Annemarie Juhlian, Wedding Celebrant & Officiant

one (guests and participants) into a place of positivity that makes the ceremony super enjoyable! I had a friend tell me it was the most fun wedding he had been to since his own thirty years ago! Secondly, in the pre-wedding meetings, she really listens to the couple and their story, and incorporates it all into the ceremony making it very uniquely personal. Third, she knows how to roll with whatever happens (mic problems in our case) and was able to smooth things over like the unflappable professional that she is...and that, my friends, is what you want in an officiant, so book early - and p.s. listen to her recommendations for other vendors as she knows who is best in town and who can give you the most seamless wedding possible (every mother of the bride's dream)! Happy wedding planning everyone!

s we wanted. AnneMarie had ideas how to incorporate our son in the Ceremony and it worked out perfect. I’d highly recommend her to anyone!

eview, here you go: You can stop searching for your wedding officiant now, you just found her. While most of you are here looking for your wedding officiant, I recently hired Annemarie to be the officiant for my mother's memorial service. Two different types of ceremony, but the skill set required is the same and I'm certain my experience with Annemarie is relevant to you. My siblings and I recently lost our mother to Alzheimer's disease. We had a very short amount of time to pull everything together and were frankly daunted by the task at hand. Thank goodness we stumbled on Annemarie! I was initially drawn to Annemarie by the warm feeling I got from the photos of her on her website. I can confirm that the same warmth carries over in person. Annemarie was absolutely wonderful to work with. She gave us just the right amount of guidance to get the info she needed to put together the memorial service for our mother. I worried that I wouldn't be able to convey my feelings and memories in a way that would allow Annemarie to deliver a service that would properly honor the memory of our mother. But oh man, did she deliver! The service was absolutely incredible and was just the closure we needed to move on. Everyone I spoke with after the service made a comment on how it had been one of the nicest services they have ever attended. As a professional wedding photographer in my home state of Vermont. I work with wedding officiants every weekend and I just have to say that Annemarie is top-tier. We can't thank you enough Annemarie, you're the best!

knows what she's doing. She was very sweet and, at the same time, very straightforward and down to earth during the whole process - from our first contact to after the wedding day. We felt safe and in very good hands. She'll always be part of our history!

ly was her presence amazing at our wedding but she also was there for us every step of the way taking care of everything needed. Couldn’t have been happier with her services!

ands - that she understood our concerns and would help us navigate them (which she did, flawlessly!). Our ceremony was personal, authentically us, and unique. It turned out to be my favorite part of our wedding and a memory I'll always cherish. Received many compliments from guests as well. I appreciated her process of really getting to know us and making sure we had full input into the ceremony. She was one of the few vendors we hired who was proactive in her communications and accountable for dates we'd discussed. She also was very helpful during the rehearsal, commanding the room, making sure everyone knew what needed to happen, and ensuring we all felt comfortable. I'd recommend her to anyone!

of pre-wedding. My mom passed away 3 weeks for the wedding so I had a lot going on before the wedding day and the support we received from Annemarie was so amazing. She was able to customize our ceremony to add in an honoring of my mom and provided emotional support throughout one of the hardest times of my life leading up to the best day of my life! Additionally, Annemarie helped both my husband and I with our anxiety of having all of the attention on us during the ceremony! We were both SO nervous to have all eyes on us but Annemarie talked us through everything and made the ceremony perfect in every way. I honestly couldn’t recommend Annemarie enough. Thank you Annemarie for everything!

the ceremony was, and how much they enjoyed the energy that Annemarie brought to it. She was very flexible and available to us throughout the entire process, and we instantly felt so much trust in her from our very first phone call. Go with Annemarie -- you'll absolutely be glad that you did!

y last minute request I had. She took the time and care to make sure our ceremony was personalized and special to us as a couple. Her warmth and positive energy really helped make our ceremony exactly what we were looking for! Thank you so much Annemarie!

nny—she navigated between the light moments and the serious ones with ease. Before the ceremony itself, she was a prompt and clear communicator, flexible to work with, and guided us throughout the process. So grateful to have had Annemarie as our officiant!

nnemarie would make to our weddings. We had a small elopement in 2020 (thanks COVID) but she made it so intimate and handled all the legal details. That was special enough. But we were blown away for our ceremony this year! Annemarie’s specialty is she puts in tremendous effort to make the ceremony special and personalized. She talked us through the whole process, she interviewed family and friends, she really took the time to make our ceremony unique to us. I have never been to a wedding with a ceremony that was as laid back and fun but also so meaningful. She was also always available to answer questions, walk us through our rehearsal, and help to add a soothing vibe to both days! Believe me when I say that Anne Marie has to be hands down the best officiant out there.

ue to Covid). Well, breast cancer diagnosis sped things up since I had surgery coming up before our wedding. We somehow planned a beautiful, small wedding in less than 2 weeks and we were so honored to have Annemarie be our officiant. My good friend and wedding photographer had highly recommended Annemarie and I reached out to Annemarie and she took us on last minute, even when our wedding day (a week day) was a day off for Annemarie. But she was touched by our story and we are so grateful. Our guests couldn’t believe how personal our ceremony was, especially when we had planned the wedding last minute. Many of my friends indicated they cried during the wedding because it was so intimate and personal. Annemarie did an amazing job capturing our story and we are forever grateful. Our wedding was such a joyous occasion because of Annemarie and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a personal, intimate ceremony. She is the best!

ne and everyone! Long version: Annemarie was recommended to us by our wedding planner, and we couldn't have been happier. From the initial conversation where she got to know us, all the way to the end of the ceremony, Annemarie made sure to guide us and take away any stress involved. My wife wanted a "non-religious ceremony where I'm not the center of attention, I don't need to memorize anything, and takes less than 25 minutes". Annemarie's response? "I've got this!" And that she did! After our ceremony we had numerous guests tell us how great it was. We heard everything from "It sounded like she's known you for years" to "I never enjoy the actual ceremony and vows, but she had me interested from the first sentence all the way to the end". Annemarie also had the idea for us to have a keepsake adventure box from which we pull adventures every year on our anniversary, starting at the end of our ceremony. This will be something to look forward to every year, and a wonderful reminder of our wedding. For our entire cocktail hour, Annemarie was all anyone could talk about. Needless to say, we would recommend her to anyone without hesitation or reservations.

ceremony so unique and personal. Working with Annemarie was such a incredible experience. She’s super organized, punctual, professional and her personality is so bubbly it makes you know that she sincerely wants to create the best ceremony for you and your partner. She made it fun and created a ceremony that all our guests could connect with. It ended up raining during our ceremony and she handled everything so well and made us feel relaxed about it all. She did a fabulous job. I highly recommend working with Annemarie, she’s such a wonderful person.

es, and what you're truly looking for. In our case, we wanted a minimalist elopement with close to no frills and he process allowed us to communicate that. Annemarie was easy to reach, on time, realistic, and full of energy. You can tell she really loves what she does. Hiring her for your wedding would be a wonderful decision.

nemarie is sweet, thoughtful and completely in tune with what her couples are looking for in their wedding ceremony. We wanted our ceremony to be unique and completely centered on us, our experiences and our relationship - this is exactly what Annemarie put together for us. She is so engaging and so much fun! We had several guests come up to us and comment on what a special ceremony it was. Annemarie was SUCH a great addition!

do whatever felt right and she knocked it out of the park. She was extremely easy to work with, communicated well, and arrived day of right when she said she would. She helped take a lot of the stress out of the whole thing. I highly recommend using her!

ilies commented on how well she did.

hands. She is such a beautiful soul!

ay. We highly recommend Annemarie!

been on your side looking for someone to officiate your wedding , she is every great thing people wrote about and so much more. She is spunky, directive, thorough, creative, thoughtful, compassionate, personable and a true gem. If you want a ceremony that is truly personal... she is your gal. I grew up with parents that were more spiritual and my husband grew up catholic and Annemarie gave us the best ceremony ever to reflect both of our upbringings and what was important to us. I cannot even begin to tell you how many people came up to both my husband and I the day of our wedding and after our wedding saying that was absolutely the best wedding ceremony they have been at. I cannot recommend Annemarie enough, she played such a pivotal role in our day and we are so grateful.

makes you tick as a couple, and then crafting those insights into a beautifully personalized, touching, funny and incredibly special ceremony. We loved our experience with Annemarie, end to end. From the first moment we met, throughout the process of crafting our ceremony, to the day of our event, she engaged with grace, with humor, with empathy, and with the sincere desire to reflect our needs, interests and deep personal commitment in our ceremony. She helped us think deeply about our bond - why we are drawn to one another, what we value together, what we want out of our life ahead, and how we wanted to honor the integration of two pre-existing families. Our appreciation for one another and relationship in general is stronger as a result. We are incredibly grateful for that. Annemarie thinks on her feet, adlibbing and adjusting beautifully as the ceremony evolves. When an air raid siren kicked off (I kid you not!), knocking out all of our mics and announcing the start of a concert just down the hill from our venue, Annemarie rolled with it - acknowledging the craziness, encouraging us all to giggle and bringing us all back to the focus of the moment with levity and style. She laughed right along with us, was unruffled by the interruption and helped us realize what a funny, unexpected, and unique gift that moment was in terms of helping people remember our wedding! Beyond crafting and delivering our absolutely lovely ceremony, Annemarie guided us through both our rehearsal and the first part of our wedding day with expert care, even helping to calm our wedding day anxiety about the looming storm clouds and our outdoor ceremony by proactively coming to us with a fun rain plan that played into our sense of adventure and was lovingly conscious of avoiding ruining all of the time and energy we had put into getting ready (hello hair and makeup!). Annemarie is so good at what she does and has such an incredible gift with people. Our beautiful ceremony, the process of creating it, and her overall engagement with us (which is so much more than an officiant - she becomes your friend) far, far exceeded our expectations. I cannot recommend her highly enough. We are bound and determined to come with up ways to keep her in our lives ongoing!

emony and she kept on top of us to get things done, which we appreciated (we are pretty good procrastinators). At the rehearsal she took charge and we didn't need to do a thing but show up and listen! She was also a very calming presence for us during the ceremony, and I will forever remember her fondly when I picture my ceremony. Truly the perfect officiant!
