    Beautiful Ceremony!

    Margaret and her daughter Melaina were such a great choice for our ceremony! Margaret wrote a beautiful ceremony and the added touch of a decorative copy was great. Melaina was so down to earth and fit right into the vibe we wanted for our ceremony. I highly recommend!

    She made our day so special

    Margaret was fantastic. She not only walked us through our options, she provided so many diverse ceremonies. We were able to include our children which was incredibly special.

    Meaningful and Personalized Ceremony

    We recently had the privilege of having Margaret officiate our wedding. We opted for a
    nontraditional ceremony on our wooded property. Our hopes were to have a meaningful ceremony that emphasized the spiritual connection and love we have for one another and nature. Margaret took the time to visit our home and the place we’d chosen for our ceremony. She carefully listened to our wishes and concerns. She provided a small catalog of ideas suitable for many different styles and personalities. In the end, our ceremony was absolutely everything we hoped for and more. Margaret was not only creative in designing a ceremony that was reflective and unique to us personally, but professional and poised as well. She made us feel comfortable and at ease in a much anticipated event. We received so many compliments on our ceremony and our officiant. We feel that our ceremony encompassed all we had hoped and more, and we are very grateful for Margaret and her role in our wedding.

    Short notice and it still was AMAZING

    We had a judge lined up for weeks to perform our ceremony and the week before he cancelled stating he forgot he was out of town that day. Of course, I was freaking out, but then I came across Mrs. Demmon and she was just perfect. I felt like she dropped everything just for me because I was in such a bind. Since we only had a week to make it all happen, we had one meeting, then the rehearsal and then the ceremony. She was quite professional and lovely. With an added bonus, she filed our license for us, and we had certified copies within days. So convenient.

    Wonderful experience with a great minister!

    We hired Margaret for our May wedding and she was absolutely wonderful! She’s a fun loving, easygoing, yet professional minister that kept us on track and helped make our wedding the perfect day that it was! During our rehearsal and ceremony, she brought this energy with her that took away any stress and kept the positive vibes going (she’s got a great sense of humor too!) When we met her a few months before our wedding, we knew she was the one we wanted officiating our wedding. She was always there when we needed her and never forced anything on us. Her services were budget friendly and she took care of all the filing and paperwork so we didn’t have to worry about anything! She even prepared a decorated version of our vows (in our wedding colors) for us to keep and cherish. Talk about a personal touch! There is so much good with Margaret that we truly feel blessed that we met her and shared our special day with her. Thanks again Margaret!!

    Customize your wedding ceremony

    Margaret was very helpful in assisting us in planning our perfect wedding ceremony. We had no idea where to even begin with planning and she gave us some great ideas and examples that allowed us to customize our ceremony and make it just as unique as our love for each other.

    Amazing Experience

    New Beginnings was absolutely amazing to work with. Margaret helped us plan our ceremony from start to finish and was very responsive the entire time. I live 5 hours away from where we got married and she made the entire process a breeze! Amber was our officiant the day of the wedding and did a wonderful job. I would recommend New Beginnings to anyone. Thank you for being apart of our day and making it extra special :)

    Absolutely amazing

    I am so glad we chose to use New Beginnings for our wedding.
    Each time we met with Margaret she brought a full binder with options, stayed in contact throughout the year leading up to the wedding, and even emailed me the entire final script for the wedding to review and make changes as I saw fit.

    The day of the wedding, Margaret and her husband brought a table for us to use for our sand ceremony and even help set it up while my fiancé was busy with other things.
    We were running SLIGHTLY behind schedule that day, Margaret reassured my nervous fiancé and helped him feel at ease.
    They also turned in our marriage license and sent us SEVERAL copies within days after the ceremony!
    Margaret and her husband were professional and ran things like pros!
    We will be referring them to everyone we come in contact with from now on!!!

    Wonderful Memorable Ceremony

    Margaret was a pleasure to work with for our wedding ceremony. She had many ideas and templates. She allowed us to customize our ceremony and our service turned out beautiful. We had many guests compliment our ceremony and state it was memorable, unique, and held their attention the entire time. I would definitely recommend Margaret.

    Exceeded Expectations

    I cannot day enough about Rev. Demmon! We got married during the Coronavirus and she made the process seamless- from explaining the license process to the ceremony itself. Our ceremony was beautiful (held outside the courthouse) and the vows she wrote for us made me tear up. They were so personal and so beautiful. It truly was the happiest day of my life

    Affordable Officiant

    Our ceremony went beautifully. We liked all the options of the type of ceremony you could have. The beer ceremony was loved by all! My only complaint was we specifically went over name pronunciation the night before & there were a couple names said wrong.

    October Wedding 2018

    We had an October wedding, and we booked kind of last minute. Margaret was sooo easy to work with and made the experience so much less stressful. She was on time and her ceremony was very well spoken. I would recommend her to ANYONE!

    I highly recommend Margaret! She was so great to work with for our wedding ceremony. Before I booked her, we talked for awhile about the process and she answered all of my questions so I fully understood what I needed and what she included in her services. I immediately said yes I wanted to book her! Then she sent me all of the items that I needed to make my wedding ceremony exactly what I wanted, it was so nice that we could really make our own wedding ceremony and she filled in all the gaps! She came to our rehearsal and really helped lead us with the ceremony preparation and we truly appreciated that. On the wedding day, she was so professional and made our ceremony exactly as we wanted and it was fabulous! Thank you so much Margaret!!
