My husband and I met Marie at a bridal fair and were instantly impressed with her warmth and enthusiasm. She was a breeze to work with and wrote and performed a beautiful, personal ceremony~ there wasn't a dry eye in the house! We couldn't have been more pleased and received so many compliments about our ceremony & our officiant, we highly recommend Marie!

Marie was absolutely wonderful! Fun to work with, knowledgeable about all types of ceremonies, wonderful sense of humor. We couldn't have asked for anyone more perfect for us and our ceremony. All our guests were also so impressed with her - she made everyone feel at ease. I recommend Marie without hesitation.

Marie was amazing to work with. From day one, she put us at ease in knowing that there would be one huge thing, the ceremony, that we would not have to worry about. Marie was available as many times as we needed for questions, suggestions, feedback, revisions, and anything else we needed her for. She was also a fantastic resource for the other aspects of the wedding (she helped us pick an awesome DJ) since she has done so many weddings.Bottom line, having Marie as our officiant was the best decision. She made our ceremony "ours". it was as if she has known us our entire lives.... Our guests comments afterwards such as "she was fantastic!", "wow, she really made the ceremony great!", "we've never been to such an amazing ceremony! Marie was amazing!" were all we needed to hear. Hands down. She is the best!

Marie was one of our most responsive and flexible vendors and we really appreciated having her guidance. She let us edit the ceremony as much as we wanted beforehand, which was really great. We were really pleased with how smoothly everything went on the wedding day, and we received many compliments about the ceremony from our guests afterward.

I live in Texas, and decided that I wanted to have my big special day in Mystic, Connecticut. With having to travel so far, I wanted to make sure that my day would be everything that I wanted and more! I spent weeks researching locations and officiants. I saw that Marie Wiley was HIGHLY rated. In communicating with her, Marie and I had an instant friendship. She was so warm, and genuinely excited for us before we had even met! We were in contact for an entire year before my wedding. We communicated constantly, and she was good at getting back to me very quickly. In preparation for writing the ceremony, Marie sent a detailed "getting to know you" survey, that asked a lot of questions to really learn about us and our relationship. What did I get weeks later? The most BEAUTIFUL ceremony I could have asked for. Marie used so many details from our love story in the ceremony, and tied it together in such a way that I was blown away (and that was just from reading the word document!) On my big day, as we got married on the coast at our outdoor ceremony, it was so beautiful and perfect. She selected a private area for us to have our wedding, and it was just amazing. So beautiful! Marie was truly loving and genuine. She was so excited to see us, and made the day completely comfortable! Even though it was the first time meeting, it felt like I had known her for years. The best thing about Marie and what I fell in love with was her background. She became a wedding officiant after her and her husband's bad wedding experience. She said it was so short and not special that she wanted to make sure no one else had to go what they went through. She wants to make sure everyone she marries has the perfect day and something so unique and special. Marie definitely delivered. I have made a friend for life, and can't wait until we visit Mystic again so we can get together and see her again. HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend hiring Marie. If you've thought about anyone else, just reach out and talk to her. You will see that she is more than worth it and you won't give it a second though. Pricing is very fair for the personal attention you'll receive and the great day you will have. Thanks Marie for everything!

We could not have asked for a better officiant for our vow renewal. When the party was over, she not only blessed us with the moments we will cherish for a lifetime; we also gained a friend!! She is the VERY BEST at what she does....all you do is provide the love, she provides the memories!!

I knew Marie was special from the moment I met her. I met her at a Bridal Expo and she just had an amazing personality and incredible presence. We loved having her as our officiant. No matter what the question, she helped us with anything and everything we asked. She is also very quick to reply back to you. Her ceremonies that she created were beautiful and we had a hard time picking the best one. She was incredible from the moment we met to our wedding day. My husband and I would highly recommend her for your wedding. Thank you Marie! You really are the best!

I wanted a last minute free form elopement in town. Marie was my biggest cheerleader. I found her response time to be incredible, her getting the "vibe" of what I wanted perfect and in the end the day was perfection! After planning weddings, I'll be recommending her.

Marie is a fantastic person and really cares about making your day what you want. She is extremely easy to work with and allowed us to adjust/tweak the ceremony as we saw fit. She also has so much wedding experience that she can provide advice. As a lesbian couple, we were mixing tradition with some of our own ideas. Marie had an excellent suggestion on how to incorporate our moms into the processional. It worked great and made both moms feel special. We received many compliments about the ceremony and Marie. We recommend working with her, you won't be disappointed.

Due to my husband and I not wanting to marry in a church, I was very skeptical about finding someone who could perform a ceremony that would not only touch us, but our families and friends as well. After talking on the phone with Marie, my husband and I knew she was the one. We met with her well before our wedding day, reviewed all the details and she wrote our ceremony exactly the way we wanted. She even included little details about things happening in our lives before and during our relationship. The day came and our ceremony was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. Her demeanor was fun, exciting, exhuberant and she made our wedding ceremony unforgettable. Our guests are still talking about her!! Love you Marie and thank you!!!

Marie did a wonderful job tailoring the ceremony to us as a couple and to our location which was at a vineyard. She has a great personality and had everyone had our wedding laughing. She also is quick to think when the unexpected happens. Highly recommened!

Marie was positively the BEST! I cannot imagine anyone else marrying us.... she offered many good ideas, but was flexible with whatever we wanted to do. She has a ton of energy and is very entertaining, making everything fun, sincere and joyous!

Marie quickly became more than our "officiant". Her sense of humor and warm smile helped us to relax and enjoy the day. We had waited 28 years to be legally married and she helped make it MORE than perfect. She welcomed any changes we made to our ceremony because she truly wanted it to become OURS. We live out of state and Marie helped us find everything from the perfect florist to where to have our perfect celebratory lunch. Her suggestion of photographer was, again, perfect! Marie could not have been more PERFECT!! Thank You Marie.
