An Unforgettable Ceremony
As a wedding planner, I know how much the right officiant matters, and she is the person I introduce to every one of my clients. Every couple I’ve connected with her has ended up hiring her, and once you meet her, you understand why. I first met her through my work, and she has since become a dear friend. Knowing her both professionally and personally, I can say that the warmth, thoughtfulness, and genuine care you feel when you meet her are simply who she is. She has an incredible gift for creating ceremonies that feel deeply personal. She is creative, flexible, and open to different traditions, beliefs, and ways of celebrating love. She listens to what matters to each couple and helps bring it to life with meaning, heart, and personality. One of the things I hear from wedding guests, time and time again, is that the ceremony was their favorite part of the wedding. Having witnessed her work, I understand why. When it fits the couple’s wishes, she finds thoughtful ways to include guests or family members in the ceremony, creating a sense of connection that makes the moment even more special. Her care also extends to the smallest details. She has even learned portions of other languages so she could deliver parts of a ceremony in a language meaningful to the couple or their families. That willingness to go the extra mile says so much about her. Recommending someone to my clients means putting my own reputation behind them, and I recommend her with complete confidence. She brings so much more than beautiful words to a ceremony, she brings the ability to make people feel seen, included, and celebrated. Any couple would be fortunate to have her as part of their wedding day.

Meaningful, personal, spiritual
The first time we met Mary Jean we knew we had found the right person to marry us. She is lighthearted, warm, fun, and at the same time calm, reassuring, and incredibly professional. Her presence put us completely at ease, and she guided us through every step with kindness and wisdom. She helped us create a ceremony that was heartfelt and uniquely ours. Over the years we have reached out to her during life’s other important moments as well. She has become a true friend. We will always be grateful for the role she played in one of the most meaningful days of our lives in a way that truly reflected who we are.

Magical and memorable ceremony
I have been lucky enough to attend two ceremonies officiated by Mary Jean of A Ceremony of the Heart and she displayed her unique ability to through her signature thoughtful and personable touch. Mary Jean strives to infuse the personality of a couple into the ceremony, and transforms this special moment with her grace and expertise. I highly recommend her services as an officiant who brings every ceremony alive with care and creativity.

We love Mary Jean!
From our first conversation with Mary Jean at A Ceremony of the Heart, we knew we had found the right officiant for our wedding! She was direct and honest about what we needed to think through, but also incredibly warm and wise in how she guided us. We did the pre-marriage counseling with her in addition to the ceremony itself, and every session felt thoughtful and genuine. Mary Jean helped us add personal touches to our vows and ceremony that we never would have come up with on our own, and those details made our day feel truly ours. Her attention to making sure every part of the ceremony was meaningful and intentional showed in everything she did. We have infinite gratitude for Mary Jean and everything she brought to our wedding!!

AMAZING MINISTER!
From our first conversation with MaryJean at A Ceremony of the Heart, we knew we'd found our officiant. She asked questions that seemed small at first, but we quickly realized she was building something bigger—a ceremony that felt uniquely ours. MaryJean stayed in constant touch leading up to the wedding, asking thoughtful details about how we met and our journey together. The result was a ceremony that felt like our closest friend was marrying us off, personal in every way. We've now hired her twice and each time she's impressed us with how much she cares about getting it right. If you want someone who will take the time to really know you and create something special, MaryJean is your person.
