Beautiful ceremony

Mary was beyond what we could’ve expected for an officiant. She was kind and thorough with all her questions leading up to the ceremony. We requested that the ceremony be done in Italian and she was very confident in performing the ceremony in Italian. She incorporated specific components that were important to us and included them seamlessly into the ceremony. We could not have asked for a better officiant! We are Catholic and she was able to bring in (upon our request) elements of Catholicism to make our ceremony special to us. She has a wonderful personality that truly made us feel that she was a friend celebrating with us as well. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of an officiant.

Mary Made Our Ceremony Perfect!

Absolutely incredible experience with Mary as our wedding officiant! From the very beginning, she was warm, sweet, professional, and truly invested in making our ceremony special. Her presence was calming, her words were meaningful, and she made our wedding feel so intimate and memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant—Mary is simply amazing! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about making their day perfect.

You NEED to book with Mary!

Mary was an exceptional officiant—kind, accommodating, and truly a joy to work with. She went above and beyond by agreeing to perform our ceremony at our favorite park, a special place where our love story began.

Despite the multiple changes we made to finalize the ceremony location, Mary remained patient and reminded us that it was our day. Her warmth and professionalism shone through, and she even followed up with us on our marriage certificate. Mary is not only a great speaker but also a genuinely thoughtful person. We highly recommend her!

Couldn’t have asked for a better officiant

If I had more stars to give, I would. Mary recited our love story better than I ever imagined. Our ceremony was the perfect blend of romantic, heart warming, and spiritual. Each conversation with her leading up to our wedding was thorough and organized. We highly recommend Mary for your wedding ceremony!

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.
