    Highly recommend!

    I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible job Heather Rose did. From the moment we met, she exuded warmth, professionalism, and genuine care for making our ceremony special. She took the time to get to know us, crafting a ceremony that felt uniquely tailored to our love story. Her eloquent words moved everyone present. Her calming presence and flawless delivery made our big day truly unforgettable. If you're searching for an officiant who will go above and beyond to make your wedding perfect, look no further!

    Heather is the best

    Heather is a dream writer. Not only does she speak well, but the words she wrote for our ceremony are beyond beautiful. We had a lot of requests/changes for what we wanted our ceremony to look/feel like. As a couple we endured a lot of loss. She incorporated our moments of silence/paying respects to those not with us ( I lost both my parents). Shortly before our wedding, we lost the joy/love of our life; our pup Boomer. She incorporated telling our story, and even managed to nicely advise our guests that our dogs ashes were embedded in our wedding bands. Not sure how she managed to make something so painfully to us, sound so beautiful…..but she did.

    Heather understood the assignment and got our energy as a couple perfectly. We wanted sweet, sentimental, but also make it light and fun. She even kept her composure when bees started flying around us. She remained professional and fun. Speaking of fun;
    my husband and I both came up with our own vows. We couldn’t agree on who would actually go first. So in our own fashion, we played rock, paper, scissors in front of everyone to see who would read their vows first. I still don’t know how she managed to make announcing that we are going to play rock, paper, scissors sound romantic, but she did. Heather nailed reflecting us as a couple and did it so beautifully. If you want a fun, sweet, sentimental officiant, Heather is your girl.

    Such A Ray of Sunshine!

    Heather Rose, I am convinced, is an angel sent to Maine. This woman exudes joy and enthusiasm for what she does and works so hard to ensure her couples get exactly what they want. She crafted the most beautiful heartfelt ceremony that included much of what I mentioned in our initial call and then allowed me to add some special touches to make it our own! Arrived early and was very go-with-the-flow even when things went awry. 10/10 would recommend her services every time!

    Heather Rose for the elopement win!

    I found Heather on Wedding Wire, she was a great partner for our elopement! My initial emails with Heather were returned promptly, she quickly scheduled an interview call with me at my convenience. She put me at ease on the call and seemed like such a warm and delightful person! She helped put me at ease about our ceremony, as we were road tripping from Texas to Maine for our elopement in the Acadia National Park. She kept in touch with me between our first call and our wedding day and sent me helpful information on how to get married in Maine and notes about the speech she was writing for our ceremony. She drove across the state for our ceremony cheerfully, hiked to our wedding site and was such a joy to spend our wedding day with. Her speech for our wedding was so sweet and thoughtful. Heather was a great partner for us, 10/10 would highly recommend!

    Simply the best!

    Due to complications with COVID 19 my fiancé and I unfortunately had to push out our wedding a year to 2022- Heather has been nothing but kind, supportive and flexible during such uncertain and stressful times. We are so thankful to know that she is there to help us navigate this and would highly recommend her and her services to everyone!

    Beautiful Ceremony

    Heather was great to work with. She created a wonderful personalized ceremony and was open to edits. All correspondence with her was very professional. She helped make my small ceremony very special.

    Heather made an amazing ceremony

    Heather wrote an amazing ceremony somehow without ever meeting us in person. She was able to take the details of our relationship and preferences and craft a beautiful speech about our union. I appreciated that she also gave us the chance to read a draft and suggest any edits. She also helped incorporate knot- tying into our ceremony. I was a little hesitant to hire someone off the internet, but working with Heather Rose really worked out for us. Thank you Heather!

    Beautiful ceremony!

    Heather facilitated a ceremony and rehearsal that was fun and really fit our personalities and values. Everyone thought Heather must have known us personally because of how perfect her officiating was! She exceeded my expectations and we highly recommend her.

    Vow renewal

    It was easy and quick ceremony for us just the way we wanted it to be. She included our children and was up for anything especially to meet us at the beach. She was very professional and I was happy with the service we got. I would recommend Heather.

    Don’t even think about it, just hire Heather!

    Heather was the perfect officiant! She rolled with the punches when a few things changed at the last minute and was totally open to our semi-non traditional ceremony. She added the perfect amount of humor and emotion. Everyone was complimenting our ceremony, how perfect it was and how much it really reflected us! She was really great in helping us plan out ceremony too, because neither of us had any idea what we were doing. 😂 I’ll try to update my review with photos when I get them back.

    Heather Rose - Officiant

    Heather was so fantastic to work with! My husband and I happened to be guests at wedding where she officiated in Maine and we knew based on her ceremony there, we had to have her perform ours as well. Heather traveled to Massachusetts for an extremely reasonable cost and was so organized and efficient. She took care of everything on the back end, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. She was able to make our ceremony so personalized and it was everything we could’ve wanted and more. Heather has such a kind aura and will be sure to make your day so special!!

    Amazing! Wedding was on 9.18.21

    Heather is the best! She made our ceremony so personable and beautiful, our guests could not stop raving about her! We especially loved her idea of a unity brew since we are quite passionate about craft beer. It was wonderful to work with her every step of the way!

    Heather was great!

    Heather was a great wedding officiant and did an amazing job making sure our wedding went off without a hitch. My wife and I wrote our own vows and Heather was able to provide great feedback that made the vows more impactful. I would definitely recommend her to a friend!

    Absolutely amazing!

    I can’t say enough good things about heather! Our ceremony was absolutely beautiful and felt as if she’d known us for years! It felt very personal and our guests were even raving about what a lovely ceremony it was and kept asking “where did you find her!” Also this was our third wedding date because of covid and we couldn’t have been more grateful that she was so flexible through all of the craziness! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a unique and thoughtful ceremony!

    Wonderful Officiant!

    We had Heather Rose write our ceremony, and complete all the legal work so we can have a friend be a stand-in officiant on our actual wedding day. This made for a special wedding day! Planning, and completing this element was smooth and simple. Heather Rose is responsive, and kind, and makes up a beautiful ceremony speech! We are so grateful.

    Heather is the absolute BEST!

    Heather made our wedding so wonderful. We had a small ceremony on the beach last fall and Heather made it incredibly heartfelt and special. She is incredibly organized, and she is great at helping you figure out the perfect ceremony for you. She is amazing, and I would 1000% recommend her to anyone getting married!

    Magical Day!

    Heather was absolutely amazing, and so accommodating to our requests. She made sure our ceremony was filled with love, comedy, and even figured out how to get my (now) step son involved in the ceremony. Heather is so filled with joy and a brightness unparalleled to anyone I have met. We could not have had someone better to make our dreams of marriage a reality!!

    Absolutely Loved Her!!

    Where do I start!! When we started looking for an Officiant in Maine we had no idea where to start being from Conneticut. I came on WeddingWire and contacted a few people, no one seemed to be the right person. Then Heather Rose responded with such an amazingly sweet email asking how we were doing with our plans, introduced herself and never mentioned anything about money or travel cost in that first introduction. It was such a happy tone that came through in her email. So friendly, warm and welcoming. We knew right away that she was who we want to marry us. After talking with her further we couldn’t have been happier with our decision! Our wedding ceremony was straight from the heart, she wrote a ceremony that described our love to a tee! The beautiful tone of her voice was perfect, her scent of humor was great, we laughed, we cried, we had the best day of our lives and Heather Rose put it all down in words. We wrote our own vows, but we’re too emotional to read them, so Heather read them for us, so eloquently, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.
    Heather Rose even drove an hour each way for our rehearsal that only lasted 15 minutes. There aren’t enough words to describe how much we appreciated her for all her time she put into our wedding ceremony and stuck with us during all of our date changes and uncertainty during this crazy time.

    Heather is amazing

    Honestly, the entire planning process for the wedding was stressful but as soon as we met & talked with Heather I felt myself having fun, breathing a little easier and letting her expertise/guidance help make the whole experience simply amazing! We crafted everything for our wedding and she even helped us with that, gave us ideas and avenues to explore. Heather has a calmness, genuine interest in her couples and is very patient/kind. Thank you Heather!!
