Mary made our day so incredible!

Originally I had intended on having my godmother officiate our ceremony, Mary offered a very unique package where she would still be on site to conduct the legal portion but would allow a family member to read the ceremony script which felt so special! Unfortunately, my godmother passed unexpectedly a few weeks before our wedding. I still wanted to personalize the ceremony in her honour and Mary allowed me to do just that and did the full ceremony for us. I couldn’t have asked for a more special day. Thanks Mary! 🤍

Perfect Officiant!

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding officiant! From our very first phone call, she made us feel comfortable, and created a ceremony that felt so personal and meaningful. She was warm, professional, organized, and helped make the entire process stress free.

On our wedding day, she delivered the ceremony beautifully. It was heartfelt, engaging, and so many of our guests commented on how wonderful she was and how much they loved the ceremony.

We are so grateful for the care and attention she put into making our day so special. We would recommend her to any couple looking for an officiant who is kind, professional, and truly passionate about what she does.

Thank you for helping make our wedding day so unforgettable!

Heartfelt, Personal and Absolutely Perfect

Having Mary as our wedding officiant was truly one of the most meaningful parts of our day. She has known us since we were little, which made the experience feel incredibly personal and special from the very beginning.
She took the time to thoughtfully craft and tell our love story in a way that felt authentic, heartfelt, and uniquely us. Her warmth, patience, and genuine care shone through every step of the process, making us feel completely at ease.
On the day of the wedding, she spoke with such grace and sincerity that there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. Her presence brought a sense of calm and joy to the ceremony that we will never forget.
It was an absolute honour to have someone who knows us so well guide us into this next chapter of our lives. We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect person to marry us.

So much love for Mary!!

Sweetest lady to officiate!

Mary was one of our best decisions for the day. Her speech was beautifully written- sweet and crisp. Her calm nature and humour helped us with our nerves and would 100% recommend her services to everyone we know! Thank you Mary!

Owner

Hi I"m Mary, owner of Married by Mary. I have worked in the wedding industry for over 20 years. It has been my great pleasure and priviledge to work closely with brides and grooms, and I understand that the tiniest of details can make all the difference. Now that I am an officiant I bring all that knowledge and experience to every ceremony.

Want to know more about me?

I am the mother of three beautiful daughters, the oldest of which just recently got married. In addition to my human children I am also the proud mom of two cuddly fur babies. I love taking long walks by the water with my dogs, sitting on patios with good friends, cooking and line dancing. Most of all I love to spend time with my familly.
