    Professional and Easy!

    Maureen was fantastic from start to finish and made the process very smooth. We didn’t have a worry that she wouldn’t be able to make our day special! She even worked with us when we had to push our wedding back an hour the day of. Very personal person so you don’t feel like this is just a “job”. We would highly recommend Maureen to anyone.

    She was a gift!

    I am forever grateful I found Maureen to officiate my wedding! She was professional, approachable, prepared, yet flexible, patient and loving. By the time we said our vows, I felt she knew us like family. With Maureen's help, we were able to create a unique blend of tradition and personality that made our vows meaningful and unique. I would highly recommend her.

    My husband and I had a small family only elopement style wedding in St. Augustine. We found Maureen through wedding wire and we are so glad she was the person we chose! We planed the whole wedding in just two weeks and she was very accommodating! We contacted her on a holiday weekend and she got us the rough drat of the the ceremony within just a few days. Everything we wanted was in the script and the ceremony was absolutely perfect! Thank you for all of your help, and making our wedding amazing!

    Maureen was great from the first time she took the time to meet us up to the Wedding Day. The process was made easy by Maureen as she was able to use our own words to come up with beautifully written custom vows. We had many compliments after and still consider Maureen and her husband George friends to this day!

    Do yourself a favor and book her.

    Maureen was absolutely awesome! She has a great personality and is all about making the day about the Bride and Groom. I would definitely recommend Creative Wedding Ceremonies, Hilton Head Island to any bride that needs an officiant. She wasn't just our officiant, but gave us recommendations on our other vendors we needed for our beach wedding. Thanks Maureen!! -Kelley Callahan, Charlotte NC

    We found the perfect officiant in Maureen and Creative Wedding Ceremonies. She took the time to sit down with us and really get to know us which reflected in our personalized vows and ceremony. She wrote the most beautiful vows for us that were tailored to fit our differing religious backgrounds. She also made sure to honor our families and friends that were such an important part of our wedding day. The hand ceremony that she performed was beautiful and brought everyone to tears. We couldn't have asked for anyone better!

    Maureen was extremely professional and very prepared for our wedding. We put together our own vows and worked with Maureen to make the vows even more special. Her experience and kindness put us at ease, both before and during the wedding. She was spectacular in front of a rather large outdoor crowd, and was effective in gaining and holding everyone's attention. She also read a lovely prayer at the reception following the ceremony.

    Maureen is a wonderful woman who truly cared about us and our marriage. I would highly recommend her to any couple looking for an officiant. I promise you will not be disappointed!

    Maureen was absolutely wonderful. The ceremony that she wrote for us was so beautiful and it captured my husband and I so perfectly. She helped make it the best day of our lives. Thank you, Maureen!!

    If you contact Maureen @ Creative Weddings you will not be disappointed. Once I spoke to Maureen on the phone I knew I found the right person to marry my husband and I. She has a great personality. Maureen spent time asking us questions so that she could capture just the right feelings & words we wanted to say and hear. To quote my best friend who came to our wedding "that was the most beautiful ceremony I have ever heard". That's the Gods honest truth! Maureen works to give you "your" wedding the way you want it. She helped us in other ways as well. We live in Arizona and Maureen was wonderful in guiding us when we needed help with details that you could only get from someone living in Hilton Head and who would be honest with you. I can tell you the next time my husband and I visit Hilton Head (hopefully for an anniversary trip), we will definitely be looking Maureen up to say Hello. Maureen is the best! -

    Maureen was so amazing! I wish I could give her 100 stars! I appreciate how much she got to know me and my husband while we were planning to make our day perfect. She went out of her way to be sure she really understood what we wanted and helped me see my vision of the ceremony. She was extremely professional and never tried to "push her views" or "how it should be", but rather provided great examples after asking me what I wanted. Overall my ceremony was so beautiful. I still obtain compliments from family and friends to this day about how touching the ceremony was. She even was able to make my extremely to himself husband open up and write his own vows, which was really important to me!!! Thank you for everything!!!!!

    Maureen was amazing to work with. From my first phone conversation with her, I felt at ease. We finally met with her face-to-face about 3 months before the ceremony to get to know her and to go through the ceremony itself. She listened to our recommendations and helped refine sections of the ceremony to make it personal and make it our's. Periodically leading up to the ceremony, she would check in with me via email to see how things were going and make sure I didn't need anything. She even scoped out our location to let us know about some changes so we could modify our plans appropriately.

    On the day of the wedding (on the beach in Hilton Head) it started to rain during our ceremony, and Maureen rolled with it. She ensured we had all the beautiful sections we'd planned, but perserving us and our guests from a sudden downpour. I couldn't have asked for a more responsive person to oversee the most important ceremony of my life! We asked her and her husband to join us at the reception, and they stayed and had a good time!

    Maureen was WONDERFUL. My husband and I had planned a wedding on the beach being married by a good friend of ours. When a family emergency arose the week before our wedding, and our friends were unable to come, they contacted her via email and phone and within 30 minutes, she had contacted me and arranged a meeting. She drove to my work so that we could go over the ceremony in detail (our friends had faxed/emailed her everything) and to calm my fears in having someone on our special day. She was very personable, and flexible. We spent about 20 minutes going over the notes/ceremony details, and she was ready to go. She was on site an hour ahead of time and had all paperwork and necessities. She was amazing!!
