"Jonjy performed a simple but meaningful marriage ceremony for me in the middle of the pandemic.  He followed all safety procedures and did a wonderful job.  I wouldn't have changed a thing.  I highly recommend."  

"At the beginning of the pandemic, I knew it would be challenging finding a Justice of the Peace as a solid fit for my wedding until I found Jonjy. Not only was Jonjy very responsive and reasonable, but he was also able to cater to all our needs.

On another note, I felt like Jonjy put a special bubble or forcefield around our relationship and marriage, protecting us again[st] any dark or evil spirits. It’s been two years now since I’ve been married to an immigrant (she just got accepted [for] her green card after the interview today) and we have always been very happy together. Thanks again Jonjy!"

​

What is the simplest most convenient ceremony we can get?

The simplest is an elopement.  An elopement is when the couple comes by themselves and gets married in front of their justice.  This is often more convenient to avoid the stress of a big ceremony or with a destination wedding where the couple wants to avoid the legal complexities of marrying in a foreign country by getting legally married first before traveling around for their wedding with guests.
