About Us

Your wedding ceremony marks the beginning of your marriage; give yours a brilliant start by contacting me today.

As your wedding officiant, I am deeply committed to providing you and your partner with the most eloquent expression of what gives your union cause to celebrate.

A sense of joy and happiness reminding everyone of why your union is special and profound is what I take pride in bringing to your special day.  Your experience with me will be pleasant, stress free and easy.  I will treat you as if you are my first AND my hundredth couple – with great enthusiasm, professionalism and a little sparkle.

Upon our first meeting, be sure to bring your ideas and questions.  We will go over your vision of your ideal wedding and the details of how I can make your ceremony memorable and meaningful so that you and your guests will have an extraordinary experience.  By the end, any questions you have will be answered and you will have a clear idea of what your ceremony will be like. 

Besides wanting something extra special, couples hire me for a ceremony that either

          * has a lot of heart, or

          * is spiritual but not religious, or

          * is Interfaith, Cultural, Intercultural, or

          * is Hindu Plus (Hindu plus Christian, Buddhist, Jewish, Muslim, etc., or Same Sex.)

 

A Little Bit About What Makes Me Different:

It is an honor and a blessing to preside over and witness the union of two souls.  More than a means to make a living, joining two people in the name of love is my Dharma – a personal calling to serve.  I am an ordained interfaith, non-denominational minister who doesn’t just study but actively participates in the world’s religions.  I don’t just talk the talk, I walk the walk.  It is not unusual to find me participating in services at a temple, synagogue, mosque, church, out in nature or in a yoga studio.  I am actively involved at the United Nations Working Group on Girls.  Together with my husband, Rev. Todd M. Engle, we founded Engle Heart.

We were all profoundly touched by the ceremony that Rev. Mary-Rose delivered for us this past weekend. Immediately afterwards and throughout the evening, our family and friends approached us to comment on the power and eloquence of her words and the beauty of her presence. One couple shared that the ceremony had moved them to recommit their own wedding vows! Others said that Mary-Rose prompted them to reflect in new ways on their relationships.

Several months prior to the big day, we had interviewed a few officiants, none of whom communicated the genuine warmth and commitment to her role in weddings that Mary-Rose did. At every stage of our preparations together, we felt that she was fully invested in getting to know us, sincerely cared about our union, and understood the potential power of the ceremony not only for us but also for our guests. Moreover, she was committed to helping us to express who we were as a couple through our vows, personalized rituals, thoughtfully composed sections dedicated to our family members' and our own story, and beautifully interwoven personal details. From start to finish, the ceremony felt uniquely us.

Throughout our preparation together, Mary-Rose was prompt and professional in her communications, even when she was on vacation on the West Coast just prior to our wedding. Our face-to-face meetings, which were thoroughly enjoyable conversations, affirmed our love and reenergized us through wedding preparations that at times were quite tedious or taxing. Mary-Rose has a great sense of humor and terrific personability.

We are thrilled to have had her. She was essential to making our day absolutely magical.
