About
Couples hire me because I create ceremonies that feel deeply personal, meaningful, and authentic to who they are — never generic or scripted. With a background in psychology and relationship coaching, I bring a calm, supportive presence while guiding couples through a seamless process from consultation to “I do.” I specialize in non-religious, multicultural, interfaith, second marriage, and custom ceremonies throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island, crafting experiences that are elegant, emotionally intentional, and memorable for both couples and their guests.

Margaret was so incredibly easy to work with! My husband and I were so blessed to have her officiate our wedding. From our first phone call with her to emails to the wedding rehearsal to the “I Do’s,” Margaret was amazing. We cannot thank and praise her enough for her impeccable service. We are forever grateful to her for making our day that much more magical.

I don’t have enough good things to say about Margaret!! She was so incredibly helpful from figuring out marriage license stuff (we eloped from TX!), making sure we were comfortable & happy before hand with the ceremony script, and our actual ceremony was perfect!!!

Margaret was the Officant for our wedding 2 weeks ago. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She took the time to get to know us and our story, and incorporated that into the ceremony which added a great personal touch. Not only was she great at her job but she also helped me keep my cool when everything else in the wedding didn’t go as planned. Felt like i knew her for years when we only met via zoom for the first time like 2 months before our wedding. She was great, funny , and everyone loved her. Truly grateful she was part of our special day

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
A variety of services are offered to meet every budget and situation.
$950-$2,500
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Our typical process for working with a new couple begins with scheduling an initial consultation call or the completion of a ceremony planning questionnaire. We then proceed to reserve the desired wedding date and time by requiring a deposit through a secure link. Next, we review and have the couple sign our terms of agreement. We then work with the couple to create personalized vows and a ceremony script. It's important to note that obtaining a marriage license from the city hall is a legal requirement for the ceremony to be considered official. We will remind our clients of this step and schedule virtual meetings for any final adjustments. On the day of the ceremony, we will perform the ceremony and file the necessary documents with the city/clerk office. We also welcome non-disclosure agreements for our celebrity and high-profile clients.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am an ordained minister with the American Marriage Ministry and has been awarded an honorary doctor of divinity degree from the Universal Life Church. Additionally, she is fully registered and authorized by the Secretary of State's office in Massachusetts to legally perform marriages.
