Marissa Sent on 09/29/2024A Love Story created by Maria
Maria is the most kind hearted, enthusiastic, and genuine officiant that one could ask for. Through out the process of planning our wedding ceremony Maria was extremely professional, thoughtful and responsive. We had MANY questions and each question was swiftly answered putting our minds at ease in the mist of the crazy wedding planning going on. The ceremony she created for my husband and I really tailored to our specific relationship showing the time and effort spent to create something unique for our love story. After the ceremony had ended so many of our loved ones were raving about how special Maria's ceremony made our day. You will want her to write your love story, she is truly talented in her profession! We can't thank Maria enough!!The Officiant's reply:
Marissa, I honestly don’t know where to begin…when I first met with you & Quinton I knew that our journey was going to be something special.
It was beyond a pleasure getting to know the two of you, to learn your story and share it with your friends & family. What a beautiful day it was celebrating you two ♥️
Thank you so much for the kind and heartfelt words! I couldn’t be more excited for the two of you as you start this next chapter. Cheers! -

Bianca Sent on 09/12/2025Highly recommend, you won't regret it.
If I could give more than five stars, I would. We got married over Labor Day Weekend, and we’re extremely glad Maria officiated our ceremony. As soon as we got off the initial call, we knew we wanted her to officiate our wedding due to her friendliness, warmth and experience. She was open to our ideas at how the flow of the ceremony should go and provided help every step of the way as we wrote our vows.
Our guests raved about the humor she injected throughout the ceremony and appreciated that she got to speak with them prior to the ceremony. Highly recommend her for weddings, you won’t regret it!The Officiant's reply:
Oh my gosh, Bianca! I absolutely loved being a part of your & Matt's wedding day - it couldn't have been more fun! Meeting your families and your friends was such a pleasure. And your ceremony just made my heart smile :) Having you share so much about your story and then having an opportunity to create a ceremony that truly spoke to it, and then to deliver it in such a way to your family & friends was all that I could have hoped for.
Thank you for sharing all you did with me, and I wish you & Matt a lifetime of love, happiness and a lot more Dropkick Murphys songs to be played ;) Cheers! -

Kate Sent on 09/13/2024Maria is the best!
We couldn't have asked for a better wedding officiant! From the first meeting, Maria made us feel at ease with her warmth and professionalism. Her heartfelt ceremony was personalized and captured our love story beautifully. She seamlessly blended the necessary details with unique touches, making the moment very special. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a truly memorable and personalized ceremony!The Officiant's reply:
Kate,
Thank you so much for your kind words! What an amazing moment to be a part of, and the location couldn't have been more beautiful; it's a view I won't ever forget. It was such a pleasure meeting your parents, and sons and having those closest to you share in such a memorable moment. Sending you wishes for a marriage filled with amazing adventures yet to come (scuba diving perhaps?).
Cheers!

Alexa Sent on 07/16/2024Maria will make your day unforgettable
Maria desired to get to know my husband and I so well, and it felt like Maria had known us all of our lives. She crafted such a beautiful ceremony and really wanted to be able to capture who we are. All of our guests asked how we have a personal close relationship to her from the way she spoke about us and our love during the ceremony. They thought we had known each other forever! To this day, Maria’s ceremony and words are one of the things that is remembered most fondly from us and most of our guests that people bring up and name as their favorite part of the whole wedding. She is the sweetest person, and is very passionate at what she does. She is extremely organized, very responsive, and flexible as she wanted to ensure our ceremony was absolutely perfect in our eyes. She handles everything down to your marriage license so you don’t have to stress about it on your wedding day. She is very well spoken and has the most calming voice (more feedback directly from our guests!) We HIGHLY recommend having Maria make your big day so memorable and perfect.The Officiant's reply:
Alexa, it was truly beyond memorable being a part of your wedding day. Your words mean so much, and embody what I strive for with all of my couples. It's about getting to know you, and building a relationship, even in a short period of time, so when it comes to your wedding day it's as if we are old friends. You're able to feel calm, comfortable and look back on your ceremony, and have it bring a smile to your face, and hold a special place in your heart. I couldn't be more excited for you & Matt as you step into this next chapter - enjoy every moment. Cheers! -

AMAZING - Highly Recommend!!
We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Maria! We got married in November, and I could not have imagined our day with her.
Maria took the time to get to know us and learn about who we are. She was so quick to provide us with answers to our questions and guide us through the process. Not only was the ceremony customized to us, but it perfectly captured our journey to marriage. Maria was so professional and her kind and welcoming spirit made our day all the more special.
All of our guest have repeatedly expressed to us how amazing the ceremony was, and we could not agree more. She made our guests laugh, and brought them to tears. Maria will always be part of our story, and we are so happy about that! :)The Officiant's reply:
Angela, thank you so much for your heartfelt review! There aren't enough words to express what a pleasure it was working with you & Dallas, and being a part of what was such an amazing day for the two of you. It was so much fun getting to know the two of you, learning your story, and all that lead to your wedding day. You two are simply amazing, and I wish you a marriage filled love, laughter and many concerts yet to come :) -

Maria is an absolute gem! She is not only an officiant, but a human who radiates warmth, calmness and eloquence throughout the whole process. She actively listens, connects, and personalized every detail making our special day uniquely ours. Maria also took time to engage and connect with our family, friends and even our puppy, who all absolutely loved having her be a part of our intimate ceremony and reception. Our guests were moved by her heartfelt words and seamless delivery. I highly recommend Maria for anyone seeking a meaningful and personalized wedding ceremony!The Officiant's reply:

As a wedding DJ, I have the pleasure of working with a ton of different officiants. Some that are fantastic, some that are...interesting, lol. Maria has always been one of the best! The energy she brings to the wedding is so positive and infectious that every time I work with her, I know it's going to be a great day. She truly is a fantastic person, with a passion for love.
