Marie is amazingly professional and a wonderful person! I really enjoyed working with her to plan out my spouse and I's ceremony. She made things very easy to understand and brought up so many things that I would have never thought about when planning. She is thoughtful in her process and it makes for a great ceremony and experience. She made herself available at any time for us and made sure we were prepared for all the paperwork and official documents we needed. I felt that she really got to know us during our meetings with her and that the outcome was a personalized ceremony, which made the day all the more special. Our family even believed that we had known each other much longer than the few months we contacted her about our wedding. Highly recommend Marie as an officiant for any kind of ceremony someone may have in mind. read more

I couldn't recommend Marie highly enough. She makes everything stress free, especially amongst a crazy stressful time for everyone! (re- covid) From scouting and securing an amazing location, to offering several photography options and coordinating that as well. (Shout out to Larissa Bahr for bomb photos!). Marie was amazing throughout the entirety our elopement process. We booked the "choose your own adventure elopement" and chose a state park in Big Sur, CA. Almost immediately after booking, COVID and SIP hit. Marie didn't miss a beat and guided us through everything, including the uncertainty regarding park closures and openings and re-closures as, at the time, everything was changing on a weekly, if not daily basis. She communicated with us about everything throughout the process and was completely transparent about any potential uncertainty. In addition to location/ photography/ ceremony curation, she brings the florals and guides the marriage license process, which was interesting due to the ever changing rules in different counties. What more could you ask for? Literally, we showed up and had a great day, this is the full stop elopement package! When you do an elopement, it is not a traditional wedding, Marie communicates that early on and sets expectations for this. She definitely takes the time in your first meeting to make sure this is the right fit for you. Marie curated a beautiful ceremony that aligned with exactly what we wanted and took the time to get to know us, our love story and vision for the day. On the day, finally meeting Marie irl, she was great! Such a truly kind person with a great personality who really made sure we were having fun! She also looked after my pup and kept him calm for several photo sessions throughout the day which was greatly appreciated! This will be the easiest decision you make regarding your elopement, and perhaps the only one you need to, other than showing up. THANK YOU MARIE! read more

Marie is incredible at her job! Our epic elopement was more than we envisioned! She truly listened to our wants, personalized our ceremony, and guided us through the day of our dreams. Planning an elopement during COVID was not how we expected to wed, but Marie ensured it all went as smoothly as possible. If you're looking for a less stressful way to plan a ceremony, you need to hire Marie! We cannot rave enough about her! If you are curious, find her on IG where she posts so many beautiful ceremonies. We were lucky to find her and grateful she took our elopement on. We highly recommend Marie! read more

I had originally signed up for the Tristan and Isolde package at their riverside office but had some complications and had to change it. Minister Marie returned my call right away and was more than happy to help me. We were able to change my package over the phone and take care of payment right away. She and her notary were incredibly friendly and easy to talk to while we did our paperwork. She made us feel at ease during the whole process. I highly recommend this place The website seems to be going through some changes lately so make sure you double check that the packages you want are still available. read more

Your search for an officiant ends here. Just stop looking and run, don't walk, to book Marie. Our wedding, to be perfectly honest, was kind of a disaster. So many things that could have gone wrong, totally did. Marie was the sole, shining exception. She brought so much heart, warmth, and love to the ceremony that those 20 minutes entirely eclipsed all of our worries that day. She was gracious, compassionate, and at one point, she literally ministered to my wife who was on the verge of a panic attack, successfully. We will never forget her sincerity, steadiness, and kindness to us. Our guests will long remember the most engaging, personal, and thoughtful wedding ceremony they've ever been forced to listen to. Thank you for giving us the ceremony of a lifetime Marie, you're an angel. read more

Marie was our officiant and she did such an amazing job! She has a process to ensure you get a ceremony that looks exactly how you want it to look and is "uniquely you". Many of our guests repeatedly asked if we knew Marie prior to wedding planning because it seemed like she knew us well. Truth is, we didn't know each other prior to planning but I am so glad we got to know each other during the process! I am a wedding vendor myself and VERY picky about who I work with for my clients as well as who I would allow to be a part of my big day and I am so glad that we went with Married By Marie for our wedding. read more

One of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding was using Marie as our officiant. All my guest were raving about her. She made the whole process so smooth and was so easy to talk to. You can truly tell how much she cares about her job by her work. Thank you Marie for being there for the most important part of our wedding. I will definitely be giving your number to my friends in the future. -Brooke and David read more

If you're reading these reviews stressed trying to find an officiant stop stressing and just hire her already. Marie went above and beyond anything we could have imagined. It really felt like it was our long time friend up there marrying us. Standing infront of a large crowd of people is slightly horrifying and we asked Marie to keep it light hearted so we wouldn't be so tense. She nailed it. The ceremony was perfect we got our star wars references in there, we laughed, we cried but most importantly her delivery kept us present in the moment to take in every word. We received so many great compliments about our ceremony. Can't thank Marie enough for making our day so special. read more

Minister Marie is awesome! She knew what we were looking for in our ceremony before we knew! Haha She did an incredible job and I could not be happier with how she conducted our ceremony. She also makes things very easy and keeps you informed in all necessary steps along the way. Thank you so much for what you do Marie!! read more

Where do I start? Minister Marie is the best!!!! In the beginning of wedding planning we didn't have an officiant in mind so we asked a few married couples we knew for some suggestions. We received a few recommendations but after speaking with a few of the officiants and just didn't have a connection with any of them and we became discouraged. The wedding was hold at The Wedgewood at The Retreat in Corona and they suggest Minister Marie so we said why not give her a try. We did some research on her via her website, Instagram and Yelp. We scheduled a phone meeting with her via her website, super easy. From the moment we spoke with her, we loved her. She was very warm and knowledgeable. Unfortunately we didn't know exactly what we wanted in a ceremony beside we wanted it short and sweet. She offers a questionnaire to learn more about us and our wants and that actually helps us figure out exactly what we wanted. The day of she was funny, kind spirited and very engaging. She made me as the bride so comfortable. Even after the ceremony she hung around and helped my gather up family members for our photos. I'm so happy we found her, she made our day even more special. She treated both me and the groom like we were old friends of her. She is such a genuine person who takes what she does seriously and is great at it. Thank you Minister Marie for our short and sweet wedding ceremony!!!! read more

Let's Get Married By Marie - Officiants Near Me - Riverside, California

Here we go again! So last year Marie helped us plan the most epic elopement experience and this year we couldn't see ourselves getting married surrounded by our friends and family without Marie officiating. When I arrived at the venue I was so nervous but I could hear a familiar voice outside of the bridal suite. Marie walked in to say hi and to see how I was doing and honestly her presence just made me feel more at ease. We chatted for a moment and when she left my bridesmaids asked if she was a long time friend, I just laughed and said that she was our officiant but it did feel like a friend walked in when she came through the door. The ceremony was wonderful and so personal I could not have asked for more. I was so happy to share this moment with our close friends and family! I would say for anyone looking for an officiant that brings in personal elements, is able to stay serious or keep it light, look no further!! read more

Let me just start off by saying Marie is an amazing person. When we had met with her through video chat we knew we made the right decision. Meeting her in person sealed the deal even more. She made our wedding ceremony one for the books and our guests raved to us about how amazing it was and how custom it was and how it was something they have never been apart of. I couldn't thank her enough for what she did for us and making our day special for us. Definitely recommend her to anyone you'll love every second from the get go. read more

Marie was absolutely the best person to help us with our wedding. She approached every facet of the wedding process and our ceremony with care and thoughtfulness, and made our big day all the more special. Her attention to detail was amazing and the entire experience of our elopement ceremony was made easier because of her. I cannot recommend her enough if you're looking for an elopement ceremony or looking to move away from a traditional wedding ceremony. read more

We were initially going to have one of our friends be our officiant, but that wound up not working out. After our wedding, both my new husband and I are so very thankful that it happened this way because Marie was incredible. We both feel so lucky that she was recommended to us. Everyone had all the happy tears and whenever someone talks to us about our wedding the very first thing that they say is how fantastic Marie was and how much they loved the ceremony. Our wedding was actually the first wedding that either my husband or I have attended as adults, so we were pretty lost on what we even wanted or how the ceremony went, and we did all of the planning and preparations on our own. Needless to say, the whole wedding prep was pretty overwhelming, but Marie answered every question and explained everything and was just so incredibly helpful. She listened to everything that we said was important to us and handcrafted something so far beyond my expectations. Thank you so much Marie, for making the most meaningful moment in our lives magical. read more

Personal, spiritual, well spoken, genuine and absolutely lovely! Marie was a breeze to work with. Great with communication and planning, very professional. Our guests commented how her wording took them back to why they were married and how important union is between two people. She understood exactly what my groom and I envisioned and nailed it flawlessly. Our ceremony was spiritual but not religious, just how we wanted it. BOOK MARIE NOW. DO NOT HESITATE. Start your marriage off right, with Marie. read more

I had such a hard time trying to find an officiant for my non-denomination wedding ceremony. I really wanted someone who would make our ceremony fun and unique. As soon as I read that Minister Marie was a bit on the Geeky side like us I knew she would be perfect, and she was! We had a Star Wars theme and as soon as I told her, she was all for it! She gave us some great suggestions and advice and she was so easy and pleasant to work with. She surprised us with a completely personalized introduction about how my husband and I met and it was beautiful and amazing! All my guests told me how amazing the ceremony was and how great our minister was and I couldn't agree with them more! If you want a personal, fun and unique wedding, Minister Marie is the officiant you want! read more

Long overdue review. Marie officiated my wedding. I ran 15 minutes late. She told my husband while waiting for me to come out of green room the fee for me being late and if I didn't hurry up she would leave because she had other appointments. I was FIFTEEN minutes late. I was not pleased with how she was quick to rush us to sign the marriage license so she could go. I will not be recommending her. read more

We were married in Joshua Tree National Park by Minister Marie. She planned the best service! She is professional and will make sure your wedding is perfect! I recommend her 100% She was very helpful with suggestions and information as we planned a tiny destination wedding. We hit a snag and she made sure our wedding went as planned! We love Minister Marie!!! read more

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!!! First of all, working with Let' get Married was so easy and fast. Second of all they listen to exactly what you want for your ceremony, not just making you pick for four different ceremonies. Also their prices are great.

He was fun, well spoken, engaging, and made our ceremony unique to us. I would HIGHLY recommend lets get married, as well as Michael as your officiant. We couldn't have asked for a better ceremony.

We had the pleasure of working with Justin for our wedding in July. I have only positive words to say about him. When we first met Justin we instantly felt a connection. He made us feel so comfortable and listened to everything we said but made it even better. He is very creative and great with his words. During the ceremony he definitely brought his "A" game. He was genuine, warm, lighthearted and hilarious, which was exactly what we wanted! We have heard so many compliments about how awesome and funny he was! We are so happy we were able to share such a special moment in our lives with someone so awesome. I highly recommend using Justin for your wedding and believe he will best accommodate your wedding needs! read more

First let me say how Marie made what can be a crazy day to plan for a breeze. It's no wonder she's five stars. From having a variety of options like elopements to full on hall size weddings to locations as beautiful as your imagination, there are no limits. Prices are also big and small but definitely on the affordable side of the spectrum. We eloped to gorgeous Laguna Beach. Called her with less than 2 months to the wedding date and even had to reschedule due to our own bad planning and Marie was still able to accommodate us. If there's a first thing on your list when it comes to starting this journey it should be inquiring with Marie now. Just follow her lead. Don't worry, there be plenty of input from you. She just makes it easy. read more

Wow! I can't believe we have been married over a month now! This is a long overdue THANK YOU to our amazing Minister @letsgetmarriedsocal for giving us the most perfect wedding ceremony we ever could have imagined. Minister Marie got to know us about a month before our ceremony, she talked with us over the phone for an hour and had us each fill out a questionnaire about our relationship. She was so down to earth, easy to talk to, she listened and learned our story and created a very personal ceremony. After the wedding so many people asked us how long we knew her, the way she spoke about us and our relationship, people thought we knew her for years. We were all so touched by her words! If anyone is getting married and needs a Minister, Marie is definitely one to call!!! Thank you Minister Marie! read more

My husband and I got married on 8/4/18 after 5 years together. I don't know how we would have gotten through the ceremony without Marie. If I could give her 20 stars I would. Marie goes above and beyond every step of the way. She communicates throughly, she is always comforting and helpful and resourceful. Planning with her was so smooth and stress free. About 75% of the guests came up to us at the reception and told us how wonderful and how great our minister was. Minister Marie makes your guests feel like she knows you and your partner just as well as your family and friends witnessing the marriage. Marie, we will never forget you and we are so glad we chose "Let's Get Married By Marie". You made our day truly special! Salud! read more

Our backyard wedding was organized on a very short time frame. We found Marie through reading the reviews on Yelp, and it was even better than we could imagine. Marie met with us in person and was genuinely interested in getting to know our love story and how to make the ceremony memorable. We decided to write our own vows and Marie gave us great tips on how to structure them + we emailed the vows to her beforehand so she could make sure it flowed with the whole ceremony. The ceremony is the absolute most important moment of the wedding day, and we couldn't thank Marie enough for making it memorable for a lifetime. We highly recommend Marie, thank you for everything! read more
