so professional and loving, she took the time to learn more about not only my husband and I but also my step daughter. The day of our wedding she was able to speak of us as if she knew us forever! I highly recommend Marian she is compassionate in what she does! She has a heart of gold and I’m so honored that she was our officiant! Thank you Marian!

. This was a "later in life" second marriage for both of us, and there is no one who could have been more patient, kind, and understanding. We can't thank her enough for such a beautiful service.

with us on the meaningful aspects of our relationship, but also how she connected with our families during the rehearsal to learn more about us. She was completely flexible as we used her guide, but added a couple of our own touches to the ceremony. Her spirit is undeniable! She is a lovely person and we'll maintain a relationship with her outside of the event. She made it extra special and would couldn't be more thankful!

From every moment leading up to our big moment to the blessed moment itself, Marian made it happen! My husband and I wanted nothing more than a personal and unique experience for not only ourselves, but those who shared in our special day! With her willingness, compassion, and love, Marian helped make our day everything we had envisioned and more. She truly listened to our thoughts and even contributed her own during the planning process. We wanted our experience to be uniquely different on a more personal level. We wanted everyone to feel connected to the beauty of our matrimony and Marian set the tone! I highly and sincerely recommend Marian Schappell to anyone who dreams of their special day as being exactly what they hope for! Thank you Marian! We love you and are so incredibly grateful for your time and selflessness! Heather and Jason Wealand

We went through what we were looking for during the ceremony and any little touches we might want. She also took the time to get to know put story and out personalities. Marian was then very helpful and always available when needed with suggestions on reading, poems, and even our vows. My husband and I wrote our own and she was even willing to look them over and give opinions. She was then very helpful during rehearsal. I really feel that Marian went above and beyond to make sure my special day went smoothly and will be a day I will never forget. She is very open, understanding and compassionate.

us. She created a wedding ceremony that reflected our beliefs and values and most importantly included our children in the ceremony in a way that made them feel like the most special people on earth. Every single person at our wedding pulled us aside to tell us how touched they were by our ceremony.... that they had never experienced on that was so personal. That they listened and enjoyed every word. Marian made our ceremony something that our entire family will always remember and the absolutely perfect start to our new life together.

Marian's caring and compassionate nature made her a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her to any couple looking for an officiant for their wedding ceremony. Marian listened to what I wanted and suggested many great ideas when I asked for help. As an inter-faith minister, she is very knowledgeable when it comes to different faiths and customs. She is very flexible and open to anything. Her ceremonies are not cookie cutter and "one size fits all." Marian really got to know us as a couple and tailored the songs, readings, and ceremony to our unique personalities and values. Did I mention that Marian is a professional singer with an amazing singing voice? She sang several songs during our ceremony that she spent a long time researching to make sure they represented our love as a couple. Everyone at the ceremony was impressed by Reverend Marian Schappell and I recommend her to everyone!
