Annemarie Juhlian, Wedding Celebrant & Officiant

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!

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.

iend. 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.

ur 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! ❤️

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!

and had really great recommendations. She truly is a dream to work with!!

rt of it. Highest recommendation!

tographer 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.

ceremony were executed exactly how they hoped. Thanks for your work, Annemarie!

forever grateful for her.

est 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.

ed. 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!

ebrate their unique love. Definitely recommend the couples coaching!

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.

were gushing about how it was the best ceremony they had ever been to.

the day of! She figured out exactly what we wanted and created an intimate ceremony. She is the best!

at will hold guests’ attention. Annemarie thoughtfully and carefully crafted the perfect ceremony for us with our questionnaire responses; she even advised us on how to address delicate family situations and made suggestions for a special keepsake/tradition to our ceremony. We requested that while we didn’t want our ceremony to feel stuffy, we wanted to make it clear that we take our vows seriously. Annemarie delivered with the perfect balance of solemnity with light humor. We can’t recommend Annemarie enough! She truly made our wedding day incredibly special.

aring and organized. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and created the most beautiful ceremony. It was everything I ever dreamed of having and more. All our guests said that it wasn't the cookie cutter ceremony. I highly recommend Annemarie.

nized and helpful with all the paperwork and marriage license needs. We are very lucky we found her!

w I wanted my friends and family to feel that same thing. I looked online as I tend to read reviews before making decisions and Annemarie had raving reviews. I reached out to her...she was prompt, thorough and I could really feel she has a passion for what she does. My fiancé and I met up with her and we loved her from the start. She really takes the time, care and attention to detail to make your ceremony absolutely yours. She gets to know you as a couple. My ceremony couldn’t have been more perfect. I am still getting the nicest compliments as everyone felt our love and love is beautiful. If you want a one of a kind ceremony Annemarie is your girl! Married 05.05.18

..I felt within an hour of meeting like we knew her forever. Many blessings and thank yous for all of your hard work & most of all, your time!🙏🏻❤️

love Annemarie as well. We just got our wedding video and seeing the ceremony again brings back so many amazing memories. Definitely reach out to Annemarie for your wedding and you will not be disappointed!

d by the detail she took to great such a great ceremony. She was wonderful to work with and we are so happy that we chose her to officiate our wedding. Thank you, Annemarie!

wonderful to work with and we are so happy that we chose her to officiate our wedding!

he created a thoughtful, personalized ceremony that beautifully captured our relationship and put our story into words, often better than we would have been able to do ourselves. Her warmth, grace and expertise impressed all of our guests and put us at ease during the ceremony. Looking back on our wedding day, we wouldn’t have changed a thing about the ceremony that Annemarie created. We would highly recommend Annemarie to be part of your wedding celebration! Kylee and Brenna

wanted and then some. It was important to my husband and I that everyone who was attending our ceremony feel welcome, involved, lighthearted, happy, and that there be some laughter. People today, 3 months after our wedding, are still talking about how much they loved our ceremony and that Annemarie had done such a wonderful job. I highly recommend Annemarie to everyone. She was such a large part of our wedding and she made everything perfect. She is extremely personable, supportive, energetic, and she gives it her all. Annemarie went above and beyond for us in so many ways. I cannot thank her enough, and I hope that everyone reading this review decides to work with Annemarie. She truly is wonderful.

amilies do not speak English, so we translated the text of the ceremony and printed it as booklets for our families to keep. At the rehearsal and on the day of the wedding Annemarie made sure that everything ran smoothly, and we could simply enjoy saying our vows to each other and celebrate our day! Some of the guests teared up a little during the ceremony, and told us later that the ceremony was beautiful, warm and very intimate. After the wedding day, Annemarie mailed all the paperwork to the county vary fast, so we had the marriage certificate registration with the county within a week after the ceremony. Thank you, Annemarie!

guest ask me, "Where did you find your officiant?! She was amazing!" You won't regret having Annemarie as a part of your special day!

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. Thank you, Annemarie. For everything.

got so lost in each other and in the moment. We can't thank you enough for making it so special. We are still getting so many complements. We hear that people could feel the genuine love and joy shared between Vince and I and the two families. I have a good friend of my moms who is photographer and has been to many weddings say that our ceremony was the best she has been to and that she has never been to one that was so heartfelt. We also have some people say that it allowed them to reflect on their own marriages and remember why they made a commitment to their significant others in the first place. I tear up as I write this because I am truly thankful for you and the beautiful ceremony you officiated. Thank you for bringing to families together and for making our ceremony one that will be remembered for years to come!

remony she wrote and the way in which she delivered it on our big day was even more magical than I could have dreamed of! The process of planning a wedding can be overwhelming, and I was able to completely hand off my entire ceremony to Annemarie and not even worry about how it would go. She will be one of the best decisions you make for your wedding!

n reached out to some of our family to include their words. She is very experienced and will make you feel completely at ease every step of the way. She is the BEST officiant! Please work with her!

ent, original - and made us feel super comfortable. My fiance-at-the-time and I discussed the emotion and feeling we wanted our guest to have. We truly believed Annemarie would deliver that. After meeting her it was obvious - this was the woman who was going to marry us! She truly is a "momma bear" and she took care of everything beautifully leading up to the day and even the day of. REHEARSAL: She led our group with ease. She worked really well with our Day-of Coordinator (Eventful Moments). The communication was effortless. WEDDING DAY: The day of was AMAZING. She made sure that Chris and I were mentally ready for the ceremony. She was caring, excited yet calm, and proceeded with grace. Our ceremony went off without a snag! She even played into the lovely trains we had go by and the glorious rain that fell during the ceremony. People even asked us after the ceremony if we knew Annemarie or if she was a friend of ours. Nope! She's just that good! CEREMONY: She sent us questions prior to complete, reached out to our parents and even sent us a draft. It was amazing! We only had a few tweaks to the ceremony. 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.

. Our entire family was impressed and jealous they didn't have her at their weddings. She really has a big heart and it shows in her service. She had the ability to make my now husband feel comfortable, which is not easy to do. And be mama bear when we needed her most. If you're shopping for a officiant stop here. You wont be disappointed at all.

emony that you wrote and performed for us! We had multiple people tell us our ceremony was the most beautiful, personal and genuine wedding ceremony they've ever attended! In fact, my Uncle (74 years old) said he's been to a lot of weddings over the years and ours was second to none! You truly exceeded our expectations and provided a wedding ceremony that we'll cherish forever! Thank you so much for the time and effort you spent preparing our ceremony and also for presenting the ceremony in the most flawless and beautiful way possible! You're very talented and we're fortunate and thankful for your services!

. 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.

y people but the way she crafted our vows made it so beautiful. Besides all that, she is the most professional person I've ever met and really helped corral everyone and keep us focused on why we were all there. So glad she was part of our day!

zing job learning about the couple and create a ceremony that is special to you. It's been 6 months after our wedding and people are still talking about how amazing our ceremony was. We LOVED working with Annemarie and she is truly the best!

. She asks A LOT of questions about who you are, who your partner is, who you are together. But goodness gracious, it's WORTH IT. Our ceremony was amazing. There wasn't a dry eye in the hall after we'd said our vows and walked back down the aisle. Everyone was moved by her understanding of who we are as people and who we are as a couple. Months later, we still have friends and family telling us how they were touched by "that amazing officiant's thoughtful ceremony." If you want someone who will take the time to truly get to know you and your partner and will do everything she can to give you exactly what you want for a ceremony, do yourself a favor and contact Annemarie.

e couldn’t agree more. The selfie idea was a total hit. Thank you for being a part of our special day and helping us making it truly memorable!

authentic. Annemarie’s process of developing our ceremony involved interviewing each of us separately and providing unique options for the final ceremony. To capture items that we may have missed about each other she reached out to our friends and family and included statements from them in the ceremony. Her craftsmanship of the ceremony was so fun - she not only took us on a journey to capture events from the day we met to the day we got married, but also brought our guests along on for the journey as well when she delivered the ceremony. She radiated warmth and genuine thoughts throughout the entire ceremony.  Thank you Annemarie for helping us capture our love for each other in a unique and fun way that was totally us!   --- Lacee and Bryce “BLT”

remony fun but sweet, lighthearted but engaging. We couldn't have imagined a nicer ceremony, and she was so incredibly easy to work with.

Thanks again sweet Annemarie for making us smile and may God continue to bestow His infinite blessings to you and your family. xoxo Carolyn & John

ofessional and dedicated. She has a happiness and curiosity to her and you can tell she loves what she does. She didn't just book us and leave us wondering. She was with us every step of the way. We were married on August 14th. Our wedding day wasn't perfect (we didn't expect it to be) and we had a couple of bumps in the early afternoon. When Annemarie arrived, I heard from my Maid of Honor that she stepped into a situation that could have been a problem and with my parents, figured out a solution. She also made one important last minute change to our ceremony set-up that would be much better and at the end of the day, people loved our ceremony. Most of all, we LOVED our ceremony. It was touching, personal and so us. Our wedding day was just lovely overall and Annemarie was a big part of it. Thank you, Annemarie - we love you! Maria and Josh

day of the rehearsal dinner. She is that good! Annemarie has this incredible way of putting you at ease and making the whole process easy and fun. She created a beautiful, emotional, funny, unique and touching ceremony for us, it was everything we wanted and more! She has the most creative ideas to incorporate to make your ceremony unique to you and your personality. The things she came up with were absolutely incredible! Our guests laughed with us, cried with us, and came up to us after the ceremony to tell us that it was one of the most inspiring and beautiful ceremonies that they had seen. She captured us as a couple, as parents (my husband had children), and as a family perfectly. He energy is infectious, her personality even comes through in her e-mails! Annemarie really loves what she does and it shows in what she puts together. I feel so blessed and lucky to have had her as our officiant!

the ceremony be light and cheerful, and she ensured that it was. While the ceremony wasn't flawless, she was dedicated to creating an amazing, unique ceremony, and put her heart into it every step of the way.

d frequently responds the same day if not within the hour. We were very confident she would be able to handle any situation that came up. We could not have asked for a better officiant. Thank you so much for marrying us Annemarie!

ceremony and who didn't mind doing a non-traditional/non-religious ceremony and she fit the bill 110%. She took our questionnaire responses and crafted an amazing ceremony that had people laughing, crying, and smiling and feeling beyond welcomed. Our guests couldn't stop asking where we had found her and how much they loved the ceremony, and how they had never seen such a beautiful and well crafted/unique ceremony. She did a phenomenal job taking over when she arrived and everything went off so smoothly that you would never be able to tell that we hadn't had a real runthrough. If you're looking for an amazing officiant with a huge heart and a true love for crafting a handtailored wedding ceremony that is impossible to forget, Annemarie is the one to pick! We both wholeheartedly recommend her and are beyond thrilled with her role in our wedding day.

ial words and truly captured who we are as a couple. Scott and I will always be grateful for the amazing day you gave us. My advice to anyone getting married in the Seattle area is to put your trust in Annemarie. She will guide you through the process with an amazing attention to detail and is always there to respond quickly to any questions or concerns. I’m so happy we found Annemarie for our special day! - David and Scott

teady demeanor that felt more like a "friend" rather than vendor. This was special to us as the theme to our wedding was comfort; our goal was life-long bonding. The details to our wedding was extremely important and while we got a lot of compliments on our details, we received most of our compliments around our ceremony and officiant. The best compliment was being told that it was clear to our guest that Annemarie knew us and didn't even need her notes. She was easily one of our most special memories throughout the entire process. We will cherish her spirt and service forever.

oth glad we did. We couldn't have asked for anyone better to help us start the next chapter in our lives. Annemarie's work was brilliant, beautiful, and perfect. If you want someone who is excellent at what she does down to every detail, then Annemarie is for you. She is, in my opinion, the picasso of officiants. The ceremony she wrote and delivered was a work of art. We are proud and humbled to have chosen Annemarie, she is an amazing officiant and an even better person.

ith Annemarie, she was energetic and funny and we could all tell she really loves what she does. I will recommend her to friends in a heart beat.

ase. She even took amazing photos of us following the ceremony. We have only great things to say about our experience and we highly recommend Annemarie! She will make your day extra special!

e asked us how long we had known because when she read our vows it was like she had known us from day one of our relationship. She has a great sense of humor but yet knows when to be serious. She is well worth the money and so much more!! Thank you Annemarie for making our day so "Happily Ever After."

ork with questions to help her get to know us better, and personalize our ceremony to fit our individual personalities. She sent us a bunch of potential variants and was very receptive to our feedback. She also has a very charming stage presence, which really works to put the wedding party and guests at ease and make the whole thing more fun and less nerve-wracking. She's not the cheapest officiant you can find by a long shot, but worth every penny if you are looking to add a more personalized touch to your ceremony. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without her!

effort she spend crafting a personalized ceremony is apparent. All evening guests were coming up and telling us that it was the best wedding ceremony they've been part of - and we agree 100%. We can not thank her enough! Hiring Annemarie to lead your wedding ceremony will be the best decision you make!

the way. Annemarie offered ideas and guidance which were perfect! After our ceremony, several people came up to us complimenting Annemarie! "She was great!" "Her presence was amazing!" Etc, etc. If you are looking for someone to truly be "in it" with you, Annemarie is the one! She's amazing and we are so thankful for her!! Becky & Susan

"freaked-out/nervous groom." There's reverence in her ceremony, but it's customized to fit you as a couple. Essentially, the perfect balance. Wordy, romantic talk aside, her prices are reasonable as well. Whether it's your first wedding or your fourth, Annemarie is your officiant!

constructed a beautiful ceremony. We loved how to the point she was, and we got many compliments from our guests on the day of the wedding as to how genuine, loving, and light-hearted our ceremony and vows were (no stuffiness). She truly made our big day special, and we are extremely thankful for the time she put into it!

ent and emotions we wanted to create, and the special touches that were important to us. She created a unique ceremony that was true to us in every way. She allowed us to give as much feedback/input as we wanted and guided us every step of the way. I knew I was in good hands and the ceremony was perfect. After the ceremony, all of our guests raved about Annemarie! They said she was the best officiant they ever witnessed. She was articulate, energetic, and sincere. She made the ceremony a unique experience instead of the same old rote phrases you hear at every wedding. She made it fun! We all felt the emotions of the day! I HIGHLY recommend Annemarie to anyone and everyone who wants a unique ceremony that is far more than the average exchange of vows, who wants an officiant who is there every step of the way with guidance and encouragement, and who wants a friend after it all is said and done. She is amazing. (Note: Our wedding was 2 hours away from Seattle. Annemarie arrived early and ready to go! :) )

oy to know. My fiancé and I met with her for our initial visit which instantly felt like we were talking with a longtime friend. She is so warm, energetic, authentic and passionate about what she does and who she marries. We were immediately attracted to her personality and when we left our meeting that evening, both my fiancé and I knew we wanted her to marry us. We were not disappointed and you will not be either. We put our full trust in her and our ceremony was beautiful and loving and touching and fun, but not at all disrespectful to the specialness of a wedding. It was beyond what I hoped for! So many of our guests commented over and over about how fabulous Annemarie was and how perfect our ceremony was, and how much it truly spoke of Jim and I, as if she knew us for our whole relationship. She created the ceremony I didn’t even know I wanted, it was absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much Annemarie!
