Fanteema B. Sent on 10/08/2023Wonderful officiant!
From the moment we did a video consult, we knew that Marsha Thomas was the perfect officiant for us. She asked all the right questions to make sure the wedding was tailored to our needs and personalities. She also was well prepared with everything we needed to know about the process and gave us example scripts to get us started, knowing that this experience was new for us. We didn't even need her to be at rehearsal because she gave us everything we needed beforehand. During the wedding, she was sweet, professional, and funny! It was like she was a part of our family. She fit right in! And after the wedding she was the ultimate professional, making sure our marriage license was filed and sending us proof. Her price was very reasonable for the services she provided. From beginning to end, we knew that we were in good hands. You will not go wrong with having Marsha Thomas as your officiant! -

We had the privilege of having Rev. Marsha as our wedding officiant, and I couldn't be happier with her services! From the very beginning, she took the time to truly get to know us as a couple, which made our ceremony feel incredibly personal and meaningful.
Rev. Marsha was the epitome of professionalism throughout the entire process. She was punctual, organized, and made sure every detail was in place for our special day. Her warm and kind demeanor put us at ease, which was so important during such a momentous occasion.
During the ceremony itself, Rev. Marsha officiated perfectly. Her words were heartfelt and beautifully crafted, reflecting our love story with sincerity and grace. She managed to strike the perfect balance between emotion and tradition, making our ceremony a truly memorable and moving experience.
We can't express how grateful we are to Rev. Marsha for making our wedding day so special. She exceeded our expectations in every way, and we would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a wedding officiant who goes above and beyond to create a meaningful and personalized ceremony. Thank you, Rev. Marsha, for being a crucial part of our unforgettable day!
Rev. Marsha not only officiated our wedding but also served as our premarital coach, and her guidance was invaluable. She took the time to understand our relationship on a deeper level, helping us navigate important conversations and challenges that arise in any partnership.
Her coaching sessions were not only informative but also incredibly insightful. Rev. Marsha's wisdom and experience shone through as she provided us with tools and advice to strengthen our bond and communication. Her kind and non-judgmental approach made us feel comfortable discussing even the most sensitive topics.
Having Rev. Marsha as our premarital coach not only prepared us for a successful marriage but also enhanced our connection as a couple. Her dual role as coach and officiant made our wedding day even more special, as she had a unique understanding of our journey together.
We are profoundly grateful to Rev. Marsha for her unwavering support and guidance. She played an essential role in shaping the foundation of our marriage, and we can't thank her enough for her kindness, professionalism, and dedication to making our union truly exceptional! -

Eric M. Sent on 05/30/2023Cannot Say Enough About How Great Rev. Marsha Is
Honestly from the first moment my wife and I met Rev. Marsha over zoom we knew that there was no other choice. She helped us craft the wedding ceremony of our dreams and combine our various customs into a cohesive and beautiful ceremony. Our guests never knew that the first time we met Rev. Marsha in person was the day of the ceremony because she was so fantastic to work with, she even was helping us tweak our ceremony up to the day of the wedding. Overall, I cannot say enough about Rev. Marsha. If you are considering having her be your officiant, just meet with her and you will never look back. -

Rev Marsha is one of the best
Rev. Marsha was amazing and helped us curate an amazingly beautiful ceremony. From our first meeting, my husband and I knew that we didn’t have to look any further for an officiant. You can tell that she genuinely loves what she does. She made everything so easy and always made herself available for any needs we may have had. We highly recommend her, and you will not be disappointed. -

TL;DR - Marsha is a 5/5. Wonderful to work with and delivered a beautiful ceremony for our wedding
We were a little late to the game in booking an officiant for our wedding. My fiance (now wife) and I spent months procrastinating with the idea that we might have a friend do it, but we weren’t totally sure which one and how we wanted our ceremony to look like. We knew we wanted a secular ceremony that was still meaningful to us and our guests, but other than that, we it was three months out to our wedding date and were at a loss.
We were blessed to find Marsha via the WeddingWire. We reached out online and this led us to a zoom call where she introduced herself, got to know us as people, and then reviewed her services and costs up front and with full transparency, which we greatly appreciated. She made us feel at ease and guided us through how the process would work, which included a questionnaire she would send us, a couple of zoom calls, and a drafting process where we narrowed down across multiple available options for different parts of the ceremony.
Our favorite part of Marsha’s services was the “love story” she helped us craft via the aforementioned questionnaire. This helped us document our relationship in a truly special way, then splice and dice different aspects and anecdotes for sharing wider with our friends and family. Multiple people approached us after the fact and remarked that this aspect of the ceremony made for a truly special event and one of the best they had attended (which is saying something, considering how many weddings folks have attended this year, 2022!).
Overall, we are very happy with how Marsha helped us create a special wedding ceremony for our guests and ourselves. We will be saving our ceremony document, especially the love story, to cherish for the rest of our lives. -

A great officiant!
We are very glad Rev. Marsha was able to officiate our wedding! She was very accommodating, as our ceremony date changed several times due to a covid delay. She always responded in a timely manner and gave us great advice for writing our vows. She was even flexible with all the day-of snafus. Her presence and guidance were wonderful! -

Rachel Sent on 09/21/2018Marsha was an absolutely amazing add to our wedding day! She was so professional, responsive, and detailed in everything she did for us. She sends a script of the full ceremony which was so helpful! We received so many compliments on how beautiful our ceremony was and we couldn’t have done it without her! I would highly HIGHLY recommend you at least give her a call or email her if you are looking for an officiant, I don’t think there is anyone who could have done a better job or made us as happy and stress free as she did.

Angela Sent on 05/30/2018I absolutely cannot say enough good things about Rev. Marsha. Having Rev. Marsha officiate our wedding is one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. Rev. Marsha is responsive, professional, friendly, and did such an excellent job officiating our wedding that several guests asked us how we found her! From the first meeting we had with Rev. Marsha at a coffee shop to discuss details of the wedding, Rev. Marsha felt like family. She was very flexible with us in helping us decide on the final script for our wedding and she gives you the full text of what she will say from beginning to end of your wedding ceremony so that there are no surprises on the big day. I was initially so nervous about booking an officiant that we didn't know but it worked out so well and I cannot imagine a better officiant for our day than Rev. Marsha. I always imagined that one of the pastors from my and my new husband's church where we met would officiate our wedding but with our wedding being clear across the country (we had just moved to Indianapolis) it became less feasible for us to use our home pastor. Literally from the first visit with Rev. Marsha I knew that we would have nothing to worry about on our wedding day and that not having our home pastor officiate our wedding was no longer a big deal. If you're not religious, it doesn't matter! Rev. Marsha has a wealth of experience in officiating weddings and customizes the ceremony to fit your needs. Seriously, look no further for your officiant. I would HIGHLY recommend Rev. Marsha to everyone! -
Kadjah Sent on 04/29/2018We had a wonderful experience this amazing woman. She came through to help us at the last minute, when our other person bailed out at the last minute. She made our day truly amazing. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a officiant that is true and honest.

Nicole Sent on 07/01/2018Rev. Marsha is a fantastic officiant! We decided to have a full on wedding with only a few months notice! A friend of a friend recommended Rev. Marsha as our officiant. Since we live in DC and we we're having our wedding in Chicago, we had to plan everything over the phone and via e-mail with Rev. Marsha. She was a fantastic coach and professional. She guided us, eased our concerns and helped us craft the perfect ceremony and vows. On the day of the wedding, she delivered and then some! We had a beautiful wedding ceremony and two years later (we just hit our 2nd Anniversary on 6/18/2018), we are still very grateful to the Rev. She is truly amazing!
