Look no further!

Mary was the best officiant we could’ve asked for, her ceremony was the most memorable part of our wedding for so many people. We got so many compliments on the level of detail, the personalization and care that was put into our ceremony and it was all thanks to Mary. We had all intentions of ‘interviewing’ several officiants before finding the one — but after we met with Mary for the first time, we knew she was it. We had several calls with her leading up to the wedding and she took the time to learn my husband and my story, our families, and our personalities. We are forever grateful for Mary, look NO further than her for your wedding.

Just Hire Her.

I first reached out to Mary to see if she offered coaching. I was pretty set on choosing someone close to us to preform our ceremony. She explained that she used to offer coaching but found that when couples chose a family member or friend to preform their ceremony it results in a lot more stress on everyone than expected. I still wasn't 100% sold on hiring someone simply because I thought it wouldn't feel personal enough but I scheduled a call with Mary anyways. My fiance (now husband) and I were impressed and ultimately decided to move forward with her as our officiant, though I still wondered if I was making a mistake.

Leading up to our day Mary took a ton of care into learning about us and our story. She offered creative ideas for how we can make our ceremony special with such amazing attention to detail. The process was collaborative, fun and stress free.

Fast forward to our wedding day and Mary was INCREDIBLE! She told our story in such an authentic and captivating way. I knew our ceremony would be the most perfect for us. What I did not expect was the overwhelming praise from our guests. Countless guests approached me at and after our wedding to tell me our ceremony was one of the best they have ever witnessed. They laughed, cried and felt like they got to see a side of our relationship that not everyone gets to see. It was so heartwarming.

I cannot tell you how happy I am that we hired Mary. She is THE BEST OF THE BEST!!

Mary is amazing!

Mary is absolutely amazing! It was so important to my husband and I to have a meaningful and memorable ceremony, and Mary did a wonderful job crafting a unique-to-us ceremony. Prior to the wedding day, Mary met with us multiple times, and it felt like she really got to know us. She gave us questionnaires to help her craft the ceremony and worksheets to help us be emotionally present on such an important day. Leading up to the wedding, Mary was patient and made multiple edits to the ceremony. She also had great ideas as to how to incorporate both Jewish and Catholic traditions. We got to see the final ceremony before our wedding day, so that there were no surprises, and we very much appreciated that! Mary even came to our wedding rehearsal the day prior to our wedding, and it was so helpful. I left the rehearsal feeling fully at ease, knowing that the ceremony was in good hands and that the bridal party and my family all knew what to do. On the wedding day, the ceremony was both beautiful and emotional, bringing out the laughs and the tears. Mary even gave us a beautiful keepsake ceremony that we will treasure forever. Thank you so much Mary for everything! It was a day we will never forget!
