Your search should truly stop here, with Annemarie. There are no amount of words I could use to express how grateful I am that my husband and I found her and booked her for our wedding. Her reviews are what drew us in and I can tell you having ...
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!

tire process of planning our ceremony stress free and easy. In preparation for our wedding, Annemarie assigned both of us “homework” to get to know us better and to better know the details of our relationship. The questionnaires are VERY thorough, but once you see the finished product in the ceremony draft; you’ll understand that this is a person who makes a true effort to get you as a couple and it absolutely shows during the ceremony! We had multiple people tell us after the ceremony how fun, heartfelt, and joyous it was. We would hands down recommend her to anyone we know getting married.

Annemarie genuinely has the best interest of the couple at the center of everything she does and does everything she can to get to know you and your love story. We have received countless compliments about how personal and genuine our ceremony was and how enjoyable it was to watch and be a part of. That is in major part to Annemarie.

We could not have asked for a better officiant! Annemarie listened to all of our needs, helped us refine our ceremony and really made our ceremony reflect us as a couple. I cannot tell you how many guests came up to us afterward and said: "Wow!...
That was the best ceremony i've ever been too!" She made it memorable, funny and unique to us. Everyone had a great time, at what is normally the "boring" part of a wedding. She was also such a help with our families. During our run through the day before, the dads were being goof balls, the moms were balls of stress, I was exausted...She came in and took charge, got everyone focused and answered everyone's questions. The greatest part of that was she saw MY stress in dealing with our parents and took the reins so I didn't have too. Remember, she works for YOU! Not your parents. She is there to help direct, keep everyone in line, and make sure YOU are in the right head space for marrying your best friend and of course make your wedding ceremony perfect. She did it all with flying colors. We cannot speak more highly of her. If we did it all again, we would, without question, choose Annemarie again.

n our original script of our ceremony to a local coffee shop to review, we read it together and both of us cried. I knew then that you were going to make it incredible. Dave knew then that you were going to make it incredible. We wondered-if your orchestrated words and ideas taken from our work sheets evoked that response in us then, what kind of emotional messes were we going to be on the actual day? I knew all along that what you delivered for us was going to create the feelings we were looking to come away with from our ceremony. Yesterday, I recognized much of the written ceremony that I had reviewed-but there was more. And it only worked to further cultivate the feelings of love, togetherness, closeness, happiness, and family. As I write this to you now, back at home in Vancouver, I'm beginning to cry. In a very, very good way! Annemarie, you are so very gifted at what you do. Dave and I are so pleased with how you were with all of us yesterday. Dave has mentioned several times how grateful he was to have you know what to do to organize the details and make it all happen. You know the questions to ask to determine what it important to people and you have a way of happily making those things take place. You create the best possibilities for your couples and their families. We all talked about how much we loved your vibrance and energy last night and Abbie asked how I found you. Thank you so much for your kind words in your email today. I thought of you when we passed the sign for Camano Island on the way home and hope you made it home safely. I wondered for you if following marrying people, are some set apart for you? You are just so good at it. We will always be so grateful to you for making our day absolutely perfect.

We loved her idea of an Adventure Box for future vacations. OVERALL: We couldn't be more pleased with everything Annemarie provided leading up to the ceremony, the rehearsal and the day of. I would highly recommend her to any couple looking for a true professional.

Choosing Annemarie as our wedding officiant was one of the first big decisions my husband and I made during our planning process, and we could NOT be more thrilled with the result. Annemarie worked with us in such a friendly and personal manner...
. The style in which she works creates a special and intimate ceremony, so much so that it almost feels as if a close family friend or confidante is the person helping you marry your loved one. Annemarie made sure we were prepared beyond just the outline of the ceremony. She gave us clear expectations of what to expect at each step of the way. During the day of the wedding, she was cool as a cucumber (but also empathetic and totally ready to comfort one frazzled bride), and put real effort into making sure everything went off without a hitch. If you are looking for a run-of-the-mill officiant who can copy and paste words with little emotion or personality, Annemarie is not the choice for you. But if you want someone who is intelligent, kind, hilarious, and who truly cares about making sure your ceremony is perfect, then she is the perfect fit.

I called the County this morning and things have changed – yay! They will re-issue a blank ceremonial certificate to you if you bring in the one with the typo. The fee is $1 and I’m more than happy to cover this and any parking fee. I wish you and Jesse a beautiful wedding anniversary on August 20th.

I truly believe she is on a first name basis with Mother Nature, as it was late April, and the weather was sunny, unseasonably warm and Mount Rainier was loud and proud in the distance.

If you have found her website, heard about her in any way- look no further, Annemarie is the only one to shape your dream wedding, into the reality you want it to be! Karen and Donna April 28, 2014

I can honestly say that our wedding was seamless, spectacular, and memorable all thanks to Annemarie!!! She came to our rehearsal and took charge in the most gracefull way. She made sure everyone understood their role, the flow of the ceremony ...
and fixed any issues in the moment. She was understanding of our special requests and worked to create the most meaningful ceremony I've ever seen. She went above and beyond to make our day the most special day. I know I'm a bit biased about my own wedding but everyone that attended had so many wonderful things to say about our ceremony and specifically Annemarie. A handful of guests even requested her information for themselves or people they knew getting married soon. I'd reccommend her to anyone. Because I knew she understood our vision and was totally in control, I could relax and enjoy our wedding rather than try to explain things or take charge myself. I don't know what I would have done without her!

d Annemarie a chance to overview our expectations and check out each other’s personalities. As my then finance and I walked out of the meeting we both looked at each other and said “she’s perfect!” Over the next couple of months Annemarie was in contact with us giving us homework and gathering information and the end result was exactly the same as Annemarie in a word PERFECT! Shortly after the ceremony and in the days following both friends and family alike commented on how personal our ceremony was and just how wonderful our officiant was. Annemarie wrote and delivered a very personal, warm and inviting ceremony and as we sit and reflect on the day we feel so blessed to have had Annemarie as a part of our wedding day.

et her, I knew right away she was a perfect fit for us! Not only did she come across with the utmost professionalism, but we also found out that she dedicates all of her "free" time to rescuing and adopting disabled and senior citizen dogs! That was it for us, you could see and feel her compassion and also her sincerity when talking about the couples who she had married. Annemarie provided us with questionnaires, one for each of us and one we would both work on. I have to say, that experience was incredible, it was so wonderful to be able to tell her our story. During the entire process leading up to the big day, she always followed through and was always accessible and timely. We were excited when we saw her in action for the first time as she led the rehearsal, she was amazing! She rallied everyone which I can imagine isn't easy with a big wedding party, but she was perfect! She had everyone on point and walked us through the steps with ease and simplicity. On the big day, she arrived early to make sure we were all set and that everything was exactly the way we discussed! The ceremony was beyond our dreams magical! It was literally everything we could have ever imagined and more! Annemarie knew the story of my husband and I from the questionnaires, but it was her delivery! She was so engaging and sincere, it was as though she had known us forever! She had our guests so in tune yet she was completely focused on us! After our ceremony, my husband and I lost count of the number of family and friends that came up to us to compliment her; they fell in love with her as we did! There it no other like Annemarie, she is absolutely unbelievable!!! Thank you from the bottom of our heart for everything!!!

of each other while she was working on our ceremony. Annemarie was always available to talk and encouraged us to ask her for anything. She is truly a wondrous soul and I can't imagine her not being a part of our day. Her ceremony was intimate and thought provoking and the way she commanded the 150+ guests was astonishing. Her love of dogs is admirable and the way she soothed our golden retriever at the ceremony was heart warming. I can, without a doubt, say Annemarie made our wedding ceremony and I can't recommend her enough. We've made a life long friend and are so grateful she was able to marry us.

he had come highly recommended from our photographer and my mom found similar glowing reviews for Annemarie on the internet. We met with Annemarie in person very soon after I first contacted her and decided quickly that she would be a great match! She is bubbly, personable, detail-oriented, as kind as can be and very professional. We discussed our vision for the ceremony and our expectations of her, plus her expectations of us so she could craft a personalized ceremony. After filling out the worksheets she had provided us, she sent the first draft for our ceremony. There were so many things we loved right away. We wanted a short, yet sincere ceremony with some humor added in. Any adjustments we wanted to make, she made them right away. She would, however, offer some guidance if there were aspects we wanted to change that would negatively affect our ceremony and I was so appreciative of that as I am not a ceremony expert, that is what we hired Annemarie for. My biggest kudos to Annemarie is that she answers calls/emails within minutes! And, as a bride, having vendors reply promptly is of the utmost importance. I was always confident that I could contact Annemarie at any point and hear back immediately. Additionally, she handled our rehearsal like a rock star: she was in charge, confident, professional and even kept the 6 groomsmen focused...no easy task :) I HIGHLY recommend Annemarie - you will not be disappointed!

udge, and a rather pricey one! Annemarie certainly attempted to personalize as much as possible for the ceremony. We filled out extensive worksheets and had due dates but she was quite responsive and flexible about those with my very busy husband which he was grateful for. She was not flexible with our rehearsal time and that was difficult because everyone from out of town, taking time off of work and two of our participants own their own businesses. She was great about including my 9 year old stepson without making him feel uncomfortable while still feeling like he had a role and was pleased with himself and us for it. The downside is she was aggressively argumentative with us about what we wanted from the ceremony and even things out of her realm, like the photos. More importantly, in the weeks after the ceremony we received a number of complaints from our guests that she had accused them of stealing her purse. We had the entire venue reserved for our wedding so it was a private party. No one stole anything. One guest had simply moved her purse to the more secure family location believing it did in fact belong to a family member. My guests were so horrified that no one told me day of and I have since spent time apologizing to many of my guests. I recommend screening thoroughly for a good officiant.

The group photo: knowing your venue so well, I was concerned for the safety of all high-heeled ladies going up and down steel grate stairs that I knew lay ahead. I wanted to prevent injury or fall by suggesting a lovely, safer area for your post-ceremony group photo. For any sense you had that I was pushing too hard on this, my sincere apology. And yes, I was alarmed when my purse was gone, and I do recall raising my voice over the small group of people in the foyer who were not yet downstairs for the group photo to ask if someone had seen/moved it. Please know that I take everything to heart and reflect on all of it. I care deeply in every way about you and all my couples. Best wishes to you, your husband and stepson as you move forward in life as a new family.

All of our other vendors said they loved her when they'd ask who we had officiating. All of our guests said it was the best ceremony they'd ever heard. It just feels great knowing it's special and that no one else is going to have the same thing said at their wedding. She is so great to work with, and always there if you have any questions. I believe she does some counselling as well but we did not do that. She is really just a wonderful person and I highly recommend her.

n of who we are as a couple. Annemarie worked with us from the very beginning not only to fulfill our vision, but to have us explore a deeper, more profound vision for what our ceremony could be. We had been together 17 years, and Annemarie knew that we had experienced so much in that time that our wedding was an opportunity to celebrate our years together, as well as the next chapter of our lives as a married couple. She understood that the words we used in the creation and delivery of our ceremony would create the experience for us and everyone in attendance, and she worked with us to make sure that each and every sentence was designed in the spirit of fulfilling our vision. She invited some of our friends and family to contribute their own sentiments about us as a part of the ceremony, which she read aloud, and that added such a deep sense of family, community and love to the experience. We wanted this to be a celebration of our lives together, but also to have each and every person in attendance leave being touched, moved and inspired about the relationships that matter most to them in their lives, and Annemarie accomplished this, and so much more! Several friends said this was the most beautiful and inspiring wedding they had ever attended. My husband and I are even more in love, and our life together is transformed and even more joyous as a direct impact of the partnership we had the privilege to create with Annemarie, and words cannot fully express the thankfulness and gratitude we have for having met her and for the gift of having her officiate at our ceremony.
