Annemarie Juhlian, Wedding Officiant & Non-Denominational Minister ~ Seattle/Tacoma, WA State

It's Annemarie! Hi there - it's Karen Alexander and we can't thank you enough for marrying us this October. I was just on this site looking for a Photographer and saw your profile. We're working on our ceremony homework and will be in touch. Karen. p.s. Annemarie is wonderful at what she does - if she's available, book her!

OMI! Annemarie, I just found this site and couldn't resist saying hello. Dave and I just loved everything you did for our ceremony last Fall - it was "beyond our wildest dreams" and our family and friends still talk about the laughter and the tears. You are amazing - thank you again! Susan and Dave Carlson

Annemarie - Dan and I just returned from our Honeymoon and we are still smiling about our wedding day - especially our wedding ceremony. It was everything we dreamed of and more. Thank you for coming out an extra hour early to help us at the last minute and for all of your creative energy. The ceremony was just the best - "truly us." May everything you give come back to you ten-fold. Melissa Boyne and Dan Kite, Seattle, July 19, 2008

Hi, it's Rachelle! Thank you for the opportunity to "review you!" We are so happy to do so. Okay, ladies and gentlemen - if you need an Officiant, look no further. Yes, Annemarie isn't the cheapest Officiant in Seattle - and she's worth every penny. If you're looking for a lovely person with a big heart - a great smile - and a love for her work (she's fantastic at it!), go with Annemarie! Thanks again, Annemarie, for the most beautiful ceremony in the world on August 1st - at least we think so! Rachelle George

Dear Annemarie, We feel so very lucky to have met you!! Thank you for taking the time to guide us and create a ceremony that was so personal and memorable. We have received so many compliments from our guest about how wonderful and unique our ceremony was! We couldn’t have done it without you! Thank you for giving us the ceremony we were dreaming of! It was perfect and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Nicole and Joel Knechtel

My husband and I attended a wedding that Annemarie officiated and immediately fell in love. She is incredibly charismatic and wrote a beautiful ceremony, celebrating the love story of the couple. That was exactly what WE wanted! We hired Annemarie to be our wedding celebrant - we wanted a non-religious ceremony that was completely tailored to US! She is extremely well organized and communicative. We did pre-marital coaching with Annemarie which definitely helped set us up for success. It also allowed her to get to know us, as a couple and as individuals. She gave us questionnaires via email and asked us to complete them individually and as a couple - she used this information to write us a PERFECT ceremony. She allowed us to customize/edit/revise everything she did until it was perfect. (It didn't take much!) She had wonderful, creative suggestions for different aspects of our ceremony. On the day of the rehearsal - Annemarie whipped our wedding party into shape. I greatly appreciated her no-nonsense, organized, approach. It took a lot of the pressure off of me! On the wedding day, she delivered a flawless ceremony - one that we'll always remember and cherish. Our guests raved about the ceremony - saying it was the best they'd heard...that it was all about US (which is very important, on your wedding!) We adore Annemarie beyond words and you would be SO LUCKY to have her officiate your wedding!

Annemarie is absolutely wonderful! She's professional, thoughtful, and has such an amazingly warm personality. She was genuinely interested in learning about us as a couple, and it definitely showed in the ceremony that she wrote for us. When she sent the draft of our ceremony over, I actually had to stop reading it because it was making me cry while I was at work. On the day of our wedding, our guests were in tears, and afterwards, they told us that it was the best wedding ceremony they’ve ever attended. It was such a pleasure working with Annemarie, I would definitely recommend her!

Annemarie is awesome! She created a beautiful ceremony for us and really took the time to get to know us so she can personalized it just for us! We love her personality and I highly recommend her to anybody!

Annemarie made our wedding ceremony truly personal. People told us they cried at our wedding -- and they never cry at weddings! Because I wanted to honor my Persian heritage, Annemarie suggested incorporating a honey ceremony in our wedding. My husband and I fed each other a taste of honey to sweeten our marriage. It was a unique and special touch. Because we love to travel and have adventures, Annemarie suggested making an adventure box. We made 25 envelopes with adventures in them. Every anniversary, we will select an adventure for the coming year. Our honeymoon was the first adventure we picked from the box!Annemarie was a master orchestrator for us at our wedding. She made sure everyone was in the right place and the ceremony started on time! She coordinated with our vendors so everyone knew their cues and had appetizers waiting for us after the ceremony in our room. She is always on top of things and returns e-mails promptly. She also was very accommodating for us when our venue changed our rehearsal date at the last minute.We couldn't have had a more beautiful wedding! Annemarie crafted us an elegant, meaningful, and momentous ceremony that was a reflection of us as a couple.

Annemarie was the perfect officiant for our intimate, personalized, and playful ceremony. She worked side by side with us to create the perfect vows, incorporated our families and guests into the ceremony, and even helped to fit in a Dr. Suess reading that meant a lot to us. She worked hard to make the ceremony completely about us and for us and it reflected us so much as a couple. Anyone looking for someone to officiate their ceremony that wants it to be personal and for it to be performed by someone they feel completely comfortable with- Annemarie is your officiant!

Requesting Annemarie to be your wedding officiant will be the best decision you make in your wedding planning. I highly recommend that you stop your search and seek her out as your officiant! She is warm, friendly, funny, direct, accommodating, helpful, insightful, reflective, easy to work with, calming, well-spoken one-on-one and with crowds. We knew we had the best officiant because every one of vendors knew Annemarie and commented on how lucky we were to have her as our officiant. She touched our hearts tremendously and made our ceremony feel like a fairytale. I do not know what I would have done without her. I am not exaggerating when I say that every guest I spoke with commented on how beautiful and personal the ceremony was. I could write for a long time about how amazing she is but you should just see for yourself!

Annemarie was absoultely amazing, professional, and a pleasure to have at our wedding! Thank you so much for such a beautiful ceremony! We wanted something really special, untraditional, and non-religious, while still have it feel spiritial. She achieved just that with our custom ceremony. Every section was specially written for us, incorporating our loved ones and special memories. We really wanted to have an outdoor ceremony, so as the clouds rolled in, Annemarie made sure to get everything started on time and finished before we had any rain! All of the guests left saying it was the *most* beautiful ceremony they have ever seen! Most importantly, it was truly unique and something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We are so lucky to have found her!!

Our Dream Ceremony~As soon as Justin and I came across your website we knew you were the person to marry us. Then after I spoke with you on the phone it made me even more confident that we had found the perfect officiant to marry us! Our ceremony fit us perfectly; it was elegant, entertaining and beautiful! Everyone is still telling us how wonderful our ceremony was. Thank you so much Annemarie for making our special day PERFECT! Although, we never met in person until the day of rehearsal it was like we had known each other for a while! Annemarie gets right down to business and takes charge which is really helpful to get the rehearsal done quickly. Justin and I along with the 100+ guests we have would strongly recommend Annemarie to anyone who wants to have a beautiful unique ceremony that fits you and your husband to be ---PERFECTLY!

Paul and I were married in April of 2011. We decided that we wanted a more contemporary ceremony that would be more memorable and crafted more specifically to us as a couple and family. Annemarie crafted a beautiful ceremony with a mix of emotional serious moments and humor, that touched and included not only us but our families and guests as well. Annemarie is a truly gifted officiant, professional, and experienced. She has a true gift, and will tailor your ceremony to your weddings style, size and beliefs. I can’t recommend her with enough enthusiasm to do justice to the phenomenal job she did at our wedding.

We could not have been happier with our ceremony. Annemarie worked with us to make the day so special. She helped us to craft unique and heartfelt vows that really spoke to us. She was very organized and took charge or our rehearsal and wedding day in a way that enabled us to both relax and ejoy the day.

When I first started looking for an officiant I was so excited that wedding plans were finally being made but I had NO idea how to pick an officiant. Since my fiance (now husband) and I were not part of any affiliation where someone could marry us, the hunt was on and and online my search began.I was immediately drawn to and excited about Annemarie because she was able to do a ceremony catered to our values, beliefs (religious or not), and love for one another. She e-mailed me back within minutes of me inquiring more information about her (and it was SO early in the morning!) and we met soon there after.My fiance and I walked away from our first meeting with Annemarie feeling more in love with one another, excited about our wedding, and confident that Annemarie was the one for us.From the moment we met her, to the day she married us, and the time that has followed Annemarie has been so caring, enthusiastic, full of joy and love and hope... there are not enough words for me to describe how impressed we were or how happy we were with the pre marital counseling and the wedding ceremony.Our guests raved about Annemarie during the reception and once we got home. Our guests loved how they got to learn more about my fiance and I, how personal the ceremony felt and how fun Annemarie was. We were told over and over again that our ceremony was THE BEST any of our guests had been to.The first day we met Annemarie she said, "Your guests may not remember the words you say during your ceremony but they will remember the way they felt during it." And she completely delivered! Our ceremony was romantic, personal, intimate, fun, and the best day of our life.I can't recommend Annemarie enough!

Annemarie was just what we were looking for in an officiant. She was fun to work with and helped us create a unique ceremony. Since we didn't have a wedding planner, she took on some of the day of duties herself to make sure everything went smoothly and on schedule.

Annemarie was the officiant at our wedding, and she was fabulous from start to finish. In preparing for the wedding, she met with us and worked with us to prepare a meaningful ceremony. When it was a bit of chaos at the rehearsal, and then again before the ceremony, she calmly took charge and made sure everything went smoothly, that the wedding party and ceremony space and keepsakes were in place, and that the guests felt welcome and relaxed. Annemarie has wonderful energy and earnestness, and she brought that to the ceremony - many people said it was the nicest ceremony they had seen. We were so thankful that Annemarie helped make the ceremony so special.

I would highly recommend Annemarie to anyone! She is extremely professional, highly organized and genuinely warm. We searched for officiants online on various sites and her reviews were all wonderful, so we decided to meet with her. We did a lot of research beforehand and were already pretty sure she would meet our expectations but she was even better than advertised. She is the perfect person to have in your corner on the biggest day of your life to make sure everything falls into place perfectly. My wife and I both have a hard time letting other people take control of situations for us but we felt 100% comfortable letting Annemarie run our day and she completely delivered! Her process for designing an intimate and personal ceremony is extremely effective. She managed to cover everything we wanted within our ceremony and brought many amazing ideas of her own. She created the perfect ceremony and orchestrated masterfully. All of our family and friends walked away truly inspired and so many people mentioned that it was the most perfect wedding they had ever attended. She also made us feel comfortable and because of her presence we were able to relax and enjoy our beautiful ceremony. It was an absolute pleasure getting to know her and if we ever decide to perform a vow renewal we'll be calling on her again!! Thank you Annemarie for being so passionate about your craft and helping us through the best day of our lives!

We loved Annemarie from our very first visit! It was important for us to find the right fit in our Officiant, someone who we were comfortable with, didn't feel judged by, who appreciated our unconventional relationship and understood our spiritual side. We really wanted to include our daughters, friends and family in our ceremony...to make them feel like active participants and very comfortable. She more than accomplished this and brought joy, humor, spirit and light to our ceremony and we couldn't be happier. The ceremony she helped create was more perfect than I could have imagined! She was also there to answer any questions and kept me on task by reminders on important things that I would have forgotten in the craziness of wedding planning like marriage license, LOL!

Annemarie did an amazing job. We were impressed from the get-go by her efficiency and her professionalism, in addition to her warm demeanor and caring attitude. My husband and I selected a non-denominational officiant because I am Jewish and he is Christian. Annemarie did an outstanding job weaving together both of our faiths. The ceremony was inclusive, warm, caring, humorous, and hopeful - exactly what we requested. In what was the ultimate confirmation that we made the right choice choosing Annemarie, there was a moment during the ceremony where I teared up and was unable to speak. Annemarie put a comforting hand on my shoulder, dropped her voice to match my volume, and finished the "repeat after me" part that way. It was noticed by all of the guests that she was a consummate professional, and I can't recommend her enough. It is obvious that she has done this for a long time, but her experience has honed her skills to the point where she puts people at ease and makes a stressful experience into something loving and memorable. Thanks, Annemarie, for the best day of my life! The wedding was three days ago, so these recollections are very fresh :)

We loved Annemarie! We met with her about a year before our wedding. She impressed us from the beginning. She asked great questions of us during our first meeting and set very clear expectations for her and us. About 4 months before the wedding, Annemarie sent us questionnaires for us to complete - one questionnaire we filled out individually and another together. From there, Annemarie put together our beautiful ceremony. She added the perfect level of sentiment, humor, and kindness that fit us. On the day of the ceremony, Annemarie was right on time and we did a walk-through with her about an hour before the actual event. She made sure everyone knew what to do and when and we knew we were in good hands. Be prepared though... once Annemarie shows up, everything suddenly moves at lightening speed! She most definitely takes control of the ceremony which is exactly what we needed her to do.The ceremony itself was perfect. We read through it and were able to provide feedback well in advance but we had so few edits. As mentioned, she added a touch of humor, a touch of sentiment, and created a wonderful memory for us. One of the reasons we liked Annemarie so much is that she also built in a "take away" for us... something that was unique to us which we very much appreciated. During the ceremony, Annemarie really connected with us but also with our guests. At one point, she stepped out around us to address our parents (she couldn't see them directly because of the set up). We thought that was exactly the right touch at the right time. She ad-libbed the ceremony at a couple of points but in just the right way.Bottom line is that Annemarie is great! We have absolutely no regrets about selecting her as our officiant and recommend her without hesitation.

Annemarie made our wedding so special and personal. From the moment I met with her, I loved her. She is kind, excited about weddings and knows what she is doing!Throughout the whole process, she was extremly responsive and helpful. We started the process by doing homework by ourselves and as a couple. This helped Anne Marie write such a personal, intimate ceramony that we were able to approve months before the wedding. Our ceramony was beautiful and had quotes from my Mom, best friend and from each other. It was touching, funny and warm. Annemarie led the rehearsal and was so efficent and on the ball. She handled everything that night and the day of the wedding. She arrived early to the wedding and made sure everyone knew what to do and was ready to go. She was PERFECT in the ceramony, she really made our wedding and set the tone for the day. I can't imagine going through the process without her. Everyone kept commenting on how intimate, warm and perfect the ceramony was because of her. She is truly the best-make sure to include her in your special day!

Annemarie is unbelievable to work with. We had to postpone our initial wedding date due to immigration paperwork and Annemarie was so understanding and accomodating. She has an amazing way of personalizing everything and her smile can make anyones day. How could one not pick her? :) She brought such a warth and ease to the day. As it was a small wedding Annemarie was excellent at getting everything coordinated leading up to the ceremony. She was very professional and approachable to work with. Annemarie feels like a friend and we feel very blessed that she was a big part of our day. Thankx again Annemarie - xoxo Chris & Joey Garland.

Wow. My husband and I had 3 appointments the first day we met her. She was our first and we cancelled the next 2 meetings. There was no one else that would have or could have been better then her. She is so lively, energetic and fun. However she also asks that she be "wedding coordinator" for the the hour before the wedding. This is a refreshing selling point. I heard she was telling people to get this we need that etc on the day of. Her heart is truly in what she does. We love her....

Annemarie was the first vendor we hired as we embarked on our wedding planning adventure, and we are SO GLAD we found her! Her calm and professional demeanor, humor, smile, knowledge, and obvious commitment to her craft were present through every moment of the process. And our ceremony? EVERY guest we spoke to remarked how special, unique, warm, elegant, and fun it was. Our day would not have been as special without Annemarie in it. You can't find a better officiant!

We really couldn't have asked for a better officiant. Originally, we had wanted someone who knew us personally. When that didn't work out, we started our search for an officiant. Annemarie was the first person we met with, and also the last. Both me and my husband knew she was perfect for our wedding during our first meeting. The meeting was all about getting to know us as a couple and what we wanted to create the perfect ceremony. Annemarie listened to everything we had envisioned and offered suggestions that made our ceremony even more special. We ended up with a ceremony that was personal and touching with not many dry eyes in the room. Annemarie is well spoken and professional. I would highly recommend her services to any couple.

I had an idea about what I wanted for everything in my wedding and reception, but I really needed some direction with the ceremony. We knew we wanted it to be special, personal, fun, a memorable, but we didn't know where to go from there. I found Annemarie by a search online. I don't know what good karma I earned to have randomly found this amazing person, but I'm so glad! She was absolutely amazing. Everyone was talking about how beautiful and fun our ceremony was. She really helped us direct our feelings into words to be shared, and I still smile when I think of our ceremony and the things we were able to say. She also used her amazing organizing skills to get everyone together while I was just getting dressed and being a bride. I had a very small wedding, and there were still so many questions from my parents. She was so amazing and taking care of it all. I can not recommend her enough.

Annemarie Juhlian was the perfect officiant for our wedding day! She is very professional and knows the wedding timeline very well so we were well prepared for our wedding day with a custom ceremony prepared in advance of the big day.Annemarie was wonderful at rehearsal making sure we stayed focused on preparing for the ceremony and making sure everyone was comfortable with their part in the ceremony.We received so many compliments after our ceremony about how personal & touching people thought the ceremony was. Annemarie did an excellent job of incorporating our personalities into our ceremony. Her service is well worth every penny of her fee. We feel very blessed that we found her and she was a part of our wedding ceremony.Cheers!Robyn & KennyBallard, WAMarried March 6, 2010

Annemarie was absolutely wonderful! We received so many compliments on our ceremony. One couple even asked for her name because they want her for their daughter's wedding next year! I couldn't be happier with how our ceremony turned out.

She was the best! She made our ceremony so special!

Annemarie was a perfect match for my fiance & I - she was the first and only officiant we interviewed and though she encouraged us to interview others before making a final decision, we didn't listen, and booked her without hesitation. A decision that we are so very happy with, the ceremony she delivered was exactly what we wanted and then some. It was the perfect blend of emotion and humor we hoped for. Many of our guests came up to us after and said what a beautiful memorable ceremony it was. Annemarie is a very kind, thoughtful, energetic person who's love for what she does shines through in every aspect of the ceremony. Our gratitude is boundless Annemarie - our many many thanks for a most beautiful ceremony! Mrs. Diane Lee, Seattle WA

Annemarie is wonderful to work with - she has a joyous energy that flows over to everyone around her, and sets a great tone for the ceremony! And when the big day came, I had totally forgotten everything we had rehearsed and she was just perfect in subtly directing us through the ceremony so that we could just enjoy being in the moment but still do everything as planned. Everyone commented on how much they enjoyed the ceremony which Annemarie had customized for us. In fact, one of our guests would like her to do a renewal of vows ceremony for a future anniversary! If you'd like to pull off the perfect day, having Annemarie as your officiant will be a great start.

If we had a dollar for every guest of ours who said how awesome (their word) our officiant was, we could probably host another reception. That was one of the first things guests said to us after our ceremony. Annemarie brought such a sense of calm during the ceremony that we were able to focus on hearing the beautiful words she prepared for us and really think about what our ceremony meant to us both. She was a true joy to work with, from our first meeting and the way through the entire process. Will always be grateful to her for all her hard work and the lovely ceremony she created for us. We could not imagine a better experience!We will gladly recommend Annemarie to anyone who is planning their wedding without hesitation.

Annemarie was absolutely fantastic, and made our wedding so incredibly special and memorable. We received countless compliments about her after the ceremony, many saying it was the happiest wedding they had ever attended. She really takes over and crafts a wedding ceremony that is unique and custom fit, and eliminates the stress and guesswork. Our wedding was perfect and there were no surprises, just a true representation of our love for each other and a joyful and reverant celebration. Thanks a ton Annemarie!!!

Annemarie Juhlian was quite possibly the best decision I made for my wedding other than my groom. She wrote a ceremony for us that was so personalized that made nearly every family cry and laugh all in the same breath including the bride and groom. She was so well organized at the rehearsal and provided such excellent ideas that made each moment even more treasured. As they say "love is in the details" and Annemarie understands this concept. If you're looking for an officiant who will not stand up, be stuffy and bore your guests through the "I Do's" then this is your gal! Our guests actually enjoyed the ceremony as much as the reception. Thank you is not enough to Annemarie for creating a truly magical day for the two of us and our families!

All you really need to do is read the other reviews that predate our wedding date. Our experience echos theirs. Annemarie was great to work with, did a terrific job crafting a personalized ceremony and delivered it with great energy and delight. One of my best friends remarked that the ceremony and our vows sounded just like we wrote the entire thing ourselves, it matched us so well. Annemarie is a true professional and her experience and enthusiam really come through from the beginning of the process to the end result. When she says not to worry about something, that it will all come together and be fine, or that she will make sure something is taken care of, you can believe her!

AnneMarie was perfect! I have a very shy husband and was very worried about getting the sincere and meaningful ceremony I always dreamed of without having a groom who was dreading every second of it. Annemarie listened to us and our requests and come up with a the most incredible original ceremony for us. Everyone was touched and I have never been to a wedding before where so many people talked about the officiant. It seemed like she knew us. She was able to involve everyone in the moment and for that Chad and I are both ever so grateful. I have already received requests from guests for information to pass along to others on her services. I cannot thank her enough for making the day run so well and making the ceremony something no one will soon forget. Thank you Emily and Chad Tester Married May 2nd 2009

From the moment we met Annemarie we knew our search for an officiant was over!! We were very concerned that we wouldn't be able to find an officiant that we were comfortable with and flexible and creative enough to make a ceremony unique to us...boy were we wrong!!!! She created a ceremony that you would swear was created by a life-long friend who had known us through our whole relationship. Annemarie went above and beyond to create a unique, one-of-a-kind ceremony that truly reflected who we are as a couple. Through our "homework" and email, Annemarie was able to craft what my husband and I would truly call the perfect ceremony. She took the elements of what was most important to us (even our puppies and love letters!!!) and included them in thoughful and amazing ways. Her suggestions were always just that and she left the final decisions up to us. On the day of the wedding she came in and was able to meet with all of our family members and ensure that everyone knew their jobs and places and felt at ease- including myself (bride!!). I cannot imagine our wedding day without her.After reading all the reviews of Annemarie and having her perform our ceremony, I can truly say that all of the positive, amazing reviews of her are truly accurate. Annemarie was slightly more than we had intended for our budget but my husband and I both agree that after having her perform the wedding- we would have paid almost any price for her!! SHE IS WORTH EVERY CENT AND MORE!!!!You will not regret hiring Annemarie! She is amazing!!!Katy & Matt SavolskisMarried 4/11/09

Annemarie gets 5 stars from me. She is the consummate professional. From start to finish, she made my fiance and I feel so special, not like another wedding date on her calendar. She customized our ceremony to fit us and gave us the final say in what would be said, and conducted an organized rehearsal and ceremony so I could focus on the task at hand, becoming a wife! Throughout the entire process, I knew I was in good hands and didn't have to worry about a thing. The ceremony was so intimate, even with our 160+ guests, because she really got to the heart of us as a couple. She ran the show like the pro she is and I've heard nothing but wonderful comments from our attendees. Many of our guests have said she's the best officiant they've ever seen. She really knows her stuff. You MUST use Annemarie for your wedding - there's no one like her!

Thank you, Annemarie! We loved working with you and so appreciate the beautiful ceremony you created for us. Our wedding day was amazing and you were a big part in bringing it all together. Candace & Joel

Finding an Officiant wasn't easy. Our church would not marry us and to tell you the truth - we were a bit "freaked" to find somebody we didn't know. We met with three Officiants and then found Annemarie. And then I (Katie) could relax. Our ceremony last weekend was beautiful. Annemarie lead our rehearsal and was with us over an hour beforehand making sure things were in place. I was really nervous and just having her was perfect. And our ceremony? Beautiful. Bryan and I are so happy with Annemarie and offer this glowing recommendation! We're off on our honeymoon this holiday weekend for two weeks - and yes, we'll "do the dance" on the beach!! Katie and Bryan, August 23, '08

My bride and I decided that we wanted an somewhat unconventional wedding in our favorite spot in Seattle; outside and braving whatever weather we might be forced to labor. Annemarie was onboard from the very beginning! (Fortunately our day was beautiful and on the beach!)She come up with many great ideas and fun things to consider that would make our day even more special than we ever anticipated. She was also very adept at being able to read the nature of what made my bride and i so close to eachother, and she ran with it during our ceremony, adding that "just right" personal touch. Most of all, Annemarie is FUN! She knows how to keep everything where it should be: a personal, exciting experience that is customized for the couple. I couldn't think of ever going a different route than the one we choose when she officiated our wedding.If you like the idea of having someone really personalize the wedding, and put a special touch on things, i would highly recommend Annemarie. She really is great at what she does!

Annemarie did a fantastic job of piecing together a ceremony that was just perfect for Jason and I. We completed the worksheets she provided and the result was a very personal and intimate ceremony that we loved. I think our guests came away knowing more about who we are as a couple, why we decided to make this commitment to one another and the reasons why we love and appreciate each other.

I cannot say enough about how much we loved Annemarie. She was a blast to work with, and I felt like she really "got" my husband and I and, as such, delivered a ceremony that fit our personalities perfectly. She's also a master organizer, and will take care of all of the logistical details of the ceremony and rehearsal for you - you just need to show up. You will have to fill out some pretty lengthy paperwork for her, but it's not horrible and the results are most definitely worth it. Again, she was very flexible and let us add/remove elements of the ceremony to really make it "ours". She also offers pre-marriage coaching, which my husband and I took advantage of. She's not a license counselor or therapist, but she'll work with you to make sure that you've had all of the conversations with each other you need to have before combining your lives and will refer you to a therapist if it's necessary. We took advantage of it just to make sure we'd covered everything, and the added bonus was that she got to know us a bit better before our ceremony.

It is not possible for me to say enough wonderful things about Annemarie. She simply made my wedding day unforgettable. It was so much more than just a wedding ceremony. We laughed, we cried. We had humor and depth. It was so truthful and loving and so perfectly our story. Even being the perfectionist that I am, I could not have written a better ceremony. And from the minute we first spoke to well after the wedding she was always pleasant, kind, and completely diligent. She put me at ease and melted my worries. I have been to weddings that were boring and tired. Mine was definitely not one of them. This will be one of the most important moments in your life, so you might as well not fall asleep for it :) She will truly amaze you. Thank you, Annemarie!

Annemarie was fantastic! Our ceremony was so personal and wonderful. We received positive comments from tons of our guest about the ceremony. Annemarie took the time to get to know us and know what our relationship was about. I would highly recommend her!

My husband and I connected with Annemarie immediately when we first met her. We decided to do pre-marriage coaching with Annemarie (which I also highly recommend for numerous reasons), and over the course of three 1-hour sessions, we became more comfortable with her and got to know her better. Annemarie is a dream to work with - she is professional, capable, warm, generous, and empathetic. She has a wealth of experience and does not hesitate to share or offer her advice. She was kind enough to go over our "day-of" schedule to make sure we were on track. On our wedding day, she went above and beyond typical officiant duties and helped facilitate our guest seating, organization and overall set-up of our ceremony. Our wedding ceremony went off beautifully and John and I felt so comfortable up there with our "big sister" Annemarie.It is truly a pleasure working with Annemarie. If we're still in the Seattle area longterm, we hope to renew our vows with Annemarie some time in the future!

I thought is was very nice that Annemarie asks her clients to answer questions and tell their story about their relationship. This made it feel like we weren't just being married by anyon. From our story she wrote very personal vows for us, which are now framed in our home.A trial run makes a bride feel more comfortable before the big day, so I think that in the price a rehearsal should be included.Annemarie did a great job at coordinating the bridal party and starting the ceremony on time. She spoke beautifully and from the heart. All of our guests continue to talk about our beautiful ceremony. l

Annemarie was awesome! If you want someone who will take control and make sure things get done, with a sense of professionalism and personal touch, she's the person for the job. I couldn't have made a better choice! She was perfect.

Hands down the best officiant in Seattle! We love her joyful spirit and enthusiastic approach. No 2 weddings are the same with Annemarie!

Annemarie is by far the most energetic, sweet, fun, charming officiant I have had the pleasure of working with. I can't recommend her enough!

We worked with Annemarie at a beautiful wedding at Willows Lodge last summer. The ceremony ran perfectly smooth, and Annemarie did an amazing job as officiant. Annemarie was a pleasure to work with!

I wholeheartedly recommend Annemarie Juhlian to those who have yet to decide on an officiant for their wedding. She is engaging and easygoing and leads a ceremony that is a true pleasure to attend. You will never get a monotonous, impersonal ceremony from her, and your guests will thank you for it! Plus, from a photographer's point of view, she smiles so much that she's supremely easy to have in your ceremony photographs, and is an individual whom you will happily remember every time you look at them.

Annemarie is simply a top-notch pro who goes above and beyond to help her clients have the most perfect rehearsals and ceremonies! She is a director of sorts, not just someone who is ordained - one of the many reasons we enjoy working with her. Even if she isn't available, her 2nd Kathy Junglove is awesome! So...if you need an officiant and want someone who is most organized, has a great personality and is a true professional, please consider Annemarie Juhlian.

Annemarie brings joy, positivity and energy to every wedding she performs, and is always a joy to work with. I give her my highest recommendation!

I'm always happy to arrive at a wedding and find that I will be working with Annemarie. She always does a wonderful ceremony, and does an amazing job of personalizing for every couple. Can't think of anyone who will do a better job as a wedding officiant!

Annemarie does such an amazing job connecting with her clients and providing them with a ceremony they will never forget! She delivers sincerity, and every client I've had that has used her has been nothing but 110% satisfied!

I have worked with Annemarie on numerous occasions and she always brings her delightful brand of humor and charm to every event she officiates. Annemarie is masterful at putting everyone-- brides, grooms, guests and fellow vendors-- at ease. Whenever I learn that I will be working with Annemarie I always breathe a sigh of relief knowing that my job as DJ just got a little bit easier!

Annemarie is fantastic! She has one of those charismatic personalities that makes you want to look for the 'good' in everything that lies ahead. She is truly a breath of fresh air! Her joy for life is contagious; after spending just five minutes with Annemarie, you will be smiling, happy, and bursting with joy! The ceremony she designs for you will be warm and meaningful; full of laughter; beaming with love.

I had the pleasure of working with Annemarie in late May of this year, and was thrilled with her level of expertise and devotion to her clients. She attended to every last ceremonial detail, and took last-minute changes in stride. At one point during the ceremony, the bride became emotional and had trouble enunciating her vows. Annemarie moved to put her arm around the bride -- and lowered her voice to match that of the bride -- and coaxed her through the remainder of her vows. It was touching and perfect. Annemarie is a professional in every sense of the word -- and brings a personal touch to each wedding she participates in. I whole-heartedly recommend her!

Annemarie is a pro's pro! Meticulously working and planning closely with her clients, she delivers an amazing ceremony experience that connects every guest to the couple - whether family, friends, distant relatives, or new acquaintances. It is obvious that she is someone that truly cares about getting to know her brides and grooms - and I, as a professional MC, cannot stress how important that is as a public speaker.There are several great officiants I know - and then there is Annemarie.

I have worked with Annemarie multiple times now and she is incredibly captivating, considerate and refreshing. She consumes herself in every wedding she does, ensuring every bride and groom's confidence during one of the most emotional and special times in their life. Annemarie has my highest recommendation!

Annemarie Juhlian is one of the best officiants in Western Washington. We love to work with her and we know that the bride and groom will have a great ceremony. Annemarie is fun, energetic, and passionate about joining a bride and groom in matrimony.

Annemarie Juhlian is professional and personal. Her ceremonies, heart-felt and sincere, focus on the bride and the groom and their new life together.

Annemarie's smile, presence and energy is such a joy to be around. I would encourage anyone that wants to have their ceremony be thoughtful, gentle, rich and to have a touch of humor to give her a call. She's great to photograph too!! :)

Annemarie is a true professional. I have been a wedding photographer for 20 years. Annemarie is one of the best in the city. She is warm, straight forward, and enthusiastic to work with. Not to mention fun! Her ceremonies are always very personal, as if she has known the couple for a long time. I highly recommend Annemarie!

I love working with Annemarie. Her ceremonies are personal and always touching. Annemarie has a way of connecting with people, as though she's known them her whole life.

Annemarie, without a doubt, is one of the BEST officiants we have worked with. She makes the ceremony so very personal for her couples and brings joy and laughter with her words of encouragement. It is truly a joy to work with this exceptional wedding professional. Believe me, I know, as a wedding photographer, I go to a lot of weddings, and have worked with a lot of officiants. Very few come up to the equal of Annemarie!
