WEDDING PERFECTION!
Mary Jean Valente is a Bride and Groom's Dream come true!!!! She is sincere, warm, genuinly caring and the most patient person I have ever met! When we were looking for someone to perform our ceremony we were concerned because this would be someone we would entrust one of the most special moments of our lives to and, for all intents and purposes, this person would be a complete stranger. A bit daunting to say the least. Like many people, we did not have a personal minister or rabbi (we are also of different cultures)so we wanted someone who would make us feel comfortable and someone who would take the time toget to know us and understand our needs. Mary Jean spent 3 hours with us when we very first met ...... she took time to just talk to us and make a connection which actually was a lot of fun. Then she asked us about what we wanted in a ceremony let us express our thoughts and ideas. Then we got to see a number of different ceremonies that she has already performed...she has such a variety of ceremonies we knew we would have a wonderful ceremony with her as our officiant. Then, througout the process of creating our ceremony, Mary Jean was professional, creative and so easy and fun to work with. She encouraged us and always had new ideas. Our ceremony was so much more than we ever had hoped it would be. As an officiant in front of our guests, Mary Jean was so elegant, eloquent and totally focused on us and helping us have a beautiful wedding. For someone we had only met a short time before, she seemed to all our guests to be an intimate friend. She even agreed to stay for our reception and everyone who sat with her just loved her.. After the wedding our guests told us how very much they enjoyed our ceremony and how impressed they were with Mary Jean as an officiant and for those who had the good fortune to spend time with her at the reception, what a great person she is. Needless to say, we enthusiastically recommend her without reservation!!!!
