Mary is amazing!! Her custom script for us was perfect!

Mary was so amazing! She sent myself and my spouse separate questionnaires to fill out in order to write a custom ceremony script around our life together and tailored it what we wanted. It was the most magical feeling listening that script during our ceremony. Also, very great with communication and very punctual, she was even flexible to moving the ceremony time based on the rain forecast. Absolutely recommend her to everyone!!!!

She’s a dream!

This woman is absolutely fantastic. She was extremely personable and SO dedicated to bring our love story to life during our ceremony. She had everyone amazed and teary-eyed with the way she put our journey into words - my mother came up to me afterwards and said she was SO impressed with her, and said anyone would assume she had known us our whole lives. It’s safe to say that anyone would be worried about that awkward feeling of involving an outsider into such an intimate, big moment in your life, and she melted those worries instantly. She made it so easy to be in the moment, and also so easy to trust her to keep that indescribable, full-of-love, whimsical, romantic, and magical feeling throughout the whole service. If I could do it all over again, I wouldn’t have changed a thing. 10/10

We were so happy Mary was our officiant!

We recently got married and had the absolute pleasure of having Mary as our officiant. From the moment we met her, she was incredibly warm, friendly, and welcoming , we truly couldn’t have wished for anyone better. She made us feel so comfortable and at ease during such a special moment in our lives.

Mary also went above and beyond, suggesting beautiful locations for our ceremony and making the whole process feel effortless and meaningful. Her husband was equally kind and helpful, and it was clear they both genuinely cared about making our day perfect.

We would recommend Mary to absolutely everyone and we feel so lucky to have found her!

Small intimate marriage

Mary accommodated our officiant needs with a cheerful attitude and beautifully written words! We had a very tiny intimate ceremony with just us and 2 others besides Mary, the time we picked was a time where a storm came and so under a gazebo we still performed our service and she did so with a smile on her face and no complaints! It passed as soon as she was finished and turned out to be a magical experience. She will accommodate any service you would like with grace and happiness!

Mary was wonderful!

Mary was everything you could ask for! She's kind, patient and rolled right along with my indecisiveness. She also rewrote my vows with no complaint and went out of her way to help me find a venue. Mary made my day extremely easy. She was great to work with, 5 stars should be 10! You won't be disappointed.
