REVEREND MARIE WALLACE, Ordained Interfaith Minister
Honors and embraces the wisdom of all faith traditions and spiritual perspectives to best serve the personal and collective spiritual needs of a growing “spiritual, but not religious” population in a wide range of community settings.
Celebrating Your Unique Story
My goal is to help create a ceremony that reflects your personal story, shared love and future dreams.
As a professional with vast experience, I will guide you from the first day to make this occasion a memory of a lifetime. Whether it be helping you to choose special readings, create significant rituals, or bringing in favorite traditions, your ceremony will reflect your style, wants, and beliefs, creating a wedding that holds meaning for you.
Marriage laws require that your ceremony contain three elements, a vow, a pronouncement, and the signing of your license. You get to choose everything else, and your custom-written ceremony will reflect these choices.
I’ve included some of the most common themes for weddings below. You may use one of these or a combination of these as a template to create something meaningful and uniquely yours. I would be happy to explore these with you.
An Interfaith Minister is someone who honors and embraces the wisdom of all faith traditions and spiritual perspectives to best serve the personal and collective needs. Please let me know if I can answer any questions for you. It is my pleasure to serve.

Common Wedding Themes
Create something that is meaningful and uniquely yours!
Celebration of Love
Your ceremony can be a celebration of your love story, focusing on the two of you and your love and commitment to each other without any reference to religion. This can be a ceremony that is personal and meaningful to you with elements from your relationship that make it distinctively yours.
Blending Your Traditions
If religious or cultural traditions resonate with you, they can be easily incorporated into the ceremony. Even if you as a couple are interfaith, intercultural, or interspiritual, we can find ways to honor you both, creatively weaving components from the past while still honoring beliefs of the present. My training includes mystical and traditional forms of Christianity, Judaism, Sufism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, African, Native American and more. Many paths are open to you.
A Spiritual Ceremony
If you describe yourself as “spiritual but not religious” or are “religiously independent” and want your special day to authentically reflect who you are, we can create this, too. As your wedding officiant, I will explore your spiritual beliefs and core values and magically weave these into the ceremony.
Marriage Equality
It is my privilege to honor all marriages and I am excited to be able to provide everyone with the ceremony of their dreams. Every couple has a story and I will be pleased to tell yours in a way that honors you, your partner, your family and friends.

As a wedding planner we get to work with a number of Officiants, some are family friends and it make sense if they are nervous or mess up a little. But, when you are hiring a professional this is the last thing you want.
Marie is absolutely amazing and wonderful! Her flow is calming and she makes your ceremony feel like she is the friend you asked to marry you. She is a kind and thoughtful woman, who truly loves what she does.
If your looking for a friend to marry you, but no one feels confident or comfortable doing it Marie is your “Friend” to make it happen!
Marie was so wonderful! Even with the chaos of a late bride she kept the groom and everyone calm and the wedding a very personal heartfelt event. Thank you so much Marie!! You were amazing.
Marie was an absolute gem! She took the time to work through our ceremony requests, added bits of our personality to her writings, and was gracious with our humor. Our wedding ceremony was perfect and everything we wanted. Thank you Marie! We appreciate your attention to us on our special day.
Marie was absolutely amazing! She was incredible throughout the whole process and was available and understanding for every question, concern or change. Marie really took the time to get to know us and personalized our elopement perfectly. We could not have asked for a better person to marry us! I would highly recommend Marie’s Gold!
Marie is absolutely amazing! She was perfect for our small intimate wedding and even traveled a ways for us, I highly recommend Marie! She’s the best!
Miss Marie was such a sweet heart and a dream to work with! She was so accommodating to our every need had a beautiful vibe and kindness to her. And excellent at communicating with us! We felt so comfortable with her! We recommend her a 1000 times over! Thank you so much!
We loved having Marie officiate our elopement. Marie took the time to get to know us and our story and make sure our ceremony was personalized and exactly how we wanted it. Marie loves love and it shows!
My husband and I could not be happier that we chose Marie to officiate our wedding. She asked so many great questions, not only in the beginning, but throughout the entire process so that she fully understood our relationship. Marie developed our ceremony based on our wants, needs, and beliefs and was in constant contact with us about it. She went over the ceremony with us several times, adding and substracting until it was exactly what we wanted. Because she took the extra time to really get to know our relationship, our ceremony could not have been more perfect. Her expertise and suggestions showed how educated she is on the subject and overall how much she cares about giving you the ceremony that is right for you. I highly recommend using her services because having such a personalized ceremony made our wedding day that much more special.
Marie put together and delivered the perfect wedding ceremony for my wife and me. We loved her fun, easy-going style as she was taking care of all the details of what we had requested be in our ceremony. Marie was an absolute JOY to work with!! She’s amazing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better wedding!
