I would always recommend Rev. Marian Hale to any future brides. Rev. Marian Hale suggested a great and unique location for our wedding ceremony. She was very professional and thoughtful went beyond our expectations of what a wedding ceremony should look like. Thank you Marian!

We felt immediately comfortable with Rev. Marian. We felt blessed to find such a beautiful person, someone so warm and accepting, to marry us. She is helpful, responsive and supportive start to finish and did an
amazing job on our ceremony! Our only regret is that we didn't get an 'official' photo with Marian, so don't forget that in the rush and excitement of your day :)

Marian was an absolute delight from the first moment we met her at a coffee shop. I automatically felt comfortable with her and felt a genuine sense of warmth and caring attitude in her presence. She was completely professional, while also being completely down to earth. I felt like I could talk to her about the emotional aspects of the wedding from the start. She was very helpful in providing us with a few different ways to create the perfect ceremony for Brian and I. We had a lot of flexibility in adding in pieces of the ceremony that best fit us, including a sand ceremony. She handled the extra parts of the ceremony flawlessly. My guests even commented on how touched they were by her in the ceremony. You can definitely tell that Marian believes in the words she speaks at a ceremony. I highly recommend her services to anyone that is looking for an angelic person to deliver a cherished ceremony.

From the first time we met Marian, we felt like we connected with her. She's incredibly easy to talk to, and very willing to make your ceremony whatever you would like it to be. We met with her several times to work out the details, and when our wedding day came, we could not have been more pleased. The ceremony was beautiful--we had friends and family members offering compliments on it all night, and we really felt it reflected us and our relationship. From beginning to end, working with Marian was a complete pleasure--we ended up with a wedding that was perfectly tailored to us. I would highly recommend working with Marian!

I was amazed at how beautiful Rev. Marian Hale made our Ceremony. She took the time to look up something different for us besides a Unity Candle (we got married outside and the candle would have kept blowing out) and found a Unity Tree that help use involve our Mothers as well. We met up at Starbucks twice so it was really relaxing. The first time we met, my now husband did not come with and she did not want me to sign anything till I talked everything over with him. The ceremony was made just for us; she gave us some templates as a guide to look at but then worked with us to make it just the way we wanted. With her help this was the easiest part of our wedding planning. Rev. Marian Hale even jumped in and helped out when the sound system our DJ provided went out and took charge to get it all fixed for us. My family is still talking about how wonderful Rev. Marian Hale was and I have a family member and friend that both want to book a wedding with her. Thank You so much for making the most important part of my wedding day unbelievably amazing.

From beginning to end, we had the most beautiful wedding and our favorite part of it was the ceremony! Everything about it was classy, warm, thoughtful, genuine and just full of love. We got so many comments on how wonderful Reverend Marian was - the ceremony was smooth and simple, yet very powerful at the same time. She's also a delight to work with. My husband used to work with her, so knew and greatly respected her, so I knew she would be great when he recommended we work with her. But she exceeded my expectations. She's professional, responsive and just a great joy to work with. Don't even consider other officiants...hire Reverend Marian! You won't be disappointed!

Marian is such a nice person and I was so happy to have her with us on our wedding day. We were really impressed by how open-minded and flexible she was in our planning. We didn't want to do anything too crazy, but we know that Marian would have supported us in whatever we wanted to do. She has a great smile and her happiness is infectuous. I would highly recommend Marian as an officiant!

Rev. Marian was a wonderful officiant and greatly contributed to making our wedding day so special. We found her to be organized, professional and flexible as well as warm and fun. Her choice of traditional vs contemporary templates were extremely helpful and together we created a personalized and meaningful ceremony. To this day we still receive compliments from our guests on our tasteful & warm ceremony.

We want to thank you again for participating in our wedding on March 13th. Everything we read on your website and anticipated based on our interactions with you before the wedding came true. It was an amazingly wonderful, sweet, romantic and fun ceremony that our friends are still talking about. We couldn't have asked for anything better; we enjoyed every minute of our wedding. We appreciate everything you did to add your special touches to our day too.

Eventhough we did not meet Rev Marian until the day of the wedding, she was always quick to respond or send feedback to me via email. She let me "design" my ceremony program and gave me helpful suggestions. She's such a pleasant person. I would highly recommend her. Alittle on the higher end, but she is worth every penny.

My husband and I both really liked Marian when we met her by phone. She sent us some sample ceremonies and they were just what we were looking for. We combined what we thought were the best parts of her traditional ceremony with the best parts of her contemporary ceremony to create the ceremony she performed for us. She was very warm and did a good job with the ceremony.

Marian officiated our wedding this month and did a wonderful job. She was very accommodating with our many changes we wanted to make to the script, and responded very quickly to emails. She's done this many times and put me at ease with all the logistics I was unsure about. She was also very willing to work with my schedule for meetings, which was tricky because we were planning an out of state wedding. I did think the price seemed a bit higher than average, but she really did a great job and it is probably worth it.

She was very fun to work with. She was also really helpful - she helped us translating our Japanese poem in English. It was so beautiful!

Marian worked with us on relatively short notice. She was very flexible and responsive to our special requests. She offered two different ceremony formats (traditional and contemporary). We wanted her to do some readings that were meaningful to us, which she flawlessly incorporated into our ceremony. Again, she was very willing to work with our schedule and was prompt calling and emailing us back (it only took hours). She met us at our location and asked whether we would like her to wear her robe (We did. I believe she had also asked us previously if there was something specific we'd like her to wear.). She was kind and peaceful, and seemed genuine. Our ceremony was just as we had hoped, and she even sang a little alleluia for us. She presented us with a binder with our names, and the print-out of the ceremony text. I almost forgot to say, she doubled as a wonderful and gracious photographer! Some may scoff, but we turned the binder into our wedding album! She sent the copy of the marriage license right away, along with a personal note.
I called several different officiants when planning our wedding, but Marian stood out. I am definitely pleased with our choice.
Note: I cannot remember how much we paid, but I believe it was between $200 and $300.

We found Reverend Marian online as she was noted on several wedding websites that we used. She was very easy to work with and responded to all of our requests quickly. She provided us with several ceremony scripts that suited our needs and also let us customize the ceremony. Her price was fair, she arrived on time, and was genuinely interested in us as a couple. Reverend Marian provided us a beautiful ceremony.
