The ceremony of our dreams!

We had such a wonderful time working with Mary and she gave us the wedding ceremony of our dreams - we really can't get over how incredible it was. From the moment we first made contact with her we could tell we had stumbled upon something really special. She is unique because she really took the time to get to know us. She got to know who we were as individuals and who we were as a couple, and from there she created the most beautiful, stunning ceremony. We had spoken with several other options for this role in our wedding before we encountered Mary and we always came away with the same feeling - that the ceremony would be thrown together without much personalization. Mary put us at ease and worked with us over time to perfect and fully personalize our ceremony, always listening astutely to our wishes and our feelings. She is very perceptive, sensitive and experienced in this, and when she presented us with the final version of our ceremony I'll never forget the feeling that came over me - I had butterflies! Our ceremony was perfection! We're still hearing from guests about how much they enjoyed it, and they all said it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever attended. She did such an incredible job and we have been recommending her to everyone that we can ever since. Do yourself a favor and hire her - you won't regret it!

Calm, Professional, and Deeply Impactful!

Working with Mary was one of the best decisions we made for our elopement! From the first virtual meeting, Mary instantly made us feel at ease. We were planning a private elopement ceremony at Pikes Peak Ranch and wanted to bring a certain gravity to the moment that we felt we otherwise would lack with just the two of us. Mary was the right person for that! She gave us options to customize our wedding ceremony that fit our personalities and beliefs, and the process was simple and stress-free. We appreciate the advice she gave us and how she prepared us for the day, including how to stand to ensure the photographer got the proper shots. It was also a relief how warm and welcoming Mary's personality is and how she truly made this occasion better and brighter with her calm presence and clear, heart-warming ceremony style. We fully recommend Mary's capable methods and professionalism to make your ceremony impactful and memorable!

Mary helped make our day special

Mary is absolutely wonderful. She is a true pro, I can't recommend her highly enough. She is friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. She has excellent communication. Mary is also one of the few officiants that we found who was familiar with hand fasting. She put together a beautiful ceremony and has a lovely speaking voice. We would not hesitate to work with her again.

Mary Johnson is the best!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

There are moments in life when words seem inadequate when emotions run too deep for language to capture. As a group of five best friends embarking on an extraordinary journey to celebrate our collective love and commitment to each other, we needed someone who could truly understand and honor the essence of our unique bond. Mary Johnson was that beacon of understanding and light.

From the moment we met Mary, we felt an overwhelming sense of warmth and understanding. Her radiant spirit and genuine love for what she does shines through every interaction. Mary isn’t just a celebrant; she is an artist of the human spirit, weaving together stories, emotions, and dreams into a tapestry that perfectly encapsulates the unique journey of each group or couple she works with.

Our wedding wasn't the conventional union of two; it was a sacred circle of five. Five souls standing in perfect harmony, where no one stands in front and no one stands behind, no one stands higher, and no one stands lower. Mary immediately grasped the profound significance of our circle. She understood that in our circle, we are all equal, all cherished, and all pivotal to the magic we share. And she captured this with her signature sparkle, bringing our vision to life in a way that exceeded all our expectations.

The comprehensive package she offers is testament to her commitment to excellence. Every consultation felt like a cherished conversation between lifelong friends. She genuinely listened to each of our stories, our wishes, and our shared dreams for the future.

On our big day, Mary delivered a ceremony that celebrated our unique bond, leaving not a single dry eye among us.

In Mary, we didn’t just find a celebrant; we found a friend, a confidante, and a beacon of light guiding our group's shared journey. If you are looking for someone to truly honor your unique story and make your day unforgettable, Mary Johnson is the one. She gifts memories that last a lifetime.

Thank you, Mary, for making our day immeasurably beautiful. Our circle of love is forever grateful.

Incredible Experience

Mary was an absolute pleasure to work with. We met with her several times the year before our wedding and each time it was like meeting with an old friend. Her attention to detail and the way that she customizes her ceremonies to fit the needs of the couple is unmatched. So many of our guests complimented out ceremony, as it was both personal and memorable. We opted to have her create a bound book of our ceremony and she customized it to fit the theme of our wedding, it was a great keepsake and I am glad we did it. Thank you Mary!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
