My husband and I travelled to Delaware with our twins and dog for a family vacation. We were also incorporating a small vow renewal celebration for our 10 year wedding anniversary and wanted to utilize the beach, as well as Mary’s wonderful services 😊. Planning the event with Mary was so easy and so well thought out. We loved how she incorporated our history together into the ceremony! She even included a sand unity ceremony so our twins could be involved and we all poured sand together to represent our family. Mary is such a sweet soul and I am so honored to have met her and had the pleasure of having her officiate our renewal. She is so accommodating and such a delight to work with! Please utilize her services if you need to plan a wedding or renewal!

Choosing Mary to be our wedding officiant was one of the best choices we made! From start to finish Mary was there, getting to know us and how we wanted our ceremony to go. She kept in communication with us throughout the planning process which was so helpful! We would recommend Mary to any soon to be newlyweds!

Mary was amazing and thorough she really captured our story. She was also very reasonable on budget. She also was very accommodating to my fiance now husband's mobility restraints. Would 1000% recommend her.

I can’t say enough about how amazing Mary was to work with from Vows to Cherish. We went into our ceremony having a general idea of what we wanted and Mary helped guide us to make it so special and meaningful to us. Mary was very flexible throughout the process, and made time for whatever we needed. Mary is professional and punctual that our wedding day was a breeze because everything was planned out so well. We sit back after a couple weeks and reflect on how the ceremony was everything we wanted and more. I highly recommend Mary for any wedding occasion.

Mary is very professional, sweet, genuine, and makes the overall experience almost easy. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area getting married.

Mary went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make our wedding special! She took the time to get to know us as a couple, which ultimately made for the most special wedding ceremony I could've ever imagined! We weren't sure what to say in our vows and how to plan out our ceremony. Mary wrote our vows for us and made it personal. She had our ceremony planned weeks before our wedding and we were able to proof read and adjust things. When Mary came out for the rehearsal she brought our son a gift to make him feel special. She is the sweetest person, and this was by far the smoothest part of wedding planning. Thank you again Mary!

I have to say that our experience working with Mary Barneby as our Officiant was very pleasant from start to finish. Mary was very professional from the start and we had a casual Zoom meeting to briefly introduce ourselves and review what type of people/ what type of wedding we were looking to have. We did have several follow up Zoom calls to review through stages, and Mary sent a Ceremony draft to us with all of the steps and aspects included. My partner and I did make some revisions and then Mary adjusted right away! She was also very organized with our Rehearsal as we had quite a large party, and she had print outs for all of the party members with necessary information and organized us all in a very fast fashion. Which leads to the Ceremony itself and Mary was perfect! She had the ceremony script matching with our edits, she was very approachable, had great things that she added to the Ceremony script that aligned with what we wanted, and also handled the marriage license part with the State after the wedding itself. I cannot recommend enough Mary Barneby as a Wedding officiant via Vows to Cherish.

Beautiful words for a beautiful night. Our officiant was amazing, she was so sweet and supportive. Was able to assist us as a couple and very easy to get a hold of. Our vows were beautiful and tear jerking. Something we will always cherish

Wedding planning can be really stressful, but Mary made everything so much easier and ended up providing us with the most perfect ceremony! She was professional, kind, and extremely thoughtful! We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant!

Mary was absolutely wonderful and helpful thru every step of the the way! She helped find out what was need from ocean city to be able to do our vowel renewal on the beach and emailed me what I needed to fill out. She was willing to be flexible with time and location to help meet my photographers needs. Mary was very good with seeing what we wanted in our ceremony and personalizing it to us and our style. She gave us a draft of the ceremony quickly and was willing to hear our thoughts and revision ideas! She made our renewal special! And even brought is flowers from her garden for myself and my daughter since we were coming from pa, which was very thoughtful and a special touch that added to our pictures!
