The Perfect Package

After 2 years of unsuccessfully trying to plan a wedding, I halfway joked to my fiancé about just going to the courthouse. After he agreed, I became uncertain if I really wanted to give up some of the traditional aspects of a wedding. I decided I wanted pictures, flowers, and the beach wedding but I also wanted to give up all of the anxiety and stress of worrying about anything and everything!
I came across the Coastal Pointe website and found the Micro Wedding Ceremony Package... officiant, photographer, flower bouquet, boutonniere, etc! I sent an email explaining what we were looking for and if we could make it happen in 2 weeks! Mary quickly responded. She was extremely professional, helpful, and made everything SO easy and stress free! The flowers were beautiful, the photographer was wonderful, and the ceremony was intimate and perfect... it was everything we wanted!

Look no further!

We could not have been more pleased with Mary's performance as our officiant. Being from out of town, an officiant was one of the hardest roles for us to fill, but once we met with Mary we knew we finally found the perfect option. She is well spoken, kind, knowledgeable, and a great listener. She made the whole process smooth from our first meeting to writing our ceremony to rehearsal to wedding day. If Mary is free for your wedding date, consider yourself blessed and look no further!!

Marco Island Beach Elopement

Mary was so wonderful to work with! She was flexible and responsive. She is one of the sweetest most kind people! I am so glad I found her to perform our private beach front elopement ceremony. We have been engaged for almost a year and we were going to be down on our regularly scheduled winter vacation and decided to go ahead and get married while down there as this was our first ever adult/alone vacation since having children. We don't get alone time very often with having 3 boys between us. This was a second marriage for us both and we really just wanted a simple, private sunset vowels ceremony. Mary listened to everything I had shared and honored that we wanted something simple just us with sweet traditional vowels. She wrote the most beautiful little ceremony personalized to us from what I had shared with her and we loved it! It was perfect! are we couldn't thank you enough for being flexible and amazing and priced so well compared to others! We would highly recommend Mary to others!

Absolutely lovely!

Mary is the kindest soul in the world! She is sooo passionate about marriage and love. She is extremely professional and on top of everything. She made our ceremony so so special and knew just what to say. Our initial worry was that our family is religious and we are not. Mary perfected our ceremony to make our families and us happy with religious aspects in our ceremony without taking away what we genuinely believe or practice on a daily basis. Since we didn't get married in a church, she brought exactly what we were missing. I cannot recommend her enough!

Seamless and perfect!!

Mary was truly a Godsend! We planned our out of state wedding with her in about three weeks. From the moment we first spoke, I had the utmost confidence in her and how the day would turn out - she did not disappoint and even exceeded all I had hoped the day would be. She managed all of the details (flowers, photographer, little extras) and couldn’t have written a more perfect ceremony! Her follow through is stellar and she has an amazing gift. I recommend her without any hesitation!!

A truly great experience

Our intimate wedding at Tigertail Beach, Marco Island, was really wonderful and memorable. Our experience with Mary was truly delightful. Her communication was outstanding—always responsive, available, and exceptionally helpful.
The “EVERLASTING ELEGANCE WEDDING BUNDLE“ offered, encompassing both photography and videography, enhanced the richness of our wedding memories.
Although there were minor nuances in managing the pronunciation of the bride's name during the ceremony and in the scripting of the keepsake, these occurrences did not overshadow the overall positive impression.
Mary paid attention to many details, and she goes above and beyond. We're grateful for her expertise in making our wedding day at Marco Island special and unforgettable. It was a truly great experience.

Wonderfull Experience!🍾🥂

I wholeheartedly recommend Mary Gehr as a wedding officiant for any couple looking to celebrate their special day. She recently officiated our 25-year renewal of vows ceremony in Naples, Florida, and we couldn't have been more thrilled with her services. Mary's attention to detail, warmth, and professionalism were evident throughout the entire process. She took the time to understand our love story and crafted a ceremony that captured the essence of our journey together. Her delivery was heartfelt, and she created a beautiful and meaningful experience for both us and our guests. Mary Gehr exceeded our expectations, and we are grateful to have had her as our officiant.

Highly recommend Mary Gehr to make your ceremony a beautiful and special memory.

I was so happy to have found Mary Gehr. I searched officiants in Marco Island and Mary had the best reviews of all of them. She was quick to respond with any questions I had and she made me feel so confident that she would make our ceremony a very personal and a beautiful experience. She was very pleasant to work with. She walked us through all the legalities of getting married in Florida since we weren’t residents. My husband and I would highly recommend Mary! She truly made our wedding special!"

Wonderful, heartfelt, memorable ceremony!

Mary was awesome! She officiated my daughter’s wedding on Marco Island June 17,2023. The ceremony was perfect! Exactly everything we discussed with her , she executed. It was a beautiful and heartfelt ceremony. Mary is a lovely lady who puts her heart into the ceremony. The couple was very much at ease with her on their special day. She’ll personalize the ceremony to your exact requests. Family and friends who attended commented on how friendly, warm, and engaging she is. She is a gem!
