Molly is an amazing officiant and we'd 100% work with her again if we could do it all over!

Molly made our wedding day incredibly special with a ceremony that was beautiful, fun, and uplifting. From the start, she held multiple video calls with us, helping us get to know her and making us both feel comfortable right away. Her insightful questions got right to the heart of who we are as individuals and as a couple. Molly even picked up on the smallest comments we made and intertwined them into the ceremony, making it feel like she had known us for years. Her words and delivery on the big day were perfect, she was confident, funny, well spoken, warm and inviting. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant! Many of our guests commented on how wonderful she was, and we completely agreed. We can not thank her enough and highly recommend her for your wedding officiant needs!

Warm, personal, and funny

We cannot say enough great things about working with Molly. We planned the elopement in less than a month and Molly was willing to work with us on a very condensed timeline. She was personable and kind and met with us virtually prior to the ceremony to walk us through specifics, which was so appreciated. 

She went above and beyond and even made a personalized breaking glass so we had something pretty to use for a project we intended to complete following the ceremony.

Most importantly, Molly’s words during our ceremony moved us to tears. She shared the draft prior to the ceremony, and my husband and I were blown away. We had zero edits and felt as if Molly has known us a lifetime. It was personal, heartfelt, sincere, with humor sprinkled throughout. She touched on everything important to us. She made us feel at ease and like she was one of our friends standing up sharing our story right alongside us.

We truly could not have imagined our day with anyone else by our side. A million thanks for making our day so special and meaningful.

Outstanding wedding officiant!

Molly made our wedding ceremony so special, personal, and exactly how we envisioned it. She is extremely professional, kind, and genuine. Her process made it so we can customize the ceremony and she was so flexible and worked so patiently with us. Plus, when I was really nervous to walk down the aisle, she brought so much calm energy. There is no one we would have rather had for our SF city hall wedding!

Choose Molly!

Molly did such a wonderful job officiating our wedding! From the planning process to the big day, she was professional, thoughtful, and so supportive every step of the way. She brought such a warm, positive energy and made the ceremony feel truly personal and intimate.

We had so many guests come up to us afterward saying how special the ceremony was and how great Molly was. We’re so grateful for her—highly recommend choosing her!

Molly is the BEST!

As a non religious couple, we were nervous on finding an officiant that felt our speed. We truly wanted one of our best friends to officiate but did not want to put the pressure on anyone but also how do you even begin to pick? (We didn't even have a bridal/groom party because again we did not want to pressure our friends with the cost or rank them by choosing a maid of honor / best man)

We were looking for someone who fit into our personalities and understood this wedding was not going to be stiff and formal. When I came across Molly - I was so intrigued! We met with her over zoom and it felt right, so we booked! We even added on emcee services since we weren't sure what direction we were headed with on the DJ.

I'll admit when it came to paying all the final deposits before the wedding day we thought... yikes.. did we really spend $2k for an officiant/emcee? But after the night was over and we had time to reflect, we'd do it again in a heartbeat! From the care and prep Molly does before the wedding to get to know you, to fully understanding we were not going to have our officiant read off an ipad, to the day of officiating and emceeing - she really allowed us to fully relax and know she had it all taken care of... I did not stress during the wedding ONCE (I feel like that says a lot as the bride). Even all of our guests asked us how we knew her... they really thought she was one of our best friends!

I would recommend Molly 10x over!

Hire Molly for your wedding

Molly was an excellent officiant and an all-around joy to work with! She made it easy to design a ceremony that felt true to our relationship and included all the right details. Her script captured us so perfectly that our guests asked us if we wrote it ourselves. And if you're getting married at SF City Hall, there's truly no one better prepared for the space than Molly. Highly recommend!

Molly did such a wonderful job officiating our wedding, we received so many compliments saying it was a beautiful ceremony and that it was just the right amount of depth, humor, and sharing of our story. She made this process so easy for us and we felt at ease up there at the altar.

Best speech; best officiant

Molly was even better than what we could have wished for! Our guests still talk about her speech!
The whole process was great. Molly is super friendly and wants to get to know you to write an individualized speech. She takes the time to suggest different ways of doing the ceremony, incorporates your ideas, and is super flexible even on the wedding day. On the wedding day, she is also great: helping us not panic, explaining different steps to relevant people, and being funny and friendly.
Beyond doing her officiant's job greatly, Molly helped us out as we forgot to bring the marriage certificate to the wedding.
Without Molly, my wedding would have been more stressful and far less memorable for me and all the guests.
THANK YOU AGAIN, Molly! And to all the others who hesitate: take Molly; she is definitely the best.

Molly is truly the BEST there is, you will not regret working with her!

I can not put into words how thankful we are that we worked with Molly for our ceremony! Her sweet, funny, vibrant, and genuine energy was clear even during our virtual meetings, and the day of went so seamlessly with her direction. She worked with us to create such a personalized and unique ceremony script that was representative of our story, our relationship, and our spiritual beliefs, and truly went above and beyond in every way possible. Working with her is the best choice we could have made throughout the entire wedding planning process, and I cannot emphasize this enough - she is the BEST out there, and you will laugh and cry with your whole heart if you have the gift of her presence at your ceremony. Molly, thank you for everything, you made our day so special.

The script was beautifully written, well balanced, and truly reflected who we are. We received so many compliments from our guests!
Highly recommend!!!
