Beautiful Ceremony!

Margaret and her daughter Melaina were such a great choice for our ceremony! Margaret wrote a beautiful ceremony and the added touch of a decorative copy was great. Melaina was so down to earth and fit right into the vibe we wanted for our ceremony. I highly recommend!

She made our day so special

Margaret was fantastic. She not only walked us through our options, she provided so many diverse ceremonies. We were able to include our children which was incredibly special.

Meaningful and Personalized Ceremony

We recently had the privilege of having Margaret officiate our wedding. We opted for a
nontraditional ceremony on our wooded property. Our hopes were to have a meaningful ceremony that emphasized the spiritual connection and love we have for one another and nature. Margaret took the time to visit our home and the place we’d chosen for our ceremony. She carefully listened to our wishes and concerns. She provided a small catalog of ideas suitable for many different styles and personalities. In the end, our ceremony was absolutely everything we hoped for and more. Margaret was not only creative in designing a ceremony that was reflective and unique to us personally, but professional and poised as well. She made us feel comfortable and at ease in a much anticipated event. We received so many compliments on our ceremony and our officiant. We feel that our ceremony encompassed all we had hoped and more, and we are very grateful for Margaret and her role in our wedding.

I have the pleasure of working with Margaret several times a year. She is always very respectful of the couples wishes. I have also found her to be very organized and efficient. When you shooting an out door wedding and the rain clouds are threatening, this is a big plus.
