We heard about Marianne with Moments in Time through a friend who was recently married and only had great things to say.
We reached out and met with Marianne first over video call - she was very kind and easy to talk to! Important when it comes to getting to know your officiant for your special wedding day. We met a few more times over video and exchanged many e-mails. She had my now husband and myself fill out questionnaires about each other to get to know us better. I feel like she really got down to the nitty gritty of our relationship!
Fast forward to our wedding day and we are blown away with how unique, personalized, and special our wedding ceremony was because of Marianne. She constructed a beautiful ceremony intertwined with all of my partner's and my fondest memories, stories, jokes, and laughs. Our family and friends still talk about what a perfect ceremony this was. It was truly unforgettable and by far a superior part of our wedding day.
We are so thankful Marianne travelled to us to be a part of our day, she truly helped make it as special as it could be. We would highly recommend her services to anyone!

Absolutely Amazing!
Marianne was truly amazing! From the moment we had our first call with her I knew I had to have her officiate our wedding! She went above and beyond planning everything and responded in a timely matter. She got to know everything about us and was able to incorporate it into our day! We wanted our ceremony to be fun, relaxing and full of love and laughter and she nailed each one of those! When we finally met in person at the rehearsal it was as if we’d known her forever! She tailed our ceremony and was extremely detail oriented to make sure everything look seamless! Our parents were over the moon with her, Our wedding party and guests are still talking about our ceremony!
Thank you Marianne for everything, you made our day that much for memorable!

Absolutely phenomenal!
There is so much I can say about Marrianne! Marianne is kind, funny, down to earth and very personable! As soon as we had our interview with her, we knew we had to hire her. The ceremony she created for us was beyond our expectations and was perfect for us. Everyone who attended our wedding couldn't stop commenting on how beautiful and unique the ceremony was. Marrianne truly loves her job and wants it to be perfect for the couple she is working with. Thank you Marrianne for everything! ♡

Best choice i ever made
I am so happy I came across Marianne - We had decided last minute that we were going to do a civil ceremony and we needed someone urgently. I had e-mailed a lot of officiants, but NO ONE compared to Marianne, even just speaking to her on the phone. She makes everything so personal and writes out HER OWN SCRIPT based on what she gets to know about you as a couple, she asks questions and wants to understand you, the ceremony was beyond beautiful thanks to her. We had compliments wondering if she was a friend of the family, although I had only met her 2 weeks prior to the wedding. I would recommend her to you if you are having a wedding, I can guarantee you she will make everything come together.

Delightful
We are so happy we found Marianne de Bretan to be our officiant. She provided us with a ceremony that we were thrilled with. She is an absolute professional in all ways. Many of our guests have commented on what a beautiful ceremony it was. Hopefully we will not require here marital officiant service again lol but we would definitely recommend her. She is a lovely lady.

She's a hero for helping us accomplish a wedding like no other!
Marianne is the best Officiant we could have ever asked for!
We got tired of waiting for all the lockdown restrictions to ease up and opted in for a low-key non-traditional civil ceremony at a park. Just as we had that spontaneous idea, we made a post on WeddingWire and she got back to us in literally an hour on a Sunday evening! And somehow this brave woman went along with our plans to make this event happen within a week!
With such short notice and given the challenging circumstances, we did not expect much from this occasion, but Marianne insisted that we must make this day fun and special. Thanks to her involved guidance and joyful optimism we came up with a solid plan, and now we have so many exciting memories to look back on! We had it all - a flower girl, a ring bearer, a beautiful cake, floral decorations, personal speeches, lunch, and outdoor activities! Our families loved it - and no one ever expected it to be this good!
Most importantly, Marianne makes sure to get to know her couples personally. She asked us some questions about our story and our lives, and in a week it felt as if she has known us for years. Her ceremony was very personal and accurate, and that was precious to our families.
We were so blessed to have Marianne take part in our special day - she truly made us have the best day of our lives and she was such a great support throughout the whole time.

Personable, warm, flexible, went the extra mile
Can’t recommend Marianne strongly enough. We approached her seeking a non-traditional ceremony including a handfasting. She was so communicative with us about choosing the perfect passages for each part of our ceremony. She allowed us to be as specific about the minutiae as we liked and had no reservations about making changes to the script. She had never done hand fasting before so we were pleased to see she did so much research and practice to make it perfect. She met with us in a series of zoom calls leading up to the big day to plan details and get to know us. Marianne is very responsive to messages.
All the work we did together paid off. The rehearsal made us feel so confident in what we were doing. She worked with us to incorporate every guest of our small ceremony into the event (such as my stepmother holding the rings and my stepbrother holding the handfasting cord).
The ceremony was so emotional and special. We live-streamed due to Covid and almost everybody with the link said the ceremony made them cry! Many people have said it was the most beautiful ceremony they have ever seen. Marianne was dressed beautifully for the ceremony and was mindful of things like stepping aside for photographs of the first kiss.
What Marianne brings to the table is a very personal touch. We felt she was very invested in our love story.
Following the wedding Marianne handled paperwork for us and made clear what our next steps were - one less thing for us to worry about.
Investing in including Marianne in our wedding team was one of the best decisions we made in our planning! Cannot imagine having worked with anybody else. I’m a very type-a, anxious bride, and she always made me feel important and never like a burden.

Absolutely Incredible Experience
Brides, please look NO further! Marianne was an incredible addition to our wedding team. From the first meeting, planning, rehearsal and day-of, Marianne exudes kindness and professionalism. She walked us through the process of creating her script and our vows and guiding us along the way with revisions and personal touches that were important to my (now) husband and I. Marianne understood our wishes and created a ceremony that best reflected us inside and out. With each meeting via phone, zoom and in-person she came prepared with questions and opportunities for great conversation to allow herself to get to know us as a couple and individually. Planning through the pandemic came with rapid changes and Marianne remained flexible and offered unwavering support to us. Within moments, she responded to emails or answered the phone to lend a helping hand. Our guests were engaged from start to finish and still comment on how perfectly she fit with us.
I could not recommend Marianne enough!
My 34 years as a Registered Nurse has prepared me for my next career. I was a sought after speaker for conventions and educational events so speaking in front of crowds has become second nature to me. I am also a hopeless - or should I say- hopeful, romantic and I love weddings! I get energized by meeting new people, especially those that are in love!
My philosophy:
1. To create and deliver an intimate and personal ceremony
Today, more than at any other time in wedding planning history, there are countless choices and options for your ceremony. In keeping with this reality, I offer many ceremony choices or you can provide me with something you like. It is important that you, the couple, make these choices. This allows you the greatest level of control in the actual content spoken at your ceremony, and therefore the greatest level of comfort. I firmly believe that the words I say that are scripted belong to you. You always have final say. This allows for each ceremony to be personal and intimate.
2. To create and deliver a ceremony with great passion:
Great ceremonies are great because of passion. Passion is reflected in communication skills, in a desire for excellence, and in a belief in the importance and value of great relationships. I love giving the best of myself to couples who are passionate about my role in their ceremony, and who are also committed to having a great connection.
3. To create and deliver a ceremony with the utmost professionalism:
I believe in professionalism at every level. From dress and deportment to communication, to presentation, to resources offered, to collaboration with other wedding service providers.
I believe this is one of the most important days of your life and so it is paramount to me that everything, especially the ceremony and the vows you will make, be a reflection of the couple you are.
If you have family members, i.e. children, that you want to be a part of your ceremony, we can work them in for a special part.
And if yours is a love that has lasted the test of time, I am available to help you renew your vows.
I am a graduate of the Unboring Wedding Academy and will work with you to make a memorable ceremony, however you see fit.
