The Perfect Package

After 2 years of unsuccessfully trying to plan a wedding, I halfway joked to my fiancé about just going to the courthouse. After he agreed, I became uncertain if I really wanted to give up some of the traditional aspects of a wedding. I decided I wanted pictures, flowers, and the beach wedding but I also wanted to give up all of the anxiety and stress of worrying about anything and everything!
I came across the Coastal Pointe website and found the Micro Wedding Ceremony Package... officiant, photographer, flower bouquet, boutonniere, etc! I sent an email explaining what we were looking for and if we could make it happen in 2 weeks! Mary quickly responded. She was extremely professional, helpful, and made everything SO easy and stress free! The flowers were beautiful, the photographer was wonderful, and the ceremony was intimate and perfect... it was everything we wanted!

Marco Island Beach Elopement

Mary was so wonderful to work with! She was flexible and responsive. She is one of the sweetest most kind people! I am so glad I found her to perform our private beach front elopement ceremony. We have been engaged for almost a year and we were going to be down on our regularly scheduled winter vacation and decided to go ahead and get married while down there as this was our first ever adult/alone vacation since having children. We don't get alone time very often with having 3 boys between us. This was a second marriage for us both and we really just wanted a simple, private sunset vowels ceremony. Mary listened to everything I had shared and honored that we wanted something simple just us with sweet traditional vowels. She wrote the most beautiful little ceremony personalized to us from what I had shared with her and we loved it! It was perfect! are we couldn't thank you enough for being flexible and amazing and priced so well compared to others! We would highly recommend Mary to others!

Absolutely lovely!

Mary is the kindest soul in the world! She is sooo passionate about marriage and love. She is extremely professional and on top of everything. She made our ceremony so so special and knew just what to say. Our initial worry was that our family is religious and we are not. Mary perfected our ceremony to make our families and us happy with religious aspects in our ceremony without taking away what we genuinely believe or practice on a daily basis. Since we didn't get married in a church, she brought exactly what we were missing. I cannot recommend her enough!
