I'm Aretha Gaskin, a New Jersey wedding officiant and Certified Municipal Registrar.
For more than a decade, I've helped couples throughout New Jersey and the NY tri-state area create ceremonies that actually feel like them, whether that's a large wedding with a full guest list and a produced timeline, or an intimate elopement with just the two of you.
I bring the same preparation and presence to every ceremony I officiate, along with the legal and paperwork knowledge to make sure everything is handled correctly, no matter which path you choose.
