Vows to Cherish is a female-owned wedding officiant service based out of Frankford, Delaware. Mary Barneby is an ordained officiant available for weddings and renewal ceremonies throughout Delaware and nearby states, accessible by car. Mary's dream was to become an ordained officiant because she believes there is nothing more joyful to witness than two people in love coming together to make or renew a lifetime commitment to each other. Mahatma Gandhi once said, "There is nothing more powerful and yet more gentle than the love we can have for one another."

Services Offered

Mary's role at Vows to Cherish is to develop vows that capture the essence of a couple's love and what that love means to them. She works with each couple to create a ceremony that allows them to share and memorialize that in the presence of their loved ones.

Mary Barneby is a WONDERFUL Officiant

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
