About
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 absolutely amazing! I highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding officiant. Not only was she very professional, but she also went above and beyond to ensure our ceremony was seamless. She added the perfect level of energy and charisma. Our guests were so impressed by the ceremony and said it felt like she had known us for years. Thank you, Mary! We really appreciate everything you’ve done!

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.

Mary was wonderful. She told our story from the beginning. She was very engaging and she captivated the whole audience. I couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. My whole family just raved about her!!! And she looked amazing! I wish I had something else to hire her for… lol, but seriously. You could not go wrong hiring Mary. She is simply AMAZING!!!
