Annemarie Juhlian, Wedding Celebrant & Officiant

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!

Hiring Annemarie as our officiant was the easiest decision we made when planning our wedding. She’s professional, respectful, & really fun. She’s very authentic & will take special care to get to know her couples so she can best represent & celebrate their unique love. Definitely recommend the couples coaching!

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.

Annemarie was absolutely the best! Upon meeting her, I knew that she was a perfect fit. She took the time to get to know us deeply and created a touching, joyous, and beautiful ceremony. Not only is it the most memorable day of my life, guests were gushing about how it was the best ceremony they had ever been to.

Annemarie is amazing! My husband and I immediately felt comfortable with her. She spent time getting to know us and our vision for our wedding. She's extremely thorough and personal. She kept us calm throughout the process and was fantastic the day of! She figured out exactly what we wanted and created an intimate ceremony. She is the best!

My husband and I felt immediately comfortable with Annemarie just minutes into our initial meeting and knew she would be the perfect person to officiate our wedding ceremony. She has a warm way about her that draws everyone in and a gravitas that 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.

I read many websites trying to find an officiant. There was just something about Annemarie's that I kept coming back to hers. From my first contact, I knew that I wanted her. I didn't even talk to anyone else. Annemarie is professional, warm, caring 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.

Annemarie helped make our day so very perfect. We didn't exactly know what we wanted out of our ceremony and gave he a vague idea. She was able to intuitively put together the best ceremony for us and we are so grateful. Annemarie was also organized and helpful with all the paperwork and marriage license needs. We are very lucky we found her!

I love this woman. She is really the best officiant I could have asked for. She took great care of us and I had naught to worry. Such a great personality as well.

Annemarie is an absolute delight! Where do so even begin...I had gone to a good friends wedding last year and their ceremony was so touching that both myself and my fiancé at the time were in tears. We felt their love and once I felt that I knew 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

So grateful for AnneMarie!! For living in a different city, our chats were easy & always uplifting! Our wedding was so personalized to fit our blended family, we also got many compliments from our guests...! Our meeting was easy & to the point...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!🙏🏻❤️

Annemarie is just the best! Not only did she personally write a custom ceremony for us, she made sure everything ran smoothly during both our rehearsal and actual ceremony. We did not have to worry about a single thing! Our friends and families 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!

Annemarie developed a completely personal and heartwarming ceremony for our wedding that we and our guests loved. She captured our personalities and worked with us to include intimate details and personal touches for our ceremony. We were moved 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!

Annemarie wrote a completely personal and touching ceremony for our wedding that everyone loved. We got SO many compliments on our ceremony!  She really works with you to include the best personal touches as well as other unique ideas.  She was wonderful to work with and we are so happy that we chose her to officiate our wedding!

We couldn’t have asked for a better person to officiate our wedding! After one meeting with Annemarie, her energy, passion, professionalism and charm won us over. She was extremely helpful and full of suggestions throughout the whole process. She 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

Annemarie is absolutely amazing. She pours her heart and soul into working with you as a couple. She takes the time to get to know you, answer your questions, provide great ideas, and in the end she truly makes your ceremony everything you ever 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.

Annemarie was very well organized and easy to work with from day one. Though we met only once before the rehearsal, she worked with us extensively, and wrote a custom ceremony which incorporated our personal history and family traditions. Our families 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!

Annemarie was simply the best and helped made our wedding day memorable to everyone in attendance. She is an animal enthusiast and put us at ease about including our four-legged family members in the ceremony. After the ceremony, I had several 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!

Hello Annemarie! I was so happy to finally meet you yesterday and when Dawn and I were taking photos in the bedroom, I heard you arrive. I said to Dawn, "That's Annemarie! She's here!" And I felt so excited! Months back when Dave and I had taken 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.

Now that things are slowing down after the wedding and honeymoon, Vince and I have had a lot of time to reflect on our wedding. The whole day feels like a dream and our ceremony was perfect. We laughed and and cried (a long with our guests) and 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!

It was an absolute blessing to stumble across Annemarie as I was searching for someone to marry us on our big day. The moment I met Annemarie, it felt as if I had known her for years. She brings such a beautiful energy wherever she goes. The ceremony 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!

Annemarie is WONDERFUL! From your first meeting with her you will see her warmth and passion for what she does. We wanted a very personal ceremony and she wrote a completely unique ceremony just for us, included many personal details, and even 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!

One word: REMARKABLE. Annemarie is absolutely amazing & we couldn't have been more happy with everything she provided. PRE-WEDDING: Before the big day we looked at a few officiants but there was something about Annemarie that was different, 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.

I can not express my gratitude enough for how perfect annemarie made our wedding ceremony. It was exactly what we wanted and going into it we really had no idea what we even wanted. She captured our personalities and our love story so perfectly. 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.

Now that we've had a week to settle down and resume a normal pace of life again, we wanted to take a minute and thank you! Simply stated, you did an outstanding job on our wedding ceremony! We received so many wonderful compliments on the ceremony 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!

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.

Annemarie immediately made us feel really comfortable and like she definitely understood what we were going for as far as the feelings we wanted to evoke. We were a little uncomfortable with the idea of talking about our love in front of so many 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!

It was such a pleasure to be able to have Annemarie officiate our wedding. Right off the bat, you will notice how friendly, warm, and nice she is! Her happy aura and smile are so contagious! She truly cares about her clients. She does an amazing 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!

Annemarie was an outstanding officiant. She was present, enthusiastic, detail-oriented, authentic and beyond capable of holding a space for a meaningful and moving ceremony. Be warned, she's very thorough in her method of getting to know you. 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
