Her Husband Lorelle did our photography and carried the same energy. If we could rate them 6 stars we would! Thanks again Maria and Lorelle! You helped make an already wonderful day even better!

We could not have asked for a better officiant than Maria- I doubt there is one. Meeting her for the first time was like hanging out with an old friend. She’s easy to work with and a lot of fun. She makes it as easy as possible for you to have a ceremony that’s personalized to you as a couple, without the stress of you writing your own vows. My husband wanted me to write our vows, I did not want to (so many other things to do!), and in the end we were both happy that we chose to let Maria handle that instead. We also had her run our rehearsal and were very happy with that choice as well, it made us feel much more confident on our wedding day. I had always thought of the ceremony as more of a formality to get over before the party, and dreaded standing up in front of so many people. But largely because of Maria, I really enjoyed the ceremony, as did my husband- it felt personal and emotional, not formal and stiff. Our guests truly enjoyed it too, as Maria kept it short and made them laugh, just like we wanted. She really made a special day even more special. Thank you Maria, for making it official! -

Maria and her sister Cathleen made the rehearsal and wedding day super easy! Cathleen was our Officient and she was super nice and very professional. Our ceremony was intimate and she really captured our personalities. Would recommend over and over again! -

Maria is the definition of a perfect wedding vendor/officiant!! We had major issues with our officiant and needed to find a new one when we were within the 2 months window of wedding day. After reaching out and receiving >10 "no's" because everyone was booked, Maria called me right away, found our what was happening, and made it work. I needed her to travel across the state, and all she asked was that I pay for a place for her to sleep. Which was a no brainer! Working with her to create the perfect reading/vows/ ceremony for us was easy, because she is so good at what she does. When she traveled, we had to pay for her highest package, but that turned out to be a blessing in disguise because she was soooooo incredibly helpful as a second "coordinator" (I had already hired a wedding planner). Not only was she helpful and sweet, but we could tell the moment we met her that she cares about making our day perfect and special. Any request we had, she obliged. She danced the night away with us, listened to me vent at one point, and fixed any problem we needed her too! If we lived near her, I would want to be her best friend!! We will never forget how special and fun she helped make our wedding day. We couldn't have imagined any one else officiating our wedding! Highly recommend Maria, anytime, anywhere!! -

Neither my husband or I are religious, so we decided to find our officiant via the internet. We found Maria and she was within our budget and had our date available, so after briefly meeting with her we hired her. Maria ended up being one of the best vendors we hired for our wedding. She created a beautiful ceremony and also handled an issue with the ceremony space vendor. Without her, I would not have had an aisle to walk down. She handled the situation wonderfully and made sure everything went according to plan. Maria not only made it official for us, but made our wedding ceremony perfect.Maria Makes It Official's reply:
Hi Katrina! You are so kind and I am so sorry this response didn't show up when I originally responded. You both were so wonderful to work with and it was an honor to be a part of your big day. I hope you are both doing well! I would love to catch up!
Best Wishes and great 2020!!

Kerry Sent on 07/24/2018Maria was absolutely amazing. We were looking for an officiant who was all inclusive and could handle any type of wedding, and she came through with flying colors. Quality of service and communication were top notch. She was professional about everything, but she also has a wonderful personality that made everything so much easier. Maria was quick to reply to any questions we had, was great value for what she provided, and really came through with a cute and personalized story for us when the big moment came. She was easily the best vendor we dealt with, and we highly recommend anyone looking for an officiant to give her a call. -
Devin Sent on 07/05/2018We cannot say enough good things about Maria!
We searched for quite a bit to find someone to officiate our wedding. When we met with Maria, we shared a look because we instantly knew we wanted her to be the one. Her personality shines. We felt so comfortable with her. Like shes a friend we had known for years. With us having a intimate wedding, that was very important to us.
She was then always available. She gave us her email and number to call of text whenever needed. She customized our vows so perfectly. Then let us tweak anything needed, but there wasn't much. She did a beautiful job. They brought happy tears and laughter.
You would be making a wonderful decision to hire Maria. You will know it within first meeting her. She takes her passion and professionalism for her job seriously. Thank you, Maria. You made our day PERFECT!Maria Makes It Official's reply:
Thank you so much Devin for your kind words. I absolutely loved working with you guys on your big day. Putting together your ceremony was so much fun and your girls are beautiful. I look forward to meeting up sometime and catching up :)
Best Wishes and thank you again for allowing me to be a part of your big day!! -

Kari Sent on 11/01/2017I found Maria through theknot.com and she was one of the only vendors I went into completely blind. I didn't have a personal recommendation, and was just going off of reviews I read online. My husband and I met with Maria over coffee one day and were completely amazed by how personal of a hangout it was. When meeting her, we instantly felt like we were grabbing coffee with a friend. After figuring out her process and picking her brain a little about her officiating style, we decided to go with her. She gave us a questionnaire to fill out that allowed her to get to know both of us and our relationship. She picked up on our vibe right away and wrote up an impressive ceremony that was free-spirited, and light-hearted because that's what we were going for. I can't tell you enough how well she read us, our story, and the mood of our day. She made something so special to present to everyone, my friends and family commented on how awesome she was. The whole experience of working with her was amazing, not stressful at all , and now we couldn't imagine our day with anyone else telling our story. Maria came to our rehearsal dinner and even stayed at the wedding for a while. I feel like I have left this whole experience with a friend. If you are at all entertaining Maria as your officiant, DO IT! You will be so happy you did. =)Maria Makes It Official's reply:
Kari,
I had so much fun getting to know you both through the process of creating your ceremony. Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your day before, during, as well as after the ceremony.
If you guys ever need anything don't hesitate to call. Thank you so much for the opportunity to bring you two together :)
