Ceremony looking over the NYC bridge.

I cannot recommend Rev. Jeffries enough! She was incredibly kind, supportive, and went above and beyond for us, even finding the perfect park for our ceremony. She crafted such a beautiful, heartfelt service and shared thoughtful marriage advice from her own years of experience. My husband and I still quote her words from that day. Thank you so much, Rev. Jeffries, for starting our marriage journey on such a meaningful and joyful note.

Maureen is the BEST!

We got married on 12/31/2024 and once every month for a year leading up to our wedding date we met with Maureen so she could get to know us so that way our ceremony could feel more personal and felt like a friend was marring us. Maureen was extremely professional and all of our guests raved about her! The ceremony was light hearted, romantic, and sentimental (just what we asked for). There was not a dry eye in the audience! We would recommend Maureen to anyone in a heartbeat.

Made it truly “us”

Rev. Maureen Ellen Jeffries was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the start, she was incredibly responsive and flexible; she even made time for late-night calls when we had questions or needed guidance. What really set her apart was the care she took to understand our culture and what mattered most to us and our families. She didn’t just “show up and officiate”; she listened, offered thoughtful suggestions, and helped shape a ceremony that felt personal, meaningful, and authentically us.

On the wedding day, she was calm, warm, and so professional. Her delivery was heartfelt and beautifully paced, and she created a ceremony that felt elevated without feeling scripted or generic. If you’re looking for an officiant who is kind, culturally respectful, and genuinely invested in making your ceremony special, we cannot recommend Rev. Jeffries enough.

Maureen is wonderful!!

Maureen was the perfect choice for our day. Our original officiant fell through, so we inquired with Maureen later in the process, and luckily enough she had the day available and was willing to meet and work with us in just three weeks. I appreciated that she took the time to get to know us as people, as a couple, and the families/story that lead us to this point in our relationship. We were able to meet over Zoom a couple times to talk about everything, our wants and needs and anything we didn’t want. Maureen drafted the ceremony and did a walkthrough in case we wanted to change anything (which we didn’t!) Our wedding was in November, so it was cold, so we discussed that if it was way too cold or any bad weather, we could take out specific parts to shorten it just a bit. All that being said, Maureen was well prepared and offered a lot of insight that we wouldn’t have thought of. She even made sure our bridal party & groomsmen did a walkthrough so they knew where the needed to be (which the venue didn’t!!) Maureen is easy-going, but on top of even more than I would think an officiant typically would be- she went above and beyond. I can’t say enough how perfect of a choice she was!

Truly one beautiful day!

A beautiful, heartfelt ceremony for my niece’s wedding. The officiant was warm, engaging, and spoke so meaningfully about the couple and family. Truly memorable.

A Lasting Impression on Us and Our Guests

Maureen was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. She brought such warmth and kindness to every interaction, and she offered thoughtful guidance as we got to know one another, which truly helped us feel prepared and supported. On our wedding day, she delivered a beautiful ceremony that felt personal, heartfelt, and perfectly us. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about her—they loved her calming voice, her presence, and the wonderful way she led the ceremony. Maureen left a lasting impression on everyone, and we’re so grateful she was part of our special day. Highly recommend!

A journey you’ll remember

Rev Maureen Jeffries is such a blessing. From the first conversation I knew she was the person we needed to marry us. She helped us through so much before the wedding and made our special day that much more special. She shines from the inside out and has so much wisdom to share. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone! She was so accommodating, we had a change of plans and eloped. She came all the way to Connecticut! We appreciate you so much and you at forever in our hearts! We cannot thank you enough!

Simply the best!

Maureen truly goes above and beyond for her couples. She is more than just an officiant. My husband and I spent over a year meeting monthly with Maureen. In this time, she got to know us as individuals and as couple in order to personalize our wedding ceremony. Most of our sessions, Maureen offered pre-marital counseling and helped guide my partner and I through uncomfortable conversations every couple should have before they get married. In the year+ we spent with Maureen, we developed a deep connection with her. This was especially important to us because we wanted our officiant to truly know us aa individuals and a couple. We would recommend her to any and every couple!

BEST Officiant & Friend!!!

Maureen was amazing from the first moment we met her and every single moment after that. The second we met Maureen, we knew she was the perfect person to marry us. Most officiants meet you maybe twice and then the day of your wedding, which felt very impersonal to us. Maureen spends time with you leading up to your wedding, really spending the time to get to know you. Not only does this wholeheartedly reflect in the ceremony itself, but it makes the journey itself wonderful and you walk away with a new friend. She speaks with such compassion, kindness and love. Our entire family after the ceremony kept raving about how amazing she was too. We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about her and how much we recommend her. We cannot thank her enough!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
