Hire Rev. Marj!

Rev. Marj was truly the most incredible and perfect ceremony officiant, better than we could have dreamed of. My now husband and I were looking for someone who could bring in faithful elements to our ceremony while still making it modern and tailored to us as a couple. And that's exactly what we got with Rev. Marj. From the moment we met her, we knew she was perfect for the job. We clicked immediately - she was funny, heartfelt, personable, and extremely knowledgable. I can't tell you how many people at our wedding came up to us and said it was one of the best and most authentic wedding ceremonies they'd ever seen! Marj took everything we told her and crafted a ceremony that represented our love and life perfectly. We can't imagine what our special day would have been like without her! I can't recommend her enough!!

If you want someone who will conduct your ceremony as a reflection of who you are as a couple, Rev. Marjorie Smith is the one for you! She took the time to meet with us and get to know us, how we met, and our personalities. She guided us through how we wanted the ceremony conducted (somewhat spiritually). She has a wonderful sense of humor which had my husband, me, and our guests chuckling during the ceremony. Her face lights up with a big smile, which makes everyone feel she is very approachable. It was also nice to see that the various vendors I chose for my wedding knew each other and their reputations.

Literally, we could have not asked for a better officiant. She was humorous where needed and helpful and soothing. I am a total control freak, and she tooks the reigns were needed too.
