    I recommend Rev. MaryBeth for a wedding officiant!

    Rev. Mary Beth was kind, and flexible to my husband and I throughout the wedding process. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and created a ceremony that worked for us! It made our special day so magical!

    Rev. Mary Beth's reply:

    It was a magical day, Kylie! And I was so happy to be a part of your special day. Best to both of you!

    A perfect fit for us!

    My fiancé and I met with Rev. Mary Beth to see if she was a good fit for our wedding next summer. We were so pleased with her professionalism and ended up writing the rough draft of our entire ceremony during our meeting! We both come from large blended families and Rev. Mary Beth was able to figure everybody into the ceremony and that means the world to us! We feel like we’ve known her for years and we can’t wait for our wedding!!

    Very personalized service!

    We had a last minute change of mind with the choice of officiant so we connected with Mary Beth a week prior to our wedding. She was very responsive and took on the task without hesitation. We spent a good deal of time connecting with her over Zoom to talk about what we want to include in the ceremony and she sent follow-up emails promptly and was very accommodating to our requests. She was at ceremony location early to connect with family members to ensure a smooth proceeding. We are super happy with her service and would highly recommend to any couples!

    The most wonderful officiant!!

    We absolutely loved our experience with Mary Beth as our officiant--from start to finish, the process of drafting and customizing our wedding ceremony with Mary Beth was easy. She has beautiful suggestions and was very open to our ideas and requests. Our ceremony was absolutely beautiful, and she has the most professional, calming, and lovely demeanor at the altar. I highly recommend her--she is so reasonably priced, and she made our ceremony seamless and so memorable! You will not regret going with Mary Beth.

    Rev. Mary Beth's reply:

    Thank you Molly! It truly was a joy to be a part of your special day and I had fun helping you create such a beautiful wedding ceremony. I loved the way it all came together!

    Better than any ceremony we could have imagined

    We want to thank Mary Beth from the bottom of our hearts for executing a perfect wedding ceremony for us. It was better than either of us could have imagined, and we thank you so much for making it possible.
    Mary Beth has a warmth and positive energy about her, that set the perfect tone for our wedding. Our guests rave about Mary Beth.
    We felt so calm, at peace and happy with you leading our wedding. Working with you, Mary Beth, was truly a bright spot in the wedding planning process, and we can’t thank you enough!

    Excellent! Loved working with mary beth!

    Mary Beth was an absolute joy to work with. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and individually. She helped to craft a ceremony that met our needs. Her attention to detail was amazing. She gave us ideas on things that helped to make our ceremony unique and special. We even had opportunities to involve our guests in our ceremony. It was without a doubt an amazing day and Mary Beth had everything to do with making it that way! Even our guests commented on what an amazing job she did at our ceremony. She even speny time with our guests after we got married. It was lovely! I would strongly recommend her!

    Rev. Mary Beth's reply:

    Oh Jacqui! It was such fun to celebrate your wedding day with a meaningful ceremony that I was so happy to co-create with you and Noel. It was an honor to be with the two of you and your families!

    PERFECT 🥰 Last minute ceremony and Mary Beth was just amazing!

    My husband and I had last minute changes! I mean two days before our wedding date! We were planning a city hall ceremony, just him and I, for Oct 15. Some how our date got messed up and the following appointment was not until end of Nov 😕
    We were struggling to find someone (my first time getting married and unsure who to reach out to)
    Mary Beth was just amazing. She was the first to respond to my emergency by phone call instead of messages. I was so anxious and annoyed by the current situation and hearing Mary Beth was just a breath of fresh air! She is so happy and full of positive energy that even over the phone my mood changed lol
    Mary Beth was great! Great with communication, great with writing up a small ceremony! I told her it was just my husband and I and then it turned out to be all the kids and my dad and she did not mind it all!
    She even suggested a gorgeous park and had a back up plan if it rained!

    I totally recommend!!! Mary Beth will definitely put your mind at ease, my kids and my dad loved her energy. Her smile and joy is just so sincere it just overflows to others and just gives you that “ everything is ok” feeling

    Thank you Mary Beth!

    Oo and we even brought our cat! She is ok with pets 🤣 it was just was very nice! Thanks again 🤗🤗

    Rev. Mary Beth's reply:

    Thank you Sandra! I'm glad we found the perfect setting under the willow tree in the park. What a fun group you and your family are - and that was the first kitty I ever had as a wedding attendant - complete with tux and tails, well, maybe not complete, as he only brought one tail!

    Our Fairytale wedding

    We are humbled and honored to have Marybeth as our matrimonial minister. Marybeth, guided my husband and I in our spiritual and emotional connection and journey. My husband and I became actively involved with spiritual meditation and understanding of our astral signs.

    Marybeth not only guided us in the process and sharing our vows but also became family.

    Marybeth has held the utmost patience and support as my mother was battling cancer during this time and accommodated our family needs.

    I highly recommend Marybeth as your spiritual minister.

    Francesca and Michael Szymanski

    Rev. Mary Beth's reply:

    Francesca! Working with you and Mike certainly was a deep and lovely connection and I am honored that you are calling me family - what a gift! I am so glad you and Mike enjoyed the Guidance for a Heart-centered Life session we did together before the wedding. I think it helps to keep all of us centered through life's highs and lows. Much love to you both!

    Beautiful Ceremonies

    I cannot express how glad I am to have found Mary Beth. She is a wonderful, funny, and sweet woman. From the first time I spoke with her I knew she had to be our wedding officiant. In a short phone call she wrote the most beautiful ceremony that was so incredibly personalized to my husband and I. When the pandemic hit she offered a 2 for 1 deal which allowed us to have our small ceremony this year and a big one next year. When rewriting the small ceremony for this year she was so quick to come up with ideas to make it more casual but still sweet and romantic, and most importantly, different from the one for next year. She is incredibly flexible and it was truly a joy to work with her. I can't wait to have her do our big ceremony next year!

    Rev. Mary Beth's reply:

    Thank you Sam! I'm so glad we were able to do the romantic and intimate ceremony this year - I enjoyed it too!!

    Just Awesome!

    Mary Beth was one of the reasons that our wedding day went through without a hiccups. She was very detailed in the planning process and guided us along the path while giving us the freedom to make our own choices. During the rehearsal and then on the wedding day, she made sure she walked us though step by step and made suggestions to make the wedding as beautiful as possible. Thank you Mary Beth and I would recommend her to anyone who wants to have a worry free wedding!

    I used Mary Beth as our officiant

    I would recommend Mary Beth. During the wedding planning she remained accessible, she answered any question in a timely manner, she made any changes that were requested, and she was on time for rehearsal and the ceremony to name a few. Overall, Mary Beth has a very kind personality that will only add to your special day.
    Thanks again!

    Rev. Mary Beth's reply:

    Thank you Lacey! It was an honor to officiate for you and Chad. I wish you every happiness for a beautiful future together.

    Very thoughtful and accommodating to us

    It was a pleasure to have Mary Beth officiate our wedding. The first time we met with Mary Beth she had planned out a ceremony and we were able to tailor it to our specific needs. We were supposed to be married in June 2020, however due to the pandemic we decided to get married in April. Mary Beth was very accommodating to us and very willing to marry us sooner than planned. She made our ceremony special and ensured that everyone could be included (we had guests attend via Skype). Mary Beth is like a family member now and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant.

    Rev. Mary Beth's reply:

    It was an honor for me perform the ceremony for you and Paul, Paige! I'm glad we had good weather and that immediate family could attend - it was a very special wedding!

    A beautiful fit to compliment our magical day!

    Mary Beth helped make our wedding day an absolute dream! My brother and sister in law worked with her 7 years ago.. and I loved her so much I knew I wanted to work with her for my wedding! Mary Beth is so sweet and professional. She walks you through all the steps you need to go through and helps plan your ceremony exactly as you hope it will be. My husband and I felt truly connected and guided into our marriage with love. We highly recommend MaryBeth as your minister!

    Rev. Mary Beth's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words Carissa. You and Nick and your whole family were so much fun to work with, I enjoyed every minute of it. You all made me feel very welcome and I am so happy that and Nick entered into the marriage with a strong foundation of love and connection. Much love to you both!

    Marybeth helped make our day beautiful

    My fiancee and I originally had a much different wedding day planned. When we finally decided that regardless of the date, venue, and guest list, we ultimately just wanted to be married to one another, Marybeth made our intimate little ceremony feel more special than we could've hope for. We couldn't have asked for a better person to officiate our marriage. Her presence was calming and encouraging, during the entire process, including the halt of the first plans. We plan to renew our vows in front of our entire guest list once the world gets back in order, and Marybeth is a must! She is simply wonderful.

    Incredible and so kind

    We met with Mary beth via zoom due to the pandemic for get to know her. From the very moment we met her, we knew she was the officiant for us. We just got married this past Friday 11/6/2020, and she made us feel so at ease and comfortable. Mary Beth had a wonderful calming and kind personality. She asked me several times during the ceremony if I was okay, needed a break, or a water break, as I was quite emotional and it was quite warm in our venue. She handcrafted a beautiful ceremony for my husband and I, and was extremely professional and very easy to work with. All of of guests lived Mary Beth! She feels like a family member!

    Rev. Mary Beth's reply:

    Lauren and Garrett - You are a beautiful, kind and loving couple. I was so honored to witness and be a part of all the love of your wedding day!

    Beautiful ceremony!

    We got married during the COVID 19 Pandemic. Mary Beth was amazing and stuck with us through it all. We got so many compliments on how unique and beautiful our ceremony was! We loved how we could alter or ceremony to what we wanted. It turned out amazing!

    Wonderful experience!

    We were lucky enough to find Rev. Mary Beth through WeddingWire, and after having our initial meeting with her, we were so glad we did. Mary Beth was extremely flexible with us as we developed our ceremony, incorporating our own vows and hand fasting into a very unique and touching ceremeony that really spoke to us and our guests. She was also very responsive and helpful whenever we had questions in the months leading up to the wedding, and having her at the rehearsal with us really set our minds at ease. If you are looking for an officiant who is not only professional and responsive but also very helpful in crafting your unique ceremony, reach out to Mary Beth!

    Rev. Mary Beth's reply:

    Thank you Samantha and Joe! It was a pleasure to work with you and I love how you incorporated your own wording into the hand fasting ceremony. I found it to be especially meaningful! All the best to you both, Mary Beth

    Made our ceremony one to remember

    I cannot thank Mary Beth enough for the time an effort she put in to making our ceremony so special and perfect for us. Within 10 minutes of meeting her we knew she would be perfect for us. She made the daunting task of writing a ceremony and our vows so easy, giving us suggestions and personalizing it to meet our needs. She is a wonderful woman and our ceremony was absolutely perfect! Everyone was wowed at how beautiful the words were. We cannot thank you enough!!

    Pre-Ceremony

    Rev. Mary Beth is a beautiful person inside & out. She humbly met me at a Panera Bread to recite passages and conduct the set up of my future ceremony. No doubt in my mind that the rehearsal will be just as elegant as the big day. She was very kind and accommodating with all my needs and questions.
    I look forward to meeting with her again!

    Rev. Mary Beth's reply:

    Thank you Jessica! I cannot wait for The Big Day! You are a joy to work with and I’m so looking forward to sharing in your special day.

    Flawless experience

    Mary Beth officiated our wedding last month and the ceremony she made for us was absolutely one of the most meaningful highlights of our day. Hiring Mary Beth was one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. I can’t tell you how many people came up to us after the ceremony to ask how many years we had known Mary Beth since her warmth and loveliness made it seem like she was family! We met with Mary Beth twice (once in August and once in May) before she officiated our wedding this July and at both meetings she was just as warm and comforting as I hoped. She reassured us, helped us build our ideal ceremony, and got to know us as individuals and as a couple. She has the most gentle and welcoming energy and just makes you feel at ease the instant that you meet. She was very, very responsive throughout the whole process both by text and email which I really appreciated because I’m definitely a question-asker. She was super patient and reassuring and never for a second did I feel like I was inconveniencing her. She was happy to educate us on the customs we’re not always attentive to (who remembers the order of a traditional wedding processional?) and was so instrumental in helping us decide how to adapt our ceremony to make it as personal as possible. She has a beautiful ceremony with many variations already available and was very receptive to feedback, changes, moving things around, adding things in to make the ceremony feel exactly like us. At first we did not want to write our own vows and Mary Beth had many vow options to use (honestly I found it difficult to decide!) Eventually we chose to write our own vows which I’m so happy we did, and Mary Beth was so helpful and encouraging in this process which at first felt quite intimidating. My husband and I are not from the same religious background and since neither of us identify strongly with our religion, we didn’t want this to be a major part of our ceremony. I feel confident that Mary Beth could meet anyone’s preference in this regard quite gracefully. She just seems to have a knack for meeting people exactly where they are. I will admit I was a “nervous bride,” with regard to wanting things to go right and having there be no confusion, and Mary Beth was instrumental in my feeling as calm as possible, knowing that our ceremony would be beautiful and touching and with just the right amount of lightheartedness. She definitely helped keep us grounded that day, and her presence was reassuring in every way (she even asked us a question off-mic as the ceremony began that helped bring me back to the moment and laugh/breathe a little bit—walking down the aisle is amazing and intense and kind of feels like a dream. I’m so glad she helped us be more present.) I am happy to say there truly was not a dry eye in the house and it was so lovely to see Mary Beth obviously sharing in our emotion of the day. Thank you so much Mary Beth!!
