Annemarie Juhlian, Wedding Celebrant & Officiant

Oh my goodness! My wife and I were so grateful to have had Annemarie do our Wedding Ceremony this August! She did my mom's memorial service a year ago, and she did such a a beautiful job talking about my mom. While looking online with my wife for the perfect non-denominational officiant, her name was on the top of the list! And i didn't have to say a word to my wife. We knew it was a no brainer to hire her! So Thank You Anne, Thank You Sooooo Much! You made things really easy on the big day! For any couple looking for the perfect wedding officiant, Annemarie is it, you're in for a lot of fun!

Annemarie, She was the perfect person to lead our ceremony of love and joy. The love my wife and I share comes from the depths of our core. We wear our heart on our sleeves and express our deepest love for one another openly. Annemarie made our day feel as special to her as it was us, and that because it was. A service was paid for, but overflowing love was received. If you want someone who can express the gratitude, the love, the appreciation you have for your partner and for those loved ones supporting your union, THIS IS WHO YOU HIRE! Bottom line and I dare anyone to stand on a podium across from me and debate different (👊🏻* fist bumps Annemarie “you the bomb.com!). You gain a guide of love, someone worthy to bring together your union, and most of all… a friend. I thank God for brining her into our lives and know she is a blessing to all who work with her. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Annemarie. All the love in the world, God bless you. Cody Brown The happiest man alive Who married the most wonderful woman alive

We are so grateful to have had Annemarie take us on the journey towards “We do”. So many people remarked that they found the ceremony portion of our wedding so incredibly meaningful. That is mainly owing to Annemarie, and her skills in guiding the proceedings with both gravitas and grace. Bringing a blended family together. It should also be noted that Annemarie pushed us to truly think about what we both cherish & love about each other, and put that into our vows. Our day wouldn’t have been the same without her!

Annemarie did an amazing job officiating our small but personal ceremony! Our ceremony was semi-traditional but completely personalized, and I received nothing but compliments from family (including my parents) about how the entire ceremony was so appropriately "us." Without a wedding coordinator, she took charge day-of and kept everyone on track, and allowed me to focus on all the right things on my wedding day - i.e., getting married! Highly recommend if you are looking for a take-charge professional who will make your ceremony personal and beautiful!

We are very happy with finding the right person, Annemarie, for our ceremony, the friendly and specialized preparation, and the support in all the nervous moments of the day. Thank you!

She was absolutely amazing, she married my parents years ago, and just married my husband and and I. She made it so personal and spoke so beautifully. She helped me (the bride) before the ceremony get all my kids and family where they were supposed to be, and just so kind, and funny. We HIGHLY recommend her. ❤️

Our elopement to Seattle wouldn't have been possible without the Annemarie's expertise. From our initial Zoom interview to wedding day, Annemarie provided invaluable insight and made our special day one to remember. She was especially responsive to emails and even helped us navigate finding the (perfect) photographer and venue. We'd recommend her without hesitation!

We found Annemarie through our local bridal vendor websites and were looking for an officiant who would handle our wedding ceremony with thought, care, and grace. As a queer couple, it was so important for us to find the right person, and one of us is hard of hearing so absolutely needed to find someone with a great tone and who would have the patience to repeat themselves. When we jumped on a call with her, we immediately knew it was a match and she provided us with some ‘homework’ that would help formulate the parts of the ceremony. This allowed us to personalize a ton of the ceremony and retain the traditional parts that we wished to keep. During our rehearsal, she eased so much of our nerves and worked well with our wedding day of coordinator (JBK Weddings) to smooth out the timeline. On the day-of wedding, Annemarie was on time and brought a ton of warmth that radiated through the ceremony! We loved how much of her energy meshed with ours and she was incredibly thoughtful throughout the entire ceremony. (Thank you Annemarie!)

Annemarie was amazing and made the day even more special for us. Everything from the planning to the execution to the photos was perfect. Could not recommend her more highly.

Weighing in as the MOB for a July 2022 wedding - we were lucky to have Annemarie officiate our daughter's wedding as she is the busiest officiant in all Seattle! And why is that? To begin with, she has a warm and fun personality that puts everyone (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!

AnneMarie was a wonderful officiant! She met with us for a rehearsal as well as communicated several times with us before wedding to ensure we have all the details. Our Ceremony was wonderful, both thoughtful, romantic as well as funny - just as 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!

Professional wedding photographer here. The first thing you should know is that as a wedding professional for over a decade, I have VERY high standards when it comes to working with others in this industry. If you want the short version of my review, 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!

Annemarie performed the ceremony we had planned for and dreamed about: true, simple and heartfelt. Many guests commented on how beautiful our ceremony was, and we were so happy with our wedding. She was extremely professional, very punctual and 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!

Annemarie took care of us like family. She had the most genuine, warm and direct embrace. Our wedding would not have been the same if we didn’t have her there. She clearly and perfectly projected us as a couple to our family and friends. Not only 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!

Annemarie was the most incredible officiant we could have asked for. We had concerns around different family backgrounds/expectations for the ceremony, and during our first call with Annemarie she immediately made us feel like we were in good hands - 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!

I can’t even begin to describe how amazing Annemarie was for our wedding! Not only did she make our ceremony so perfect that all of our guests were asking where we found her but she was also there for my husband and I through the entire process 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!

Annemarie was such a breath of fresh air and truly wonderful to work with. She helped us create a ceremony that was heartfelt, humorous, personable, and just uniquely "us". We got many compliments from our guests about how unique and enjoyable 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!

We are so happy we went with Annemarie for our special day! She was communicative, flexible, empathetic, and very eager to make sure we were comfortable and pleased throughout the whole process. She was also able to beautifully accomodate a very 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!

I can't tell you how many compliments we received from our guests regarding Annemarie! So many of them told us how this was the first wedding they've actually cried at and how tailored the ceremony was to us as a couple. She was charming and funny—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!

Do not hesitate to hire Annemarie for your wedding! She is WONDERFUL and we are still hearing from our friends and family how amazing our ceremony was. She truly made our wedding day ceremony vision come to life! :)

Annemarie is amazing! When you are looking for an officiant, you don’t always understand what they can add. Sure you can get married by anyone ordained or licensed to perform weddings. But we had no idea when we were looking what a difference Annemarie 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.

Annemarie is the best Seattle officiant and has the kindest heart. This is clearly her passion and it shows. My husband and I had an impromptu wedding due to my breast cancer diagnosis (we had been engaged for 9 months but hadn’t made plans due 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!

Short version: I would agree with everything said in all the other 5-star reviews. In fact, of all the things to worry about with a wedding, Annemarie made sure that the actual ceremony was not one of them. We would highly recommend her to anyone 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.

Annemarie is the best! Having Annemarie officiate our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. She is amazing at what she does. She guided us through the whole process with such ease. She really did the work to get to know us and make our 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.

We hired Annemarie as we saw she was highly reviewed and available to wed us in North Cascades National Park. She was quite phenomenal to work with. Annemarie takes her time and puts in a lot of work to make sure she gets to know you, your values, 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.

We booked Annemarie to officiate our wedding and we could not have been happier with our experience working with her. Her communication was excellent throughout the planning process and she took the time to really get to know us as a couple. Annemarie 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!

Annemarie married my wife and me on 10/10/2020. She was amazing to work with! Our whole wedding ceremony really came together super quickly and we were fortunate that she was available because she truly made it memorable. We gave her license to 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!

Annemarie did an amazing job as our officiant! She kept in contact before the ceremony and was very responsive to all our requests. She makes sure to get to know you as the couple to incorporate our personalities into the ceremony. Both our families commented on how well she did.

Annemarie is an incredible individual! She went above and beyond to ensure our small wedding ceremony was perfect. She added in so many beautiful details. From the moment I connected with her on the phone, I knew my wife and I would be in good hands. She is such a beautiful soul!

Annemarie was the best, she went above and beyond our expectations! She was very professional and responsive. Everything went so well. Highly recommend her!

Annemarie made our Covid wedding fantastic! Only being allowed to have 5 total people attend (including us) was not our original plan, but turned out perfectly. She worked with us to set up Zoom so the rest of our family could see our special day. We highly recommend Annemarie!

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.

Pick up the phone right now and schedule a meeting with this amazing woman! You have found your officiant! Annemarie is a very special lady, and you'll know it in your very first meeting. She will invest in you - getting to know you and what 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!

Annemarie is simply the best. She was the first officiant we met with and we immediately knew we were going to be taken care of, so we didn't even need to meet with anyone else. We felt truly special with the amount of work she put into our ceremony 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!

Annemarie is truly special. We hired her for our wedding last weekend and couldn’t have been happier with our decision. My husband and I knew the first time we met her that she was the person we wanted to lead our wedding, and she made the entire 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 is a gem. I felt an instant connection to her the first moment we met, a connection that continues today. We were giggling and ganging up on my husband almost immediately into our first meeting. She's not just an officiant, she's a friend. A lifelong friend. I can't imagine having another person officiating our wedding. Call Annemarie, meet with her, and see if she's a good fit for you. I promise you won't regret it.

We loved our experience with Annemarie! My husband and I couldn’t have chosen anyone better to marry us. Annemarie is professional, accommodating, and best of all writes beautifully ceremonies suited to the couple. Our ceremony truly spoke to our relationship. Annemarie serves as a day of coordinator and was there to make sure everything flowed effortlessly. Our ceremony was absolutely perfect because of Annemarie. I would recommend her services again and again, thank you so much Annemarie! ❤️

Annemarie is AMAZING! At our first meeting, even before we chose Annemarie as our officiant, she asked us so many questions about our wedding and gave us recommendations for other vendors. She told us that she wanted us to have the best day we could have, whether we chose her or not. We ended up meeting with and choosing all of the vendors that she recommended! 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. Her upbeat and positive energy won us over and we can not imagine a better officiant out there!

It was such a pleasure working with Annemarie! My husband and I chose to have a non-religious ceremony, so Annemarie created the most special and intimate ceremony we could ever dream of! She communicated very well, listened to all of our wants and had really great recommendations. She truly is a dream to work with!!

Annemarie is the consummate professional. Her process is deeply personal and collaborative in crafting a ceremony that beautifully tells YOUR story. Our friends and family are still talking about how touched and excited they were to be a part of it. Highest recommendation!

My husband and I were planning an engagement party that was actually a surprise wedding, and our good friend who was going to act as our officiant was diagnosed with cancer and not well enough to make it. I was given Annemarie's name by our photographer a week before the wedding - A WEEK! Talk about stressful! Annemarie was able to get to the heart of who we are as a couple and write a beautiful ceremony that was special and specific to us in that short period of time. She was also an amazing sport, pretending to be my friend from culinary school and fooling our friends and family left and right, all the way up to the fake toast she called that was actually the beginning of the ceremony. I cannot say enough about how amazing Annemarie is, and we both feel so fortunate to have had her as a part of our crazy, happy day.

I recently coordinated a wedding where Annemarie was the officiant. She knows how to get the job done and done well! As the coordinator, I particularly appreciated how she worked with the couple and their family to make sure all elements of the ceremony were executed exactly how they hoped. Thanks for your work, Annemarie!

I wish I could offer more stars for superior service. Annemarie is a professional who is passionate and caring. Our service was personalized and thoughtful. Annemarie took the time to get to know us and really make our ceremony special. We are forever grateful for her.

Annemarie was the Officiant at my Husband and I's Wedding. We eloped to Seattle from Tennessee in May 2018. Annemarie was so responsive to all of our questions. I think the best part about Annemarie is from the very beginning she gave us honest feedback about our planning. Specifically when it came to the venue, coming from out-of-state, we did not know all the best locations and could not tour ahead of time. She gave honest feedback and tips for selecting a venue. She crafted a beautiful and personal ceremony, which was important to us because we were having a small wedding. She assisted with the licensing and everything we needed. On the day of, she arrived early and did everything to ensure our ceremony started on time and went off without any issues. We cannot thank Annemarie enough for creating a beautiful ceremony and you will not go wrong with selecting Annemarie.

I was MOH at my best friends wedding a couple of years ago and Annemarie was the officiant of her wedding. After the ceremony, I knew I wanted to hire her when I got married. She was the first vendor we booked after my boyfriend and I got engaged. She is a truly unique officiant and there isn't anyone else like her! She takes the time to really get to know you and understand your relationship in order to create a really special and personalized ceremony which is exactly what she did for us. I couldn't be happier to have had her as our officiant and would recommend her to everyone!
