Yes, I'll marry you!
Lisa Olech, New Hampshire Justice of the Peace
Making ‘happily ever after’ a reality since 2017
Perhaps you want a hint of historical romance, a contemporary romantic comedy, or something quirky is more your style. As the author of witty contemporary and historical romance novels, I can help you infuse your wedding with just the right touch of storytelling magic.
Want to write your own vows? I love when couples share their love story - in their own words - with their loved ones.
Want something in an out-of-the-way locale or at an unusual venue? I’ve taken part in weddings on a rustic covered bridge, on top of a mountain, and in the middle of a frozen lake.
No matter your style, I’ll bring endless creativity and flexibility to help you make your day the perfect day.
Whether you’re looking for a simple and intimate non-religious ceremony or a grand and elaborate wedding, as a justice of the peace in New Hampshire I’ll work with you and your partner to bring a personal touch to your special day.

I have experience with and warmly welcome a variety of lifestyles and traditions.
And it all starts with your love story.
With my passion for love stories, I’ll start by asking you how you and your future spouse met. Was it love at first sight? Did you meet online? A blind date?

"Lisa was so easy to work with and kept me calm all the way up to the moment of the ceremony, even when I was stressing out."

Kinds words from a couple I’ve worked with
As a published author, for over a decade I’ve spun tales of happily ever afters and swoon-worthy romance.
I became a wedding officiant in 2017 believe it or not as a way of stepping out of my comfort zone. I’m an introvert, as most writers are, but I wanted a way to combine my passions while at the same time build my confidence as a speaker. Now I get to step into that amazing sliver of a couples’ life and be a part of their real life love stories. What I’ve found is that whether a couple has ten guests or two hundred, there is an intimacy between me and my couple during their ceremony. In those few moments I get to stand and experience their love for one another. It’s awe inspiring, and I consider it a great honor.
I’m licensed to officiate nuptials throughout the state of New Hampshire.
I’m COVID-19 vaccinated!
Falling in love. Being in love. Sharing stories of love. I love it all!
I’m Lisa. And I love… love.

Jessica Roberge
“Lisa was great to work with leading up to the wedding and the day of. It was so helpful to have some example vows and writings to go off of. You can tell she really loves love. Lisa reminded my husband and I to take a breath and focus on each other just before the ceremony. She did a fantastic job and I still have guests saying how beautiful of a ceremony it was. It went off without a hitch and we wouldn’t have changed anything.”
Heidi Halko
“Lisa was professional and calming on our wedding day. It was a pleasure to have her present on our special day! We highly recommend Lisa! She’s so attentive, cheery and fun!”
You and your partner can write your own vows but I am also happy to write them for you.
How far will you travel?
I’m based in the very center of New Hampshire but as a licensed Justice of the Peace can officiate anywhere in the state. Travel over 50 miles will incur a small charge and weddings held during the winter months may require a night’s lodging due to inclement weather.
How soon do I need to book you for my wedding?
With no waiting period in New Hampshire, and no need for witnesses, if you have a valid marriage certificate, I could marry you today, next week, next month, next year! Please contact me to check my availability.
My wedding services start at $300.
Does your starting price include the ceremony rehearsal?
Ceremony rehearsals are not included in my basic wedding package but can be added for an additional fee to ensure your service flows flawlessly on your big day.
On average, how long are the wedding ceremonies that you officiate?
Most of my ceremonies take less than 30 minutes, but are customizable to your wishes.
