Warm Presence

Beth was the perfect officiant for our June 2025 wedding in Harpswell, Maine. From our very first call, she was a warm and calm presence. She guided us through the process exactly how we needed; she wasn't overbearing but could answer any questions we had. For the rehearsal and wedding day, Beth was prepared, calm, knowledgeable, and offered helpful tips. Would highly recommend Beth for your ceremony!

Beth crafted the most beautiful ceremony that perfectly captured our journey, love, and laughter. Her thoughtful storytelling brought out the essence of our relationship, making it the highlight of our wedding. Surrounded by family and friends, we couldn’t have asked for a more meaningful experience. Thank you, Beth, for giving us a ceremony that was everything we dreamed of and more!

Thank you!

Beth was wonderful to work with. She explained her process well and provided every option to customize our ceremony to fit us as a couple. She even created a sweet story about us after we submitted our answers to a few of her questions. On the day of Beth was punctual, professional, and absolutely wonderful! We're so glad we chose her as our officiant. We had several guests comment about how lovely she was and what a great job she did as well. Thank you Beth!

Beth is Wonderful!

Beth is a wonderful officiant and we would recommend her to anyone! Beth wrote a lovely story about our relationship based on questionnaires we each sent her and the hand fasting ceremony was a fun add on. Beth was very communicative and easy to work with. All photos by Dawson Renaud Photography.

A wedding just as We anticipated that exceeded our expectations

Our wedding was outstanding and exactly the way we wanted it to be, short and sweet and by the sea. Beth made all the arrangements so the process was seamless. We we're married at the beach and Beth also provided witnesses for our ceremony since we are from out of state. My wife and I eloped just as we imagined and could not have anticipated a better marriage ceremony with everything provided from vows to the lovely traditional marriage recitals. Thank you Beth for outstanding services and effective efforts.

Amazing experience

Beth really made our special day that much more special. Her commitment to really get to know my husband and I which allowed for a personalized and intimate ceremony had our family and attendees saying “that was the most beautiful wedding ever!” I’m really thankful Beth was part of our special day - thank you for everything!
