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.

Such an amazing day and Margaret was perfect for the occasion!! She made us feel comfortable, attended to and we felt like we knew her. Words spoken during and after the ceremony were so sweet and so suitable. Thank you so much for making our wedding day special

Margaret was so great to work with for our wedding. No complaints from us. She was able to accommodate us when we decided not to do a portion of the ceremony the night before, and everything went off without a hitch. I got tons of compliments about the ceremony itself as well! For reference, we had a non-religious ceremony and did not write our own vows.

I can’t recommend Margaret enough. She was responsive and a pleasure to work with. She took the time to get to know us so she could personalize our ceremony and tailored it to fit our style and our requests. She did an amazing job on our wedding day, we received so many compliments and comments from family and friends.
