Beautiful Ceremony

Mary preformed our elopement ceremony and we can't say enough great things! Communication was great, the ceremony was so prefect. Very reliable and we thought very affordable. Would definitely recommend to any couple thinking about getting married in the Black Hills or surrounding areas.

10/10 All the Stars

Mary & Caitlyn are phenomenal. Mary took the lead on ceremony planning and Caitlyn was our officiant on our wedding day.
I didn’t know what to expect from this process, but these two made everything so smooth and easy. I’m sure planning a ceremony can be overwhelming, but we never felt that way when working with Mary.
As far as rehearsal and ceremony go, Caitlyn knocked it out of the park. At our rehearsal, she was able to kindly and firmly wrangle our wedding party and established boundaries to help make our day as stress-free as possible. She was so patient with us when we got excited during the ceremony and just wanted to have our first kiss, too!

We had so many guests tell us that our ceremony was perfectly fit for us, and I give all the props to Mary & Caitlyn for that.

The One and Only!

We had a destination wedding, so choosing an officiant was one of the most important decisions I had to make. From the first email we had and then meeting in person several months prior, I knew Mary was just what I was searching for and needed! She is gentle, kind and calming, so very organized and is involved for as much or as little as you need. She has officiated hundreds of weddings, so had many ideas for readings, the order of the ceremony, vows. etc.- whatever I needed, she had the options and answers. I loved and respected that she was clear to us that this was our day and she was there to make it happen our way.
Another bonus is that she is from the area and had referrals for everything: bakery, photography, hair, nails, etc. I found my decorator through her and he was phenomenal. Now that our wedding is over, I miss her!!

If I'm not available on your date, I will ask Caitlyn if she is.

When she and I partner on a wedding, I still get to work with you to create your ceremony. Once we have it perfect, Caitlyn steps in and leads it and the rehearsal. She has great presence and is incredibly respectful and easy to be with.

Caitlyn has led dozens of ceremonies with me for more than 5 years. Along the way, she met my son (I may have given a bit of a nudge to both of them), and now I get to call her my daughter-in-law!
