this person would be setting the first impression and the tone for the entire day. When we found Heidi, we were relieved because we felt as though she was the perfect fit. She genuinely wanted to learn about us to personalize her reading. We also think it’s notable to mention that the day of our wedding was windy! She played into it perfectly while staying on track, she didn’t let the weather affect her or our ceremony. We would recommend Heidi for your perfect wedding.

Heidi is incredibly sweet and personable. We needed a short and simple ceremony as we eloped with family and friends in Italy a few days later. Heidi did exactly what we wanted, making us both feel comfortable and special with a beautiful and short ceremony. Can’t thank Heidi enough for tailoring it to our needs and making our day so special!

We had the pleasure of finding Heidi and reached out to her about 18 months before our ceremony. She was extremely professional, thorough, organized, kind and incredibly personable. Her communication was always on point. We met up with Heidi prior to our wedding and she immediately felt like family. She was so pleasant and easy to talk to. It felt as if we had known her for years! Heidi officiated our ceremony beautifully. She took one of the most important parts of our wedding and made it happen with such ease. Heidi will always hold a special place in our hearts!

Having Heidi officiate our wedding was such a great decision! Prior to the big day, Heidi helped us through the process and answered all of our questions. On the day of, she held a beautiful ceremony. She was so warm and personal – we felt more as though it was a friend or an aunt officiating the ceremony. Thanks again Heidi!

We were so happy to have Heidi Keyes as the Justice of the Peace for our wedding. She is a personable and responsive officiant who provides the kind of ceremony you prefer. We wanted a non traditional, private ceremony with some traditional elements such as pouring libation to the ancestors and lighting a unity candle. She took the time to sit with us and listened to our ideas about how we wanted our ceremony. She helped us to find readings and plan a personalized event that felt very special to us. Heidi was eloquent and helpful throughout the entire process. She went out of her way to make our day more special. Heidi also talked us through the process for getting our marriage license and followed through with everything necessary within days of our ceremony. Her presence was supportive and the ceremony was beautiful.

We have nothing but great things to say about Heidi! Our first meeting with her we were nervous, because we had just lost our previous officiant and it was getting closer to the wedding date, and we hoped we would find the officiant with the right fit. Heidi put us immediately at ease with her easy going and professional manner and within five minutes we knew we had our officiant
Heidi is incredibly kind and understanding and helped us to better understand what would happen during the ceremony and everything leading up to our day. She customized the ceremony to our preferences and on the day of, incorporated wonderful observations that she had about us from just our handful of interactions which we loved! Heidi worked with our venue as well and everything was truly a seamless process (she is also great about emailing and texting back, which I always appreciate!) from start to finish.

Heidi made our day truly special – we could not have done it without her!

My fiancé (now husband) and I made a somewhat spontaneous decision to elope on our boat in Westport, CT. With very lttle forethought or notice, we found Heidi on findajp.com. We were immediately put at ease by her responsivess and attention to detail. She guided us through obtaining a license and was helpful throughout the condensed planning process (less than a week). We very much appreciated her openness and accommodation, Heidi has a great energy and spirit, making an already memorable day that much more special.

We feel so lucky that we found Heidi for our wedding ceremony. Neither of us has any relationship with any clergy, so we knew that we’d be engaging a “random stranger” for this very personal and intimate experience. Heidi did not feel like a random stranger! Her warmth and sensitivity were clear the first time we chatted on the phone. She crafted vows for us to use as a starting point, but we didn’t feel that we needed to change a word. On the day of our tiny COVID wedding, Heidi’s calm presence through the chaos of family – rushing in through pouring rain, bringing their own hectic energy into our little oasis – was comforting! Thank you, Heidi. You’ll always be a part of our memories of our special day!

Heidi is absolutely amazing to work with! She took the time to get to know us before our wedding and personalized our ceremony so it was perfect for us. Heidi went above and beyond and made our day that much more special!

Our ceremony was so perfect! Everything was thoroughly discussed ahead of time and execution was exceptional on the day of our wedding, it couldn’t have been any more ideal. You can tell that Heidi genuinely cares about each individual couple she deals with. We highly recommend her as your Officiant.

Heidi was absolutely wonderful to work with. We found her to be very personable and responsive to any questions we had during the process. Heidi wanted to get to know us on a personal level to make sure the vows were perfect (which they were). We would highly recommend Heidi to anyone looking to tie the knot!

Heidi preformed a wonderful elopement service for us! She is kind, friendly, personable, and helped tailor a ceremony for us that really filled our needs. Heidi made the crazy drive out to the location and hiked down a path to the perfect spot for us! We couldn’t have picked a better Justice of the Peace. If you are looking for someone to make your special day a truly SPECIAL day, then we highly recommend Heidi!

Thank you so much Heidi for being part of our special day. From the minute I spoke to you I knew you were the right person to officiate our wedding. Thank you for taking the time to walk us through the process step by step and having all the answers to our questions. You made this so easy for us. Oh, and thank you for finding the perfect location for our wedding as well. You’re the best!

Heidi Keyes was absolutely amazing. My fiancé had no idea how to go about conducting a small wedding ceremony, Heidi was truly patience and accommodating with my family by going out of her way by officiating the ceremony on a major holiday so my younger brother could attend. Heidi made sure we had the proper location and vows prepared so I can just enjoy my special moment.

Heidi was wonderful to work with for our wedding. She was very helpful in finding a time and location for our small ceremony. She even provided very sweet vows for us to read, which helped a great deal to make the process easy for us. She made the ceremony feel very special and meaningful for us and our family.

Heidi was the best choice we could have made to perform our short and sweet city hall ceremony. She scouted a beautiful outside area, she recommended excellent language for vows, she was on a first-name basis with nearly everyone at city hall, and she even helped us through the ins-and-outs of the paperwork we need to complete ahead of time. From the first encounter she was nothing but kind, personable and a big help.

Heidi is an amazing JP! COVID-19 interrupted our previous wedding plans causing us to have a very small and private ceremony outdoors. Heidi completely understood everything we were looking for to make our ceremony exactly what we wanted. She is very sweet and was so easy to work with. She helped us create the perfect ceremony that we will remember forever! Heidi was very professional, flexible, punctual, and provided us with rapid responses. We hope to use Heidi again in the future for our vow renewal! Cannot recommend Heidi enough! Thank you so much!

From the moment we spoke to Heidi, she made us feel comfortable and confident. We could immediately feel her kindness and sincerity! It was a wild year and my wife and I went from canceling our wedding to re-planning an elopement months later – Heidi took everything in stride, helping us with suggestions and encouragement along the way. Our elopement was beautiful, and we could not have been more happy with Heidi having officiate our special day!
