One word for Rev. Mary… wonderful!

Rev. Mary was wonderful conducting our ceremony. All of our guests commented on how beautiful everything was. My husband’s passages that he picked made her cry during our ceremony, so sweet. She made us during rehearsal and the ceremony which helped us be less nervous. I highly recommend her.

Perfect Ceremony

We were kind of lost on what we wanted, but Reverend Mary helped us to design the perfect ceremony. She sent of lots of options to choose from for each part of the ceremony.
Our guests even commented on how wonderful the ceremony was, not too long (especially because it was so hot outside!) but also covered all of the important points. It was just perfect!!!

Highly recommend!!!!

The reverend you always dreamed of...

We selected Rev. Mary because in her photos, she was mostly laughing with the bride & groom. From day one, she greeted us with happiness, offered great guidance when needed, and made the selection of elements of our service amazingly easy. We had thought we'd be writing our vows for weeks but Rev. Mary provided us with plenty of beautiful selections to choose from in addition to the option to write our own. Our guests raved about how lovely our service was and Reverend Mary's ease, grace and smiling presence. Having Reverend Mary officiate was one of our best decisions surrounding our wedding. You'll love her for sure.

Are you interested?

Great officiant and personable

Rev Mary was a delight to work with. She made our wedding exactly what we wanted. She offered all different readings and traditions that we wanted in our ceremony! She was able to give us advice on what things work and what things don’t work. She was personable and made us feel like we had known her for years! We are so very happy we went with her!

Rev. Mary was a pleasure to work with! She was very flexible and easy going throughout our wedding planning process and on time ready to go for all our meetings. I told her I wanted a fun ceremony with a lot of laughs and that's exactly what we got. She gave us plenty of samples to look through as a good starting point for the ceremony outline and made adjustments for us where asked, along with suggestions for our wine box ritual. She helped us go through our ceremony during the rehearsal multiple times to make sure everyone knew what to do as half the bridal party was from a different culture where ceremonies are done differently. It all turned out great even with smaller hiccups from the bridal party but she went with the flow and made all the guests laugh along; it ended up being a unique and fun ceremony!

Rev Mary Powers was the perfect choice for our wedding! I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She helped us plan a ceremony that expressed our feelings for each other and was just perfect for us. She just got us. We don't take ourselves too seriously, and she laughed right along with us, making us feel like we'd known her for years. She's warm and friendly and our guests loved her. I would highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding. She definitely made our wedding ceremony just perfect. I cannot thank her enough for being a part of our wedding. She's just amazing!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Mary. She married my sister 8 years ago as well and we both loved her! Her warm, loving approach was felt through the entire process. She was flexible (she literally flew a plane to marry us), very affordable, and answered every question quickly and thoroughly. I highly recommend Mary for a wonderful, stress-free beginning to your marriage!

Mary was absolutely perfect for our wedding. From the very beginning she was organized, responsive, and professional - all things that my husband and I value when hiring a vendor. She provided us with several readings and excerpts that we could use for our wedding, and we were able to make it personalized and all about us! She was incredible with including personal familial touches that were just mentioned during meetings with Mary before the wedding. All of our guests said that she was wonderful and that the ceremony was perfect. She typed up our vows and readings for us, and did little things for us that just showed us we 100 million percent made the right choice choosing Mary!

We wanted to thank you for helping us create the most heart-felt, authentic ceremony one could hope for. One of my friends whispered in my ear, "I've been to a lot of weddings, Allison, but this one was by far the most beautiful." You said that would happen and it did.

Many of our friends asked about you..."how did we find you?, etc" Many commented that you MADE the ceremony...your words linked every piece of the ceremony together flawlessly and the ceremony itself seemed well rehearsed. They loved that you enjoyed yourself just as we did! Please see attached picture. I share all this feedback because you told us the story about how you came to be a reverend and how people would comment that you should "marry them." We feel blessed beyond words that our paths crossed with yours and that you presided over our wedding.

Rev. Mary did an excellent job as our officiant for our wedding. She was a pleasure to work with and was very helpful and responsive throughout the whole process. She helped us to file our paperwork and our certified copy was in the mailbox when we got back from our honeymoon. She is professional and really knew our venue which make things go really smoothly. She met with us twice to go over details of our ceremony and vows. We wrote our own vows and she even printed them on nice paper for us to keep. I highly recommend Rev. Mary to anyone getting married.

Rev. Mary was, to put it simply, AMAZING! We had planned for an outdoor ceremony. Unfortunately, in the middle of the ceremony it began to pour. Mary promptly asked that everyone grab a chair and head under the tent to finish the ceremony and didn't miss a beat in her transition. She was light, funny, and witty and I had guests telling me that night and into the next day how much they enjoyed her delivery. While I'm sure there are things I would have changed from a planning aspect if I were to do everything over again, this is not one of them. We loved Rev. Mary and are so grateful for her officiating our wedding!

From our very first meeting with Rev. Mary, we were impressed with her thoroughness. She considered contingencies that until then were far from our minds, as well as matters tangentially related to her role but crucial to the overall success of the ceremony. We were also impressed by Mary’s approachable but direct manner. She made what can be an intimidating process straightforward, and, even fun — a walkthrough of the more intricate parts of the ceremony in our own living room made us giggle, and definitely eased nerves at the rehersal and actual ceremony. To help us build our ideal ceremony, Mary offered a process that fit well with how we're used to doing work in our professions. She emailed us a packet with a range of different texts for all the different parts, along with links to other resources, allowing us to mix and match our favorites, as well as customized vows, onto an outline she also provided, and offering to help via email, phone or a meeting when we needed it. To use a food analogy, basically, we just picked from a menu, and Mary was the chef who made it all go together. On the big day, Mary did great with the ceremony, not missing a beat when some ambient noise from a neighboring property briefly interrupted us, and, again filling many roles, had tissues at the ready for when the bride needed them, and, even in the middle of a cousin’s reading, discretely stage managed the groom so he was standing in the right place.

Rev. Mary was wonderful! She was extremely helpful, flexible, took care of sending in the paperwork for the certified marriage license for us, and had great ideas about pictures and ceremony decor setup. She's very personable and down to earth, we loved her! She gives many options to choose from for every section of the ceremony or if you find something online to use instead, she'll use whatever you decide. Highly recommend her!!

We are so incredibly happy we had Reverend Mary marry us! We knew from our first meeting that we had found our officiant. She is approachable, funny, added a personal touch to our ceremony, was incredibly helpful with shaping our ceremony, and kept things light and fun- everything we wanted for our wedding day. Reverend Mary even helped me out before the wedding with pinning my veil for photos and after the wedding with ensuring our license was taken care of at the courthouse. She goes above and beyond and is an all around professional. Everyone at our wedding commented on how fun she was and how great and personalized our ceremony felt. My husband and I highly recommend Reverend Mary!! She is the best! :)

Reverend Powers is wonderful. She couldn't attend our rehersal, but made sure to send someone in her place to help us and go over everything. The ceremony went perfectly!! She was thorough and has a comfortable/peaceful presence.

I cannot tell you how happy we are to have had reverend Mary preform our wedding ceremony!!! She did such a beautiful job it was full of smiles and happiness. She also provides beautiful poems, scriptures, as well as many traditional or unique variations that you are able to pick and choose from. It took us a while to decide as there were so many beautiful options but in the end when it was all picked out it was perfect! it made our wedding ceremony one of a kind and Really really special that it was our vows and our pledges to each other. I just Loved it!!!!!
On top of providing a beautiful ceremony and having the security of knowing you have a reverend who really puts her heart and passion into the words she is saying she is also super wedding Savy and helped me figure out how to assign my first few rows of seating, timing, and even helped me pic out the perfect tree to get married under!
I had only met reverend Mary one time before our wedding yet she truly truly makes you feel like she has known you her whole life!!!
Our wedding was amazing because of her. Those precious 25-30 minutes filled with love, beautiful poetry, and a few good laughs will be in my heart forever.

We had a fabulous experience with Rev. Mary! She was very personable and professional from our first meeting. We had a large bridal party and Rev. Mary did any awesome job keeping everything organized and everyone exactly where they needed to be. She gave us an easy to follow outline to put together a ceremony that was just right for us and was very flexible with adding a Filipino tradition. She was also very patient with us when we submitted our vows pretty late. We would highly recommend Rev. Mary!

Rev. Mary was one amazing vendor to work with. I was stressed about how our vows would go and I didn't want to spend hours lamenting over it. When we first met with Mary she put our minds at ease letting us know that she would work with us to make our ceremony exactly what we wanted and that she would provide wording for us to choose from! She sent us the packet right away and I fell in love with so many of the selections that it was hard to choose! Her selections were so wonderful people kept telling us how much they loved the ceremony and even asked if we wrote them ourselves. She was extremely accommodating and came up something special when we did a unity glass ceremony instead of unity sand. To top it all off she was extremely flexible when it came to our our rehearsal and was prompt for both that and the ceremony.
I would HIGHLY recommend Rev. Mary Powers to anyone looking for an officiant!!

Rev. Mary was incredible to work with. She was quick in responding to my MANY questions, she tailors the ceremony to fit your personality. We through a last minute change to the ceremony just 4 days before the wedding and she never hesitated to make us happy. I would highly recommend her for your wedding!

Rev. Mary was incredible to work with. Responded to every email super fast. Flexible enough to change part of the ceremony 3 days before the wedding.
I highly recommend her, you design your ceremony to fit your beliefs and style.
Can't say enough good things about her!

Rev. Powers was friendly and open during our initial consultation. I thought I had done my research but she really brings a lot of experience to the table. I think those small details will make our wedding perfect!

Update after the event: Rev. Powers was perfection! She was friendly with guests, accommodated a run through prior to the ceremony, and had wonderful tips and cues to keep everyone looking their best. Thank you for helping to make our day wonderful!!

My husband and I were so happy with Rev.Powers! She helped our ceremony run beautifully considering our outdoor ceremony was rained out and we only rehearsed the outdoor site. She was easy to contact, always on time and willing to help with anything to be of service. I'm beyond impressed with her and would recommend her to everyone looking for reassurance on their big day. After the ceremony everyone asked where we met her because they too loved her. She was truly the best!

We are so happy that we chose Rev. Mary to be our officiant. Not only was she everything that we had hoped for and put our minds at ease during a very unique wedding situation that had it's own challenges, but she made the whole experience a special one for us. Rev. Mary was kind and helpful, extremely responsive and always answered every question we had. She allowed us to customize our vows and helped us make changes throughout the process. We couldn't have asked for a more wonderful person to carry out our wedding service.

I highly recommend Reverend Mary Powers as an Officiant! My husband and I had a unique request to exchange our vows on our boat in the Chesapeake Bay and Reverend Mary was one of several Officiants we contacted. Reverend Mary Powers was the first to reply, and we received timely responses, and timely follow up to questions and material exchanged, she was very accommodating and flexible in working with us as we had to have a “plan” and a “plan B” in case of inclement weather...as well as being very encouraging and positive. While Reverend Mary was the utmost professional – she was also a lot of fun and a very interesting person. For any future events that we will need an Officiant – we will definitely select Reverend Mary Powers!

Rev. Mary was such a pleasure to have officiate our marriage! She was super flexible and her response time was impeccable. Rev. Mary made my fiance and I feel more than comfortable and it truly was if we were talking with a longtime friend. Our first time meeting Rev. Mary was at Starbucks to discuss what we were looking for over coffee. After hearing the type of ceremony we were looking for, within an hour after leaving her, she sent us an amazing heart-filled agenda with tons of examples for each section of the ceremony. We were able to customize our ceremony the exact way we wanted it and Rev. Mary was full of suggestions from her experience on what tends to work and not work for an outdoor ceremony. On our big day Rev. Mary orchestrated our ceremony without a skip of the beat. She timed everything perfectly with our violinist not to mention made sure everything flowed perfect! Even after the ceremony, Rev. Mary took care of all of our filings for our marriage certificate and even left a copy that day so we could take it with us on our honeymoon for upgrades ;)

If I could rate Rev. Mary 10 stars, I would! There isn't any detail that is left out with her and her caring demeanor is priceless.

My husband and I were so fortunate to have Rev. Mary officiate our wedding and can't say enough good things about working with her. She helped us to build a ceremony that was meaningful and special to us and was always available if we had any questions during the planning phase. She had a lot of great ideas that we incorporated into our ceremony, such as honoring our family members who had passed away by placing flowers in a vase to signify their presence, which was a really special and touching aspect that we are so happy to have included.

We highly recommend working with her, as she is so committed to making sure that your ceremony is special and meaningful!

Reverend Mary is the best! She met with us to make sure that our ceremony wording reflected us as a couple. She returned our emails promptly in the months leading up to the wedding. She arrived early the night of our wedding and was always professional and cheerful! We highly recommend Reverend Mary Powers to any couple looking for a caring, experienced, and fun officiant!

We cannot possibly thank Rev. Mary enough for all she did for us. She officiated a friend's wedding a couple years ago, so when it came time to plan ours, we contacted her and luckily, she was available. What I remembered most about my friend's wedding was just how wonderfully she captured their relationship. She certainly did that for us. From the very beginning, she took the time to talk with us to get an idea of what we were looking for, gave us excellent suggestions (which we took) for the readings and made the day something we will cherish forever. Logistically, our wedding was a bit far from where she was, but she met us at our venue for a walk through, and of course for the rehearsal and ceremony. It was also pouring (hurricane season) the weekend of our wedding, but she was more than prompt and calmed our nerves. Also, we were a bit scatterbrained as the week of the wedding approached, but her understanding and professionalism truly helped everything go smoothly. Rev. Mary is just fantastic. I'd recommend her to friends, family and anyone who is looking for truly best officiant!!

Reverend Mary was the ideal officiant for our wedding ceremony. She was professional, kind, funny and relaxed. When we decided that at the end of the ceremony I was going to cut my husband's hair she was on board and excited to help us make it the ceremony we wanted, however unusual! Reverend Mary seemed to recognize immediately what type of ceremony we wanted and delivered it expertly. We had choices in all the components and had the option to craft our own as well. Mary struck a nice balance between light-hearted and serious. She was filled with laughter when things were funny and equipped with tissues for me when the tears came! We are very pleased we went with Mary for our ceremony.

Wonderful ceremony given by my cousin! We couldn't have asked for a better ceremony. We loved the way that we could choose our readings to make it uniquely ours. Beautiful day and wonderful ceremony. Betty is always quick to respond to emails and answer questions we may have had at the time. We loved every minute of it!!

I would highly recommend Rev. Mary to anyone needing an officiant! Her personality was very easy to work with and she was so quick to respond to emails when I had questions. Her fee is very reasonable, especially for the wonderful service she provides! Mary provided us with PAGES of resources, samples and examples for our ceremony that we could choose from or use our own wording/ideas. We loved that we were able to completely customize every aspect of our ceremony so it was a true reflection of us. At our rehearsal, Mary was easily able to wrangle our large bridal party and I felt totally prepared for our ceremony, she eased all my nerves. On our wedding day, Mary executed our ceremony flawlessly! We were so relaxed and it was absolutely beautiful, everything I had dreamed of. I also have to say- Mary went above and beyond on our wedding day, taking charge to make sure our DJ-provided sound equipment was set up on time and even helping to scatter flower petals down the aisle when the venue had forgotten to do it and guests were just about to arrive. I really can't say enough good things about our experience with Rev. Mary!

Reverend Powers is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. My husband and I had no idea what we were doing or how ceremonies typically worked when we first started planning, however, Mary was very patient with us and walked us through each step of the process. She was also very flexible with the decisions we made. She was such a pleasure to work with and our ceremony was wonderful because of her guidance. I highly recommend using Reverend Powers as your officiant!

Rev. Mary was so kind and helpful through our whole marriage process! She made picking our vows, readings, and ceremonies so much easier than I thought it would be. She also helped us keep it together on the wedding day and told us not to worry as long as we remembered each others names we would be okay haha. :) I would absolutely recommend her if you are looking for someone who is kind and caring and also passionate about what they do!

Rev Mary was a great pleasure to work with! She was very friendly and informative throughout the whole wedding planning process. She provided us with ample reading and wordings to guide us in creating our own ceremony and selecting each passage. She was able to offer suggestions for things we wanted to include in our ceremony, but didn't know how, helping us create a memorable and unique ceremony. She also offered helpful tips to keep our guests comfortable and happy, and to make sure we got some good photographic moments. She was prompt and prepared to both the rehearsal and the ceremony and made sure everyone could hear the ceremony in our outdoor venue, as well as made sure our reader was prepared. I would absolutely recommend her to everyone!

I highly recommend Rev. Mary Powers! When I initially inquired about her pricing, availability and services via email, she responded within minutes. My husband and I set up a time to meet with her in person a few months prior to our wedding and she was very flexible, friendly and easy to talk to. We immediately felt comfortable with her. She provided us with a very detailed and structured packet that outlined the entire ceremony. It included several different options (non religious, semi-religious and religious) for poems, readings, rituals, vows and everything in between. We really liked how easy it was to simply pick and choose what we wanted to include in our ceremony. There was absolutely no work or stressed involved! She is very reasonable priced and was always very quick to respond to any random questions I had. On the day of the wedding she arrived early and guided us throughout the entire ceremony. She did a great job and our entire family really liked her. If you're looking for a great and very organized officiant, definitely choose Mary Powers and I know you'll be very pleased with your decision.

Rev. Mary is so special to our family that she flew all the way to RI to be a part of our third child's blessing! She also performed the blessing ceremonies of our first two children. Each was beautiful. Rev. Mary worked with us to write our own ceremony, and added helpful suggestions along the way. She was timely in her responses by phone and email, and truly saw our "vision" for how we'd like our children's ceremonies to be and how we'd like to welcome our babies into our family. Thank you Rev. Mary!

Rev. Mary is the BEST! She is the most responsive vendor that we worked with - she would respond to emails almost immediately. She helped us set up a fantastic ceremony. She gives you so many options, from ulta-traditional to custom tailored. She met with us in person to begin the process, something that was very helpful.

Rev. Mary was early to both our reception and our wedding ceremony, and she even had pins ready to help with our groom's boutonniere. She let us make the specific decisions regarding entrances, who stands where and things like that - nothing is unable to be done with Rev. Mary! We could not be more enthusiastic about recommending her.

Reverend Mary was absolutely fantastic to work with. She was friendly, thoughtful, extremely well organized, prompt and all around great. She has a draft schedule of most things anyone would want in a ceremony from which you can add, delete or modify and then she provides numerous examples for each step that you can choose or create your own. Nothing could be easier and she takes care of it all. Working with her was completely stress free, and this is the most important part of the day. I recommend her to everyone. My bride and I cannot say enough good things about her. She has our full and complete recommendation.

Rev.Mary was fantastic. We actually won her services at a Bridal Show 2 years ago and we are so happy that we did. She was so helpful with answering all of our questions, during meetings, the rehearsal and of course our wedding day. I even slipped up during the vows in front of everyone (oops) and she just kept it going. Rev.Mary can accommodate such a wide range of preferences when it comes to religious or non-practicing couples. She did a great job at our ceremony and we're glad she was a part of it.

Reverend Mary Powers made our wedding process an ease. She was an absolute amazing officiant! She made sure to let us know that the ceremony is all about us and no one else. I cannot emphasize enough how spectacular she is to work with. She became much more than an officiant, but a friend to confide in with all the stresses for our wedding that she helped put at ease. Our wedding was wonderful and unique thanks to her help.

We used Rev. Mary for our wedding and we were both extremely happy we did! Not only was she cheaper then most of the officiants I researched, but her personality fit ours well. From the very beginning we knew she was the perfect Officiant for us, and she was great on our wedding day. I decided to write our ceremony with the material Rev. Mary provided, and it really meant a lot that she announced that to everyone on our wedding day. I wholeheartedly recommend Rev. Mary as your officiant.

Reverend Mary performed a beautiful ceremony for our wedding. From the moment we met her, she was professional, warm, organized, and always incredibly responsive. We felt that we had the benefit of Rev. Mary's knowledge and experience with the freedom to design a ceremony that was unique and representative of our relationship. Many of our guests asked if we had known Mary for years because of how personal they felt the ceremony was. We are so pleased that we chose Rev. Mary as our officiant and will be sure to recommend her to others.

Rev. Mary E. Powers was wonderful! She made the whole experience of setting up my wedding ceremony so easy! The packet she created with all the different ideas for each part of the ceremony was amazing. We are not religious in any way and we had plenty of options to choose from. It definitely relieved a lot of stress for me. It took my Husband and I a half an hour to decide what was going to be said at our wedding. Fast and easy! She's also down to earth which I loved about her. Her services are also inexpensive! I'd recommend her to anyone!

Rev Mary is the absolute sweetest! Through the whole planning process she made sure to check in from time to time just to say hi. It made us feel truly special.

She was wonderful and I would definitely recommend her.

I contacted Rev. Powers through the Internet. Rev. Powers replied back to me within a few minutes. We discussed the ceremomy and the plans for the restaurant wedding. My daughter was very nervous that I contacted an officiant from an on line service. I told her to call Rev. Powers to set up a Meeting with her and her Fiancee. After my daughter met Rev. Powers, all was right with her World. Rev. Powers made my daughter feel relaxed and she knew that Rev. Powers was going to make the service all my daughter wanted it to be. I can't thank Rev.Powers enough. My daughter's wedding came off without a hitch thanks to Rev. Powers. You are Wonderful!

I can not say enough nice things about Rev, Mary, First before the wedding started we had changed the date time and location Her original quote was for Feb 2014 in Baltimore, We changed wedding to Oct, 26th and changed location, There was no problem, Also I didnt have a coordinator, She made sure we knew everything we needed,she had no problem adapting to the changes, Her booklet was wonderfull, Im the groom, I planned the whole thing, I am a DJ, & djed many wedding but still was a lot to know and do, she helped anytime i emailed, Even if she was busy i heard back Im busy give me a day or so, So proffesional. very well spoken, We had an problem with the rehersal that was no way her fault, harbor tunnel got shut down, so i was forced to reherse on my own, I want to make clear it was not her fault. the booklet and wedding was premade so it wasnt hard, When the wedding day came she was very helpful during the ceremony making sure we where in right places , It felt like i had a million dollar wedding, So many guest complimented her, Since i didnt have a coordinatoor me and my best man where setting up, she helped a lot, she went above and beyond for us. Making our special day so great and wonderful, There is a lot of short cuts you can make in a wedding to save money, However your officiant and DJ are ones you shouldnt, I found her prices to be great compared to the 20+ officants I called, Not only was she first to respond but the cheapest as well, I also have djed many weddings, My own wedding aside, she is the best ive ever seen, Again thanks Rev. Mary, My special day will never be forgoten and either will i forget you for what you did for me and my wife, This isnt the only good review on here, I checked reviews before i hired, and if you look twards the end of the reviews, someone gave her great review BUT did the stars wrong or she would have a prefect score, , Thanks so much, Robert and Valerie Yeager, Oct 26th 2013, Salisbury MD,

We met with Rev. Mary once and we knew she was the one to marry us! She is a total professional. She was so helpful throughout the entire process and that put our minds at ease. We didn't have a day-of-coordinator, so we were so happy when she took charge at our rehearsal dinner and ceremony. She directed our procession order, let the musician know when and what he should be playing throughout the entire ceremony, where we should be standing, etc - little things I knew nothing about! She was amazing!

Rev. Mary Powers was great! She was flexible enough to work around our crazy schedules. We weren’t able to meet in person so we set up a time to Skype and it was just as beneficial as a face to face meeting. She sent a packet of examples for all parts of the ceremony which helped tremendously. We wanted to include two young step children into the ceremony and Rev. Mary provided some great advice on how to do that. She arrived on time and ready! We were busy taking pictures prior to the ceremony and when I walked into the venue Rev. Mary was there setting up the small things in our unique location so it would be perfect. Her personality is professional and cheerful and was the perfect match for our ceremony. I would definitely recommend Rev. Mary Powers to anyone.

Mary was very well prepared and went out of her way to meet us at our location. I would recommend Mary to anyone who needs an officiant that is punctual, professional, and extremely well organized.

Rev. Mary E. Powers was extremely professional and down to earth as any one could be in her profession.
She was on time for all our meetings as well as attending to all our needs and timely responses to all our questions prior to our event(wedding). She truly made our wedding an experince to remember by all. A number of our guests wanted to know where we found her? She was a blessing in disguise.....and would highly recommend her for any all occasions.

Mary was fantastic. I can't say enough good tings about her! From the very beginning she was super cooperative & flexible. She was also very helpful to us as we weren't quite sure where to begin. She met with us, working around our hectic work schedules and she provided all sorts of templates but told us we could configure the ceremony any way we wanted. She even intertwined a Cuban tradition she had never done before to honor the groom and his family. She tied in what each of us wanted--I wanted more of a secular ceremony while my groom wanted more of a Christian ceremony and she perfectly blended the two ideas. Mary was also very receptive, quickly responding to e-mails & phone calls. She seems to really enjoy her job. Mary was very punctual and extremely well organized. She even picked up folders for us that coordinated with our wedding colors! She printed out all of our readings & even the vows that we wrote ourselves & put them into sturdy folders which came in handy during our breezy ceremony. She offered suggestions to us while respecting each decision we made. Mary was animated and we received many compliments from our wedding guests on what a great job she did. Mary was an amazing choice and we are very grateful the the huge help she was in our planning process. We would recommend her to anyone!

What a nice positive person! She allows you to create a beautiful ceremony to your liking. She gives you nice options to pick from for every part. Sit back and relax, she will be in control on your wedding day and show you everything you need to do. My husband and I think she's great!!

I liked Mary from the moment I met her. She is super friendly and outgoing and has an overall pleasant personality! She met with us once when we hired her and then a week before the wedding. I was absolutely clueless as to how to act, where to stand, what to do and what to say...and so was my groom! Mary helped to ease our minds and was a great director. Our ceremony was perfect. It was personal and short and sweet. Everyone told me afterwards how touching it was and everyone was crying! We highly recommend Mary!! Thank you for making our wedding day even more perfect!

Rev.Powers was amazing! She helped us plan much of the ceremony and provided my husband and I with at least five different ceremony wordings. She even had the great idea of having a joining of families. This was a second wedding for both of us and we each brought two children to the family. Definitely give her five stars!

Rev. Mary Powers is the best officiant you could have at an event. She married my husband and I, and she was always willing to go above and beyond to make our special day ever so perfect. With a smile on her face, and always a positive attitude, She was so organized and easy to get ahold of, and if I needed to get ahold of her, she always responded in a flash. It was a blessing to have her officiate our wedding, and I highly recommend her to everyone! Thank you so much again Mary!! :)

We couldn't have been more happy with Reverend Mary. She was amazingly helpful. She promptly responded to anything we needed and had everything organized so we didn't need to worry about anything during the ceremony. We would recommend her to anyone.

From our first meeting we knew right away Reverend Mary was the one for us. We could not have been more pleased to have Reverend Mary be our officiant. She put me at ease and guided me through the ceremony as if she were literally my best friend. She made our ceremony a beautiful experience. Not only that, she brought such a personalization to it. It was as if she was part of our family. Even though parts of our ceremony were self written and unrehearsed she made everything perfect. We could not recommend Reverend Mary more highly!

I can not begin to explain how amazing Rev Mary was throughout the entire process of my wedding. She was in constant communication with me and my husband whenever I needed some input. Me and my husband are both active military so our schedules were pretty tight. She was extremely flexible for us. The ceremony was beautiful. I couldn't have asked for a better officiant.

Mary was wonderful providing us information to choose our own ceremony. she returned emails within the hour. She was willing to do whatever WE wanted to do. Most of all she was easy to talk to and we had a lot of fun during our ceremony.
