Mary Montanari

We have so many wonderful things to say about Mary. Working with her was such a gift. She helped us to plan a wedding ceremony that reflected who are are and what we value - she helped to guide us but also encouraged us to be creative in deciding how to structure our ceremony. We didn't expect the ceremony itself to be such a highlight of our day but it really felt so special. Our guests also loved it and LOVED Mary. So many people commented on how fantastic she was. She made it fun and interactive for everyone so our friends and family felt engaged and invested. She brings such life and energy to her work. She is professional but laid back - all of our experiences with her were great. We are so grateful to have worked with her!!

I've attended a few weddings now and I can easily say Mary is *the* best officiant I've ever witnessed- extra humbled to have her run our ceremony! She was enthusiastic, personable, charismatic, knowledgeable and exceptionally adaptable. Going the extra mile for in-person rehearsals, as well as explaining our Tea Ceremony to our guests (as well as colour commentary) was amazing. Mary is fantastic! She is also a Marvel fan (bonus points for that) Definitely recommend her for YOUR wedding!

Mary is one of a kind and will give you no less in a wedding ceremony. With Mary, you get more than just an officiant - you also get an advisor and a choreographer - and a very helpful book! She is easy (and fun) to work with and we felt well-prepared for our wedding day. She gives excellent tips, tricks, and advice for your ceremony as well as for the day as a whole. Don't skip the in-person walk-through! We originally thought it didn't matter, but it helped us personalize the ceremony and prepare us for what to expect (and you'll get to meet her cutie dog).

Mary was absolutely amazing as our officiant for our wedding! Not only did my husband and I absolutely love our ceremony and the style Mary brought to it, we had so many of our guests comment about how great Mary was as well. Creating our ceremony was fun and stress free as well, from our first meeting to the rehearsal to the day of. Mary listened to us and helped create the most amazing and heart warming ceremony. Our ceremony was also so unique. She incorporated our traditions amazingly but also suggested some unique ways to shake up tradition, such as how to have our mothers involved in the ceremony. I can’t recommend Mary enough!

Mary is amazing and exactly who you want for anyone looking to have a fun and memorable ceremony. From day one she is all about making the entire process special and enjoyable, and you can tell that she loves what she does. She truly has found her calling in life and she is perfect at it. Even in our small ceremony we had a lot of fun with her, we very comfortable, and she gets everyone involved. Her energy is what makes any ceremony, big or small, an amazing time. 10 out of 5 stars.

What can I possibly say about Mary that probably hasn't already been said?!I was looking for an officiant that would make our wedding, regardless of the size, feel like us and that is exactly what Mary did! I am very much so a judge a book by it's cover" kinda person and boy was I right about her! We were able to have zoom calls where we got to know a little about each other and her personality and energy is so warm

Mary was absolutely amazing!!! Although it was freezing cold by the lake that afternoon she managed to make our ceremony perfect! We couldn’t have asked for anything different or more! She even made us hot chocolate! Mary’s energy and personality are so rare and so pleasant! Thank you Mary!

Mary was excellent she made everyone feel so welcome at our wedding. It was a very beautiful ceremony and it made us feel even more happy on our special day! Thank you so much ❤️

We love Mary!!!! She did a wonderful job making our wedding ceremony feel like us and had so many incredibly thoughtful suggestions from ways to include our moms in the ceremony, to suggesting readings that really fit our style to suggesting that my husband carry a sentimental handkerchief in his pocket to dab away any tears (and there were many). Her guidance during the planning stages was so incredibly appreciated - she always speaks with so much love and has an infectious energy. Our friends and family all loved the ceremony and we feel so grateful to have found her for our wedding day!
