    Wonderful Wedding at The Chandelier

    My Husband and I had a wonderful wedding at The Chandelier. It was intimate, relaxed and a lot of fun. Maureen was wonderful and rolled with all the craziness. Our ceremony was so beautiful and heartfelt we will never forget the night. We highly recommend Maureen because she really listens! And she is calm and easy-going as well. Just the best!

    Excellent, Respectful, and Accommodating!!

    We are so glad we chose Maureen as our wedding officiant. She was very accommodating even though it was a last minute request. We wanted to have the ceremony just two of us and she provided two witnesses for us. Maureen was respectful and professional during the ceremony, which we loved.

    We eloped out of state and she was so helpful!

    Maureen helped walk us through the wedding process. She offered advice based on us traveling from one coast to the other and was very thoughtful.

    She takes her role as officiant seriously and wants to help make your day special. Thanks Maureen!

    Perfect For Us

    We planned our ‘secret’ wedding at our home about a month in advance. Maureen made it perfect for us. We wanted intimate, no fuss, quick and loving. We picked our vows from Maureen’s many choices on her website. She supplied witnesses, so that we could keep it a secret. If you are planning a wedding and need an experienced, sweet, and responsive officiant, Maureen is your lady.

    William and Valida ties the knot in the nick of time!

    Maureen is one of the nicest most patient and professional people I have met and I would highly recommend her services. Me and my wife had only 2 days left to get married while on a K-1 Visa. Maureen went out of her way to make it happen, Plus, she even let us know that our license was ready for pickup at Washington County by way of email. What a professional!! Thank You dearly Maureen!

    Incredible, enjoyable and relaxing experience

    Maureen was incredible. She made the ceremony very fun, enjoyable and most importantly stress-free. Everything went as planned and smoothly. I will highly recommend Maureen if you are looking for a fun, enjoyable and stress-free ceremony. She is also very prompt and open to answer any questions you may have.

    I worked with Maureen at a wedding where I served as the wedding photographer, and she was professional, accommodating, and filled with joy. She was easy to work with, kind, and thoughtful. I would recommend her to anyone!

    Maureen's service was one-stop shopping ... we loved it!

    We didn't know anyone in Portland. We didn't know where to find a pair of witnesses. We found Maureen's website and voila! Problem solved! Maureen responded quickly, was always very professional, friendly and upbeat! She provided a married couple as witnesses and they were lovely people too. Our ceremony was beautiful, the park was beautiful and in 30 minutes or so, we were married, on the 8th anniversary of our first date.
    We cannot say enough about how comfortable we were with Maureen and the whole process, from initial email to ceremony completion.

    Thank you so much, Maureen!

    Elopement Expert!

    We had the joy of working with Maureen on our recent elopement and I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone looking for someone to make your day flow smoothly. Maureen worked out the small details of the vows for us and even suggested a beautiful secluded area in a park for us to have our small ceremony. She worked with us on only a few days notice and was gracious and accommodating the entire time. If you are looking for someone to help make your day special, she is it!

    KaHee and Derek - Maureen made our day truly special!!

    Wow! I feel so honored to have come across Maureen Haley's website. After the judge at the courthouse cancelled on us I was left feeling so sad, then I did some research and found Maureen's services online and read all her amazing reviews! She was able to do our elopement within weeks and also provided much needed witnesses as my fiance and I just moved to Portland. I was impressed how fast Maureen contacted me back and she answered all my questions. I felt very secure in our arrangment and it took all the pressure off on our special day. She gave a very beautiful and heartfelt ceremony and it really could not have gone any better!! It was such an amazing experience and I highly recommend Maureen. She rocks!!!!

    Thank goodness for Maureen

    When my sweetheart and I decided to elope, we soon realized that even an elopement is not exactly as simple or easy as it sounds. And then we found Maureen. She responded quickly to all of my emails and saved us from tons of stress by handling most of the details. Her location was easy to find. The setting was warm and inviting. The ceremony was short and sweet, and also managed to feel very personal. It was so wonderful to be able to simply relax and enjoy our special day! Maureen was a real blessing. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to elope in the Portland area.

    Super awesome

    We planned a small elopement within 3 weeks! I was referred to Maureen Haley by my sister. I went to her website and instantly knew I wanted her to be our officiant. When I talked to her she was very detailed in what we needed. She was very professional and punctual. After sending a very detailed email she checked back to confirm that we had everything and was prepared for our big day! On the day of she was on time and things ran so smoothly! She really made our day great and a time to remember. The sage center was a nice little place to host my husband and I elopement with the presence of our parents. Overall, everything was perfect and I’m really glad Maureen was available for us.

    My husband and I are new to Portland and had to rely on the internet to find many of our wedding vendors. Finding the right officiant to perform our ceremony seemed daunting without having a "personal relationship". After a lot of searching, I found Maureen Haley with endless positive reviews. We took a leap of faith and reached out to Maureen based on those reviews and I am so glad that we did. There are not enough words to express our gratitude and sincere thanks for not only making the wedding special and meaningful, but also the process leading up to it was so easy! Planning a wedding can be stressful enough, but working with Maureen was a breeze. From the moment we met her in person, we felt so comfortable and at peace with our decision. Finding Maureen was the best thing that happened to our wedding!

    Kind, funny, sincere officiant

    I really couldn't recommend her more, she did such a beautiful job making our elopement special. I was fearing that my now husband and I would have to do a court house wedding since we wanted to elope, but she completely saved the day and gave us a great service, was so patient and kind when my toddler kept wanting to come up and be held, and was good humored about my then future mother in law on video chat constantly interrupting us hahaha. Beautiful person and if you need someone kind, open minded, caring, compassionate, funny, and that has a way of making you feel instantly comfortable, you need not look anywhere else!

    Maureen was lovely to work with, we couldn't have had a better experience. My fiancé (now husband) and I have been together 16 years so having a big ceremony was the last thing we were looking for. Maureen came out to our home and gave us a quiet, intimate ceremony for just us and our 4 witnesses - it was exactly what we were hoping for.
    Her website is very informative about the whole licensing process and she was open, friendly and responsive in our email communications arranging the whole thing. I would recommend her to anyone without reservation.

    Maureen Haley was friendly, professional, and accommodating to our needs. Our one and a half year old got sick a day before our wedding day. She was very understanding and made us feel so at peace with all the last minute changes we had to make to accommodate our family.
    Thank you so much sweetie!
    We will refer you to everyone we know!

    Maureen was just amazing. We flew to Portland from all the way across the country, and first met her about 3 minutes before she preformed the ceremony. We coordinated everything by email and she was so friendly and helpful in guiding us through the whole process. We gave her very little direction and didn't know quite what to expect, and she did a really beautiful job. A great choice for your special day!

    Maureen was extremely professional from the first time we had contacted her. She had taken the idea we had formulated and turned it into a dream. With only having a short phone conversation Maureen was able to create a bond with us and developed a ceremony that was more than perfect. She was accommodating to our likes and dislikes. We were traveling from Philadelphia to Portland Oregon and had very little information and idea of how the licensing process worked in the state of Oregon. But with Maureen's extensive knowledge she was able to advise us which definitely aided in reliving the stresses of wedding planning.
