Nope! We provide Justice of the Peace services as part of every package, or you are welcome to have a friend or family member officiate for you. Either way, you’ll need to apply for your marriage license prior to your ceremony and bring it with you on the day. You can find more information in the mass.gov guide to Getting Married in Massachusetts.

A “micro wedding” often refers to weddings with less than 20 guests present. Some say less than 50. Like most things wedding-related, it’s subjective.

An elopement usually includes the couple and potentially a few witnesses. Small weddings, again, are relative! An 80-person wedding is large to some, but small compared to a 300-person affair. Don’t let yourself get caught up with semantics. You can call a Dearly wedding whatever you’d like. It’s designed to be nothing other than yours.

Our teeny tiny chapel is designed to cap at under 20 guests comfortably, including our couple and any vendors, such as a photographer/videographer or Dearly staff. This being said, you’re welcome to continue the party with a larger group in one of Bow Market’s dedicated event spaces!

We can take this show on the road! Check out our Justice of the Peace services or ask us our recs for the perfect party spots. We even have a partnership with our pals at Juliet if you don’t want to miss out on Dearly photos.

Sorry, had to sneak that one in there. Dearly is built to provide an elegant alternative to a Boston courthouse or Vegas chapel, at a price that won’t leave you sticker shocked.

Absolutely. The booking process is the same for vow renewals and weddings.

Dearly is brought to you by me, Jusmine Martin — hi!
