    Spiritual not religious ceremony - highly recommend!!

    Marsha did our spiritual not religious ceremony. It was spectacular. She allowed us to select our own spiritual quotes. There is a lot of flexibility. Her ceremony flowed smoothly and we felt very comfortable with her. She did a great job. Highly recommend!

    Amazing Officiant!

    We were so lucky to get to work with Marsha! From our first phone call to the day of our wedding, we felt that Marsha understood who we are as a couple. She listened attentively and worked thoughtfully to help us create a wedding ceremony that honored our relationship and our individuality. She made our day so special!

    The perfect wedding ceremony

    My husband and I just got married on Saturday, and Marsha was the PERFECT officiant for our ceremony for numerous reasons. Well before the big day, we had a call with Marsha and she intently listened to our love story down to every detail. She was kind, invested, and extremely knowledgeable, guiding us every step of the way on what the ceremony would look like. She even offered up her services if we needed any coaching with our vows! On the day of the ceremony, we felt very comfortable knowing that we were in good hands. She is spiritual and has a great sense of humor. She also has an extremely calming presence, which is SO important for a couple about to profess they love to one another in front of a massive audience! Marsha is amazing at what she does, and she does it with grace, confidence, and love. I would recommend her to everyone! Thank you Marsha for making our big day so incredibly special! 🙏🏻

    Elopement in our backyard

    My husband and I decided to elope within the week with little thought to any wedding preparations. To say that we were blessed to find that Marsha was available to officiate our wedding is an understatement. She was a joy to work with before, during and after the ceremony. She brought a lot of calmness to an otherwise nerve-racking day. She understood and anticipated what we did not know we needed. What would have been a semi-regular event became a unique, thoughtful, fun ceremony full of love and joy. We will cherish it always.

    Our wedding experience was complete with Marsha at the helm.

    Marsha is an intuitive brilliant person. As soon as we met her we knew she was the perfect officiant to lead our wedding. Marsha was thorough and thoughtful of the intricacies for our personal wedding experience. We were at ease knowing she was guiding our celebration. Thank you Marsha. - Michael & Laura

    Marsha - We are so thankful you were our officiant!

    When you meet Marsha, you immediately feel like she sees and understands you with no judgement or scrutiny. My [now] husband and I truly felt like Marsha took the time to get to know us and to understand our relationship. We felt comfortable going to her for advice and truly felt like we had control over our ceremony. She produced a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony. I strongly recommend Marsha to any couple that wants a custom and personal ceremony.

    Marsha was fantastic!

    Our guests couldn't stop talking about Marsha! We booked her because our planners had heard of her. She called us a couple times to organize the ceremony elements, but we had never actually met until the wedding. SHE was amazing! We wrote our story on how we met but the way she told it--wow! She really brought it to life. Thank you for everything Marsha! We really loved having you there.

    Amazing Officiant

    Marsha brought a presence of love, wisdom, and calm to our wedding ceremony. A week before our wedding, our venue cancelled on us, throwing everything into chaos, but after a few days of panic, the moment Marsha stepped into the room for our rehearsal we and our families all breathed a big sigh of relief. That was the moment we understood that we'd have an amazing wedding. She helped us create the unique ceremony we wanted by offering her expert opinions, but ultimately leaving the choices up to us. Honestly, that alone was in stark contrast to most wedding vendors, parents, basically anyone who was involved in our wedding. A lot of vendors have one way to do weddings, and make it difficult to do it any other way. Marsha was not like that at all. We got tons of compliments on our ceremony and our officiant. Highly recommend!

    Amazing experience!

    Marsha was an incredible officiant and made our day so special. From the moment we saw her on the internet, we knew she was the one to do our wedding. After meeting her we were even more convinced. She wrote a wedding just for us and it was so personal, everyone after the ceremony was telling us how unique the words were that were spoken. She listened to us and we feel she really got to the core of who we are as individuals and as a couple. Highly recommended!

    Amazing. Wouldn't have changed a thing

    Marsha was amazing! You couldn't ask for a more sincere, more honest, passionate about what she does person to officiate your wedding. We are from Ohio and we wanted to have a beach ceremony. We decided on Point Dume and had multiple phone conversations with her. Marsha talked to us and gave us options about how the ceremony could go and made us very very comfortable. She gave us options and recommended a sand ceremony which we loved. She also recommended that we write our own vows and we are glad we did. We both felt like she took the time to get to know us. Highly recommend Marsha

    Marsha, Marsha, Marsha

    Marsha is amazing!!! She is very knowledgeable responsive, professional, flexible and well-spoken. From the first time she invited my fiance and I over for tea, we knew we wanted her to officiate our wedding. Marsha tailored her package to fit our ceremony perfectly. Our guests have been raving about Marsha's poise, sense of humor, and attention to detail that made our ceremony personal and truly amazing. We are forever grateful!

    Beautiful, Personal and Intimate ceremony

    Marsha was meticulous in her preparation for our wedding ceremony. It was completely custom, as we wanted no reference to religion nor any spiritual language. Marsha delivered as promised. She was prompt in her responses and punctual. We are very happy with her services and the way she conducted our small private ceremony. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to host a beautiful ceremony.

    Highly recommended!

    We are so thrilled that we chose Marsha to officiate our wedding. Her attention to detail and calming presence helped us both relax when we were nervous. She took the time to meet with us before the ceremony to get to know us both and to understand our vision for our ceremony. She spoke clearly so that all our guests could hear her and took her time with the vows so we wouldn't stumble. She also recommended we toast each other during the ceremony with our favorite scotch and so we did! She knew us so well!
    We highly recommend Marsha for your upcoming ceremony!

    Everything came together perfectly! Everyone said it was one of the most beautiful ceremonies they've been to. Marsha made everything comfortable for the bride and groom! Couldn't of asked for a better day or ceremony!

    Marsha curated the most beautiful ceremony for us and made everything so easy!

    We found Marsha online and immediately contacted her to see if she was available to officiate our wedding. She quickly responded and told us she was available, and we scheduled a phone call to talk to her before we moved forward with booking her. After our short phone call, we knew she was perfect for our special day. We booked with her and she sent over readings, examples of ceremonies, etc. for us to look over to get ideas on what we'd like for our own ceremony.
    About a month before our wedding, we touched base again and finalized the details to our ceremony. We decided on a reading, family acknowledgement, our story, and our own personal vows (which Marsha encouraged).
    Our ceremony was so personal, sweet, and so us. She has the most calming and soothing voice, and curated such a beautiful, sentimental ceremony for us. Our family and friends said it was so beautiful; they laughed, they cried, and said it really showed our personalities.
    I can't say enough good things about Marsha. She made the process so easy and even helped us mail our marriage license in, so that we don't need to worry about that part.
    Highly recommend her for anyone's wedding ceremony!

    Our Keepsake Ceremony

    My husband and I were so thankful to have found Marsha during our search for an officiant for our wedding. She made the entire process so easy and comfortable from the moment we met her until the day of our wedding. She took the time to answer our questions, stay in communication with us, and create a personalized service that was meaningful and unique to us. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant who is willing to go above and beyond to create the ceremony you've envisioned.

    Marsha is the best!

    I could not have been happier with Marsha. She was so on top of everything. She made a timeline, which made everything easier to do especially as the big day drew near. Everyone at our wedding loved her. People thought she was a family friend because of her passion during the ceremony. We will always be grateful that she was a part of our wedding!

    Beautiful Ceremony Performed by Marsha

    Marsha was so sweet and so easy to work with. We felt that she genuinely cared to provide a truly special ceremony for us. We had some technical difficulties with the microphone we provided for her, but she carried on seamlessly without it. We were unsure about any rituals we wanted, so she suggested doing a “Blessing of the Hands.” The ceremony was exactly what we asked for, and we are so happy we decided to work with her.

    She was very easy to work with, extremely willing to customize a ceremony that is perfect for you!

    Marsha was tolerant of my wedding anxiety and she went out of her way to soothe me and assure me everything would work out great. She created a beautiful ceremony that reflected us as individuals and a couple. She incorporated my spiritual beliefs into the ceremony in a way that was not offensive to guests with different beliefs. After the ceremony, I had numerous guests approach me to tell me how beautiful it was and particularly what a beautiful job Marsha did. We were extremely happy

    The most beautiful, romantic ceremony with Marsha

    Hiring Marsha was a no brainer. The moment we spoke with her on the phone, we knew she could give us the romantic ceremony we were looking for. We aren't highly religious so we wanted something that was sweet and customized just for us. Marsha incorporated beautiful poetry and a lovely hand fasting that was very modern and special to us. She also transitioned well when my godfather wanted to recite a few words. I had so many people tell us that was one of the best ceremonies they've seen.
