Independent Wedding Officiant & Marriage Celebrant
You're Getting Married!
CONGRATS!!!
And you've decided to hire a professional Wedding Officiant...
Hooray!
(your friends and uncles just let out a collective sigh of relief)
I can help.
I've been tying knots since 2005 and unique weddings are my specialty.
I'm proud to offer innovative and modern options for sentimental couples.
Every ceremony is an original - just like the two of you.
It's been said that I have more tricks up my sleeve than Houdini. :) I do.
As an active wedding officiant for 15+ years, I have developed a style all my own - original services that are warm and relaxed with a touch of whimsy. I'm known for my creative writing skills, my inclusive sense of humor, and my knack for storytelling.
Bonus: I'm a bookworm/google ninja, and I love learning all there is to know about wedding customs and traditions. I have extensive archives (and endless ideas) to showcase your interests and tell your stories.

Submitting this form will put your date on a "no-obligation courtesy hold" in my calendar (if I'm available) until we have time to discuss your ceremony. If you're visiting from one of the big wedding planning sites - I recommend this contact form to avoid getting lost in the email matrix. I promise not to hound you, and my auto-reply meme might make you smile. :)

The Booking/Payment Process
(AKA: "So... how does this work anyway?")
-
Contact me if you think you'd like to book. I'll check my calendar and get back to you with availability.
-
We'll chat in one form or another and discuss specifics so I can email you a no-obligation quote.
-
View quote. Ask lots of questions. Read my reviews. Consult your granny and your horoscope.
-
Accept quote. Review and sign contract. Pay 50% retainer. (all three in one email)
-
We're booked and can start planning. Yay!
-
I'll create your ceremony based on our conversations and your answers to my (easy and kinda fun) questionnaires. Choose your readings here.
-
You'll need a marriage license if you want it to be legal.
-
Your remaining balance is due 7 days before your wedding - I'll email you a final invoice a month or so before it's due.
-
On your wedding day: I will show up early and stay as long as I'm useful. My goal is to keep you calm, keep you smiling, and get you hitched in style. After the license is signed (usually right after the ceremony) I will squirrel it away until I can file it with the county clerk. After that, I will disappear into the shadows and leave you to your party. (I do not stay for dinner, FWIW)

That's it! You've been Married by Maree.
