Couldn’t have asked for a better officiant

If I had more stars to give, I would. Mary recited our love story better than I ever imagined. Our ceremony was the perfect blend of romantic, heart warming, and spiritual. Each conversation with her leading up to our wedding was thorough and organized. We highly recommend Mary for your wedding ceremony!

Fantastic !

We absolutely loved Maria's help with our signing! She noticed some errors on our marriage license beforehand, so we had a chance to sort things out at the civic centre. She played a huge part in making our signing ceremony a success. Highly recommended!

Amazing Mary

She is amazing officiant and very flexible in regards to taking pictures and videos. She is wonderful and understands our needs (timing, fees, requirements, ritual values...) for our special day. She is the best I would say in terms of fees (very affordable compared to others). She takes her time for special speech that she prepared for us (not rushing).

Mary is amazing in every way

Your ceremony script was beautiful and on point. Probably one of the best I’ve ever heard and was super happy that it was our wedding you officiated. Honest I was not expecting that much since it was elopement but you elevated the ceremony and made it extra special. Couldn’t recommend Mary enough.

You NEED to book with Mary!

Mary was an exceptional officiant—kind, accommodating, and truly a joy to work with. She went above and beyond by agreeing to perform our ceremony at our favorite park, a special place where our love story began.

Despite the multiple changes we made to finalize the ceremony location, Mary remained patient and reminded us that it was our day. Her warmth and professionalism shone through, and she even followed up with us on our marriage certificate. Mary is not only a great speaker but also a genuinely thoughtful person. We highly recommend her!

Owner

Hi I"m Mary, owner of Married by Mary. I have worked in the wedding industry for over 20 years. It has been my great pleasure and priviledge to work closely with brides and grooms, and I understand that the tiniest of details can make all the difference. Now that I am an officiant I bring all that knowledge and experience to every ceremony.

Want to know more about me?

I am the mother of three beautiful daughters, the oldest of which just recently got married. In addition to my human children I am also the proud mom of two cuddly fur babies. I love taking long walks by the water with my dogs, sitting on patios with good friends, cooking and line dancing. Most of all I love to spend time with my familly.
