Honestly cannot say enough good things about Marion!!! Our previous officiant (not naming names but she has a strong online presence) let us down 3 weeks before wedding. Marion stepped in, soothed our frayed nerves, and worked with our budget to craft a ceremony that was uniquely us. We wanted a ceremony that was "sweet, touching, & humorous" and Marion delivered just that. She gave us plenty of time to proofread our script and told us to make any changes we wanted, with no need to justify or explain anything. She skillfully managed the problems during the ceremony (i.e. lots of onlookers and some mistakes during the vow exchange). All in all, I would HIGHLY recommend Marion. You won't be disappointed.

Marion is great! I met her as a wedding officiant at my friend's wedding and heard only great things about her.
Now it was my time to be a bride and do the wedding planning. I had very little time left and wanted something small and private.
Marion has responded right the way and was very flexible in time/place arrangement.
Marion is a good listener and... a great speaker! From the moment we started the draft to the actual wedding ceremony, she has been very attentive to details, professional and enthusiastic.

Marion officiated at our wedding this past Friday, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. She was amazing to work with from start to finish, and we felt comfortable communicating with her from our very first meeting (which ended up lasting upwards of 2 hours, since we had such a great time getting to know one another!).

From there on, Marion gathered information from us to craft a custom ceremony that reflected our relationship and values as a couple. Throughout the process she was extremely flexible and accommodated all of our requests and changes, and she delivered a first draft in a timely fashion, which left us with plenty of time to comb through and make any changes we wanted.

At the wedding, Marion did a wonderful job with officiating; so many of our guests raved about her afterwards, and we received so many compliments on how touching and beautiful our ceremony was. This was a truly special experience that helped set the tone for our entire celebration. We cannot thank Marion enough for her contribution to our unforgettable evening!

Marion was great to work with. She had great suggestions for the ceremony content but went with what we wanted. Our ceremony ended up being very laid back and interactive - Marion picked up on the vibe and went with it. The feedback from attendees was that they really enjoyed her so it wasn't just us - everyone in attendance thought she did a great job and fit right in with our merry group. She did a great job of blending the seriousness of the occasion with our more relaxed and fun vibe. Thanks Marion!

Marion was wonderful! She made sure that our ceremony was exactly the way we hoped it would be and that it felt really personal and unique to us. She made it romantic and sweet without feeling cliche. She was warm and friendly and each one of our guests told us how much they loved our ceremony.

Marion Seymour made our wedding day that much more special with her positive energy and exuberance.

From start to finish, she took time to listen and understand our needs and what was truly important for us to communicate in our wedding ceremony. The script that she wrote was beautifully tailored to the history of our relationship and our hopes for the future.

We could not have asked for a better officiant!

Marion was great, we had a pretty short time frame and she dealt with it wonderfully. We are an inter-cultural couple and Marion had great suggestions on how to structure our ceremony so that both families feel appreciated. We did not want to have a religious wedding, but wanted to have it wrapped around our story, in spiritual content. That said, our families are religious and we were able to address that as well. All the guests complemented on the ceremony and we hear a lot that it's one of the best they've attended. Thank you so much from both of us, Marion!

We never 'met' Marion until our wedding day.Chris and I had a long phone conversation with Marion and then e-mails with rough drafts of the ceremony.The final draft really pleased us and when we arrived at the ceremony (nearly 30 minutes late---the limo 'got lost' and the weather was uncertain) it was even better in reality. What can we say other than Marion was absolutely fab./spoke beautifully and was very professional.
EVERYONE afterwards commented that it was the best ceremony they attended in a long time and rightly attributed it to Marion as the Officiant. A great person and we thank her for making our wedding ceremony such a success.
