“Maria was fantastic!! She worked with us personally every step of the way. She wrote a special customized and personal ceremony for me and my (now) husband. She was there to answer any questions we had and guide us through the whole wedding process. Her energizing and bubbly personality fit great with mine and many guests raved about how great Maria was during the ceremony. Maria was so supportive and we really appreciated everything she did for us from the planning process, to the edits, to the rehearsal, to the wedding, and even afterwards. We would 100% recommend her services to anyone we ..read more

Fox Weddings The three of us bond during the ceremony. We can’t help it, it just happens. We’re up there in a little bubble of bliss sharing this intimate moment in your lives. Sometimes that bond is felt very deeply and other times, it’s fleeting and lasts just for the ceremony. Either way, it’s one of my favorite parts of being a professional wedding officiant. At this wedding, the bond that Christina and Danny and I formed while ..read more

A few things that are making me happy during this COVID-19 pandemic. I hope they make you happy, too. It’s been a while since I posted one of my Things I’m Loving blog posts, so I thought I’d put together a new one. With all that’s going on in the world, it may seem silly to just post links of things I’m loving. But maybe we need a little more silly, a little more fun, and little more distraction? Either way, I thought it would be a good time for me to think of all the things that are actually making me happy right now, and may you’d enjoy them, too!

Top 10 list of best reasons to hire a professional wedding officiant for your wedding ceremony. #weddingofficiant #weddingceremony The main reason you’d ask a friend or family member to officiate your wedding is because they know you, which would make the ceremony very meaningful. I completely understand the impulse and have definitely seen it work a time or two, but, in general, there is a lot that an experienced, professional officiant does that a friend or family member wouldn’t know how to do. With that in mind, I put together a top 10 list of reasons to work with a professional ..read more

How to Tie a Knot during your Wedding Ceremony
A Sweet Start | Maine Wedding Blog
by A Sweet Start

How to tie a Fisherman’s Knot One of my favorite wedding ceremony traditions is the literal tying of the knot. It’s super fun and engaging for you and your guests, and (bonus) it works so well with nautical-themed or coastal Maine weddings! This ceremony element is rich in symbolism: as pressure is applied to the knot it strengthens, just like marriage. Also, the Fisherman’s Knot is known as the strongest of all knots. Some say the rope will break before the knot comes undone. That’s solid symbolism, if you ask me! As pressure is applied to the knot it strengthens, just like marriage. Once ..read more
