    Wonderful team to work with and so personalized

    I had called this vendor to see what options were available for an elopment or private ceremony. They were all so helpful and responsive it was great. We were able to pick out every single thing in our ceremony including prayers and vows and everything. Everything went beautifully and the officiant was so professional but also friendly, and fun. I could not ask for anything else. Made our day so special and perfect for us.

    Beautiful Ceremony!

    Annette and team were absolutely amazing and so easy to work with as we planned our intimate ceremony in Duluth. Jean, our officiant, was so accommodating and personable. She walked us through everything and helped calm any pre-ceremony nerves. Cannot recommend enough. Thank you so much for going above and beyond to make our day so special!

    Winter elopement on the North Shore

    Annette was fantastic!!! We inquired and immediately received a response from Annette. We scheduled a phone call and discussed our ideas. She listened respectfully and made everything we wanted happen perfectly. She sent a wide variety of ceremonies to choose from or to use as a guide to write our own. She met us at our destination and professionally and lovingly performed our ceremony. It was perfect!!! As an added bonus, her husband took random photos with his cell phone during the ceremony. It was an intimate elopement on the North Shore on a warm December evening with candles on the rocks and waves splashing on the shore behind us. We will definitely renew our vows in the same place in the future with Marry Me in the Northland. She believes Love is Love with no judgment. She made it very clear that All are Welcome to use her services. It was perfect!

    Absolutely wonderful officiant experience!

    Marry Me in the Northland made or wedding uniquely ours and special. It was easy to customize our vows with their help and our officiant couldn't have been more accommodating. We had an issue with our video and she completely went above and beyond her duties and offered to redo the entire ceremony so we could have it on video. She was so fantastic! I recommended that everyone uses them for their wedding!

    Awesome Wedding Officiant

    Our wedding ceremony was precisely as coordinated and much more than I anticipated. If you are on the lookout for a dependable, affable, and one who goes above and beyond to make your extraordinary day even more remarkable than you can envision, I would highly recommend wedding officiant Jill Veech from Marry Me In The Northland!

    Great officiant!

    Annette was helpful in creating a ceremony that was customized for us. She provided some sample ceremonies so we were able to pick and choose from those and add in some of our own material to create a ceremony that fit us as a couple. She even helped us edit our ceremony on the day of due to illness. She brought large print copies of our readings for the ceremony which was very helpful. Annette was responsive and provided helpful feedback so our ceremony fit us and our timeline. She did a wonderful job on the day of making sure that everything still flowed smoothly with the last minute changes.

    Sublime Elopement

    Though my partner, Josh, and I - both in our early sixties and previously married  - shared a keep-things-simple mantra in relation to our wedding,  great effort was required, through most of 2020 and its COVID complications,  to adapt plans and manage expectations. By September, wedding rings and clothing were in place, but our license was still pending (following a county records error) and we were having difficulty finding a Minneapolis-based officiant whose availability aligned with ours and that of our respective sons and their partners (as witnesses) and a dear friend's who'd offered to make a cake for our backyard, no more than ten, distanced/masked wedding. 
    With a long-awaited and much-needed North Shore vacation in view, and disappointment-fatigue mounting, I declared that I was tired of wedding planning and was going to focus on vacation planning. However, I found myself unable to resist one last online search for Duluth-area officiants who might be available during the dates of our trip - which led me/us to Marry Me in the Northland (MMN), and Annette.  
     I submitted a Monday late-afternoon query through the MMN website to the effect of 'it's probably a longshot, but would Annette be available on any of the following dates.' Shortly afterward, Annette replied - positively - with dates and times, and suggested that we talk directly the next morning. Chatting with Annette felt like a conversation with a longtime friend. My spirits lightened considerably - and perhaps synchronously, our corrected wedding license arrived in that day's mail.
    Between that Tuesday morning conversation and our early Saturday afternoon ceremony. Annette maintained close contact despite her busy schedule. She was warm, funny, and a good listener,  professional and organized. She understood that Josh and I had adapted from a simple wedding plan to an impromptu elopement and made sure that it felt special and expressive of us as a couple. Her colleagues, Jean and Jason, who served as our witnesses and photographers, were equally gracious. Ultimately, our wedding, on the shore of Lake Superior, beneath Leif Erikson Park's rose garden - Annette's suggested location -  in unseasonable Fall warmth, felt as lovely and perfect as it could possibly be. 
    Next week, when members of our original wedding party belatedly gather to celebrate, we will raise a toast to Annette, Jean and Jason for giving us this most memorable day.

    Annette Lahr Wedding officiant


    Annette Lahr did a wonderful job officiating our wedding. She was extremely easy to work with and very personable. She was inspiring and did a great job presenting our requested script and vows. She was very helpful in providing script ideas as well as other resources needed such as a photographer. She is a very friendly and sincere person. We would strongly recommend her services.

    Marry Me in the Northland

    Marry Me In The Nothland (Annette Lahr) constructed and officiated our wedding. She did a phenomenal job - we got so many compliments about how great and personal our ceremony was. Annette was great at listening to what we had in mind and understanding our vision. Not to mention her husband who was also a HUGE help with the ceremony and making sure it went off without a hitch. Her and her hubby were a joy to work with- very responsive, attentive and personable!

    Exactly What We Wanted in a Ceremony!

    Annette Lahr was a fantastic wedding officiant! Our ceremony was beautiful and she was very helpful. I really hadn't even been to many weddings before our own, and we were a little lost on what to put in our ceremony. But there was no need to worry, because Annette has created a detailed E-book to give you ideas and allow you and your significant other to create your perfect ceremony. I would definitely recommend Marry Me In The Northland.

    Marry Me in the Northland is Fantastic!

    Annette was truly wonderful to work with. When all our wedding plans got thrown in the air due to COVID Annette took the time to talk with us and connect us to other vendors. The day of the wedding she was a calming presence and provided a beautiful service full of love. We highly recommend Annette and her team to any couple getting married in the Northland!

    Exactly what the bride and groom were looking for!

    Prior to my daughter finding Marry Me In the Northland, we were getting a little frantic about finding an officiant for an outdoor wedding in the Minocqua, WI area. It wasn't my daughter's vision to have an overly religious ceremony, and non-clergy wedding officiants were proving hard to locate. Thankfully, she found Marry Me In the Northland, and Jean Larson officiated. The ceremony was beautiful. Jean worked with my daughter and son-in-law, and helped them craft a ceremony that was touching, meaningful, and uniquely theirs. Jean was a delight to meet and work with, and we had a wonderful time chatting with her before and after the ceremony. We highly recommend their services!

    Marry Me In The Northland's reply:

    I'm so glad you found us, I absolutely loved the location and spending time with all of your family and friends. You put on a truly beautiful wedding and I'm honored to have been a part of it.
    Thank you for the kind words!

    My wife and I are so happy we picked Jean to marry us. She helped us out a ton beforehand customizing our entire wedding ceremony to best fit us. She was very responsive in emails and made sure we could communicate with her about any questions. The day of our wedding she made sure all the final details were perfect and made the day feel very special. All of our guests commented on her excellent work! Thank you Jean!

    Marry Me In The Northland's reply:

    Thank you so much, I really enjoyed working with you both to make your ceremony perfect. All of my best wishes for the future!

    Annette is fantastic, she was super helpful starting with getting our marriage license and recommending some great places on the north shore. Annette was very responsive, stayed in touch with me all the way up to the wedding and even helped with photographing our wedding. I can’t thank her enough for making our day great.

    Annette was professional, calm, and punctual. We were really impressed with her ability to help us on short notice. She is kind and supportive no matter what type of ceremony you want to have.

    She also asked some probing questions about elements that I had not considered yet, but I'm so glad that she did! We were pleased with her 100%. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding!

    Wonderful and Accommodating!

    My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Jean as our wedding officiant in July 2020. Due to planning a wedding in the middle of a pandemic, and having to change our plans more then once, it wound up being a very stressful wedding. Jean was so great to speak with, eased our minds, and helped us pick out a perfect script for the day that was beautiful. We had planned to get married on a Saturday but due to more pandemic problems we had to cancel that wedding, the day before it, and reschedule for a totally different day and time. Once again Jean was unbelievably great about working with us and changing the day with such short notice! I was so thrilled that she was so accommodating and kind about the whole situation. When we were finally able to have our wedding day, Jean preformed a beautiful small ceremony for us, and we could not be happier. She was kind, excited, fun and professional. I would highly recommend Marry Me In The Northland and our officiant Jean! Thank you again so much!!!

    Marry Me In The Northland's reply:

    I am so sorry I did not reply to this, what a crazy year and you both can attest. I was so happy to have been a part of your day and really enjoyed getting to know you both. I loved that you were so resilient to all the changes and in the end, I think it was an amazing intimate ceremony that I won't forget. Take care and thank you,
    Jean

    Best officiant ever

    Hands down Annette is the best. She married us in September 2020. She made the whole process super easy. She also helped with recombination for makup, venues, and great places to eat (not even wedding related) she also helped me personally (im the bride) when the pandemic threatened i wedding plans Annette was there for me and helped me calm down and helped with back plans. If you want a stress free wedding you need to hire her !! We can't say enough good. She Truly made are wedding amazing.
