    Great Officiant Who Adapt to Each Couple!

    Reverend Martin officiated our wedding and did a phenomenal job! We weren’t really sure about what direction we wanted to take the ceremony. After being introduced to Reverend Martin, we felt very confident the ceremony would get off without a hitch! Reverend Martin provided several options for ceremonies and previewed the program with us. He was super flexible with his ceremony script and even made great suggestions to personalize it!

    During our rehearsal, Reverend Martin orchestrated the whole proceeding and coached us through all the little things we definitely would have forgotten. During the actual ceremony, Reverend Martin performed a wonderful ceremony for us and made the whole affair match the elegance of our venue. Thank you Reverend Martin!!

    Very accommodating & genuinely cared about our ceremony

    I would definitely recommend Rev. Martin because he so very helpful in our very tiny event! He was willing to accommodate our location and time without supplementing every item with a fee. I called around and no one was as eager to help make our day special! It was perfect!

    Wonderful person and officiant

    Martin was informative, flexible, and gave the perfect amount of suggestions during planning. At the wedding, he was an invaluable part of how the day unfolded with an uncanny intuition for when a suggestion for this or that would make for a smoother experience. He worked with us to produce perfect vows and we look back on the experience with happiness that he was with us on this special day. In the end, he's a great officiant but most important, he's a wonderful person and it shows in everything he does.

    Perfect officiant

    Reverend Martin Lavery was the perfect choice for us. He got to know us, helped us figure out an ideal ceremony (from the flow, to the style, even with bridal party ideas) - and then most importantly, executed perfectly. He is very clear and understandable, great inflection of voice, paced the ceremony well, stayed right on script without having to keep his nose in the papers to read it. Friendly with the family, available and so helpful during the rehearsal the day before.
    Can't say enough about him, everything went perfectly with Rev Lavery -- thank you so much!

    It felt like we had a member of our family officiating our wedding

    After our first conversation with Reverend Martin, we knew we had to have him officiate our wedding. He’s very personable, organized, and flexible. We were able to customize our ceremony with his help. And it felt like we had a member of our family officiating our wedding. I highly recommend Reverend Martin.

    The Amazing Martin Lavery!

    Of all of our vendors, Martin was the most reassuring and helpful to our special day. Martin gave us a clear and flexible script for the service so we knew exactly what would be included and allowed us to make any changes for it to be perfect. He responded to our emails/texts quickly and even late at night. He was on time and very helpful in coordination during the rehearsal and wedding day. And on top of all of this, Martin is just an overall wholesome and charming man! Better than we could have ever imagined.

    Had our beautiful ceremony thank to Rev Martin’s service!!!

    Rev. Martin was awesome!!! He is very professional, very well-organized with scripts for different types of services. Our tree planting ceremony was thrown in very close to the day and he put it together so well. We interviewed several officiants but did not feel right and we were so happy that we got connected with him and he had time for us. Couldn’t be happier! Definitely highly recommended!!!

    A Fantastic Ceremony with Rev. Martin

    I highly recommend Rev. Martin. He took the time to get to know us as a couple and made us feel comfortable leading up to the big day. He walked us through everything to expect and made last-minute adjustments without a second thought. He was a fantastic officiant of the ceremony - we received many compliments on how our ceremony went. By the end of the night, he felt part of the family. You'll be in good hands with Rev. Martin.

    Couldn’t be happier!

    Reverend Martin was an absolute joy to work with! We have been in contact for about a year (thanks to covid and my fiancé’s deployment) and he was with me through every change and heartbreak along the way! He constantly reassured me that everything was going to be perfect and he was right! Not only was he professional, but he felt like family by the time the day finally came; our day would not have been what it was without him. If you’re looking for an officiant, look no further! Thank you Martin, we couldn’t have done this without you!

    Martin made my daughter's day extra special

    The ceremony that Martin put together was wonderful. He was able to incorporate my daughter's Irish heritage by including an Irish Blessing that indeed brought a tear to all of our eyes.
    He really embodied the bride and grooms spirit in the ceremony as if he had known them forever. The blessing over the food was also a special touch that everyone enjoyed.
    It was a blessing to have him officiate the wedding especially since we just made it to have the wedding because all venues were shut down in Maryland because of the pandemic. In addition to the luck of the Irish we had the luck of Martin.
    Many, many thanks!!!

    When the family friend who would have been our officiant backed out, my wife and I were devastated. For months we struggled to find someone who fit what we wanted. Martin Lavery was a godsend. He was more than willing to make our ceremony exactly what we wanted, and went above and beyond doing so. The words he said, and looking into each others eyes, there was nothing more romantic and fitting for who we are together. Thank you so much for everything.

    With the help of Rev. Martin we were able to craft the most beautiful ceremony for our wedding. It was my favorite part of the whole day hands down. He told us from day one that he wanted to help us create a ceremony that was exactly what we wanted and a reflection of us. We were able to do exactly that.

    To top it off Rev. Martin was kind, funny, accommodating, helpful and a dream to work with. We had actually previously booked an officiant that ended up not working out for a variety of reasons and as a result were scared of being able to find someone else in time that was a good fit. Rev. Martin was a breathe of fresh air, and we are so very thankful we found him here at WeddingWire. The reviews are no exaggeration. He really is that great.

    My husband and I, and our families, cannot say enough wonderful things about Rev. Martin Lavery.

    From initial contact right up until our wedding day, Rev. Martin was an invaluable resource for all things wedding ceremony. A response to the very first point of contact included a massive document of different ceremony ideas, including readings, vows, and ceremonial pieces. From there on out, he was incredibly accommodating to all of our (slightly off-the-wall) ideas and edits.

    He was always there to calm nerves, answer questions, or even just to chat, and we always received an incredibly quick reply.

    Circumstances did not allow him to attend our rehearsal, but he extended about an hour long courtesy FaceTime call with us to explain all of the details of our ceremony, including giving us all of his best advice for conducting rehearsal by ourselves. This was SO appreciated and SO helpful!!!

    I had attended so many weddings where the officiant went completely off track and left the wedding guests thinking "what?". There are absolutely no worries of this with Rev. Martin officiating. He has an absolutely wonderful speaking voice as well.

    Our ceremony was perfectly us and completely tailored to us, our family, and our friends. Our wedding guests still cannot stop talking about how beautiful our wedding ceremony was! It was my husband's and I's favorite part of our wedding.

    Rev. Martin also worked with our photographer to add parts to the ceremony which allowed for the opportunity for extra photographs, which we appreciated and hadn't given a thought to beforehand.

    Rev. Martin is a wonderful, personable, and friendly person which translates into an exceptional officiant -- he went over and beyond the call of duty! We can't thank him enough for making our wedding day extra special.

    We wholeheartedly recommend Rev. Martin to anyone looking for the perfect officiant for their special day! You will not be disappointed!

    Martin was so helpful from beginning to end. He responded quickly, sent examples, readings, quotes, videos, and really wanted my husband and I to have the best ceremony. He was very flexible on a place and time for meeting and the week before the wedding we even video chatted to confirm and go over everything, including how to pronounce names. I got SO many compliments after the ceremony about how perfect and beautiful it was. I highly recommend him!!

    Reverend Martin was absolutely amazing to work with. He was professional, prompt, and knew exactly how to put us at ease. This was the one aspect of our wedding I was not worried about one bit and we will absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant.

    Rev. Martin was such a great officiant! He took the time to learn what we wanted and gave us so many options for our ceremony. He was very professional and answered all of our questions in a very timely manor. He was able to give us a personalized ceremony that people still talk about today. It was a very beautiful ceremony and we couldn't have asked for a better officiant. I highly recommend Rev. Martin to everyone!

    Reverend Martin was absolutely amazing for our wedding. He was compassionate, responsive and reassuring when we requested his help to get married in only 2 months before my husband's overseas deployment. I was a very nervous bride with condensed planning time and Rev Martin made it so easy for me to not worry about our officiant and ceremony. His ceremony was beautiful and had our 175 person guest list in tears. He met with us via video conference, in person and at our rehearsal to do whatever it took to ensure our wedding was perfect. We are forever grateful.

    Love, Shelby + Connor

    Rev. Martin was wonderful!! He worked with us throughout the process of putting together our ceremony, sent us helpful materials and truly made it about us without making us feel rushed. We tweaked it up until the very end and he was always super responsive, getting back to us almost immediately! Rev. Martin came to our rehearsal as well and arrived well in advance to both the rehearsal and wedding day. We would absolutely recommend him!

    Reverend Martin was a pleasure to work with in the months approaching our wedding in September. He was super responsive to email and sent tons of options for our ceremony. In all of the hectic planning that goes into a wedding, getting answers and information from Martin was very easy and the least stressful part of the event. We spoke over the phone the day before our wedding and he gave us some great advice that put us at ease. Our guests thought the ceremony was very sweet and went off without a hitch! I strongly recommend Reverend Martin for anyone's big day!

    Reverend Martin was absolutely amazing. From the moment we decided to use his services he was super friendly, helpful, understanding, and sweet. Reverend Martin and I communicated mainly through emails (solely because I was so busy with wedding planning/life) where we decided step by step how the ceremony would go and it was EVERYTHING i was hoping for. Rev Martin was there for me when I needed to call or email, he was super quick to respond and made sure everything was perfect for our day. He truly puts you and your fiance first and makes sure everything is exactly what you're looking for. Our ceremony was gorgeous. I would recommend Rev. Martin to all that are looking for someone helpful, thorough, and kind.

    Rev. Martin was an AMAZING choice for a wedding officiant, and we were so pleased to have the opportunity to work with him for our wedding. He was one of the most organized and thorough vendors that we've ever worked with, and conducted multiple Skype meetings with us before joining us in person for our rehearsal and, of course, for the wedding itself.

    Rev. Martin accommodated all of our requests and had many, many amazing suggestions for things to consider for our ceremony. Additionally, he provided us with a massive, customized document that contained numerous possible readings, poems, ceremony ideas (water ceremony, handfasting, etc.). With Rev. Martin's assistance, we went from "totally clueless" about what to do for our ceremony to having a ceremony in which my wife, myself, numerous attendees, and even Rev. Martin himself cried.

    I really and truly cannot recommend Rev. Martin enough... if you're lucky enough to contact him and find that he has your date available, book him! You won't be disappointed!

    Reverend Martin officiated our ceremony on August 27,2016 and we could not have asked for a better officiant. The ceremony was beautiful. He was always so responsive to all of my emails and questions. He was flexible, professional and fun. We are so happy that we found and chose him to perform our ceremony. We could not be any happier with all of his efforts to make our ceremony exactly what we wanted. Thanks again for such a beautiful ceremony.

    Martin was excellent! My husband and I reached out to him and with his help we were able to plan our perfect wedding in under 2 weeks! I highly recommend! We are so grateful that he was able to have the time for us. We were given options that I don't think many other officiants would have been able to give us in the time period we had. His wife took excellent pictures for us and both of them were extremely nice and welcoming towards us! 5 stars all around!

    Rev Martin was awesome. We wanted our vows to be personal with a little bit of comedy. He did just that, not only was the ceremony touching, but we had a good laugh as well. He was very attentive, and even did our Ceremony Time Line. Which was a huge help for me. I would highly recommend him for your upcoming wedding. You will not be disappointed.

    Rev. Martin was great. Not only did he provide the service as our officiant, but his directions overall were very helpful and clear. He provided us with a written copy of the ceremony with a play-by-play order of events. This was very helpful and my friends in the bridal party even commented that this was the most easy going and organized wedding they've ever been to.

    Thank you for sharing our special day with us and ensuring it was a success.  We would also like to thank Mrs. Lavery for taking beautiful pictures.  We are truly appreciative and forever grateful for everything the both of you had done for us, including making those beautiful videos.  We honestly can't thank you enough!

    I couldn't have picked a better officiant for my wedding. He was responsive, attentive, did everything I asked for while providing his personal opinion for things I was unsure of . his wife attended my wedding and took pictures. Little did I know it was to make a YouTube video for me and it was a wonderful and unexpected surprise! I highly recommend his services!

    Rev. Martin was absolutely wonderful! My best friend helped me research officiants on Wedding Wire and stumbled upon the Reverend's profile. We were specifically looking for a non-denominational officiant who would respect our wishes to not have an overly-religious ceremony. Reverend Martin sent over a full breakdown of various ceremonies we could pick from and optional prayers, blessings, etc. Believe it or not, we found Reverend Martin only a month out from our wedding! We could not have been happier with his services. He made us comfortable and special on our big day.

    Rev. Martin was so helpful and easy to work with. Anytime we emailed him, he got back to us very quickly, most of time within 30 minutes. He worked with us to create the perfect ceremony. Our wedding was absolutely amazing and exactly what we wanted! He even took a video of the ceremony which we were able to share with friends and family that weren't able to make it to the wedding. His wife (who is so sweet!) took photos and they put together a slideshow for us which was amazing!! We would highly recommend Rev. Martin!!!!

    Not many people would be so thoughtful, understanding, and patient as the bride was late to the wedding. Even fewer would have hiked a quarter mile up a mountain and down again after dark to officiate a ceremony for two perfect strangers. I have much respect for Reverend Martin-he went above and beyond to ensure my vision became reality for us. Thank you so very much. You will forever hold a special place in our hearts and will be highly recommended!

    Reverend Martin took great care of us. He was professional and helpful throughout the whole process, and more importantly the ceremony he wrote for us was truly spectacular. It was romantic, it was thoughtful and heartfelt, and he was very in tune with us and allowed us to customize it to our heart's content.

    I would 100% recommend him with no hesitation to anyone looking for a fantastic officiant!

    Martin was extremely professional and helpful in assisting my wife and I in creating a memorable day. In addition to his professionalism, Martin offered much in the way of humor and his personality placed all that were involved in the wedding and the planning of the wedding at ease. We highly recommend him for anyone who is looking for insight and guidance from someone who can make the day stress free. His speaking voice is clear and presentation wonderful so that all in attendance could hear the words of the ceremony and focus on the well laid out program Martin assisted us in creating. Martin allowed us to focus on what is important the day of our wedding (family,friends, each other) and not the logistics of the ceremony. If you choose him you will be making the right choice. My wife and I run a business and know what it takes to satisfy people and how difficult it can be, Martin went above and beyond in his service which in today's world is more the exception than the rule. Thank you Martin for making our day effortless.

    Martin was a pleasure to work with. He attended our rehearsal dinner and prepped us all the night prior to the big day. He was very professional, extremely organized and has a great personality. Martin made our special day stress free and very enjoyable while including some tasteful humorous interjections during the ceremony which placed us at ease and lessened our nervousness. In addition, Martin has a wonderful speaking voice and public presentation. My new and I highly recommend him.

    Rev. Martin was a wonderful officiant at our wedding. He made deciding on the ceremony very easy and convenient. He also had excellent vow and prayer choices and listened to all of our suggestions.
    I received multiple compliments on the ceremony and on the prayers and vows. They all thought it was a touching and moving ceremony and was professionally done ceremony. I highly recommend Rev. Martin!

    We were so happy to have Reverend Martin as part of our wedding day. He went above and beyond what we expected. He met with us in person to discuss our ceremony plans which made us more comfortable. Then, when we edited our ceremony MANY, MANY times he always sent us a new copy within a couple of days. When we decided to do personalized vows he sent us articles on how to write them and when we were having trouble finding wording for the sand ceremony he sent us samples and let us tweak them to make them our own. He stayed in touch with us throughout our planning and the ceremony was one thing I knew I didn't have to stress about. On our wedding day everything went beautifully. I am so happy we chose Reverend Martin and would highly recommend him to anyone!

    Reverend Martin made our wedding day as special as it was intended to be. It was as if we had known him all our lives. Prior to the ceremony, he made a point of staying connected with us while understanding our busy schedules and the stress of planning a wedding. You could feel God's love resonate through the room when he performed our ceremony and prayed for us and with us. I am thrilled we selected reverend Martin as our Officiant, it was as if our own Pastor had performed the ceremony. You will not be disappointed.

    Rev. Martin was wonderful in that he was so flexible and allowed us to edit what he read during our ceremony including a rose ceremony which was dear to our hearts as my now husband gave me a pink rose on our first date and incorporated that in the engagement ring he gave me. We also wanted a secular wedding and had no idea how difficult it would have been to find an officiant comfortable wedding us without reference to one particular religion. Unfazed and professional, Rev. Martin was the perfect officiant for us.

    Reverend Martin was extremely helpful through the entire process. Even though we were planning our wedding from out of state, we were able to meet with him and discuss all of the ins and outs of our ideal ceremony. He was very accommodating to all of our requests and questions in the months prior to the big day. He is also very professional, punctual, and easy to work with. My husband and I would definitely recommend his services to newly engaged couples planning to get married in the Southern Maryland region.

    Rev. Martin and his wife were amazingly quick and helpful. When we told him about our wedding, he gave us an outline for the entire wedding, and offered us many choices as to how we wanted the wedding to go. He always responded to e-mails promptly and always offered extra help and ideas. He stayed patiently after we walked down the aisle to wait for us to finish pictures before signing our certificate. His wife also took many great pictures, and sent the pictures, as well as the link to the slideshow to us. I absolutely would recommend Rev. Martin to my friends and family in the future.

    We highly recommend Rev. Martin Lavery’s wedding officiant services. He was extremely quick in responding to email inquiries. He was very professional, well spoken, warm and friendly. At this outdoor ceremony he didn’t even need a microphone! The ceremony was beautiful and went very smoothly. We really enjoyed having Rev. Martin officiate my daughter's wedding!!!
