Reverend Maureen Jeffries was, without a doubt, one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day!
From the very beginning, she took the time to truly get to know us—our story, our personalities, our experiences, and all the little details that make us who we are as a couple. She took everything she learned about us and created the most beautiful, personal, and intimate ceremony we could have ever imagined. What an incredible way to begin our marriage!
I honestly don't think I have the right words to express just how special she made our day. But what makes this story even more amazing are the little coincidences that followed!
As my family arrived at our ceremony, one of my cousins realized that Reverend Jeffries was also officiating her daughter's wedding just one week after ours! Neither of us had any idea! Then, about a week after our wedding, we were chatting with our next-door neighbors and discovered that Reverend Jeffries had married them, too!
Three couples, all connected in different ways, and all fortunate enough to have this wonderful woman be part of their love stories. How incredible is that?
I truly believe some people are simply meant to cross our paths, and Reverend Jeffries was absolutely meant to be part of ours.
If you're considering her for your wedding, meet her. You will understand immediately why she is so special.
We will forever be grateful for the warmth, love, and sincerity she brought to our ceremony. She didn't just officiate our wedding. She helped make it one of the most meaningful moments of our lives.
We absolutely adore her, and we couldn't imagine beginning our marriage with anyone else! ❤️

My husband and I couldn’t be more thankful that we found Maureen. She quickly became more than just a wedding vendor but someone we came to know, love and trust.
We worked with Maureen for about a year leading up to the wedding. Our monthly zoom calls where we laugh, cried, got to know each other, and learn about partnerships and marriage quickly became something we both looked forward to.
Maureen created the most beautiful and personalized ceremony. All of our guests were in awe of the program that she helped to create. Our ceremony felt so deeply personal and her words touched us and our guests hearts. She was a calming presence through it all.
I could not recommend Maureen more for a weddings. She was such a light for my husband and I. We felt so loved by her. We are so incredibly thankful for her love and support and so glad that we got the honor to have her marry us.

ght calls when we had questions or needed guidance. What really set her apart was the care she took to understand our culture and what mattered most to us and our families. She didn’t just “show up and officiate” — she listened, offered thoughtful suggestions, and helped shape a ceremony that felt personal, meaningful, and authentically us.
On the wedding day, she was calm, warm, and so professional. Her delivery was heartfelt and beautifully paced, and she created a ceremony that felt elevated without feeling scripted or generic. If you’re looking for an officiant who is kind, culturally respectful, and genuinely invested in making your ceremony special, we cannot recommend Rev. Jeffries enough.

Maureen was the perfect choice for our day. Our original officiant fell through, so we inquired with Maureen later in the process, and luckily enough she had the day available and ...
was willing to meet and work with us in just three weeks. I appreciated that she took the time to get to know us as people, as a couple, and the families/story that lead us to this point in our relationship. We were able to meet over Zoom a couple times to talk about everything, our wants and needs and anything we didn’t want. Maureen drafted the ceremony and did a walkthrough in case we wanted to change anything (which we didn’t!) Our wedding was in November, so it was cold, so we discussed that if it was way too cold or any bad weather, we could take out specific parts to shorten it just a bit. All that being said, Maureen was well prepared and offered a lot of insight that we wouldn’t have thought of. She even made sure our bridal party & groomsmen did a walkthrough so they knew where the needed to be (which the venue didn’t!!) Maureen is easy-going, but on top of even more than I would think an officiant typically would be- she went above and beyond. I can’t say enough how perfect of a choice she was!

We had a wonderful experience with Maureen as our wedding officiant and pre-marital coach. From our first meeting with her, she took the time to get to know us and the specifics of...
our relationship. We chose to meet with her monthly leading up to our wedding, and from the beginning we hit the ground running with questionnaires and conversion prompts to help us deepen our relationship, talking about topics like: communication, arguing, finances, stressors, etc. With all the time she took to get to know us and our relationship, as well as her 20 years of officiating experience and broad knowledge of literature, the three of us were able to craft a beautiful, emotional, and very “us” ceremony, that was unlike any wedding we’ve been to before.
We would highly recommend reaching out and seeing if Maureen is the right person for you, like she was for us. Regardless of how often you’d like to meet or how in-depth you’d like to go, she can match your preferences and help you build a beautiful ceremony and relationship.
To anyone reading, I hope you have a great wedding!

meet you maybe twice and then the day of your wedding, which felt very impersonal to us. Maureen spends time with you leading up to your wedding, really spending the time to get to know you. Not only does this wholeheartedly reflect in the ceremony itself, but it makes the journey itself wonderful and you walk away with a new friend. She speaks with such compassion, kindness and love. Our entire family after the ceremony kept raving about how amazing she was too. We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about her and how much we recommend her. We cannot thank her enough!!

There was not a dry eye in the venue which is truly what I wanted. She made the whole experience so custom to our relationship and was a huge help on everything, even making sure my husband had the most perfect vows. I am truly so beyond happy we chose Maureen to guide us into this next step of our lives. I cannot recommend Maureen enough.

She was very warm and helpful throughout the process. She really took the time to get to know us to create such a perfect ceremony for us! We had 2 dress mishaps , one with the bridesmaids dress and one with the wedding dress that she did not hesitate to help us fix! It was definitely not in her job description but it's worth the mention to show how she went above and beyond on our special day! Added bonus: The guests absolutely loved the way to manage the ceremony as they felt included and involved in the whole process. If any of my family / friends need someone for a wedding, I know who I would strongly recommend.

Every single guest told us that her delivery was the best ceremony they’ve ever attended. Especially our parents and family! They loved everything she said and how she said it. She supported us, taught us and guided us for almost a year on what it really means to enter our marriage and I’m eternally grateful to her for it.

I cannot recommend Maureen highly enough as a Justice of the Peace. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to make our wedding day truly special. Our initial wedding pl...
ans had to be completely reworked due to a family member falling ill with COVID, forcing us to reschedule everything, including finding new vendors. It was during this challenging time that we found Maureen, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made.
Even though we only had a couple of months to plan, Maureen took the time to really get to know us as a couple. She listened to our story, understood our vision, and used that insight to craft a heartfelt and personalized ceremony. The speech she wrote was thoughtful, touching, and perfectly captured the essence of our relationship. It felt like it was written just for us — because it was.
We always knew we wanted a small, intimate wedding by the waterfront, and Maureen knew exactly where to go. She even took the time to meet us there in advance, ensuring that everything would be just right on the big day. Her preparation and attention to detail gave us so much peace of mind.
On the day of the wedding, Maureen's calm presence made all the difference. Our family can be a bit chaotic, but she handled everything with grace and professionalism. She guided our family members, gently advising them on what to do and where to be, which made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. Her ability to orchestrate the flow of events allowed us to simply focus on each other and enjoy the moment.
If you’re looking for a Justice of the Peace who is organized, compassionate, and deeply committed to making your wedding day perfect, look no further than Maureen. She’s more than just an officiant — she’s a true partner in creating a beautiful, meaningful celebration

Through monthly meetings she helped us to prioritize the primary function of our wedding: to joyfully mark the start our married life and clarify what it really means to make vows to love and support each other.

In Maureen, we not only found an officiant but also a trusted advisor for years to come!

Our friends and family were impressed and asked if we knew her personally since she had gotten to know us so well. She stayed around after the ceremony to ensure all of our paperwork was signed and even helped sew my bustle up when I ripped it before our first dance. Highly recommend.

We cannot say enough great things about Maureen. We had multiple guests compliment us on our ceremony, and it was so personal that everyone thought Maureen must have been a family...
friend. She had us fill out a questionnaire both as a couple and separately, spent several months meeting with us to learn about us as a couple and made every effort to customize our ceremony to make our special day everything we could want. When the weather for our wedding was colder and windier than expected, she was able to shorten our ceremony while still keeping the essential components.
You won't regret working with Maureen!

Where to begin? There are a lot of opinions on how a wedding ceremony should be done. Some prefer a traditional church ceremony, some choose their internet-ordained mutual friend o...
r family member, or others just want a quick 10-minute ceremony from someone they hired online. My husband and I have been to about 15 weddings in 18 months, so we've seen it all. We decided we didn't want a stranger to marry us, but we also didn't want a friend without experience leading the ceremony. We didn't want a full religious ceremony, but we did want it to be spiritual. We didn't want a 45 or a 10-minute ceremony, but more like a 20-minute ceremony.
Then we found Maureen.
After one conversation with her over the phone, we knew it had to be here. Reverend Jeffries is warm, hilarious, compassionate, and wise. She helped us come together each month which served as a reminder as to why we are getting married, which was super important as the wedding planning chaos begins to take over your lives. We looked forward to our conversations with her each month, and the "homework" she gave us was a good excuse for a monthly date night.
The day of we had a friend up there with us performing the ceremony, rather than a stranger from online or an unexperienced family member. The ceremony was beautiful: personalized, intimate, spiritual, funny - everything we wanted. Afterward, we got so many compliments, and many asking how they could get in contact with her to hire her for their wedding.
If the above is what you're looking for, choose Reverand Maureen Jeffries! We're so glad we did.

Working with Rev Maureen was hands down the easiest part of planning my wedding!! Rev Maureen puts her heart into her work, she truly wants to get to know her couples to create a h...
eartfelt and personal ceremony. My husband and I had so many guests tell us how beautiful our ceremony was, they asked if we knew Rev Maureen personally, and in a way we did. We had spent meetings talking over our relationship, having conversations on perspectives, communication, and how we each felt most loved. She even looked over our vows and provided guidance in writing them! My favorite part was the “ring warming” ceremony where my mom and mother in law said a special prayer while holding our rings to bless them. Our ceremony was far beyond what my expectations were and it was the most joyful experience I had ever felt in my life!!! My husband and I learned so much about each other in our time spent with Rev Maureen, and we continue to apply the skills she gave us to our marriage. We are so grateful to have found Rev Maureen and feel so blessed to have worked with her in building the foundation of our marriage! THANK YOU REV MAUREEN!! ♥️

As other reviews read, Maureen is truly the best officiant—but she's also a friend! After talking to other officiants that didn't fit our non-religious needs, we spoke with Maureen...
and immediately knew she was the one we wanted for our special day. The frequent Zoom meetings allowed us to get to know each other on a deeper level, which made it feel like we've known her for years. She truly cares about all her couples and is passionate about her work. My husband was super nervous before the ceremony and Maureen helped calm his nerves. Our parents and guests were quick to comment on how wonderful of a ceremony it was and how Maureen was the perfect amount of funny, lighthearted and sentimental. We'll forever be grateful for choosing Rev. Jeffries to marry us!

10/10 HIGHLY recommend Maureen! Working with Rev. Maureen was an amazing experience. We met with her multiple times leading up to our wedding day to get to know each other and disc...
uss what our wants were for our wedding ceremony. Maureen challenged us to reflect on our relationship and why we want to marry each other. Her guidance and advice is something we will never forget.
Multiple guests are still raving about her during our ceremony! They loved how customized it was to us as a couple. Maureen has the perfect voice and is a phenomenal public speaker. Two guests told us she needs to record audio books because they love her voice! We have friends who are now booking and considering booking Maureen for their weddings in 2024.

Rev. Maureen will be an unforgettable person to us. An officiant tends to be the one person, "vendor," who gets overlooked, typically due to not fully understanding their impact. A...

Maureen gave us not only the gift of a beautiful, meaningful, and unique ceremony, but also advice and tools to help our marriage last a lifetime. We looked forward to our premarit...
al counseling sessions with her, where she took the time to get to know us intimately and helped facilitate important conversations about our future that gave us an extra boost of confidence going into our wedding. Both my husband and I come from religious families, and while we don't personally identify with a specific church at this time, Maureen wove in spiritual elements to our ceremony that made everyone happy. We feel so incredibly lucky to have met Maureen and we were able to have the perfect ceremony for us!

My husband and I honestly were very nervous about booking someone for our ceremony. We are not very religious and wanted a beautiful ceremony but were not sure where to find someo...
ne unless it was through a church. Maureen was the FIRST and ONLY person we talked to. From our first phone call with her she made us feel so at ease with our ceremony. I believe one of the first things I said on our phone call with her was "We want a beautiful ceremony without the religion". And oh my gosh did she deliver. She told us on our call that she officiates weddings for all different religions and ceremonies that are not religious at all. So many people came to us after the ceremony and told us how beautiful it was. We were also very nervous to write our own vows. When we booked Maureen it was right after we got engaged 2 years before our wedding date. Maureen met with us almost every month for those two years, which if you're not into that is totally optional. The "homework", from an online escape room to improve communication to helping us think of date nights we have never done before, helped us to in the end write our vows. If you are considering using Maureen as you officiant the answer should always be YES. I cannot recommend her enough. She truly goes above and beyond to make sure your ceremony is flawless.
