Welcome to my Weddings Page

In my capacity as Justice of the Peace, I am happy to officiate at weddings anywhere in Eastern Massachusetts. I will perform any form of wedding you desire, including Modern, Religious, Traditional, and Same-sex. I also can provide suggested readings for friends and family members. My signature trademark is that I like to end the ceremonies with a special blessing: the Apache Wedding Blessing. For more information, call me at 781-326-3886 during business hours, or e-mail me at the following address: tony@tvisconti.com
