Wedding in Maine

Julie made our wedding day so special. She was so helpful starting the the moment we decided to have Julie as our officiant. She helped us navigate what we needed to obtain our wedding license and where to go. The selection of readings she offers throughout the ceremony is so vast, no matter what you will find something that speaks to you as a couple. My fiancee(now husband) was nervous about the ceremony and being the center of attention. Julie put him at ease(which is a hard thing to do) and created this beautiful space for us to share our special moment. It felt like it was just Julie there bonding us in this sacred union. I am saving a printed version of everything Julie said that day so that when times get tough, I will reflect on the words Julie said that forged our holy bond. Julie was exceptional.

Julie is an absolute pleasure to work with. From the first phone call I was completely as ease with the ceremony portion of our day. My husband and I eloped in a state park and she was very flexible about our plan. She let us completely customize the script, but had the most incredible guide that made the process of selecting readings a breeze. If you want someone who will keep you relaxed and is reliable, USE JULIE!!

I had the pleasure of having Julie marry my husband Michael and I this August and it went perfectly. The months leading up to the wedding we had a call with Julie and instantly felt at ease and confident that Julie was the right person to help us say I do!
She had a whole packet that guided my husband and I into choosing the readings that would work for our dream ceremony.

The rehearsal the night before went so smoothly as she walked Michael and I through the ins and outs of the ceremony, then guided our family and friends through our ceremony.

The ceremony went absolutely perfectly Julie was so well spoken and put together the most special and sincere wedding.

Thank you Julie for the most perfect wedding and making my dreams come true!

Highly recommend Julie as your wedding officiant! From our very first conversation, we felt her warmth, presence, and genuine love for what she does. My husband and I enjoyed creating our ceremony with the help of her ceremony outline packet, and she guided us in seamlessly weaving in a custom reading we put together. Julie was incredibly responsive and always helpful with any questions along the way. She was a huge support during our rehearsal which gave us confidence going into the big day. On top of that, her experience working with many of our vendors made everything flow even more smoothly. We are so grateful she was part of our wedding and can’t recommend her enough!

I had previously been in contact with another officiant service, and things were not feeling right. I reached out to Julie and she instantly made me feel heard, understood, and at ease. She seemed so excited to be a part of our day, was helpful with all my questions, and was transparent about pricing. We booked with Julie, and then she sent us her amazing package to help us draft our wedding speech, which ended up being so special to us. The prompts and ability to move through the elements with suggestions, or the ability to fully customize, was so wonderful. She really made our day even more wonderful, and I could not speak more highly of her and her services. The whole family loved her!

We cannot recommend Julie highly enough! From the very beginning, she was a joy to work with and made our wedding day absolutely seamless. She thoughtfully conducted our rehearsal, making sure every detail was perfect and that we felt comfortable and confident for the big day.
Her ceremony was nothing short of amazing, personal, heartfelt, and meticulously planned. She knew exactly when to step aside or position us for photos so that every moment looked and felt beautiful. She was incredibly open to our ideas and guided us gently as we crafted the ceremony of our dreams, including our traditional Celtic hand fasting ceremony, making sure it reflected us perfectly.
Having Julie with us made our wedding day stress-free and truly special. We felt seen, supported, and celebrated every step of the way. If you are looking for an officiant who is professional, warm, and thoughtful, she is the one.

Julie's professionalism and caring nature made us SO happy we chose her to be our officiant. You can tell that she truly loves what she does and ensures that you will have the best day of your life. As soon as my husband and I walked back up the aisle during our recessional, I said "Wow! That was fun, can we do that again?!" Julie made it so easy and straight forward, that our wedding day nerves were no longer. Julie--you are simply the best and we will cherish our wedding day forever!

We were incredibly fortunate to have Julie Draper marry us in an intimate elopement ceremony on July 22 at the beautiful View Point Hotel in southern Maine. From our very first conversation, she was warm, professional, and genuinely invested in getting to know us. She took the time to thoughtfully interview us, learning about our relationship, our journey, and what truly mattered to us as a couple.

The ceremony she crafted was nothing short of perfect. Her homily, our vows, and the benediction were all deeply personal and heartfelt—every word felt like it was written just for us, because it was. She beautifully captured who we are and told our love story with grace, sincerity, and a touch of poetic magic that moved us both (and left us in happy tears).

Not only is she incredibly talented, but she’s also simply a joy to be around—calm, kind, and radiant. We are so grateful to her for making our day feel so meaningful and memorable. If you're looking for someone to create a ceremony that feels like you, look no further. She is a gem!

Julie was absolutely amazing every step of the way. Ahead of time, she reached out to get to know us. This not only took the anxiety out of finding the perfect officiant, it allowed for the planning of the perfect plan. Julie was communicative ahead of our special day, and day of could not have been any more perfect. Julie was kind, and genuine, and walked us through the process. During the ceremony she guided us through, flawlessly. Afterwards she even helped take photos! I could not have asked for a better experience and am so grateful for Julie!!

We got married on the beautiful coast of Maine, and Julie Draper made the day absolutely perfect. She came prepared with vows that matched exactly what I envisioned, and they were fully customizable to make them truly ours. Julie was flexible, reliable, and made everything feel effortless. I couldn’t have asked for a better officiant or a more perfect day!
