My husband and I eloped and decided to have our small ceremony at the Kona Kai San Diego Resort. Mary Bowerman is the officiant and wedding planner they partner with and we absolutely couldn’t have pictured our special day without her. From the moment we met, Mary just has this beautiful energy, a genuine sense of love and understanding for all her clients. We felt an immediate connection with her. She loves her job so much that she underwent surgery days before our ceremony and still made sure everything would be ready (luckily her surgery went very well and she was well rested, assured us she wanted to be present). God bless because it truly felt as if family was officiating our ceremony. Since then, we’ve kept in touch with her and are even inviting her to our baby shower. Mary is AMAZING and we would highly recommend her!

Mary Bowerman LITERALLY made our wedding-- it was a super small 12 person wedding but, Mary made it feel so special!! We gave her pretty minimal instruction on our wedding vows and the florals-- yet she still managed to bring our vision to life. She exceeded our expectations as both the officiant and florist. She is very communicative and she went out of her way to get us a mini wedding cake (completely unprompted) Several of the guests went out of their way to share that she was the best officiant they've experienced for a wedding. Can't recommend her enough!!

Mary and her team are INCREDIBLE! From our initial consultation with her, we knew she was highly experienced, professional, and knew what she was doing. Throughout the process, she met with us in person several times before our wedding day, and held additional phone calls to make sure all details and timelines were up to date. Mary is detail-oriented, thorough, and so knowledgeable about the wedding industry/wedding day and she made our day so special and seamless! Our venue, the Coronado Community Center, is only a venue and we needed to hire all of our vendors separately. Mary was instrumental in making sure all the vendors were on the same page, before and during our wedding day. I had Mary's team set up all of the centerpiece we brought, and they did a fantastic job and made it look even more beautiful than I could have imagined. We had the most seamless day, and we both had so much fun! If you hire Mary, you will be able to relax and enjoy your wedding day to the fullest! We love you, Mary!! Thank you for our amazing day!
