The Reverend L. R. Jones Is available to officiate your New England Wedding.

The Reverend Larry R. Jones is not only an ordained minister, but an award winning public speaker and a professional voice-over talent: http://www.bestvoiceover.com/. By reserving him as the officiant for your marriage ceremony, you can rest assured that you and your wedding guests will not be rendered comatose by the robotic, unfeeling and monotone ceremony delivery, common among many less talented ministers and Justices of The Peace.

You can contact him by phone at:

(603) 924-9645

or by email at:

minister@weddingminister-nh.com

    The Reverend Jones believes that joining a man and a woman together into the institution of marriage is a privilege and an honor, so his fee, for your religious or non-religious marriage ceremony, is only $150.00 (plus $0.25/mile round-trip travel expense) and includes a 1 hour appearance at your wedding rehearsal. As an added bonus, if you haven't already decided on which type of ceremony you want, The Reverend Jones' wife Denise, an experienced wedding planner, will be happy to meet with you to outline your custom wedding ceremony.

    A $25.00 non-refundable deposit will reserve the Reverend L.R. Jones for your wedding date.

    You can also choose to have a very small, quick wedding, no-rehearsal “Elopement” wedding, at the home of Reverend Jones or anywhere in Peterborough, NH for only $75.00. No reserving deposit for an “Elopement” wedding is required. Just phone ahead to see if he's available to perform your ceremony on the day you decide to get married. At the conclusion of your ceremony, we'll ring our two large wedding bells to signal to the surrounding area the joyous occasion of your wedding day.

    REMEMBER:

  • * You must have a license to marry. Couples can obtain a license at any Town or City Clerks office in the state. To find the town clerks office nearest you, click here. Your not required to obtain your license in the town where the marriage ceremony will occur, it is valid throughout the entire state. Both parties must be present to obtain the license. (This requirement may be waived if one or both of the parties are members of the armed services-contact your town or city clerk)

    * It's a good idea to call ahead to the clerk where you will be getting your license so that you'll know what required documentation to bring with you. This usually includes proof of residence, age and identity, any divorce papers or death certificates, if applicable, will be needed if you were previously married.

    * The waiting period law was revised July 4th, 2006, so there is now no waiting period before you can get married. Your clerk-issued marriage license will remain in effect for 90 days. After that period, you'll have to reapply for another one. The last I checked, the license fee is $45.00.

    * You must be at least 18 years old and free to marry (have proof you any divorce or annulment). For in-state residents, if you're under 18 years old, you can obtain a waiver for the age requirement from a county probate or Superior Court judge. Non-residents of New Hampshire do not qualify for a waiver.

    * You do not need any type of a blood test.

    * To officiate your wedding, you may choose an ordained minister, such as the Reverend Jones, an ordained priest or rabbi. If you prefer a totally secular wedding, you may also utilize a Justice of the Peace or judge.

    * In the state of New Hampshire, you do not need witnesses to either obtain the license or for the ceremony itself.

    After the wedding, the Reverend Jones will complete your marriage license and return it to your town clerk either in person or via certified mail for recording into the official records.

    In order to get a copy of your recorded marriage certificate from the town clerk that issued the license, you must request it in person or by mail. They won't do this by a phone. Depending on the town in which you obtained the license, you may request your certificate the next business day after they receive your completed marriage license back from the Reverend Jones; however, some town clerks are backlogged, and you could have to wait up to two weeks or more before your marriage is recorded, so it's a good idea to phone ahead. Effective September 1999, there will be a $12.00 charge for this official certificate.

    Keep your marriage certificate with all other important documents. This is a legal document and you will need it for name changes, insurance papers, military records etc.

    If you have any questions contact any town or city clerk or : BUREAU OF VITAL RECORDS - Concord, New Hampshire 03301 (603) 271-4654 in state or - Toll Free 1-800-852-3310 Ext.4654
