About

Love is a friendship that has caught fire.  Hold that fire in your hearts to keep you warm and light your way on this journey through life together.”

 Ceremonies Your Way serves the metro-Phoenix area; offering unique ceremonies specifically catered to your needs.  Our comprehensive ceremony preparation packet enables you to write a ceremony that is uniquely your own.  Rev. Marnie Olsen, a non-denominational minister specializing in wedding ceremonies, has an extensive background in public speaking and theatre production; giving you a professionally managed wedding experience.  Rev. Olsen will come to your location to perform ceremonies your way.

 We can perform civil, spiritual, traditional, non-traditional, blended family, multi-cultural, elopement, and themed weddings.

 Your special event will begin with a consultation to determine your ceremony needs.  

Rev. Olsen conducts the rehearsal to determine the wedding party’s placement, practice any musical exchanges, and run through the ceremony.

On the day of the wedding, we will arrive 1 hour before the ceremony to check last minute details and coordinate the wedding party. 

Following the ceremony, we will sign the marriage license and file it with the clerk of court within 7 days.

For additional fees, microphones and PA system are available, as well as recorded music and live musical performers.

Additional Questions and Answers
Q:  We aren’t religious and don’t belong to a church, is that OK?
A:  Not everyone needs to attend church to have a close, intimate relationship with God.  You may not be religious but I’m sure that you have faith, faith in your heart that you love each other and you want to marry each other.  That is spirituality. 

Q:  Will you re-format readings to fit our needs? 
A:  Yes, if you find something you love and it is written in such a way that you were to read it to each other and you want me to read it to you and you respond with "I Do", I can do that for you.

Q:  I don’t have a wedding coordinator - is that OK?
A:  Yes, I will help you through the process, run the rehearsal and on the day of assist you with last minute details.  If something needs to be done to start on time, I will do it or find someone who can.  If your florist forgets your boutonnieres, I will make some.  If your dress rips out, I will stitch it closed.  Whatever needs to happen to get the job done, no problem.

Q:  Do you perform other services?
A:  Yes, I perform Baptisms, Baby Blessings, House Blessings, and Funerals.
