Mary is a great person to work with for your wedding! I've known her personally and professionally for several years, so when it was my turn to walk down the aisle, I knew I wanted her to be waiting at the end (with my future husband)! She worked with us back and forth to get the right combination of wording in our ceremony. She has a great personality and is very friendly to everyone she meets and will fit right in with your wedding day. I would recommend her to anyone! thank you, Mary!Mary is a great person to work with for your wedding!

Mary was incredibly helpful throughout the process and performed a beautiful, short and sweet ceremony -- just what we wanted! A few months before the wedding she met with us at her home in Kent Island to walk through everything so we knew what to expect and talk through all of our questions which put us both at ease. We were also able to customize our ceremony and she took care of everything so our marriage license was already returned to us when we got back from our honeymoon.

Mary performed my wedding ceremony and did a fantastic job...it was exactly as I had imagined and hoped! My wedding took place about an hour away from where I live, so I actually didn't meet Mary in person until the day of the wedding - all of the details and conversations took place via phone and email. I really can't say enough good things about Mary, and I received numerous compliments from my guests, who also thought she did a fantatic job and performed a lovely ceremony. She provided me with numerous samples and templates to help construct a ceremony specifically for me and my husband. She was very responsive to my questions, ideas, and even last minute changes. If you're getting married anywhere on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, I would highly recommend that you check out Mary - you won't be disappointed!Mary performed my wedding ceremony and did a fantastic job...it was exactly as I had imagined and hoped!

Mary is a great officiant. She offered a large selection of typical ceremony outlines and let us pick parts we liked, and add parts that made it special to us. She pulled it all together and kept it natural. Mary is a kind hearted person who will go out of her way to make the ceremony just the way you want it. She is flexible and easy to meet with. Also her grandsons are adorable! I think Mary is especially good at what she does because she loves her family and understands that a wedding is about bringing families together. We loved working with her and we wish she would have stayed for the reception!

We wanted a more personal and less religious ceremony for our wedding. Mary was the perfect match! She is very supportive of the ceremony being what the bride and groom want it to be and less about the "typical structure". She gave us a few examples of ceremonies, but let us give input and determine what we would like in it. She was extremely professional, flexible and gave great advice and direction for our day!! She was wonderful and I would highly recommend her!!We wanted a more personal and less religious ceremony for our wedding. Mary was the perfect match!

The other reviews pretty much said it: Mary is incredible. From the second that we met her, we knew we wanted her to officiate our wedding. She was sincere, understanding, and professional. If you are reading this, make an appointment to see Mary, and you will know what I mean within seconds of shaking her hand.The other reviews pretty much said it: Mary is incredible.

Mary did an AMAZING JOB!! My husband and I feel so blessed to have had her join our lives together in love. The ceremony was beautiful, and exactly what we wanted. Mary is a professional and yet still has the warmth of a family member. She spends times with you and your finance' before the wedding day so she can add special, personal features into the ceremony that make it personal and beautiful.

I was referred to Mary and I was very impressed with her warm tone and professionalism. She made the ceremony planning process less stressful by her experience. She simplified the process and was able to go back and forth via email to write and coordinate the ceremony. For me, email communication was key to fitting the planning into my busy schedule. We didn't meet face to face until the ceremony and everything went flawlessly. She incorporated the knot tying ceremony and special readings I sent her. Mary was very responsive and timely.I was referred to Mary and I was very impressed with her warm tone and professionalism. She made the ceremony planning process less stressful by her experience.

We hired Debra Maheux as our wedding officiant through this service. She was very flexible and worked with our schedules to meet and decide how we wanted our ceremony to be. We were able to put together a short and very meaningful ceremony (exactly what we wanted!) She was easily accessible by email for whenever we had a question. It was a real pleasure to have her for our officiant. She made the ceremony one of the least stressful things on our list (which was a blessing!)We hired Debra Maheux as our wedding officiant through this service.

This was a second marriage for both my new husband and I, so we wanted our ceremony to be short and sweet, but still meaningful. Mary gave us exactly what we wanted! She answered my emails promptly and was extremely helpful in puting our ceremony together, as well as guiding us through the process so we didn't miss anything. She has a wonderful demeanor and is a pleasure to work with.This was a second marriage for both my new husband and I, so we wanted our ceremony to be short and sweet, but still meaningful.

Mary did an amazing job officiating our wedding. I could not have been more pleased. I received numerous compliments from my wedding guests about how great she was. When we got back from our honeymoon & got our mail, she had already sent us all of the certified copies of our marriage certificate from the state..usually people take forever to get that to you! She was really easy to work with, we emailed back and forth and created my ceremony pretty quick. She has a lot of vows, readings and poems to choose from, or you can customize your own ceremony- she is very flexible. I never even had to meet with her in person and was 100% confident that she would deliver a perfect ceremony- which she did. I would highly recommend Weddings Your Way by Mary to anyone searching for an officiant!Mary did an amazing job officiating our wedding. I could not have been more pleased.

I cannot emphasize enough how flexible Mary was as our officiant. Our original officiant had an emergency surgery 2 months before our wedding. We were in a tailspin trying to find someone. My husband made a phone call to Mary and she was there!! She was efficient and patient, as we had a rainy, windy wedding day. Mary's presence made things calm and our ceremony turned out beautifully. I highly recommend.

In one word, we would describe Mary as pleasant. She has a smile to light the world, and she is so friendly. We chose Mary to be our Officiant not only because of this, but she was more then happy to spend the time with us to write a ceremony that reflected our relationship. She was very responsive with emails, and never seemed annoyed when we would request to change things. She handles her work with grace, and her calming presence made us feel comfortable on our wedding day. We would recommend Mary to anyone! Thanks Mary.In one word, we would describe Mary as pleasant.

Working with Mary was a pleasure for our wedding. We had a consultation meeting with her before deciding to hire Mary at her home. She has competitive pricing and we were able to work with her to create our custom ceremony. We received many compliments that our ceremony was personal and spiritual.
There were a few small mistakes during the wedding, which is why I lowered her score a bit: she forgot to tell our guests to sit down after I walked down the aisle, she pronounced our last name wrong when she introduced us as Mr. and Mrs., and during our special "tying of the knot" ceremony, we weren't quite sure what to do.
Despite these mistakes, I would recommend Mary as a wedding officiant.Working with Mary was a pleasure for our wedding.
