Rev Monique Marie made our zoom wedding so incredibly special! She made it so personal and there was not a single dry eye on the zoom and there was over 100 people logged on! Thank you so much to her for making a special day so AMAZING even through these tough circumstances!

Monique is awesome !

Monique officiated our civil ceremony in December 2018 and it was a pleasure to have her with us. We had a bi-lingual (French/English) ceremony and I think she surprised our entire families by being fluent in both language.

The wedding prep, months before the wedding, was a smooth exercise with Monique and she came prepared with a beautiful script. I can't recommend her enough.

Nous avons eu une cérémonie incroyable: personnalisée, intime, joyeuse et émouvante. Monique-Marie est une personne dynamique, disponible et fantastique. Avant la cérémonie, nous avons échangé par mail et le jour J nous avons eu l'impression qu'elle connaissait notre couple, notre histoire et notre famille comme un membre de notre famille: c'était stupéfiant. Mille mercis à vous Reverend, nous ne vous oublierons pas

We are very happy whether it is Monique which celebrated our marriage.
Monique is warm and speaks with the heart. She carried a lot of attention to our 4-year-old son and even brought him peanuts to feed the squirrels of central park.
Monique makes us a ceremony really personalized because she had taken time to know us before the marriage. A beautiful meeting!
Thank you again monique.

Thanks to Monique, our wedding in Central Park was just perfect! Her work was perfect, our emails and Skype have allowed her to discover us. Her speech was a reflection of our personality and she was so enthusiastic. Thanks a lot to Monique: she is the perfect woman to celebrate weddings :-)

Reverend Monique Marie was a blessing to work with. I found her online by chance or faith. She was very responsive and a pleasure to work with. When you're getting married you want the officiant to to do a great job no matter how big or small, Monique Marie did that for us. We actually didn't expect her to be as detailed as she was during the ceremony. It was cold out and we giggled after at how detailed she was when we were wishing it to be over but we were all grateful for her service and I'm so blessed to have found her. She turned our small ceremony into a day we would always remember. Thank you for the love and hard work you poured into our day Monique.

Reverend Monique was sooo great! My husband and I are extremely thankful to have found her. She is very kind and patient and has helped us continue to reflect on why we chose to get married. Monique created a lovely ceremony that was specifically for us and she went with the flow when things were not on schedule. We are so happy to have her! Thank you Monique you are wonderful at what you do!!!

Choosing Monique was an excellent idea. we are a gay couple from France and we went to New-York for our wedding. Monique left us an unforgettable memory and made our ceremony a magical moment. During the preparation, we realized quickly that she was very professional : she was very attentive to our expectations and spent time enough to know our story. A month before, we had a long interview with her by Skype to prepare the event. The day before the ceremony, she met us in our hotel to deal with the ultimate details. She's very gentle, very nice, open-minded, smiling and have a maternal side. If you have a doubt, don't hesitate to choose her. Today, we can say that you are very proud to have had Monique as celebrant.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
