Introduction
A wedding is such a special event and should be treated as such. Curating special and tailored wedding experiences brings me so much joy. Your wedding is your day and I am there to guide you to bring your vision to life. Whether it's a small intimate wedding or a grand affair, religious, non-religious, cultural or just simply quirky and fun, I enjoy bringing your hopes into reality.
Few things to keep in mind as you consider reaching out as I am charged for each initial message.
1. Cost for the ceremony is calculated based on your needs and desires. There is no flat cost as each ceremony is unique
2. I only officiate in English
3. I do not provide witnesses
4. I am only licensed to officiate in Minnesota
Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to curating your ceremony.

Mary was amazing! We needed an officiant last minute, and Mary was more than glad to help us! She worked with us to create a beautiful ceremony that still felt authentic even with the little time we knew each other. She was caring about our time and really made sure we got wanted. She even gave us a gift! Mary was a phenomenal officiant! Highly recommended.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Mary from Joyful Weddings by Mary! From start to finish, Mary was the epitome of professionalism, warmth, and joy. She brought so much heart and soul into our ceremony, making it feel incredibly personal and meaningful. Her genuine passion for what she does truly shines through, and it made our wedding day that much more special.
Mary's guidance throughout the planning process was invaluable, and on the big day, her calm and joyful presence made us feel at ease. She crafted a ceremony that perfectly captured our love story and values, bringing both tears and laughter to our guests. It was truly a heartfelt experience that we will cherish forever.
We are so grateful to have had Mary as our officiant, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, professional, and joyful presence to officiate their wedding. Thank you, Mary, for making our day unforgettable!
Sincerely,

We loved how personable Mary was throughout our experience. She was willing and available to work with us despite it being short notice! We appreciated the collaborative process in curating our ceremony! She was open when we had feedback and requests with the ceremony script! We loved how prepared she was with questions about our love story and how she incorporated that into the ceremony! She made sure to keep within the time constraints of the ceremony. Her personality and process made us feel supported and she cared about us as a couple! Overall, she gave us a great experience and we would recommend you to book with her too!
