Amazing Officant!

Marilyn did such a unique and inspiring wedding sermon for our special day. The sermon was 100% about my husband and myself and she let us use vows we liked and let us add in quotes and other wording which was perfect for our special day. She was extremely easy to work with and was always available to go over anything we had questions about. It was truly a pleasure to work with her and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a very personal sermon.

Summary can't suffice - Marilyn was great!

Marilyn was absolutely wonderful to work with from start to finish. She started our experience off with a wonderful message along with instructions for us, as well as an incredibly detailed (read: extremely welcome) process to go through for collecting our thoughts and feelings about how our ceremony might flow. Working with her to finalize the ceremony was a great experience as well. Easy - but important - and she made us feel taken care of, for sure. After our ceremony, she provided even more detail about how to go about finalizing the paperwork with the State. For all of the love and joy that went into our ceremony, it's easy to forget about the details, and she made sure we didn't. We cannot give enough praise to Marilyn for the work she does, and the ceremony she helped orchestrate!

Marilyn also did a great job of dealing with an issue with our sound during the ceremony. She did everything possible to make sure her equipment worked perfectly, but our DJ had a slight miscommunication. Marilyn handled it with ease, and we had an absolutely perfect ceremony, thanks to her.

Marilyn was wonderful throughout the entire process. Once hired, she gave us "homework" to do in order to find out who we were. We had a lot of fun with the assignment and the ceremony she developed from it was perfect for us. She made the ceremony so personal and we felt like she really knew who we were. After the ceremony was written, we were able to choose from different options and readings which made it even more personal. We chose to do the sand unity ceremony option and she gave us the vase as a gift. Even after the ceremony was over, she emailed us very thorough instructions on how to get your marriage license, change your name, etc. She has every detailed covered from start to finish. She was truly wonderful to work with. We have received so many compliments from friends and family who attended the wedding about how personal the ceremony was.

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding officiant! Marilyn was always available via email for any questions we needed answers to. She was very accommodating during our last minute change of ceremony site due to a high possibility of rainfall at our original outdoors location. She truly delivered the ceremony of our dreams. Our guests loved her. Many stated it was the most personal ceremony that they had ever witnessed. Thank you again Marilyn! You were our first choice and we are so happy that you were able to perform our ceremony!

This is the second time we have worked with Marilyn from With This Kiss I Thee Wed, and our experience was once again amazing! We recently had a Baby Blessing for our newborn daughter and wanted a unique day that was designed just for us and that's exactly what Marilyn did! Her response time is incredible and every request was fulfilled! Having her officiate our wedding day and then our daughters Baby Blessing a year later was very special to us. She is warm, welcoming and feels apart of the family. Highly recommend!

Marilyn was great from the very beginning! We actually found her through all of the wonderful reviews other people submitted thorough wedding wire and theKnot. After I contacted her, she responded immediately even though she was away on vacation. Marilyn was always easy to get in touch with when we had a question and she has beautiful customizable ceremonies. We chose to do the sand unity ceremony option and she gifted us the vase and shells. Marilyn makes you do a small homework assignment so she can learn more about you and your future spouse in order to make the ceremony personal. We really enjoyed the homework because it makes you think about your relationship and how far you have come. After she writes your ceremony you have a chance to go through it and pick and choose between different options, readings, etc. We received many compliments on how personal our ceremony was. She also gives you pointers and recommendations for how to go about getting your marriage license, as well as how to change your name after you are married. Marilyn guides you through the entire process. I would highly recommend Marilyn to any future brides out there who want a beautiful and personalized ceremony!

Marilyn is absolutely amazing! She took the time to get to know us, what we wanted with our wedding, and tailored our service to be "us".
When I contacted her through her website, she responded within a half hour. She was extremely professional, and kept us in the loop with every detail. She responds pretty quickly to every e-mail you send her!
The day of the wedding, she informed us when she was leaving and expected to arrive, and was even a few minutes early! She completed all of the paperwork with the witnesses, then socialized with my guests! When it was finally time for the service (it was at our house and we did not have a professional photographer), she helped us figure out what spot would be best for us to stand so other people could take pictures. The ceremony itself was beautiful, her speech captured every part of me, my husband, and our relationship. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how great she was!
After the ceremony, she sent us an informative e-mail out about what to do next. It's extremely helpful, especially if you're changing your last name.
I really have no negative things to say about Marilyn! She really is the best out there, and I would NOT choose anyone else to perform your ceremony.

We are an out of town couple who decided to get married in NJ where our families are. Without ever meeting Marilyn, we knew from our first phone conversation that she was a good match for us. Without knowing we would pick her, Marilyn was happy to share information with us so we knew what we needed to do as an -out-of-state couple even if we decided to choose another officiant.

She answered all our emails within a few hours and was accommodating or instructive with every request and question we had.

She kept us on track with those things which were our responsibility and she took nothing for granted. She made sure we knew what we had to do every step of the way. She was professional always, and very personable.

On the day of the wedding, she delivered our ceremony flawlessly. It was written just for us, very much represented who we are as a couple, and people are still complimenting us on our ceremony.

You will not be disappointed if you choose Marilyn to officiate.

I don't now where to begin in order to express how glad we are that we chose Marilyn to officiate our wedding ceremony.
From our first contact she was warm, informative and competent. When we wrote her with any question her response was usually within an hour. Certainly our most responsive vendor.

Our ceremony was perfect, funny in all the right places, and very meaningful to us. Marilyn listened to what we said and wrote a ceremony based on everything we requested. And she delivered it flawlessly! Everyone raved about our ceremony and even now, a few months later, people tell us that our ceremony was about the best wedding they ever attended.

Marilyn contacted us immediately, the next morning, with a follow-up email on a step-by-step process for the name change process, even the link to update my passport!

She also sent us the forms and specific information for us to obtain our certified record of marriage from the municipality where we were married. So many friends we know still haven't gotten their names changed yet because they aren't sure how to go about it, and because of Marilyn, my name was officially changed within the week!

Marilyn is truly wonderful, we loved her.

Marilyn was amazing! She was the officiant for me and my wife and we cannot thank her enough. She was on time on the day of, and she was extremely helpful during the entire process! She speaks loudly and clearly and even has her amplification device so we didn't need to rent another microphone for the service. Her ceremony was beautiful, and managed to really capture the essence of our relationship that was both funny and touching. I hope I never have to get married again, but if for some reason I have to, I'd gladly hire Marilyn again! Thanks so much for everything!

You can tell that this is more than just a job for Marilyn. She genuinely enjoyed celebrating our union and sharing in our special day. From the first contact to the moment of "I do", Marilyn was very pleasant to work with and extremely responsive. The process of getting married and planning a ceremony can seem daunting, but Marilyn guided us through all the paperwork and explained everything we needed to do. She's really on the ball and will reach out to you with your "homework assignments" throughout the year as the wedding date approaches. She really made the process a breeze and the end result was beautiful. After our beach wedding in Ocean City, we received so many compliments on how unique and personalized the ceremony was. I would highly recommend Marilyn to anyone looking for an officiant. She is the perfect combination of warmth and professionalism and she's affordable, too! Do yourself a favor and book her today!

The best choice of my wedding besides my husband! haha Marilyn was like a smart, friendly, warm, professional, experienced family member who 100 percent has their act together and is helping you through the process. If you're in the area and looking for an officiant, honestly you HAVE to book her. I live in Chicago and we went to Ocean City, NJ to get married on the beach. I planned everything remotely and it was a little daunting. Marilyn guided me through a lot of the process and not just the ceremony (which in itself was exquisite). She basically handed me all the information I needed for the legal and paperwork part of getting married out there and that was just a huge help. She was also patient and on top of her game the whole time as she worked with us to create this ceremony that was meaningful and specific to us. We wanted to do a handfasting ceremony and it was just beautiful. The woman literally crosses all her t's, dot's all her i's, holds your hand and does it with this huge, warm smile. Genuinely great lady!!

From start to finish, working with Marilyn on our wedding ceremony was a very easy, organized, and enjoyable process. Marilyn was always very professional and responsive to my emails and many questions. We had a 30-45 minute phone call when I initially reached out to her and we instantly connected and I knew I wanted her to be our officiant. She is easy going and will tailor the ceremony to exactly what you want. Leading up to our wedding day, I enjoyed my interactions with Marilyn, but was a bit apprehensive about having her officiate our wedding without never having met her in advance. Marilyn did not disappoint on our wedding day - she arrived at the right time, introduced herself and instantly put us at ease. She delivered a great ceremony while also helping us (and other participants) through by giving us all cues along the way. We received many compliments from our guests about how great and unique of a ceremony it was - it was serious, but fun, and very "us". It was exactly what I wanted it to be and I am very thankful for having found Marilyn to be our officiant.

Marilyn was our wedding officiant. She listened to what we wanted for our ceremony and personalized it just for us. She has a strong attention to detail. She gives you tips and reminders to keep you on track in the wedding planning process to make sure everything goes smoothly. We had an oathing stone ceremony and our family and friends commented about how special and unique it was. We highly recommend Marilyn.

I feel so lucky that we had Marilyn as our wedding officiant. She offers so many different ceremony options and is very quick to respond to any questions/emails you may have. Since we are local we decided to meet with her before our wedding. We are so glad we met her! Meeting Marilyn before our wedding made us feel so at ease. She is really a pro at what she does. Since we were having trouble writing "our story" she gave us a questionnaire to help us tell our story. It worked! She wrote a heartfelt and beautiful ceremony for us incorporating many aspects of our relationship. We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful and meaningful our ceremony was. That was exactly what we wanted! Thank you Marilyn for everything you do. I am beyond thrilled with our ceremony-memories that will last a lifetime for sure.

I can't say enough about Marilyn. She braved high winds and flooded roads to make it to our venue to marry us! The ceremony was so beautiful that no one gave another thought to the uncooperative weather outside. Marilyn set the tone and officiated the perfect ceremony for us in front of our loved ones who thought she must be a close friend of ours to have recited our story so well. We would definitely recommend Marilyn to any couple. She was wonderful to work with and is so committed to making your day special. xo!

Both Liz and I feel that Marilyn could not have been more on the ball and on top of things. Marilyn has a great way of calming you down when you begin to feel your special day creeping up on you. Marilyn is precise and absolutely knows what she is doing. You really feel that this is her specialty. Marilyn always makes you fell like you are her most important couple. We are in the West Coast and even with the time difference, Marilyn always made us feel comfortable contacting her anytime and she would very quickly get back to us and reassure us that everything was going to be fine and it absolutely was. We are a same-sex couple and could not have felt more comfortable and accepted with Marilyn. Thank you again Marilyn from San Diego, Ca.

Marilyn provided excellent services for our wedding this past July! She responded to all of our emails and questions promptly, and went above and beyond to make sure we were informed throughout the whole process. At the actual ceremony, she presented the our story and the affiliated information, vows, etc. with prowess and a personal touch that made it more individualized for us. We would definitely recommend having Marilyn as your officiant!

Everyone that we spoke to said that they had such a great time and loved the way the ceremony was structured. We wanted to keep a happy tone for it and you did such a marvelous job helping our vision become a reality!

It was so flattering to hear from so many people that ours was one of the most fun, if not best weddings that they have been to. Not that its a competition, but thats still great to hear! We cant thank you enough for working so hard to capture the essence of what Megan and I mean to each other, despite not being able to meet us in person until pretty much right before the ceremony. We would recommend you to anyone!

From start to finish Marilyn was excellent, responsive, kind and always willing to go to the extra mile in the service she provided to my new husband and I. She promptly answered our questions, provided us with many samples/ideas as we were writing our love stories, vows, readings and ceremony. Marilyn was happy to make as many changes as we wanted to our ceremony so that we would love it. Marilyn was so accommodating along the way as we were making decisions for our ceremony package/plans. She even offered to bring a small table that she keeps in her trunk for wedding couples for us to use during our ceremony. Leading up to the ceremony, she provided us with frequent check-ins/reminders to keep us on track and ensure we had everything we would need for the big day! On the day of our beach ceremony, Marilyn arrived early and was prepared and calm. She met with our two witnesses to have them sign our marriage license prior to the ceremony. Marilyn conducted a beautiful, personal, meaningful and well-planned ceremony for my husband and I that we will always cherish. After our wedding, she sent us a thoughtful email remarking on the components of our ceremony she particularly enjoyed, which was fun to read and relive the moment! This email also included logistical information about the name change process/next steps in acquiring our marriage license. Marilyn could not have been easier or more pleasant to work with. She truly made our wedding ceremony so special and flawless because of all the hard-work she put in in the months leading up to our ceremony!

In the search for an Officiant, we read and compared reviews, but what helped us choose the best Officiant for us was Marilyn's quick, professional and very sincere response. She made us feel special and customized our ceremony to our fit our relationship, story and wedding perfectly! She was very informative and went over every detail with you from your type of ceremony to how to change your last name after receiving your marriage certificate. She did all the work for us, taking away any added stress. She even ironed out specific details and made sure everything was perfectly how we envisioned on our wedding day! We even had many compliments from our guests about how beautiful our ceremony was and how wonderful Marilyn was. She truly went above and beyond to make our special day perfect for us!

Marilyn is absolutely amazing and we could not have asked for a better officiant for our big day! Before my fiance and I officially tied the knot, we wanted to do something special just between the two of us and Marilyn went out of her way to marry us at a local park. We both loved how Marilyn was in constant communication with us from the time we told her that we wanted her as our officiant and even after the wedding day to give us instructions for name change, marriage certificate info, etc. She was extremely professional and organized, which made things much easier for us! My fiance and I did the 'Oathing Stone' ceremony and it was absolutely beautiful. Marilyn provided us with the stones which the guests held and wrote on to give back to us. Our ceremony was quick and absolutely beautiful, just the way we wanted it and we could not be more thankful! We will definitely be recommending Marilyn to anyone we know getting married :)

We are happily married thank to Marilyn! She was wonderful!
We all loved the wedding, the personalized speech, her charming!
We had to arrange everything in a short period of time and we didn't have any issues, she was very responsible, always aswering to my questions quickly.
Also, another thing to point, is that my family is in Argentina so they had to watch it thru Internet and Marilyn was perfect for the job, she helped us a ton doing an understandable ceremony for long distance (not English-speakers) viewers, and she also greeted them at the end! So nice of her!
If you are looking for an Officiant in the South Jersey area, don´t doubt about it, Marilyn is the best choice! :D
Marilyn, THANK YOU so much again for a wonderful and memorable ceremony! We couldn't have asked for more!

Marilyn D'Auria was one of the recommended vendors through our venue, and as soon as we started emailing, I knew exactly why. Marilyn was so unbelievably helpful throughout the process of planning, and I would have definitely had many stress freakouts if it wasn't for her. We got married in NJ, but moved shortly before the wedding to GA, so we were planning long distance, which led to many questions about how to apply for our marriage license, how to file the certificate, etc etc. Marilyn had the answers to every single one of my questions and quickly, might I add! I couldn't believe how detailed and helpful her responses were.
The ceremony itself was so customized and 100% us. Marilyn had it ready for us weeks before our date to review. We were able to change anything we wanted, which made for a very personal and heartfelt ceremony.
As for performing the ceremony, unfortunately Marilyn was already booked for that evening, but she assured us her husband John would do a wonderful job. Having not conversed with him previously, I was a little nervous, but I had no reason to not trust Marilyn, so we went with it. John did such a great job, and my only regret was not having time to talk to him before or after just to thank him and chat with him because he seemed like a lovely person.
We got so many compliments on our ceremony and that was all because of Marilyn and John. They were so helpful and wonderful, I can't express it enough!
Thank you thank you thank you so much to you, Marilyn and John, for making our wedding less stressful and unforgettable!

I am so happy/lucky that I came across Marilyn. She has such an easy and thorough process. She arranged the perfect ceremony for us. She was kind, reasonably priced and very quick to respond. If you are thinking of using Marilyn as your officiant you will not be disappointed!

Marilyn was the perfect officiant to bless our wedding. From the very beginning she was very friendly and communicated how much she wanted to personalize the ceremony. She was willing to meet up with us to get to know us and to discuss how she could personalize the ceremony. As we met with her we felt so comfortable around her and she even brought an example of the wedding cord that was going to be used in our hand fasting ceremony. The range of options that she presented to us to show our unity (sand ceremony, hand fasting, unity candle, etc) was great and she even explained each option and what they mean. We both wanted the handfasting ceremony, as this was very unique, but also provided a good amount of meaning for us both. Marilyn fully customized our ceremony after asking both my future wife and myself to write some blurbs about us and our relationship. Marilyn melded this together into a fully customized ceremony that she sent several drafts for us to review. She was always pleasant and timely in her responses. She also helped guide us as my future wife and I wrote our own vows. She provided excellent feed back and support for them. On the day of the ceremony she worked her magic as she assisted in getting the necessary legal documents taken care of. She was there with a smile and provided the most excellent service in blessing our marriage. She was clear with her words and guided us along on our big day. Working with her was easy, as it was like working with a good friend. If you are seeking a personal ceremony with its own uniqueness, Marilyn is the person that you want. She provides so many options for you that you can truly personalize a day that is about you. And that is something that she never took the focus off of...you. She was excellent and there are not enough words to descibe the kindness, support, and professionalism that she displayed with us. We both thank her from the bottom of our hearts!

We are so glad we chose Marilyn as our officiant. She was so easy and pleasant to work with leading up to the wedding day. She customized our ceremony perfectly, it was personal, funny, meaningful and memorable without being too lengthy. She performed the ceremony in about 15 minutes, which is exactly what we were looking for. After the wedding, she sent us an email about what to do next like obtaining our marriage certificate and changing my last name. She truly cares about the couples she marries and that is a great trait for someone who is joining you in marriage.

My wife and I got married on Oct. 11 at Renault Winery, and it couldn't have been better. A lot of the credit goes to Marilyn and John D'Auria of With This Kiss I Thee Wed LLC.

We cannot stress how helpful and professional Marilyn was during the entire ceremony planning process. Communication was never a problem as she provided us with every detail, helpful tips and what to expect throughout.

Marilyn was unable to officiate our wedding because she had another scheduled that day, but her husband, John, did a fabulous job. He made us feel at ease and his reading of the ceremony was perfect.

We highly recommend both Marilyn and John D'Auria for your wedding planning needs!

Planning a wedding can be stressful, especially when it comes to finding an officiant. Marilyn was FABULOUS. It was meant for me to find her. She made the whole process easy and smooth. She was extremely helpful in creating exactly what we wanted for our ceremony. She captured our "love story" and turned it into a beautiful ceremony. I can't recommend her enough, she's amazing! Absolute professional.

We found Mrs. Marilyn for our ceremony through Positive reviews so we are making it a point to write an Excellent review about her!!! There is NOTHING she couldn't help us with, she gave us beautiful options to make our ceremony perfect, she gave all vital info in reference to applying for marriage liscense etc... (Which is vital for out of town couples.) Very easy to work with and covers everything in great detail!!!! There are people who do there job because it is a job and there are people who do there job above and beyond because they love what they do and care.... Marilyn is someone who does above and beyond and you feel she cares, you are in Amazing hands if you trust her with your Wonderul day!!! I even had someone who attended my ceremony tell me they would like to travel to Atlantic City when it is time for them to get married(and this wouldn't be there first marriage) just to have her perform there wedding and I think that speaks volume especially since destination weddings are much more money then just getting married in your home town!!!! Anyway, my Ceremony was a DREAM and we owe it ALL to Marilyn D'Auria, I hope anyone who is in need of an officiant do themselves a favor, make your ceremony a DREAM too by using Marilyn!!!!!!

Marilyn was absolutely amazing!! I contacted her a couple months before our wedding date when our other officiant didn't show up for a meeting and then never responded to phone calls. Marilyn calmly talked me out of nervous breakdown and walked me through the process she usually follows when doing a wedding. She was so professional; she explained everything and then sent over a copy of a contract with details thoroughly explained. After signing the contract she sent out an outline of ceremony options, which were vast but not overwhelming. My husband and I enjoyed reading through the options and making the ceremony just the way WE wanted it. The end result was wonderful! EVERYONE said how nice the ceremony was, especially since it was so personalized. I would highly recommend using Marilyn as your wedding officiant!

Our ceremony was well-written and well-delivered. It was easy for us to see that Marilyn LOVES her job and does a great job of it! Thank you again Marilyn - you made our wedding day a memorable one!

My wife and I had no idea where to start in looking for an officiant for our wedding, so we started reading online reviews. Marilyn at With This Kiss I Thee Wed had a lot of positive feedback online, so we decided to reach out to her to ask her some questions about the service she provided. As soon as I spoke to her on the phone, I could tell she would do a great job as our officiant. She sounded kind and gentle but also sure of herself, and she was ready to offer advice whenever we needed it. Marilyn was always very prompt in getting back to us when we had questions and concerns, and she was always very informative, even in areas like obtaining our marriage license and name change advice AFTER the ceremony was over! Additionally, the weather was questionable the day before and the day of our outdoor ceremony, but Marilyn was flexible and well prepared to deal with any scenario we were likely to run across. The ceremony she wrote for us was personalized, beautiful, and tailored to our specific situation. She took the time to gather our love story and put it in words that made our wedding day unforgettable. Thank you again, Marilyn – you did an outstanding job!

I contacted Marilyn after reading some of her reviews online. I cannot tell you how happy I am that we chose her to be our officiant for our very special day! As soon as I received Marilyn's response to my very first email, I knew she was the perfect officiant for our wedding.
Marilyn was so prompt and precise in responding to all of my questions. She went far above and beyond her duties to help us out in every way possible. Marilyn walked us through the process to obtain our license, helped us choose the type of ceremony, the time of day, the perfect place for the ceremony and afterward has helped us with the legalities, name change process. etc.
We chose the elopement ceremony. There were just myself, my husband, our son and a few others at our wedding. The ceremony was absolutely BEATUIFUL. Marilyn was extremely professional, and at the same time a lot of fun!
I highly recommend Marilyn as a wedding officiant!

We highly recommend using Marilyn for your wedding!! She was so sweet and kind and guided us through the entire wedding process. Marilyn was super prompt answering every phone call and email and explained everything to us, step by step. She tailored and customized our wedding ceremony to fit our love story and it was truly beautiful and a genuine reflection of us. During our ceremony, she made us and our guests extremely comfortable and provided us with the most beautiful and memorable ceremony that we could have ever asked for. I cannot say enough about Marilyn! My husband and I absolutely love her and would recommend anyone getting married to consider using her services. Not only is she professional and friendly, but she makes the entire wedding process a piece of cake!!! Hands down, she is the best!

Marilyn performed our ceremony at the Ocean City Yacht Club on May 16th and our guests are still talking about what a lovely ceremony it was. We initially began the wedding planning while living out of state which made it quite challenging to meet with vendors but from the moment I spoke with Marilyn over the phone, I was certain we would be in good hands. She is not only a true professional but warm, welcoming and VERY patient. I hope that other couples will enjoy her services as much as we did. Thank you, Marilyn!

My wife and I recently utilized Marilyn as our wedding officiate and I sincerely cannot say enough positive things about her services. Her services were everything we hoped for and more. Marilyn assisted us from start to finish on the day of our wedding and suggested subtle changes that made the procession and ceremony more beautiful. Any and all questions we had were answered in a timely manner and emails were exchanged without issue. She also went above and beyond in the sense that she sent a follow-up email with very useful information for newlyweds pertaining to name changes and such. I would certainly suggest her services to anyone looking for a local wedding officiate.

Marilyn was absolutely wonderful. The ceremony was perfect- it was warm and reflected who we are as a couple. During the planning phase Marilyn was so receptive to our ideas and interested to learn about us that I quickly felt as if I knew her. I was brought up Catholic and my husband is Jewish. Our ceremony gave a nod to both of our faiths and Marilyn made this process so easy to do. Our guests are still telling us how wonderful our ceremony was! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone, as she is attentive, flexible, kind and a pleasure to work with.

Marilyn was a great officiant. My husband and I waited until almost the last minute and was referred to Marilyn by a friend. She was very quick to respond and get back to us on everything. She took everything we told her about ourselves and made it sound beautiful. When we got to meet her she was extremely nice and you could instantly tell she loved what she does, which made everything she said meaningful and heartwarming. She has a lovely tone of voice and speaks very well. It was not hard to understand her and she knew where to pause for effect, laughter, etc. to make everything flow well. I would highly recommend her for any ceremony and it was a pleasure to meet her.

I wish we could leave an even higher rating than 5/5! We were a last minute elopement that we wanted to make our ceremony nicer than just at the courthouse. We found Marilyn and it was a perfect match, our ceremony was amazing, felt like she had known us for years! She braved the beach in March for us, and was just wonderful about everything. Beyond the actual ceremony she went above and beyond every expectation, answering our 500 questions, working around our very right timeline; and after all was said and done even gave information on how to change my name and how to pick up our official marriage certificate. Highly recommended to anyone looking!!!

My Husband and I want to Thank Marilyn for being our Officiant for our wedding ceremony.As soon As I spoke with her on the phone I knew that she was the one who could only add to our special day.We were so nervous on how to choose Our vows but Marilyn made it stress free and easy.:) She is such a sweet person how can Anyone not love the presence of her in a room.Hiring Marilyn was the best decision ever because she surely loves what she does. I saw that for myself when my father who hadn't walked in ten years walked for the first time as he walked me down the aisle and as every one cried Marilyn herself showed such joy and emotion as well.It was as if she was a family member and we've known her for years.I am so glad it was her who got to share that extra special moment with us, because she surely is an incredible woman and she deserves to know that.I would recommend her to anyone,because if you choose Marilyn you will be lucky just as we were to have her be involved in your special day. Keep doing what you love Marilyn..xoxo Mr and Mrs Thavisack :)

I recently got married on October 12, 2013. Marilyn D'Auria performed a hand fasting wedding ceremony that was great! My husband and I could not have been happier with Marilyn! She will go above and beyond in making your wedding ceremony the greatest and as stress free as possible! She is light speed quick with responding to emails and is so helpful with all sorts of tips and tricks for the rehearsal, actual day of wedding and even the few weeks after the wedding with obtaining licenses and changing your name. I highly recommend Marilyn *With This Kiss I Thee Wed*!!

We hired Marilyn's company, "With this kiss I thee wed", for our wedding last month. We met with her prior, to discuss what we were looking for in an officiant: We wanted a non-denominational service for our beach wedding. She asked us questions about ourselves and our relationship so that she could personalize our service. She even asked us what we preferred for her to wear. We chose a traditional minister robe. She sent a rough draft of the service for us to read over and and edit as we felt necessary, as many times as was necessary. She even allowed us to add somthing to the service last minute, with no hesitation...she was very caring and kind. She was also incredibly helpful regarding questions related to what to do after the wedding, as well: name change, receipt of marriage license, passport, etc... She even said that if we have questions later on, that she would be glad to answer them for us as best as she can. But, most importantly, the service was touching, personalized, and to-the-point. Everyone was coming up to us at the reception talking about how much they enjoyed the ceremony. Even our hard-harted guests got teary eyed :-). Marilyn did a great job and I would 100% recommend her to any couple looking for a great officiant.

Marilyn was absolutely amazing!!! From the moment we met her, my fiancé, now husband and I felt like we had known her forever. Marilyn went above and beyond the role of an Officiant and answered any questions we had a long the way. Most times she answered questions we had before we even got the chance to ask them which was great! With all the stress that comes with planning a wedding, Marilyn made one less thing stressful!

One of the important aspects I considered when choosing my vendors was the vibes I received from the first couple of communications... and Marilyn was no exception. She already had a wedding booked on my date earlier in the day, but agreed to also perform my ceremony. She even came up with a back up plan in the unlikely event that she would get stuck in traffic and fail to make it to the venue on time. As a nervous planner myself, I really appreciated this. From there, I knew that she was going to be a perfect choice for us. Through all of our communications, she was so nice and witty that it made us feel completely comfortable. When it came to the actual ceremony, Marilyn was flawless. Our guests raved about how beautiful and perfect the ceremony was for us as a couple and we could not be any happier with her services. In 40 years, we may not remember every single detail of our ceremony (although I'm sure we'll remember the fact that my husband tried to recite the ring exchange twice...haha), but we will remember how perfect it was... and that Marilyn made it that way.

Marilyn was a great officiant with us. She communicated often and clearly. She spoke with my wife and myself several times and put together a really wonderful ceremony.

On the day of, she was very friendly, and performed a great ceremony exactly as my wife and I asked for. She was always cheerful, provided great input, and reminded us to make sure we sent her everything needed for the ceremony. She also gave us great advice about marriage and how to approach our wedding day. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant!

I got married on the beach in Ocean City, and my reception venue (Greate Bay Country Club) recommended Marilyn to me, and I can see why they did! It was a real pleasure to work with Marilyn, and I am beyond elated that she was able to be a part of our wedding day. Correspondence during the months before my wedding was fluid and filled with love and joy. We picked her hand-fasting, secular wedding package, which included a handmade braided cord (we picked 3 colors and it turned out BEAUTIFULLY!). When the day of the wedding came, she was right on time and the ceremony was flawless. She sent us a first draft of the ceremony a few weeks before the wedding, and I cried while reading it at work.. it was just so wonderful and personal. She even helped us out at the local clerk's office by handing in our documents the next morning. We were able to pick up certified copies of our Marriage Certificate the morning after the wedding! I cannot thank Marilyn enough for everything she did, and I will most definitely recommend her to anyone!

Marilyn was absolutely amazing. From start to finish she was helpful, personable, and above all else a true professional. She made our wedding ceremony personal and beautiful with amazing input and suggestions as well as a long detailed list of ceremony options to choose from. She was extremely helpful in telling us how to complete all the necessary paperwork with arranging to get our marriage license and how to go about changing my name (we wouldn't have known where to start without her!) On our wedding day she came early to meet me, fill out paperwork and put my mind at ease (even texting me that morning to make sure I wasn't too nervous). Everything about our wedding day was picture perfect and I don't think I could have done it without Marilyn. She is truly a wonderful person, officiant and I feel now I can say friend, and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

My wife and I decided on short notice that we were ready to get married. After searching and searching for someone to marry us I came across " With this Kiss I Thee Wed LLC" the reviews were great, so I decided to send an email asking a few questions. A VERY short time later I received an email back from Marilyn answering all of my questions. I knew after that one e-mail that she was the person I wanted to marry us. Marilyn walked my wife and I through every step of our wedding and made our wedding day PERFECT and you ready for this?STRESS FREE!!! We couldn't of asked for anything more! I met Marylin on my Wedding day for the first time and we both had a smile ear to ear, but you could see in her eyes she truly loves what she does. Marylin you made our day special more than you even know, and for that you will forever be a part of our lives!! For everyone reading this review, save yourself all the trouble of looking for the perfect Officiant , she is right here!! " With this Kiss I Thee Wed LLC" If I could i would give you a million stars!

Marilyn was amazing to work with!! She was extremely responsive and fun to work with. She gave so many great options for us to choose from when writing our ceremony. All the guests commented on what a unique, personal and beautiful ceremony it was!

Marilyn's husband, John, was the one to actually officiate our wedding the day of since Marilyn was already booked. John was just as wonderful!! He was professional and knew exactly what we had discussed with Marilyn. He delivered the ceremony beautifully!

I highly recommend Marilyn and John!

When we met Marilyn we knew she would be perfect for us. We were looking for someone knowledgeable and professional that would help shape our ceremony to truly represent us- and Marilyn more than accomplished that. We got married on the beach, so we were looking for someone who had experience performing beach ceremonies. She not only performs beach ceremonies but includes a sand ceremony that ties in our parents as our foundation, which we loved. She was easy to work with via email and accepting of word changes to make the ceremony reflect our personalities. She is also prepared and efficient in the lead-up, during and after the ceremony- filing the paperwork directly after. My family and now husband had nothing but good things to say about her prior to the ceremony- efficient, professional, and kind hearted. Despite having just met us, Marilyn actually cares about the marriages she presides over. You won't regret having Marilyn share your special day with you.

We were very pleased with the service, attention, work, flexibility and detailed dedication to our ceremony by Marylin. She gave us an absolute peace of mind and total confidence that everything was going to be just fine.
The ceremony was suited to our needs and it was very romantic as we expected. Thank you Marylin for making our day the most special and beautiful one.

I am so happy we chose Marilyn D'Auria as our officiant! From the first email to the very last she makes you feel like you have known her for years! She was very detailed and helpful with all of the planning and has many ceremony options. The day of our wedding she was early and well prepared. Marilyn conducted a beautiful and well spoken ceremony. I wouldn't have changed anything. Thank you again Marilyn for making our day so special. Bobby & Melissa.

I would highly recommend Marilyn to perform any wedding. She was a wonderful officiant and very easy to keep in touch with, and helpful through the whole process. The ceremony she wrote was beautiful and we received so many compliments about how personal it was. She made our wedding day so special!

Marilyn was very accommodating with the date and time. We were very happy with the ceremony and that we could customize the ceremony to represent us. We are located in WNY and Marilyn in So. NJ. We found Marilyn very easy to work with over the internet and in person.

We absolutely loved Marilyn! We highly suggest her! From the day we confirmed our wedding date with her, till even after we got married, she was there to guide us every step of the way. She sent us step by step instructions on what to do prior to the wedding, from obtaining our marriage license to the wedding rehearsal. After the wedding, she sent us information on obtaining our marriage certificate and changing the last name. She was so quick to respond anytime I sent her an email, and was more than happy to help. She made sure she perfected the ceremony speech to exactly how we wanted it. Not to mention, she perfected it a week after we confirmed our wedding date with her, making it one less thing to stress about for the wedding! She was great, we would highly recommend her to anyone on their special day!

I would highly recommend Marilyn, she was great. She is so professional, efficient and responsive to all of my questions. She gave us many different ceremony options which allowed us to create the perfect wedding ceremony for us. She even took the time to meet with us in person at our request prior to our wedding. We received many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the ceremony was. Our paperwork was filed immediately and Marilyn kept in touch with us every step of the way. I can't thank you enough Marilyn, for making our day perfect!!

Marilyn was the absolute best! We love her! After spending months looking for the right officiant, we stumbled across her and she made a huge impression right off the bat. She was super professional, always kept us in the loop and was very accommodating to our needs. Our ceremony was written especially for us by her and that was nice. Your wedding will truly be your own. On the day of our wedding we were running late and in all the chaos, Marilyn jumped right in helping with whatever she could to help us get set up. She will give you all the correct information for getting your marriage license and changing your name. She was awesome and even had my dad crying at the ceremony. She had another wedding after ours and even with us running late she didn't rush us or speed through our ceremony. You won't be disappointed if you work with her. She made the most important part of our day (the ceremony) so special. Thank you Marilyn!!!

We were very nervous about eloping. With not much direction to go I contacted Marilyn. She answered my first email within 10 minutes and we continued to keep in contact every step of the way. I would recommend this service and Marilyn to anyone. Even if your not sure how to go about getting married like I was, she will be very patient with you and walk you through every step. From getting our out of state marriage license to her writing a very personal beautiful ceremony she was wonderful!!!!! I would give 10 stars if I could.

Marilyn was everything we needed and expected from an officiant for our wedding. She was very helpful along the way and always stayed in contact with us via email. And she would (professionally) remind us of things we had to do and when, which was beneficial given all the things you need to take care of as the wedding date approaches. The day of the wedding, Marilyn arrived early to make sure everything was in order. And most important, she did an excellent job marrying us. Not too much, not too little - she was just right. Thanks Marilyn!

Marilyn was always extremely quick about getting back to us about every question we had, and there were a lot of them. My wife and I (it feels good to say that now) really had no idea what we were doing and figured it out as we went along with help from Marilyn. We live about an hour away from her and where we had our ceremony in Smithville, NJ and never physically met her before the ceremony, but it did not matter at all. We ran into a little trouble before the ceremony because we could not find the marriage license until 5 minutes before the ceremony started but she did not seem to care (sorry Marilyn). My wife and I would definetly recomend her to anyone.

Marilyn did a wonderful job prepping with us, especially since we were very short notice & also getting married right one the heels of Hurricane Sandy! She was cooperative, inventive, & economical! Id recommend using her especially for a non traditional ceremony as she is totally attentive to your ideas & requests. Wouldn't have changed a thing, except maybe the storm being a little less aggressive. So many things could have interfered, but it went exactly like I wanted it, maybe a little better :)

She was very prompt when arriving to our venue and provided us with easy to follow details in preparation before and after the wedding. I would highly recommend Marilyn and her beautiful services! Thank you Marilyn!

It was such a pleasure working with her and even though we did not meet before our actual wedding I was not worried, as she responded to emails right away and gave us all the info we needed. She has a wealth of knowledge and has such a great personality and we loved that she made our cermoney exactly as we wanted it.

Marylin was an amazing asset to our wedding, I felt like our ceremony was very much our own just like we wanted. We gave Marylin a brief background of our relationship and she put it into beautiful words for us to make our ceremony that much more beautiful. She made planning our ceremony out so enjoyable and simple just like we had hoped for. We can NEVER thank you enough! xoxo

My wedding was so perfect, thanks to Marilyn. Words can not express how happy I was with the service provided by With This Kiss I Thee Wed. From the very begining, she asked all the right questions, helped guide me through the process and wrote the most beautiful and personal ceremony. After the question and selection process, Marilyn sent me our ceremony in writting. I would cry each time I read it. I thought it was just so personal to me that it made me cry but after our ceremony I had so many attendees tell me that it made them cry as well. It was just beautiful and so many personal touches. I am still receiving compliments on the vows. I would highly reccomend Marilyn and With This Kiss I Thee Wed to anyone planning a wedding. She makes it easy, always responds and will help you through the process, even after the ceremony is over to help guide you through the name change process, if you choose to. Oh, I almost forgot to mention that not only was her service beautiful, but her husband took the best photo at our ceremony!!! I just love it!!

Marilyn was such a pleasure. Working with her made our lives so much easier. She was willing to talk if we wanted to or willing to do everything via email if that was our preference. She responded to our emails very quickly and was very helpful and flexible with the ceremony she put together for us. She did a great job in making our ceremony perfect for us!

I wish I could give Marilyn more than 5 out of 5 stars because she truly deserves it. My husband and I went in to planning this wedding as our own wedding planners and really didn't have any idea on what to do. We decided to first find someone to marry us. I found Marilyn's page and sent her an email. From the very first reply (which is also a HUGE plus- she always answers almost right away. Incredible.) I knew she would be the one to marry us and I'm so glad we found her to do so. Marilyn is more than a wedding officiant. She cares and you really can tell she does. She is SO helpful in answering questions and she goes above and beyond her call of duty; for example (off the top of my head but I'm sure there is much more)- she guided us on gettin the license before hand, we weren't having a formal rehearsal but did have a dinner and she gave us a paper form of rehearsal to review at dinner with our wedding party, she helped me with name changing information and after the wedding day she contacted the municipality where we got married for us to inquire about us getting our certified copy of our marriage certificate. As stated, there was probably so much more she helped me with! Incredible woman. We went in to our wedding day completely confident that we didn't need to worry about the ceremony because we knew she would do an amazing job (Which is a huge relief off our backs on such a big day!) and she did-- people are still saying how beautiful our ceremony was!! I would recommend Marilyn to anyone- even my own family and closest friends!!!!

We would highly recommend Marilyn to any couples looking for a wedding officiant. Her responsiveness and professionalism was second to none. Every email and question we had was answered thoroughly and right away. The wording of our ceremony was beautiful and she presented it perfectly. We received so many compliments about how nice our ceremony was. She even went out of her way and came to our house the day before our wedding to handle the witness portion of our marriage application. You could really tell that she enjoys her job and loves what she does. In today's day and age that is pretty rare!

From the very beginning of our correspondence, Marilyn was fantastic! I had reached out to various officiants searching for someone in the Somers Point area who wasn't too expensive or too esoteric; My husband and I were looking for someone to do a low-key ceremony that wasn't too schmoopy or too God-centric. Marilyn responded to my email with warmth and genuine excitement for our impending nuptials and I instantly trusted her, knowing she'd be a perfect fit. She offers a variety of ceremonies and Chris and I found one that was ideal for our simple needs. Leading up to the big day, Marilyn answered any and all of my questions quickly and with a nurturing reassurance that all would work out perfectly and it did. She listened to all my requests to tweak the ceremony here and there; she was most accommodating and encouraging. And when the day arrived, she honestly felt like family with her excitement and warm, calming nature. Our wedding day was beautiful and I can't imagine it going any more perfectly with a different officiant.

In short, Marilyn is amazing! Thanks, Marilyn, for helping create a day my husband and I will cherish for the rest of our lives.

We couldn't have asked for a better more customized ceremony than what Marilyn provided for us. She was quick to respond after are initial contact, she helped us build the perfect customized ceremony for us and we couldn't have been happier with her service and professionalism from start to finish. We received countless comments after our wedding as to how lovely the ceremony was and we owe that to Marilyn. We couldn't recommend her enough.

Marilyn was wonserful in helping organise this renewal event for us, my wife was unaware that I was organising this and Marilyn provided much needed help in making sure that everything was running smoothly. She also has a winderful hand in writing the renewal texts.
I would gladly recommend Marilyn to whoever is looking for an original ceremony!!
I would do it all over again!!

We love love love Marilyn! She is not only very professional, flexible with your needs, but she is a total sweetheart! She made our wedding ceremony very personal, and it would not have been the same without her there. Our sand ceremony that we chose was beautiful. She brought a beautiful glass vase and 3 beautiful seashells to represent each one of us (husband, wife and daughter) , and what a wonderful keepsake it is! Marilyn was very responsive, helpful and patient with us! We ABSOLUTELY recommend Marilyn to be your officiant at your wedding!!!!! I hope you choose her as you will not be disappointed!!!!

We were so happy that we chose Marilyn for our wedding! The ceremony she wrote for us was beautiful and very personalized! Marilyn pays close attention to every detail in the ceremony. She even emailed me several times to make sure she had the right pronunciations of names! When I contacted Marilyn for our date, she was already booked. So instead, her associate John performed our wedding. DON'T let this deter you from booking her! John did a FABULOUS job!!!!!! Thanks Marilyn and John for making our day special!!!

Perfection! That's all I can say! We first saw Marilyn at a friends wedding and you could feel her positive energy radiating. She truly enjoys what she does and everyone knows it! That's why my fiance and I said that we had to have her marry us! She is so quick to answer any questions and very easy to talk to as well. We chose the handfasting ceremony which suited us perfectly. Not to mention all the options Marilyn had for us to customize our ceremony to match our personalities, even when we weren't sure exactly what we wanted, somehow Marilyn knew. We have received so many complements on our ceremony! I would recommend Marilyn to anyone and everyone who asked! (or didn't ask). ;-)

Marilyn is simply amazing! She is one of the sweetest women I've ever met! As a bride I had my moments were I felt overwhelmed with planning or much too focused on the programs, table seating... Marilyn has a calming way of bringing you back to center and reminding you of the true meaning of a wedding. She offers genuine interest, support, and helpful advice. Like the time she encouraged me while writing my vows, "If you keep them simple and speak from the heart they will be perfect,"she reassured me. She returns your emails and answers all questions in an unbelievably timely fashion! As for the ceremony itself, we couldn't have asked for better! With her help we planned a ceremony that was personalized to meet our special needs or wants. It was everything we had hoped for and more! I highly recommend 'With this Kiss I Thee Wed' for your own wedding day!
