Emily H. Sent on 11/20/2023The only officiant you'll ever need
My husband and I honestly were very nervous about booking someone for our ceremony. We are not very religious and wanted a beautiful ceremony but were not sure where to find someone unless it was through a church. Maureen was the FIRST and ONLY person we talked to. From our first phone call with her she made us feel so at ease with our ceremony. I believe one of the first things I said on our phone call with her was "We want a beautiful ceremony without the religion". And oh my gosh did she deliver. She told us on our call that she officiates weddings for all different religions and ceremonies that are not religious at all. So many people came to us after the ceremony and told us how beautiful it was. We were also very nervous to write our own vows. When we booked Maureen it was right after we got engaged 2 years before our wedding date. Maureen met with us almost every month for those two years, which if you're not into that is totally optional. The "homework", from an online escape room to improve communication to helping us think of date nights we have never done before, helped us to in the end write our vows. If you are considering using Maureen as you officiant the answer should always be YES. I cannot recommend her enough. She truly goes above and beyond to make sure your ceremony is flawless. -

Maureen gave us not only the gift of a beautiful, meaningful, and unique ceremony, but also advice and tools to help our marriage last a lifetime. We looked forward to our premarital counseling sessions with her, where she took the time to get to know us intimately and helped facilitate important conversations about our future that gave us an extra boost of confidence going into our wedding. Both my husband and I come from religious families, and while we don't personally identify with a specific church at this time, Maureen wove in spiritual elements to our ceremony that made everyone happy. We feel so incredibly lucky to have met Maureen and we were able to have the perfect ceremony for us!1 Beautiful Day with Rev. Maureen Jeffries's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words! It has really been so fun to get to know you and S. I love when I get to return to families and hear stories from another angle. I love when your relatives remember me, but I really love when your story can come to life. Your wedding was nothing short of magical. Thank you for introducing me to the garden and for giving me one of my favorite moments at any wedding, hearing the Outlander ring vows recited by a Scot! Jamie Frasier has nothing on our S. Can't wait to see you at the Lake! -

From our first conversation with Reverend Jeffries we knew she was the one we wanted to marry us. She has such a warm and calming presence and brings a type of energy that makes you feel like you’ve known her for years. As we started to meet with her more regularly she opened mine and Adams eyes to a new level of connection, communication and love. She challenged us, and made us realize that there is so much more to partnership than we realize. The day of the ceremony I was so nervous and anytime she glanced at me or was able to touch my hand I was calm and centered again. The ceremony was beautiful from start to finish. EVERYONE commented on how beautiful the ceremony was. In person she felt like your cool aunt on your wedding day. Adam and I are so so thankful for her insight, kindness and the ability to make us dig deeper into our relationship. Even though our wedding is over we know Rev Jeffries will be in our life forever 🥰 1000000000000000000/10 recommend her to officiate your wedding! We love you so much!!!1 Beautiful Day with Rev. Maureen Jeffries's reply:
Can't even begin to express how grateful I am to have been a part of your day. You are such an amazing couple! Thank you for being open to the process and for being so open and honest. Wishing you many, many years of happiness. -

Working with Rev Maureen was hands down the easiest part of planning my wedding!! Rev Maureen puts her heart into her work, she truly wants to get to know her couples to create a heartfelt and personal ceremony. My husband and I had so many guests tell us how beautiful our ceremony was, they asked if we knew Rev Maureen personally, and in a way we did. We had spent meetings talking over our relationship, having conversations on perspectives, communication, and how we each felt most loved. She even looked over our vows and provided guidance in writing them! My favorite part was the “ring warming” ceremony where my mom and mother in law said a special prayer while holding our rings to bless them. Our ceremony was far beyond what my expectations were and it was the most joyful experience I had ever felt in my life!!! My husband and I learned so much about each other in our time spent with Rev Maureen, and we continue to apply the skills she gave us to our marriage. We are so grateful to have found Rev Maureen and feel so blessed to have worked with her in building the foundation of our marriage! THANK YOU REV MAUREEN!! ♥️ -

The voice of our wedding
Maureen was the voice of our wedding. From the day we began our planning journey with her she made us feel at ease and comfortable in an otherwise nerve racking process. She challenged us with questions that caused us to look inward at the heart of where our relationship started, what we wanted from our life together and what we wanted from our wedding day. She crafted a ceremony that both reflected on our past together but also centered us in the moment. She brought our guests in and made them feel welcome. She brought our story to life and we couldn’t be more grateful and thankful to have her part of our day and now, our life. When we think back on our day we’ll hear her soothing voice and we’ll smile. 10/10.1 Beautiful Day with Rev. Maureen Jeffries's reply:
You are so welcome Brian! It was the most beautiful wedding, the venue, the flowers, your handsome groom! I'm always the luckiest person in any room where I get to officiate a wedding. So grateful for you! -

My husband and I are so lucky to have found and worked with Maureen. From the moment we had our first phone call with her to our wedding day, she was supportive and totally present for us in the process. It was so nice to be able to meet with her multiple times in the planning process so she could get to know us in order to really personalize our ceremony. These meetings also served as a great time for my husband and I to communicate and talk about new things, share our different perspectives and be involved in the ceremony process. Maureen is funny, caring, invested and overall, an amazing person to be included in your special day. On the day of our wedding and now in the months after, people continue to tell us that she was one of the best officiants they've ever seen at a wedding. -

The most moving ceremony ever attended!
Choosing the right officiant was hugely important to my fiancé and I. We wanted to find someone who could blend the Christian values we grew up with and personalized elements that would feel true to our relationship. We also believe the marriage ceremony is the most meaningful part of the day and did not want anything rushed or cookie-cutter. Rev. Jeffries was the 3rd officiant we interviewed and we knew instantly that she was our choice. As part of her package, we met with Maureen via Zoom once a month leading up to our wedding so that she could get to know us as a couple. This led to us developing a wonderful friendship with Maureen before the ceremony, but it also allowed my fiancé and I to work through some important conversations about our values and our views on marriage. Maureen took the time to tailor a ceremony that was so heartfelt and personal, almost as if she had known us from the start. Our friends and families are still commenting about how it was the most moving ceremony they'd ever attended! On the day of the wedding, Rev. Jeffries went above and beyond, providing us with an emergency kit and talking me- a very anxious bride- and my nervous flower girl through a calming pre-ceremony meditation. We will genuinely miss spending time with Maureen and would recommend her to any couple planning their special day!1 Beautiful Day with Rev. Maureen Jeffries's reply:
Megan and Taylor - Thank you so much for sharing your wedding day with me! I am truly grateful for your kind words and your friendship. -

Naomi G. Sent on 09/29/2022Amazing officiant!
Rev. Jeffries is one of the most amazing people Dan and I have ever met. She is INCREDIBLE. There are just no words to describe the impact she had on our ceremony and even our whole wedding journey. From the beginning, we would meet with her monthly which was so fun. She had us do these fun exercises which bonded my husband and I together and helped ease the stress of wedding planning. She wasn't just for the day - she was with us for the whole process, as a comforting shoulder, as a counselor and as a guide. She helped us craft our vows and helped create from start to finish the most beautiful mixed faith ceremony. She even incorporated Sri Lankan aspects (a string tying ceremony) which made my mom feel like she was back in Sri Lanka, having a Buddhist ceremony. Rev. Jeffries words will forever be special to us, and our families. There was no shortage of tears in the crowd and between Dan and I. Thank you so much for creating such a beautiful ceremony for us.1 Beautiful Day with Rev. Maureen Jeffries's reply:
Naomi and Dan - Thank you so much for your kindness. Your wedding was truly magical and I am so lucky to have met you both and to have been there on your wedding day! -
