Rica E. Sent on 12/03/2023Mary's an exceptional officiant
Working with Mary was a fantastic experience. She respond fast to our inquiries before the wedding. During our elopement, which included 14 guests and people streamed live online, everyone praised Mary for being a wonderful officiant. Her heartfelt ceremony left an emotional impact on all of us, making the occasion truly special. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND her!Mary Johnson, Humanist Celebrant's reply:
Rica, I loved working with you and Devon. It was obvious that your guests care deeply bout the two of you — at one point I didn’t see a dry eye among them! I wish you all the best going forward in your life together. -

Mary Johnson is the best!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
There are moments in life when words seem inadequate when emotions run too deep for language to capture. As a group of five best friends embarking on an extraordinary journey to celebrate our collective love and commitment to each other, we needed someone who could truly understand and honor the essence of our unique bond. Mary Johnson was that beacon of understanding and light.
From the moment we met Mary, we felt an overwhelming sense of warmth and understanding. Her radiant spirit and genuine love for what she does shines through every interaction. Mary isn’t just a celebrant; she is an artist of the human spirit, weaving together stories, emotions, and dreams into a tapestry that perfectly encapsulates the unique journey of each group or couple she works with.
Our wedding wasn't the conventional union of two; it was a sacred circle of five. Five souls standing in perfect harmony, where no one stands in front and no one stands behind, no one stands higher, and no one stands lower. Mary immediately grasped the profound significance of our circle. She understood that in our circle, we are all equal, all cherished, and all pivotal to the magic we share. And she captured this with her signature sparkle, bringing our vision to life in a way that exceeded all our expectations.
The comprehensive package she offers is testament to her commitment to excellence. Every consultation felt like a cherished conversation between lifelong friends. She genuinely listened to each of our stories, our wishes, and our shared dreams for the future.
On our big day, Mary delivered a ceremony that celebrated our unique bond, leaving not a single dry eye among us.
In Mary, we didn’t just find a celebrant; we found a friend, a confidante, and a beacon of light guiding our group's shared journey. If you are looking for someone to truly honor your unique story and make your day unforgettable, Mary Johnson is the one. She gifts memories that last a lifetime.
Thank you, Mary, for making our day immeasurably beautiful. Our circle of love is forever grateful.Mary Johnson, Humanist Celebrant's reply:
Tiffany, I so enjoyed working with you and your friends. I delight in unconventional ceremonies, and you can give me the chance to create something truly unique. Thank you for welcoming me into your circle. Working with you and your friends was unforgettable. -

Mary worked with us to find the most meaningful way to celebrate and honor our love, helped us to craft our vows and joyfully delivered a magical seal to bless our union.
I will never be able to adequately express how grateful we are for her authentic care & joy as she helped us tie the knot! Thank you Mary!Mary Johnson, Humanist Celebrant's reply:
Thanks so much, Kim. I loved working with you guys! You mention magic — I’ll never forget the brilliant sunset over the lake just as you all were finishing your vows. Truly magical. -

Incredible Experience
Mary was an absolute pleasure to work with. We met with her several times the year before our wedding and each time it was like meeting with an old friend. Her attention to detail and the way that she customizes her ceremonies to fit the needs of the couple is unmatched. So many of our guests complimented out ceremony, as it was both personal and memorable. We opted to have her create a bound book of our ceremony and she customized it to fit the theme of our wedding, it was a great keepsake and I am glad we did it. Thank you Mary! -

Beautiful experience
Working with Mary was an amazing experience and an absolute pleasure. The ceremony she wrote for us was very personalized to us as a couple, she helped us incorporate a creative hand fasting ceremony, listened to what was important to us and gave us the ceremony of our dreams. Our guests were very complimentary of our ceremony and we can only recommend her as an officiant.
Thank you , Mary for making our day so much more special!Mary Johnson, Humanist Celebrant's reply:
Cosima, I loved working with you and Adam. And Searles Castle was an excellent choice for such an elegant wedding. May your life together continue to bring you joy! -

Mary was truly amazing to work with in creating our unique and special wedding ceremony. Her guidance and support was invaluable throughout the entire process from start to finish. Everyone in our families raved about how eloquent and moving Mary was during the ceremony, even our other vendors told us how amazing she was compared to officiants who had been to the venue in the past! We cannot recommend her enough. 5 stars!Mary Johnson, Humanist Celebrant's reply:
Thanks so much, Megan. I loved working with you and Tanor to make your wedding special. Best wishes in your life going forward! -

Mary was everything we had hoped for in an officiant - and more! She met with us several times over Zoom to go over all the details. We really felt the care that she put into crafting our ceremony. She expertly wove in so many details about our relationship in a light-hearted and humorous way, which was exactly what we had asked for. After asking us to describe the overall feel we wanted for the readings, Mary provided us with dozens of choices that perfectly matched our vision. Our guests still continue to rave about our ceremony, and many have said that they can’t believe we haven’t known Mary for many, many years! She really took the time to get to know us as a couple and bring in the important elements of our relationship to the ceremony. I am so glad we found her, she was the perfect person to perform our ceremony!Mary Johnson, Humanist Celebrant's reply:
Alicia, I loved working with you and KC. I’m so glad you found me, too. May your marriage continue to be a source of joy for you both! -

Mary was the officiant at our wedding in September and I have nothing but amazing things to say about her. From our first meeting to the day of the ceremony she was so responsive and you can tell she really cared and wanted to make it a special day for us. We still get compliments on how great she was and how heartfelt our ceremony was. We were able to pick out the vows and readings and she gave us such beautiful options it was so hard to choose! Because of Mary our ceremony was so special and unique to us and unlike any I’ve been to. We will forever be grateful we chose Mary to officiate our wedding! -

Mary did a beautiful job on our wedding
Mary was an absolute delight to work with, from the first call to the amazing ceremony. Our wedding blended two families, three generations, and many stories. Mary provided so many good ideas, and really made the effort to learn about us and our families. The planning was fun and thoughtful, and the ceremony itself was simply perfect. We would very highly recommend Mary to anyone. -

Vishali M. Sent on 03/16/2021Extremely happy & Highly recommend
Mary is our friend and she has graciously agreed to create our wedding program on a short notice. We worked together picking out the flow, the readings and incorporating elements from both of our cultures (Bride: Indian, Groom: Catholic). It was such a pleasure to work with Mary. Her questionnaire and the working sessions worked pretty much perfectly to create a beautiful ceremony in a short time. I highly recommend Mary for her dedication, openness and wisdom. We also loved the bound copy of the program that was an option. It is a beautiful keepsake to treasure.Mary Johnson, Humanist Celebrant's reply:
Thanks so much, Vishali. I loved working with you and John! Incorporating the Seven Steps ritual in an updated way was especially meaningful for me. -

Mary crafted a beautiful ceremony that reflected our values and personalities. Working with her leading up to our wedding day — sharing our story, discussing elements of the ceremony, readings, etc. — was enriching and fun. Mary delivered the ceremony with warmth, humor and professionalism. She was also terrific with our families, the musicians and event staff. We recommend Mary highly and without reservation. -

Mrin Sent on 01/07/2019Best officiant ever
Our fusion wedding was a little over a month ago, and our guests are still talking about how beautiful our wedding ceremony was. Mary took the time to get to know who we are as individuals and as a couple, and our vision for the wedding. She listened to what we ww said and created a ceremony that incorporated elements of the American, Indian and Iranian cultures. She flowed from one culture to the next seamlessly and explained each component so everyone understood what was happening. Mary is so talented and is a beautiful person, inside and out. She lead the ceremony confidently, is a fantastic writer (you should also read her book "An Unquenchable Thirst"), and is a warm and genuine person. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Mary and we highly recommend her!Mary Johnson, Humanist Celebrant's reply:
Mrin, it was a joy to work with you and Amir! I loved the challenge of creating something so special for you two! May your marriage continue to bring you great joy.
