    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    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!!!

    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!

    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!!!
