Ashley Bourassa
Notary/Officiant
Ashley obtained her online officiant license through the Universal
Life Church in 2020 when her best friend was struggling to plan her
upcoming wedding in the midst of the pandemic. They worked
together to craft the perfect nuptials for their style and story, and the
wedding turned out perfect.
After successfully facilitating their wedding, Ashley later obtained her
notary public license in Maine in the summer of 2023.
With no fear of speaking in front of groups of people, Ashley is happy to
accommodate custom nuptials with the bride & groom. She wants you to have the
day you dreamed, down to the very words spoken to seal the deal on your big day!
In her spare time, Ashley enjoys spending time with her dog- Mocha, family & friends.
