About Pastor Mary

It's a Family Affair

When I receive a new email or a phone call from a couple wanting to be married in and around Ocean City, MD., I always feel honored that they not only found me, but took the time to contact me with their questions. I understand that this is the wedding of their dreams, to be married in the open air, near the ocean and water, and to either only be together – or to invite family and friends to share in that happiness. It is my goal to respond to each and every request as quickly as possible – because I DO understand that when you are planning, you are excited and want your answers – NOW !

I don’t take it lightly that you are asking me to help you as you are thinking and planning for your Beach Wedding. I am honored that you have contacted me to ask how I can help you plan your day to be the most special and personalized for you, that it can be.

My Joy is in hearing each couple’s story about how they met, and what makes the two of them together, so unique ad special to each other. I have heard so many wonderful Love Stories. Each morning I look forward to reading new emails from Brides, and yes – sometimes Grooms are the ones sharing about how important this day of celebration is to them as a couple and often as a newly blending family.

What A Beautiful Wedding Crew !

After 14 years of weddings with Ocean City Weddings, 12 of those as the Pastor, I have so many ideas and creative ways that you can choose to personalize your day. Blending families is always most important to parents, and I will walk you through some options for including you children in the celebration of the day as well. It is important that they understand the celebration of love includes them completely.

Family Beach Unity Ceremony

In 1998, I built and opened a Wedding Chapel on the downtown Plaza in Salisbury – even though I received advice that couples coming to this area would want to be outdoors on the beach. I had a vision of stained glass cathedral windows and an indoor courtyard for celebrations. I achieved that for many couples… and two years later began ceremonies on the beach. I have never looked back !! I grew up on the sand of the Daytona Beach, Florida. So I was thrilled to be on the beach 4 or 5 times each week ever since that time – to marry couples in Ocean City to St. Michaels, Assateague to Rehoboth – as well as many homes, golf courses and country clubs in between over the years.

Everyone in Love is Welcomed Here

On October 23, 2000 I received my Ordination as Pastor. I had discovered that many Ministers from local churches were not willing to come outside for marriages, nor were they very often interested if a couple was not of their religion, of mixed religions or races, or were not local and could not become church members.

So I made the decision to become ordained as a non-denominational Pastor, so that I could welcome ALL couples regardless of their backgrounds, religion, gender or personal preferences. If theirs was a true and sincere love, then I wanted to be there for them whether they wanted a Civil Union, Spiritual or Religious ceremony, I wanted to be able to provide that for them. I also wanted “my” couples to feel welcomed to create the vows they would say to each other, and to design their ceremony with music and readings form family and friends if they so wished.

Mary is so nice and personable. You can tell she puts romance and individuality into her ceremonies. Mary also did my sons wedding and that's why we picked her. I look forward to working with her on our special day!

Pastor Mary Mazzullo

After 49 years of marriage, my husband and I decided to renew our vows with our children and grand children present. Pastor Mary Mazzullo resided over our vows. She was a joy and pleasure to meet and we loved every bit of the ceremony she created for us. A few tears and many bursts of laughter made our day one we will never forget. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day on the dock at sunset and for the most awesome Pastor to perform the ceremony....thank you Pastor Mary.

Pastor Mary was great in my entire wedding planning process! I planned most of my wedding from NC so she was always available through email or phone to answer my million questions. We had the ceremony at a small beach that she had never heard of so she drove there beforehand to scope it out (which wasn't close to her home). Mary was so passionate on wedding day one of my guests asked how I knew her personally. She is super down to earth and made jokes during the ceremony to calm our nerves. Would recommend to anyone!

I am not even sure when to begin with this review and to thank Pastor Mary for her services this past Thursday.

I originally found Pastor Mary about 4 years ago when we were looking into beach wedding options, from the very first time I spoke with her I instantly knew that she would be the woman performing our ceremony! We finally chose to get married on the beach , on a thursday night with a fairly simple service. From the moment I contacted Mary she gave me ideas, tips and advice on what was best.

Everything was more than we could of ever imagined, my family and even some of the bystanders at the hotel that we were staying at had nothing but amazing things to say about her. From her responsiveness to emails to her smiling face on the day of the services,  it was more that I could of asked for. We may of not be an easy bunch, we are all very sarcastic in a playful way( and Jason was nursing some third degree burns on his arm which made him not exactly the happiest of people.) She managed to work with us. She was extremely kind hearted and professional.

Her services were just was we wanted and more; and as far as Kristie the photographer, she was great and very professional as well, the effort she put forth to make sure we had perfect memories was amazing, she ran around on the beach to make sure she got every shot from every angle. We received the picture about 3 days later, which in my opinion and experience is unheard of.( we were originally told 3 weeks)

Thanks again!!!!!!

Kristyn and Jason Sauerwald.

There isn't enough stars to rate Pastor Mary. She is the sweetest person. I was so nervous and every time I sent her an email or called her She always replied quickly and was willing to help in any way she could. I hope every couple who has the privilege of having Pastor Mary to officiate their wedding feels as blessed and happy as we are. Pastor Mary is the BEST!!

A rating of 5 is not near enough for Pastor Mary. She is awesome. She worked with us with the problems that arose while we were in Md, Changed her plans on short notice, and never did we feel rushed. She did a beautiful service for us, spent a lot of time with us.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
